As we all know, Diablo 4 Server Slam is about to begin. And this time around we have the regular legend drop rate, no longer the booster drop rate we saw in the open beta.

An important detail of leveling up new characters in Diablo 4 is unlocking Occultist NPC. If you plan on leveling up your Alts, this guide might save you from a lot of unnecessary item swaps and waste Diablo 4 Gold.

No one knows exactly what this means right now, but it’s safe to say that Occultist will become more important than ever. Players will not be able to kill Occultist with one shot, and once killed successfully, it can be used to extract Infrared Legendary Items. Players can even craft three Legendary Aspects there by completing Codex of Power, which is unlocked in certain dungeons.

The problem though is that Occultist doesn’t actually unlock until level 25. But the highest level in Server Slam is only level 20. So unless you get a Codex of Power, that actually unlocks Cultist Refuge even at lower levels.

Almost everyone has at some point completed at least some dungeon quests and encountered Occultist here. But if you try to make multiple characters and you want to level them up, you need to try again with different patches for different classes and things like that. You’ll realize that if you complete all the dungeon quests on your first character, you won’t be able to access Cultist Refuge on your Alt.

I can recommend the world map tool here, where you can filter the various things you can find in World of Sanctuary, at least for Fractured Peaks so far.

You can click on dungeons and Legendary Aspects, and then you can easily see which aspect comes from which dungeon before the service time actually goes live. You can also see it in-game on your Cultist. If you’re not going to play a certain class, you can leave those dungeon quests out while you’re doing your Renown, and just do some other dungeon quests.

This might actually give your dominant class some extra boost. You’ll need to complete at least you know a new dungeon quest that unlocks Occultist so you can visit that NPC.

Now this is not actually necessary. I think in most cases you can also keep all your items in your stash. Then go to your Carlos character and you’ll know what the extract is. I think it’s definitely worth your knowing, to save yourself a headache. Just remember how many dungeons you have.

During the past Beta weekend, many players were expecting their old characters to be kept. Because you know how annoying it is to run out there with another character and do the same thing over and over again. But I can no longer unlock Occultist early until we complete all dungeons.

We need to complete the famous level 3 dungeon quest to get a second skill point that you might want to unlock. But you don’t need to clear all the dungeons, you can also do some side quests, you can explore Alts and some new dungeons. You can, like most people, have somewhere ready to face challenges at any time.

The above is the complete process of my Diablo 4 Server Slam leveling Alts. Hope this helps and saves you from giving yourself too much headache when leveling Alts. I wish you a pleasant gaming experience.
