How to change World Tier in Diablo 4

Jesse Lennox
By

All the prior entries in the Diablo franchise have stuck to a more traditional difficulty level system where you select from a list ranging from easy up through hard and beyond. In Diablo 4, the system has been altered somewhat in the form of World Tiers. This system does more than just change how tough the enemies are, however, so understanding exactly how they work and how to change it as you play is the only way to build the ultimate demon slayer. Before you head off into the depths of Sanctuary, here's how to change your World Tier and what effect it will have in Diablo 4.

How to change World Tiers

Even though you select a World Tier upon booting up the game, you aren't stuck with that choice for the rest of your game. There are two ways to change it whenever you wish.

Step 1: The easiest way to change your World Tier is to simply go to the main menu.

Step 2: Select the Change World Tier option.

Step 3: Choose whichever World Tier you want to play on.

Step 4: The second way is to change it while in the game.

Step 5: Travel to any World Tier Statue that can be found in all major locations in Diablo 4, the first you will find being Kyovashad.

Step 6: Interact with it and choose your new World Tier (note that this will load you into a new instance of the game).

When you first begin Diablo 4 you will have the option to pick between World Tier 1 and 2, but see that two additional levels are available. Here's what each one means, and how to unlock those two additional tiers: * Tier 1 - The basic level suited for new players. Level 1-50. Monsters give 20% more XP and 15% more Gold. * Tier 2 - Suited for experienced players who want a tougher challenge. Level 1-50. * Tier 3 (Must beat the campaign and the Cathedral of Light Capstone Dungeon at World Tier 2) – Intended for players who want a significant challenge. Level 50-70. Adds Sacred and Unique item drops, Nightmare Sigils, Helltide enemies can spawn, and Champion monsters gain resistance auras. Monsters give 100% more XP, 15% more Gold, and overcome 20% Resistance. * Tier 4 (Must complete the Fallen Temple Capstone Dungeon on World Tier 3) – This is for the most hardcore players who want to put their best build to the test. Level 70+. Adds Ancestral items and more Unique item drops. Monsters give 200% more XP, 15% more Gold, and overcome 40% Resistance.

How to set a course in Starfield
Cockpit in spaceship from Starfield.

Rather than build one massive world like in an Elder Scrolls title, Bethesda opted to create hundreds of planets to travel between in the aptly named Starfield. While not every planet is necessary to visit, you will be jumping between them extremely frequently to complete missions, do sidequests, build outposts, and generally explore. When you are first shoved into the pilot's seat, it can feel overwhelming coming to grips with how the system works. If you just want to get from point A to B, setting a course is the easiest way to dos o. Here's how to get where you need to be without searching the massive star map in Starfield.

How to get Structural Materials in Starfield
Starfield planet.

Starfield has a massive expanded the amount of things you can build and craft. From entire Outposts to weapon mods and research projects, everything you want to craft will require specific materials to create. These materials will be found all over the various planets, either as lootable objects, ores you need to mine, or even as items you can purchase from various vendors, but some will always be harder to find than others. Structural Materials, while not the rarest resource, are used in nearly every aspect of Outpost building and upgrades. If you're running low on this crucial building block, here's how to get more Structural Materials in Starfield.
Ways to get Structural Materials

Like any resource in Starfield, there's more than one way to get your hands on Structural Materials. The easiest, but most expensive, will be to simply buy them from one of the many shops around the galaxy. Vendors' stock is slightly variable from day to day, but you can typically rely on any of your more "general" stores to carry this common material, such as the Jemison Mercantile in New Atlantis or Shepard's General Store on Akila. Each vendor will only hold a specific amount, so if you need a lot, you will need to do a little legwork. After buying out everything a vendor has, if you wait for 24 hours at a chair or bed, you can go back and their stock will be replenished.

How to unlock the Pilgrim’s room in Starfield
Cockpit in spaceship from Starfield.

For the most part, the main questline in Starfield won't challenge you too much in terms of puzzle-solving. Missions tend to boil down to getting an objective, fast traveling to a location, and following your marker until you collect an Artifact. Since you can only unlock all the powers by going through the main quests, you will at least want to complete most of them before going off and doing all the faction missions, outpost building, or general space exploration. There's one mission, though, that can be a roadblock if you're not extra observant and invested in reading all the lore. If you don't know the answers to opening the Pilgrim's Computer in Starfield, here is all the information you need.
Pilgrim Computer's answers

After you arrive at Pilgrim's Rest and explore, you will be led to the small base that's full of notes, among dozens of other items. Your objective is behind a locked door that asks you a few questions that you're supposed to learn the answers to by hunting down and reading all the notes. This isn't a door you can lockpick no matter how high your skill level is, so selecting the right answers is the only way forward. Here are all the questions you will be asked, and the correct responses:
