Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-ineffective, pets efficiently gather gold and materials, freeing you to focus on combat and loot acquisition.

Recruit Your Mercenaries

Vessel of Hatred expansion owners should visit the Den and recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for additional rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While relatively short, it features 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 Class Power

A convenient change: prior class-specific quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior character login on the Eternal realm). For example, a new Season 7 Rogue benefits from a pre-existing Rogue's completed quests, unlocking class power upon reaching the necessary level.

Headhunt Zone Strategies

Focus on completing Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller, denser zones for efficient 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, or utilize the Raven of the Tree found in each Headhunt zone.

Mastering Witchcraft Powers

Purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Note that certain powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars found in dungeons (regular, Nightmare, Pits, Rootholds at Torment 1) or by using a Draught of Whispers.

Navigating Rootholds

Access Rootholds using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). These rogue-lite dungeons offer negative modifiers impacting loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers influence quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilizing Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems with Gelena (Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots, superior to regular gems. Focus on late-game crafting, considering the high Restless Rot and Head (dropped by Roothold bosses and Fugitives; increased chance with Draught of Whispers) costs.

Mastering Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

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