Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-ineffective, it efficiently gathers gold and materials, freeing you to focus on combat and loot acquisition.

Recruit Your Mercenaries

Vessel of Hatred expansion owners should visit the Den and enlist Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for additional rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While relatively short, it includes puzzles and primarily involves farming Favors in Headhunt zones—the optimal path to level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers concurrently.

Unlock Class Power

A convenient update: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires a prior login with that character on the Eternal realm). For example, a Season 7 Rogue benefits from a prior Rogue character's completed quests. Class power automatically unlocks upon reaching the necessary level.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

While exploring Headhunt zones, actively pursue Whispers. Four zones are always active; prioritize smaller, denser zones for efficient mob farming and Whisper completion. Prioritize these Whisper quests:

• Fugitive Shepherd: Escort animals across the map.
• Fugitive: Recover a head or destroy a husk (activated by defeating Elites and interacting with roots).

Exchange 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers. A Raven of the Tree also resides in each Headhunt zone, offering an alternative Favor exchange point.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

At the Tree of Whispers, purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Note that some powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds (Torment 1 and above). Draughts of Whispers increase Altar encounter chances.

Explore Rootholds

Rootholds (accessed with Whispering Woods from Whispers and Silent Chests) offer a rogue-lite experience similar to Infernal Hordes. Activate negative modifiers for improved loot. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect root quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot acquisition.

Utilize Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (via Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots; they outperform regular gems. Focus on these later in the game; crafting is expensive, requiring Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives). Draughts of Whispers boost Head drop chances.

Master Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Continue incorporating Pits and Nightmare Dungeons into your routine. Nightmare Dungeons yield Glyphs; Pits level them up. Farm Infernal Hordes for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques.
