@@CreativeGamingUA-cam you need to update your monolith trick dude.. i'm lvl 73 and i can do reign of dragon lvl85 and i am killing ennemy, i'm not rushing.. so if i listen to your guide i should play an area lvl 85 at lvl 73 or less, earning less xp, then unlocking the area lvl 90 at lvl 75... and continuing to get less xp each time... yeah sure i will not loose time doing them for nothing, getting early buff that can maybe be better cause i got a bad roll on empowered one...? but what is sure is that i'm loosing almost 10 lvl of xp cause i'm outside of xp penalty.. grinding high lvl area...
You talking about the part where he says go right instead of left? Cause he didn't say specifically to skip it, just to do the right side and last 3 first, which as someone who does all the content, I agree with, it's better that way. The left side doesn't give you stat boosts, just drop rate increases for specific things, so it's not as important, and once you finish the last 3, you can still do the left side ones, they haven't been skipped.
@@Dharengo yeah I mean this video is kinda shit regardless, he gets a few things wrong and most of the info is common sense or has been covered extensively. I do think you should wait to do the left ones if you're not struggling difficult wise and get to empowered as fast as possible because you're gonna want to do all of them, even the ones you've already completed on normal, again to get the grand blessings that you only get in empowered. The drop rate ones are really useful as you get closer to level cap, the stat bonuses are just vital as you are just getting into monoliths.
This mistake is responsible for the armenian genocide, the irish potato famine, the vietnamise war (oh god they are in the trees), my late grandma Denice, my receeding hairline, and me stepping on a lego. I cannot forgive this
2:38 Technically, you can still do something with Exalted mods, like rerolling the value within its Tier with a Rune of Refinement and hope to make it higher number (not Tier). Or even using a Rune of Removal for a guaranteed chance to get 6 or 7 affix shards of that Exalted mod if you get lucky and remove it (depending if its T6 or T7), better compared to using a Rune of Shattering and just getting 1 affix shard of that mod. You got to keep in mind the forging potential when doing so, but atleast exalted items tend to roll higher forging potential anyway.
2things i would add to the video are : - to simplify prefixes and suffixes prefixes are for damage (either %damage or +X to specific skill) or utility (move speed,cdr ...) related stats and suffixes are defence stats (like physical resistance, resistance when channeling and so on). - using a glyphe of hope increase the odd of getting the shard when using the first rune also adding an explanation for the endurance threshold would be cool too as it's kind of an unusual thing
general rule of thumb, prefix is offence, suffix are defence. this isnt true 100% of the time for example vitality is a prefix but it offers only defence (hp)
If you care at all, affix is pronounced differently as a noun and a verb. The way you're pronouncing it is the verb form. However, most of the time you're referring to "an affix" which is pronounced "AF-fix." The Merrian-Webster online dictionary has audio demos for the difference.
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam well well but relax. Affix is _latin,_ and was brought in, when the *church,* changed *original* (old) ænglish (Also _"Language of the Angels"_ a _"old Low German"_ tribes language, most influenced by the _"Saxon (Sachsen)"_ old low german tribe (origin of today Germany _"Niedersachsen"_ ), how *"the church"* wanted ænglish to be. So a _"forced"_ language change to make way, bringing in their dead language words of latin. Deer, not only sounds similar to german *Tier,* they are in fact, the same. Tier is the root word of Deer. In origin (old) english, "small deer" means "small creature(s)" not just 1 specific one. Also in writting: > Old ænglish: *Dior* > Old low german: *Tior* ... This is why ænglish was a very long time considered *a old low german dialect!!* So dun give to much about how to pronounce a forced in word lit. not belonging into the language. *Did you know,* old ænglish had the same articles German has? Btw. "Hoch German" or High German, is *also* a unnatural change of the language, also *by the church,* forced in, how "they" wanted german to be and also drop in massive latin words in. Which is why the most favorite german state slogan is from "Baden Württemberg": _"We can do everything. But High German."_ Related to regional dialects in their original forms, are seen with higher status & High german as a "weak/lower" form of german. Cheers
LP is random from 0 to 4 ^^ LP = Number of Stats the item will Randomly Obtain from an Exalted item = Higher LP Higher chance of u getting the stats u need
This was really handy, I had no idea what the cap for resists were or how to go about crafting. I knew that there was tier 1-7 but not that 6 and 7 were locked to exalts.
My man you do not need a loud notification telling us to subscribe every 5 minutes. My memory is not quite so bad and it's annoying and makes it hard to hear what you're saying.
Nitpick: the time taken to re-earn the skill point(s) that you lose when you respecc a skill, is a function of your current level. The lower your level, the longer it takes to re-earn each point. Example: very early game, around level 20 say, it'll take hours to re-earn a skill point; while at level 100 it takes seconds.
@@dylanstanfill2897 I meant to re-level an unspeced skill sorry. I measured it. At level 30, I had Fireball at level 10. I wanted to try Lightning Bolt so I respeced. It took 1.5 hours to get LB to level 10, then I decided to spec back to FB and it took just under 1.5 hours to get back to level 10 again. So 3 hour turnaround just to experiment with one skill over another. Terrible. Early game is where the player wants to experiment most with skills.
@@ghostlightx9005 Early game is really easy, the campaign is not difficult at all, especially after your first playthrough and you've gotten some leveling uniques. Plus you unlock mastery slots as you go through that which gives you that room to experiment with different skills. Just because it took you that long doesn't mean it takes that long. I've cleared the campaign in 4 hours before. My first playthrough only took me like 8, and that's slow compared to a lot of people. Once you get to monoliths, there are methods to make respeccing into a new skill you've never used much faster as well. So any experimentation you didn't get to in the campaign can be expedited here. As you level up, the minimum skill level goes up, and this makes it super easy to experiment more because you'll be able to put 10/20 points into that skill immediately to really give you a good feel for if you're going to like it or not. If you find a skill you like, but you're not sure it will give you more dps, you can then take it into monos where you'll be able to level it up to 20 much faster than in campaign and make sure to take all the XP tome nodes you see, because they not only give your character XP, but they also give a huge boost to your skill XP. So I'd argue that it's relatively easy to experiment at any point in the game without much time investment if you are taking advantage of the systems offered to you. I concede that most people won't know the optimal way to do it when they first start the game, but that's not the games fault. I'm confident the majority of players have never even looked at the game guide that is built into the game. Which is fine, I'm all for figuring things out yourself as you play, but it doesn't make sense to act like you have definitive answers or methods to doing something when you're disregarding systems the game offers for you to optimize your time efficiency.
@@ghostlightx9005 TLDR: instead of replacing fireball with LB you should have just waited to unlock your next master slot, which either just happened or happens soon, I forget the levels you get them, and just slotted LB into the new one you unlock to try it out.
Rare items can have more than 3 affixes it can be completely filled out the only difference between rare and exalted is that exalted items have 1 or more tier 6 or 7 affixes. A rare item can have 4 affixes but be different tiers from 1 to 5.
You can also get an exalted item with just the one exalted affix. So there's another difference. I've had exalted items drop that just had a single T6 affix and nothing else, I've had some drop with 2 affixes, 3, and of course 4. What makes an item exalted isn't the amount, just having a T6 or T7 affix.
You also get drastically increased EXP for training skills up to ~90% of your current maximum. On level 40-50 it takes ~2-3 of the Monoliths instances (single maps, not the whole thing) to bring the skill up again. Heard the same about the higher Levels. You can also respecc a Skill before collecting the XP-Tomes from a Mono, so you start way Higher than the minimum
The Red Rune is like the shattering. Use it when you have a very rare affix on an item you really want. It gives you 100% amount shards but for the cost of FP and it only takes off one stat ramdomly. If you reach FP 0 you can still use the shattering rune!
One thing funny i find is you have to do EVERY platform to unlock the middle nod that unlocks empowered monoliths yet every youtuber and tiktoker says you just need to do the right side....also i never crafted till about 60 and i blew through the game as a warlock, think it just depends on the class and player
I feel like I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong in this game. I'm really trying to love it as it's a breath of fresh air coming from this.... other popular arpg (lol) but I have a level 58 acolyte and I can't seem to do any damage lol I've spent about 100,000 gold re speccing and I'm on the verge of deleting the character and calling it a day.
@CarySmith87 What acolyte mastery? I'm running a warlock. I recommend checking out a build guide for your mastery on either maxroll or icyveins. Both sites go over all aspects of how to spec and gear to look for. I find it very helpful, then after I understand more of what I'm doing plan to tweak the build to experiment. I am much lower lvl than you but so far their build I'm using seems very powerful and fun.
@beckyp867 I went with the necromancer. I've tried maxroll etc but those guides all seem to be geared to level 100 players. I don't have that many points. Only 71 to spend.
Once you figure it out it’s super fun! Check out some builds for Acolyte and hang In there. Getting the right affixes on your gear is super important to be able to doing damage
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam No worries dude! Great video regardless. Been playing this game since 2020 and totally agree with all your points. Just had to throw a warning in there for other headphone users since my ears were dying. 🤣
Dude, your stash looks so neat. Could you do a short vid or a description link on how you organize it? I would sit down and try to maximize the most ideal set up but it would be great if we could share just one setup throughout the community as a "starting point" or the ideal setup.
When you say "Craft early" how early are we talking? I just finished the campaign and started monoliths. I feel like crafting is just a waste because I replace each piece of gear so fast I feel like I'm just wasting good shards.
Remember you can shatter gears or remove affixes (requires potential) using runes when you found a replacement. So you don’t really waste them completely because you can recycle old gears. On my first play-through I started crafting at around level 25.
Craft early as soon as possible through the campaign. Just get in the habit of doing it coz affix shards are not that hard to come by even early on. And you'll just get faster at doing it to the point is not really as waste of time. Just capping out your Phys Res or adding DMG to a good base you find along the way helps clearing content faster without randomly getting destroyed.
It amazes me how so many UA-camrs don't know how to simply explain crafting lol. They always over complicate. This guy doesn't seem to know that each mono has 12 possible blessings.
You have such a clean Northern/Midwestern accent - but why do you pronounce "affix" in the way you do - a-fix? Dictionary puts the accent on the A - for ah-fex.
Be careful when it comes to resists. It really depends on the build you're running. For example, my Rogue doesn't need to have physical as high as the others, as I have over 100% crit avoidance and 70% dodge chance, so it's more important for me to max the others first. Just food for thought.
At high level resists barely matter because they're penetrated anyway. The max resist is 75%, that's also the penetration, so you end up with 0 damage reduction from resists. Without any resists you'd take 75% increased damage. Maybe you'd be better off just getting ~10 other stats instead of those resistances?
Another huge thing about crafting is to shatter weapons you won't be using or have no use for anymore. You're gonna wish you had some of those shards later on
#2 - I feel was missing the "what if you already did the bad thing you shouldn't do then do this." I yolo'ed and my blessings are wrong. I now have to Google what to do, lol. Or if I can swap them? No clue. Need to Google still.
Run the Monolith Boss again. Just like Affixes; the blessings have high and low rolls. Its encouraged to do several boss kills to not only get the blessing you want but to get a high roll for that blessing. The purple circle that is around the blessing you are using is indicative of how good the roll you got was. For instance the Increased Unique drop chance Blessing from the first empowered monolith can roll between 11-22%.
So I’ve been told and I read a loading tip that says enemies all gain resist penetration at a rate of 1% per level up to 75. So at level 75 all enemies penetrate 75% resistance, so you actually want to aim for 150% resistance or higher so you are actually at 75% resistance. So it would look like 75%(max)-75%(enemy level)=0% resistance But if you have 150%(75 effective max)-75%(enemy level)=75% resistance
its my understanding that penetrating resistance isnt the same as shredding, so your resistance is unchanged when enemies are penetrating it. if they were shredding your resistance by 75% then yes, they are lowering your resistance, but as it stands they penetrate your resistance, which is 75% at cap. if that were the case every player who pushes high corruption wouldnt be capping at 75 they would be doing what you're saying and pumping res way over cap.
@@darknight602 nah, he said you want to aim for 150% res but you want to just hit cap at 75%. penetration doesnt lower your resistance so gaining 150% res does nothing.
IDEA: the shoulder mounted camera could be for a mission. You call it down and after that you now have to kill bugs/bits and face stratagems going off. This would be recording promotional material to bolster morale in the citizens, essential giving "morale points" to a certain goal. But the catch is dying or facing another player dying loses "morale points" so you have to be perfect or turn around if someone is gonna die. Fun propaganda angle but also kinda a funny sounding mission type.
Do unique items have dedicated drops? Do unique items, like humming bee sword, have different level versions? Like I have level 6 humming bee sword can I fond 1 at level 50? And last question is when you runes to create a unique item from any kind of item, do ypu only get unique the same level you are or can it be anything? For example if I'm level 20 and do it can roll a unique level 70 or will only be level 20 or lower?
quite a nice timing for me. i was just about to start farming corruption in a monolith that an item i wanted drops in. but going to the end first is gonna be way faster to speed it up!
Are you able to clarify one thing about resistance because I've been having a hard time finding a solid answer. The cap is 75%, res shreds can take this down but can be negated by res over the cap. So what is the "perfect" percent of resistance accounting for shred? Some say 100% others say as high as 150%
I disagree with #2. Since completing the story only gets you about 70 levels (if you don't rush, so possibly even less), so doing all the timelines is a nice few levels. Still won't get you to a 100 before you reach empowered tho
Don t wanna be that kind of guy but u never name the mistakes in the video, my man... I didn t click to get the mechanics explained, i cliked for mistakes
You're showing level 87 items on screen when telling us to craft early... What levels qualify as "craft early"? . Also, isn't it pronounced "AF-ix" not "a-FIX"? I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I'm asking so I don't mispronounce it lol.
It sure can. The only thing that a Rune of Ascendance cannot drop you is a unique that is dropped specifically by a certain boss. However, it will drop them all at minimum chance drop rate. You won't get any extra chance at better rolls that you could get from upping corruption in monoliths for example.
Also, it will not take what level you are at into consideration. You could find a Rune of ascendance at level 5, and use it and end up with an item that can't be used until level 65 for example.
See, this is what I don't get. Everyone is suggesting I push to get to empowered monoliths right? So I get there at level 75 or 80 and the mobs are level 100. So I get xp super slowly, kill enemies super slowly, die a lot, etc. I wish there was a more efficient way to get to character level 100 so empowered monoliths are more reasonable in difficulty.
crafting early is a WASTE OF TIME 1. you don't have enough glyphs and runes to take out runes you want. ie rune of removal. so fkn rare and targets random affixes, so you have to use multiples 2. most items have such a low ass forge potential that that by the time u add or remove an affix you spent all that potential. and that's even using the 25% no resource scroll.
I have a question. So I’m finally leave 40 and just started using loot filter and the only thing I basically loot filtered are common white items and magic blue ? Is that proper ?

The Red Rune is like the shattering. Use it when you have a very rare affix on an item you really want. It gives you 100% amount shards but for the cost of FP and it only takes off one stat ramdomly. If you reach FP 0 you can still use the shattering rune!
The emphasis is on the short A (as in apple) in Affix, not the fix. A-fix not a-FIX.
good video, had to watch on mute with subtitles due to how you pronounce afix but good vid none the less
lol I feel that, a-ffix not uh-fix
One thing funny i find is you have to do EVERY platform to unlock the middle nod that unlocks empowered monoliths yet every youtuber and tiktoker says you just need to do the right side....also i never crafted till about 60 and i blew through the game as a warlock, think it just depends on the class and player
Right I'm level 42 druid and I just steam roll it. So far no crafting but I think I'll start soon.
Thank you for this, huge help. You gained a sub!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the explanations. Appreciate it.
My pleasure!
Awesome video man!
Thanks!!
Wow. That was a load of useful information. Thanks
very good and quick explanation of crafting...thanks and subbed!
Thanks!!
I feel like I'm doing EVERYTHING wrong in this game. I'm really trying to love it as it's a breath of fresh air coming from this.... other popular arpg (lol) but I have a level 58 acolyte and I can't seem to do any damage lol I've spent about 100,000 gold re speccing and I'm on the verge of deleting the character and calling it a day.
@CarySmith87 What acolyte mastery? I'm running a warlock. I recommend checking out a build guide for your mastery on either maxroll or icyveins. Both sites go over all aspects of how to spec and gear to look for. I find it very helpful, then after I understand more of what I'm doing plan to tweak the build to experiment. I am much lower lvl than you but so far their build I'm using seems very powerful and fun.
@beckyp867 I went with the necromancer. I've tried maxroll etc but those guides all seem to be geared to level 100 players. I don't have that many points. Only 71 to spend.
Bro I am running around with warlock holding the spoon in my hand melting mono bosses. Tanky too.
Once you figure it out it’s super fun! Check out some builds for Acolyte and hang In there. Getting the right affixes on your gear is super important to be able to doing damage
Just take builds from maxroll webpage if you don't have any experience. You will learn to do them yourself by playing
Thanks for the video! Very informative
Glad it helped!
HEADPHONE WARNING: Subscription prompt is EXTREMELY loud compared to the rest of the video.
Yeah my bad on that one. Missed the volume on that track!
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam No worries dude! Great video regardless. Been playing this game since 2020 and totally agree with all your points. Just had to throw a warning in there for other headphone users since my ears were dying. 🤣
@@TheFirstArsynyc 😂
you really ought to put the "pressure" on the a of affix, not the f sound.. youre turning the verb into a noun and it sounds really bad
Yeah, ah-fixed it in the newer vids!
I actually thought I’d see something new and helpful here.
Dude, your stash looks so neat. Could you do a short vid or a description link on how you organize it? I would sit down and try to maximize the most ideal set up but it would be great if we could share just one setup throughout the community as a "starting point" or the ideal setup.
Thx for your time with this video.
Take a sub.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
Whats better? Crit avoidance or crit damage reduction?
Crit avoidance. If Crit avoidance is at 100% means you avoid all crit so by default you don’t need any crit DR.
When you say "Craft early" how early are we talking? I just finished the campaign and started monoliths. I feel like crafting is just a waste because I replace each piece of gear so fast I feel like I'm just wasting good shards.
Remember you can shatter gears or remove affixes (requires potential) using runes when you found a replacement. So you don’t really waste them completely because you can recycle old gears.
On my first play-through I started crafting at around level 25.
Craft early as soon as possible through the campaign. Just get in the habit of doing it coz affix shards are not that hard to come by even early on. And you'll just get faster at doing it to the point is not really as waste of time. Just capping out your Phys Res or adding DMG to a good base you find along the way helps clearing content faster without randomly getting destroyed.
Craft right away...
It amazes me how so many UA-camrs don't know how to simply explain crafting lol. They always over complicate. This guy doesn't seem to know that each mono has 12 possible blessings.
Great tips. Thx for taking the time to run thru these!
Glad it could help!
Tip #2 is a good one. Even as a "good" ladder player I didnt skip the left side. Always more to learn eh
Learned a thing gave a thumbs up.
You have such a clean Northern/Midwestern accent - but why do you pronounce "affix" in the way you do - a-fix? Dictionary puts the accent on the A - for ah-fex.
Yep, apparently there is a noun and verb. I was using the wrong one lol
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam No problem at all, I am still learning English so it's fun to listen to various creators and learn! Good luck love your videos!
Great, straight to the point guide
Thank you!
Be careful when it comes to resists. It really depends on the build you're running. For example, my Rogue doesn't need to have physical as high as the others, as I have over 100% crit avoidance and 70% dodge chance, so it's more important for me to max the others first. Just food for thought.
At high level resists barely matter because they're penetrated anyway.
The max resist is 75%, that's also the penetration, so you end up with 0 damage reduction from resists.
Without any resists you'd take 75% increased damage.
Maybe you'd be better off just getting ~10 other stats instead of those resistances?
Sometimes exalted items have more than 1 purple stat as well. It's not super common but I wouldn't say it's especially rare either.
Another huge thing about crafting is to shatter weapons you won't be using or have no use for anymore. You're gonna wish you had some of those shards later on
great video 🙂
Thanks!
Really nice guide for beginners! thank you
You got it!!
Great video !
The main reason you choose the timelines to the right is the path is shorter so you get to empowered monoliths sooner.
And everyone that attacks as a melee most of the time should put leech on their gear etc. it helps alot
Agreed! Just started running that with my pally!
#2 - I feel was missing the "what if you already did the bad thing you shouldn't do then do this." I yolo'ed and my blessings are wrong. I now have to Google what to do, lol. Or if I can swap them? No clue. Need to Google still.
Run the Monolith Boss again. Just like Affixes; the blessings have high and low rolls. Its encouraged to do several boss kills to not only get the blessing you want but to get a high roll for that blessing. The purple circle that is around the blessing you are using is indicative of how good the roll you got was. For instance the Increased Unique drop chance Blessing from the first empowered monolith can roll between 11-22%.
Great video , thx !
So I’ve been told and I read a loading tip that says enemies all gain resist penetration at a rate of 1% per level up to 75.
So at level 75 all enemies penetrate 75% resistance, so you actually want to aim for 150% resistance or higher so you are actually at 75% resistance.
So it would look like
75%(max)-75%(enemy level)=0% resistance
But if you have 150%(75 effective max)-75%(enemy level)=75% resistance
its my understanding that penetrating resistance isnt the same as shredding, so your resistance is unchanged when enemies are penetrating it. if they were shredding your resistance by 75% then yes, they are lowering your resistance, but as it stands they penetrate your resistance, which is 75% at cap. if that were the case every player who pushes high corruption wouldnt be capping at 75 they would be doing what you're saying and pumping res way over cap.
@@officialdabaws5228mhm, that's how it works and what the dude said before you already, you just said the same thing LOL
@@darknight602 nah, he said you want to aim for 150% res but you want to just hit cap at 75%. penetration doesnt lower your resistance so gaining 150% res does nothing.
TLDR: just get 75% cap, dont aim for 150%.
Thanks alot didnt know about some runes and how they work.
IDEA: the shoulder mounted camera could be for a mission. You call it down and after that you now have to kill bugs/bits and face stratagems going off. This would be recording promotional material to bolster morale in the citizens, essential giving "morale points" to a certain goal. But the catch is dying or facing another player dying loses "morale points" so you have to be perfect or turn around if someone is gonna die. Fun propaganda angle but also kinda a funny sounding mission type.
wrong game buddy
@@iCanHasRandomness yeah my queue continued while i was writing the comment and posted it on this video, lmao
I was so confused..
when is the good lvl/time to start running Monolith? After competing Campaign or as soon as you get to lvl 50-55?
Honestly just around Level 50 or so. Once you get all your passives and idol unlocks.
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam thank you!!
I cant get behind someone who pronounces it "A fix". Its "AFFix" lol
It’s okay, in the new videos AF-fixed it
I think crafting is super easy, but the monolith tip was really helpful since it's very poorly explained in game.
great video. thanks
Thank you!
How are they going to misspell judgment?!
u actually can get skills past the chains from a locked mastery
by just putting enough points into it. the skills from the bottom.
I had an exalt drop today with 1 affix on it xD
Hi there :) Rune of ascendancy cannot proc boss specific uniques
Correct should have mentioned that specifically!
Do unique items have dedicated drops? Do unique items, like humming bee sword, have different level versions? Like I have level 6 humming bee sword can I fond 1 at level 50?
And last question is when you runes to create a unique item from any kind of item, do ypu only get unique the same level you are or can it be anything? For example if I'm level 20 and do it can roll a unique level 70 or will only be level 20 or lower?
quite a nice timing for me. i was just about to start farming corruption in a monolith that an item i wanted drops in. but going to the end first is gonna be way faster to speed it up!
haven't made any of them ever... though I haven't gotten a chance to play yet, still, haven't made them ..
Are you able to clarify one thing about resistance because I've been having a hard time finding a solid answer. The cap is 75%, res shreds can take this down but can be negated by res over the cap. So what is the "perfect" percent of resistance accounting for shred? Some say 100% others say as high as 150%
to know that youd have to know what % of your resistances are being shredded...which would assumedly vary by each enemy.
@@GrandmasterHobbyistduh LOL
I disagree with #2. Since completing the story only gets you about 70 levels (if you don't rush, so possibly even less), so doing all the timelines is a nice few levels. Still won't get you to a 100 before you reach empowered tho
The gold to respec isn't the issue, it's having to regrind spell levels for specialized spells. Punishes you for wanting to experiment.
I should have known from the extreme clickbait thumbnail this was going to be a useless video but i guess it worked, i clicked on it...
Alot of people are new and dont know some of this info even if its basic. Glad the thumbnail was okay though
Don t wanna be that kind of guy but u never name the mistakes in the video, my man... I didn t click to get the mechanics explained, i cliked for mistakes
good video, not so much mistakes as understanding game mechanics tho ^.^
Thank you!
You got it!
Very nice, i learn alot
Thanks!
So what level to start crating? 20? 40? Once purples drop?
You can start asap to understand the mechanics , you will get much more than enough crafting materials later on
Yes get used to the system, then once you start a second character crafting early will be a breeze!
You forgot to mention buying runes of shatter every opportunity you get
at 2k per? nah that's unreasonable
In this economy?!
Inflation..
What build are you running in this particular vid?
Running a Paladin
And Warlock...
Do i have to do all three monolith quests to continue to the next monolith? Im stuck in monolith lagon
I think you just have to do the three to the left or 3 to the right
yeah, to unlock the connected monoliths, you gotta defeat the boss in each one. when you go to empowered monoliths, they are all unlocked.
You're showing level 87 items on screen when telling us to craft early... What levels qualify as "craft early"? . Also, isn't it pronounced "AF-ix" not "a-FIX"? I'm not trying to be a jerk here, I'm asking so I don't mispronounce it lol.
Exalted items can have any number of affixes
Some people have found 1 affix exalted items
A fix.
Jokes aside, nice vid!
Af-fixed it :)
Can unique from rune of ascendance have a legen potential?
It sure can. The only thing that a Rune of Ascendance cannot drop you is a unique that is dropped specifically by a certain boss. However, it will drop them all at minimum chance drop rate. You won't get any extra chance at better rolls that you could get from upping corruption in monoliths for example.
Also, it will not take what level you are at into consideration. You could find a Rune of ascendance at level 5, and use it and end up with an item that can't be used until level 65 for example.
@OdinWolf74 Thanks
RIP anyone wearing headphones when that bell went off
Is the mini map always in the center of the screen or is that a setting?
That's called an overlay map, it's a toggle-able setting.
Click Tab button to toggle the minimap
See, this is what I don't get. Everyone is suggesting I push to get to empowered monoliths right? So I get there at level 75 or 80 and the mobs are level 100. So I get xp super slowly, kill enemies super slowly, die a lot, etc. I wish there was a more efficient way to get to character level 100 so empowered monoliths are more reasonable in difficulty.
I’ve gotten a rare with T6 on it
crafting early is a WASTE OF TIME
1. you don't have enough glyphs and runes to take out runes you want. ie rune of removal. so fkn rare and targets random affixes, so you have to use multiples
2. most items have such a low ass forge potential that that by the time u add or remove an affix you spent all that potential.
and that's even using the 25% no resource scroll.
Fair, but then when you make your second character, OP
@@CreativeGamingUA-cam
the other thing with the runes that create uniques is that it more often then ever, creates uniques you'd never use
Crafting, intimidating? Hah * laughs in Path of Exile*
Good video. Now if only the game didn't keep disconnecting.
I have a question. So I’m finally leave 40 and just started using loot filter and the only thing I basically loot filtered are common white items and magic blue ? Is that proper ?
You'll want it more specific around level 60 as you hunt for what you really need... just saves time looking
I would just find a guide and use whatever their loot filter is
exalted can be a 1mod item doesnt have to be 3-4.
I have an item that says "Experimental item" and its gold and purple.
