Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, visit the nearest town's Wardrobe to claim your pet. While combat-ineffective, 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 to 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, following 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 includes puzzles and primarily involves farming Favors in Headhunt zones—the optimal path to level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers simultaneously.

Unlock Class Power

Previously completed class-specific priority quests are now automatically unlocked upon logging in with a character from the Eternal realm who has already finished them.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones, prioritizing smaller, denser zones for faster mob farming and Whisper completion. Prioritize these Whisper quests:

• Fugitive Shepherd: Escort animals across the map.
• 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

Purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers 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 higher, or with a Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.

Conquer Rootholds

Access Rootholds (new dungeon type) using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). Similar to Infernal Hordes, activate negative modifiers to enhance loot quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilize Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (superior to regular gems) with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers, using Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Fugitives; increased chances with a Draught of Whispers). Focus on these late-game.

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.
