Complete the campaign

The initial goal is to complete the story as quickly as possible in order to unlock all world activities, increased difficulty and access to the campaign for new characters. Not counting the prologue and epilogue, the campaign consists of 6 acts, each of which can be completed in 2-4 hours, depending on the player's experience.

A separate article provides detailed Diablo 4 interactive map, which will make it easier to find points of interest, chests, world bosses, events, and collectibles.

Opening Aspects

Unlocking aspects grants powerful legendary effects to the equipment of all player characters. All available and received aspects can be viewed through Power Code. To get new aspects, you need to go through the available dungeons.

Each specific dungeon can bring specific aspects, so from the very beginning of the game you should decide for which class and under what characteristics you should get the first aspects in order to facilitate further pumping.

Opening the altars of Lilith

Finding and interacting with the altars of Lilith bring all the heroes on the gamer's permanent additional bonuses:

• Attribute points.
• Improvement Points.
• Increase the maximum number of obols.

It is important to have time to receive the listed awards before the start of the new season. Altars of Lilith do not appear on the map until activated by the character, so they are not so easy to find. Shown in a separate guide location of all Lilith altars.

Opening progress region

The progress of the region is essentially a leveling fame in available locations, which is similar to increasing reputation in other similar games. For performing various activities in the Eastern Lands, the character will receive points that increase the progress of the region. These activities include:

• Finding waypoints.
• Completion of the Fortresses.
• Discovery of the altars of Lilith.
• First playthrough of each dungeon.
• Studying locations.
• Side quests.

Leveling the progress of a region in Diablo IV will bring permanent bonuses for all heroes on the : skill points, improvement points, an increase in the maximum number of obols, additional potions.

Random events

Special activities take place at random times in certain locations in the Eastern Lands. These random events in Diablo 4 can be divided into three groups, depending on their localization:

• World – are scattered around the world and have additional objectives, the completion of which will bring an increased reward.
• regional - have a fixed location, and the difficulty scales with the level of the character, so you can get more valuable rewards for them.
• Zonal - the most difficult events that, unlike the others, cannot be completed alone.

Such activities offer the player various tasks, for the completion of which you can get gold, equipment and other standard rewards, but in addition to them, the character will be able to receive a special currency - obols. These special tokens can be exchanged with Curiosity dealers on items of equipment, and the reward is issued with random rarity and with random properties.

You cannot participate in the same random event multiple times in a row, because they have a certain cooldown, however, these activities can be reset and restarted by connecting to the worlds of other players or using movement through distant waypoints.

Secondary quests

Additional quests in Diablo IV are mainly for leveling up progress of the region and receive corresponding bonuses for it. Otherwise, the rewards for secondary missions are not particularly valuable, and the amount of experience gained, although not bad, is far inferior to other methods pumping.

It is also worth considering that many tasks are completed for a long time and more time will have to be spent on useless running around. However, there are a few situations where completing additional quests is necessary:

• If you started a new game for a character, while skipping the main campaign, then the hero can be upgraded to level 10-20 using side missions.
• Leveling the progress of the region in late stage
• On rare occasions, secondary missions may temporarily replace some dungeons during leveling, if the gamer is very tired of the same type of farm of the same corridors.
• You can just find out more details about the lives of ordinary people for more immersion and understanding of the game world.

In other cases, it is better to devote free time to other activities, which can bring more experience and more valuable rewards.

If pumping occurs after skipping the campaign, then for reaching Level 45-50 You can also use the dungeonsAnika's claims" and "Rimescar Cave. Good loot and a lot of gold in the early stages of the game can also be obtained in other places:

1. Dead man's dredge - located south of the fortress of Malnok.
2. mercy limit - located northwest of Kor Dragan Fortress.

2. Solo can farm the same dungeons that were recommended for the early game: Anika's Claim, Rimescar Cave, Dead Man's Dredge, Mercy's Limit.

Use experience potions

У alchemists in you can open and create special elixirs that increase the experience gained for killing enemies for a limited time. These potions are easy to make, so do not neglect them. They are especially valuable at the start of pumping.

Get a campfire buff

The effect is cumulative, so the longer the hero rests near the fire, the longer the buff will last. You can get access to such bonfires during random world events, as well as in some Fortresses.

Play in a group with other players

If the character is in a group with other gamers, then a permanent buff to the experience gained will be active, which will significantly speed up pumping, especially at high levels.

Kill mobs efficiently

Most of the time spent on leveling a character is spent clearing the same dungeons, as well as killing thousands of monsters. Every mob encountered along the way must be destroyed in order to gain additional experience. At the same time, it is important to understand that collecting individual enemies in packs and eliminating immediately large groups of opponents much more efficient. So always prioritize mob clusters and don't spray on single targets.

Clear Fortresses

Strongholds represent a special type of activity that allows you to create an additional settlement with merchants after completing related tasks, gain access to new activities, and also collect additional rewards. In total in the Eastern lands there are 15 Strongholds - 3 for each location. As soon as the level of the character allows you to clear the open Fortress, then this must be done without delay.

Complete quests from the Tree of Whispers

At the end of the first playthrough of the story campaign, the Tree of Whispers will open for all characters in the Sanctuary at the location Havezar. This is one of the activities for heroes who want to complete additional tasks and receive valuable rewards.

After getting to know the tree, players will begin to see Whisper quests on the map, the completion of which accumulates special points. Each accumulated ten can be exchanged at the Tree of Whispers for additional experience for the character, as well as a choice of a valuable cache, inside of which there are random items of equipment.

Hell Rush

Infernal Rush will only be available in Diablo 4 on world level 3. At its core, this event temporarily (about an hour) increases the influence of demons in a certain area of ​​the Eastern Lands, spawning deadly opponents. It appears randomly, so look at the map so as not to miss it.
