Kicking Off Season 3 Right
So I fired up Diablo right when Season 3 launched. First thing? Made a fresh barbarian character – always barb for fast leveling, you know? Skipped all the cutscenes and useless NPC chatter straight into adventure mode.
My 6 No-Brainer Leveling Tricks
Here’s exactly what I did to hit level 70 in one evening:
- Spammed rifts like crazy – entered Nephalem Rift immediately at level 1. Monsters drop more XP there period. Just cleared trash mobs fast without chasing every elite.
- Ignored loot like cheap candy – only grabbed yellow items until level 60. Seriously, stopping to check gear wastes more time than replacing it later.
- Cranked difficulty to max pain – set to Torment 1 the second I could one-shot enemies. Higher difficulty = insane XP boost, but only if you kill quick.
- Chugged XP potions non-stop – chugged any XP bonus potion I found. They stack with seasonal bonus so I was swimming in XP orbs.
- Equipped gem of ease instantly – slapped that level 25 gem into first decent weapon I found. Who cares about stats when you get +100% XP?
- Leached off high-level friends – joined my buddy’s T16 rift runs at level 40. Got carried hard but shot up 15 levels per run. No shame.
What Actually Worked
By dinner time I’d hit level 60 already. The gem/rift combo gave stupid XP – like watching numbers jump while eating pizza. Almost got kicked when I died three times in friend’s rift but hey, they needed the extra player slot!
Hit 70 right before midnight. Could’ve been faster but took bathroom breaks and yelled at my laggy internet twice. Real talk? Ignoring loot saved tons of time. Season journey basically unlocked itself while I mashed whirlwind button till my finger hurt.
