Acquire Your Pet

Upon launching Diablo 4 Season 7, immediately visit the nearest town's Wardrobe to claim your pet. While combat-ineffective, your pet efficiently gathers 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 fostering Rapport for extra 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 Witch powers. While relatively short, it features puzzles and primarily involves Headhunt zone Favor farming. This is also the optimal method for reaching 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) of the same class before starting your Season 7 character. Your class power unlocks upon reaching the necessary level.

Master Headhunt Zones

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

• Fugitive Shepherd: Easily completed by escorting animals.
• Fugitive: Requires recovering a head or destroying a husk; activated by defeating Elites and interacting with roots.

Exchange 10 Grim Favors for a cache at the Tree of Whispers. Note that a Raven of the Tree spawns in each Headhunt zone, offering an alternative Favor exchange point.

Harness Witchcraft Powers

At the Tree of Whispers, utilize Restless Rot (obtained by killing Rot enemies) to purchase and upgrade Witchcraft powers. Prioritize damage-boosting powers. Certain powers require interacting with Forgotten Altars found in dungeons (regular, Nightmare, Pits, Rootholds at Torment 1) or by using a Draught of Whispers.

Explore Rootholds

Rootholds (accessed using 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 affect root quantity and quality. Save Roothold keys for Torment 1 for optimal Ancestral loot acquisition.

Utilize Occult Gems

Craft Occult Gems (via Gelena at the Tree of Whispers) for jewelry slots; they outperform regular gems. Crafting is expensive, requiring Restless Rot and Heads (dropped by Roothold bosses and Headhunt Fugitives; increased chance with Draught of Whispers).

Tackle 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.
