Acquire Your Pet
Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-ineffective, it efficiently gathers gold and materials, freeing you to focus on combat and loot acquisition.
Recruit Your Mercenaries
(Vessel of Hatred expansion required) Head to the Den and enlist mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, significantly easing leveling and combat while fostering Rapport for added rewards.
Follow the Seasonal Questline and Level Up
Begin on Normal difficulty and diligently follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. The questline, while brief (with minor puzzles), is the optimal path to level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers concurrently.
Unlock Your Class Power
A helpful feature: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires logging in with that character on the Eternal realm first).
Headhunt Zones
While exploring Headhunt zones, actively complete Whispers. Four zones are always active; prioritize smaller, denser zones for faster mob farming and Whisper completion. Prioritize these Whisper quests:
- Fugitive Shepherd: Escort animals.
- Fugitive: Defeat Elites, interact with roots to recover a head or destroy a husk.
Exchange 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers or with the Raven of the Tree (spawns in each Headhunt zone).
Witchcraft Powers
At the Tree of Whispers, purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Note: Some powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher; Draughts of Whispers increase encounter chances).
Rootholds
Access Rootholds (new dungeon type) using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). Similar to Infernal Hordes, activate negative modifiers to enhance loot. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.
Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems (superior to regular gems) with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. These are late-game items, requiring significant Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; Draughts of Whispers increase Head drop chances).
Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons
Continue incorporating Pits (for Glyph leveling) and Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs) into your routine. Farm Infernal Hordes for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques.
