News Tag: Diablo 4 Gold

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.

If you want to get more Diablo 4 items in the game, you can enter IGGM Discord, which often provides some giveaways.

Battle Pass Rewards

Normal battle pass (28 Tiers in total):

• 20 Smoldering Ashes
• 1 Mount Trophy
• 1 Title
• 1 Town Portal
• 6 Armor Basics
• 5 Weapon Transmogs

Premium battle pass (90 Tiers in total):

• Free battle pass rewards
• 12 Armor Transmogs
• 19 Weapon Transmogs
• 5 Emotes (for, Necromance, Barbarian, Rogue, Druid, and Sorcerer)
• 2 Mounts
• 5 Mount Trophies
• 2 Mount Armors
• 2 Titles
• 700 Platinum (across 11 tiers)
• 2 Town Portals
• 3 Emblems
• 4 Headstones

Accelerated battle pass rewards:

• Premium battle pass rewards
• 20 Tier Skips
• 1 Emote (for all classes)

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
• Special visual effects for the town portal
• Some Smoldering Ashes of Season Bless

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!

As Season of Hatred Rising draws to a close, it’s time to unveil Diablo 4 Season 7. As all Diablo fans know, the new season revolves around Witch Powers, so you might be wondering what the storyline is like in Season 7 and how the season mechanics work in the new season. Don’t worry, you’ll have all of these questions answered here!

Storyline

In Season of Witchcraft, Tree of Whispers is missing some heads. This is a big deal, and our mission is to discover who stole the heads and why.

As the storyline progresses, you’ll work with The Coven. In return for your help, they’ll grant you powers of your own, which you can then use in Season of Witchcraft.

If you’re a new player who’s just gotten interested in Season 7 and is just getting into the game, you may not know that Tree of Whispers is an ancient tree with heads. All players can come to the tree itself for help, but it will ask you to provide it with something in return, maybe a bunch of Diablo 4 gold, maybe a top-tier item. Who knows? It is well known that no one can get away with trading with Tree of Whispers  - until now.

So who exactly released these heads from Tree of Whispers? And what are the escaped heads trying to accomplish after being freed from the tree?

In fact, these stolen heads are scattered all over Sanctuary, causing chaos and spreading strange rot, taking over the bodies of living people. Headrotten occurs when the heads in the tree try to graft themselves into already living creatures to take back life. And your task is to hunt down the renegade heads in Tree of Whispers before they further spread madness to the creatures of Sanctuary.

Witch Powers

During Season of Witchcraft, you will work with different witches to help solve the mystery of the missing heads. Hawezar Witches are a coven of witches who choose to serve Tree of Whispers in exchange for its power.

At this time, hatred is spreading throughout Sanctuary, and it has launched its first successful attack on Tree of Whispers. While the tree still stands on the surface, it is definitely broken from the inside. You will work with the coven of witches and strengthen their powers to deal with the approaching threats to finally solve the mystery.

In return for your help, the witches will offer you their Witch Powers. And in this season, you will be able to utilize four major categories of Witch Powers.

Eldritch Powers

Ouna has Eldritch Powers, which are closely related to the cycle of life and death. Eldritch Powers are forms of damage that witches deal directly to enemies in the form of Fire damage, Burning damage, Shadow damage.

Psyche Powers

Gelena has Psyche Powers, which are defensive and debuff abilities that manipulate the mind and spirit. A portion of the damage you take will be shared with the linked target as physical damage, and they protect you in combat.

Growth & Decay Powers

As Caidin is used to dealing with disease and familiars, he has access to Growth & Decay Powers, which decay your enemies and heal you in combat. For example, if you choose to use a Fire Sorcerer build, and decide to have Exploding Frogs help you in some way. Then this power is something you absolutely cannot miss. It allows you to gain new powers and optimize your build in a unique way.

Lost Witch Powers

During the adventure, you can also find Lost Witch Powers. This is a special Witch Power that exists outside the scope of traditional Witch Powers.

As players progress through the storyline and complete Whisper objectives, they will earn seasonal currency. Unlike the traditional Diablo 4 Gold, this seasonal currency can only be used to obtain Witch Powers, as well as upgrade your Witch Powers.

Let’s take Eldritch Powers as an example, which features an ominous orb of pure Eldritch energy, Doom Orb, that surrounds you and burns enemies with fire damage. Doom Orbs become more powerful as you level them up and kill enemies, and eventually explode. Doom Orbs will fire at enemies even if there are no enemies nearby.

Witch Doctor Elements Returns

There are indeed some fan-favorite characters returning in Season of Witchcraft. Players who love Diablo series will remember some of these powers from D3, especially Witch Doctor.

And Firebats will return from Diablo 3. People who played Witch Doctor also remember Hex Skill, Toad of Hugeness. However, it was redesigned in Season 7 as Poison Frog Servant. Imagine a murderous pet frog that will follow you through Sanctuary, which is really weird.

Of all Witch Powers, though, players may be most excited about Piranhado. This is actually a water cyclone with piranhas in it that will tear your enemies to pieces.

Headhunts

However, to fully experience Witch Powers, players need to unlock and upgrade their various powers by performing Headhunts.

As the game progresses, Tree of Whispers have detected Fugitive Head. When they interact with other monsters in Sanctuary world, they will horribly corrupt that monster into a new headless form. In worse cases, they will attach themselves to the monster and turn into a new Boss-like entity. They have more humanoid features, but are much more powerful. These will be new encounters that you have never seen before.

When you perform various Whispers in the area, if you can see Briars on the map, this will indicate that there is a Headrotten there. If you successfully knock out one of Headrotten and obtain a Fugitive Head, you can return it to the witches, which will give you a special seasonal slot as a reward.

Whisper Objectives & Coven Reputation

In addition to this, there will be new Whisper objectives for the new season. You may have the opportunity to help a Bewitched Frog, or there may be a Lost Wisp that needs to find its way home. As you engage these Whispers, you will earn Reputation with the witches, as well as seasonal currency that you can use to unlock and upgrade Witch Powers.

Armory System Features

This time, Diablo 4 developers finally paid attention to player feedback, and they added a long-reflected feature in Season 7, Armory System. When you save a build in Armory, it will take a snapshot of everything currently on your character, including Skill Tree, Paragon Boards, Glyphs, and all your equipment.

Players will be able to access Armory UI from any major city, which means you will be able to pursue multiple different builds on a class at the same time. This can be very cool when upgrading, especially when entering the later stages of the game. If you want to enrich your Armory in the new season and provide more diverse options for your build, then keep an eye on the giveaways in the IGGM discord, where if you are lucky enough, you may be able to get what you need!

In short, the arrival of Diablo 4 Season 7 not only brings a series of new content to players, but more importantly, the update and return of some special features also make this new season more interesting. In any case, let us look forward to whether S7 can help Diablo 4 maintain its position as the top MMO game!

It’s been more than a year since the initial release of Diablo 4, but you’ll find that the series still occupies a relatively top position in the ARPG market, with many enthusiastic fans. On this basis, with the end of the sixth season, the seventh season will officially arrive in late January this year.

As the latest series of Diablo, Diablo 4 adopts a similar approach to the basic series in setting up the season mechanism, always focusing on resources, bosses and gear, and sometimes adding new season-limited events in the new season, so that you can experience the fun of farming new limited event items while accumulating Diablo 4 Gold.

Among all Diablo 4 content that may be updated with the season, unique items are a relatively important one. They are always presented to you as clothing, armor, or weapons, and will provide you with extraordinary combat benefits after you equip them.

In the upcoming Season 7, besides those inherent unique items, some new ones are expected to be added. Based on this, we will introduce these new unique items to you and ways to obtain them.

Overview Of Diablo 4 Season 7

According to the released news, this season should be named Season of Witchcraft and will be officially launched at 10 am Pacific Standard Time on January 21, 2025 after the end of Season 6. In addition, like all previous Diablo 4 seasons, Season 7 should last for about three months, during which you need to create a new character on the corresponding server to access the limited-time content of Season 7.

As its name suggests, the biggest feature of this season is 24 witchcraft powers divided into variant types, which you can use to deal with bosses in Season 7. However, it should be noted that although the witchcraft power of Season 7 cannot be transferred to other servers, you can always unlock the available cosmetics, pets or other types of rewards on your account.

Another new change in Season 7 that is worth paying attention to is the addition of Armory. This mechanism will allow you to save your character’s builds, allowing you to see which of them is the most powerful or interesting, and switch between different builds to try without changing everything.

In addition to the above, the new content of Season 7 also includes other quality of life updates, changes to larger affixes and class tasks, and new unique items that we will highlight for you next.

What New Unique Items Will Season 7 Have?

According to the information previously revealed by the game developers in the campfire chat, Season 7 will ensure that each Diablo 4 class will get at least one new unique item, and some professions will even get two. The specific types of these new unique items may include armor, amulets, staves and catalysts, including the following:

• Druid: Malefic Crescent
• Rogue: Assassin’s Stride
• Spiritborn: Sustained War-Crozier
• Barbarian: Mantle of the Mountain’s Fury
• Sorcerer: Strike of Stormhorn and Okun’s Catalyst
• Necromancer: Indira’s Memory and Kessime’s Legacy

As a classic melee class, Barbarian will get Mantle of Mountain’s Fury, a new ancestral unique chest armor that can cause 50% Hammer of the Ancients after Barbarian launches an earthquake. The new unique ancestral amulet for Druid can increase all elemental resistance by 25%, effectively improving your defense-if you play Druid.

In addition, Necromancer’s two new unique items need to be used with Blood Wave, Rogue’s new item is a pair of boots that can increase its movement skill by 100% in 2 seconds, and Sorcerer has obtained 2 items that can enhance its Ball of Lightning. The newly introduced class Spiritborn in DLC will get a unique long staff that increases the blocking chance by 40%.

How To Get New Unique Items?

Since Season 7 has not yet been officially launched, the most accurate method of obtaining new unique items is not very clear, but you can use the unique item acquisition method of the old season as a reference to prepare in advance. After all, except for possible new season-limited events or dungeons, other methods of obtaining unique items are always unchanged in some seasons.

Purveyor Of Curiosities

Before Season 6, Purveyor of Curiosities usually only gave you magic and rare gear that was completely useless in the endgame, but now they can not only drop legendary items faster but also have a chance to drop unique items for you.

While this method is great, it requires that you always have enough Obol, so it is recommended that you focus on grinding Diablo 4 Artificer’s Pit, where you can even upgrade glyphs and obtain legendary items.

Participate In Special Seasonal Events

Almost every Diablo 4 season will launch a new limited event, and participating in these events will give you a chance to get some rewards after the end, which may include new unique items.

Farm Nightmare Dungeons

Nightmare dungeons mechanism should still exist in Season 7, so it is recommended that you farm high-level Nightmare Dungeons above level 40 to obtain legendary items, because these dungeons will have many enemies to fight, and the probability of dropping items will naturally be higher.

Defeat New Bosses

Season 7 is expected to add some new special bosses. Since unique items are relatively precious Diablo 4 items, some of them will most likely only be available to you through boss loot.

In addition, if you want to accumulate as much gold as possible before Season 7 officially starts, so that you can gain a small advantage at the beginning of the season and get the above new unique items faster, then maybe you can try to participate in the relevant giveaway events held from time to time in IGGM Discord. Good luck!

As the release of Diablo 4 Season 7 approaches, the developers have released another pre-season patch, which adds some groundbreaking game content - ADS (Adaptive Difficulty Scaling) and AR (Augmented Reality). These two innovative technologies have greatly changed the gameplay of Diablo 4, which has been criticized by players and requires constant experience and may subvert previous game concepts.

After the release of this patch, many Diablo 4 players are more excited and looking forward to the arrival of Season 7. However, since the official patch notes may be a little obscure, in this guide we will integrate the roles of these two cutting-edge technologies in the game based on the existing information and what kind of help they will bring to players.

About ADS

First, let’s take a look at ADS, the full name of which is Adaptive Difficulty Scaling. It will use a very advanced machine learning algorithm to adjust the game difficulty dynamically according to the player’s personal skill level and game style. Therefore, this personalized gameplay setting allows both new players who are new to action role-playing games and veteran players who are familiar with the entire game process to get a balanced gaming experience.

In addition, unlike traditional leveling systems, Diablo 4 with ADS can track player performance in Season 7 and modify enemy strength, loot drop rate, and even the difficulty of mission challenges. For example, if your current level is low, the strength of the enemies you need to kill when exploring a certain area may also decrease, and the amount of Diablo 4 Gold you get from it may increase, so that you can use it to enhance your build.

In this case, your exploration in this game will always be attractive to you, and you may even feel that you can break through some limits within your controllable ability. Most importantly, with the blessing of this technology, you will no longer experience those tedious farming and grinding processes.

However, the addition of this ADS function to the game may confuse players who are used to grinding, because the potential unpredictable difficulty adjustment will make these players overturn the builds and methods used in previous seasons, and re-establish a complete gameplay strategy, which may be a huge challenge.

In addition, players need to learn some curved gameplay dynamics under this function to adapt to the non-static game difficulty and enemy strength in Season 7. In this case, just keep the attack and defense balance in your build, so your build should have a balanced state of many attributes and statistics. Some element types you focus on can be strengthened by some specialized Diablo 4 Items.

About AR

The ADS function just introduced is the impact on the gameplay and mechanism in Diablo 4, while AR (full name is Augmented Reality) is a function that has a significant impact on the entire game screen and played experience. In this new technology, players are allowed to use their mobile devices to scan the surrounding environment and superimpose game elements on the real world environment.

It blends the traditional role-playing experience with the latest augmented reality technology to create a game that seamlessly mixes the virtual and real world. This is also a change in the way players experience the dark fantasy world in Sanctuary that they want to achieve.

Although this feature did not appear in the previous Season 7 PTR, and not many players have experienced this feature yet, you can imagine that you bring the demon battle you need to complete in Sanctuary into your living room or a large open space, where you will have a very immersive exploration.

Most importantly, this breaks the prejudice that many people have about playing games and hurting the body. AR will support you to leave the computer desk and replace sitting for a long time with some interactive sports, which greatly increases your sense of fun in exploration. What’s more, this feature redefines the narrative process and experience of traditional MMO games, turning mundane everyday scenes into special in-game experiences.

Of course, in addition to the visual effects in Diablo 4, AR feature will also be combined with spatial audio to provide 360-degree soundscapes that adapt to different real-world settings, making each AR session unique and extremely interesting.

Like ADS feature, AR also has some drawbacks. First, not all mobile devices support all advanced AR features, and the quality of the AR experience may also vary depending on the environment and hardware specifications, which may limit access for some players.

However, according to current market feedback, AR technology is becoming more and more mainstream and is used more and more frequently in such games, so it is possible that in the near future, most players will use mobile devices that support AR technology to explore Diablo 4.

The above are some changes that may occur in the gameplay and game experience of Diablo 4 Season 7 according to the patch released some time ago. In fact, the addition of these two new features shows that in the future, games are not only about playing games but also about experiencing games. Every request made by players will indirectly affect the game world. More importantly, developers can carefully extract players’ feedback on game content.

Here, I would like to remind you that before starting the exploration of Season 7, you may need to ensure that your game product inventory is sufficient for your character to explore smoothly and easily at the beginning of the season. If you lack necessary products such as gold or items, you can get free products in the giveaway channel in IGGM Discord, which will make your exploration experience better.

Diablo 4, which is loved by many players, will enter its seventh season on January 21st, with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. It has added a lot of new game content, including but not limited to the addition of Witchcraft powers, a new game reputation system, and a new zone event called Headhunts that will be introduced in this guide.

In this new game event, you may experience a completely different combat experience and functions from previous seasons. Here, we will give you a detailed introduction to these Headhunts and the new game content based on the information currently released, so that you can explore it after the season is released.

About Headhunts

Headhunts in Season 7 are similar to Helltides in previous seasons, so like this type of event, Tree of Whispers will periodically activate it in random areas of Sanctuary. After activation, several types of specific events will be provided in these areas, and each event will provide you with Grim Favors.

You can think of Headhunts as similar to Helltides, where you have to fight bosses like Restless Rot, defeat specific enemies in specific areas, and patrol areas with NPCs. In most cases, you can complete the specific events in one go if your build is strong enough.

Headrotten

Headrotten is also a new addition to Sanctuary, and there are several variants of enemies. After you defeat these very scary monsters, you will be rewarded with Restless Rot, which is an important crafting material for Season 7’s new gear Occult Gems, as well as a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold.

Completing Whispers in Headhunt will spawn numerous Exposed Roots, and there is a certain chance to get Uprooted Cocoon, which can spawn some Headless Husks. These Husks have a chance to be possessed by Fugitive Head, so you need to defeat these very complex monsters one by one in Headrotten.

It’s important to note that exploring Headrotten at higher difficulty levels and using the new Draught of Whispers will increase your chances of encountering those Husks, so if you want to farm gear and Diablo 4 Gold in it, you can do it in Torment IV.

After you defeat Elites, you can pick up Fugitive Head, which you can use with Restless Rot and Gem Fragments to craft Occult Gems at Tree of Whispers. Of course, as Diablo 4 items, these new gems will also have Magic, Rare, and Legendary differences, and the characteristics and effects they can provide to build are also different.

Headhunt Whispers

You can find a variety of Whisper activities and objectives in Headhunt, which is the most effective way to gain The Coven Reputation in Season 7. Some tasks only take a minute or two to complete.

Although some activities can be a bit tedious, it's fun to just look at them as a way to farm reputation. Here are the names of the specific Whispers activities and the tasks you need to complete in them.

• Dispel: Kill enemies standing in a large purple void zone. However, it should be noted that enemies will continue to spawn in this zone, and you need to defeat a steady stream of enemies until runs out.
• Fugitive: Defeat a Headless Husk in any area where Headhunt is activated.
• Patrol: Defeat enemies in the circular boundary of the patrolling guard, which can be found by the shield icon on the minimap.
• Purge the Rot: Kill any Headrotten enemies while Headhunt is active.
• Scour: Search for a specified number of herbs in a specified area. The advice here is to collect as many herbs as possible, because you will also need them in high quantities in combat.
• Seek: Talk to ghostly frogs and follow them for a distance. Your focus is not on these frogs, but on the Headrotten that will appear at any time and kill them.
• Shepherd: Enter the boundary around wild animals and accompany them to the safety zone.
• Wisps: This is the hardest of the entire activity. You need to destroy Exposed Root and follow Wisps that just spawned, but stay within its boundaries. During this time, you also need to kill a group of Headrotten. This process will repeat several times until Wisps’ health is fully restored.
• Slay: Kill designated Elite enemies in Headhunt zone.

About Silent Rootholds

In fact, Silent Rootholds is very similar to Hellbreaches, Nightmare Dungeons, and Infernal Hordes, which are short-lived seasonal dungeons. The information currently known is that some familiar mechanics may appear in it, such as the need to use Whispering Woods before exploring, which is very similar to Nightmare Dungeon Sigils in previous seasons.

Once you enter Silent Roothold, you may encounter Rites, Rituals, and Ceremonies, which are actually very similar to Boons and Banes in Infernal Hordes in Season 5, increasing the rewards you get from exploring, such as Diablo 4 Gold and loot, but the difficulty will be greatly increased. Here are some examples for you to use as a reference.

• Rite of Engorged Hearts: Increases the health of Root-spawned enemies by 20%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section.
• Rite of Hubris: Increases the damage of Root-spawned Bosses and Elites by 50%, and adds an Exposed Roots spawn in the next section.
• Ritual of Aching Thirst: The cooldown of potions you use in this mechanic is increased by 3 seconds, but Roots now grant you a Minor Reward.
• Ritual of Futility: Root-spawned Bosses and Elites in this mechanic have a chance to become Unstoppable, but grant you a Minor Reward.
• Ritual of Rust and Rain: All your resistances in this mechanic are reduced by 20%, but the rewards you receive from Roots are increased by one.
• Ritual of Shackles: Your dodge cooldown is increased by 3 seconds, but also grants you a Minor Reward.

These are some mechanics you can currently encounter in Silent Rootholds, but it should be noted that there are many criteria for completing this dungeon, such as performing two 2 Rites, removing Exposed Roots, or defeating a boss, etc. You can choose the mechanics you want to challenge after the new season is released, although they will sometimes appear repeatedly.

The above are some details about Headhunts in the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7. In this new season, you may get a completely different gaming experience in the new game content, but before exploring, if your gold inventory is insufficient, you can participate in the frequent giveaways in IGGM Discord, so that you can get a step ahead at the beginning of the season and get the strongest build. I wish you a happy game!

Although Diablo 4 has not yet released a specific release date for Season 7, according to the 2.1 PTR and other related content, you should already know that Season 7 will add witchcraft power as the main mechanism and new content of the season, and use it to establish the Witch-centric season theme.

In order to ensure that the new witchcraft power can fully realize its potential, Diablo 4 may actually refer to some mechanisms that have appeared in past seasons, such as vampire power in Season 2. But if witchcraft power wants to revitalize Diablo 4 in 2025 through Season 7, it is necessary to go beyond the mechanism design of vampire power besides reference.

On the one hand, the upgrade of available power will make it easier for you to carry out Diablo 4 Gold farming in Season 7; on the other hand, as a new mechanism for the new season, if witchcraft power can surpass vampire power based on vampire power, it will undoubtedly indicate that Diablo 4 series has made actual progress.

Based on this, we will introduce you to some relevant information and methods.

What Is Vampire Power?

As the core content of Diablo 4 Season 2, vampire power can give your game character various additional skills and effects. As long as you pick up the special Pact Armor that randomly drops around Sanctuary, you can unlock these benefits.

After that, no matter what class you play, you can also continue to collect a rare resource to upgrade these newly acquired powers, allowing you to use the darkest magic. It is worth mentioning that Blood of Lilith allows you to have these supernatural abilities without turning into a vampire.

In fact, after a rather confusing and boring first season, Diablo 4 succeeded with the excellent theme of vampires and their blood-sucking abilities in Season 2. Season 2 tells you the main story of wanderers infected by the vampire curse, but your character will not suffer from it. Instead, you can embark on a mission to eliminate the vampires facing Sanctuary after inheriting cool vampire powers.

If you’ve played Season 2, you’ll find that not only can you kill hordes of enemies with these exciting new missions, but you can also use the vampire’s own power against them. This mechanic was so popular with players that it not only continued into Season 3, but was even added to Eternal Realm.

What Is Witchcraft Power?

According to some of the information currently known, it is expected that you will experience 24 different witchcraft powers in Diablo 4 Season 7, and these 24 powers can be further divided into four schools: Eldritch, Growth & Decay, Psyche, and Lost. Each school has a unique power, and the rest are ordinary powers.

In battle, you can carry up to 6 witchcraft powers at a time, and they will bring you different combat benefits, such as enhancing your inherent attributes or allowing you to cause more damage to the enemy. In addition, in certain specific situations, you can continue to enhance the witchcraft power you have, such as after your Poison Frog Servant reaches level 5, you can get Poison Frog to taunt the enemy.

What Can Witchcraft Power Learn From Vampire Power?

From the above, you will find that witchcraft powers in Season 7 are similar to vampire powers in Season 2 especially if you have already experienced witchcraft powers in the 2.1 PTR, you will be more looking forward to using them in Season 7.

In Season 2, the effects of vampire powers are divided into two categories: minor and major, and are related to the level of a single power. Most minor powers require 1-3 Pacts to use, while major powers require 6 different types of Pacts.

Based on this, you will find that the effect of classification of these vampire powers is similar to the genre classification of witchcraft powers. The difference is that the use of witchcraft powers does not require you to consume any props, but requires you to obtain seasonal reputation by farming altars in dungeons to unlock more.

There is no doubt that witchcraft powers refer to vampire powers in terms of basic mechanism design, and through more detailed classification and upgrades, it is hoped that you can provide you with new ways of fighting in the new season. But besides this, the use of witchcraft power is more efficient and simplified based on vampire power, which will allow you to win more quickly in battle.

How To Surpass Vampire Power?

Previously, many Diablo 4 players believed that if the game character can use multiple seasonal skills at the same time in a single season, it will definitely gain unusually powerful abilities. For example, if Vampire Powers and Seneschal Companion can be combined, it will definitely make your Diablo 4 combat experience a step further.

However, on the other hand, this combination may occupy too many special tabs on the inventory screen, causing you some trouble. So if you want to use some combination in Season 7 to make witchcraft power work better than vampire power, Diablo 4 can try to choose an old season feature from Eternal Realm in the new season, so that you can integrate it with witchcraft power in your build.

Since there will be many witchcraft powers in the game, you can choose some of them according to your needs - of course, this is based on the premise that Diablo 4 Season 7 will launch a similar mechanism.

Regardless of whether the witchcraft power in Season 7 can play a different effect from other seasonal powers in the past, it will definitely help you farm Diablo 4 Gold. However, if you want to get more gold coins, the giveaway event in IGGM Discord should be able to help you. Wish you good luck!

In the past 2024, Diablo 4’s performance can be said to be very impressive, such as providing players with 4 seasons of different game content (Season 3 - Season 6), releasing the game’s first expansion, Vessel of Hatred DLC, and various improvements in the game’s quality of life and mechanics.

Of course, these outstanding achievements are presented to all players by the developers. Is this really the case? Unfortunately, in the summer of 2024, Diablo 4’s daily active players gradually decreased due to the impact of Elden Ring’s new expansion Shadow of the Erdtree. In the past December, because of the release of Path of Exile 2 Early Access, many D4 players have flowed to this game with plenty of gimmicks.

So in the current 2025, is Diablo 4, a game that has been released for a year and a half, still worth exploring for players? In fact, there is no definite conclusion to this question, because it is uncertain what changes will happen to D4 or other games in 2025, and every player will definitely have an answer of their own. Here we will dialectically look at whether the game Diablo 4 is worth continuing to spend time and energy to play in the new year based on the needs of different groups of people.

For Diablo 4 Enthusiasts

For players who only love the excitement and crazy exploration experience brought by Diablo 4, 2025 is definitely a year worth continuing the exploration journey. First of all, in the first month of the year, January 21, Season 7 will be released. In this new season, you will feel that a new power called Witch Powers has been added to the game, which will make the complete game shrouded in a more mysterious color.

Players familiar with this game must know that this is the tradition of Diablo 4. In each new season, players will be brought a system or mechanism that will make earth-shaking changes to the game content. For example, last season, Spiritborn that can use various animal spirits was added, which made a huge change in the build level in the game - Spiritborn build became the darling of players.

Although Roadmap of Diablo 4 in 2025 has not been officially announced at this stage, under the condition that the developers carefully listen to the suggestions and feedback of players, its performance in 2025 will definitely not be too bad, and it can even attract more players with different skill levels to join it. So as a loyal fan of D4, are you looking forward to seeing more new players in the game?

It is also worth explaining to you that in your future explorations, you can get more game products, such as items or gold, through the gift channel in IGGM Discord, which will make your exploration in future seasons easier and more enjoyable.

As Passerby Players

For those players who often hang out in various MMORPGs, it is a bit unworthy to spend a lot of time and energy on Diablo 4. First, under the impact of many similar games, the number of daily active players of Diablo 4 is gradually decreasing, which makes it impossible for you to find enough teammates when you are exploring in a party form.

Although Diablo 4 provides a lot of tolerance for some single-player exploration players, some late-game bosses or campaigns are very difficult to pass if explored alone, and even require nearly dozens of hours on them. This is very disadvantageous for players who have other game options, because they will directly give up this difficult grinding and turn to more interesting and simple activities in other games.

More importantly, with the change of seasons, it takes more time and effort to obtain a large amount of Diablo 4 Gold in the game, and the demand for Gold in the game has also increased greatly, which will make players often feel that they can’t make ends meet and then give up the game.

Speaking of spending, the overall cost of Diablo 4 is also much higher than similar games. First, the basic game requires you to spend $49.99. If you want to experience the game content in the new expansion, you have to spend $69.99 to get Vessel of Hatred expansion. For the same type of Last Epoch, you only need $34.99 to explore the basic game, and even Ultimate Edition only costs you $64.99. In this case, I believe that some passers-by players will be more willing to choose a more cost-effective game to play.

Although Supporter Pack in Path of Exile 2 Early Access currently costs you $29.99 to get, given the grand storyline and more worthy game mechanics in this game, more passers-by players are more willing to explore it. Not only that, its original work, which was released nearly ten years ago, has always maintained an excellent reputation among many players, and the equally highly anticipated POE 3.26 is also expected to be released in February 2025. Under the impact of these two games, Diablo 4 may have even less market share, and fewer and fewer players will explore it.

In addition, Elden Ring, which caused the initial impact on D4 last summer, will also launch a derivative game in 2025 called Elden Ring Nightreign, which will support players to play couch Co-Op, which is one feature that Diablo 4 players have always dreamed of. The announcement of this derivative game may cause D4, a game that is used to being self-contained, to be severely affected again.

In general, if you are a player who has only explored Diablo 4, you can look forward to what new surprises the developers will bring you in 2025. But for those players who are just watching the fun, this game is not worth spending too much time and energy on, because there really won’t be any new moves. You can focus on new similar games or new expansions or sequels of some old games. I wish you a happy gaming journey in 2025!

According to the current news released by the developers, the seventh season of Diablo 4 will meet with players on January 21, 2025. Some time ago, the PTR for this new season officially ended, and many players were fortunate to participate in it and put forward their own feedback for the improvement of the game.

Among the new game content in Season 7, the most worth introducing is that there may be a Class using Witchcraft Powers added to the game, which may bring more and better game experience and more build possibilities to players. In addition, the original Classes have also undergone some changes.

Among them, the biggest change is Spiritborn, which was once a darling of Season 6, but it may be weakened in the new season. However, this guide is not mainly about it, but the controversial Sorcerer and Druid in the last season, both of which have received many disagreements because of their one-sided strength but the lack of the other. Next, let’s take a look at what changes these two Classes will have in the next season!

Sorcerer

Compared to the previous season, the spells cast by Sorcerer in Season 7 can become hotter or colder, and can make players more excited when manipulating it. First of all, in the new season, Sorcerer has two new Uniques - Strike of Stormhorn and Okun’s Catalyst. They bring you a new good friend called Super Ball Lightning, which can spin like a hula hoop full of lightning and cause irresistible lightning damage to the enemy, so that you can stride forward unhindered.

In addition to the new skill Ball Lightning, there is also a new skill called Inferno, which can increase the vulnerability to enemies inside the group of enemies, and the fire skill of Sorcerer has also been greatly enhanced, which is what I just said that this Class has become hotter. For colder, it is because Deep Freeze skill has been changed, and its damage has become stronger and it can provide you with a barrier when you thaw.

There are also a number of changes to Enchantments and Passives, making your builds in Season 7 healthier, faster to clear, and more flexible, making it much easier to get loot and Diablo 4 Gold with your Sorcerer next season, and speeding up your game progress.

Legendary Aspects, which are very important to Sorcerer build, have also undergone some changes, such as Pyro, Frost, and Shock skills, which have multiple functions for generating barriers, helping you increase your movement speed and attack speed, and immobilization, which can give you a better advantage in the challenge of some bosses. Not only that, the Ball Lightning enhancement function just introduced can make you a static destruction field for enemies.

Overall, the poor survivability that was criticized last season may be greatly improved next season. This will be very good news for some players who like to stand in the safe range and use spells to defeat enemies, so that they don’t have to spend a lot of effort on gear that improves defense in their Sorcerer builds and give up damage enhancements.

Druid

Druid is getting some love from the developers in the next season, which is reflected in the addition of Uniques and some skill improvements. First, the most noteworthy Unique is Malefic Crescent Amulet, which can greatly increase the critical damage and movement speed of a Druid in werewolf form, and the level of Feral Aptitude has also been increased. On top of that, the damage of Lupine Ferocity on consecutive critical hits has also been increased by 100%-150% by this item.

In addition, Mjölnic Ryng allows Druid to gain unlimited Spirit and 40%-100% increased damage while Cataclysm is active, which greatly improves the shortcomings of the Class’s poor damage ability. Not only that, Tempest Roar can also convert some of your Willpower damage into Willpower in combat, making you more tanky. Not only is the poor damage ability a disadvantage that players have been discussing, but the information that Druid lacks flexibility is also widely known. But fortunately, in Season 7, Druid’s proud Hurricane skill can be cast while moving, increasing its chances of winning in battles that require a certain degree of flexibility.

As for other attack damage skills, they have all been improved to some extent, such as Raging Shred, which will increase your skill set by 30% poison damage and Grizzly Rage by 60%. The most exaggerated one can be said to be Lacerate, whose damage value has increased to 600% of the original! It can be predicted here that this skill will definitely become one of the most important skills in Druid’s build because it is too powerful.

In previous seasons, Druid’s Passives can be said to be very difficult to choose, because only one of the strong survivability and damage ability can be retained. But in Diablo 4 Season 7, you may no longer be bothered by this problem, because several passive skills that deal damage have been buffed. For example, Lupine Ferocity will increase your critical hit damage by 75% for every three Werewolf casts that hit, Heightened Senses will increase your movement speed by 3% in werewolf form, and Charged Atmosphere will increase your build’s lightning damage by 10%.

Since Druid is the only Class in the game with human and beast multi-forms, the choice of Spirit Boons is also very important for the build. In view of this, the developers have made certain enhancements to Deer and Wolf: the former can help you deal 5% extra damage with subsequent damage attacks when attacked, while the latter allows you to restore all your Spirit when you cast Lucky Hit.

These are some changes you will see for the Sorcerer and Druid classes in Diablo 4 Season 7. Since the official version of the next season has not yet been announced, some of the key attributes and statistics in this guide are not accurate and are for reference only. You can also participate in some giveaways for D4 game products in IGGM Discord in your free time, which may make your exploration of the next season easier.

In Diablo 4, Barbarian can only fully unleash its true potential in melee combat by adopting the best build. With pure strength and superb melee weapon skills, Barbarian can easily defeat groups of enemies. If you prefer a solo play style, then Barbarian is undoubtedly your best choice.

Because of the diversity of Barbarian, players can choose different build methods according to their own play style and needs. Next, we will introduce you to the best Barbarian builds for PvE and PvP in Diablo 4 Season 6.

Best PvE Build

Bash Barbarian is a very popular play style. This build turns you into a walking sledgehammer, capable of tearing through single targets and groups of targets with amazing efficiency, improving the efficiency of Diablo 4 Gold farming. Bash is now even more powerful thanks to seasonal buffs.

Flay Barbarian is also a very interesting choice. This build must keep enemies bleeding to deal maximum damage.

Frenzy Thorns is large, easy to handle, and effective against almost many enemies and scenarios. But it can only really maximize its potential after getting Razorback.

Best PvP Build

Bash Barbarian is a top choice not only for PvE but also for PvP. This build is known for its Fury generation and defensive perks, allowing players to take hits from enemies in the heat of battle while also being able to effectively counterattack and punish other players.

All Barbarian Builds

Bash Barbarian

Bash Barbarian excels at powerful single-target attacks, delivering critical strikes and stuns with every swing. With Lunging Strike and War Cry boosting Fury and damage, and Bash shocking enemies, it’s perfect for tough fights. Simple yet powerful, it’s one of the strongest builds in Diablo 4.

Flay Barbarian

Flay Barbarian focuses on bleeding damage, increasing Fury with Lunging Strike, and Challenging Shout for survivability. This build relies on sustained damage to gradually make enemies suffer. Although the damage potential is huge, the damage is slow to show up because of the focus on DoT, and the actual feasibility is slightly inferior to Bash Barb.

Frenzy Thorns Barbarian

Frenzy Thorns Barbarian focuses on reflecting damage and enhancing attack speed. Frenzy increases attack speed, thorns reflect damage from enemy attacks, and Challenging Shout and Iron Skin enhance survivability. This build relies on Razorback as a key item, and it is not recommended to fully invest in it before obtaining it.

Hammer Of The Ancients Barbarian

Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian build relies on Fury to launch devastating blows and becomes more powerful as your Fury grows. By stacking shouts like Rallying Cry and War Cry, you can further enhance your Fury and destroy everything in sight.

This build performs well both when facing single enemies and groups of enemies. However, to be most effective at killing bosses with this build, Ancestral Force is a must-have Aspect.

Despite this, Hammer of the Ancients Barbarian has a relatively low DPS compared to builds that focus on Bash, Rend, or Flay.

Upheaval Barbarian

Upheaval Barbarian emphasizes destroying enemies with huge ranged attacks and performs particularly well against groups of enemies. Rallying Cry and War Cry are key abilities that support this build, as they help you keep Fury in an efficient state, ensuring that your attacks are constantly powerful. Items that increase attack speed and critical damage can further enhance the effectiveness of each attack.

While the base damage of Upheaval Barbarian build is very strong and can be quickly upgraded in the early stages. However, as the game progresses, especially in the later stages, other builds may surpass it in single-target damage or performance in long fights.

Rend Barbarian

Rend Barbarian focuses on destroying enemies with continuous bleeding damage. Lunging Strike helps you accumulate Fury, and Iron Skin improves survivability. Cooldown management is key, Rallying Cry and War Cry boost damage, and Rupture is key to maximizing AoE damage. Rend requires Ring of the Ravenous to work best, making the build more complex, difficult to assemble, and relatively less rewarding.

Whirlwind Twisters Barbarian

If you like to spin and destroy everything, Whirlwind Twisters Barbarian is the perfect choice for you. Utilize Rallying Cry to maintain Fury, War Cry to boost damage, and devastate enemies like a tornado. This build focuses on speed and efficiency, ensuring no enemy survives. However, it is slightly inferior to other AoE builds in terms of end-game content.

Double Swing Twisters Barbarian

Double Swing Twisters Barbarian focuses on speed and ferocity, suppressing enemies with rapid strikes, and using Rallying Cry and War Cry to maintain attack pressure. With its focus on dual-weapon attacks and efficient resource management, it is the first choice for Whirlwind players, especially for large-area damage. However, there is still a gap compared to Bash and Flay build.

Leapquake Barbarian

Leapquake Barbarian combines high mobility and area damage, using Leap to trigger earthquakes to knock enemies away, making it suitable for dealing with large groups of enemies. However, it is difficult to assemble and its performance in boss battles is not as good as other AoE builds. Although it is interesting, it is not worth investing too much effort.

Death Blow Bonk Barbarian

Death Blow Bonk Barbarian focuses on devastating finishing blows, and can effectively deal with groups of enemies with precise timing and reset mechanisms. Lunging Strike and War Cry increase Fury and damage, making each blow more powerful. However, it performs poorly against bosses or large enemies, and its overall reliance on killing efficiency is an enormous challenge against large enemies.

Overall, Barbarian is a powerful melee profession that provides a variety of build options to suit different combat needs and play styles. If you lack any equipment support when trying to build, you can enter IGGM discord to follow the giveaway information that is often released, and you may find the equipment you need.
