Acquire Your Pet

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

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. This introduces new mechanics like Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and 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

Previously completed class-specific priority quests transfer between characters. Log in with a pre-existing character (on the Eternal realm) with completed quests, then log in with your new Season 7 character to automatically unlock class power upon reaching the required level.

Headhunt Zone Strategies

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller, denser zones for efficient mob farming and Whisper completion. Always prioritize these Whisper quests:

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

Trade 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers, or utilize the Raven of the Tree (present in each Headhunt zone) for Favor exchange.

Mastering Witchcraft Powers

Use Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies) to purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers. Prioritize damage upgrades. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or more frequently with a Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.

Navigating Rootholds

Access Rootholds using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). These rogue-lite dungeons offer modifiers impacting loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers affect quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilizing Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (superior to regular gems) with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers. These require Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Fugitives; Draught of Whispers increases Head drop chance). Focus on Occult Gems in the late game.

Mastering Pits, Infernal Hordes, and Nightmare Dungeons

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