Discover the fastest ways to level up in Diablo IV. Learn about mob killing, questing, potions, group content, world events, and higher world tiers for rapid progression.

The main bulk of experience in Diablo 4 comes from a few scenarios: mob killing, questing, potions, group content, world events, and higher world tiers.

In terms of mob killing, if you can efficiently farm mob packs to get XP, you can level up quickly. This is very common in mob dense dungeons, especially those with elites. You can find more detailed information on mob farming in the best Diablo 4 XP Farms.

Meanwhile, the main story and side quest questions are solid experience. The main quest especially is really good, as you can get lots of XP, fight strong bosses, and collect items that also award XP. However, if you’re a melee player, you will have issues fighting some bosses, so it's recommended to stay clear of higher world tier bosses until you’re much better geared and have legendaries and better skill points.

The other thing that players can easily do is use their herbs to make potions at the alchemist. Herbs are very easy to come by in Diablo 4’s open world. Some of these herbs are common in large field areas, so pick as many up on your travels and find a solid potion you can use to get XP. Creating these potions awards players buffs to their character, such as Thorns, and an experience boost for 30 minutes.

The other main thing you can do to get experience is to interact with players. Go and do some dungeons, world events, or quests with other players if you can. If you do, you will notice you can get up to a 10% experience bonus, especially if they are in your party. So, find a reliable partner to go farming with and get even more XP than you normally would solo.

World Events also offer quick flashes of experience and loot. These events typically are only a few minutes long and will pull lots of enemies to the location of the event. They are also obvious to other players in the area or looking at the map. Opening the map will also reveal them in a red marked area. Chances are this will attract other players too, which will grant the nearby player XP bonus.

Lastly, you have world tiers. While you’re in a higher world tier, you will encounter stronger enemies. Below level 50, you have tier 1 and tier 2. Playing on Tier 2 awards an extra 20% increased experience, while tier 3 for level 50 players awards 100% experience gains, while the fourth world tier awards 200% additional experience for level 70’s. Therefore, when you know your build is fit and ready for these playstyles, you may then attempt to take on these world tiers and gain even more experience when you enter the threshold.

Diablo 4 fast level in Dungeons tactic

Resetting dungeons will allow you to repeatedly farm an area you know you can smash through for efficient exp gains.

Throughout the world, you will come across dungeons to explore. These instances serve as instances that a player or a party can enter. They’ll find large spaces with lots of enemies, and you can fly through these dungeons, destroy packs, and reset the dungeon in no time at all.

Press M to open your map and then press Q to check the dungeon, and you can reset the dungeon. This will allow you to go back into the dungeon and clear it again. Once your bags are full, teleport out of the dungeon using your town portal, sell up, and then return back to the dungeon to farm the same dungeon repeatedly efficiently. Do this in a higher world tier, exp flasks used, and in a party can generate onwards of 35% bonus exp before level 50. Therefore, that’s a lot of experience you can farm.

Fast Alt Leveling in Diablo 4

Lastly, it’s worth mentioning that if you are playing an alt, and already have a progressed character, then you get benefits from account-wide progression. Throughout the world are Lillith statues, which grant permanent buffs to your account. Spend some time getting these on your main so your new alts have stronger powers for starting the game, so they can get even better effects for speeding through leveling.

In addition, there is the renown system, which awards players with account and character-specific boosts. These typically are additional skill points, which means you can get even more skills and buffs to your new character's build way before your first character could. The result is that you will smash through early levels a lot easier than your first experience.
