The latest (and possibly greatest) Diablo 4 season is a little over a day away! Loot Reborn bringing the fastest way to maximum level in the game so far with its many XP improvements. Coupled with our leveling guide, you will be getting to 100 extremely quickly.
GhazzyTV wrote up our speed leveling guide for Season 4, which you can find here, and here are 3 key takeaways for leveling in the new season.
Did Leveling Change in Season 4?
Season 4 will bring many improvements and cut down plenty of time in the leveling department. First off, experience gains have been increased as much as 50% in all World Tiers except No.1. Secondly, events in dungeons are now more worth-while, as they have also had their XP gains buffed. So don’t skip those when you’re in a dungeon! And as a final bonus, there are now rank 2 elixirs, which increase XP gains by 8%. This can be relevant for the later levels.
Are Helltides the Place to Level in Season 4?
In short: absolutely. Season 4 is very much the Helltide season, as there have been many changes to it. There’s significantly increased mob density via the new Threat system, with more and more enemies attacking you as you gain more threat. At the maximum threat level, you will be ambushed by a maximum enemy density group, with a boss at the end.
Helltides are the way to go early, as they now appear in World Tiers 1 and 2 as well. Once you arrive in WT3, you’ll want to split your attention between the tides and Nightmare Dungeons. At WT4 your focus should mostly be on the dungeons, due to Paragon Glyph experience. Here’s a snippet from our guide on the subject:
“Depending on your skill, level, build and/or party you’re playing with, you may end up having a better leveling efficiency through Helltides over Nightmare dungeons. If this is the case you should always have Helltide as a fallback for gear upgrading and material collection, as the Nightmare dungeons provide you with Glyph experience that will boost your power significantly!”
When Should I Do the Level 70 Capstone Dungeon and Go for WT4?
This question is always extremely connected to the power of your current build and gear you’ve managed to collect. While certain very powerful builds can take the dungeon on as early as around level 50, you should probably wait until at least 60 so you don’t waste time. It takes a while to get to the boss, and while you could get there with a weaker build, he may prove too much for you and then you’ll have to re-clear it all once you return. Elias can be tricky!
Those are the basics, now you can head on over to our full step-by-step leveling guide. It takes you through the World Tier progression and when to do the individual Capstones, when to move to Nightmare Dungeons, how to split your time between them and Helltide, and plenty more.
