I've been super into pit recently and I finally stopped wasting gold on armor and useless passives and grinded 3PB and 7vile. I also bought Heresy, Contractor, and First Strike!
So - with the don't spend wealth thing. I'm pres 3 and with just full dia armor and a dia axe I can hit overdrive, surely it's worth doing that I get xp like 10 times faster. Worth noting I always outskirt streak and never go near mid.
Eve I have been into pit and I believed in ur prophecies and I have 2 pebble 3s and 1 op pebble 2 as a level 100 non prestiged and I am rich cuz of pebble. I have 3 cacty 2 vile 2 fresh 20k gold and I am getting insane value out of pebble and events. My ender chest is full of good enchants like wasp and I am buying dia armor constantly so I can free some storage space
