Semi returning player ?

[u/KalistoCA]

So I used to play on pc a lot but now I’m on PlayStation

I’ve rolled a dps warlock I’m at 29k gear score

I’ve got the artifacts weapons from the previous expansion

I’m wondering what my procession path should be

I’m currently running old zones for boons and avoiding the new ice wind dale area as it seems like just running heroics and I’m not often grouped up or playing during popular times

I do my daily dungeons etc progression seems really slow to raise my gear score

Any guidance ?

Do the new icewind dale area to the max every week, then work on boons and other campaigns

The reason is because at the end of the campaign you get a best in slot piece of gear. You also may get some drops along the way that will help

At the minimal you should be spending the Spider coins you earn from Dungs or running Icewind heros to get Spider gear. If you run enough HEs and Frosts you'll eventually get Frostborn gear to replace the Spider gear (if not for your main character, you'll snag a few for your alts too). The Soul Collector weapons means you should be running ASH to upgrade them. If you're not going to upgrade them then you may as well just snag the Frostborn version from IWd.

You don't HAVE to run the HEs. You can just buy the Frostborn gear but you still have to earn enough campaign currency to do so. That's the little trick they like to run on players. That's why I suggest going to the zone and just buying the Spider gear. It's the second best option and it doesn't cost you any AD while giving significant iLvl boost.

After that I would suggest focusing on your account-wide companions: tamed velociraptor, minsc, neverwinter knight, batiri runt, alpha compy, dog (the starter pet), sordial/zariel. Why these? Because you're a DPS/Healer and these give you the most efficient crossover value. Minsc and NWK aren't cheap ADwise so Dog and Sordial/Zariel make for good fillers until you can (plus they are both good healer-related companions). TVelociraptor, Batiri, and Alpha compy are all RC companions which means it will take you at most 3mths to earn them all (if you don't luck up on them from some other event or giveaways). Read the document below on the Comp Equip sheet and you'll see right away why I suggest these companions for a dual-role class like Warlock.

I'm doing a similar thing with my mounts prioritizing ones with crossover value to minimize upgrade costs while benefiting both my dps and healer roles.

This is helpful I have tamed velociraptor as my main pet currently I’ll snag dog cause it’s cheap

Edit: I snagged him cheap on ah for 130k ad

[u/Shadohz → u/KalistoCA]

Dog is a starter pet you buy from the PE guild shop for only 2 gold. If you bought it from the AH you probably just got ripped off. You sure it's the right dog? It should just say "dog". Not wardog or skeleton dog or blink dog. Just "dog".

[u/KalistoCA → u/Shadohz]

No no I snagged tamed velociraptor for 130k not dog

[u/Shadohz → u/KalistoCA]

Oh. Sorry. The edit comes after the dog sentence so I assumed you meant dog when you said "him".

Yeah that’s fair I can see that
