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 owners should visit the Den and recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for added rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. This questline, while short (with a few puzzles), is the optimal path to level 60, focusing on Headhunt zone bosses and Favor collection.

Unlock Class Power

Prior class-specific priority quests are bypassed if completed on a previous character (requires prior character login on the Eternal realm).

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on smaller, denser Headhunt zones for efficient mob farming and Whisper completion. Prioritize these Whispers:

• Fugitive Shepherd: Simple animal escort.
• 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 utilize the Raven of the Tree found in each Headhunt zone.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

At the Tree of Whispers, purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained from Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or using a Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.

Explore Rootholds

Access Rootholds using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). These rogue-lite dungeons offer adjustable modifiers impacting loot quality. Save keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilize Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (from Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for superior jewelry slots. These are late-game items requiring Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Fugitives; Draught of Whispers increases drop chance).

Master Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Continue utilizing Pits (for Glyph leveling), Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs), and Infernal Hordes (for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques).
