Use Elixirs and Mercenaries

Elixirs grant a 5% XP boost while exploring Headhunt Zones, so Diablo 4 Items always have them active to maximize your XP gain.

If you're playing solo, hire a Mercenary to increase survivability and speed up boss kills, especially in tougher areas.

Play at Normal Difficulty Up to Level 50

Normal difficulty grants 75% additional XP from monster kills, which makes it the best difficulty for leveling until you hit level 50. Stick to this difficulty to speed up your progress.

Switch to Expert or Penitent Difficulty After Level 50

Once you reach level 50, you can start tackling Expert or Penitent difficulty, provided you have a solid build. Higher difficulty levels will provide more XP per kill and more difficult enemies to defeat.

Experiment with Effective Builds

Some classes and builds are stronger for leveling. For example:

Chain Lightning Sorcerer

Barrage Rogue

These builds are great for clearing large groups of enemies quickly. The Armory feature allows you to save up to 5 different builds, so you can experiment with different strategies to find the one that works best for buy Diablo 4 gold you.
