Reaching level 60 in Diablo Immortal is doable and practical. I’m an experienced player and guide writer, and I’ve helped friends cut their grind by hours. As of November 25, 2025 the level cap is 60, so this advice targets that end point.
Quick note: I’m speaking from real play (I’ve noticed patterns across servers), and some parts depend on your schedule and server population. This won’t work the same for everyone—there are exceptions—so tweak these tips to fit your playtime and class.
Before you start: setup and mindset
Stable connection, a comfortable chair, and a block of uninterrupted time matter more than most players think. Honestly, disconnects and short sessions kill momentum; you waste quest chains and group invites. Close background apps, use a gaming mouse if you can, and put your phone on Do Not Disturb.
Why? Because steady sessions let you chain world events, dungeons, and story quests—those give the best XP per minute. You want long, consistent stretches of productive play rather than tiny bursts that cost travel time.
Which classes actually level fastest
In my experience Necromancer and Demon Hunter top the list for speed. Necromancers tank with minions and clear packs fast; Demon Hunters kite and kill from range. Wizards clear huge groups but die more if you misposition. Crusaders? Controversial take: they’re often the slowest for speed runs unless you enjoy safe, slow pacing. People will argue that—yes, debate incoming.
| Class | Why it levels fast | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Necromancer | AoE minions, self-sustain | Great solo speed |
| Demon Hunter | Mobility + ranged AoE | Escape death easily |
| Wizard | Mass AoE | Positioning matters |
| Barbarian / Monk | Good clear with builds | Workable, less flashy |
| Crusader | Tanky | Slower kill speed |
What to prioritize (and why)
Main story quests give the biggest guaranteed XP and unlock zones and features—do them as they appear. Zone and world events give huge short XP bursts; set a 30-minute timer and show up early. Dungeons give steady group XP and efficient rewards if you can join a coordinated party.
Rationale: story quests move you forward, events concentrate XP in minutes, and dungeons scale well with a good team. If you ignore these, you’ll grind slowly—trust me, I learned this the hard way.
Route planning and movement
Plan loops through high-density spawn zones. Dark Wood is great for level 20–35, Mount Zavain works well for 35–50 (match the zone to your level). Avoid monsters far above or below your level—XP penalties hit hard. Keep moving between packs; downtime kills your XP per hour more than a few risky pulls will.
Combat habits that save time
Engage larger packs and use AoE. Pull smart, not reckless—don’t die. Keep ability rotations tight: open with your biggest AoE, follow with crowd control, and finish off leftovers. Movement abilities are often better for traversal than raw damage at mid-levels.
Tip: aim for 3–6 enemies in a group when possible. Too few and you waste time; too many and you die.
Equipment, gems, and when to upgrade
Prioritize damage and movement. XP-boost gear matters more than tiny defensive gains. I’ve found upgrading weapons every 5–7 levels (or when you find gear ~10 levels higher) keeps kill times low. Gems: favor damage, AoE, and XP gain gems over pure defense while leveling.
| Gem | Use | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Ca’arsen’s Invigoration 💰 | XP gain | High |
| Berserker’s Eye 💎 | Damage / Crit | High |
| Lightning Core ⚡ | Chain AoE | High for AoE classes |
| Fervent Fang 🏃♀️ | Move / Attack speed | Medium |
Final push: levels 50–60
This stretch gets grindy. Group play helps—Hell dungeons and coordinated clears give the best XP now. Paragon thinking matters; start collecting endgame pieces that double as leveling gear. Timing your Battle Pass XP boosts and daily bonuses for your best grinding blocks multiplies efficiency. Use consumable XP boosts during high-value activities, not on filler trash spawns.
Critical rule: don’t solo content more than two levels above you. The XP penalty and deaths make that a net loss. Seriously—stop doing it.
Practical tools and quick setups
Timers, a small notepad of routes, and a voice line for party roles save wasted seconds. Here’s a tiny script you can paste into a browser console to start a simple timer (use responsibly):
let start=Date.now();
setInterval(()=>console.log("Elapsed: "+Math.floor((Date.now()-start)/60000)+" min"),60000);Use a stopwatch on your phone to time event windows and measure XP per hour (you’ll see when efficiency drops).
One unexpected insight
Oddly enough, occasionally skipping a dungeon to chain three quick zone events can net more XP per hour, especially when your party is slow to form. That sounds counterintuitive, but time lost waiting for groups stacks up fast.
Quick checklist (short)
- Block long play sessions.
- Do main story + world events first.
- Prefer AoE classes for speed.
- Upgrade weapon every 5–7 levels.
- Save XP boosts for dungeons/events.
Honestly, the path to 60 is a marathon with sprints. I’ve guided casual friends who hit 60 in focused weekends and others who spread it over months. It depends on your niche, your server, and how much time you can commit. By the way, enjoy the world—loot and story matter too (between us, sometimes I stop to admire the art).
One last thing—expect to adjust. Some tactics work one week and fail the next because of server crowds or patch tweaks. Watch this: test a route for 30 minutes, then change it if XP drops. Keep the rhythm, keep the momentum, and you’ll get there.
