Acquire Your Pet
Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-inept, your pet efficiently gathers 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 enlist Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for extra rewards.
Conquer the Seasonal Questline
Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces Season 7 mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and new Witch powers. While relatively short, expect some puzzles. Farming Favors in Headhunt zones is the most efficient path to level 60. Simultaneously level up your Witch powers.
Unlock Class Power
A helpful change: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires a prior character login on the Eternal realm). For example, a Season 7 Rogue benefits from a prior Rogue character's completed quests; the class power unlocks upon reaching the required level.
Headhunt Zone Strategies
Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller zones for higher enemy density and faster mob farming. 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 with the Raven of the Tree (spawns 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 upgrades. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or boosted by a Draught of Whispers) offer unique powers.
Navigating Rootholds
Access Rootholds using Whispering Wood (from Whispers and Silent Chests). Similar to Infernal Hordes, Rootholds offer rogue-lite modifiers impacting loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot. Save keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.
Utilizing Occult Gems
Craft Occult Gems (from Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots; they outperform regular gems. These are late-game items, requiring significant Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses, Fugitives; Draught of Whispers increases Head drop chances).
Optimizing Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons
Continue incorporating Pits (for Glyph leveling), Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs), and Infernal Hordes (for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques) into your routine.
