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 to recruit Mercenaries. Solo players can utilize two, simplifying leveling and combat while building Rapport for enhanced 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. The questline, while short with minor puzzles, primarily involves Headhunt zone Favor farming. This is also the optimal method for reaching 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 benefits from a prior Rogue character's completed quests; class power unlocks automatically upon reaching the required level.

Headhunt Zone Strategies

Focus on completing Whispers within Headhunt zones. Prioritize smaller, denser zones for faster mob farming and Whisper completion. 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).

Mastering Witchcraft Powers

Purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers at the Tree of Whispers using Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies). Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Note: some powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars (found in dungeons, Nightmare Dungeons, Pits, and Rootholds at Torment 1 or higher; Draughts of Whispers increase encounter chances).

Navigating Rootholds

Access Rootholds (new dungeon type) using Whispering Woods (rewards from Whispers and Silent Chests). Similar to Infernal Hordes, Rootholds offer rogue-lite modifiers affecting 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

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 Headhunt Fugitives; Draughts of Whispers increase Head drop chances). Focus on Occult Gems in the late game.

Optimizing 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.
