Diablo 4 Season 5 Leveling Guide

The fastest leveling strategy for Diablo 4 Season 5 can be used by both Solo players and those leveling together with others in a group. While both will have no problem following this strategy, keep in mind that doing so in a group will be faster. This is because in Diablo 4 Season 5, the majority of your time will be spent doing Helltides, which does not scale enemy HP based on the number of players. When you match this with the ability to do more damage quickly when in a group, you can swiftly and more efficiently power through Helltides as a group than a solo player. Here is the best route for the fastest way to Level 100 in Diablo 4 Season 5:

  1. Create a Seasonal Character and start the game on World Tier 2.
  2. Visit the Wardrobe and take out a pet for the Auto Pickup convenience. You get a pet for pre-ordering the Vessel of Hatred expansion.
  3. Pick up the first Seasonal Quest ‘Of Lambs and Wolves’ and complete it.
    • Grab some herbs in the open world while completing this quest so you can craft an Elixir at the Alchemist for the 5% experience buff.
  4. After completing the first Seasonal Quest, begin farming Helltides on repeat.
    • Following each Helltide is a five-minute delay before the next one begins. During this time you will want to complete your Class Quest and update your gear via Tempers. If you have the time, throw in a Dungeon or two that has the Aspects you require for your leveling build to be more efficient.
  5. Continue the Helltides until you reach Level 35-40.
  6. Complete the first Capstone Dungeon to unlock World Tier 3.
  7. Do the next Seasonal Quest, ‘The Eyes of the Enemy’.
  8. Switch to World Tier 3.
  9. Depending on your preference, you have two options for how to continue leveling at this point:
    • Continue doing Helltides
    • Switch to Nightmare Dungeons
  10. Once you reach Level 55-60, Stack Fire Res gear and head into the next Capstone Dungeon and complete it.
  11. Switch to World Tier 4.
  12. Continue doing Helltides or Nightmare Dungeons until Level 80.
  13. At Level 80, switch to doing NIghtmare Dungeons specifically in order to level your Glyphs as well.
  14. Once you reach Level 95 you can also start doing The Pit which is great exp.
  15. At Level 100 finish the remaining Seasonal Quests, optimize your End-Game build, and begin doing Tormented Bosses and The Pit!
