You cannot progress in Diablo 4 without earning skill points and spending them on the available character skills. To help you build your characters efficiently, here’s a detailed guide to quickly earn skill points in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 has launched with several new features such as Battle Pass, Renown, mounts, and world bosses. As part of the journey, players are spending hours building their favorite characters and classes with skill points.

Building a character in Diablo 4 obviously includes weapons and gear but the skill tree is the core of it. You can unlock and upgrade a ton of skills and use them together to make unstoppable characters for boss fights, PvP, and other content.

Now that we know about their significance, let’s take a look at the best ways to quickly get Skill Points in Diablo 4.

Best ways to quickly get Skill Points in Diablo 4

Leveling Up

You get one Skill Point every time you level up in Diablo 4 until level 50. You start with 0 Skill Points at level 1 and reaching level 50 should result in a total of 48 Skill Points. This is because reaching level 49 will hand out the final Skill Point and level 50 will reward you with your first Paragon Point.

How to level up fast in Diablo 4

These are some tips to help you level up fast in Diablo 4:

  • Play with higher world tier players/friends in co-op and get better rewards.
  • Complete side quests.
  • Take part in World Boss events.
  • Complete Side Dungeons.
  • Use multiplayer features like couch co-op and crossplay to team up with friends. Playing in a party will hand out bonus XP.
  • Complete Renown challenges for bonus XP.

Renown system

Renown system in Diablo 4
Renown is a new world exploration mechanic in Diablo 4.

Diablo 4 has five distinct regions called Scosglen, Fractured Peaks, Dry Steppes, Hawezar, and Kehjistan, and exploring them is a great way to get Skill Points.

Every region in Diablo 4 gives Renown for exploration and Skill Points are rewards for reaching different Renown tiers which include:

  • 200 Renown: Bonus XP, 3,000 gold, and one Skill Point for all characters.
  • 500 Renown: Bonus XP, 10,000 gold, and one Potion Charge for all characters.
  • 800 Renown: Bonus XP, 25,000 gold, and one Skill Point for all characters.

Hence, you can get free Skill Points by completing the Renown challenges of a region.

You can increase your Renown in Diablo 4 by:

  • Discovering areas – 5 Renowns.
  • Discover an Altar of Lillith – 10 Renowns.
  • Unlock waypoint – 20 Renowns.
  • Side quests – 20 Renowns.
  • Side dungeons – 20 Renowns.
  • Clear stronghold – 100 Renowns.

Assuming that every region’s Renown challenges hand out two additional skill points, you can get a total of 10 Skill Points by exploring the five regions in the game.

To sum it up, you can get a total of 58 Skill Points in Diablo 4 and there are two ways to get them – leveling up and earning Renown from region exploration.
