How to Level
Leveling in Diablo 4 is usually best done in areas with high monster and elite density, on the highest difficulty you can still mostly one-hit kill monsters. To level efficiently, you want to follow these steps:
- Begin on Normal difficulty (or on Hard if Normal proves too easy).
- Start the Seasonal Questline to unlock the Seasonal Reputation Track.
- Complete a Dungeon with a Whisper Bounty for 5 points.
- Farm Helltide up to level 15, earning an additional 5 points toward a Whisper Bounty so you’re ready to cash it in.
- Open Helltide chests only after reaching level 15; opening them earlier won’t grant you Sigil Powder.
- Switch to Penitent difficulty and turn in your Whisper Bounty at the Tree of Whispers.
At this stage, you should have 60 Sigil Powder so you can craft a Nightmare Dungeon (NMD) Sigil at the Occultist. The Whisper Bounty provides 30, and opening Helltide Chests should yield the remaining 30. If you’re short on Sigil Powder from the Helltide Chests, you can complete an open-world Local Event to make up the difference.
- Craft your Nightmare Dungeon Sigil and complete the NMD, receiving another Sigil upon finishing it. Sigils with the Forgotten Wisdom affix are your top priority, though it’s still worthwhile to run NMDs without this affix to keep your character progressing.
- It’s important to note that the Forgotten Wisdom affix causes enemies to drop experience orbs. Because these exp orbs grant significant amounts, it’s usually better to complete Forgotten Wisdom Sigils on lower rather than higher difficulties so you can defeat enemies faster, despite the lower base experience. Therefore, only run these on higher difficulty if it does not take you much longer to clear.
- Continue farming NMDs until approximately level 55. At that point, you can wrap up your leveling by either clearing a few Strongholds outside of the Nahantu region or, if you have plenty of Forgotten Wisdom Sigils, continuing to run those.
- Consider lowering the difficulty if needed to complete Strongholds more efficiently. Most of the experience comes from Stronghold completion itself, which is unaffected by experience boosts.
- Don’t forget to start repeatedly crafting Elixirs at level 10 and Incenses at level 45 and beyond to help speed up your leveling.
It's important to run Elixirs and Incenses at all times. Not only because they increase your Experience gain but also because they provide very strong combat boosts.
For Elixirs you will use Elixir of Advantage II to increase our Attack Speed.
For Incenses you will use Spiral Morning for All Stats , Song of the Mountain for Armor and Soothing Spices for All Resistances and more Armor.
