Diablo 4 Carry Run

Wanderer, the new Diablo 4 season is about to start. Are you ready? For every player, the initial goal of a new season journey is to level up, and although some people don't mind seeing the scenery halfway, the vast majority of people want to reach the level cap as quickly and efficiently as possible so that they can enter the endgame mode they really want to play.

With this in mind, here, we will discuss some tips on leveling in Season 7, especially the overall leveling plan and specific strategies, on how we can optimize them and make them better according to the changes in the new season.

It is worth mentioning that most of the information we have at present comes from D4 Season 7 PTR, which may affect some parts of it, both because of the nature of Public Test Realm and because they have changed the game since the second edition, but they do tell us some new content.

Do You Need To Skip Campaign?

The first big question is whether you skip Vessel of Hatred Campaign, and the answer is very likely. If you skip the dialogue and scenes in the expansion campaign entirely, you can actually finish it and level up in a few hours.

Especially in Season 7, you don’t have to do the campaign because some new changes severely limit the actual benefits of doing so, but Vessel of Hatred Campaign itself is not actually a slow way to level up. So if you want to do Diablo 4 DLC campaign, it’s not a direct fault, but there are better ways, especially ones that overlap more with long-term goals.

Mercenaries

A quick note first, at this point we’re not sure what will happen to Mercenaries in the new season. If you skipped the campaign on both the live servers and PTR, you already have Mercenary unlocked from your main character, of course, provided your main character has already completed the campaign, and Mercenary levels are shared between characters. However, we’re not sure if skipping the campaign will automatically unlock Mercenary in the new season, or if we’ll have to do the quest again.

Regardless, for Mercenaries, I specifically recommend Subo, as he’ll help you find herbs more easily, which will help you keep your Elixirs stocked up to ensure that XP buffs from Elixirs never wear off.

Beyond that, there are more general uses in between, and it’s recommended that you use Varyana and her passive skill, which gives you extra movement speed when you kill things with Massacre Bonus. It’s a perfect open world leveling combo.

Completing Headhunts

Next, let’s look at the mainstay of the new season mechanics, Witch Powers, which are all tied to Tree of Whispers, and the result of that is a new sub-region takeover event called Headhunts.

Among these events will be a whole new and improved set of Whispers of the Dead activities that will offer more rewards, there will be a ton of new monsters in there, and when you complete them, you can repeatedly turn them in for tons of Diablo 4 Gold and XP.

Since this is Whispers of the Dead event, combined with the fact that open world activities don’t scale in difficulty with the player’s level, we’re guessing the more people you interact with, the more efficient your leveling will be.

What’s more, the developers have said that they will reduce the density of monsters and elites in Headhunts areas in the last patch made between PTR and release, so this means that the fastest way to level up is expected to be in these Headhunts areas unless they completely eliminate the monster density in them.

So let’s continue to assume that they won’t completely destroy the monster density in Headhunts and make it our main activity. Players will complete Whispers in Headhunts areas, however, it will eventually spawn a boss around the main tree of the area.

If your goal is just pure pursuit of leveling speed efficiency, I would say that you should never kill the boss. Honestly, most leveling builds in Diablo 4 don’t focus on bosses or single target damage, so it makes sense to stick to your strengths and keep doing Whispers. If you run out of Whispers in an area, just move on to another Headhunts area.

Season Questlines

It is well known that the best way to level up in Diablo 4 is to interact with the season questlines themselves, and Season 7 is no exception, especially since this season will be directly tied into Coven’s Favor Reputation.

This is the new Reputation system for Season 7, and it unlocks things for you, like more parts of the questline, and Witch Powers that you can’t get from anywhere else. So, combined with the actual reward boxes from Whispers of the Dead Caches, this has the potential to give you some really nice power upgrades when you level up, speeding up your leveling process.

Rootholds Dungeon

Also of note are the new Rootholds mini-dungeon activities, which let you get Sigils from Silent Chests and Whispers Caches. What’s more, they’re highly intensive activities, so they’re completed very quickly compared to regular dungeons, and they have decent rewards, too.

The only downside is that there’s always a boss at the end of a Roothold, so whether or not you do this when leveling up depends on your single target damage. If your single target damage isn’t good, the general Whispers in Headhunts area will be more effective, but if single target damage is good, then you can do whatever Rootholds you encounter when you run into them.

Choosing Difficulty Tiers

The next big question is how to choose your Difficulty Tiers, how difficult these activities should be when you do them.

This is a pretty easy problem to solve, just do it and don’t try to prove anything to someone. Start with Normal Difficulty, get to level 15 or so, then if you’re only half as fast on Hard Mode as you are on Normal, then maybe you can try to bump it up to Hard Mode, because the extra gold and XP from running on Hard Mode is worth it. But if it takes twice as long to kill monsters, then it’s not worth it.

So if you want to increase your leveling efficiency by increasing Difficulty Tier, the most important thing is to keep up the speed. This is an efficiency game, so only do it when your build and gear are good enough, no matter how good you think it is subjectively.

Using Elixirs

It is well known that Elixirs give you 5% extra experience as long as they are activated. These Elixirs are easy to make early on, especially the high-level Elixirs, which give you 8% extra experience once you can start making and using them. Of course, this number itself is not high, but every little bit counts, and if you activate them 100% of the time, then it will definitely accumulate.

Season Journey

Meanwhile, Season Journey itself is also a consideration. Based on information leaked by the developers, we’ve learned that our early-game quests should be more effectively aligned with the efficient leveling activities of the first few chapters of Season Journey. This means that if we’re lucky enough, it will directly align with what we’re already doing and give us some nice little power boosts when we open those reward caches.

Season Blessings

The last thing to talk about is season boosts, which you can unlock with Smoldering Ashes after reaching them on the free track of Season 7 Battle Pass. The one consistent function they have always had is to get Boost XP buffs by killing monsters. So if you only care about leveling speed, this is also where you want to stick with the first four Smoldering Ashes.

Outro

In short, these methods should allow you to level up to level 60 easily and quickly. Of course, we still need to pay attention to the new seasonal activities, interact with them, and enjoy the new content they add in Season 7, and the new things they provide also happen to be a very effective way to level up. If you want to better welcome the new content that is coming, then you can pay attention to the giveaways that are often launched in IGGM Discord. Here is your chance to get free D4 products and help you conquer the Sanctuary! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the new season!

Diablo 4 Season 7 will soon replace Season 6 and meet with players. Season 7 will be officially launched on January 21, 2025. The theme of this season is Witch Power. Players can obtain 4 different schools of Witch Power by increasing the reputation level of Coven.

There are 20 levels of Coven reputation in total. When you open these reputation chests, you can get a variety of equipment, gold, unique items, materials, potions, etc. At the same time as Season 7 is launched, Diablo 4 Season 7 battle pass will also be launched. Unlike the reputation reward chests of Coven, Season of Witchcraft battle pass will have a total of 90 rewards for players to unlock.

Season 7

Season 6 have lasted for a long time. Season of Hatred Rising brings a new class, Spiritborn, to players. This class is very powerful. Apart from the bugs of this class, it is also one of the best classes. At the same time, have you unlocked the rewards of Season 6 battle pass? The armory in Season 6 battle pass is really cool.

Of course, the armor in Season 7 battle pass is also very cool. Compared with the blue armor in Season 6, the armors in Season 7 equipments are dark and mysterious. This matches the theme of Season 7, Season of Witchcraft.

The story on Season 7 is a continuation of season story. Players need to get a task from Witches of Hawezar faction to find the heads stolen by Tree of Whispers. These stolen heads will wander around Sanctuary, looking for a suitable body. Players and Hawezar witch faction are mutually beneficial. Players protect Sanctuary as wanderers, and Hawezar Witch faction teaches players Witch Powers.

Battle Pass

Battle pass has a total of 90 unlockable rewards, 28 of which are free and can be unlocked by all players. Battle pass provides players with resources such as Diablo 4 gold, materials, and buffs. Players who unlock Premium Pass can get all 90 pass rewards.

New appearance transmogrifications and mounts are available in Premium Pass, in addition to rewards such as town portal skins, badges, and emotes.

How To Progress Battle Pass?

It is not very difficult to progress to battle pass. Basically, as long as you participate in various activities in Season 7, your progress battle pass will naturally progress.

There are two most direct ways:

• Earn Favor
• Unlock Tiers

Favor is an item that players will get in the normal game. Giving it to Tree of Whispers will bring players a reward, including materials for making Occult Gems. When players gain Favor, your battle pass will progress.

There are two ways to get Favor:

• Complete dungeons, kill monsters, and participate in headhunts.
• Achieve Season Journey Objectives.

Unlock Tiers

• You can upgrade your pass to an accelerated battle pass.
• Use the last 200 Platinum to jump Tiers.

The biggest prize of the battle pass in Season of Witchcraft is undoubtedly a full set of armor. The name of this set of armor is Grand High Witch Armor. This set of armor looks like an iron statue, and its theme is snake. When players wear this set of armor, they will look like an important member of the coven.

At the same time, players who only have free passes can also get good rewards:

• Black Masquerade set includes five weapon transmogs
• A set of roleplaying armor with a dress ball theme
• A new title

However, players with advanced passes can naturally get more. They have two additional sets of suits and can also get two mounts Wightscale and Nightwinder. The basic colors of these two horses are one black and one white, and their bodies are covered with snake scales, which is very cool. For some players who like mounts, these two mounts may be better than Grand High Witch Armor.

The above is the general content of Diablo 4 Season 7 battle pass. As always, the developers have brought a lot of cool things to the players. Whether it is Witch Armors or the new mounts, they are very attractive. They fit the theme of this season very well. 90 pass rewards sound like a lot, but for players, the more pass rewards, the better!
