There are five Diablo 4 World Tiers, but when you first start out, you’ll only see two of them as the others need to be unlocked through progress.

If you’re a new player in Diablo 4 and wondering what World Tier to choose, we recommend going with World Tier 2: Veteran. This difficulty level grants you 20% more experience and 15% more gold when killing enemies, which means you’ll level up faster and have more money for upgrades and useful items.

However, if you’re playing by yourself and prefer a more leisurely pace, you can stick to World Tier 1: Adventurer. It’s easier and enemies won’t be as challenging, but you won’t level up as fast. Ultimately, the choice is up to you, and you can always adjust the difficulty later on if you find it too easy or too difficult.

If you want to switch up your difficulty level in Diablo 4, there are a couple of ways. The first and simplest option is to change the World Tier from the main menu by selecting the “Change World Tier” button on the right side of the screen. But, you won’t be able to do this while in-game.

The second option is to visit a World Tier Statue, shaped like the rogue angel Inarius, in any major city. By selecting it, you can choose a new World Tier and will load into a new instance of Sanctuary. For instance, the World Tier Statue in Kyovashad can be found in the city’s northeastern corner, just south of the Cathedral of Light.

It’s also worth noting that if you’re using Diablo 4 crossplay or multiplayer in general, you’ll need to be in the same World Tier as your friends so you can connect to each other.

That’s everything you need to know about how World Tiers will work in Diablo 4. We hope it can help you get a better experience in the game.
