Fleeting Shrine

A Fleeting Shrine provides a boost to character's movement speed. The shrine also provides a +25 yard bonus to a character's gold and health orb pick up radius.

While this is generally the most popular shrine for the movement speed bonus and easy gold pickup, some players dislike it since it makes it nearly impossible to avoid unneeded health globes, saving them for possible emergency use later.

• Fleeting Shrines were added to the game in Patch 1.0.5.[1]

Shrines in Diablo III

Shrines are randomly-located, randomly-spawned objects that characters can click to receive temporary buffs. Shrine effects pass to all players in the area when they are first triggered. All shrine benefits last for 120 seconds, and characters can benefit from multiple different shrines at once. Shrine bonuses and durations do not stack, and hitting a second shrine of the same type will simply reset the time to the full two minute duration.

• Blessed Shrine - Reduces all damage taken by 25% for 120 seconds.
• Empowered Shrine – Increased resource regeneration and reduced cooldowns for 120 seconds.
• Enlightened Shrine - +25% Experience gain from monster kills for 120 seconds.
• Fleeting Shrine – Increased movement speed and adds 25 yards to gold and health orb pickup radius for 120 seconds.
• Fortune Shrine - +25% to Magic Find and Gold Find for 120 seconds.
• Frenzied Shrine - Increases attack speed by 25% for 120 seconds.
