If you're new to Diablo 4 or struggling to make progress after completing the campaign, you're not alone. As a level 85 Bone Spear Necromancer, I've learned some valuable lessons that can help you break through the early-game grind and push into the endgame content.
The first step is to blitz through the campaign. Don't get bogged down by side quests; just focus on completing the main story. By finishing Act 6, you'll unlock access to Nightmare difficulty, a key milestone in Diablo 4. From here, your next goal should be to maximize your Renown in each of the five regions. Completing Renown tasks gives you rewards that significantly boost your character's power, and this unlocks the ability to skip the campaign with new characters, allowing you to power-level them faster.
Once you're in the Nightmare Dungeons, it's all about farming Diablo 4 items. These dungeons are where the real grind begins. You'll be farming high-level gear and upgrading your Paragon Board, all while hunting for powerful Diablo 4 Items like Sacred gear. Sacred items are your best bet at this stage and will outshine regular gear as you progress further. Make sure to optimize your build and gear, focusing on key stats that will boost your offensive and defensive capabilities.
