Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe. Claim your pet! While combat-ineffective, pets retrieve gold and materials, significantly reducing downtime. 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, easing combat and leveling. Cultivate Rapport for additional rewards.

Conquer the Seasonal Questline

Begin on Normal difficulty and follow the green leaf-marked seasonal questline. This introduces new mechanics: Headhunt zones, Grim Favors for the Tree of Whispers, and Witch powers. While short, it features puzzles and primarily involves Headhunt zone Favor farming. This is the optimal method to reach level 60. Repeatedly defeat Headhunt zone bosses, collect Favors, and upgrade Witch powers concurrently.

Unlock Class Power

Previously completed class-specific priority quests are now automatically unlocked. Simply log in with a pre-existing character (on the Eternal realm) who has completed these quests, then log in with your new Season 7 character. Class power unlocks upon reaching the required level.

Dominate Headhunt Zones

Focus on Whispers within Headhunt zones. Four are active simultaneously; 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. Alternatively, utilize the Raven of the Tree found in each Headhunt zone.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

Purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage upgrades. Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher, or via Draught of Whispers) offer unique Witch powers.

Explore Rootholds

Access Rootholds (new dungeon type) using Whispering Wood (obtained from Whispers and Silent Chests). Similar to Infernal Hordes, Rootholds offer rogue-lite modifiers impacting loot quality. Open Exposed Roots for loot; modifiers influence quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot.

Utilize Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (superior to regular gems) with Gelena at the Tree of Whispers using Restless Rot and Heads (from Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; Draught of Whispers increases Head drop chances). Focus on Occult Gems in the late game.

Master 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.
