To level up fast in Diablo Immortal, focus on completing the main story questline first, then grind the highest-difficulty dungeon or Elder Rift you can handle while using experience-boosting items and daily activities. This guide breaks down the most efficient methods, including the Battle Pass, bounties, and party play, so you can reach the level cap as quickly as possible.

Why Leveling Speed Matters

In Diablo Immortal, character level gates most of the endgame content: Helliquary raids, Challenge Rifts, and the Paragon system. Until you reach level 60, you are locked out of the most rewarding activities. After 60, Paragon levels continue to provide power, but the grind changes. Understanding the fastest path to 60 and beyond saves you hours and gets you into the content that drops the best gear.

Core Leveling Methods

Every method below gives experience, but their efficiency varies wildly. The key is to combine them for the best hourly return.

  • Main Story Quests: The single best source of experience per minute until you finish the campaign. They also unlock essential systems like the Horadric Bestiary and Codex.
  • Bounties: Available from the Codex after reaching level 35. Each bounty gives a chunk of experience and you can hold up to 8 at a time. Turn them in at the Bounty Board in Westmarch.
  • Elder Rifts: The most repeatable source of experience and Legendary Gems. Run them on the highest difficulty you can clear quickly. Using Crests increases rewards but is not required for experience.
  • Dungeons: Good for set items and experience, but only if you have a full party. Solo queueing can be slow due to matchmaking.
  • Battle Pass: The free and paid tracks give experience, but the paid track gives a 20% experience bonus. This is a permanent boost, not a temporary one.

The 1-60 Fastest Route

Follow this order for the most efficient leveling:

  1. 1-35: Do nothing but the main story. Skip side quests and exploration. The story gives enough experience to keep you at the right level.
  2. 35-45: Continue the main story, but start doing bounties when they become available. Pick up 8 bounties, do them, turn them in, and repeat. This is faster than pure story in many zones.
  3. 45-55: Mix story quests and Elder Rifts. If you have a party, dungeons are also good. Use any experience gems or items you have.
  4. 55-60: This is the slowest stretch. Run the highest-difficulty Elder Rift you can clear in under 3 minutes. Also do the daily Codex tasks and the Shadow Lottery if you are in a Shadow clan.

Experience Boosts and Buffs

Several in-game systems multiply your experience gains. Stacking them is essential for fast leveling.

  • Battle Pass Bonus: The paid Battle Pass gives a permanent 20% experience boost. This is the single most impactful purchase for leveling speed.
  • Experience Gems: Some Legendary Gems, like the Tourmaline, give a percentage bonus to experience. They are socketed into gear.
  • Codex Tasks: Daily tasks give a large one-time experience reward. Do them every day.
  • Group Play: Playing in a full party of 4 gives a 10% experience bonus. Also, you kill faster, so the effective rate is higher.

Common Mistakes That Slow You Down

Avoid these traps that waste time:

  • Over-leveling zones: If you are 5+ levels above the zone’s monsters, you get reduced experience. Move to the next difficulty or zone.
  • Doing side quests: They give less experience per minute than story or bounties. Skip them unless they are part of a bounty.
  • Solo queueing dungeons: Without a full party, dungeon runs are inefficient. Use the party finder or join a clan.
  • Ignoring the Elder Rift: Many players avoid rifts because they are repetitive, but they are the best repeatable source of experience and gems.

After Level 60: Paragon Grind

Once you hit 60, the goal shifts to Paragon levels. The same methods apply, but now the highest Hell difficulty you can handle becomes the best source. Elder Rifts on Hell I or higher are the fastest. Also, do the weekly Shadow War and the daily raid for bonus experience. The Paragon tree gives permanent stat bonuses, so it is always worth grinding.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest class to level in Diablo Immortal?

Classes with high area damage and mobility, like the Demon Hunter or Wizard, tend to clear packs faster, making them slightly quicker to level. However, the difference is small; any class can level fast with the right methods.

Does the Battle Pass experience boost stack with other boosts?

Yes, the 20% Battle Pass bonus stacks additively with other experience bonuses like gems and group play. The total is applied to all experience gains.

Should I use all my Crests on Elder Rifts while leveling?

Yes, but only if you are running the highest difficulty you can clear quickly. Crests increase the number of runes and gems you get, which speeds up your power growth, but they do not directly increase experience.

Is it faster to level solo or in a group?

In a group, you get a 10% experience bonus and kill faster, so it is almost always faster to level in a full party. The exception is if your group is slow or disorganized.

Can I reach level 60 in one day?

With the paid Battle Pass, a full group, and efficient play, it is possible to reach level 60 in about 8-10 hours of focused play. Without the Battle Pass, it takes longer, usually 12-15 hours.

What is the best way to get experience after level 60?

After 60, the best method is running the highest Hell difficulty Elder Rift you can clear in under 3 minutes. Also, do the daily Codex tasks and the weekly raid for bonus experience.
