↖ Step 1: World Tier 2 Start (Levels 1-15)

Now when reading that you might be surprised. Starting in World Tier 2 is commonly known as a noob trap but with minions, Blood Surge and Overpower; You can skip past the increased toughness of enemies while benefiting from the 20% bonus XP. Focusing on Tree of Whisper quests, each enemy killed grants an additional 20% XP. Use summons and Corpse Explosion to handle even +5 Whisper dungeons.

↖ Step 2: PvP Area and Skeletal Mages (Levels 15-25)

Skeletal Mages will unlock at level 15. Continue focusing on Whisper quests and at level 18; Move into the PvP area to fight the boss there. She gives significant XP boost and is surprisingly easy with your skeletal minions.

↖ Step 3: Golem Time! (Levels 25-34)

At level 25 start using golem which acts as a meat shield while your Skeletal Mages generate Essence. This time period is crucial for smooth leveling in Whisper dungeons without the monotony of Domhainne Tunnels.

↖ Step 4: Capstone Dungeon and No Minion Any More Phase (Level 34)

Level 34 is a turning point where you'll need to repurpose skill points as you phase out minions for more direct damage skills. Capstone dungeon is your target and with right skill rotation and itemization it's manageable

↖ Step 5: World Tier 3 Strategies (Levels 35-42)

In world tier three focus on strongholds, Legion events for big XP and Diablo 4 Gold gains quickly level up. Strongholds are particularly useful as they match your level but offer higher-tier rewards.

↖ Skill Rotation and Build Optimization

Your skill rotation is key here. Starting with blood based abilities like Blood Surge and Hemorrhage then transitioning into corpse based skills like Corpse Explosion. Optimize your skeletal minions for sturdiness and damage in the beginning stages then gradually shift towards more overpower focused skills as you approach Capstone dungeon.

↖ Items and Aspects

Don't overlook Codex of Powers for beneficial aspects. Early on focus on aspects that enhance your minions and blood abilities. As you progress shift towards aspects that increase your personal damage output and survivability.

↖ Level 60 and Beyond: Ancestral Gear and Nightmare Dungeons

Once you hit level 60 it's time to gear up with Ancestral gear and tackle Nightmare Dungeons 21+ in World Tier 4. Hopefully all the preparation will pay off in these dungeons because they offer the best rewards which will prepare you for end game content.
