Welcome to Diablo 4 Season of Witchcraft! This guide will provide you with all the tips, strategies, and class-specific leveling guides you need to make the most of Season 7. Whether you're a seasoned player or brand new, this guide has everything to get your journey off to a strong start.
1. Choose Your Class Wisely
While tier lists and meta rankings can be helpful, focus on choosing a class that matches your playstyle:
- If you dislike melee, avoid Rogue even if it's ranked highly.
- Every class benefits from the seasonal witch powers and occult gems, making all of them viable for clearing and farming.
Pro Tip: Play what you enjoy most; power levels will balance out as the season progresses.
2. Early Game Tips (Level 1–15)
Normal or Hard Difficulty
- New Players: Start on Normal to ease into the game.
- Veterans: Consider starting on Hard for slightly faster experience gain. Switch to Hard at level 15 if you're unsure.
Unlock Your Pet
- Activate your pet early to automate material collection and save time.
- Don’t forget to customize your character and mount cosmetics to look your best!
Get Your Mercenaries (Expansion Owners)

- Turn in Pale Marks at the den for extra equipment and materials.
Complete the Campaign
