Im completely new to Diablo, never played a single game before. Diablo 4 is downloading and I’ve searched the entirety of RUclips for a new-player-friendly guide and finally found it here. Thanks!
By the way i don't know if you know, but for everyone landing on this video a small tip. You don't need to reskill the entire tree to swap skills. Just get a skill point and invest it into the new skill you want and then you can sell part of the old skill and put it into the new one over and over until you got your skills you want (might save some money).
Bro. Nearly 50 minutes of your time and I can't say thank you enough. I played Diablo 3 for YEARS, paid for the Beta for D4 and thought I'd have it down. I was wrong. You have really helped me out with pretty much everything I wasn't sure of. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work :)
I loved D3 on PC/Console, but man.. Diablo 4 on console feels like a mental load 20x bigger than D3. So many variables, so many NPCs to use, so many quests and large maps. Any advice looking back since it looks like you’ve played for a year now?
The BEST Diablo IV beginner guide I have watched. I didn't feel overwhelmed. I haven't played a Diablo game in almost 20 years and I found this straight forward, easy to follow, and direct to the key points. You did a fantastic job on this guide! Definitely subscribing for more :)
i’m jumping into the game this weekend and have been watching a bunch of videos to get me prepped so I don’t feel completely overwhelmed, and this was the most informative one I’ve found so far. A lot of the other videos are good, but gloss over a lot of the terminology so I still felt lost.

A small tip to reduce the traveling back and forth is to put gems you find into socketed items to save inventory space. Then you can just aalvage the item and the gem is released. Or if you decide you want to use the item, removing gems is cheap.
But as you said & in another thread - if you salvage you get the gems back for free. So it only matters when you wanna keep the item *and* take the gem out 😊
@@markmatthews9102 coincidentally I tested this just last night on PC. When salvaging items with gems I was returned just under half, which tells me there is about a 50% chance of getting the gem back. It's also on a gem to gem, not item to item, basis as I had a two gem wep only return one.
I just started playing (xbox Gamepass) and this is still the best beginners guide I found. All the others jump straight into high levels when a newbie like me don't even know what to keep, what to salvage, what to sell, when to upgrade... the very basics. This video was a great help! You made this very overwhelming game an enjoyable "new player experience". Thank you very much for your time! 🙂
Hey dude just wondering is diablo4 totally free to play after u subscribe to that x box plan ? Or it just like free trial where's after your diablo character got to level 20 , u will get the message of your free trial end and you need to buy the whole game ? Cause I got that message lol🙃
@@PMoses2025 yea man. As you level up, the monsters level up as well. This means you never really feel like you're getting stronger. You can't go to early dungeons and tank the whe dungeon, because it's gonna be just as hard. Sucks.
@ebontis Your Section at 28:05, the one on gems has a major error: you get gems back for *free* when you salvage items so you should shove gems in every available socket while leveling. You're not going to keep them long so there's not much reason to worry about getting the best quality gem first or wasting gems on low level gear.
I've played all diablo games and still hammering away on my lvl 100 barb and know everything about the game, despite already seeing this I watched it again just because I enjoy the way you explained everything, so even tho I wasn't gaining any further info on a video designed for that reason, I still just enjoyed watching again. You should make some lore videos or anything diablo related and I'd watch it for sure
yeah, thanks Ebontis. I'm now level 30 and not even done Act 1, I think I'm gonna stop doing side missions and just stick with the main quest for the rest lol
Same here I just got the blessing from the temple of light to pass the underground lake. I was doing a ton of side quests running cellars and dungeons and basically clearing every area looking for Lilith statues
I did the same exact thing lol search for Lilith statues and did side missions and explored. Just finally did act 1 last story mission before I went to Donan and I'm lvl 43 lol. I really need to focus on the main mission.
Man this has to be the most informative straight to the point, easy to follow and understand guide I have ever heard about this game. I'm so ready to play now.
2:11 If you are new to a Diablo type ARPG game, yes, I'd recommend Tier I. But if you have even some experience with them, I'd recommend Veteran Tier II hands down. The delta of rewards is much greater than the risk/difficulty difference. Tier II is normal difficulty. Tier I is rank amateur.
That would be awesome, I keep going to the jeweler to take them out before I scrap. Thanks for saying something, I’m going to try it next time with a small gem just in case.
Great vid appreciate it as always.. One thing that I might have missed and might be helpful to others who like me did a DOH! moment.. Assign proper weapons to your Basic and Core skill.. I struggled for days just clearing trash mobs until i realize you can switch/assign weapons. ( I.E.) -- ON PC for me its " Y ".. i assigned 'Lunging strike' to my dual wielding weapons and "Hammer ofT Ancients" to my two handed mace and 'Death Blow' to a Sword.. Life become so much easier after that, basic skill hit so much faster generating fury so much quicker..... :)
Thanks so much for this guide. As a new Diablo player I'm loving it but there is so much to take in it can be overwhelming. I've watched a few other guides but was still a bit confused. This guide hands down gives me everything I need to know to get started properly. I'm only level 7 but I'm going back in now armed with a ton of knowledge. Subscribed to the channel :))
i was thinking the same, salvaging gear with new aspects makes the aspect available at the Occultist. so as soon as you replace it you should salvage it
Thanks so much for putting this together! I've played all the previous Diablo games, but it's always best to gain a bit of insight before jumping in head first. I especially appreciate the World Tier 1 tip. I initially selected WT2, but you make a great point about TTK vs XP gained. Good looking out 😎👍
Here's my tip: If you make a sorcerer, make it a female. I made a male and most of the gear is girly stuff. Dresses, frilly masks, low cut shirts obviously meant for cleavage. My poor sorc looks like the most flamboyant mage ever. Like he should be a pop star and go on tour with Katy Perry. And the worst part is I tried to make him look like me with my hair and beard so the whole time I'm staring at this imaginary version of myself in gothic drag. Wtf
Biggest one is being able to teleport to entrance of dungeon by clicking the door in the instance map. Took me way to long to figure that out... don't think the game ever says it.
It does tell you about this if you had selected the option for more help at the beginning of the game. You can also quickly leave a dungeon through the emote wheel
I am sure someone may have said this but you can individually select items with gems to break them down. That automatically removes the gems back to inventory with no cost to it. You just can't do it marking as junk.
Idk if u will see this cause ur vid is over a year old but thank you for making this vid. As a newer diablo player it really helps to have a guide like this. Thanks brotha 💪🏼❤️
Gear that has gems in it could be salvaged and your gems will be returned to your inventory for free. Only reason you want to pay to remove your gem is if you plan on replacing the current gem with an alternative. Otherwise if you are not using that gear anymore and don't need it but want that gem, jus salvage it and reclaim your gem for free.
I’ve been researching so much whether to buy and if so how to start and after countless videos lol I come across this video. THANK YOU. Excited to start the journey.. haven’t gamed in a decade and excited to get back into it. Was always a WoW player so I figure I’ll like this! I only have a console, so hopefully it’s still a good experience
Yeah I messed up and beat the main campaign day 1 at level 38 😅 I did die 20+ times in Act 6… I did mess around and found out. Now I am just grinding side quests, strong holds, alters and such. I love it. I think the path I took was good. A lot of my friends are level 40+ on Act II still. Which they don’t even have their mounts or anything.
yo quick question,hay many + skils can you add to an ability over its normal 5/5? some games like grim dawn let you put +10 so you end up with stuff like 15/5 does d4 have such a cap?
Got myself set up as a necromancer... love my reapers so far haha nice playing alone while not getting beat down like im playing alone.. till I hit lvl 50 I'll stay in tier 1 then I'll bump up as I go.. as far as waypoints... I totally missed my first one had to run all the way back down... was worth it tho I missed the alters
As an experienced Diablo player, i thought i'd choose veteran with my necro playthrough and found it really hard, so i watched your vid and i totally agree with you, choosing the easy mode to finish the campaign 1st makes it quicker and easier and more fun tbh. I was also putting gems in my gear and not levelling it up for the pieces i really liked and it now makes a huge difference to do the exact opposite! Thanks for the tips :3
I am under 30 right now and for low levels speaking of gyms I really like using a two handed weapon for my druid with two sockets and putting two crude topaz in there and getting +20% to basic skills because you’re hitting with basic skills constantly
@29:30 you talk about removing gems from the sockets on a bow. I thought that if you salvaged it, it would remove the gems without having to pay for them? if you aren't going to use it again, you could salvage? I could be way wrong here. just asking. awesome video. thank you for this
Also a point he kinda missed. I don’t know the keybind on PC, but on console if you press left stick while in your inventory you get a breakdown of each stat and gear contribution, that was an awesome find. Also CONSOLE PLAYERS HAVE CHAT, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT AND USE IT. Press left or up on the D pad to open your quick menu wheel and open your chat. Need help? Ask chat. Someone else need to quest? Look at chat. I feel like no one knows about the in game chat. You can whisper people, open local chat, or even clan chat
I too have never touched Diablo before and I decided to give this a shot. And I love it...but knew nothing, never been more out of my element in a game lol. So thank you so so much for putting this out. This really helped a lot. There is some really basic stuff that I could not figure out. Like I wanted to use both daggers and a bow. I started with my daggers, unlocked bow..couldn't use daggers anymore unless I swapped the skill. Had no idea how that worked. Still a ton I don't know but man this really helped thank you.
One addendum to what he said. The legendary gear saving is no longer needed. If you salvage your gear it will save the legendary power off it automatically. It even says so at bottom of item text now in a asterisk
I’m in the same boat but really want to pull the trigger on this game. It seems very complex for someone who’s just used to competitive shooters, but trying to not get too overwhelmed to the point I don’t wanna buy 😂 it’s really peaking my interest
I played Diablo 3, but that was years ago. This really helps me get in the swing of things especially since the game works totally different. Thank you!!❤
I never ran out of veiled crystals so I upgraded everything to rank 3 and that's what I recommend. I didn't go past that until end game as the materials needed come from salvaging legendaries. But in end game you get lots from helltide to the point nothing becomes a problem anymore. Only adding sockets was longer to solve.
Regarding loot, selling for gold vs scrapping - breaking down to ingredients for upgrades. I scrap all yellow items that don’t fit my build or look exceptional for another class. I sell the blue and ordinary gray items. Doing this I’m able to upgrade all my equipped yellow items to tier three. Wish I had seen this vid sooner, keep going with these please.
Because I took an extended break before now and had two new characters I had to do a lot or rejogging my memory and respecing. I had to respec my Necromancer earlier because she was a complete mess. I have now fixed her up for a blood build which i'm enjoying and she is no longer a mess lol. I came to this video to help me with something I knew I was doing a bit wrong and you managed to point me in the right direction again, thankyou.
Easiest way to make it through the campaign is to do a necro build and use your skeleton warriors and skeleton mages. I made it through the entire campaign without dying (tier 1) till I got to Lilith and fell of the cliff she destroys. I did not know about salvaging things from equipment at the blacksmith, I have been selling everything.
Question. When beating the game, do you start all over, with no gear or do you start over with all the equipment ? Ps i cant allow myself to play on easy. Its normal or hatder lol
Upon completing the campaign, you can't restart the campaign with the current character. You have three options: 1. Make a new character if you wish to replay the campaign. 2. Make a new character to play a different class. You will have the option to skip the campaign and immediately reach level 50. Make sure you play on a higher difficulty like Tier 2 or Tier 3 for better loot. 3. Continue to play as the current character that you initially completed the campaign with. Make sure you play on a higher difficulty like Tier 2 or Tier 3 for better loot. Tier 3 and 4 unlock Unique gear which is the highest tier gear.
My favorite aspect they haven't changed since Diablo 2 is the vendors selling items for amounts of gold you will NEVER acquire at a low level, and as you level up you have no need for said items in the vendor. Why even have them? Lol
New player here. EXCELLENT video. I'm going to literally watch this again and literally count how many times you say literally 😂😂😂. I appreciate the info! New sub.
Just because you didn't make it obvious, you can choose multiple skills from one section of the skill tree, you don't have to choose one from each of the six
+1 for not going Veteran off the bat. I'm a diablo vet and honestly this game is pretty damn tough at lower levels when you don't have a good set of skills. It was frustratingly hard leveling up on Veteran with my first character until at least 30 when I had a good assortment of abilities to deal with the various mobs.
As someone who just started the game because of game pass finally getting it I totally wish I'd watched this video first.I'm still in act one and i'm level thirty😅 I appreciate the good advice well done
I've been playing on Veteran as a Druid. I feel like the easy mobs are still easy and the bosses that I have died on are bosses that I probably would have died to even on Adventurer. It seems D4 throws more packs at you than D3 (to me anyway) so you're fighting through packs every step you take it seems. All that +20% adds up.
Also it could be another bug or a glitch but I started the game on veteran and changed it to easy and tonight I noticed it was on veteran again and was wondering why it was so hard.. I know they nerfed sorcerer but DANG.... ima switch it back asap 😂 definitely NOT worth it
This game is such a mental load when you start out. Diablo 3 was intuitive & flowed so well. Diablo 4 feels like I’m taking a PHD course with a million connecting variables. Any advice from you veterans? I need like basic yet quick overviews of what’s worth paying attention to and what’s not. As a veteran, what do you wish you played slower to enjoy more? I remember beating Diablo 3 so quickly and was disappointed that I didn’t roam around until 2nd/3rd play through etc.
Just start playing and the game will present things to you with a natural progression. You’re not expected to know everything right out of the gate. Honestly this video is good but it is overkill for someone starting out.

@@zinivix It's fun if you are a new player. Most of the complaints are from 1% of the endgame grinders.

A small tip to reduce the traveling back and forth is to put gems you find into socketed items to save inventory space. Then you can just aalvage the item and the gem is released. Or if you decide you want to use the item, removing gems is cheap.
Caveat - If you unsocket a lot of stuff the cost starts to add up. I realised I'd spent quite a lot of cash that way. FYI.

@@reyc3ro Just dont press the joystick to move. Kinda painful, but it works with the auto targeting.
Very helpful. I’ve been doing every single side quest and it’s getting boring
you should focus more on getting to world tier 3 (finishing main campaign and clearing capstone dungeon). You'll be able to get better equipment there

Also CONSOLE PLAYERS HAVE CHAT, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT AND USE IT. Press left or up on the D pad to open your quick menu wheel and open your chat. Need help? Ask chat. Someone else need to quest? Look at chat. I feel like no one knows about the in game chat. You can whisper people, open local chat, or even clan chat
I too have never touched Diablo before and I decided to give this a shot. And I love it...but knew nothing, never been more out of my element in a game lol. So thank you so so much for putting this out. This really helped a lot. There is some really basic stuff that I could not figure out. Like I wanted to use both daggers and a bow. I started with my daggers, unlocked bow..couldn't use daggers anymore unless I swapped the skill. Had no idea how that worked. Still a ton I don't know but man this really helped thank you.
This has been the most helpful beginner guide I've found. Thank you!
One addendum to what he said. The legendary gear saving is no longer needed. If you salvage your gear it will save the legendary power off it automatically. It even says so at bottom of item text now in a asterisk
Brilliant guide with nothing spoiled!
Great guide. Just starting D4 since it's now on Gamepass.

Good stuff - very well done. Although I've run the cycle of all the Diablo's there were quite a few useful tips for an aged veteran like myself.
That was an absolute great video, easy to follow and well explained!
Exactly what I was looking for. Excellent communication style and easy to understand! Thank you!
A complete newbie to Diablo and started last night. Thank you for the video.
My first RPG and man I’m loving it, was never able to get into WoW or anything similar
I’m in the same boat but really want to pull the trigger on this game. It seems very complex for someone who’s just used to competitive shooters, but trying to not get too overwhelmed to the point I don’t wanna buy 😂 it’s really peaking my interest
Solid video! I made a mistake in leveling… good to know re-spec isn’t the end of the world
I played Diablo 3, but that was years ago. This really helps me get in the swing of things especially since the game works totally different. Thank you!!❤
Thanks is going to be my first Diablo, it's almost done installing and this video was very helpful.
How come you save the entire legendary item instead of extracting the aspect? I may have missed something here
I never ran out of veiled crystals so I upgraded everything to rank 3 and that's what I recommend. I didn't go past that until end game as the materials needed come from salvaging legendaries. But in end game you get lots from helltide to the point nothing becomes a problem anymore. Only adding sockets was longer to solve.
This is exactly the type of video i was looking for. I just purchased the game and felt like i was going crazy with all the side quests lol
Regarding loot, selling for gold vs scrapping - breaking down to ingredients for upgrades.
I scrap all yellow items that don’t fit my build or look exceptional for another class.
I sell the blue and ordinary gray items.
Doing this I’m able to upgrade all my equipped yellow items to tier three.
Wish I had seen this vid sooner, keep going with these please.
You get so much gold..just scrap everything lmao
Because I took an extended break before now and had two new characters I had to do a lot or rejogging my memory and respecing. I had to respec my Necromancer earlier because she was a complete mess. I have now fixed her up for a blood build which i'm enjoying and she is no longer a mess lol. I came to this video to help me with something I knew I was doing a bit wrong and you managed to point me in the right direction again, thankyou.
Easiest way to make it through the campaign is to do a necro build and use your skeleton warriors and skeleton mages. I made it through the entire campaign without dying (tier 1) till I got to Lilith and fell of the cliff she destroys. I did not know about salvaging things from equipment at the blacksmith, I have been selling everything.
Question. When beating the game, do you start all over, with no gear or do you start over with all the equipment ? Ps i cant allow myself to play on easy. Its normal or hatder lol
Upon completing the campaign, you can't restart the campaign with the current character. You have three options:
1. Make a new character if you wish to replay the campaign.
2. Make a new character to play a different class. You will have the option to skip the campaign and immediately reach level 50. Make sure you play on a higher difficulty like Tier 2 or Tier 3 for better loot.
3. Continue to play as the current character that you initially completed the campaign with. Make sure you play on a higher difficulty like Tier 2 or Tier 3 for better loot. Tier 3 and 4 unlock Unique gear which is the highest tier gear.
Thank you E, still trying to puzzle this in. But always nice to get some pointers❤
The breaking down items tip is the best tip here! Didn't know this. Thank you.
Great video! I really appreciate all this info and that you speak at a normal conversation pace (not speed talking). Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
The pin option has been a huge time saver.
Just got Diablo 4, my first Diablo game and this guide is perfect 👌🏼
My favorite aspect they haven't changed since Diablo 2 is the vendors selling items for amounts of gold you will NEVER acquire at a low level, and as you level up you have no need for said items in the vendor.
Why even have them?
Lol
Just picked up D4 for $10 and I’m having a good time. Some of this was very helpful! Thanks!
definitely one of the best beginner guides ive seen good job bud!
Wow, thanks!
Extremely helpful! I just started playing diablo and really needed this video, thank you!!!!
One of the better beginner's guide videos I have seen. Thanks
New player here. EXCELLENT video. I'm going to literally watch this again and literally count how many times you say literally 😂😂😂. I appreciate the info! New sub.
Haha, gotta love when you over use a word and even notice it yourself. Welcome to the party.
Just because you didn't make it obvious, you can choose multiple skills from one section of the skill tree, you don't have to choose one from each of the six
+1 for not going Veteran off the bat. I'm a diablo vet and honestly this game is pretty damn tough at lower levels when you don't have a good set of skills. It was frustratingly hard leveling up on Veteran with my first character until at least 30 when I had a good assortment of abilities to deal with the various mobs.
This will be my first Diablo game so jumping in feeling a little bit more prepared!
Magnificent breakdown. I am new to Diablo and it’s a little intimidating I am glad I found your channel!
You can pet the dogs in town
..can't believe you left that out
As someone who just started the game because of game pass finally getting it I totally wish I'd watched this video first.I'm still in act one and i'm level thirty😅 I appreciate the good advice well done
Learned a lot on this video. New player here. Thank you for this!!
Such a cool guy you remind me of someone I used to play with all the time great video ! Just started playing Diablo 4 lvl 40 and still on act one 😂😂
Thanks!
You are very welcome, and I greatly appreciate the generosity.
Nice intro with the fellow sanctuary players! Love it
Glad you like it!
I was about to select the sorcerer and my gut told me to "how should I begin?" So glad you made this VID, thank you! See you in D2 later this week!
Is there a way to make your icon on map different color from all the other landmarks? Like a green arrow would be great for visibility.
Thank you for making this video! I learned so much which I will start applying to my D4 gaming experience.
When you salvage an item at the blacksmith or pull the aspect off at the Occultist, you get your gems back for free.
Already can’t wait for more D4 content from you, E- first timer with Diablo, and this was majorly helpful
I've been playing on Veteran as a Druid. I feel like the easy mobs are still easy and the bosses that I have died on are bosses that I probably would have died to even on Adventurer. It seems D4 throws more packs at you than D3 (to me anyway) so you're fighting through packs every step you take it seems. All that +20% adds up.
Also it could be another bug or a glitch but I started the game on veteran and changed it to easy and tonight I noticed it was on veteran again and was wondering why it was so hard.. I know they nerfed sorcerer but DANG.... ima switch it back asap 😂 definitely NOT worth it
Had to do a double take. Thought I clicked on a Destiny video. Awesome sauce to have you here Ebontis.
This game is such a mental load when you start out.
Diablo 3 was intuitive & flowed so well. Diablo 4 feels like I’m taking a PHD course with a million connecting variables.
Any advice from you veterans?
I need like basic yet quick overviews of what’s worth paying attention to and what’s not.
As a veteran, what do you wish you played slower to enjoy more? I remember beating Diablo 3 so quickly and was disappointed that I didn’t roam around until 2nd/3rd play through etc.
Just start playing and the game will present things to you with a natural progression. You’re not expected to know everything right out of the gate. Honestly this video is good but it is overkill for someone starting out.
@@tony9146 that’s what I have been doing since & it’s much more enjoyable. Having a blast
If you are hardcore. Never enter a dungeon before you got a scroll of escape cause of The butcher
Why are vendors so useless? I don't get it. Loving the game but doesn't make sense to me.
The only vender in diablo history who WAS useful was squirt lol. U gind your own loot, sell the rest
