Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe to 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 to recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for added 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 method for reaching level 60. Continuously defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers simultaneously.

Unlock Class Power

A convenient change: prior class-specific quests are skipped if completed on a previous character (requires prior login on the Eternal realm). For example, a Season 7 Rogue needs a prior Rogue character with completed priority quests logged in before starting the new season character. Class power unlocks automatically at 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: 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 use the Raven of the Tree (found in each Headhunt zone) for direct Favor exchange.

Mastering Witchcraft Powers

At the Tree of Whispers, use Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies) to purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers. Prioritize damage upgrades for passive damage boosts. Some powers require Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or with a Draught of Whispers).

Navigating Rootholds

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

Utilizing Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots; they outperform regular gems. Focus on late-game crafting; they require significant Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; increased chance with Draught of Whispers).

Mastering Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

Continue utilizing Pits (for Glyph leveling), Nightmare Dungeons (for Glyphs), and Infernal Hordes (for masterworking materials to enhance Uniques).
