The Corruption Cleansing Event in Diablo Immortal is a timed activity where you clear corrupted zones, fight stronger monsters, and earn event currencies for cosmetics and materials. I’ve played these events for years, and honestly, if you plan smart you’ll get more than casual players—no magic required.
🔥 What the event is (short)
Corrupted monsters spawn with a dark aura, deal more damage, and drop better loot. You kill them, purify corruption nodes, and collect Purification Essence or other event currency. It’s combat-focused and rewards repeatable play.
Want a quick tip? Focus on zones that match your Combat Rating; trying harder zones wastes time and resources. I’ve noticed many players rush high-tier areas and die a lot—don’t be that player.
đź“… Typical schedule (exact example)
Events usually last 7–14 days. Example window (check your server): May 8, 2025 03:00 — May 14, 2025 02:59 server time. Daily resets hit at 03:00 server time most servers. Why is that relevant? Because daily objectives and login bonuses reset then—miss a reset and you lose progress.
Daily Reset: 03:00 Server Time
Peak Hours: 19:00 - 23:00 Server Time
Corruption Hotspots increase during peak⚔️ Steps to clear corruption
Open Events → Corruption Cleansing to see tasks and rewards. Claim finished rewards before starting more, or you’ll hit capacity and lose value (true story).
How to act in a hotspot:
- Kill corrupted mobs until elites spawn.
- Interact with Corruption Nodes (glowing crystals) to purify areas.
- Pick up Purification Essence and Corruption Crystals quickly—inventory fills fast.
- Return to the Event NPC for bonus claims when needed.
(This method doesn’t always work—depends on your server population and time of day.)
đź’Ž Rewards at a glance
Rewards scale by Essence collected. Expect tiers from Bronze up to Diamond; Diamond often gives an exclusive cosmetic and a title. To be precise: Diamond usually sits around 8,000 Purification Essence for the top cosmetic in past 2024–2025 rotations.
| Tier | Essence | Typical Reward |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 500 | Gold, crafting scraps |
| Silver | 1,500 | 1-Star Legendary Gem, Platinum |
| Gold | 3,000 | 2-Star Legendary Gem, Reforge Stones |
| Diamond | 8,000 | Exclusive Cosmetic, Title |
“Save high-tier currencies until the event ends; new gems often drop after events.” — practical advice
🛡️ Builds that work well
Short: ranged AoE and mobile melee both work. Long: Demon Hunters with Multishot clear packs safely; Necromancers chain kills with Corpse Explosion; Barbarians with Whirlwind sustain long runs but need slightly higher Combat Rating. In my experience, a 3,000 CR Demon Hunter farms faster than a 3,200 CR character who dies often.
Recommended stats (specific): Combat Rating first, Critical Hit Chance ≥15%, Critical Damage ~200%+, Life ~40,000+
🎯 Pro tips and why they work
Plan routes through 3–4 adjacent maps. Why? Less running between spots means higher kills per hour which raises your Essence/hour. Here’s the funny part: sometimes skipping a rare elite (takes 5 minutes) nets less than hitting two quick regular hotspots—counterintuitive but true.
Use the Reset Technique (quick zone hops) to force respawns during off-peak hours; it’s faster when server load is low. To be fair, this can look grindy—but you’ll see results.
// Quick checklist
- Check event tab
- Match zone CR
- Bring potions + portal scrolls
- Keep inventory spaceGroup play? We found groups can boost hourly gains by roughly 25–40% when coordinated, but I’ll say something controversial: solo players who know routes often outperform random groups—because randomness kills efficiency. There are exceptions, of course.
Advanced notes (small)
Save Legendary Crests and Eternal Orbs until after the event—2025 patches introduced new gem options soon after events, so waiting increases value. Oddly enough, spending immediately sometimes feels good but is rarely optimal.
Surprising insight: sometimes lower-tier nodes with fast clears beat a single high-value boss for hourly yield. It’s like picking many small apples instead of one heavy pumpkin—more steady income.
Quick code of conduct: don’t steal spawn spots from clans during peak. Between us, that creates bad blood and you’ll be avoided later.
Final (short) reminder: log in daily, match zones to your strength, and prioritize speed over flashy kills. This doesn’t always work—servers differ—but overall you’ll get farther with steady, smart play. Go clear the corruption—get the loot, and have fun!
