Early Setup inspired by CaptainLances EB Inquisitor guide: https://youtu.be/_eL6L-aZw-Q Use Loadouts in the top-right to easily switch Tree, Gear, Skills and Config between the Endgame builds (need to manually switch for leveling setups) Endgame Setups are just a WiP for my personal endgame build goal and are not connected to the Sanctum setup so they can be safely ignored. The last Sanctum relevant Loadout is the Ivory Tower Upgrades Loadout Better Trading Folder: 3: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 Make sure to manually select the trading link. doubleclicking it may leave out some parts which makes the folder invalid! Act 1: Vendor Regex: b-b-r|b-[br]-b|r-b-b|g-r|r-g|nne Look for B B B Wands throughout early Acts and keep them in Weapon Swap (Needed in Act 6 to level Gems) Mule Ranger: G Momentum Hillock: B Rolling Magma Mud Flats: R Holy Flame Totem B Frost Blink B Flame Wall R Shield Charge Tidal Island: B Phantasms Brutus: B Combustion B Flame Dash R Added Fire R Vitality Act 2: Chamber of Sins: G Herald of Ice B Herald of Thunder B Wave of Conviction Weaver: R Cruelty B Conc Effect B Ele Focus choose later based on your 4L colors Act 3 BBB-B/R GGBB / GGRB / GRBB / RGG 4B 2G Vendor Regex (checks for all 4links, manually check colors): -\w-.-|rint Crematorium: B Flammability Gravicius: b Arma Brand Library: 4 Transmutes 1 Chance 2 Alterations needed G Cremation G LMP (if Cremation 4L has 2G) G Faster Attacks G Haste G Desecrate (Keep Lvl 1) B Clarity R Leap Slam (level already, switch Shield Charge > Leap Slam after 1st Lab with new weapon) At this point go back to Act 2 to pick up the 4th Link (Weaver Quest Reward) depending on the Item you got (or do so in the future if no 4L yet) Act 4 BBB-B/R GGBB / GGRB / GRBB / RGG BBB 2B 2G Malachai: G GMP B Ignite Prolif B Hextouch Act 6 Lilly Roth: (Buy Gems and level them in Weapon Swap until PBoD Swap) B Spellblade B Energy Blade B Crit Damage B Crit Chance B Assassins Mark B Discipline B Penance Brand of Dissipation (Buy from other Player asap and level in Weapon Swap, alternatively grab it while farming 3rd Lab later on) Pre PBoD/Sanctum Swap Checklist: Buy Gems in Act 6 and level in Weapon Swap (See Act 6 above) Pick up Rogue Markers and Contracts and starting at Level 60 visit the Rogue Harbor and buy all Demolition Contracts. The Vendor refreshes every Level so make sure to visit and buy the Contracts at every Level Optional (but recommended): Starting Act9 pick up unID rares for Chaos Recipe Progress the Story until you need to kill Kitava DO NOT KILL KITAVA!!!!! DO NOT KILL KITAVA!!!!! DO NOT KILL KITAVA!!!!! Not killing Kitava = 30% more ALL RES (so 120 total Res) which makes gearing MUCH easier Farm 3rd Lab until: you rerolled into PBoD (sell all other Transfigured Gems and just buy PBoD if you dont hit it, ideally you wanna spend the random Chaos you find while leveling to already buy one earlier) you leveled up PBoD to Level 16-18 with the Font at the end you leveled up Energy Blade to Level 16 with the Font at the end you used the Quality Reward with the Font at the end to get Energy Blade to 20% quality (optionally get PBoD to 20% quality aswell, its ~10% more dps) Visit the Rogue Harbor and run all of the Demolition Contracts you bought. Focus on the ? Chests which provide the best Loot. Note: You can simply run out and "Bank" your loot if you got lucky with drops. No need to try and finish the run and risk losing the Loot Note: While running these it can be a good Idea to pick up unID rares to use for Chaos Recipe for additional income. Repeat this until you have enough Chaos to buy the PBoD Swap Gear (around 15-50 Chaos, depending on the current Economy) Level to Level 68 in any high density Zone (Act 9 Foothills or Act10 Desecrated Chambers) Fully swap to the PBoD Setup Note: Check the Passive Tree, Gear and Gems when switching/upgrading as there are Respecs, different Gear and different Gem Links in the different Versions. On the Top-right of the PoB you can switch between the Loadouts PBoD Swap, PBoD Upgrades and Ivory Tower Swap which instantly switches Tree, Skills and Items to that Setup. Make sure you doublecheck each of these Setups for Changes Notable Difference Examples: when swapping to PBoD Swap Tree Elemental Overload removed!!!!! when swapping to PBoD Swap Tree Divine Judgement mastery removed and traveling node switched when swapping to PBoD Swap Tree Life Mastery removed when upgrading to Astramentis with annoint switch Brand Mastery from +2 Brands to Brand Attachment range MANDATORY for Ivory Tower switch: Ivory Tower Balbala Timeless Jewel Coruscating Elixir Bismuth Flask to compensate for lost Res (Personal Notes for my Endgame build, irrelevant and not connected to the Sanctum Setup) Crafting Endgame Setup: Wands: Fractured cast speed on an imbued/profane OR Explode Wand Base (ILvl 81+) 1) Corroded + Jagged + Metallic + Shuddering until +1 All Spell Skill Gems 2) Clean Base until only +1 (and frac Cast Speed if used): Prefix Lock > Scour to clean Suffixes, Annul if another Prefix 3) Wand should be +1 All only (and frac Cast Speed if used) 4) A) (Used for Explode Base) Craft Multimod, Cannot Roll Attack and any Suffix.
