Fast Leveling Guide (3.10 viable)
|
Intro
Hello fellow exiles, the fast leveling guide is back again! This guide is for fast leveling where we focus on completing quests that lets us proceed in the acts. The big difference from previous guides is that we skip skill points that slows us down (listed as optional). If you feel you need these in your progress, be my guest and do these quests as you progress through the acts. I've also listed the quests where it is recommended to do these if you wish. Please note that I've not added some quests which I see totally not worth it, even if it is your first character in a new league, these quests only give a rare ring or similar. The Labyrinth Trials are listed as optional and it is recommended to do these if it is your first character in a new league, but only if you happen to stumble upon these. You can come back later to do all the Labyrinth Trials later since you only need those for doing the Ascendy Labyrinth. Be my guest and comment if there is something that can be adjusted or is missing in the guide and I will try to answer as soon as I have the time. Happy leveling!

thanks a lot for the guides man. ive been using your leveling guides for a while now. just wanted to show my appreciation for them

" I'm glad you like them :) SWOG

IMO, i like your old guide more. Its just a run str8 from map to map without missing any skill point. The new one is a little more complicated.
And add map layout to each mision will make it more easy. ( like 2o'clock way, or on the left, right, ...) Thanks for your guide anw! // sorry for my bad english |
|
" Well, it's just a matter of taste I believe. The direction part was clearly not liked since my right can be someone else up and so on, that's why I removed them. I know them and everyone else who have leveled a few characters know them. Also regarding the skill points, this guide is trying to focusing on being as efficient as possible to get to end-game maps, you aren't efficient if you get skill points that's not needed to progress, IMO. I'm glad you're liking the guide though :) SWOG

Hey, i really like ur guide. Thanks for your work!
I think, there is something wrong in act 10. I did get the 2 passive respec point via the "No Love for Old Ghosts" quest in the Ossuary. https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/No_Love_for_Old_Ghosts I guess there is just a step missing. |
