Diablo III Kore

The many realms of Sanctuary contain wonders of all kinds. Some of the most mysterious are the Shrines and Wells scattered across the lands. These Shrines and Wells are always beneficial, but you should choose the best times to use them.

 Shrine effects wear off after a period of time. Your character can be under the influence of only one Shrine at a time, and activating a second Shrine replaces the effect of the first. Most Wells and some Shrines recharge after a brief period of time and can then be used again.

Not all Shrines have an Icon above them on this page or in the game. Sometimes it is easy to pass up these Shrines without an Icon because you think you have already used them, or when they have been used by someone else in a multiplayer game. Don't pass these Shrines up. Check every Shrine you see and you may find a valuable Gem Shrine.

Be sure to run your mouse over a Shrine before clicking on it to see what kind of Shrine you have found. Be very careful around special Shrines so that you do not use them until you are ready. Avoid clicking on a Monster Shrine until you are ready to fight a Unique Monster or Champion. Don't click on a Gem Shrine before you have the proper Gem ready to upgrade.

Shrines that have a duration and Wells can be used to counter or remove the effects of a monster's curse, such as those casted by "Cursed" Unique Monsters, and [Unknown] Monster. Also monsters and hostile players can remove a curse when they try to cast another curse over the current curse.
