Diablo Immortal, the acclaimed mobile and PC crossover ARPG, blends classic Diablo lore with modern gameplay mechanics. Whether you're a returning Sanctuary veteran or a new adventurer, the key to success lies in understanding its unique progression systems, resource economies, and endgame challenges. This guide distills actionable strategies to help you level faster, farm smarter, and dominate late-game content—plus, how to optimize your experience using VMOS Cloud, a free cloud phone solution that elevates mobile gaming.
1. Mastering Early-Mid Game Progression: The Fastest Path to Level 60
Reaching the level cap (currently 60) is the first major milestone in Diablo Immortal. While the main story provides a steady XP stream, leveraging side content is critical for outpacing the curve. Let’s break down the most efficient methods:
Main Quests vs. Side Quests: Prioritize Smartly
The main campaign is unavoidable—its linear structure introduces core systems like the Helliquary and Legendary Gems. However, side quests (found in zones like Westmarch or Kehjistan) offer 30-50% more XP per minute. For example, "The Fallen Pilgrim" in Fractured Peaks rewards 8,000 XP and 250 Gold, while a comparable main quest might give 6,500 XP. Complete main quests in chunks (e.g., 2-3 at a time), then backtrack to mop up side quests in high-density zones.
Daily Activities: Maximize Your XP Bonuses
Diablo Immortal’s daily rotation includes six key activities, each with XP and resource rewards. Here’s the priority list based on XP efficiency (tested in patch 1.9):
Challenge Rifts (3 runs/day): Each rift grants 12,000 XP + a chance for Legendary Gems. Use a group of 4 to clear 15 waves in 8-10 minutes—XP per minute here is 1,500+.
World Bosses (2/day): Bosses like Ashava or Duriel drop 15,000 XP + rare gear. Join a pre-made party via the in-game LFG tool to ensure quick spawn participation.
Bounty Missions (20/day): Each bounty gives 2,500 XP. Focus on zones with clustered objectives (e.g., Kehjistan’s "Purge the Coven" requires killing 10 cultists in one area, taking 2 minutes total).
Demon Gates (unlimited, but capped at 5/day for full rewards): Each gate clears in 5 minutes, yielding 7,000 XP. Target gates marked with red skulls for higher-tier demons and better drops.
Pro Tip: Activate your Booster (a 30-minute XP multiplier) during Challenge Rifts or World Bosses. Boosters stack with party bonuses (20% XP for each additional player), so group up during these windows.
Leveraging the Battle Pass: Free vs. Premium Gains
The Seasonal Battle Pass (renewed quarterly) offers 20 levels of XP when fully completed. Even the free track grants 10 levels—enough to shave 2-3 hours off your leveling time. Prioritize pass objectives that align with daily activities: e.g., completing 5 Bounties counts toward both your daily XP and pass progress.
2. Resource Farming: Gold, Gems, and Legendary Gear—What You Need, How to Get It
Post-level 60, your focus shifts to gear upgrades, Legendary Gems, and Gold for the Auction House. Here’s how to optimize each resource:
Gold: The Lifeblood of the Economy
Gold is used for crafting, socketing gems, and buying gear. The most reliable sources (tested in 2024’s economy) are:
Auction House Flipping: Buy underpriced rare gear (ilvl 450-500), enchant it with +Gold Affixes, and resell. Profit margins average 30-50% per transaction.
Helliquary Runs: Each Helliquary (a 10-minute solo dungeon) drops 1,500-2,000 Gold. Run 5/day for 7,500-10,000 Gold.
Weekly Vaults: The Vault of the Incarnate (unlocked at level 55) rewards 5,000 Gold weekly. Team up with 3 others to clear its 3 stages quickly.
Avoid selling rare gear directly—enchant first for higher Gold value. For example, a rare chest piece with +15% Gold from Monsters sells for 8,000 Gold, vs. 3,500 unenchanted.
Legendary Gems: The Key to Endgame Power
Legendary Gems (LGs) are game-changers. Here’s how to farm them:
| Gem Type | Best Farm Method | Drop Rate (Estimated) |
|---|---|---|
| Combat Gems (e.g., Energy Core) | World Bosses (Ashava, Duriel) | 15% chance per boss kill (with Party Bonus) |
| Support Gems (e.g., Arachnid’s Grasp) | Challenge Rifts (Tier 5+) | 10% chance per rift (higher with Rift Keystones) |
| Elite Gems (e.g., Shadow's Mantle) | Hell Difficulty IV+ Dungeons | 5% chance per dungeon clear |
Legendary Gear: Crafting vs. Dropping
While Legendary gear drops in dungeons, crafting via the Blacksmith is more reliable. To craft a Legendary item (ilvl 600+), you need:
500 Arcane Dust (from salvaging rare/legendary gear)
100 of the item’s material (e.g., Demonhide for leather armor)
A Legendary Aspect (dropped in dungeons or bought from the Auction House)
Prioritize crafting for slots with unique Aspects (e.g., a Wizard’s "Frost Nova Freeze Chance" Aspect). For general gear, farm Hell Difficulty III dungeons—they drop ilvl 550+ legendaries with 2-3 affixes.
3. Endgame Domination: Raids, Hell Difficulties, and PvP
Once you hit level 60 and gear up, endgame content becomes your focus. Here’s how to excel in raids, higher Hell Tiers, and Player vs. Player (PvP):
The Vault of the Incarnate: A Raid Guide
This 4-player raid has 3 phases, each requiring specific roles. For Phase 1 (The Shattered Throne):
Tanks: Taunt the Incarnate’s minions to prevent AoE wipes.
DPS: Focus fire on the Incarnate’s shield generators (they restore 20% health if left alive).
Healers: Maintain a 30% HP buffer—Phase 1 ends with a 50% AoE that hits all players.
Phase 2 (The Echoing Abyss) introduces teleporting platforms. Use the "Echo Tracker" buff (dropped by defeated minions) to see invisible paths. Phase 3 (The Final Reckoning) requires coordinated interrupts—assign 1 player per Incarnate ability to prevent wipes.
Hell Difficulty: Scaling Your Power
Hell Difficulty (HD) increases enemy stats but also rewards better gear. To unlock HD IV (the current max), you need an Item Power (IP) of 650. Here’s how to scale:
HD I-III: Farm Challenge Rifts with +20% XP/Gold Affixes to boost IP to 600.
HD IV: Focus on the Vault of the Incarnate (rewards IP 650 gear) and Helliquary runs with Party Boosts (4-player groups give +30% drop rates).
Pro Tip: Use the "Hell Difficulty Calculator" on Blizzard’s official site to estimate how much IP you need for each tier.
PvP: Battlegrounds and Conquest
Diablo Immortal’s PvP modes (Battlegrounds and Conquest) reward Glory Points, which unlock exclusive gear. For Battlegrounds (5v5 capture-the-flag):
Play a tanky class (Barbarian or Crusader) to protect the flag carrier.
Use crowd-control abilities (e.g., Wizard’s Frost Nova) to stall enemy pushes.
Focus on objective points—kills give 100 Glory, but capturing the flag gives 500.
In Conquest (3v3 arena), prioritize sustain. Healers (Monk or Necromancer) should keep the team at 70% HP+, while DPS focus on burst down squishy targets first.

FAQ: Common Questions About Diablo Immortal and VMOS Cloud
Q: Is there a daily XP cap in Diablo Immortal, and how can I avoid it?
Yes, the daily XP cap is 150% of your level’s required XP (e.g., 150,000 XP for level 55). To avoid hitting the cap early, spread high-XP activities (Challenge Rifts, World Bosses) across the day. Use VMOS Cloud to run Bounties or Demon Gates in the background while you’re away—this ensures you’re always gaining XP without active play.
Q: What’s the best way to farm Legendary Gems for a new player?
Focus on World Bosses and Challenge Rifts. World Bosses drop Combat Gems (critical for damage), while Challenge Rifts yield Support Gems (useful for survivability). Join a guild—guild members often share boss spawn times, increasing your participation rate. For free players, the first 3 runs of Challenge Rifts daily give guaranteed Gem shards, which can be combined into full Gems over time.
Q: How does VMOS Cloud improve the Diablo Immortal experience compared to playing on a regular phone?
VMOS Cloud eliminates device limitations. Low-end phones often lag during intense battles (e.g., World Bosses), but VMOS Cloud streams the game from high-performance servers, ensuring smooth 60fps gameplay. Additionally, its multi-instance feature lets you run Diablo Immortal alongside other apps (like Discord for party coordination) without draining your phone’s battery. For players who want to farm 24/7, VMOS Cloud’s "Always-On" mode keeps your character active even when your phone is off—perfect for completing daily quests while you sleep.
