How do you sustain mana at early leveling?

Btw i couldnt find which weapon do you recommend until we get windripper?

You can farm up a set of Imperial Legacy cards for a 6L Imperial Bow to use until you can afford WR. They are fairly common to get a hold of, you just need time as it takes 22 cards. What bow you use before that depends on how you level. If RoA, use Death's Harp/Tempyst, etc. Alternatively you can pick up a 5L bow and hit it with an essence or alch/scour as they are approachable in price. Nuro's Harp is pretty cheap and has some flat cold, but you pretty much will already be in maps before you can use it.

For mana sustain you will want to prioritize picking up one point or two into "Essence Sap" while you're leveling until you get Lioneye's Fall. Those nodes will provide all the leech you need.

There's little wiggle room in mana running a 4L HoI and Grace with no Mana reserve reduction, so actively aiming at things that will give you mana back is a must, it isn't as "Spray and Pray" as TS is.

I'm not sure. I've only ever used it for farming maps. I'm sure in normal encounters on normal maps you're already farming for cards, you'll be fine. I won't make any predictions on how it will handle blighted maps, because that's so different than anything I've done with it before, and I'm just not willing to make broad claims without providing proof.

What anointment would you recommend?

There's a lot of options, I think, and it varies on your needs.

If your Ventor's aren't great on resists, an Evasion/Res notable would be good. There's a few to consider, from Survivalist, Cloth and Chain, and so on. Most of these are easily pathed to, however.

There's also Aspect of the Lynx/Eagle, Avatar of the Hunt, Precision is great for speed.

Snowforged is some Cold scaling as well as some resists.

Heart of Ice is great for damage, the cold pen is valuable. Breath of Rime is damage and utility, even though we don't use the multi.

Hey cool guide currently building a deadeye
Just a quick question...which maps do you recommend farming? Im thinking about vault for the hoarder card but im not sure if it is the best.
And why are we using LMP and not GMP?
Thanks in advance

Not OP, but we use LMP for more damage per projectile and since we have Dying Sun, we still have 5 projectiles with 1 chain as well as Herald of Ice explosions, so clearing is still good. Ofc, you can use GMP if you want more clear instead of damage.

Exactly this, thank you.
Also worth noting that GMP makes EleHit cost ridiculous amounts of mana.

I got all the items exept 1 ventor and lioneyes,do you think i have enough quant for more rare divination cards? i can buy the other ventor rn,just dont have currency for lioneyes atm

I wouldn't say there's a hard cutoff for how much IIQ is needed for the more rare divination cards, I would just caution you to temper your expectations accordingly if you choose to pursue. Some are so rare, its a matter of RNG anyways (such as Doctors, Fiends, etc). Of course, higher quantity improves your odds.

If you're big card hunting, I would say look for a map that has a decent secondary card drop as a consolation prize. Like Port has Lucky Connections, Lair has Loyalty. I mean, I would recommend this regardless, but definitely if you're not operating at the IIQ you're wanting to end up with, if that makes sense. Selling the fusings or some of the other card rewards can help fund the remaining purchases.

Thanks you so much! i was thinking of farming Port for lucky conncections,since i got both a 5L queen and 5L windripper,but i gotta get a 6L. Already bought lioneye and ventor,just need the quiver and im goood to go. Cheers
