Choose the right difficulty level

After creating your character in Diablo 4, you can choose from two difficulty levels: Adventurer and Veteran. It is worth noting here that the second difficulty level is not much different from the first one, and it provides, among other things, 20% more XP, which will speed up character leveling . You can change the difficulty level later during the game.

You can read more about this on the Difficulty Levels page.

Check out the skill tree

Each character class available in Diablo 4 has its own skill tree, which is divided into segments. Access to the next skill segments is unlocked by spending skill points in the tree. Importantly, you don't have to spend points in all unlocked categories, so focus only on those abilities that will be important for your character's build .

Decide on one primary skill

In Diablo 4 , you can choose between many skills, and some of them are related to a specific type of weapon. The primary skill is really your character's normal attack, so you should focus on one and level it up if you feel it's necessary.

Of course, you can experiment, especially at the beginning of the game, because up to the 15th level of experience you can change your skills for free.

Compare found items

As you play Diablo 4, you'll find plenty of items. Especially at the beginning, it's important to check your inventory on a regular basis and replace items with better ones, especially weapons . Don't forget to check item effects - sometimes a few extra points of defense is not worth losing a useful effect from the currently used item.

You compare items by hovering over the selected item and pressing Shift (PC), Triangle (PS) or Y (Xbox).
