Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-ineffective, pets efficiently gather 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 additional rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces Season 7 mechanics, including Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and new Witch powers. While relatively short, it involves puzzles and primarily focuses on Headhunt zone Favor farming, providing the optimal path to level 60. Continuously farm Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers concurrently.

Unlock Class Power

A convenient change: Prioritized class quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior login on the Eternal realm with that character). For example, a Season 7 Rogue player should first log in with a previously completed Rogue character before starting their new Season 7 Rogue. Class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.

Headhunt Zone Strategies

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

• Fugitive Shepherd: Easily escort animals across the map.
• 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. Note: A Raven of the Tree spawns in each Headhunt zone, offering an alternative Favor exchange point.

Mastering Witchcraft Powers

The Tree of Whispers' Altars of Witchcraft allow purchasing and upgrading Witchcraft powers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize cost-effective damage upgrades for significant passive damage boosts. Certain Witch powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds (Torment 1 difficulty). Draughts of Whispers increase Forgotten Altar encounter chances.

Navigating Rootholds

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

Utilizing Occult Gems

Gelena (at the Tree of Whispers) crafts Occult Gems for jewelry, superior to regular gems. Focus on Occult Gems in the late game; crafting is expensive, requiring significant Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Headhunt zone Fugitives). Draughts of Whispers improve Head drop chances from bosses.

Mastering Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

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