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.
Recruit Your Mercenaries
Vessel of Hatred expansion owners should head to the Den and recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, significantly easing leveling and combat. Cultivate Rapport for added rewards.
Conquer the Seasonal Questline and Level Up
Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics (Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, Witch powers). While relatively short, it includes puzzles and primarily involves farming Favors in Headhunt zones. This is the optimal method for reaching level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers concurrently.
Unlock Your Class Power
A helpful change: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires logging in with that character on the Eternal realm first).
Dominate Headhunt Zones
While in Headhunt zones, actively complete Whispers. Four 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. Note: A Raven of the Tree appears in each Headhunt zone, offering an alternative Favor exchange.
Harness Witchcraft Powers
At the Tree of Whispers, use Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies) to purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers. Prioritize damage upgrades for passive damage boosts. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or with a Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.
Explore Rootholds
Rootholds (accessed with Whispering Woods from Whispers and Silent Chests) offer a rogue-lite experience, similar to Infernal Hordes. Activate negative modifiers to enhance loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers influence quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.
Utilize Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems (with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots; they outperform regular gems. Focus on these late-game; crafting is expensive, requiring Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses, Headhunt Fugitives, or with a Draught of Whispers).
Master 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.
