Acquire Your Pet
Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-inept, your pet efficiently gathers gold and materials, freeing you to focus on combat and loot.
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 extra rewards.
Conquer the Seasonal Questline
Begin on Normal difficulty. Follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics (Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, Witch powers). While short, it includes puzzles and primarily involves Headhunt zone Favor farming. This is also the optimal method to reach level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers.
Unlock Your Class Power
A helpful feature: Class-specific priority quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior login on the Eternal realm). For example, a Season 7 Rogue needs a prior Rogue character with completed priority quests logged in beforehand. Your class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.
Dominate Headhunt Zones
Focus on Whispers while in Headhunt zones. Four are active at once; choose the smallest, most compact for higher enemy density and faster mob farming. 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. A Raven of the Tree also accepts Favors within each Headhunt zone.
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. 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.
Conquer Rootholds
Rootholds (accessed with Whispering Woods from Whispers and Silent Chests) are rogue-lite dungeons. Activate negative modifiers to enhance loot. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect their quantity and quality. Save keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.
Utilize Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems (with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry; they outperform regular gems. They are expensive (require Restless Rot and Heads from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; Draughts of Whispers increase Head drop chances).
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.
