Diablo 4: The Best Route To Farm XP Early In Season 1! - Fastest 1-50 Solo Leveling Guide

Are you still playing Diablo after the patches, nerfs, and not-so-great developer Campfire Chat? Today, we're going to detail the best XP paths currently available in Diablo 4 and the best way to break down quick solo levels 1-50. There are also some tips on how we deal with speed bumps during early World Tier 3 and 4 upgrades.

The goal of this method is to get you high mob density while killing elites. Also, maximize your experience points per run/hour.

Next, let’s start digging deeper. You will start at World Tier 2 if your class or build is great. Here are 3 activities you need to focus on in order of importance:

• Malignant Tunnels
• Dungeons Marked by Tree of Whispers
• Stronghold Reset

Malignant Tunnels

First, for Malignant Tunnels, the whole running process is relatively short, little back tracking. And it has high mob density, which makes our Diablo 4 Gold and XP farming efficient. You can ignore the extra rooms and paths, just complete Hit Tunnel and reset the dungeon on the map to complete the run.

So XP farming efficiency rankings for Malignant Tunnels are as follows:

• Onyx Watchtower = 1.23M XP/hr
• Dindai Hollow = 855k XP/hr
• Ravening Pit = 710XP/hr
• Bedeviled Grotto = 710k XP/hr
• Boiling Wound (Fractured Peaks) = 574k XP/hr
• Den of the Blighted (Hawezar) = 534K XP/hr
• Fissure of Malice = 520k XP/hr

Also note that in order to beat the boss and respawn, it is also worth slowing down XP farming speed appropriately.

Dungeons Marked By Tree Of Whispers

For Dungeons Marked by Tree of Whispers, you’ll collect additional Codex of Power that your character may not have unlocked yet. Plus, you’ll get Diablo 4 Items and experience point rewards from Tree of Whispers in return. Overall, this method is about 20% slower, but worth a shot if you’re looking for a change.

Stronghold Reset

At last, if you want to reset Stronghold, I suggest you do this best after completing Capstone Dungeons and transitioning to World Tier 3.

Stronghold mobs will adapt to being 2 tiers above you, regardless of their baseline level in World Tier 3. It still gives you the 100% XP bonus of World Tier 3. The same is true when you transition to World Tier 4 and enjoy the 200% XP bonus and rank scaling.

According to the comparison, we found that Onyx Watchtower Stronghold is the most efficient XP farming, it can farm 78.5 XP in 3.5 minutes. But if you want to keep things fresh instead of resetting the same quests, rotate the quests you want to complete. Temple of Rot is also another excellent reset option, and I’ll let you decide for yourself which things you like best to do from there.

Nightmare Dungeons

Once you can start doing Sacred and Ancestral Tiers Nightmare Dungeon, you’ll definitely prioritize those. Because they are the gold standard for World Tier 3 and 4 upgrades. Stronghold will help you break through the bottleneck, but the most important thing is still Nightmare Dungeons. Afterwards, I’ll continue with an updated ranking of Nightmare Dungeons from Diablo 4 Season 1 to make up the list of new dungeons we have access to right now.

That’s all for the best routes to XP farming that I found early in Diablo 4 Season 1, and the best way to help us solo levels 1-50 fast. Hope this guide can help you complete the quick upgrade in Season 1 and have a better start.
