Diablo® III

As a reminder, all five hero sigils are now unlocked on the Darkness Falls, Heroes Rise launch site. From now until Friday, May 18, you can earn these exclusive in-game emblems to use on your character banners in Diablo III. All you need to do is create a Mark of Valor and you're set!

Some important notes:

• What happens if I mistype my Battle.net email address?
When submitting a Mark of Valor entry, the website will not check to see if your email address is valid at the time that your submission is made, so make sure you type it in carefully! If you make an error, simply resubmit. You'll receive a Mark of Valor confirmation email shortly after submitting your banner image.

• How can I tell the email I receive apart from a phishing or scam email?
The automated confirmation email will come from "noreply@reveal.diablo3.com." If you're worried about whether or not an email is legitimate, just know that no action is required on your part if you receive an email from this address. You won’t be asked to reply or click on any links.

• When will I actually receive my sigil?
We're keeping records of all the Battle.net accounts which have claimed each sigil. Within the first couple of weeks of Diablo III's release on May 15, we'll be processing all of these accounts and flagging them to unlock the appropriate sigils. The bonus sigils will automatically appear in-game in the banner customization screen in-game once awarded.

to receive every sigil, do i need to make a submission for every one of them?

You'll need to create and submit a new Mark of Valor image for each class to unlock all five sigils. One for barbarian, one for demon hunter, one for monk, one for witch doctor, and one for wizard.

the sigils are the symbols associated to every class, or the secondary little simbol, which goes under symbol, different for every class?

There are only five sigils in total (one sigil per class). They're exclusive, though, so the only way you can get them is by submitting a Mark of Valor image on Diablo III launch site. As noted above, you'll need to create and submit a new Mark of Valor image for each class to unlock them all for your account.

Just for reference, you can see all five of the sigils on this page: BOOM

The accents (which are the additional symbols you can place under the sigil) are not part of the sigil itself. They're already available in game, and you'll be able to add them to any banner you create.

I made a banner for the Demon Hunter waaay back when the confirmation emails weren't being sent out. Will I get a retroactive email for the Demon Hunter sigil?

Probably not. If you're unsure, you can always resubmit another Mark of Valor image today, or sometime before May 18. It won't mess anything up and might give you some peace of mind. :)

(As a side note, I just found out that confirmation emails should be working smoothly now. Sweet.)

Does every Battle.net account need a Diablo III license attached to it at the time the sigils are awarded in order to receive them?

Obviously, in order to use the sigils once you've earned them, you'll need to purchase Diablo III since they're an in-game reward. But nope, you don't need to have a Diablo III license on your Battle.net account at the time you submit your Mark of Valor images in order actually unlock the sigils themselves. Once your Mark of Valor submissions have been processed, your Battle.net account will be flagged and the sigils will automatically appear in your in-game banner customization options.

That make sense? Just keep in mind that it may take a few weeks after Diablo III launches before the sigils are awarded to all eligible Battle.net accounts (as noted in the main post).

or can we simply just keep it simple by using the default banner and picture and just skip to the email section and claim our in-game banner?

Using the default banner and customization settings is perfectly fine. You'll still unlock the sigil for your account even if you don't get creative. :)
