That's what the PoB is for... do your homework before starting the character/league so that you know what you're doing ahead of time. Set up and understand your PoB and use it as a guide book.
And check to see if i can outsmart the build guide..by searching for better deeps in the pob at lvl 7 by picking up 5 atk spd instead of 10 int for my Lightning Golemancer Nade Spammer...or whatever ridiculous name someone comes up with next build...
Going through campaign listening to podcast *Podcast ends* "I .... I .... I don't know what to do!!!" Proceed to spend up to an hour trying to find something to listen to, getting distracted by something else on the internet, and forgetting entirely that the game is running in the background.
from my experience, by the time you get to the last episode of a podcast, you won't remember anything from the earlier ones, so just relisten the whole show.
You don't level slower because of penalties when you are at or slightly above level. You level slower because you COULD be in a higher level zone (which awards more XP) without penalties.
@@Vherax yea but that is not really relvant here as even if you kill a lot of monsters you not gonna be 4+(level/16) levels above the zone normaly. and he was talking about being AT zonne level. The Diffrence is really kust the level increase of the monsters (1.02*Mob_Level^2.2 to be precise.)
Thank you! I needed this so much since I just finished campaign yesterday after 19 hours played lol Ritual in every zone and my "oh look shiny!" ADHD made me spend way too much time getting campaign done...
I cannot begin to thank you for some of these tips. As a complete noob the speed mechanics& not killing everything alone helped me get through the game so much faster. I cannot thank you enough!
I genuinely enjoy levelling tbh, thanks to tyty I can spend 4-6 hours levelling, and I enjoy that absolute living hell out of that. I love using the skills at their absolute raw stage and see how they go up, then finally hitting act 4 and using all the link before hitting Malachai. Just keep moving, hit monsters, level, +/-1 level per area, and never EVER sit in encampments or your hideout unless you're crafting resistances or taking a small break
This is by far the best laid out video to help me as a beginner. So much jargon and fast explanations out there. First time I've been able to actually follow a POE video
I'm only 6 minutes in the video and already learned so much. Also note that i probably have 300 hours on my belt. But that was mostly mapping. I always dreaded creating new characters. I appreciate your hardwork for making this video. The editing, script, that test dummy character and more.
I have 10k+ hours (playing since alpha, many years before Steam release), I never needed any skipping or anything to reach end campaign day 1-2, this is just another vid for $, they make anything nowadays. You'll win maybe 30 minutes, for a normie with job, wife and great friends it doesn't matter, it's for ladder racers. Just enjoy the game, rush nothing. I never rush, not one season. The fact he says you can learn this in 5 minutes but the video takes 15 minutes you know this dude is bad at calculating anyway.
I tell myself every League that I won't stop to kill monsters and I get maybe 2-3 screens in Act 1 before I instantly fail miserably at that and just kill too much.
@@robertfiorito9888 Me too. But I don't regret it at all. I found a 5L chest for my character, several more 5L chests for other characters, a 6L chest for my character, a 6L 2H Karui Chopper which another character will use, another 6L chest for another character, and then a TON of excellent Talismans as well. Long story short: I got three 6L items in Ritual during the Acts. I've never been offered a 6L in Ritual during maps. To have 3x 6L by the time you kill Act 10 Kitava (an Axe, a Str chest and an Int chest) is a pretty darn handy start to a league. So I'm really glad I took the time to do it.
@@porous9 It was different at the beginning of the league, they've clearly slaughtered Ritual's reward like one week or two later, i've quickly find a corrupted lvl 4 enlighten for example, now it's not at all the case anymore and i mostly skip it, it's almost useless depending of your character's ability to clean a map. The irony is a slow cleaner might aswell slow down even more for Rituals, it won't change much things for him. Faster ones are just losing their time, i don't know why they've butchered rituals this way, should i be happy for being able to buy one Exalt in 500 rituals, while up to many exalts value drops are waiting for me on the rest of the map ?
thanks for the amazing video, new player here, and after watching a few videos on leveling honestly this has been the best one for me, how simple it is layed out, easy to follow, got me through the entire story no problems
Alright, I'll give it to you. The multiple MS boots recipe is something I didn't know. And I play since 3.4 :| ty Later edit: little tip if you can't stop yourself from killing mobs, try to kill only the blue and yellow pack mobs. They give way more xp and honestly, it's just so juicy to see your xp bar fil by a big chunk at a time.
I didn't expect to learn anything from this video. Then you told me about how to use Smoke Mind, and it not only is a massive game changer for running through spaces, but it was exactly the moevement skill I needed for my league starter. I'm using elemental equilibrium, and it's SO much better than Dash!
That's it! This is exactly what I needed. Not some tytykiller 1h-ish video guide for racers. I'm no racer. I just want to go through levels faster. Specially at League Start. Thanks! A lot!
dweller of the deep and marooned mariner are the 2 skill point quests I'd say you don't skip, because they are on the way. marooned mariner, you don't need to give it right away, but if you find the entrance, rush through the zone, pick up the allflame and continue, then go back later to give it to fairgraves from the waypoint you definitely didn't forget to pick dweller, if you get to the entrance, drop a portal in front, then go in, kill the dweller and go back to character selection, then pick the portal in town, if you find the stairs going up, drop the portal in the bottom, go to the ledge waypoint, back in town and pick the portal. note that the 2nd one, you have to go fast enough to not have the portal despawn, but it's fairly easy as long as you follow the don't genocide rule. the part 2 god killing skill points (i.e. minor pantheon), do skip till you're high level though. another couple of great tips is finding the sorceress bandit, there are stones near the path leading to her. for the act 8, where you are running through the houses, the only ones you need to move through have a corpse in front, the other ones won't, so don't go inside the buildings without corpses. for the quay with the resurrect tolman quest, follow the water border, and look for a narrow passage, the ankh will be there, and it's a pita to get back to, so pick it up while going through the first time, if you find clarissa before the exit, you definitely want to do the quest, because it's also annoying to get back to and it's fairly easy.
I usually take two Quicksilvers and alternate uses so they fill up at the same time. Go from some uptime to a lot of uptime. Helps if you have a pack drought, hate losing momentum.
First time seeing your channel pop up. Just got my second character on my first league past campaign so this is super awesome I’ll remember this for the next character/league. I subscribed to show some love and appreciation for this video.
Thanks for stating at the start that this is not for HC players. As a HCSSF player myself, I kept giggling.. "use boots that ONLY have movement speed", "be underleveled", "skip passive skill point quests", "do labs as you find them".. I was like.... "oh that's how you can play this game?" :D
Dweller of the deep: put a portal when you find the stairs go to ledge and teleport to town, take the waypoint and find the flooded depths to kill him. Learned that from tyty too.
Trip for altaholics that like having extra twink gear around. Use the extra reforge element crafts from harvest on some level 2-13 wands from the vendor in act 1 and you can get some pretty crazy +1 with other stat wands that you can use from act 1 to red maps often. You can do this with shields as well if you happen to prefer that. I also know that I maybe leveling a few toons each league and when I am IDing rares early in the league I save good life resis helm, gloves, boots, and rings that require level 40-50 since this is when you start the 2nd half and having something like a 40 life ring with 60-100 resis can be a game changer for living if your like me and know death running a boss is the faster way to do it but my pride makes me want to aim for story deathless. When I first started playing poe it was an average of 18 hours for the story now I can do it in 7 on league start and 4-5 with twink gear. Like all things the more you do it the faster you become and if you ever dislike a league maybe consider saying fuck the end game and do some build testing and alt leveling. I hated bestiary starting out because of the nets and spent the first month leveling 1-2 toons a week in the story and that more then cut my releveling him in half going forward.
Thanks for the tips. I have around 1.4k+ hours in my poe and I still lack some speed to speedrun through campaign. Even tho i rush through areas, at some points i still kill some mobs to keep up with levels and do passive side guests :p ill save this video to my archives and try these next time
@@janovmi2 how even, the xp penalty alone should make it nearly impossible to cross 70 or so unless you are repeating zones like farming blood aquas. Even then getting levels past 78 is gonna be insane.
Yeah the campaign is always the biggest dampener to my motivation. Makes me regularly skip a League if it doesn't look interesting enough (which is a good thing, either way) - but I guess I'll try to be more focused this time around. Nice set of tips, especially with the Smoke Mine / left click Detonate :)
And here's the ONLY point where diablo 3 does better than PoE: you don't need to do the campaing after you've done it once... NEVER, even on a new season. You buy the game, play the campaing, enjoy the story, watch all those nice cutscenes, enrage against blizzard when they kill cain. Done? Okay, you get adventure mode, minor rifts, greater rifts... on all characters that you already have and any new character you make. Forever. "Oh, but in diablo 2"... yeap, in diablo 2 NOBODY plays the damn campaing. Here's how one level on diablo 2: Get lvl 6, save cain on your own, shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Trist runs to lvl 15. Finish A1, move to A2, rush trough it ignoring 90% of the content. Rush trough act 3 to get faster to meph. Tomb runs untill arround 22/23. Rush A4, don't do forge, don't do izual unless finding him midway. Kill Di, rush A5, get 24 before reaching ancys, do ancys, Baal... baal runs to lvl 45, rush trough nightmare, nm runs to arround 60. On 60 you should be able to at least get to the ancients on a rush without any problem. All this considering you'r starting a ladder. If it's mid ladder: make character, get grushed to a5. Level to 6, save cain. Trist runs to 15 - tomb runs to 24, ask someone to help with ancients, baal runs to 45, ask nm rush, baal runs to 60, ask for hell rush 4 forge, baal runs forever. PoE is just nor slower than grim dawn on that aspect, and even grim dawn give you the ability to use Crucible to level and gear a new character to get on a build! Here's how I think PoE should work: 1st character on league - play the damn campaing. It's good, it has a nice story, the devs lost a lot of time developing it. 2nd character - you don't need to repeat everything you just did. Go to yout HO, get "low level maps" from npc, those maps will be based on the areas a character should be doing by that time and arround those level on the campaing. Level by doing those maps, stop midway to get labs done. Got to lvl 60? Go do key skill and resists quests, kill kitava, get to end game mapping.
@@fuinharlz Diablo 3 is the most boring game once you unlock adventure mode. Grinding the same nephalem and greater rifts everyday is not fun. It has the worst endgame I have ever seen in a game.
@@danylo211 Have you ever played diablo 2 on the battle net? If not, here's how you play: get lvl 5 and save cain. Find "trist run" games, do then untill arround 14, 15. Get a rush to a5 before ancients. Tomb runs untill 24, do ancients, baal runs to 35, kill baal and go to nm, rush to baal, baal runs to 60, kill baal nm, go to hell, rush hell, baal runs rest your character life. What kills diablo III is not the "repetitive end game", we had that on diablo II and still play it to this day. WHat killed diablo 3 is the lack of purpose on the runs. Yeah, we know, there's a rank, wich nobody gives a damn... on diablo 2 there are some items so rare that just arround 10% of everyone who ever played diablo 2 found on a drop. On D3 you get the damn best itens on the game in hours. There's literally zero magic find hunt, no build diversity, nothing. The problem on PoE campaing is the same you'r talking about the end game on D3... it's repetitive, in a bad way. After you complete it in one character, you don't want to spend hours again to level another character to test a different build, a different mechanic. And doind all acts again is basically the same as repeating greater rifts over and over.
The main thing that slows me down with my first char in a new league is....the league itself :> Acts 1-3 I'm usually figuring it out having fun. THEN I will party and power through untill I'm like 3-6 levels behind, farm and do league mechanic till I'm on par and contnue. Especially love doing aquaduct for league mechanics as it's straight forward very rarly will you miss the league mechanic if your just running through.
great video as usual! love that you are doing crackling lance/golem build since that is my league starter and it erases bosses and has decent clear speed
I'm not a hardcore speed runner by any means but I can usually get through all 10 Acts in 8-9 hours with doing all the passive skill quests, all trials for labs (excluding map trials), no quicksilver flasks. I absolutely, whole heartedly agree with not doing the league mechanic. :P Of course this is just with a league starter character. With some currency and leveling gear it goes much faster. :P
Another added benefit of delaying the skill point quests is that free levels become more and more valuable as the amount of experience required to get to the next level increases
Such a good vid. Sent this to a bunch of mates. Would love a list of what map to Go and when, log out and back in when? I have followed a guide but it tends to send me all over chasing the skill points.
I still did league mechanic. Lots of chaos orbs. Got to about 60 before I even started doing the vendor recipe Also lots of 5 linked heard which I've been selling for chaos. I would say rituals are the only worthwhile mobs to kill
That's serious issue with campaign that encourages people to skip the content... Cant play like that. If I don't do all content then I feel like I'm missing on. Hence campaign takes me a week to go through
I put mostly everything here into practice during a new league start. Except the spending time in town part. The single biggest thing that slows me down every time is managing sockets/links. It takes forever to find a 4L (with the correct base) from a vendor, and it's too early to have the currency to craft my own. Then I find something that's a huge upgrade overall, except I can't use it because it uncaps one resist by 30%, or it's in the same slot as my current 4L, or some other weird shit that I have to juggle. If I just ignore it and "keep moving" I never end up upgrading anything and the zone level power creep becomes apparent pretty quickly. I also never seem to have enough currency for resist/life from the crafting bench while leveling, even though I make sure to have a full inventory to sell whenever I get to the next town. What do?
First, if we are newer players I have no clue where I am going much of the time and that is from playing for a while about a year ago and returning, and yes the tree still blows my mind so everyone who puts together a good build guide like you do I love :) I mean I am playing SSF and I think I got to Merviel the syren. I like killed her after my death then I teleported out to sell some things then I was like hey how do I get to Act II, oops. Yeah, go kill her again :) I mean in act II I never went into the library but I know I can buy more spells if I do so I'm kind of torn. Now I will admit I messed up trying to do the ascendancy, first I died standing in lava, yes I knew it was there but I thought I was out but obviously, my toe was in and I died, I forget why I died the second time, oh yeah spikes killed me. So I stopped playing for the night I will try again :) Why does my character not complain while they burn to death? I'm playing a few but with the Magic creeping first can I level all the skills all the time? Maybe your guide tells me this :)
A lot of my issues for being slow were brought to light in this guide. I kill EVERYTHING on the map, open every chest, and for some reason I always have to reveal the entire map. I think I play POE like I would and mmo and thats my major issue as to why I lvl so slowly.
The speed you can craft on boots is not limited to the item level of the boots. That said, 30% is the limit, and the character level required goes up as you craft higher movement speed.
I follow all that you are saying, but find as soon as I get to a boss, I find that I keep dying. I am following guides, good guides but just never get the equipment I need and find myself getting through the acts fast, but the stinken bosses, mostly the dungeon boss and the guard in act 3.
When I tried to just keep moving and I used smoke mine and flame dash and avoided as many mobs as i could, I finished the campaign in 6 hours at level 47 with no gear for maps. 😳
this should really be directed to people that have years of experience with this game and have memorized maps, not to new players at all. just play at ur own paste the campaign is actually fun and what is boring is the endgame maps are one of the biggest hurtle, I think of it as Korean grind loading instances over and over again with a few different modifiers... but maybe im doing it wrong I plays this game 5 years ago and just got back to it. a lot has changed
@@Miley_00 FIrst time playing? Sadly PoE is a very hard game, and if you are new you won't have a good build, you will just hit a wall. That said is an important learing experience to fuck up on your first playtrough. Truth is, without a cohesive build, it's just impossible to advance. You can either make a build with your current character (You will need...a lot of regret orbs) or start over. Just google PoE builds and pick one that is not super expensive and good for beginners. I know it sucks to start over, but that's what it is. You will have to do this every league anyway. As a casual player that still has 400hs in the game (It's nothing compared to "real" players) I feel you. If you need anything I can help you to the best of my habilities.
Well the thing is, I love to kill all the mobs. I love taking my time going through this game. I like walking my own path when creating a character. My Templar ended up being an aura and totem healer with a minion that does damage and heals on hit with his weapon, along with zombie minions. My Witch became a necromancer that has zombies, can summon skeletons, and raging skulls and her minions can summon phantasms when they hit enemies. She also uses Fire Wall which does more damage in a smaller area. My Shadow is being turned into WoW type hunter using zombies instead of a tamed pet. I'll probably turn a ranger into a rogue as I think it would do better as that. But you get the point. I follow my own path and just do what I want.
My first charter I think is in the 50s for lvl starting act 5. As went back to make a 2nd charter a scion. Which feel free to correct my thought on this build for my scion. A bow/minion build. Then sword and shield for alt weapon
Another tip: You don't need to talk to NPC's for the quests. You just talk to them when you want to get the rewards. Just go straight to where you should go. Saves a LOT of time. Pull up 'Badger's Leveling Guide' on reddit. It has an infographic type of the acts that would guide people where to go.
Everything in this video is some cool advice EXCEPT the passive points. don't skip them. You will hate having to go back to get them, do ALL of the passive point quest's AS you get to the zone's and as you're leveling. 1. You won't for get about them and 2. you won't EVER have to step foot back into the campaign after getting to maps. Always Always ALWAYS Do the passive's quests as you get to the zone's and as you're leveing. don't ever skip them that is the ONLY BAD/Terrible advice in this video, the Rest? Was almost spot on. just get the highest move speed boots you can/use skills that increase your movespeed and use your movement abilities. Always be moving and Always be using your movement skills as you can.
wall im a kind of a player once i finish a campaign i stop playing a game because it just becoming repetitive like maps in this game how many can u do before u get bored from that grinding? 10, 20,100? I did 10 maps today and I'm like bleee let me play something else...
the other command to know is /remaining. even though it shows the same info on the map screen with Tab, it can be easier to see in the chat window, to see remaining number of enemies in current zone.
I.. tried to do that. And get totally destroyed at each pack of monsters I crossed path with, very quickly, and all throughout the game. I ended the campaign at lvl 80, NOT because I wanted to, but because I couldn't progress at all, was getting fully stuck/owned 30+ times at every boss, despite pouring all my skills into minions & life+shield+resistances upgrades, and gearing up as I go, just to survive enough to reach the end of each zone. So I don't get this game, I think. :/ Leveling and clearing zones are not a "choice", in my runs, since a decade. I like playing that way, fortunately. (I got the sensation to really EARN each zone I finally cross, giving how crazy hard it is) But I still have no clue how all other players seem to just stomp on the game and make insanely crazy and efficient builds, or make work tactics like "just move". Now I finally finish the game, at lvl 80. And I'm still more fragile than ever, I get my ass totally kicked by all end-game stuff like Mine, Heist, Einar's beasts, Temple, dig sites and all. So, yeah, now I'm just sad. Because I don't think Path of Exile is for softcore players, in the end, and we're not meant to enjoy everything the game has to offer. It's meant for power gamer that just so inherently understand the numerous core mechanics enough to just "run fast with -3 lvl on each zone", and survive more than 3 minutes like this, yeah. I'm not sure you should lose time on us. But thanks for trying.
My biggest tip is stop focusing on killing so many enemies. Only kill what you need to kill to get through the level. I also pick up any gear I can use or sell until somewhere into act 2 so I can get some easy currency early for starter gear
I made the mistake of doing a ritual early in the campaign and a six linked armor with life and resist was there and I had to defer it. So shit, now I have to have it.
Leveling is only a problem after lvl 90. When a single freak death negates your XP progress of an entire map (or several as you go higher). 91->92 a death robs you of XP from 1-2 maps already. I never got above lvl 93 in PoE. Every time I get used to mechanics and ALL THE HOOPS YOU NEED TO JUMP THROUGH to not get 1shot by random things, GGG overhauls half the game and I'm back at square 1. Most of the time the builds I use have potential to scale enough for all game content to be doable, but it usually requires a lot more currency I'm able or willing to farm. I'm just not built for speedrunning maps in 30 seconds each (which GGG seem to expect for any kind of efficiency) I faintly remember the time when you were doing fine just capping resistances and having semi-decent HP... these days: - resistance cap is too low, you need to raise cap as well. If you're under 80% shit HURTS - defences on gear don't really matter because they're so low. You better use Auras as they are 50% more effective than gear - you need to be crit immune or you die to 1shots all the time - you need to be stun immune cause even momentary stun is a death sentence above act5 - you need to play with a shield or a staff because the other things can't get block capped and as a result you DIE often. Good luck trying to dual wield or use bow, sucker - you need to be ailment immune because most of them are OP enough to kill you in a second or less at lvl 90+ - you need to be curse immune or you need to reroll maps too often - you need to be reflect immune or you need to reroll maps too often - you need multiple RELIABLE sources of resource regen (HP/mana) or you need to reroll maps too often - you need to have 100% spell damage suppression because GGG decided to make all endgame spells superpowered - and probably at least 5 other things I'm forgetting at the moment While this list wouldn't be a problem if you could choose 3-4 to do and it would be enough. No. You need to count with ALL of them, or you'll never get to lvl 100. No matter how careful you might try going, the game actively works things out to kill you. All it takes is not being 100% focused for couple miliseconds, and you've just lost all XP you made in last couple of hours. If you try to farm XP faster, you're just gonna die even more often and thus, be forever locked on the same level. I honestly have no idea how someone gets to lvl 100 in HC, and I keep thinking anyone who plays HC is a raging masochist.
Ritual league mechanic can give you pretty good money though. If all you need is to level a character, sure, but otherwise even at lower level doing the rituals can give pretty good money as long as you can do them. I guess some players get _insane_ money from running super juiced maps with particularly powerful builds, but I think that doesn't apply to like 99% of players.
It's really simple, don't do anything at all, just rush past all the content, ignore that boring stuff, SKIP EVERYTHING, actually, just stop playing the game because you're not allowed to have fun!
My death counts before maps are usually above 100 because I will just shut my brain down and throw the bodies at bosses. It improves my speed of going through acts a lot.
I'm not sure about skipping skillpoint quests. I don't think it saves any time, cause having those skillpoints asap makes you stronger, which makes you quicker at killing stuff.
Once lvling with a shit early build and I literally died 48 times to (old) merciless Kaom lol. Entered the arena, threw everything and died insta. Repeat
13:25 in my 2:nd try of tirual tower (happened in The Mud Flats), i got my first ilvl_4 Tabula but then that's rng and some more referraling it first before the buyout
I think the most important one is stop killing everything and stop interacting with every mechanic (although I interact with new league mechanics to learn but this slows me down quite a bit). I consider finishing the campaign as having all skill points + lab. If I just rush to maps without those my brain will still feel like I'm not finished with the campaign.
just one thing ducks, im on my second character on this league and both dropped a tabula on the league mechanic ultimatium, dont know if i got really lucky or if the chances for a new character to get at least one early on is up, but it helped a lot true the leveling, so i never skip ultimatium while going true campaing but its defently faster not doing them :)
