This is a guide on the subject of Act progression.

Last updated on Dec 5, 2021‎.

The Acts quick guide helps players complete the Acts in the the fastest and most efficient manner. It is designed for experienced players who have completed the Acts at least once and are aware of the game mechanics. Therefore we do not cover basic gameplay aspects in this guide.

This guide includes:

This guide does not include:

  • All Book of Regrets Quests, because regret points can be easily obtained through Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Orb of Regret"s.

Leveling Gear

Tip: For fastest progression through the Acts, prioritize obtaining a Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Quicksilver Flask" and any Boots with +30 Increased Movement Speed (or a lower value).

Unique items

The following gear is helpful while leveling during the Acts, as they are cheap Unique items that provide significant boosts, and can be worn from a low level onwards. These are not necessarily required, and players with no currency can simply use the gear that drops during the Acts, and linked gear purchased from town vendors.

Self-crafted items

Vendor recipe that produces a wand with Lightning Spell Damage

Players can use vendor recipes to easily craft weapons that are required for leveling, if they have no currency to purchase items, or if they are playing in SSF mode (solo self-found).

To do this, simply sell the items in the "Recipe" column to any vendor at any town, in order to receive the item in the "Result" column.

, Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Wintertide Brand", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Exsanguinate", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Corrupting Fever" and others, the player should attempt to craft a wand, dagger or an INT-based shield of as low iLVL (You can view this by holding ALT while hovering over the item) as possible (recommended 1-11) by first using Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Orb of Transmutation" and then using Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Orb of Alteration" alongside of Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Orb of Augmentation" to try and roll one of the following mods on these items:

  • x to Level of all Physical Spell Skill Gems - wands, shields
  • x to Level of all Fire Spell Skill Gems - wands, shields, daggers
  • x to Level of all Cold Spell Skill Gems - wands, shields, daggers
  • x to Level of all Lightning Spell Skill Gems - wands, shields, daggers
  • x to Level of all Chaos Spell Skill Gems - wands, shields

Players should be aware that only ONE of these mods can roll on the item, as they all share the same mod group. Trying to gain, for example - x to Level of all Physical Spell Skill Gems and x to Level of all Cold Spell Skill Gems together is not possible, and the same is true for any other combination with the notable exception of x to Level of all Spell Skill Gems mod which is not available until iLVL 55 of the item, but at this stage it also becomes FAR less likely you will get both mods.

The average number of tries to hit one of the above mods is higher at lower iLVL and much lower at higher iLVL items. By crafting either one weapon and one shield or two weapons, you stand to have +2 to a specific gem, which is a massive boost to your power during any stage of the game, even in maps.

Terminology

  • "WP" means Waypoint - use a Waypoint at a town to quickly navigate to the location
  • "TP" means Teleport - use a Portal Scroll, the Portal skill or exit to character select to teleport straight to the last town you have been in

General racing tips to finish the campaign faster

Warning: This section is for people who wish to speed their way through to maps! Do NOT attempt this if you feel at all uncomfortable, as this can be more frustrating than efficient if you do not know how to do any of these mentioned tasks or feel uncomfortable in doing them.

For both experienced players and new one's alike, this section aims to provide a faster way to reach maps while employing a basic strategy which most racers tend to use. Note that you should only attempt this if you are confident in your abilities; Especially if you are playing on a Hardcore challenge league!

  • Do not waste time killing regular monsters when you can help it. Focus on getting quest objectives and only stop to kill packs of blue/purple-tinted monsters. Very early into the campaign, rare (yellow) monsters are too hard to kill efficiently when you do not have good starting gear, so skip those too at least until the middle of Act 2.
  • If this is not your first time, learn the layouts of each zone. Knowing where the exit will be based on the starting position of the zone entrance will save you tons of time.
  • Only stop and do Trials of Ascendancy during the first time you start a league (they apply to all future characters so you only need to complete them once).
  • Finish the side quests for skill points only if you're starved for points or aren't dealing enough damage or dying too fast. You should normally be able to skip all but the mandatory skill point quests until you're done with the campaign in order to save time.
  • Don't bother crafting stuff - this consumes time. Instead - rely on what you find. This goes also for 3-4 linked items and above, items with resists and life, and other gear.
  • Check the vendors every time you are back to town to turn in quests or enter a new town (do not backtrack to towns without good reason!). Look for movement speed boots, rings with life, items with resistances, items with more links than you have and items that have one of each socket colour sockets, all linked. For instance boots with 3 linked RGB, or 4 linked RGB[ANY] colours.
  • Acquire your ascendancy at or before the level requirement to boost your build power. Try to do the Merciless Labyrinth run before you kill Kitava, as the resistance penalty is less harsh beforehand.
  • Utilise quicksilver flasks to boost your speed, also use blink skills like Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Dash", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Flame Dash" or Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Frostblink" to pass obstacles or uneven ground faster. They also help you move out of dangerous situations quickly.
  • Utilise utility flasks - Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Topaz Flask", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Sapphire Flask", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Ruby Flask", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Quartz Flask", Module Error: No results found for item using search term "item_name = Granite Flask" and Amethyst FlaskAmethyst FlaskLasts 6.50 Seconds
    Consumes 35 of 65 Charges on use
    +35% to Chaos Resistance
    Requires Level 18Right click to drink. Can only hold charges while in belt. Refills as you kill monsters.
    to bolster your survivability during the campaign. You get these flasks as both drops during normal gameplay and as quest rewards during the campaign.
  • Learn to level up yourself and skill gems during zone transitions or just after a zone transition, this will reduce the time you stand around deciding what to do.
  • Plan your build ahead of time, use Path Of Building and keep it open so you can quickly ALT+TAB out of the game, check your next steps and then allocate the passives while you play.
  • Learn item mods and how they boost your build, look for items with those mods during your run and discard or sell items you do not find useful. Instead - focus on only what boosts your damage and survivability. As a general rule, you want Life, Resistances and Damage in that order. Once your resistances reach or exceed 75%, focus on Life then Damage.

Act 10

Warning: After you kill Kitava, you will have -60% to all resistances, making all combat harder if you don't have gear with sufficient resistances. Therefore you might want to level up at The Blood Aqueduct in Act 9, or The Ravaged Square in Act 10, till you reach around level 70, and then kill Kitava. You may also want to complete the Merciless Labyrinth at this stage as it is much easier to complete with the -30% resistance penalty instead of the -60% one Kitava gives upon death.
