General News

In the season change of Diablo 4, the build you use in the game will be divided into leveling builds and endgame builds according to different end goals. The criterion for judging the best leveling build is that your character levels up very quickly.

But unfortunately, even in Season 7, Barbarian still upgrades very slowly, which makes it very difficult to make the best Barbarian leveling build. However, due to its enhanced attack ability in the current season, you can enhance its killing speed and mobility through some of the build options you choose for it, making this build more powerful.

To cut down on the cost of time and energy spent on crafting your build, this guide will show you the right skills and gear to place in your best Barbarian leveling build, so that you can target farming for these specific items or attributes during the exploration process to achieve your goal of getting into the endgame stage faster.

Best Barbarian Leveling Build Overview

In fact, the best Barbarian leveling build in the current season is a variation of Bleed Thorns Barbarian build, which is more suitable for clearing regular enemies or monsters during the leveling stage rather than difficult boss encounters. And in the improved Barbarian build, the ability to clear large groups of monsters will be greatly increased, which is very suitable for leveling stages that need to farm a lot of experience points and Diablo 4 Gold.

Active Skills

As just introduced, in this best Barbarian leveling build, all you need to focus on is the damageability of Barbarian in the process of clearing enemies and maps, especially Thorns with a lot of continuous damage. So when you choose active skills for it, please prioritize skills that can cause more damage to Thorns, and then skills that can effectively control groups of enemies. Here are some active skills that can be recommended for you.

• Flay
• Rend
• Challenging Shout
• Rallying Cry
• Rupture
• Wrath of the Berserker

With the skill points you have, you only need to maximize Rend and Wrath of the Berserker, as they provide more and better benefits to your build. The rest of the skill points can be used to invest in your passive skills or upgrade them to higher levels to obtain any other active skills that are useful for your build.

Passive Skills

Again, when picking passive skills, you also need to focus on those that can increase your Thorns damage. The rest of you can choose passive skills in the order to improve offensive ability, defensive ability, and quality of life. Here are some passive skills recommended for you and some specific skill points.

• Endless Fury
• Imposing Presence
• Belligerence
• Outburst
• Tough as Nails
• Swiftness
• Thick Skin (1/3)
• Defensive Stance
• Counteroffensive
• Pit Fighter
• No Mercy
• Heavy Handed
• Gushing Wounds

Two passives to look out for here are Outburst and Tough as Nails, which can significantly increase your Thorns damage, especially when you have a lot of max health. Also worth mentioning is Gushing Wounds, which increases your bleed damage in proportion to your build’s critical hits, making it easier to get a one-hit kill.

But if you don’t care about critical hits, you can also replace it with Barbed Carapace, which will increase the damage of your already very powerful Thorns in your build.

Witchcraft Powers

Once you enter Season 7, you will be amazed by the 25 different Witchcraft Powers available to you this season. You can use them to make your build more powerful offensively and defensively, and for the current best Barbarian leveling build, you can choose from the following powers.

• Aura of Siphoning: It poisons all nearby enemies, and when upgraded, the siphon aura heals you when you deal damage.
• Shaken Soul: Eldritch power applies Vulnerability to enemies, and when upgraded, this effect is also applied by Psyche and Growth & Decay powers for half the duration.
• Aura of Misfortune: Slows down non-boss enemies. Upgrading it will increase your movement speed, potentially making you immune to attacks from nearby enemies.
• Hex of Whispers: Every 5 seconds, inflict a Hex of Whispers on the next damage dealt. The target takes shadow damage and passes Hex to another target.
• Soul Harvest: When you use the cooldown, you get a bonus Primary Core Stat for each nearby enemy.
• Vengeful Spirit Savant: Every some seconds, you summon a Vengeful Spirit that lasts for some seconds. This spirit absorbs all damage you take.

Since Occult Gems, another new Diablo 4 Items in this season, can only be crafted in the endgame, we won’t be covering the gems that can be put into an optimal Barbarian endgame build here.

Gear

Like the skills you choose for this optimal Barbarian leveling, the build you pick here will also be centered on increasing Thorns and Bleed damage. Here are the recommended items to put in each gear slot, but be aware that some Uniques and Legendary Aspects will require you to spend a lot of time and Diablo 4 Gold to farm.

• Aspect of Might - Helmet
• Aspect of Disobedience - Chest Armor
• Aspect of Anger Management - Gloves
• Undying Aspect - Pants
• Craven Aspect - Boots
• Aspect of Inevitable Fate - Amulet
• Aspect of The Umbral - Ring 1
• Aspect of Berserk Fury - Ring 2
• Needleflare Aspect - 2H Bludgeoning
• Aspect of Burning Rage - 1H Weapon 1
• Vehement Brawler’s Aspect - 1H Weapon 2

When you have all the above gear in your build, they will work perfectly with Witchcraft Powers you chose: you will always be Berserking and Fortified, and your movement speed will always be increased. More importantly, enemies will always be Vulnerable, which will make your other damage types more powerful.

That’s all the skills and gear options for making an optimal Barbarian leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 7. Hopefully, with the help of the items and skills in this guide, you can get through this very long stage faster and challenge the bosses in the endgame stage as soon as possible.

By the way, if your progress in D4 is very slow or even stagnant because of lack of gold or items, you can use the giveaway channel in IGGM Discord to get some gifts, which may make your exploration more comfortable. Have fun playing!

In Diablo Season 7, Witch Powers is the theme of this season. Occult Gems are also new items in Season 7. They can be used with Witch Powers to exert greater power.

Unlike Witch Powers, Occult Gems require players to collect materials to craft. And crafting Occult Gems does not require gold, but many fragments, and you also need to participate in Headhunts and collect Fugitive Heads. Occult Gems are more powerful than ordinary gems, and their performance is much better than traditional gems. Each Occult Gem can provide your character with high armor and other effect bonuses.

Occult Gems

There are three different types of mysterious gems:

• Magic Rarity
• Rare Rarity
• Legendary Rarity

The higher the rarity, the better the effect of these Occult Gems. At the same time, each gem can provide your character with 8% of all resistances and 160 armor. To make Occult Gems of different rarity, you need Occult Gems of the previous rarity as raw materials. Magic Rarity Occult Gems need Fugitive Heads to make.

If you want to make Occult Gems quickly, you need to participate in Headhunts a lot. Not only can you get Fugitive Heads in this event, you can also get a lot of fragments and Diablo 4 Gold.

It takes a lot of fragments to create Occult Gems. In addition to hunting monsters in Headhunt area to obtain fragments, you can also do Infernal Hordes quest and open the material box in this quest.

Many of the effects of Occult Gems are directly auxiliary to Witch Powers or are affected by Witch Powers. The two work together to exert greater power in Season 7. Choosing the right combination of Occult Gems and Witch Powers can greatly improve the efficiency of farming gold and defeating Bosses.

Players can first confirm which build they want to play in Season 7, then match Witch Powers for it according to the characteristics of the build, and finally choose Occult Gems based on Witch Powers. Occult Gems can only be placed in accessories, and only one can be placed at a time, so choose carefully. Don’t waste fragments to create an Occult Gem you don’t need.

As we all know, Grim Favors, as an important resource in Diablo 4 Season 7, is essential for advancing the overall game progress and completing character build. So, do you want to know how to farm them effectively and how to choose the best farming location? Don’t miss this guide!

Why Farm Headhunts?

First of all, when it comes to farming Grim Favors, the best way must be to clear Headhunt area. Why? In fact, the answer is very simple.

Headhunt area is a new area in Season 7, where you will find everything you need to achieve the goals of the new season endgame, including key materials to upgrade your Witch Powers to the highest level. More importantly, get the materials needed to make Occult Gems and farm Grim Favors, which will improve your reputation in The Coven.

The Best Strategy To Run Headhunt Efficiently

Next, we will show you a method that will allow you to get 1000 to 1200 Grim Favors per hour. What you do is jump from one Headhunt area to another to collect as many materials as possible. This method is much better than staying in one Headhunt area until it expires.

To try this strategy, you first open the map, search for a Headhunt area with a low remaining time but no less than 10 minutes, so that you have enough time to farm it as well as possible and head there.

Once you arrive, you need to perform Whispers. Once you have collected them, you ignore everything else and jump directly to another area. Following this method, you can probably farm 4 to 6 Headhunt areas per hour.

Grim Favors Multiplier

In addition to this, one thing we need to know is the number of Grim Favors you can get per Torment level. To explain this as simply as possible, you only need to understand a multiplier here.

Let’s say you killed a Blood Maiden, at Torment 1, a Blood Maiden is worth 5 Grim Favors, but multiplied by 10, so killing a Blood Maiden gives you 50 Grim Favors. At Torment 4, a Blood Maiden is still worth 5 Grim Favors, but the multiplier is 20, so this will give us 100 Grim Favors.

To make things easier, the following list of Whispers you need to farm already shows the multiplier. So don’t panic when you see that you need to collect 1000 Grim Favors, that’s the equivalent of killing a Blood Maiden or Seething Abomination or Fugitive Heads 10 times in Torment 4.

Here are the 5 Whispers you should complete in each Headhunt area:

1. Fugitive Whisper

• Normal: 5 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 50 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 100 Grim Favors

Your main goal in each Headhunt area is to kill the enemies in the area, they may spawn two types of bosses, the first is Headless Husk, and the other is Fugitive Heads. As the name suggests, the difference between the two is that one will drop Heads and the other will not. Just like Blood Maiden in Helltide, you can farm these bosses endlessly, but to do so, you need to click on Exposed Roots that have a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon.

The good thing about grinding these bosses is that we no longer need to spend time collecting summoning materials, all you need to do is complete activities in the area and interact with Exposed Root, this alone will give you a chance to spawn an Uprooted Cacoon. In simple terms, when you are in the area, an orange Cacoon icon and notification will appear on the map, please immediately drop what you are doing and go to that place to kill the boss.

2. Harvest Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

This Whisper will require you to kill specific types of enemies, which will drop orange orbs that you need to collect. Once you have enough orbs, remember to deposit them on Altar to claim Whisper. You just need to open the map and search for Harvest icon, where you will find Altar. This can be done quickly.

I strongly recommend going to Altar as soon as you complete it, because if you don’t, there is a high chance that you will forget to claim them. Trust me, this happens a lot.

3. Purge The Rot Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

This Whisper is also quick to complete, you need to kill 150 Headrotten monsters, this is easy to achieve, especially if you are around Uprooted Cacoon area and keep clicking on Exposed Root, but generally speaking they will spawn from anywhere.

4. Patrol Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

Here you need to find NPC guard, you can find it on the map by the sword and shield icon, all you need to do is follow him until the 120 monsters in the orange circle are killed.

5. Shepherd Whisper

• Normal: 3 Grim Favors
• Torment 1 (x10): 30 Grim Favors
• Torment 4 (x20): 60 Grim Favors

Another Whisper we recommend is Shepherd. There you will find 4 lost animals and you need to escort them back to a safe zone, which happens to be a tree. Every time you interact with an animal, some monsters will appear, just kill them so the animal is free, then follow the animal back to the tree.

Why Aren’t The Other Whispers Worth Completing?

Sure, there are other activities that give you 60 Grim Favors, like Wisps Whisper, but they take longer. So overall, they’re not worth it. And the other Whispers only give you 20 Grim Favors, so even if they’re cool or fun, it’s totally not worth it. You can make better use of your time by heading to another area, so just ignore them.

Once you have finished all Whispers mentioned above, leave this area and go to the next area with less time remaining and repeat.

Other Tips

Catching Caches At Ravens

Besides this, the most important tip we can give you is to check your Whisper progress and pick up caches at Ravens immediately. This is crucial because you don’t want to notice that your progress is always 0 after you have been happily killing and farming.

So why Raven? Because it is a brilliant move by the developers, it allows us to store Whispers instead of teleporting back to Tree of Whispers. Hopefully, they will implement this mechanism in Helltide in the future.

Cleaning Up The Inventory

Another thing to consider is to keep your inventory clean and not pick up equipment that has no signs of higher affixes, so as to avoid being forced to discard some valuable items when your inventory is full in the later stages. Therefore, it is recommended that you can sell some items that you don’t need at the moment before you start farming, which will not only earn you extra Diablo 4 Gold but also clear your inventory as soon as possible.

Using Draught Of Whisper

Finally, be sure to open a bottle of Draught of Whisper before exploring Headhunts, which increases your chances of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50% and can be used with other potions.

To sum up, these are the best ways and noteworthy tips to farm Grim Favors in Headhunt area. If you follow this method, you can collect thousands of Grim Favors in a short period of time! Good luck!

In Diablo 4, there are six classes: Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Spiritborn, Sorcerer and Rogue. Compared with other classes, Rogue has a short attack range and low defense. The only outstanding feature is that Rogue has good mobility. Rogue players can focus on melee combat or combine melee and ranged combat. But in any case, this requires a certain level of proficiency.

Rogue builds can play a reliable role in all aspects, but because Rogue’s defense is not high, it is possible to be surrounded by monsters and killed by the enemy if you are not careful. Therefore, for Rogue players, the experience in the early stage of the game is different from that of other classes. Even if it is not a strong Sorcerer, Sorcerer’s Firewall can ensure that he can deal with monsters in a safe area and easily obtain gold, materials, gem fragments and other resources from the enemy. Therefore, the following will introduce how to level Rogue quickly.

Skills

If Rogue wants to level up quickly, the main idea is to rely on AOE skills to clear monsters quickly. Therefore, the following Rogue Leveling Build is recommended for you:

• Twisting Blades Rogue
• Dual Core Rapid Fire Flurry Rogue
• Penetrating Shot Rogue
• Dance of Knives Rogue
• Barrage Rogue

The basic skill recommended for players to choose for Rogue is Puncture. Puncture allows your throwing knives to fly a not too far distance, but in any case this extends your attack range, and more importantly, it can slow down the opponent in the third attack. This allows Rogue to contain monsters and always stays within a safe range. The basic skill, Fundamental Puncture, is a perfect improvement to Puncture, which allows Rogue’s throwing knives to hit more enemies. This can greatly improve your efficiency in farming monsters. Whether it is Leveling or farming Diablo 4 Gold, you can’t do without this skill.

Barrage is the core skill that Rogue should choose. Players need to improve the rank of Barrage as much as possible, which may allow Rogue to fire multiple arrows at a time. At the same time, these arrows have a chance to rebound after hitting the enemy. Barrage has different enhancement options. At the beginning, players can choose Advanced Barrage, which can give you a higher chance of hitting a critical strike. After you gain Precision skill, the enhancement skill can be switched to Improved Barrage. This skill allows the player’s third attack to make the monster Vulnerable.

Shadow Step and Dash are the mobility skills that Rogue should choose. Dash can slow down the enemy being hit and can also cause some damage to them. When Rogue uses Shadow Step, he can quickly move behind the opponent, which is conducive to Rogue make a lot of damage. There is no order in which these two skills should be learned. Their main function is to avoid some particularly large damage and allow Rogue to move to a safe position.

Shadow Imbuement and Cold Imbuement are active skills that Rogue needs to point out. The cooldown of these two skills is not long, and you can use them in rotation. For both skills, you only need to set them to Rank 1, but you still need to make additional enhancements to them.

Witch Powers

Rogue is very good at debuffing enemies, so there are many Witch Powers that work well with Rogue. You can choose from the following Witch Powers:

• Hex of Shattering
• Hex of Flames
• Aura Specialization
• Aura of Siphoning

In Season 7, players can carry 6 different Witch Powers for their characters, divided into 1 unique Witch Power and 5 ordinary Witch Powers. In addition to Witch Powers mentioned above, players can freely combine them.

Equipment

In order to leveling up quickly, Rogue’s equipment selection needs to consider whether it can cause AOE damage to monsters or hit more enemies. Other equipment can be simplified, but for Rogue who needs to level up quickly, Aspect of Branching Volleys is an indispensable weapon.

Aspect of Branching Volleys can increase the chance of arrow splitting by 30% to 60% and also increase the chance of arrow rebound by 50% to 80%! This weapon can greatly increase your efficiency in farming gold or clearing monsters.

To get Aspect of Branching Volleys, you need to go to Shadowed Plunge Dungeon in Hawezar, and after completing this dungeon, unlock Codex of Power. Then you can get it.

For other equipment, you need to pay attention to the properties of the items. In the early stages of the game, you don’t have so many ways to slow down enemies and move quickly, so equipment selection can focus on improving defense. After you have some basic skills, you can choose equipment that improves agility, movement speed, maximum health, attack speed, and armor. But be careful not to rush into the monster group rogue rashly. After all, Rogue does not have the defense of the Barbarian. After you have all the key skills, equipment selection needs to focus on choosing effects such as reducing cooldown time and increasing skill damage.

The above is how Rogue should choose the right skills and equipment in the early game. Rogue is a class that requires proficiency. It may be a bit difficult to deal with monsters in the early stages of the game, but after Rogue level is increased and you already have some good equipment, your Rogue will be very fast in clearing monsters. At the same time, Rogue can also impose various debuffs on the enemy, so it is very popular in the team.

Diablo 4 Season 7 has made a radical change to the ultimate loot chase, with most activities’ rewards being adjusted and ultimate items being updated with a minor rework to Ancestral items. Ancestral items are more powerful variants of existing Legendary and Unique gear.

Finding the right Ancestral items will skyrocket your character’s damage and overall survivability, and you’ll need these to conquer the highest Torment difficulties. While the power spike is so powerful, finding Ancestral items is more difficult than ever before. So here I want to explain what I think is the best way to get Ancestral items, also known as items with Greater Affixes, in Diablo 4 Season 7.

Honestly, I think the best way to farm them is a little different than what most people say. Most people will say they’ll choose to start farming Ancestral items through Headhunt events, but in my experience, this is not the best way. Instead, the best approach is to run Roothold Dungeons, which is not only the most efficient way to farm, but it doesn’t require your character build to be very powerful, meaning you can try it even if you don’t have enough Diablo 4 Gold early in the game. Next, let’s talk about the specific steps to farming Ancestral gear in Rootholds.

Getting Whispering Wood Sigils

In order to enter these seasonal mini-dungeons called Rootholds, you need to have an item very similar to Sigils we used to enter Nightmare Dungeons, which are Whispering Wood Sigils. However, these Rootholds Sigils cannot be crafted, and you can only get these Sigils from the following two sources.

The first is to farm Whisper Caches, which have a medium chance of dropping these Whispering Wood Sigils. And to get these Whisper Caches, farming the new Headhunt area is your best choice.

Do not hesitate, you must enter Headhunt area, because another source of Whispering Wood Sigils is also mainly located in Headhunt area, these are Silent Chests. If you are an old player of Diablo 4 series, you will know that these chests require Whispering Keys to open, and you can get this key by gambling with Obols.

Since the gambling mechanism has been greatly weakened this season, it is worth spending your Murmuring Obols on these Whispering Keys. In this way, you can open Silent Chests inside Headhunt area and have a chance to get a ticket to enter Rootholds.

How To Improve The Chances Of Getting Ancestral Items?

Assuming that you have opened Whisper Caches and Silent Chests and obtained Whispering Wood Sigils in them. Now entering Roothold Dungeons, you must do the following to maximize the chances of getting Ancestral Legendary and Unique items.

Using Draught Of Whisper

First, you should use a bottle of Draught of Whisper elixir, which is also a new seasonal elixir added in Diablo 4 Season 7, which will increase your chances of getting Forgotten Altar and Fugitive Head at the end of Rootholds. Yes, this elixir does not directly increase your chances of getting Ancestral items.

Clearing Exposed Roots

Rootholds will definitely spawn Exposed Roots throughout the dungeon, so be sure to pay attention to these during your run. Only by defeating the monsters that spawn near these Exposed Roots and clearing all Roots can you reach the final Headrotten boss.

However, you will need to choose from at least one of the four Exposed Roots options to clear each time. Therefore, in order to maximize the chances of dropping Ancestral Legendary and Unique items, it is recommended that you always prioritize the options that can increase the number of major rewards you get from Exposed Roots.

If you’ve already chosen these, and you have a choice left, you should choose the option to increase the number of Exposed Roots in the next section.

If you’ve already completed all two steps, thus increasing the number of primary rewards and increasing the number of Exposed Roots, then you’re free to choose any other options you have left.

If you follow our steps and make these choices, then you have a good chance of getting Ancestral items from Exposed Roots inside Roothold dungeon. Especially if you have a well-equipped Ultimate character, farming the dungeon itself isn’t very difficult, so you shouldn’t have trouble killing the monsters inside either.

At the same time, clearing these Exposed Roots is also an excellent source for getting Draught of Whisper. Fortunately, the only criterion for moving to the next part of the dungeon is to hit all Exposed Roots. So, running the dungeon this way will allow you to advance your game progress in the shortest possible time and earn a lot of Diablo 4 Gold.

Also, following this farming method, you don’t have to kill all the enemies at the end, you can just focus on killing the bosses as they will have a chance to spawn Fugitive Head, a seasonal currency that is essential for strengthening your character build, and Draught of Whisper increases the chance of this currency dropping.

Outro

As we mentioned before, I believe this is the best way and route to get Ancestral items this season, especially if you manage to find at least one reward, which can increase the number of main rewards you get from Exposed Roots in the dungeon. Of course, if you have any other experience with farming Ancestral items, don’t forget to share it! Hopefully, these tips can help you make your journey in Sanctuary a little smoother!

With the start of the new Lunar Year, Diablo 4 Lunar Awakening event has returned to the Sanctuary. This is a limited-time event that celebrates Lunar New Year with a series of in-game rewards and buffs, allowing the fiery New Year atmosphere to spread to the game.

Lunar Awakening Event Overview

Just like last year, Lunar Awakening event will be available in Seasonal and Eternal Realms. This event starts at 10am PST on February 4 and lasts for 2 weeks until 10am PST on February 18.

During this event in Diablo 4 Season 7, all Shrines in the Sanctuary will be transformed into snake-themed Lunar Shrines, which not only have new appearances, new icons on the map, but these Shrines will also be affected by a phenomenon that gives them amazing powers. Activate any of these Shrines to earn 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and gain enhanced powers. They are charged with earth energy that manifests as radiant light.

Once activated, these Lunar Shrines unleash Miserly Spirits, bringing rewards and the coveted Ancestral Favor Reputation.

There are a total of 10 Ancestral Favor Reputation Levels to earn during this event, with rewards including Diablo 4 Gold, Resplendent Spark, and 6 different Lunar-themed cosmetic rewards to unlock, including the new Trag’Oul’s Consort mount. Once you’ve cleared all Reputation Levels, you can continue to earn additional rewards in the form of Unceasing Gifts from the Ancestors caches and collect event cosmetics at Ked Bardu.

Lunar Shrines Effects

In addition to special enemy drops, these Lunar Shrines grant 100% extra XP for 2 minutes and unique type-based enhancements.

• Artillery Shrine: Casters have a chance to summon a Holy Bomb.
• Blast Wave Shrine: Each explosion summons a chain of bombs.
• Channeling Shrine: Increases attack speed and a chance to reset cooldowns.
• Conduit Shrine: Summons frequent, powerful lightning strikes.
• Greed Shrines: Chance to summon a Treasure Goblin, killing them can net you some nice loot.
• Lethal Shrine: Chance to instantly execute the monster hit, causing surrounding monsters to be terrified. This includes elites, but not bosses and other players.
• Protection Shrine: Reflects all damage you take, with the amount of damage reflected proportional to level and difficulty.

Luckily, these Lunar Shrines can be found throughout dungeons and open world areas, offering lucrative opportunities to collect rare items and speed up your progress.

Event Rewards

As we said before, during the event, your Ancestral Favor Reputation will increase as you activate Lunar Shrines and kill enemies. This lets you redeem Unceasing Gift from the Ancestors rewards, including six Lunar-themed cosmetics, crafting materials, and a coveted new mount.

Additionally, Tejal’s shop has Lunar Awakening Cosmetics and Armor sets for sale, such as Dragon of the Lonely Moon Mount armor and Scholar of the Lonely Moon outfit available for Sorcerer class. Since opportunities are limited, you’ll want to grab them before February 18, 2025.

In addition to the rewards, the event also lets you accelerate your character progression. This is prime time to level up quickly and optimize your build to better prepare for the endgame grind of Diablo 4 Season 7.

However, Weapon Transmogs, Tattoos, and Mount Trophy offered by this year’s Lunar Awakening event are exactly the same as last year, so if you participated in Lunar Awakening last year, the only new thing for you is the new mount. The new mounts look like a mix of the horses from Crypt Hunter Pack and last year’s event horses, but at least there’s something to earn in the game.

To be honest, event rewards like this are more worth the player's time, rather than effortlessly logging into the event to get free cosmetics from the store like Halloween event. After all, a prize that is available to everyone is equal to a prize that is owned by no one.

• 2 new Whisper Bounties
• UI tweaks
• New button in Armory to easily remove gear
• Adjustments to Armory locations in multiple cities

Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft is a welcome change for fans of the action RPG, whether you’re a die-hard fan of the D4 series or just want to take a break from Path of Exile 2 map. While there are inevitably some issues with the new season, the release of the latest Patch 2.1.1 will make your life smoother, whether you’re still unlocking Witchcraft Powers or working on getting the perfect gear combination.

The above is all the content of the recent Diablo 4 Season 7 update. As long as you can seize the opportunity of this Lunar Awakening event, you can not only get a lot of rare theme prizes but also help your character to upgrade quickly and survive better in the danger-ridden shelter.

In order to ensure the freshness and fun of the game, Diablo 4 always adds various new events or challenges in the new season, and sets generous rewards in them, so that you can earn enough Diablo 4 Gold for your character while carrying out exciting adventures.

For example, in Season 7, which was launched on January 21st not long ago, besides the much-anticipated witchcraft power, it also brought you new challenges like Rootholds dungeon as a seasonal alternative to regular or nightmare dungeons.

Because there are new challenges and bosses in Rootholds dungeon and better rewards, it is necessary to understand some of its mechanisms in advance before taking on the challenge to avoiding losses in the game. Based on this, we will provide you with a guide to exploring Rootholds.

What Is Rootholds Dungeon?

In fact, you can think of Rootholds as the nightmare dungeon of Season 7. While nightmare dungeons are still available in the new season, Rootholds are more worth the effort, as they have a much higher chance of dropping Diablo 4 Gold and other rewards than regular dungeons. And if you run Rootholds after unlocking at least Torment I, you also have a chance to get Ancestral Uniques.

You need to find Rootholds before you can enter them, and to do this, you must first obtain a special item called Whispering Woods. However, this item is a bit tricky to get, and you can only find some after you complete seasonal Grim Favors and open Silent chests.

And even more, unfortunately, the drops from Whispering Woods are not guaranteed, so if you are unlucky, you may need to complete several Grim Favors to get one. But since collecting Whispering Woods is the only way to enter Rootholds, make an effort to collect them and save them carefully.

Where Is Rootholds Dungeon?

When you have collected enough Whispering Woods as keys to enter Rootholds, you can activate them in your inventory and then activate regular dungeons into Rootholds just like you would nightmare dungeons.

Once Rootholds appear, you can open the map in-game and teleport directly into that dungeon from your current location. These Rootholds will spawn anywhere on the map depending on your key, so be prepared.

How To Explore Rootholds?

If you’ve played Diablo 4 in the past and explored Infernal Hordes dungeon, everything about Rootholds may be familiar to you. After first entering Rootholds and going through the first passage, you’ll see several Enchanted Roots when you reach the surface. Each of these Enchanted Roots can act as a modifier to the root fortress, giving you a different difficulty level of Rootholds.

Two of the four roots will give you easier modifiers, while the other two are more challenging. Usually you have to choose a modifier to further explore Rootholds, but it’s recommended to choose up to two if possible. Because if you choose a more difficult modifier, you can get more rewards after completing Rootholds.

Next, after passing through the main gate, you should see certain points of interest on the mini-map, and approaching any of them you will find an Exposed Root as the source of a huge reward. Clicking on them will spawn a group of enemies in the game, and they will drop many unique items for you. And if you play Rootholds on Torment I difficulty or higher, you can also find Ancestral Uniques by clicking on Exposed Roots.

It is worth noting that every enemy spawned by Rootholds is also Headrotten, so you can also get a lot of Restless Rot by clearing these dungeons - it is the exclusive currency of Season of Witchcraft. In fact, with enough Restless Rot, you can upgrade the witchcraft power or obtain the elusive unique witchcraft power for that season.

After you successfully pass through Rootholds, you should encounter a gate with three additional modifiers, and choosing any two of them can further improve the rewards you get and increase the difficulty level, so you can fight all the way to the end. And if you want to get more loot, remember to interact with every Exposed Root you find.

All Rootholds Dungeon Rewards

After clearing each exposed root, you will go to the end of Rootholds and make Rootholds boss appear by touching the exposed root in the boss room. Most of the time, these bosses appear as headless shells, but sometimes bosses will grow a head, which you can get as a bonus after killing the boss with a head.

These heads can be used to craft Occult gems, and after you put the gems in your jewelry slots, your character will get the final power boost, allowing them to break through as you enter higher Torment difficulties and Pit tiers.

Even if the boss you encounter is a normal headless version, the amount of loot dropped after defeating them is still more than the normal Diablo 4 dungeon boss can provide. Rootholds dungeons have a lot of loot, from different levels of equipment to different levels of crafting recipes, which can help you complete the endgame more smoothly.

Overall, Rootholds are fun, quick to complete, and one of the most rewarding Season Challenges in Season 7, so we strongly recommend you completing them as soon as possible. If you want to get more game props easily besides Rootholds rewards, you can participate in the first giveaway event for Diablo 4 Season 7 currently being held on IGGM Discord.

During the event, we will select 20 lucky players to share 3000 Andariel Materials, 5000 Duriel Materials and 5000 Malignant Heart. I believe you will have this good luck!

Diablo 4 added a new class called Spiritborn last season, which provides players with a lot of interesting play styles to explore. One of them is that the character stands at a distance and uses a large area of ​​poison to damage all enemies, and Centipede build path in the game is very suitable for this play style.

Although this build path is slower than Jaguar and Eagle builds, it has become one of the most popular and easiest Spiritborn builds to use because of its ability to clear the entire screen of enemies in a few seconds with Damage over Time, burst damage, and auto-execution effects.

In addition, the powerful play style of Spiritborn Centipede Leveling Build allows most players to climb the difficulty level of combat easily in D4 and easily reach the endgame. However, given that Spiritborn has received a lot of changes in Season 7, this guide will recommend some Witchcraft Powers, skills, and gear that are suitable for this build based on the current balance changes, so that you can make an optimal build as quickly as possible.

Spiritborn Changes In Season 7

First, let’s take a look at some of the balance changes that Spiritborn has received in D4S7. We are happy that although some abilities of these classes have been greatly weakened, some key parts of the Spiritborn Centipede build that you need to use have not been affected by the debuffs.

Among them, Stinger and Enhanced Stinger, which can deal damage, have increased. In Touch of Death, Swarms now ignore enemies that are Invulnerable in favor of other enemies that pose a greater threat, making it easier to use your damaging abilities in combat.

For defense, The Devourer build grants you a 150% healing bonus for every damage dealt at level 5, which greatly increases your safety in those very difficult encounters.

The centerpiece of the build, Centipede in Spirit Hall, has also received some buffs. When you hit an enemy with your Centipede skill, that enemy deals 2% less damage and moves 10% slower. It also adds 70% Poison Damage for an additional 6 seconds, stacking up to 8 times.

These skills and stat buffs make Spiritborn Centipede build a powerful one this season, so as long as you choose the right build options for it and invest Diablo 4 Gold in its upgrades and enhancements, you’ll have more fun exploring than ever before.

About Witchcraft Powers

As the most significant new feature in Diablo 4 Season 7, the powerful abilities of Witchcraft Powers may make many players eager to add it to their own builds, but it is important to be careful to choose those that have the greatest benefits to the build. The following are Witchcraft Powers that can be selected in Spiritborn Centipede build, but since the details of each player’s play style are different, you can also choose the power that suits your exploration.

• Piranhado: When an enemy is Hexed and affected by the aura, it summons a Piranhado that will pull enemies towards it.
• Hex of Flames: A lucky hit inflicts a Hex of Flames, dealing with extra Fire Damage to enemies. If triggered by a Critical, Fire Damage explodes, and triggers Hex requirements.
• Aura of Siphoning: Deals Poison damage to nearby enemies and heals for a percentage of your health, and triggers Growth and Decay requirements.
• Aura of Misfortune: Increases movement speed and slows nearby enemies, and the affected enemies’ attacks may also be nullified.
• Soul Harvest: When used on cooldown, it briefly increases a percentage multiplier to your primary core stat for each nearby enemy.

Active Skills

Since Centipede skills combine sustained damage with healing, with high burst damage and Vulnerable application, Spiritborn Centipede build will revolve around Scourge and the Devourer. The former is used to spread poison over a wide area, and the latter is used to execute enemies that have been poisoned.

When these two skills are active, Withering Fist and Stinger must be matched with them as they are essential damage tools, and Touch of Death plays the most important role as a source of poison in the entire build. At this point, the damage capabilities in Spiritborn Centipede build are complete, but since this is a ranged-focused build, you will still need Armored Hide to help you get rid of enemies that can cause you to control you and gain some additional defensive capabilities.

Once you have unlocked these skills, you should consider how to upgrade your Diablo 4 Gold in the least and make your build the most powerful. You can upgrade in this order: (2/5) Withering Fist, (5/5) Stinger, (5/5) Scourge, (1/5) Armored Hide, (3/5) Touch of Death, and finally (5/5) Devourer.

In this way, you can unlock Key Passive at level 25, but only if you have collected all Altars of Lilith in the season and gained bonus skill points from them. Otherwise, you will only be able to unlock it at level 35.

Gear

In fact, gear isn’t that important when you’re using a Spiritborn Centipede Leveling build, because your most important task here is to level up as quickly as possible to get to the endgame. But once you start getting Legendary Aspects from combat around level 30, things start to change, and you’ll need to start looking for the best gear to go with it.

In this case, you should be particularly interested in Legendary Aspects that can significantly buff the skills in your build, such as Menacing (Utility). It allows Scourge to affect enemies around you for 5-9 seconds. Or Tormentor’s, which allows poisoned enemies to take an additional 50%-250% Thorns damage per second.

Besides damage ability, defense ability is also what you need to pay attention to. At this time, you can choose Umbral, which will allow you to gain 1-8 Primary Resources when controlling the enemy. For the rest of Inevitable Fate (Offensive) or Pestilence, you can choose it according to your needs.

For Diablo 4 Items that need to be placed in the construction, your focus should also be gear that can enhance Damage, Damage Over Time, Resource Cost Reduction, Cooldown Reduction, and Movement Speed. Given that there are too many choices for this type of item in the game, there is no specific recommendation here. I will only introduce you to three rings that are very worth trying. You can refer to them.

• Mother’s Embrace (Ring): If your core skill hits 4 or more enemies, the cost of your primary resources will be refunded.
• Wound Drinker (Ring): Generate 1-7 Vitality each time you deal thorn damage. And gain Toxic Skin’s Passive while wearing this ring.
• Ring of the Midday Hunt (Ring): Increases maximum vigor by 50% and generates 1-7 vigor per kill. While you have Ferocity, all poison damage is dealt for 33% of its normal duration.

For the new Occult Gems added to Diablo 4 Season 7, you can choose Moonlight Ward and Hungering Void for your Spiritborn Centipede Leveling build. Condemned grants you Damage Reduction and Maximum Resistance buffs to all elements for each level of your Unique Witchcraft Power, while the latter periodically pulls enemies towards you, making your available poison damage more effective.

The above are the build options you can choose for Spiritborn Centipede Leveling build in Diablo 4 Season 7. Once again, the recommendations here are based on their descriptions in the game, and you can adjust them according to your unique play style. In addition, if there is a lack of gold or items in the game, you can get some through the giveaway channel in IGGM Discord to make your exploration of the new season more comfortable and smooth.

Last week, Diablo 4 entered a new season with the theme of Season of Witchcraft. In such a season change, players are most concerned about the changes in Class and Uniques used, because this will directly lead to the effectiveness of the build they use and game experience in the new season.

In addition, those players who love to explore and innovate are looking for the most suitable build for Diablo 4 Season 7. This guide combines a lot of information from the current player community and social media to summarize several best builds for this season for you. You can make the right choice depending on your game style and goals.

In addition to the ability of the build, some of the best skills and gear in these builds will be recommended for you, but because each player’s game style and level are different, all the ones provided here are for reference only, subject to your actual exploration.

1. Barrage Rogue

First of all, we will introduce the best build of Rogue, which was not favored by players in previous seasons. In Season 7, Barrage Rogue has undergone a substantial change. It will focus on maximizing the damage ability and practicality of Barrage skill, which is very good whether it is used to clear enemies or fight against bosses.

Additionally, this build lets you use Combo Points system, Imbuements, and smart skill selections to deal significant area damage to enemies, which is helpful when fighting groups of enemies. And Fundamental Puncture upgrade in the build also makes enemies more vulnerable, increasing the damage and ricochet chance of Barrage.

However, it is important to make sure that Legendary Aspects you choose for this build are Codex of Power Aspects, so that it can be most effective. Also, invest a lot of Diablo 4 Gold in Barrage’s damage and ricochet chance to ensure that this skill’s damage is maximized. Here are some skills that can be recommended to you.

• Barrage
• Puncture
• Dash
• Shadow Step
• Shadow Imbuement Or Cold Imbuement

Because Barrage Rogue build is suitable for both single-target and group-based enemies, you choose the right Imbuement for the right situation - Shadow Imbuement for area damage, Cold Imbuement for single-target damage and freezes. Not only that, but you also need to maximize the ability of the Imbuement skill tree to increase the frequency and efficiency of these Imbuements.

2. Shred Druid

While Druid didn’t perform so well in previous seasons, its Shred skill in Season 7 makes it very likely to become a favorite for players who like a solid survivability and strong damage build, because Shred can deal high damage while maintaining mobility and resilience.

However, it must be noted that Shred Druid build is only suitable for those fighting against groups of enemies, and may be a bit difficult against single-target enemies. However, as long as you upgrade the core Shred skill of this build to the highest level, most battles can be completed easily. For those tough boss encounters, you can also survive until the last moment with a low health value.

For the gear in Shred Druid build, the first thing you need to consider is the options that can provide you with critical strike damage, Willpower and resistances. Here, it is recommended that Emeralds be placed in the weapon slot, Sapphires in the armor slot, and Diamonds in the jewelry slot, and spend as much Diablo 4 Gold as possible to upgrade them.

Additionally, for Diablo 4 Season 7, you can also use the newly added Occult Gems that can provide you with damage, survivability, or spirit generation buffs to make your build more damage output and durability. The skills provided below for your Shred Druid build can be adjusted according to your play style, but this is just a best practice for you.

• Storm Strike
• Shred
• Poison Creeper (Active)
• Trample
• Blood Howl
• Petrify

Since Druid is the only Class in the game with two forms, it is also very important to use Spirit Boons system correctly. Generally, use Prioritize Gift of the Stag to increase your spirit, and then use Pack Leader to reset the cooldown time you are waiting for Poison Creeper to deal damage, which will allow you to maintain the poison and immobilization effects, thereby dealing more damage.

3. Quill Volley Spiritborn

Although Spiritborn, which was added to the game last season, has received some attribute nerfs in S7, Quill Volley skill that can cause tremendous damage has not been affected. And with the additional support of Gorilla Spirit Guardian, a build based on this skill can cause high-range damage to the enemy and put the enemy into a vulnerable state quickly and for a long time.

Based on this effect, when choosing a skill tree, you need to prioritize Quill Volley and spend a lot of Gold on nodes that can provide you with damage and the possibility of applying Vulnerable in order to maximize its effectiveness, such as Vital Strikes. The following are recommended skill choices for you.

• Rock Splitter
• Enhanced Rock Splitter
• Quill Volley
• Enhanced Quill Volley
• Soar
• The Seeker

Gorilla Spirit Guardian just introduced can greatly upgrade and improve the survivability of the entire build, so that you can focus more on building this damage-based build. For the second Spirit Guardian, you can choose Jaguar, as it can significantly increase your attack speed and overall damage.

Of course, when making the best build for D4S7, you must not ignore the theme of this season - Witchcraft Powers. For example, in Quill Volley Spiritborn build, you can use Vengeful Spirit to reduce the damage you take or Soul Harvest to increase the main attributes of the build.

Or you can choose to add Hex of Shattering or Hex of Flames to your build depending on whether you need to deal with groups of enemies and whether you need extra damage. As for the choice of Occult Gems, you’d better give priority to those that can increase your damage and survivability, such as Witching Hour or Killing Wind.

The above is the specific information of the three best builds you can use in Diablo 4 Season 7, as well as some things to pay attention to when building. Once again, the skills and gear recommended here are all based on the attribute statistics published at this stage, and you may need to make some adjustments based on your actual combat situation. By the way, if you are facing slow or even stagnant exploration progress in Diablo 4 Season 7 because of lack of gold or items, you might as well participate in the giveaway channel of IGGM Discord to enrich your inventory of all products. I wish you a happy game!

The arrival of Diablo 4 Season 7 introduces a brand new currency, Fugitive Heads. This is not only a necessary material for making Occult Gems, but can also be transformed into Restless Rot, which is an important resource for improving builds, so it is highly sought after by players in the new season.

However, Fugitive Heads are very rare, and they are even rarer than Greater Affixes Legendary items under Torment difficulty. This is interesting for ordinary items, and it is entirely possible that players will not see a Head until they reach very high Paragon levels. Now let’s guide you step by step on how to get these Fugitive Heads.

Using Draught Of Whispers

First, if you have Draught of Whispers, use it first. This is a consumable elixir in Diablo 4 that increases your chance of encountering Fugitive Heads by 50%, and the effect lasts for one hour. Draught of Whispers can come from multiple sources, for example, they can come from Whisper Caches, or from Rootholds Dungeons, or from Headless Husks, all of which increase your chances of getting Fugitive Heads.

Playing On The Highest Difficulty

Next, you should play with the highest difficulty. You may have noticed that Fugitive Heads only drop at Torment difficulty. So if you play at any difficulty below Torment, you will hardly get any Fugitive Heads.

And since the chance of getting Fugitive Heads increases with Torment Difficulty Tier. So ideally, if you want to maximize your farming efficiency, you should farm in Torment IV, if your character is capable of doing so. So, if you want to get more Heads in a short period of time, don’t be stingy about investing Diablo 4 Gold in your build to better optimize the build effect.

Farming Headhunts

By far, the best source of Fugitive Heads is Headhunts. These Headhunts are the new seasonal areas in Diablo 4, and all you have to do is go there and start doing Whispers, any Whisper objectives will do. This is because when you complete any Whisper objective in the new Headhunts area, Exposed Roots will spawn around. You should click on these Exposed Roots, and then a bunch of random things will happen. Of course, the most anticipated result is that after clicking on Exposed Roots, a boss will be summoned, so you have a better chance of getting a Fugitive Head drop.

So you should run around in Headhunts and click on all Exposed Roots you find. If you are lucky, then clicking a few times will summon a boss.

You know the boss has been summoned when you get a ping on your mini-map, but other people will get this prompt too. So if someone else clicks on Exposed Roots and then summons a boss, your map will also ping, and you should go there. So once your map pings, you know the boss will eventually spawn at this location.

Now, this boss could be a Headless Husk. Unfortunately, you won’t drop a Fugitive Head when you kill it, but the boss itself has a random chance of spawning a Fugitive Head. The chance of a Fugitive Head spawning increases with each Difficulty Tier, and also with your Draught of Whispers applied. This is why you have to play on the highest difficulty, and ideally with Draught of Whispers buff.

For example, if you play on the highest difficulty, Torment IV, and have Draught of Whispers buff applied, there is a 15% chance of a Fugitive Head spawning instead of a Headless Husk. The chance of this happening is less on lower difficulties, though, and this only applies to Torment Difficulty.

Running Rootholds Dungeon

Aside from that, Fugitive Heads can also be obtained from Rootholds Dungeon. Rootholds are mini-dungeons in Diablo 4 Season 7 that operate similarly to Nightmare Dungeons. To get into it, you need to prepare some Whispering Wood Sigils. These Sigils come from Whisper Caches, so when you farm Fugitive Heads in Headhunts, you can also get these Whispering Wood Sigils in your inventory by completing Whispers.

When you enter Rootholds, you will go through a dungeon, and at the end of the dungeon you will meet a boss. This boss has a chance to be a Headless Husk and also has a chance to be a Fugitive Head. Unfortunately, the chance of them being Fugitive Heads is not very high.

I think this way of collecting Fugitive Heads is not better than Headhunts. Because the chance of getting Fugitive Heads from Rootholds is very low, and it takes longer. Therefore, I only recommend going to Rootholds to get Fugitive Heads if you need items with Greater Affixes or if you have already completed all Headhunts and are waiting for the next Headhunt to appear.

Summary

Finally, let’s summarize it once more. We recommend that you prioritize collecting Fugitive Heads while running Headhunts, and don’t forget to run around completing Whisper objectives during this time, which will spawn Exposed Roots for you. You should click on all of these Exposed Roots and try to get the boss to spawn, and if any other player spawns a boss, you should also run to that place so that you have a chance to spawn and drop Fugitive Heads.

If you have completed all Headhunts areas, then you can go into Rootholds Dungeon and try to get Fugitive Heads from there. Remember, for both Rootholds and Headhunts, you should use Draught of Whispers if you have them, as they increase your chances of getting Heads. If you are short of these items, then you might as well pay attention to IGGM Discord, where the giveaway channel occasionally launches some sweepstakes. So hurry up and get active here. Maybe you will be the next lucky person!
