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.

Recruit Your Mercenaries

Vessel of Hatred expansion owners should head to the Den and enlist Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, significantly easing leveling and combat. Develop Rapport for added rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty. Follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces Season 7 mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors (for the Tree of Whispers), and Witch powers. While short, it features 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 simultaneously.

Unlock Your Class Power

A helpful feature: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior Eternal realm login with that character). For example, a Season 7 Rogue needs a prior Rogue character with completed quests logged in beforehand. Your class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Four 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. Each Headhunt zone contains a Raven of the Tree, allowing Favor exchange without teleporting.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

At the Tree of Whispers, use Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies) to purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers. Powers are inexpensive to buy but costly to upgrade. Prioritize damage upgrades for passive damage boosts. 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.

Explore Rootholds

Rootholds (accessed with Whispering Woods from Whispers and Silent Chests) offer a rogue-lite experience similar to Infernal Hordes. Activate negative modifiers for enhanced loot. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect quantity and quality. Save Roothold 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. Focus on these late-game; they require significant Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; increased chances with a Draught of Whispers).

Tackle Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Incorporate Pits (for Glyph leveling) and Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs) into your routine. Farm Infernal Hordes for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques.
