Things to have in your Item Transfer stash before you start

Crucible Aspirant Difficulty 1-10 leveling

Start Crucible Aspirant Difficulty.
Put into your inventory all prepared things.
Use all Faction Mandates you have.
Use Potion of Clarity.
Beat 10 waves (1 round).
Gear up for the next step (use the drop from 10 waves, craft or buy yellow/green stuff).
Spend all skill points on 1 skilll only (an AoE or a pet skill that doesn't depend on weapon stats e.g. Occultist Summon Familiar, Inquisitor Word of Pain, Oathkeeper Aegis of Menhir etc.).

Main Campaign Elite Difficulty 10-21 leveling

Use Savior's Merit (Should be done on Normal Difficulty).
Use Potion of Clarity.
Take all quests in Devil's Crossing.
Complete Walking to Misery quest (jump straight to Kyzogg the Reanimator using Lower Crossing Rift, use Royal Jelly Balm and Venomfang Oil or a pet to slay him, DO NOT ACTIVATE ANY SHRINES yet, jump back to Devil's Crossing).
Complete all quests available within the Devil's Crossing area (use 5 Scrap and 4 Aether Crystals you had).
Keep maxing out only 1 skill you use.

Crucible Aspirant Difficulty 21-27 leveling

Go back to Crucible Aspirant Difficulty.
Use Potion of Clarity.
Beat 10 waves (1 round) 13 times (you will get 39 tributes +3 tributes you had before)
Use 40 tributes to get 10 Devotion points (from Torralia, the Immortal Archmage NPC on the Crucible arena).

All previous steps take ~1 hour by this moment.

Main Campaign Normal Difficulty 27-30 leveling

All previous steps take ~1 hour 30 minutes by this moment and you should have 30 Devotion points and ~30 level.

Main Campaign Elite Difficulty 30-45/60 leveling

Use Potion of Clarity.
Play any way till you get 45-60 level (I just go through all quests till Warden to gain Devil's Crossing reputation and 45 level and then randomly finish leveling till 50-60 level if needed or jump to Ultimate at level 45).
Jump Ultimate Difficulty.
Enjoy the game!
