Getting Started Guide

FAQs

Can I mess a character up?

No. You can reset almost everything except for a character’s base class. To reset a class, delete and remake the character. You can buy up to 18 character slots.

Why do I still gain EXP after 150?

You gain the Soul Orb currency necessary for crafting on gear

Can I wear two of the same Divine/Augment/Enchant?

Yes. Green numbers on gear stack while white does not

I’m not getting items I’m supposed to. Where are they?

Open your chests. That’s where a lot of the rewards are. Otherwise, RNG

I just beat my first raid boss. Where do I find X?

Congrats, you just got your first unique item. Uniques are found and equipped from the Reliquary tab on the middle bar

Item Comparator Tutorial

• Located at the bottom left of the inventory, it makes gearing while leveling a non-issue.
• Set Equip preference to fine tune the gear recommendations.
• Decide whether or not to keep the “Use 2H?” checkbox ticked. Two-handers hit harder but are slower.
• Tick “Scrap by default” to send unworn gear to the scrapper automatically.
• Lock gear or keep in a separate bag to avoid scrapping by mistake.
• “Best Equip All” will automatically go through all the gear in that bag picking gear for you based on your Equip Preference.
• Item Comparator is only checking the face value and not the potential of an item nor Divine bonuses.
• Good/Easy for gearing from level 1 to a fresh 150. You should start picking your own gear at 150.

Leveling to 150

• Stay on a map clearing streak for an extra 25% EXP capped at 5+ clears (upper left).
• If some rare/empowered monsters are wrecking your team and ruining your clear streak, use the map expertise passives to remove tougher mobs from appearing.
• Bonus maps (101+) have extra EXP gain you can see in Area Modifiers (upper left).
• One of the best early enchants (101+) you can get is Expedient for reaching bosses faster for more map expertise. Try to roll Hunts for or farm Frigid Wasteland.
• Magic/Rare/Nemesis/Empowered monsters provide more EXP/rewards in exchange for having more life/damage.

Gear / Inventory

• Use the autoscrapper settings along with the glossary to keep your bags uncluttered.
• Uncommon items can be autoscrapped almost as soon as the option becomes available. You should be aiming to be wearing mostly Legendary+ at 150 and only Mythical+ once you’re comfortable in Bounties.
• At 150, go through the glossary and filter out any undesirable items, especially items that you can craft at the blacksmith.
• Item Comparator can also clear bags quickly if set to Scrap by default.
• Hotkeys make inventory management easier.
• Hunt Tasks (101+) are fantastic for getting easy upgrades and Divines.
• Divines are an easy way to get stats as they will always have max attribute ranks.
• When upgrading equipment at the blacksmith, you can save a lot of materials by maxing out “Randomise Attribute Ranks” before using “Upgrade Attributes”.
• Set your Bag Settings by right clicking a bag. You can change name/icons for easier navigation and even some auto-sort options by determining what a bag will/won’t hold.
• If your bags are full from leaving the game on overnight and not setting autoscrap, you can right click an item and Bulk Scrap specific items for easy clean up.
• More/Multipliers are generally more powerful bonuses than Increased/Additive due to availability and… well, math.

Professions / Flasks

• Right click and then “Replace Worst” is a quick way to keep your tools up-to-date. Alternatively you can use the hotkey E for the same purpose.
• If the above choice doesn’t show, it’s fairly safe to scrap.
• Flask of Healing is a cheap defensive flask that can be used early and isn’t used every combat loop like other flasks.
• Flasks can generally be ignored until Factions/Raids. You’ll run out of materials quickly if used on prior content due to lacking tools/short combat loop.
• Change the tier of resources being harvested as necessary for faster Upgrades.

Miscellaneous

• Glossary is your best friend if you take the time to read it.
• Check Achievements for easy completes for extra reward modifiers.
• You can pause and hover over buffs/debuffs to see what they do.
• Character experimentation really opens up at raids with the ability to farm a lot of materials quickly.
• Having the Cut Peridot gem set bonus on one character can keep your gold ahead of blacksmith gear upgrade costs.
• Raids unlock a lot earlier than Factions. I recommend advancing through at least tier 1 of Factions before trying Raids so you have a faction skill and access to better gear.
• Match 2 is a good filter setting for gems above Meteorite if you’re trying to get a little extra stats. Otherwise, the bonus stat is the important part.
• You can clear heroic raids without optimal Abyss gems. It’s only really needed if you’re trying to min/max or push high Endless content.
• Team synergy is the most important part to getting higher DPS in 6man content.
