Get Your Pet

Upon starting *Diablo 4* Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While it doesn't fight, it efficiently gathers gold and materials, saving you valuable time and letting you focus on combat and loot.

Grab Your Mercenaries

If you own the *Vessel of Hatred* expansion, recruit mercenaries from the Den. Solo players can have two, significantly easing leveling and combat while offering Rapport rewards.

Follow the Seasonal Questline and Level Up

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the Season 7 questline (marked with green leaf icons). This introduces new mechanics like Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While not overly long (with a few puzzles), it’s the most efficient path to level 60. Focus on farming Headhunt zone bosses, collecting Favors, and upgrading Witch powers simultaneously.

Unlock Your Class Power

Previously completed class-specific priority quests are now automatically unlocked after logging in with a character who has already completed them on the Eternal realm. This saves time for returning players.

Headhunt Zones

In Headhunt zones, prioritize Whispers. Focus on smaller zones for higher enemy density and faster farming. Prioritize the "Fugitive Shepherd" (escorting animals) and "Fugitive" (defeating Elites and interacting with roots) Whispers. Trade 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers, or with the Raven found in each zone.

Witchcraft Powers

Purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers using Restless Rot (obtained from Rot enemies). Prioritize damage upgrades. Some powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds (Torment 1 and above). Draughts of Whispers increase Altar encounter chances.

Rootholds

Access Rootholds (new rogue-lite dungeons) using Whispering Woods (rewards from Whispers and Silent Chests). Activate modifiers to enhance loot quality. Save 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 (dropped by Roothold bosses and Fugitives; Draughts of Whispers increase drop rates).

Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

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