Achieving level 70 in Diablo 4 Season 14 can be accomplished in a matter of hours through a focused approach utilizing the War Plan system and efficient Helltide farming. This method, detailed by players like Wudijo and P4wnyhof, prioritizes specific Helltide and Undercity skill tree unlocks to maximize experience gain.
The core strategy involves two distinct phases. The first, lasting approximately one hour, is dedicated to unlocking essential perks. The second phase focuses on actively farming enemies that yield significant experience orbs. A prerequisite for this method is having completed the 'Lord of Hatred' campaign, allowing players to skip the campaign during character creation.
Unlocking Essential Perks
The initial step requires players to level up the Helltide skill tree to level two by completing War Plans. While the activities within War Plans are randomized, prioritizing 'Kurast Undercity' if Helltide activities are scarce is recommended. The key skills to unlock are:
- Hellmouth (Helltide - level one)
- Writhe and Rot (Helltide - level two)
- Jade Epiphany (Undercity - level one)
The 'Writhe and Rot' perk is crucial as it causes Hellwyrms to release experience-granting maggots. Similarly, 'Jade Epiphany' provides experience orbs whenever an Attunement level is gained in the Undercity.
To efficiently unlock these perks, players should gather the necessary Aberrant Cinders for Helltide activities on 'Normal' difficulty without opening chests. Afterward, changing the difficulty to 'Penitent' allows players to open chests and complete Helltide activities, rewarding 43 War Plan points each upon speaking with Tyrael. This process should be repeated until the Helltide skill tree reaches level two. For Undercity runs, there is no need to change difficulty; the focus remains on acquiring the 'Jade Epiphany' perk by reaching four Attunement levels.
Farming Hellwyrms and Undercity
Once the required perks are unlocked, the focus shifts to farming. Players should cease completing War Plans and concentrate on Helltides, with optional Undercity runs. In Undercity, the objective is to consistently gain four Attunement levels for experience orbs.
The primary experience source becomes Hellwyrms in Helltides. Their spawn locations are fixed and can be tracked using the Helltides Event Timer website. Players should establish a route that covers multiple known spawn areas to maximize encounters. Before commencing the hunt, setting the difficulty to 'Hard' is recommended for easier clearing of Hellwyrm's spawned enemies. It is also necessary to fill the Helltide bar approximately two-thirds full to trigger Hellwyrm spawns.
Upon reaching the required Helltide bar progress, players can travel to marked locations on the Helltides Event Timer map. If a Hellwyrm appears, defeat its spawned enemies, collect the dropped experience orbs, and then proceed to the next potential spawn location. Following this strategy consistently can lead to reaching level 70 in approximately two to four hours.
