League start RF inquis - maybe Pohx's version His website and guides https://www.pohx.net/ His 5:25 leveling walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjO8JqKtJYU Baalar's 3:34 leveling run: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxkb8VHrPO8 ------------- When we have enough currency, we swap for the early version(s) of the build Estimating the currency necessary for the swap to the cheap version based on Crucible prices Mandatory uniques: Mark of the Shaper - cheap in crucible (7 to 9c day 1/2/3) - trending slightly upwards Ivory tower - 0 links - cheap in crucible (3c day 1/2/3) - similar prices throughout the league Ivory tower - 5 links - moderate in crucible (65 to 75c day 1/2/3) - trending down then up Ivory tower - 6 links - expensive in crucible (632 to 720c day 1/2/3) - trending down then up Coruscating elixir - cheap in crucible (3c day 1/2/3) - similar prices throughout the league Brutal restraint - expensive in crucible (100 to 120c day 1/2/3) - similar prices throughout the league Damage/defense uniques: Heatshiver - cheap in crucible (15c day 1/2/3) - trending upwards Prism Guardian - moderate in crucible (25c to 30c day 1/2/3) - trending slightly downwards Bubonic trail (1 jewel) - cheap in crucible (3c day 1/2/3) - similar prices throughout the league Bubonic trail (2 jewels) - expensive in crucible (106 to 130c day 1/2/3) - trending heavily upwards Kurgal's gaze - cheap in crucible (5 to 7c day 1/2/3) - trending slightly upwards Total cost before gear swap (estimation) -> 1k chaos 1 div = 180c (day 3) Roughly 6 div necessary for the gear swap, most of the currency necessary is for 6L ivory tower We could also test the precision watcher's eye mod which should be very cheap. ------------- Different trees and gear sets We have 3 different tiers of sets. Cheap, mid, & high investment. Each tier has a precision watcher's eye mod version of the tree and gear (with not traitor keystone). This will need to be tested in game. Can we sustain corruscating elixir without traitor or not? If these version work, then they should be more powerful/tanky. Each tier has an ultra fast lightning warp skill setting for boss rushing and other shienanigans. These version should be slightly less tanky but much, much faster. ------------- Tattoos For high versions, we will probably have the +1 to level of all dexterity skill gems tattoo so use the following prompt in the custom modifiers: // Skill level tatoo -30 dexterity +1 to level of all dexterity skill gems We might also use flask effect duration tattoos which should enable precision watcher's eye mod, and would mean we don't need traitor to sustain flasks if it doesn't work without them -------------- Crafting Min maxed Sceptre crafting: - fracture +1 all - essence spell dmg till +1 phys - harvest reroll crit - aisling 4 cast speed - craft t1 crit multi on uniques ---------------
