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 visit the Den to recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat. Cultivate Rapport for additional rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics: Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While 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 concurrently.

Unlock Your Class Power

A convenient update: Prior class-specific 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 quests logged in before starting the new Rogue. Class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller zones for higher enemy density and faster mob farming while completing Whispers. Always prioritize these Whisper quests:

• Fugitive Shepherd: Easily 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. Each Headhunt zone contains a Raven of the Tree for Favor exchange, eliminating the need to teleport.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

The Tree of Whispers' Altars of Witchcraft allow purchasing and upgrading Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained from Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers for passive damage increases. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or boosted by Draughts 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 to enhance loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilize Occult Gems

Gelena at the Tree of Whispers crafts Occult Gems (for jewelry; superior to regular gems). Focus on these late-game; crafting is expensive, requiring Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; Draughts of Whispers increase Head drop chances).

Tackle Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Continue incorporating Pits and Nightmare Dungeons (Glyphs from Nightmare Dungeons; level them up in Pits) and farm Infernal Hordes for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques.
