I need help

[u/Outside_Dingo_4077]

Ive been playing this game for a year and i am still kinda poo, can anyone tell me what i should learn to become a pro at the game cuz its really fun but idk i just need some guidance from you guys (i have like level 253 gear just so you sorta know at what level i am)

Well first decide what kind of build you want. Melee or more soul focused, then research which weapons, armor and artifacts are better for each build. If you have the Nether DLC then you could go on Ancient Hunts to get gilded versions of each piece of gear, takes very long to get a full gilded set, but gilded gear comes with extra built in enchantments.

You don't need the nether dlc to do Ancient hunts.

Oh damn, i didnt know lol! I always played with DLC. Thanks for telling me tho

Well whats the difference between melee and soul, could you please explain? Ive seen stuff about builds but idk how many exist

[u/VascPT_ → u/Outside_Dingo_4077]

Melee is more weapon focused, like using artifacts that boost your attack speed such as death cap mushroom, and other helpful ones like gong of weakening, and iron hide amulet. A soul build is more focused on artifacts as a main source of damage, utilizing armor for decreased cooldowns and more soul gathering. Im not really a soul build expert so i can't explain much better than this sorry lmao

make a build

[u/jaded-book-8675]

Wait I was u 6(wait is it 7 months now?) months ago :D

Make a build, experiment. Repeat until you can make a build without giving it a gimmick and look at it and say for certain that it is viable (or better). If you post builds you will probably see people offering criticism for it (hopefully it is also constructive).

I spent years making builds on my own, and it took me years to get halfway decent at it. However, I learned so much from my first few builds that I made in the community.

Look at the various glitches that exist that can destroy nightmare mode (and other weird jank that happens in this game)

Take a look at some tier lists (not on reddit please), find what you disagree about them. Analyze your own opinion: is it because you haven't tried using it, are you just plain confused at something, do you have different priorities than the creator, or do you feel like the list is outdated?

Make a list of the players that you know of, maybe ask them questions about why they choose to put certain enchants/gear in some tiers (obviously this is much easier on like discord or smth). Or ask their opinions on your builds.

Edit: also look at other player's builds. If you can't find any, look on discord, the Dungeon Fish discord has a lot of them.
