love your creations, watch them religiously. question though, did you run a poll of how many people did not upgrade to the expansion AND still need a leveling guide? you do so much work as is, doesn't it seem redundant to cover leveling content sans expansion? i'm very curious to see real numbers of how many players in game are non-expansion players two weeks into s6. bet on low if none at all. thank you.
You know for as much as this guy critiques the game (and rightfully so) the amount of time and effort he puts on it is simply commendable. Thanks so much. There are some UA-camrs who just shit on this game, there are a few like rax, wudi, maxroll team who actually critique it with hopes of devs improving and making it better. Constructive criticism is what the devs need. Well done and thank you rax. Can’t wait for this expansion!
Well, D4 has improved very much from its release. The end game keeps getting better. I like having things to do after getting my character up and equipped with Mythic gear.
@@oldmanfunky4909 i wish they hadn't made game mechanics avaliable to a purchasable dlc in the next season. this made me delete and wait for PoE2 november release.
Wudi? Wudi is a loyal fanboy to Blizzard. Not saying he doesn't critique the game but when he does it's very light criticism. Rax will just outright say that current D4 is bad and needs to be changed.
@@theobell2002 then you have never seen his streams, if you ever watch his build crafting streams, he rips into their limited theory crafting potential. and even in his uploaded videos, he does critique the game pretty often and pretty fairly. I guess it's subjective and youre entitled to your opinion.
Worth noting that Nightmare Dungeons also have "XP wells" that give you 15% bonus XP for an hour. If these are common enough, you might wanna hit up an NMD or two on your alts to stack it with your seasonal elixirs.
Here’s the biggest takeaway for me: Do Strongholds in normal difficulty at level 48-50, completing all of them will get you to level 60. (meaning don’t do it early otherwise you “wasted” the HP boosts for your first Stronghold clears)
I know it’s fast but this is the rare opportunity you get a new class to level through the entire campaign which is absolutely incredible. I’ll be taking class through the entire campaign again.
hey raxx, will you make a raid guide? In my opinion you are the best at explaining things. Other youtubers just rush through the explanation and i cant quite make sense because english is not my native language.
I've always loved & followed your guides since D3 & you never fail to be on point! Keep up the amazing work & chomping down on those Chipotle burritos!
Hey @raxxanterax, should we set the home portal to Zimbabwe? I seem to recall we can pick our home portal this expansion?? I couldn't see this on your spreadsheet
Good job raxx as always. Unfortunately I will be skipping season 6 and playing eternal realm as I cant get the dlc at the moment and I feel I will miss most of season 6 without the dlc which is dissapointing.
If you go straight to the realm walker at level 1, you won't have the materials you need to trade for the opals. I made that mistake and had to go farm some materials first.
Quick PSA: Even right now, pre S6, you can skip the base campaign if you have never completed it before. I gifted the game to two friends who absolutely hate doing dialogue/story and the like and they were able to just hit skip campaign anyway.
to do the VoH campaign, i have to do it on a spiritborn or can i can lvl as a sorc in Nahantu campaign? u said many times "on a spiritborn" thats why i´m asking :) - btw great guide !
Hey rax I’m just starting this season a little late and want to know what you mean by “stay on normal until you get your class mechanic?” Is our class mechanic out ultimates? Or key passive? Some clarity will help a casual like me understand
Hey Raxx do you have any leveling builds for the spiritborn class yet? Is the eagle feathers build the best for that or possibly the poison build that everyone loved in the PTR?
Interestingly, I never even tried normal and went straight to hard. With a sorc (which is my main) I never really had a problem. Had a few dangerous situations but after trying that I would never recommend normal to anyone except a newcomer to D4 (at least on with sorc). Also, don't have the expac yet, but so far decent enough, grinding on T2.
During the PTR, most streamers, and I think even you (@Raxxanterax) said so yourself said that Normal, Hard, and Expert difficulties were all pretty easy, and even Penitent wasn't all that tough either. Did the Devs increase how tough these difficulties are? I read the Patch notes, and saw that some changes were made to Monster Health, etc, but it didn't seem like the changes would affect lower difficulties. Maybe I misread them? Is the game really going to be challenging while leveling 1 - 60 on Expert or Penitent? (PS: I SO MUCH prefer a game that is challenging over a game that is too easy, and I will definitely be playing on Penitent even if I progress more slowly). (Also thank you for this very informative vid).
So they locked a key thing a lot of people will be going for behind forced multiplayer activity in a game where most people play it solo? Were the same people in charge of the launch in charge of developing that concept?
I'll play hard just because I like a Little challenge but I am not a pusher just an average player. Also i will be playing spirit born because I spent $99 and some change for it well actually I bought it solely for the mount and pet.
Btw @Raxxanterax the reason why you’re burping so much is probably too much or too little stomach acid. If you have too much, take a reducer (like Prilosec). If you have too little stomach acid add in some digestive bitters
In your leveling guides you say we should start directly with a realm Walker before we do the Main quest line. But do we have enough materials to open the door for the realm to open?
How are levels scaled now? I'm a bit confused about how NM Dungeons, Strongholds, etc. work now in terms of difficulty. Is everything just scaled to your current level or are there still level differences between strongholds? NM Dungeons don't seem to have tiers anymore either.
There have been dozens of videos released over the course of the precious seasons that explain those mechanics when they were released. Patch note videos, campfire summary videos. Everything you need to catch up on is on this channel
So assuming youve completed the xpac campaign on a first char, on alts the fastest way to level is no longer sitting in helltides? Whats sort of the meta here on alts to get to 60? Seasonal mech to riftwalker, then anything to about 48 and then stronghold?
Wow so let's go half way by giving the DLC massive amounts and the season a little build up for the Dlc so it will suck for you if you can't currently afford to currently purchase the DLC

Yo will Druid Lighting shred from S1 ever be viable again? Maybe in S6? Its my favorite build of all time .
Wow I’m an idiot. Started taking notes and everything and you had a thing to download the entire time ha. Thanks man can’t wait

This video is gold, cheers! You're the most structured and analytical guide creator out there
Hi Raxx, it’s everyone
Literally the best Diablo creator out there. Super detailed but easy to understand guides.
Raxx, you are truly a gem. The time and effort you put it. Amazing.
Worth noting that Nightmare Dungeons also have "XP wells" that give you 15% bonus XP for an hour. If these are common enough, you might wanna hit up an NMD or two on your alts to stack it with your seasonal elixirs.
Is this buff account wide?
Did not know about the wells, ty
@@ryanbak3358same here
@@FMGInferno It's just an hour long buff like an elixir, so it's per session and per character.
Here’s the biggest takeaway for me:
Do Strongholds in normal difficulty at level 48-50, completing all of them will get you to level 60.
(meaning don’t do it early otherwise you “wasted” the HP boosts for your first Stronghold clears)

Best follow for D4. Raxx breaks things down in a manageable way for people of all skill levels and time to spend.
Thank you for doing one for those of us without the expansion!
The amount of time and effort you put into your guides is sooooo helpful, so detailed and well explained! Much respect
“Just ride around, listening to some enya and collect some renowned” had me rolling
What an absolute win of a video. No spoilers but a critical red thread in having good progression through all the new systems. Thank you.
Thanks as always Raxx! Your team needs to make a quick Hydra leveling build, it's such a nice and easy way to level.
Awesome guide, thanks! I already started paying without this guide and Blizzard did a good job guiding me efficiently through the first few levels.
Thanks Raxx
Your guides are on point. Appreciate the way you can relate to us beginning Diablo players.
hey raxx, will you make a raid guide? In my opinion you are the best at explaining things. Other youtubers just rush through the explanation and i cant quite make sense because english is not my native language.
Thank you Rax, you're making it so much easier for everybody. Don't stop being a god.
I've always loved & followed your guides since D3 & you never fail to be on point! Keep up the amazing work & chomping down on those Chipotle burritos!
Go hardest or go home. I love the challenge of leveling. 10/10
New player here. Have 0 clue on what was going on so thank you so much for this video.
This is great Raxx! Thanks for putting together this guide.
Thanks man for addressing those who have not bought the dlc.
Ur vids r always a godsend in whatever game u cover. Thanks a bunch for all the tips!
Raxx really has the best videos, so well explained. Support this man!
Thanks for the info Raxx! I'll be the guy riding around listening to Enya
Every season we got amazing guide. Much respect sir
I want to thank you for making my gaming experience fantastic
Raxx is a Blessing for us Gamers!!!!!!!!!
I will always start minion necro first then spiritborn. Cant wait til monday.
I love how every class gets a little bit of this or a little bit of that but the spirit born gets a little bit of everything
Fine I’ll buy the expansion!
hell yeah

People spend more on alcohol and cigarettes a week. The price isn't terrible.
@TheRAMBO9191 the base level expansion was cheaper than a pouch of tobacco 😂
Hi Rax: great work again, big thank you from Sydney!
Lol been asking for it and you deliver as always GG @Rax!
What great content. Wish I saw this before day 1!!
Great content, just starting now. Thank you for your advice!
This advice is gold! Thanks Raxx.
Level 43... started on hard from 0 XP. TBH I struggled a little; this gives that some context.
Thanks man, always great and insightful content from you
Thanks for the work Raxx!
The tip for finding the location of codex powers... thank you!
Hey @raxxanterax, should we set the home portal to Zimbabwe? I seem to recall we can pick our home portal this expansion?? I couldn't see this on your spreadsheet
Good job raxx as always. Unfortunately I will be skipping season 6 and playing eternal realm as I cant get the dlc at the moment and I feel I will miss most of season 6 without the dlc which is dissapointing.
I'm glad they decided to add tiers back in. The enemies scaling with you seemed really disappointing. I will give them that
Starting on Hard was a lot of fun. Difficult at times for sure. There’s no leaderboard so it’s easier to mentally prioritize fun over efficiency
did the entire campaign without unlocking my spirit class mechanic, no elixirs all on hard. didn't die 1 so guess i'm a gigachad.
You should do a contest or something. Winners get to play dark citadel with you on stream. It’s a good idea
If you go straight to the realm walker at level 1, you won't have the materials you need to trade for the opals. I made that mistake and had to go farm some materials first.
Great video, thanks for the guide. Keep up the good work.
The fact that we will be 60 by the time we finish the new campaign is very encouraging, new campaign must be pretty long if that's the case.
4-6 hours seems to be what people are saying
I started hard for spiritborn and I must say the first 20 levels were ruff wish i seen this 😅
These videos have been phenomenal Raxx.
Quick PSA:
Even right now, pre S6, you can skip the base campaign if you have never completed it before. I gifted the game to two friends who absolutely hate doing dialogue/story and the like and they were able to just hit skip campaign anyway.
i started on hard and cruising not finished but it’s fun as hell. I’m a veteran souls fan & veteran diablo fan though.

Tuesdays gonna rock. 5k allocated for prime day and diablooooooo!
Thanks Raxx this guide rocks!
OK. Just booked my flight to Zimbabwe to meet a vendor so I'm pretty sure I am set for expansion! :)
to do the VoH campaign, i have to do it on a spiritborn or can i can lvl as a sorc in Nahantu campaign? u said many times "on a spiritborn" thats why i´m asking :) - btw great guide !
Yea you can, you can do it with any class you want.
Thanks for the summary and this great guide
I’m looking forward to seeing how hard these raids are
Great guide, thanks!
Loved this guide!
Thank you Mr. Anterax!
Raxx is carrying Diablo 4 for me.
Hey rax I’m just starting this season a little late and want to know what you mean by “stay on normal until you get your class mechanic?” Is our class mechanic out ultimates? Or key passive? Some clarity will help a casual like me understand
Hey Raxx do you have any leveling builds for the spiritborn class yet? Is the eagle feathers build the best for that or possibly the poison build that everyone loved in the PTR?
From what I gather spiritborn stomps no matter what the build.
Thanks for the leveling tips
By the thumbnail I thought this was a Last Epoch video!
Hey Raxx, every one here, thank for the guide
"Only the penitent man will pass" Raxx 🤣
How will power leveling work in this system. Do Higher torments give more xp? Does a lvl 1 enemy give more xp in hard vs normal?
Interestingly, I never even tried normal and went straight to hard. With a sorc (which is my main) I never really had a problem. Had a few dangerous situations but after trying that I would never recommend normal to anyone except a newcomer to D4 (at least on with sorc).
Also, don't have the expac yet, but so far decent enough, grinding on T2.
Great Info! tried printing the progression but print quite small and to light to read
During the PTR, most streamers, and I think even you (@Raxxanterax) said so yourself said that Normal, Hard, and Expert difficulties were all pretty easy, and even Penitent wasn't all that tough either. Did the Devs increase how tough these difficulties are? I read the Patch notes, and saw that some changes were made to Monster Health, etc, but it didn't seem like the changes would affect lower difficulties. Maybe I misread them? Is the game really going to be challenging while leveling 1 - 60 on Expert or Penitent?

(Also thank you for this very informative vid).
Guess you'll have to wait and see for yourself.
@@Lean_Dad Penitent or BUST!
So they locked a key thing a lot of people will be going for behind forced multiplayer activity in a game where most people play it solo?
Were the same people in charge of the launch in charge of developing that concept?
sounds like a plan.
I hope I like the Spiritborn, will def try that one out. I think we will see tons of Spiritborn in the towns lol
I'll play hard just because I like a Little challenge but I am not a pusher just an average player. Also i will be playing spirit born because I spent $99 and some change for it well actually I bought it solely for the mount and pet.
Time to play is limited. Thank you!
you are incredible, thank you!

Btw @Raxxanterax the reason why you’re burping so much is probably too much or too little stomach acid. If you have too much, take a reducer (like Prilosec). If you have too little stomach acid add in some digestive bitters
In your leveling guides you say we should start directly with a realm Walker before we do the Main quest line. But do we have enough materials to open the door for the realm to open?
Hey Raxx what level can you use an elixir and incense now since level change because it was 35 and 50 I believe when going to 100
Elixirs can be used as soon as lvl 10 if its the lower quality ones
How are levels scaled now?
I'm a bit confused about how NM Dungeons, Strongholds, etc. work now in terms of difficulty.
Is everything just scaled to your current level or are there still level differences between strongholds? NM Dungeons don't seem to have tiers anymore either.
Raxx can you make builds without expansion? Thanks
any advice on catching up on stuff we've missed? I have no clue about the pit, itemisation changes etc
There have been dozens of videos released over the course of the precious seasons that explain those mechanics when they were released. Patch note videos, campfire summary videos. Everything you need to catch up on is on this channel
Thanks Raxx
Thanks for the video
Is the campaign the best method to level up alts aswell??
"The seasonal vendor in simbabwe" 😂
So assuming youve completed the xpac campaign on a first char, on alts the fastest way to level is no longer sitting in helltides? Whats sort of the meta here on alts to get to 60? Seasonal mech to riftwalker, then anything to about 48 and then stronghold?
i love this guy
Hey raxx just asking if this is on purpose or not but lately every one of your videos has had an ad every 15 to 20 seconds
Was there an Enya link or...?

Wow so let's go half way by giving the DLC massive amounts and the season a little build up for the Dlc so it will suck for you if you can't currently afford to currently purchase the DLC
20 years ago we had Thottbot, now we have Raxx!
If i don't own the game and as you've said level in helltide, what difficulty should i choose?
