Gearing while Leveling


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, I've been reading like crazy, and I see that all builds basically say things like "aim for all skills" or all offensive skills, but that seems like that is information for the end game but what about leveling?

 

Should we be worried about that while we are leveling, or only in Niob?

 

For example one of my Dryads, got a set piece, at level 20, she's 47 now, should I just go ahead and replace it, or continue farming the other pieces for the bonus (Detheya's Agility)?

Continue farming. Well thats what I think, for me I got a complete Faladal and Detheya well only after remaking 8 High Elf and 4 Dryads. Now my final HE and dryad got full sets :sweating: IMHO farming and leveling up makes no difference in the long run cause the most important thing is you enjoy the game right? :woot: A for your question: hold your sets till you get the highest one

It depends. I would save dryad pieces that go towards the %life leach (LL) set; I forget which suit that is. Assuming you are dealing bow or melee attacks. But wear a chest piece that is up to date because that is most important for armor.

 

In sockets you want to 1) stay alive 2) killspeed and xp jewels. Obviously 1 is most important, but if you have niob anneals in silver probably most of your sockets could have +xp +skills if you have access to a bargainer.

 

Its hard to get a whole set farming yourself. Maybe see what you find and then put an add in the trading section for what your looking for. I would help you but I uninstalled S from my computer.

 

Gear with sockets is important because the bonus from a socket is x2 mods possibly and customizable.

 

 

 

Finally you can farm the 3 main sets in mainquest bosses more often and the 'other' sets from minibosses like the werewolf, the banshee, the boar, anything thats not on the main quest. The tree in particular, but you'll need %LL for him.

If you are working towards a set bonus, throw the under level piece in your chest until you get the other pieces to complete the set. For me, LL% has been the only set bonus worth pursuing.

 

The Forest Guardian is supposed to have one of the highest drop tables in the game. Personally, he dropped mostly potions for me. He is also so far away from the nearest portal.

I haven't ran into that boss, where is he located, I'm sure you aren't talking about the Fog Boss in the swamp area.

He is at the bottom of the first post:

On PC, you can get him to respawn by ducking quickly into the nearby cave after he dies (like the Orc Cave). I tried many times on ps3 but never got him to respawn. His healing is ENORMOUS. A number of times my patience wore out and I just teleported away with him still alive.
