In Diablo Immortal, you can instantly upgrade your Legacy of the Horadrim vessels in batches directly at the Horadric Altar inside Iben Fahd’s Sanctum. The updated Sanctum interface automatically tallies your inventory of Beryl, Garnet, and Sapphire stones, allowing you to invest multiple ranks simultaneously instead of tapping through repetitive individual animations.

How to Bulk Upgrade Vessels at the Altar

To spend stockpiled stones without wasting time in menus, follow this Sanctum routine:

  1. Defeat Daily Sanctum Mobs: Clear the entry grounds daily to collect free Aspirant’s Keys and opening materials.
  2. Open Chest Rooms: Spend your accumulated Aspirant’s Keys on Sanctum chests to gather raw vessel upgrade gems.
  3. Interact With the Horadric Altar: Approach the shrine in the center of the chamber to open your slotted vessel list.
  4. Trigger the Bulk Upgrade Option: Select the vessel you wish to improve and use the multi-upgrade command to immediately invest all available stones up to your maximum affordable milestone rank.
  5. Repeat for High-Priority Vessels: Allocate your stones deliberately across your core combat attributes before investing into secondary utility stats.

Vessel Upgrade Priorities by Gemstone Type

Stockpiled stones are divided into three distinct categories. Because each gemstone type feeds specific vessels, focus your bulk upgrades on the stats that directly impact your combat performance:

Beryl Gems (Armor Penetration and Armor)

Beryl stones feed vessels that boost Armor and Armor Penetration:

  • Armor Penetration: Allocate Beryl here first for offensive builds to increase critical damage against enemy armor ratings.
  • Armor: Prioritize Armor if you need to mitigate incoming critical hits and survive burst damage in PvP Battlegrounds.

Garnet Gems (Damage and Life)

Garnet stones power vessels that increase raw Damage and maximum Life:

  • Damage: Upgrade Damage vessels to raise your baseline output across all PvE activities and Helliquary raids.
  • Life: Invest in Life vessels to steadily raise your overall survivability pool.

Sapphire Gems (Potency and Resistance)

Sapphire stones fund vessels linked to crowd-control interaction:

  • Potency: Prioritize Potency if your class relies heavily on harmful debuffs, stuns, freezes, or damage-over-time effects.
  • Resistance: Invest in Resistance if you need to reduce the duration of harmful crowd-control effects inflicted on you by enemies.

Progression Pitfalls to Avoid

  • Spreading Gems Evenly: Avoid distributing stones equally among every slotted vessel. Concentrating your Beryl, Garnet, and Sapphire supplies into your primary combat stats yields a far stronger combat bonus than balancing all stats uniformly.
  • Hoarding Upgrade Stones: There is no mechanical advantage to saving thousands of upgrade gems now that batch upgrading is instantaneous. Spend your stones immediately upon leaving the chest rooms to claim the passive attribute gains.
  • Overextending in Chest Rooms: Only open chests past the first room when you have hoarded enough Aspirant's Keys to complete deeper milestones efficiently. Opening random chests without sufficient keys lowers your total gemstone yield per key spent.
