The Heavenly Forge is a central Season 11 feature, acting as a specialized hub where players access Sanctification, Divine Favor rewards, and essential services.
Introduced during Season 11: Divine Intervention, this location streamlines seasonal progression by combining upgrades, NPC interactions, and reputation systems into one area.
Understanding how to access and use the Heavenly Forge efficiently helps players maximize gear upgrades and seasonal rewards throughout their endgame journey.
How To Get To The Heavenly Forge?
1) Capital City Portal
One of the most basic ways to enter the Heavenly Forge is to simply visit any of the capital cities in Sanctuary, such as Kyovashad.
Once you are in a capital city, look for the Heavenly Forge portal and interact with it, and this will teleport you to the location.
2) Boss Portal
Another way to access the Heavenly Forge is after defeating one of the bosses from the activities during Season 11, which opens once they have been slain.
Entering a portal in this manner will also provide you with access to an upgrade with the Heavenly Forge, allowing you to sanctify one of your equipment.
Keep in mind, this is a one-way portal only, and heading back through the portal will not return you to where you originally entered it.
Heavenly Forge Accessible NPC/Features
The following are the accessible NPCs or features that may be found in the Heavenly Forge, which you may access during Season 11.

Sanctification
Sanctification is a new feature that was added in Season 11, which will remain until the season ends, and serves as an additional way to upgrade your items.
This will allow you to add a random enhancement to an item, but will also make it unmodifiable, which won’t allow you to upgrade it any further or make any other alterations.
Defeating bosses through the invasion activities during the seasons will allow you to access this portal, making these upgrades common and a fun way to do endgame upgrades.
