@@CreativeGamingKZbin 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...

"Not skipping content" is not a mistake, man. Why do all the guides tell me to skip content and that doing the content is a bad idea? The hell man.

[@dylanstanfill2897]

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]

@@dylanstanfill2897 It doesn't sound that way to me.

[@dylanstanfill2897]

@@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.

[@officialdabaws5228]

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)

[@lumineon.]

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.

[@MrJusolibre]

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

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.

[@zahlentanzer1755]

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

Exalted can also be 1 or 2 affixes also. It can roll with any amount of affixes between 1 and 4.

[@toderuu3287]

Really nice guide for beginners! thank you

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

You got it!!

[@MrRussian16]

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.

[@dylanstanfill2897]

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.

[@TobiramaDE]

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!

6. choosing CoF over Merchants unless you want to GRIND for the items you want/need, I'd HIGHLY recommend the Merchants, just buy what you need, might take some time to farm up gold but it is guaranteed + no losing time rerolling prophecies (which then might force you into arena or dungeons...)

[@alrikblaik9222]

Thanks alot didnt know about some runes and how they work.

[@ghostlightx9005]

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.

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

That’s actually a really good point!

[@dylanstanfill2897]

It doesn't take hours at any point. Minutes.

[@ghostlightx9005]

@@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.

[@dylanstanfill2897]

@@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.

[@dylanstanfill2897]

@@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.

[@beckyp867]

@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.

[@voswouter87]

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?

[@GTOGaming85]

The main reason you choose the timelines to the right is the path is shorter so you get to empowered monoliths sooner.

[@NotGovernor]

The emphasis is on the short A (as in apple) in Affix, not the fix. A-fix not a-FIX.

[@TheBluerayxx]

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.

The gold to respec isn't the issue, it's having to regrind spell levels for specialized spells. Punishes you for wanting to experiment.

[@mhc706]

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

[@officialdabaws5228]

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]

​@@officialdabaws5228mhm, that's how it works and what the dude said before you already, you just said the same thing LOL

[@officialdabaws5228]

@@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.

[@officialdabaws5228]

TLDR: just get 75% cap, dont aim for 150%.

[@Vazik05]

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.

[@Dreadskull91]

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%

If you look at the top left of the skill screen you'll see an "exp" bar for the skill. If you unlearn a level of the skill, you have to gain back exp to use that skill point again.

[@TheStorybot]

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%.

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.

[@lumineon.]

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.

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.

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

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.

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

Fair, but then when you make your second character, OP

[@cc66bb44]

@@CreativeGamingKZbin the other thing with the runes that create uniques is that it more often then ever, creates uniques you'd never use

[@Kuldirongaze1]

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.

[@tommie6039]

You forgot to say item bases matter when using Rune of Ascendance :)

[@SpectralizerYT]

Only a Ginger can call the Unique coloration red lol

[@Febrezeaire]

While yes its technically a waste of time to go for corruption before level 100, a lot of people reach it without being able to clear level 100 100 corruption. I speak from experience. Level 82 and cant survive for shit 😂

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

lol Fair enough

[@madcatneon2604]

Can unique from rune of ascendance have a legen potential?

[@Th0rvidTheViking]

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.

[@Th0rvidTheViking]

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.

[@madcatneon2604]

@OdinWolf74 Thanks

[@wiljagerhardt1219]

exalted can be a 1mod item doesnt have to be 3-4.

[@SebaOW]

You forgot to mention buying runes of shatter every opportunity you get

[@iCanHasRandomness]

at 2k per? nah that's unreasonable

[@istasmi]

In this economy?!

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

Inflation..

[@TheYuxiaodi]

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

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

Yeah, ah-fixed it in the newer vids!

[@sibernetikvehububata.s7158]

Didn't played this game but i wonder, if this is the Last Epoch then where are the other ones and when ?

[@josephbadudao0116]

First epoch? Lmao

[@nophz506]

Crafting, intimidating? Hah * laughs in Path of Exile*

[@realicepick285]

So what level to start crating? 20? 40? Once purples drop?

[@jordanchampault7476]

You can start asap to understand the mechanics , you will get much more than enough crafting materials later on

[@CreativeGamingYouTube]

Yes get used to the system, then once you start a second character crafting early will be a breeze!

[@gringostew]

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.
