    Hey Everyone! I can see that this video started to get up from its knees It's important to *update now* - most of the info is valid: the theory on exp, everything about levelling through the 3 game difficulties, and getting to level 90.
    👉Follow me on Twitch: www.twitch.tv/kvothed2 👈
    Main change kicks in when you hit level ~93. At this moment Areas level 85 (Pit, CS, Stony Tombs, World Stone Keep etc) start to give you reduced exp from Champions and Elites. This is the moment it is time to switch to *Terror Zones* - whether solo, or in public games (but ideally you want to run them solo, with other player being elsewhere, e.g. Baal runs). Offline - enjoy Terror Zones at the highest players difficulty your character can handle - there it is a breeze to 99, about 4x times faster. Thanks for watching!

    I would use speedrunners' strats for early power-leveling: Catacombs or Jail with champion packs. Depends on the build too, though. That being said, the explanation was very clear. And, no, I never. Holy grail makes more sense to me, than clvl99 grind.

    • @KvotheD
      @KvotheD  2 года назад +1

      True, the cata or jail strat is there! I was geniuenly surprised that by clearing areas in act 1 and 2, I arrived to Mephisto around lvl 26. So a lot of these strats are needed only if you power through the game.
      Regarding lvl99 grind - i'm tempted to try it, but not focusing only on it, i know i will get burnt out too quickly without a change.

      @@xxxdion It's unfortunate you can dupe items and copy your save on the PS version though, unless it's done online on battlenet the LVL 99 trophies are far less impressive than their Xbox counter parts , going off true trophies and true achievements figures which would be less than the actual totals PS has 17103 people played 60 people with 100% Xbox has 24068 people played 4 people with 100%, I'd say atleast 50-55 of those 60 completions would not be legitimate, and the few people that did it legitimately have no real way of proving it unless they did it online on battlenet, Sony really needs to do more about people cheating to obtain difficult trophies, most people don't care about trophies/achievements but the ones that do shouldn't have their trophy collection be marginally less impressive because Sony can't be bothered taking it seriously.

    • @KvotheD
      @KvotheD  3 месяца назад +1

      Hey! Thanks a lot for nice words.
      First of all, if you play solo TZ then you can go either of the trapasin (fire or lightning) and then it is a simple set of Shako, Enigma, 2 skill FCR amulet, Spirit Shield, Hoto, Arachnid, War travs, Trang gloves or 20IAS gloves. RIngs based on FCR needs I guess.
      If you plan high player count TZs - then you are much stronger with dual Mosaic Sin, you are even ok with the same gear, just 2 Mosaic claws instead of Hoto and Spirit. There are probably more nuances, but I haven't played mosaic sin tbh. Test it and try different thing ;)

    • @KvotheD
      @KvotheD  2 года назад +1

      Summoner is in my opinion the best necro starter - it can go through entire game easily and can farm any area from the start. For runes you can combine LK (if you have good map offline), Cows and Travincal (if your merc has good damage + summons from previous locations). Start with P1 on Trav and Cows, and the better your merc gets go for P3-P5 cows. Travincal can still be tough on P3, especially for your iron golem to survive, unless you get a big pack of summons with you.
      Just for MFing - Eldritch, Shenk, Pindle, Pit, AT, City of the Damned, River of Flame, CS, Worldstone keep - in rising order of difficulty to farm :)
      As you can see, with better gear and merc setup you have around 10 areas to farm in one go, which makes this build very nice to play. Enjoy!

I'm wondering if there is something I could do to make it faster? Should I start doing chaos runs instead of baal run like you explain on your video?

    • @KvotheD
      @KvotheD  2 года назад +1

      If you have infinity and you are a cold sorc, you can do 2 seal runs in CS while people get TP to Baal throne room and then join them. Minion waves still give decent exp so i wouldn't ignore them completely. From 98 you can run diablo + nihlathak while they are killing minions and join them as soon as you are done.
      XP shrine is hard to pull when you are on your own. If your group is interested in boosting your exp, than one of them can search for it and give you a TP before you kill diablo.

    i have a question tho: in order to level from 92-98 (OFFLINE SINGLE PLAYER) is it better to do just p8 AT or any other lvl 85 area, or should i start doing chaos runs p1 + diablo p7?
    most level guides seem to be about how to get from lvl 98-99, but i already know the answer to that. so whats the best way to get from level 92 - 98? (I play a sorc btw.)

    • @KvotheD
      @KvotheD  2 года назад +1

      Hey man, thanks a lot!
      For the level 92-98 the best way is p8 two seal cs runs. Find a map that has cross like orientation for infector of souls and grand vizir (they will spawn with most minions this way). Start the run got to river of flame, teleport as fast to one of the seals spawn it, kill all mobs and if there are any other packs right there - them too. Then move to the other seal and repeat. Exit the game and start again.
      If you feel like you lack damage or survivability, you can lower the players difficulty. Get holy freeze merc that also helps

      After watching this video I'm second guessing this endeavor, I'm only just over halfway through level 93

    audio is bad language, video is just a background for your bad language! its really hard to find a decent guide when everyone make a lousy video guide and upload it, no offence but you just wasted my time

    I'm running a summonmancer on Hardcore, currently at level 90, and just CAN'T go above players 1 cause I die so fast.... any specific hint in this case? It is inpossible to hit 99 in players 1?

      Hey Fabio, summoner is not the fastest for 99 race for sure, but with some VERY good gear he is capable. Players 1 to 99 will take you a life and a half :P
      Eventually you will need Enigma, Infinity (on a merc, for more CE damage), Beast RW in hands (Fanaticism aura; you could start with Hustle Iron Golem), Homunculus as an off-hand and go for 70+ block chance. This with all summons will make you very tanky and hard to die. It is good for CS and WSK farming, but i wouldn't go for Nihlathak with this. Good luck!
