Leveling up quickly in Diablo 4 is a top priority for many players. With frequent balance changes to the game, pinpointing the fastest leveling method at any given moment can be challenging. This guide will discuss key leveling concepts that will help you progress through different chapters efficiently. As an experienced player with two level 100 characters within 10 days of the season, I have some valuable insights to share. 

• Skip the Campaign for Faster Leveling
• Efficient Dungeon Clearing
• Legion Events for XP
• HellTied for XP and Wealth
• Nightmare Dungeons for XP and Glyph Leveling
• Renown Side Quests and Tree of Whispers
• Difficulty Scaling at Level 60

 

↖ Skip the Campaign for Faster Leveling

Assuming you have already completed the campaign at least once, it is recommended to skip it for subsequent character leveling. Skipping the campaign saves time and allows you to level up faster. Instead, focus on alternative leveling methods.

 

↖ Efficient Dungeon Clearing

Many players have been using dungeons as a primary leveling method. Choose a dungeon with high monster density and quickly clear it. Previously, Champions Demise and Ruins of Eridu were popular choices until they were nerfed. Stay updated with Blizzard's balance changes, as they aim to balance all dungeons. Remember to leave the dungeon swiftly by hitting "E" and then leave the game to reset the dungeon for faster clears.

 

↖ Legion Events for XP

Watch for Legion Events, denoted by a special icon with a progress bar. These events offer substantial XP gains and are considered one of the most efficient ways to level up. While they have limited availability, they prioritize participating in Legion Events when they are active.

 

↖ HellTied for XP and Wealth

Explore HellTied, where monsters are always two levels higher than your character. This ensures higher XP gains and also presents an opportunity to accumulate wealth. HellTied is an excellent way to farm Forgotten Souls, a valuable resource for end-game progression and crafting.

 

↖ Nightmare Dungeons for XP and Glyph Leveling

Once you reach level 50, switch the difficulty to World Tier 3 for better rewards. Nightmare dungeons have become available, and it's advisable to run them consistently. Select a dungeon with a key level equal to your character level minus 54 for comfortable clears. Nightmare dungeons are crucial for leveling up your glyphs, an important power source. Utilize the crafting system to salvage and craft dungeon keys according to your preferences.

 

↖ Renown Side Quests and Tree of Whispers

Renown side quests and the Tree of Whispers are not currently recommended for leveling purposes. The XP and Gold rewards from side quests are negligible, and the Tree of Whispers farming method seems less valuable. Focus on Legion Events, HellTied, and nightmare dungeons for more efficient leveling.

 

↖ Difficulty Scaling at Level 60

Once you reach level 60, aim to complete the Capstone dungeon to reach level 70. Increase the difficulty to Torment for better loot drops. Acquire a powerful Ancestral weapon with a power level of 800 or higher to significantly enhance your character's damage output.

 

Conclusion

Leveling up quickly in Diablo 4 requires a combination of efficient strategies and adapting to balance changes. While specific dungeons and events may change over time, focusing on Legion Events, HellTied, and nightmare dungeons will provide the best leveling experience. Keep an eye on the game's updates and balance changes to stay ahead of the curve. Remember to adjust the difficulty, acquire powerful gear, and level up your glyphs for enhanced performance.
