For players who haven’t been following Diablo 4 previously, if your character was at level 60, defeating a level 80 enemy would have netted you the XP of that level 70 enemy. 

But now, you will get the XP you would generally get upon defeating a level 80 enemy. With that being out of the way, here’s how to level up fast in Diablo 4 Season 5.

First of all, as soon as you start your new character in the Seasonal Realm, talk to Locran at the Zarbinzet to start the Seasonal Quest and unlock the NPC, Mother’s Triune Istel, where you can submit Mother’s Gifts and claim rewards, including gear, a ton of XP, new side quests and such.

While at it, don’t forget to unlock and upgrade the Urn of Aggression using Smoldering Ashes to maximize the XP gain from monsters.

That being out of the way, if you keep doing the Seasonal Quest and farming Helltide events, where you can also fight Elite enemies to get Mother’s Gift, you will be able to reach level 100 in around five hours or so.

To make things easier for you, here are the activities that you must focus on to get from level 1 to 100 in no time:

  • Level 1-45: Seasonal Quests and Helltide event
  • Level 45: Complete the capstone dungeon and change the World Tier
  • Level 45-60: Helltide event (Use Profane Mindcages for better XP farm)
  • Level 60-100: NMDs, Infernal Horde, Helltide, and other end-game activities, or just keep farming Helltide

That sums up our guide on how to level up fast in Diablo 4 Season 5.
