The time to stop evil is upon us yet again, and should you choose the path of the Neplahem, you will once again be facing an overwhelming horde of demons that will do everything they can to stop you. As the first Diablo game to feature MMO elements and is free-to-play, there are definitely some changes and mechanics players will need to get used to in Diablo Immortal. Here are the five main things to do first in Diablo Immortal to get your adventure started efficiently.
Choosing the Right Class

This should be familiar to anyone who has ever played a Diablo game, and choosing a class will determine the different ways you can approach combat. However, for Diablo Immortal, the caveat is that there is no longer a shared stash, so items cannot be transferred from one character to the other, and the same goes for Battle Pass rewards that benefit only one character.
Be sure to pick the right class for you, whether it is a melee class or one that excels at range. For those that prefer dealing high damage to a single target, the Demon Hunter and Necromancer would be great picks. Support types should go for the Crusader and Monk, who are also capable of decent AoE damage, while the Barbarian and Wizard are great at controlling crowds and pummeling them into oblivion. Your play style matters, so pick carefully.
Enable Auto Pick-Up

With plenty of loot that will spill out of dead demons, you definitely do not want to spend any more time trying to pick them up one by one. Head to the game settings as soon as you can, turn on Auto Item Pick-up if it isn’t toggled on already, and ensure that it covers all tiers of rarity, at least at the start. This way, you will always be stocked up on better gear, and have the rest be available for salvaging with a view to upgrades in the near future.
Grab Your Rewards

Diablo Immortal might have microtransactions, but it also gives players incentives to play even if you are not planning to spend a dime. Regular sessions will ensure that you get the many daily rewards that are doled out. Remember to check the rewards section when you log into the game every day, and come back before you sign off. Rewards that are missed will not be claimable once the deadline has passed, so you have been warned.
Gearing Up

As you start chomping into Diablo Immortal, it is important not to get into the minutiae of stats and gains. You should still be having fun and just equip the best gear you find whenever possible. The simplest way to do this is to look at your inventory, find the gear with green arrows pointing up, and switch out accordingly.
This will have you powered up sufficiently most of the time for the new challenges ahead, and you can scrap everything else that is of no use to use as upgrading materials.
Story First

With useful gear at your side and a class that suits your play style, it is time to beat the forces of evil back to hell. Following the main storyline in Diablo Immortal will do most players just fine and get you up to a certain level and power. Once you find yourself getting stuck at some stage and in need of grinding, branch out.
Instead of just constantly killing respawning monsters, try something new. There are Battle Pass objectives to complete, dungeons to clear, bounties to claim, side tasks to do, and even optional hidden lairs that can grant extra XP. Make sure you get all of these done when you can and lessen the grind.
And those are the big things to do first in Diablo Immortal to have the best start in this new game. Be sure to check out Twinfinite for even more useful guides, and enjoy your time fighting the forces of evil in Diablo Immortal.
