When you have picked your character you next have to choose a difficulty. The higher the difficulty you go the quicker you will level up and gain more experience. If you do hard then that’s better than easy because 1. It’s not that much more difficult and 2. You will level up quicker.

When you’re going on your quests you should explore everywhere. It will make it longer but you have a chance to find a hidden legendary item.
