You want to reach level 70 quickly in Season 16 of Diablo 3, or speed level? Then follow this leveling guide.
What is it about? In every new season of Diablo 3, players want to reach the maximum level as quickly as possible. We will show you effective ways to reach the maximum level quickly and then fully dive in. Through the methods with massacre bonuses, you can reach level 70 in 2-3 hours. With loot luck, even in less time.
Have you already chosen the right class? These are the best classes in Season 16 of Diablo 3.
How does fast leveling to 70 in Season 16 of Diablo 3 work?
Here’s how you can start: There is the possibility to jump right into the game and start in adventure mode if you want to start leveling immediately. However, many players are now using an alternative method with challenge rifts. It’s up to you which option you choose.
Starting with the challenge portal: After you have created a seasonal character, do not immediately enter adventure mode, but select the challenge portal in the menu. You complete it successfully and will be rewarded with loot. This includes “breath of death,” which you can use to forge powerful weapons, as well as blood shards, which you can exchange with Kadala for armor and weapons.
Keep in mind that you should not have finished the challenge portal this week to receive loot.
Why should you use the challenge portal? The big advantage is that with the blood shards you immediately have the chance for strong gear. Additionally, at level 40, you have enough materials to upgrade the blacksmith and craft a weapon for level 70 with level limitation.
Items from Kadala: Especially interesting for players who start the new season with a challenge portal. You can see which items are available from Kadala starting at level 1 here on D3Planner.com – There you can see at what level it’s worth spending the shards while leveling.
Speed Level Solo Guide for Season 16 with Patch 2.6.4
Level 1-4
- Create a seasonal character
- (Optional) Complete a challenge portal
- Start a game in adventure mode on the master difficulty
- Get the Templar’s weapon in the game
- Also hire the companion right away
- Press F1 or open your inventory with the companions on console and equip any companion. This is important because he collects gold for you
- Now look for a boss bounty
- Ideally the bounty from Zoltun Kull – Maghda or Azmodan are okay too
- Level up on trash to level 2 or 3, defeat the boss, and collect the bounty
Level 4 – 70
- First, adjust your difficulty. It is recommended to start with “Hard”
- Here are various options: Use the Tristram Event or start right away with massacre bonuses
- If you do the Tristram Event first, play through the complete levels and also try to farm massacre bonuses there
- Farm massacre bonuses in the halls of agony level 3 – fields of misery are also doable but recommended at a higher level, about 20
- We will embed a video about the massacre bonuses here in the post. You should consistently try to deal damage to enemies to keep the massacre going
- The larger the massacre bonus is, the more experience points you get for it
- At level 8, craft a 2H axe at the blacksmith for a damage boost
- Craft a new weapon about every 5 levels
- Between levels 10 and 15, visit vendors in town and get rings and an amulet
- They should have “+ damage” affixes
- At level 40, craft a weapon for level 70 at the blacksmith and lower the level requirement – if you have materials for it. This can be done at the mystic.
- With the new weapon, you can then continue to farm massacre bonuses at least on torment 1
- Until level 70, you will level up with the massacre bonuses
In the video from Bluddshed, you will see this leveling method illustrated.
Speed Level Group Guide for Season 16 with Patch 2.6.4
The group guide is not much different from the solo guide. The biggest change is that you primarily level up in Nephalem Rifts.
Level 1-7
- Start a game on master
- Grab the weapons of the companions
- Split up the various tasks of the bounty in Act 1
- Complete the bounty to receive plans for the Cain’s / Born’s set
- At level 8, go to town and craft a 2H axe at the blacksmith
Level 8-70
- As a group, now begins your fun in Nephalem Rifts
- So here’s a time-saving tip: Just before the Rift boss appears, one player from the group should teleport back to town. He should close the portal as quickly as possible. In the time between 2 portals, you can craft better gear. A new weapon is worth it about every 5 levels
- At level 40, you should go back to town and craft a weapon.
- As in the solo guide, choose a level 70 weapon here
- You can lower the level requirement by 30 levels at the blacksmith
- The required breaths of death can be earned when you successfully complete the challenge rift
- Then continue playing in Nephalem Rifts until you reach level 70
General Level Tips for Diablo 3 Season 16
- Use red gems for head armor pieces to gain more experience points
- Keep an eye out for cursed chests – such events provide a lot of XP
- Armor pieces with increased movement speed make leveling even faster
- Especially in the early levels, it is important to get close to enemies just before leveling up. The explosion triggered at the level-up deals a lot of damage to enemies early on.
- Save Bovine Bardiches and Puzzle Rings so that you can activate them at level 70 and higher torment levels.
