For Those About to R̶o̶c̶k̶ Rend and Roll! ©
Hail and Kill, Barbros! VERY easy 5 ways for 1-70 SOLO leveling here. Videos attached.
I. DIABLO WARS. EPISODE 22. ATTACK OF THE CLONES
Brand new leveling method based on Season 22 Theme
Take the shrine and let your Clone one-shot everything @T6 for huge XP boost
Key words: “Shrine”, “Bovine Bardiche”
(Playstyle similar to T6 Cleaver / S20_Kanai self-leveling)
Detailed by Bluddshed:
Detailed by Wudijo ( DH, sry, Barbros!):
Don’t need weapon in Cube (useless @T6)
Tips & Tricks:
I. Challenge Rift for mats (after S22 start)
II. Seasonal DH / Craft 70 lvl Bovine Bardiche (1/3 chance; 1/4 for Barb) / Put in Stash / Delete DH
III. Seasonal Barbarian
- “Hello, Kaddy!”
Use Kadala @lvl.1 for:
[Ring] Band of Might - BiS / Damage Reduction
[Ring] Leoric’s Signet - BiS / XP boost
[Armor] Leoric’s Crown - BiS / XP boost
[Armor] Lut Socks - BiS / avoid / escape danger
[Weapon] BOVINE BARDICHE - BIS / LEVELING (@lvl.34+)
- “Love is a Shield”
Buy / craft a shield & HP-oriented gear
- “Be Quick Or Be Dead”
Use Skills: Furious Charge (21) / Leap (8) for mobility (survivability as well), Threatening Shout (14), Ignore Pain (22), War Cry (28), Wrath of the Berserker (30) for defence
IV. “MU MU Land (Justified & Ancient)”
If lucky with Cow-stick → Goto “Not The Cow Level” (6 shrines & 1001 Infernal Bovines for huge T6 massacre killstreaks / 34 Chests as well)
V. Else → Use well-known locations (like usually do for XP pools)
My personal funny “It’s Grim Up North” Route 66:
Leoric’s Manor Courtyard → N.Highlands 1,2 → S.Highlands / Moon Clan Cave 1,2
(with high chances for goblins (RBG as well) for legendaries / gems / plans and chances to open Cow level / Vault (Boon of the Hoarder + Custerian Wristguards))
BONUS: Master a Set Dungeon IK WWR < 1 min
=============================================
II. The easiest: MASSACRE killstreaks (SOLO)
Key word(s): “Pox Faulds” (the ONLY legendary pants available by Kadala at lvl.1 - so pretty high chances to get)
Farm route: Halls of Agony lvl.3 @T1, repeatedly
Run / leap from one (3+ mobs) crowd to another with any crafted 2H-Weapon, melting them with PF legendary affix to keep the massacre bonus alive
No weapon in Cube required since no Elites fights - just kill as much trash mobs as possible
Tips & Tricks:
1.Skills: Furious Charge / Leap for mobility,
Ground Stomp (Wrenching Smash) for grouping,
Rend / Weapon Throw / Seismic Slam to keep killstreak active
2.Use common drop: bothering stuff (Band of hollow whispers, Nagelring, Sebor’s Nightmare, Golden Gorget of Leoric (B), etc) to keep killstreak active, AD stuff (Death Watch Mantle, Andariel’s Visage, Death’s Bargain (B), Mad Monarch’s Scepter (B), Scourge, etc) for faster kills (*B = bounties’ gifts)
III. The fastest: T6 CLEAVER kills (SOLO / party)
Key words: “Be Quick Or Be Dead” ©
Farm route: Halls of Agony lvl.1 @T6, repeatedly
Lead mobs to falling cleavers that kill them to reward you with huge (T6-based) XP
Some skill (mostly to dodge) required
No need ANY additional stuff - just use dropped / buyed / crafted HP-oriented
Tips & Tricks:
1.Skills: Furious Charge / Leap for mobility (survivability as well),
Ground Stomp (Wrenching Smash) for grouping under cleavers,
Weapon Throw / Seismic Slam for distant fire,
Threatening Shout (Demoralize) to call mobs
2.Lut Socks for leaping, Band of Might (1 of 2 rings (wanted Leoric’s Signet as well)) all available by Kadala at lvl.1 for HUGE DR
3.Buy a shield
4.Be ready for multiple deaths - annoying a bit (repair required)
IV. The Holy Grail: VAULT gold (SOLO / party)
Key words: “Puzzle Ring” & “Custerian Wristguards”
Farm route: Town, Kadala, repeatedly
Main goal: do anything (Rifts, Blood Thief Gobs, keep Challenge Rift cache) to have enough shards to get Puzzle Ring (lvl.31 for gamble - 1 of 4 legendary rings available, x4 in party) and Custerian Wristguards (lvl.34 for gamble - 1 of 7 legendary bracers available @34)
Tips & Tricks:
1.When got both → goto @T6, wear Custerian Wristguards, put emerald in helm, cube Puzzle Ring → run thru opened Vault to take all gold piles @T6 → lower the difficulty to T1 → kill Greed to get Boon of the Hoarder with native 25% chance of explosion of gold on killing, so if you leave Vault still under lvl.70 → goto Ruins of Corvus @T4+ to reach lvl.70 in minutes fighting (t̶h̶e̶ ̶̶̶w̶̶̶o̶̶̶r̶̶̶l̶̶̶d̶̶̶̶̶) ©

2.Totally 10+ mil XP/gold for lvl.50 / 93+ mil XP/gold for lvl.60 / 576+ mil XP/gold for lvl.70 needed
V. The funniest: GOBSBUSTERS (SOLO / party)
A kind of symbiosis of p.I & p.III with massacre killstreaks in holy hope for RBG / Whimsyshire (5%), Vault (2%), Puzzle Rings, Custerian Wristguards, legendaries, Imperial gems (lvl.20+ @T1+), shards, gold (with wristguards on), mats, recipes, resplendent chests at the areas with high Goblins spawn chances, repeatedly:
80+% A5 Pandemonium Fortress lvl 1 (always 0 or 2)
80+% A5 Pandemonium Fortress lvl 2 (always 0 or 2)
70+% A3 Caverns of Frost (lvl 1&2) / Bridge of Korsikk (if spawned)
70+% A1 Northern Highlands (map 1&2)
70+% A1 Cave of the Moon Clan (lvl 1&2) / Southern Highlands
60+% A2 Eastern Channel / Ancient Waterway (lvl 1&2)
60+% A2 Western Channel / Ancient Waterway (lvl 1&2)
Weapon in Cube required to kill Goblins
General Tips & Tricks:
Rubies in weapon for DPS
Rubies in helm for up to +41% XP, up to +82% XP with Leoric’s Crown
Broken Crown for double gems (chests, Gem Hoarders, Vault, Whimsy)
Born’s Defiance (lvl.21) for +20% XP
Cain’s Fate (lvl.23) for +50% XP
Leoric’s Signet for +20-30% XP
Hellfire Ring (lvl.61) for +45% XP
==================================================
I. The easiest: MASSACRE killstreaks (SOLO)
1.NO Kanai’s Cube, Rend to keep massacre killstreak (back to vanilla days):
2.Pox Faulds in Cube:
DON’T DO CHALLENGE RIFT (Monday) UNTILL SEASON START (Friday)
- New seasonal character

- Blacksmith to lvl 12 → craft [lvl.70] Rare 2H Mighty weapon
- Take Follower’s weapon (Enchantress’ Dagger better) → goto Ruins of Sescheron of A3 for Kanai’s Cube
- Upgrade rare 2H-MW in Cube (recipe 3) for Blade of the Tribes >> Gavel of Judgement / Fury of the Vanished Peak > Bastion’s Revered (4/6 = 67% chance)
