The exact release date for Diablo 4 Season 1 has been confirmed. The developer stated that in the new season, we will only use Renown for map exploration and Altars of Lilith. So one thing you can do is optimize your route to level 50 to get as many Renowns as possible.

I’ll show you this by showing you my running route. This route will optimize your dungeon run by directing you to Side Quests in the same dungeon. I’ll show you the location on the map as I go through the steps.

Daughter Of The Oak

So let’s start with the first step. We’ll start with the major city. We want to go north along the main road and find Side Quest, Daughter of the Oak, where we need to complete the quest.

Fields Of Ruin

Then we go out of the city and go east. We will receive Fields of Ruin quest. For this Side Quest, you only need to complete the first part of it, which is to go around and drop Runestone. Once you do, it will unlock the quest at the next NPC, head south and take the quest, Feral Moon.

Sarat’s Lair

Once you’ve completed this Side Quest in Sarat’s Lair dungeon. It means you’ve also completed the required dungeon quest, killing two birds with one stone. Then go back outside and you can use emotes to leave the dungeon. This would be the closest way to returning to an NPC to quest.

Now we’re heading east into town and heading to Waypoint under Fat Goose Inn. Once that’s done, we’ll teleport back to the principal town. We can then continue southwest to Firebreak Manor Waypoint.

After we find Waypoints, we need to head northwest to Tur Dulra Stronghold. We want to finish Stronghold, as this unlocks two dungeons with Side Quests. Once we’ve completed Stronghold, we’ll be rewarded with Diablo 4 Items that can upgrade gear from Druid in the middle.

Diviner

This Side Quests is called Diviner. This quest will ask you to click on Rubble to find Runestone. Once you return Runestone to Druid and complete the quest, it’s time for some RP discussions. Then he will give you a new quest, in which the player will drop more Diablo 4 Gold and XP for killing monsters. Next we’re going to the middle level of Stronghold.

Then we have to enter Underroot dungeon, which is related to the quest we accepted at the beginning, namely Daughter of the Oak. We can teleport back to Tur Dulra Stronghold after completing the dungeon quest. Now we’re going to complete Diviner’s request. So we need to collect two Runestones in the primary world. You can find their locations on the map.

Then, heading north, we’ll head to Wretched Delve dungeon here. We’ll find the final Runestone of the quest, and we can also complete the dungeon. But eventually we have to teleport back to Tur Dulra and turn in the quest for Druid. During this process, you want to pick up Runestones in the middle of Stronghold.

Then we’ll continue running north to Hope’s Light Stronghold, and we’ll finish it off. Then we will teleport back to the chief town and enter the quest Daughter of the Oak.

Then we’re going to run north to find Braestaig Waypoint. But this Side Quest is on the east side, called Seer. So all you have to do is kill some goatmen and they will drop Entrails. You only need to pick up five of them to complete the quest.

Next up is Smoke Signals, and we’re heading east of town. This will be a villager surrounded by a mob. We talk to them and we’re done.

Reclamation

We’ll go back to town to turn it in, and the same NPC will give us our next quest, Reclamation. First, we need to talk to the mayor or whoever he is in the next house. Then you have to go to the west side of the city and talk to the same NPC that gave you the quest.

She will then ask you to enter the dungeon near Domhaine Tunnels. That’s the dungeon associated with our quest to complete the quest. This will be the last quest and dungeon we do. Now we have a few things left.

We’re going to run east to our last waypoint, which is Tirmair. We will then head north to finish the last Stronghold, Moordaine Lodge.

Summary & Conclusion

That’s all Side Quest and dungeon combinations I’ve done in Fractured Peaks. Hopefully, this guide helps you optimize your upgrade path to get as much Renown as possible.

Side Quests are what most Diablo 4 players do, just to get their Renown and earn Paragon points. Given this, they look for short tasks to complete.

But what if I told you, there's a chain of side quests that will not only earn you Renown, but also reward you with Diablo 4 Items, that will make it well worth your time. There is a side quest in Hawezar, called A Question of Self. It requires you to play through Act 4 of The Campaign, which is where you fight in darial from Diablo 2, spoiler alert I guess, maybe I should have said that first. This will start a chain of side quests containing A Question of Self, Past Regrets a series of steps, in taste's final story.

Features Of Quest Chain

This quest chain is not only one of the most enjoyable to play through in the game, But also one of the most rewarding. At the end of the chain, you'll receive a total of 80 Renowned for all of the quests, but most importantly, you'll get a really special Amulet that some of you might have overlooked if you already have done this quest.

Taser rewards you with mark of the conclave which is basically a unique Amulet disguised as a rare. Many will only see the three abilities spawned on this Amulet and may throw it on the ground, as can other similar items in the game.

Find Some Items

In fact in 20 places scattered throughout the map, you'll find you unique monsters that drop these rare items and some Diablo 4 Gold, that always spawn with the same abilities. You'll know that they're special, because each one of them has a quote on them, much like uniques do in the game.

But since these items are rare, you can not only re-roll their abilities at Occultist, but you can also put aspects on them. Most of these items you find in the overworld are useless and nowhere near as powerful as other rare items you can find.

Something You Should Pay Attention

But the sigil of Conclave is a very special item, and may not look special at first glance. However it spawns with life on it. This is an attribute that cannot normally spawn on an Amulet, and the other stats are directly tied to your class.

The power level of those stats are tied to your character level, so it's most beneficial to do this at the highest level possible. I completed this quest on my Necro at level 83 for the purpose, and I regret doing it so low, but I took one for the team. So that you guys know how powerful this quest is.

The crucial power level that you're looking for is to be above 725, it's a very crucial break point for item levels in the game. So again do this at the highest level possible.

Amulet's Importance

Someone shared Amulet that their Rogue got from completing this quest, and this Amulet is nuts, not only can life not spawn on Amulets, but also this character can't spawn at such a high value on any item in the game. It's actually like two abilities in one, I can add the best abilities you can find on almost any item.

When you realize most classes only want some of the abilities on their Amulets, you can roll those abilities back into whatever abilities you want. This might actually make this quest item, one of the best items in Diablo 4, and it's even tradable.
