Like all great RPGs, you achieve this Level cap And Item power max Diablo 4 is the ultimate endgame goal that everyone pursues. How can you make your character as strong as possible? Of course you have reached the maximum level!
While the idea of maximum level used to be very complex Diablo 4Blizzard has made it much easier with this Vessel of hate Extension. The idea of loot breakpoints is also mostly gone, and loot gain becomes less about the numerical listing of “item power” at the top of the item and more about its stats and affixes – at least in the endgame.
Included Diablo 4 In this guide, we’ll show you how to ensure you get the maximum gear level and efficiently boost your character to maximum power.

In Diablo 4 there is a maximum player level and a maximum Paragon level, which are now separated from each other – similar to Diablo 3if you know.
When you create a new character, you start at level one. As you complete campaign missions, kill enemies, complete activities, etc., you gain XP, level up, and earn skill points to improve your build. This is pretty standard RPG stuff. This will continue until you reach it Level 60.
At level 60, you no longer level up and have all of your level skill points (you can get skill points in other places, such as the Renown System and the Altars of Lilith). Then unlock it Paragon System. Instead of gaining skill points with each level, your XP contributes to your Paragon level, which happens very quickly (at first). For each Paragon level you achieve, you will receive one Paragon point. There are 300 Paragon levels.
If you need help leveling up quickly, check out our XP farming guide.
Level 60 with level 300 Paragon is the true cap of the gameand you will no longer receive XP after this point. This is an extreme endgame goal and is not achieved by most players. Even very dedicated players will likely end up losing between 200 and 300 Paragon points as the system slows down quite dramatically.
You’ll start this journey anew every season unless you want to play in the Eternal Realm, which we don’t typically recommend.
What is the maximum item power level?

Your main goal in Diablo 4 consists of adventuring through the difficulty levels until you first reach Torment difficulty Torment 1. Until then, you want to equip as many items as possible at the highest level you have, regardless of affixes. Until then, only legendary powers and the highest possible stats count.
Once you reach Torment 1, all affixes, legendary powers, and items can be dropped for you. If you play long enough, you could become a maxed-out character at Torment 1 (although drop rates are better at higher Torment levels). Torment drops all level 60 legendary items Item Power 750. Once you’re here, all you’re looking for are better stats and affixes.
The real hunting here is for Ancestral legendary and unique Article. These items are always included 800 item power and have at least one Major affix (basically an affix that is significantly stronger than a normal affix but cannot be changed) attached to them. As you progress into the endgame, look for all 750 pieces of Legendary gear and as many Ancients as you can get. Then you want to start replacing your 750 Legendaries with 800 Ancients. And then you want to start replacing your 800 Ancients with Ancients that have several big affixes that are good for your build.
