The ULTIMATE Guide for beginner's in Diablo 4 - AVOID THESE MISTAKES

So today I want to make a beginner's guide

for noobs on Diablo 4. So I currently

have level 50 character Barbarian and also

a level 37 Rogue, so I think I know what

I'm talking about when it comes to being a

noob at Diablo 4 and also having quite

some experience in the game. Um, I played

the game quite a lot and I made a lot of

mistakes and didn't realize some pretty

basic things until like level 40 into the

game that I really should have known

earlier. And knowing this stuff earlier

would have made my gameplay game session

experience much easier. Okay, so first of

all, when you press M, you open the map

and you can scroll out and you see it's a

pretty big map, a lot of stuff happening,

very big and hard to get around by just

walking. So what you want to do is you can

do fast travel by clicking on these blue

circles. Now when you first go to the

town, the circle won't be blue, it'll be

grayed out like this. If it's grayed out,

it means you forgot to go to the waypoint

and click on it. I didn't realize I had to

do this when I first started the game. So

for example, I arrived at this first city,

Kyovovoshad, and then I ran all the way

to the second city, which was— I don't

know, I think it was like here, Ked Bardu.

I ran all the way there without activating

the waypoint in Kyovovoshad, and then I

had to go back to Kyovovoshad, and I

couldn't fast travel. I had to run all the

way back from Ked Bardu, which was really

irritating. I didn't realize I had to go

onto the waypoints. So for example,

Um, the waypoint is over here.

You just stand on it— well, you don't even

stand on it, just go near to it, and then

you click it, and then it's activated.

Really frustrating. I don't remember the

game telling me how to do that. It's

really annoying. Also, another point with

traveling, you don't have to wait very

long until you get the mount. You get the

mount quite early in the game. I didn't

realize there was a quest to get the mount

until I was like level 45. So until level

45, I was running around everywhere like a

peasant when you could just get— I think

it was like one of the first quests you

get when you arrive in Kevodoshad. It's to

craft a gem, which I haven't done yet.

Also visit the oculist and also get the

mount at the stables. So from like level 5

or 10, you get the mount, which makes

things a lot easier. Don't make my mistake

and forget you can get a mount. I thought

it was like World of Warcraft where you

have to wait till like level 40 and need

1,000 gold to get the epic mount. You can

actually get the mount straight away.

Which is nice. Secondly, something I

didn't notice until way into the game is

that you can actually change the way your

character looks by going to the wardrobe.

You see this wardrobe thing? It's like a

wardrobe icon on the minimap. When you

click on that, you can look at your

character like this, which looks pretty

cool. This is the only time you get to

actually see your character because the

camera view is so zoomed out all the time.

But anyway, you can change the appearance

of your armor. If you don't like the

original look of your helmet, for example,

you can change it to something cool like,

I don't know, maybe, um, something like,

like that. That looks pretty cool. And

then you can change your chest pieces to

whatever you want or whatever you have in

your inventory. You unlock these pieces by

actually looting these pieces, and then

you unlock their appearance. And not only

can you change the appearance, you can

also change the color. So you want to be,

I don't know, purple, and then apply that

to all of your pieces. You can be like a

purple barbarian if you want to. Why not?

Look, I can be blue, I can be red, I can

be yellow. It's just like Power Rangers.

You can also change the way your character

looks like this. So you, you can change

his makeup, jewelry, tattoos, but you

can't change his hairstyle for some

reason. I don't know if you can change the

hairstyle or not. Next, if you press Ctrl—

if you hold Ctrl and press R, you can show

an on-screen FPS meter. And if you press R

again, it will show your latency, which

means how fast your internet is. Higher

the number, the more lag. The lower the

number, the smoother the game is going to

run. Next thing, a quick explanation about

blacksmithing, which is very important.

So you go to the blacksmith and you can

dismantle magic items, which are blue

items. So you see that blue helmet?

That's a magic helmet. You can dismantle

all of your blue items. And then the rare

items are your yellow items. You can

dismantle all of your yellow items and

you'll get crafting components. Now with

the crafting components, you can upgrade

your gear by right-clicking on the piece

of gear to upgrade Like that, and then it

will show you the preview of how it's

going to get upgraded. And actually, I

think I will upgrade it. You use these

crafting components you get from

dismantling stuff, and then you can

upgrade it up to 4 times, which is pretty

good. You can also upgrade your gems and

remove gems from sockets, but for some

reason there's no gem person in this town.

I can't be bothered to go to another town.

So moving swiftly on to herbs and alchemy,

which you can also upgrade. You can also

upgrade your potions at the alchemist.

Where is it? Somewhere here. In here.

Yeah, you go to the alchemist. And I

didn't realize this until like level 30

that you can actually upgrade your healing

potions. I was using the level 1, the weak

healing potion, until level 30. And you

upgrade this just by gathering some

plants. So you might see plants and bushes

out in the world. And you might be

thinking, I don't need those, that's

boring, I'm gonna skip it. But it's not a

good idea. You should actually collect as

many plants as you can because you can

upgrade your healing potions and make them

more effective when you get to higher

levels. Okay, next I want to talk about

aspects. So you see on my items, my armor,

there's orange text at the bottom on every

single item. That's because they're

legendary items. Now every single

legendary is going to have this orange

text, and you can actually take this

aspect off or add new aspects. And they're

called aspects. That orange text gives

your skills extra damage or extra

functions. For example, this one,

this one makes Ground Stomp cause an

earthquake and deal damage around it when

usually it doesn't do that. So they're

really cool to have. Very beneficial and

very helpful for your build and playstyle.

And there's a vendor called the Occultist.

He's over here, and you can actually

change the aspects of weapons using this

guy. So first of all, you can extract an

aspect, but you'll lose the item. So you

put the item here, and then you'll extract

the Iron Skin aspects from it, and it'll

go into your aspects tab. And then you can

use this to apply it to different items,

but then you'll lose this item in the

process. And then you can also enchant an

item. So what that means is you place the

item in there and then it will show you—

you see the little white text? These are

the affixes. So this affix of these boots

are 25+ strength, 8+ all stats, 29

willpower, 23.6% lightning resistance. So

for example, if I don't like one of these,

I can just— I don't like this lightning

resistance, I can click on that and then I

can replace it with a new one. But I don't

have any Fiend Roses, which you need to do

that. So if you don't like one of these

stats, you can actually change everything

of the item. So you can change the affix,

you can change the aspect. Now what's

really cool is you can take an aspect off

an item and put it onto a different one.

So for example, imagine I don't like this

imprinted aspect on my helmet, I want to

put it onto my ring. Well, then I would—

first of all, I would extract it. So I put

the item into there, which I can't for

some reason. Oh, because I've already

imprinted it. Well, for example, I put a

different item in there, extract the

aspect, and then I'll get the extracted

aspect, put it into here, plus the new

item that I want to put the aspects onto.

And then it would create it. So you want

to take an aspect off one item, put onto a

new one, you can do that. And you can also

unlock aspects from the Codex of Power.

So I'll show you the Codex of Power. You

press Escape and then Collections, Codex

of Power, and you can see all of the

codexes, all of the aspects for all of the

different classes. And there's so many

loads. Maybe you don't care about the ones

that are not for your class, so you just

press show my class only. And you've got

all of the different aspects. They all do

different things for different abilities.

Defensive aspects have things like your

barrier has 7% extra damage absorption,

your basic skills grant 20% damage

reduction for 2 seconds, stuff like that.

And you can unlock these by going to

dungeons and completing them. And you can

pin the dungeon on your map by clicking on

it and pressing pin. So now this one's

pinned. You then go to your map, zoom out,

and you see the red line. Follow the red

line, it will take you straight to the

dungeon. It says dungeons here, easy

peasy. Now at first I didn't realize it's

like a pin. I was looking on the map

trying to find where the dungeon is,

thinking it'll be like big highlighted

dungeon symbol, but it wasn't. It was like

a tiny pin with the red line GPS

telling you where to go. And then just

find dungeons that you want aspects from,

complete them. And if you complete a

dungeon with an aspect not of your class—

for example, this one says Druid only.

I'm not a Druid, but if I made a Druid and

if I complete this dungeon using my

Barbarian, if I then make a Druid, I will

then have this aspect unlocked for the

Druid. So it's not bad to unlock

everything if you think you're going to

use it later a different class. And you

don't need to have your weapon equipped.

I mean, you need it equipped in this slot,

but you don't need to be using the weapon

to benefit from the aspect. For example,

I could be using my 2-handed mace but have

an aspect on my 2-handed sword for like

attack speed. Even if I'm not using the

sword, if I'm using the mace, I'll benefit

from the attack speed. And you also get a

lot of these gems. They all do different

things. Some add damage over time, some

add basic skill damage, some add critical

strike damage. They do different things

depending on what you add it to. So this

does 7.5% critical strike damage on a

weapon, but when you add it to an armor

piece, it would add 1.5% damage reduction

whilst fortified. So you've got different

gems based on— I mean, they're going to be

good for different reasons based on your

build and your playstyle. And you can add

sockets to your items going to the gem

vendor, and you need some kind of

ingredient material to add sockets to

armor. I don't have the ingredients, so a

lot of my gear doesn't have sockets,

which I need to work on. On the map,

sometimes you'll see this little orange

bar ticking down. That is like an online

PvE cooperative boss fight, and you've

got— well, it says it begins in 3 minutes,

so you've got 3 minutes to get there and

arrive. And then I guess I could go there

and show you what it's like. Okay, I guess

we could go. That's the

great thing about this game. There's so

many things to do on the map. You feel

like— I mean, even after you finish the

story mode, which I have done, and I was

kind of shocked when it just kind of

abruptly ended, but there's so many things

to do on the map, like these blue things

for side quests, the stronghold stuff,

gathering the Grim Favors for the

Whispering Tree gets you a loot box. And

then Gathering Legions, which is like

a boss battle. You'll see other people

gathering, waiting for it to begin. Says 1

minute 40 seconds until it begins, and

then people will start showing up before

it begins. And then you fight this massive

boss and he'll drop quite a lot of stuff

when you finish it. So it's pretty cool.

There's so many things you can do to keep

yourself busy, and you're always trying to

find loot and try and find ways to improve

your build. So that you get stronger and

stronger. I don't know why there's only

one guy. Usually there's like 10 people

showing up to these things. Maybe because

it's, uh, 12 o'clock in the day and

people are working, unlike me who, um,

doesn't have to work because I'm a famous

YouTuber. Aha, more people showing up!

We've got a level 57 guy, level 50 guy.

They'll start saying stuff to you. I don't

think they can hear me. Greetings. There

is voice chat, but I think you need to be

part of a team to hear them. Hello! Oh,

look, more people. 40, level 40. See the

Chinese because I'm on the Asian server.

What a catchy name, Little Blessing.

Yeah, so I guess just wait for this.

Those were most of my tips, I think.

Maybe there's more, but this video would

just become insanely long.

Also, the yellow dots— yellow dots

represent other players. Oh look, the boss

has begun. I'll show you the boss fight.

It's also very laggy. Usually it gets kind

of laggy for me when I fight a boss

because there's so many other players.

Also, a nice thing about this is you don't

even have to do anything because the other

people just do everything for you.

There's so many people that it doesn't

really matter if you die a lot or if

you're not doing anything.

I guess I could do something.

So this is what the multiplayer world

bosses look like. It's not always a boss.

Sometimes it's like you've got to survive

wave after wave, or you've got to kill all

the enemies, and then the final boss will
