Diablo 4 1-50-100 Leveling Guide: What To Do After Campaign At 50 & How To Get To Endgame

Diablo 4 is out, everyone is blasting the game and might keep getting the same questions over and over. In particular about how to progress to level 100 efficiently and what to do after a campaign in Diablo 4. So we can answer that in this D4 1-100 leveling guide.

Diablo 4 1-50-100 Leveling Guide - How To Reach Level 100 Fast & Easy In D4

There are definitely some things you can do better or worse if you want to try to be efficient to reach level 100 in Diablo IV. You have to finish the campaign when you start the first character. You have to do the campaign once and cannot progress to the higher difficulties if you have not finished it. This is the main objective, so when you start out with a character, you will focus mostly on the Act 1 campaign, Act 2, etc. You can do it in the orders if you want for the early Acts. But generally, you want to go Act by Act, 1-4 all the way to the end. As you go the minimum levels of the zones will increase. The lower world tiers monsters have a vastly different minimum level. Now, in this Diablo IV 1-100 endgame guide, we talk about what to do after the campaign and how to get to the endgame. 

Diablo 4 1-50 Leveling Guide

It starts at level 1 in FrActured Peaks, Scosglen is level 10 to 15, and then Dry Stepps is level 20 to 25 and then you have Kehjistan in 30 to 40 and Hawezar in 40 to 45. It increases like this and you go all the way around the world. The thing is that if you play only through the campaign. You will be under-leveled and it might become quite difficult later. You don't want to be under leveled by too much because bosses are going to get hard, the fights are slow, or you might not even be able to do it. So you can do some side content while doing this. 

Doing Renown

In particular, we recommend doing the first Renown objective in each of the regions at the very least. If you press Renown, we have the first skill point that you get only 200 renown that you have to unlock which is not very much. You get a lot from the altars of Lilith, side dungeon or stronghold and the waypoints. They give a lot of renown. So you get the first skill point almost by default and you can't even think about getting their second or even the third renown in a region. The second is quite nice for the potion at least early in the progression. You do rely on potions quite a lot so it may be worth picking up one or two potion slots. Then you get another skill point at renown 3. For the most part, you want to level your renown equally in each of the regions. Because the first rewards are very easy to get and they're also more powerful than later rewards and this also ties into the strategy that you're going to continue later after the Campaign in Diablo 4 which is going for the full Renown completion.

Diablo 4 50-100 Leveling Guide & What To Do At 50

1. Nightmare Dungeons

Once you are around level 40, 45, and 50, you will have completed the campaign and then it's time to go Nightmare difficulty. You can just go to difficulty 2 in the world, then you have the Capstone dungeon that you have to finish which is in Kyovashad. Nightmare starts at 50 and goes to 70 and then you have Torment 70 plus, so this is where you're going to spend most of your progression. In general, you want to advance to the higher difficulty as soon as possible if you can handle it. Because it offers higher XP, monsters give 100% increased experience, up from 20% or zero from the first two difficulties. On Torment, you have 200% bonus XP so you get massively more experience for monsters of the same level just by being in the higher difficulties. 

2. Items

On top of this, you can also find more items so there's unique items that starts dropping. There's even more unique in Torment, you also have the sacred items and ancestral items that gets a pretty massive power spike immediately once they drop. So even though a Nightmare has 50 to 70, you can go there earlier and you can find sacred items that don't require level 50. The best way to profit or from those high difficulties especially early when you are still under leveled and weak is to do either strongholds. Because strongholds Actually override the minimum level of monsters, they are always plus 2 of your character. Even if you're level 40, you go into Nightmare difficulty and the stronghold monsters will be 42 instead of 53, so they are much easier. But monsters below 50 cannot drop sacred items. At the very least though you can profit from the higher XP and gold values.

3. Outdoor Contents

Another thing you can do after at level 50 in Diablo 4 is easy outdoor content. So outdoor content is generally easier than dungeons and especially Nightmare dungeons. You want to stay away from those while you are really underload and really under geared. Instead just focus on those quests, they help you with the renown as well, they give you some rewards, portions and items to bring you closer to the goal of finishing the renown. So side quests and strongholds are the easiest content to do and you can combine this with the waypoints and the altars. You don't have to do every single side quest usually 10-15 per region is fine. 

4. Renown

Especially once you enter a Nightmare difficulty, you want to fully focus on renown all the way until you have done everything. You want to collect those skill points, paragon points later and they give you a pretty decent power spike and it will help you all the way from there to level 100 and beyond basically. So you want to do the renown at some point because it's free character power. Character power is limited in this game so you want to try to get as much as you can. There are two different strategies here:

-If you focus on only one character, you want to level all of the regions equally. So you start with Renown one everywhere, then Renown 3 everywhere and then Renown 5 everywhere. The reason for that is that these have the biggest power spikes so the skill points are good and then later Paragon points the almost is useless and the portion is also not that impActful in the late game.

-If you level a lot of different characters or if you want to start an alt, you want to change your strategy. You Actually want to fully finish region by region instead. The reason for that is that you do have this shared renowned progression on your account. But if you unlock Renown 4 on one character and you start another character, you start at zero again. In order to get those paragon points at the end, you will have to go through the entire renown system again in that region on your second character. So you want to finish it up region by region, so you can play your one character to finish the entire  Scosglenfor example and then you start a second character and you finish the entire FrActure Peaks and Hawezar. Maybe you start a third one and then you do Dry Stepps and Kehjistan. Then this is the way to go because otherwise, you will never finish your Renown anywhere.

5. World Boss

There are also some in-game Activities at level 50 in Diablo 4. The world bosses pop up here and there, so you can just go there and get a few legendaries. It's nice to do, nothing really crazy but it can help you with some loots.  

6. Helltide

There's also the Helltide, this is a very useful in-game Activity to gear up. You can use souls to upgrade your items to rank 5 at the blacksmith in the jeweler and you can also reroll stats on the occultist. That is quite worth it because of Golden Souls which you can only get there. Whenever you want to kind of take a break from the Renown grind, you can go there and sometimes you can even combine Helltidewith doing side quests. It doesn't Actually disable side quests in that area so if you have some side quests around this area, you can kind of do both at the same time. 

7. Dungeons

Lastly, we have the Nightmare dungeons, so you get those sigils here. The first sigil acquired are from the Whispers, so you have to do the Tree of Whispers objectives with the Green Favors and they will give you some of those sigils and then you can start blasting. You have to do at least a tier 3 ancestral sigil crafting and salvaging. Either you grind the way up through those first Nightmare dungeons or even better you start Nightmare dungeons. If you go to Torment difficulty and those Nightmare sigils will start at level 21 because you have Sacred here, this is 1 to 20, a Nightmare difficulty. Then you have Torment difficulty 21 to 100. It's also just much more worth it doing those Nightmare dungeons when you're doing a higher tier. It's always best to run dungeons that are plus minus 50 levels below your character, the monsters are slightly above you up to 3 levels. This means that if you want to level efficiently, you can't really just stay on those easy and tier 20 dungeons, you have to move on to its Torment difficulty eventually after around level 70. 

Once you reach that point and once you have done the second Capstone dungeon and you are in Torment difficulty, you will focus on those Nightmare Dungeons quite a lot. So you level up your glyphs you can enable them to up to 21, they become 5 times as powerful as they were at the start. So glyphs Actually just get a massive power boost from being leveled. Especially at level 15, you have this breakpoint where you had to increase in radius and then you can start filling out your Paragons, you can start putting those clips and you can benefit from this massive power spike later.  From that point, it's basically smooth sailing all the way to level 100, but it is quite a long grind. So you can do Nightmare Dungeons over and over. This is the best XP farm for solo players. For group players, if you want to speed it up, you can be multiple times faster than a solo player by for example running Champion's Demise.
