Get Your Pet
Load up Diablo 4 Season 7 and head straight to the nearest town with a Wardrobe. Interact with it to summon your pet. While pets don’t contribute directly in combat, they excel at gathering gold and materials. This speeds up resource collection so you can focus on what truly matters—fighting and looting.
Grab Your Mercenaries
If you own the Vessel of Hatred expansion, visit the Den to recruit mercenaries. Solo players can bring along two mercenaries, making battles easier and offering rapport-building opportunities for additional rewards.
Follow the Seasonal Questline and Level Up
Start on Normal difficulty and follow the seasonal questline, marked by green leaf icons on your map. These quests introduce new mechanics such as Headhunt zones, Grim Favors, and Witch powers. Completing these objectives efficiently is key to reaching max level (60). Focus on farming Headhunt zone bosses and turning in Favors at the Tree of Whispers. This process also levels up your Witch powers.
Unlock Your Class Power
Season 7 offers a convenient perk: you don’t need to repeat class-specific priority quests if you've completed them previously. Simply log in with your Eternal realm character to unlock your class power upon reaching the necessary level.
Headhunt Zones
Navigate Headhunt zones carefully. Always target smaller, denser areas to maximize enemy density and favor collection. Prioritize the "Fugitive Shepherd" and "Fugitive" whispers for quick progress. Turn in 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers or use the nearby Raven for convenience.
Witchcraft Powers
Upgrade your Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers’ Altars. Purchase abilities with Restless Rot, obtained by slaying Rot enemies. Focus on damage-enhancing powers, as they provide passive boosts. Certain powers require interaction with Forgotten Altars, found in dungeons at Torment 1+ difficulty or via Draught of Whispers consumption.
Rootholds
New in Season 7, Rootholds are rogue-lite dungeons unlocked by consuming Whispering Woods. These dungeons offer adjustable modifiers for improved loot quality. Save your keys for Torment 1 runs, where Ancestral loot shines brightest.
Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. Slot them into your jewelry for superior stats compared to standard gems. These high-end upgrades demand significant Restless Rot and Heads, obtainable from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives.
Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons
Integrate Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons into your routine. Pits enhance Glyphs, while Nightmare Dungeons yield leveling materials. Farm Infernal Hordes for masterwork resources to boost Uniques.
