Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-inept, 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 recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for extra rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. It introduces new mechanics (Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, Witch powers). While 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 simultaneously.

Unlock Class Power

A convenient change: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior login with that character on the Eternal realm). For example, a Season 7 Rogue needs a prior Rogue character with completed quests logged in beforehand. Class power unlocks automatically at the required level.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller zones for higher enemy density and faster mob farming. Always prioritize these Whisper quests:

Fugitive Shepherd: Escort animals.
Fugitive: Defeat Elites, interact with roots to recover a head or destroy a husk.

Exchange 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers or with the Raven of the Tree (spawns in each Headhunt zone).

Harness Witchcraft Powers

The Tree of Whispers' Altars of Witchcraft allow purchasing and upgrading Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or via Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.

Explore Rootholds

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

Utilize Occult Gems

Gelena (at the Tree of Whispers) crafts Occult Gems for jewelry, superior to regular gems. Focus on these late-game; crafting requires significant Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; Draught of Whispers increases Head drop chances).

Master Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Continue incorporating Pits (for Glyph leveling) and Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs) into your routine. Farm Infernal Hordes for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques.
