Many things listed as AD price in that video can Alternatively be farmed in one way or another. Coal motes by daylie prayer if you got some alts, luck in dungeon drops, campaigns and login bonus etc. Glyphs are farmable via legacy canpaign. Etc I would say if you focus, 1 year of grind to be top ilevel, half that to be around 65k ilevel with good enough stats to do well in scaled content. I started playing again last January then stopped early summer and started again in November, got to 65k ilevel even though i lost more than 10 million of refinement points. Could be alot higher if I played during demonweb pits. Or focused on Ilevel instead of going for higher damage. This way I out dps people with 10k ilevel because my build is slowly coming together. And master content doesn't sound that fun anyways.

@GastNdorf11 ай бұрын
@@Aragon- Yeah I don't know about that. Upfront it will be cheaper, see it as a stepping stone, just like the arti set or rings. Even in the long run I think the cost is pretty much negligible, and that thing, you could keep it long enough, from primary to secondary, seeing as you don't upgrade artifacts until a lot later. The missing IL, you could make it up for getting maybe a couple higher insignias, no need to get 15 at once, or maybe work on bolster a bit earlier. Also get better weapons slightly earlier because man getting 5 million AD + doing a 10 week campaign without upgrading is quite wild... Could easily grab the Vale weapons for relatively cheap (although they get rarer on the market) or just crafted blue weapons (the leap between that and seal weapons ins't huge but they're cheap, could bypass the seal weaps entirely), all the while waiting for the blaspheme set and later stormforged. But on that I have to say though, devs dropped the ball not putting any middle ground set of weapons in the seal store anymore. There's also the Hero's path which has a few legendary comps and mounts but that would have to be checked more thouroughly to know which ones you get at what moment. Also take avdantage of the latest campaign. I know you're going to say it's opened only now, but the thing is there will always be another campaign opened in the future. This one is very good in particular: you can stick with people for HE and get better ring, stick with people for invasions and farm for Astral raider gear, get the best comp gear way earlier, get the tendril arti which is pretty much free to upgrade if I remember right... that alone can get you like 10k IL ahead in a single day if you put effort in the grind, compared to relying on seal gear which will take you weeks (5 weeks exactly if you want a full spider god seal gear). Then again, the next mod might not be as generous, but there will always be something to get. Another point I wanted to make, kinda related to the above, is you should maybe prioritize more the things you can get instantly: the cheap, the non timegated... like buying the cheap high level stuff on the AH I'd put that first, because this is a thing you can do right when you get level 20, and you should already have enough AD solely from the adventures. And rely less on the timegated or expensive ones: seal gear, end campaign stuff... That combat enchant at 3,5m AD stings, that's a lot of queues to do, with a garbage character at that... It's all fun and games when you know all the dungeons and your rotations, for a new player it's another story. And yeah he will get carried most of the time, until he gets in queue with 2 or more players like him. If you also tell them they got to grind 5 to 10 weeks to get semi decent stuff, they may get sick ah. This is another reason why I think it's worth having a cheap mythic artefact soon enough, same as one mythic mount and one mythic companion minimum, on a very practical standpoint which is to help in an actual fight, because yeah I'm sure it's cost effective to wait before upgrading, but... It will be painful.
@hurstiwursti11 ай бұрын
Grinding campaigns is a huge part of the game, for boons and stuff, so in the long run everyone should grind them. I think they are rather good to grind and feel rewarding, especially the newer ones compared to the old system. 10 weeks grinding for one of the best early neck waist artifact sets is worth it in my opinion. Ofc with higher ilevel you can grind multiple campaigns in the same 10 weeks if you have the time. I would agree, combat and companion enchants should be early priority. Plus getting staldorf mythic over the course of a year and getting epic batiri and raptor from reapers. Mythic mount isn't that important imo. And i was fine running non mythic artifact for a long time. Better to invest a month in river district to get op mirage set. That really does make you feel stronger than you should be. Until they nerf it.
