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 owners should visit the Den and recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for additional rewards.
-
Conquer the Seasonal Questline and Level Up
Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics like Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While relatively short, it involves puzzles and primarily focuses on Headhunt zone Favor farming. This is the optimal method to reach level 60. Continuously farm Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers simultaneously.
-
Unlock Your Class Power
A convenient update eliminates the need to repeat class-specific priority quests if completed on a previous character. Simply log in with that character on the Eternal realm before starting your Season 7 character. Your class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.
-
Dominate Headhunt Zones
While in 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. Remember, a Raven of the Tree spawns in each Headhunt zone, offering an alternative Favor exchange point.
-
Harness 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 (regular, Nightmare, Pits, Rootholds at Torment 1) or using a Draught of Whispers to increase encounter chances.
-
Conquer Rootholds
Rootholds (accessed with Whispering Woods from Whispers and Silent Chests) offer a rogue-lite experience similar to Infernal Hordes, allowing you to activate negative modifiers for improved loot. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers influence quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot acquisition.
-
Utilize Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems (from 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; Draughts of Whispers increase Head drop chances).
-
Tackle 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.
