    I gotta say, the hardest basic gear-slot to upgrade is bracer. My warrior is still running this, my last blue equipment item: Also, as an aside, I killed Avatar of Water. Bosses with AoE require careful placement. Pulling the Avatar of Water to the hallway protected most of my mercs from...

    FINALLY! The Draconium ore circle in NE Northern Wastes is actually pretty easy, decent xp from mobs (I got 1.5 veteran points doing it) and the panthers drop lots of meat for cooking (move speed food). Edit - my bind is in the city in Northern Wastes (Felarii) and typically every time I die...

    Gold income seems VERY low at the beginning but will pick up. I have 8 bank slots and 230 k saved up right now. You need to make sure you have banked money to revive your mercs and repair your items when you wipe. In retrospect, you are better off to sell everything until you know you need...

    This wait for the second key-holder spawn in the Vault of the Vanished is bullshit. 50% spawn chance my ass. Edit - I knew it - as soon as I complained it spawned lol.

    Urzak with a dispel scroll for the Primal Fury during Enrage is easy-peasy. Stack in a Scroll of Lethargy for good measure. Tried Avatar of Water blind, realized he has a problematic AOE that needs to be countered. I farmed for a couple more tries at him later. Kragek has dropped gloves for...

    Cashed in all my Adventurer Guild runes for, well, basically loot boxes. Among the random augments were a couple of interesting items with great resists. Took a small drop in hp as that artifact is more a caster item: Also this:

    Ah yes, so I put my Winterforge fatecharm in my primary backpack and make my way to Captain Kragek. On the way the guards drop 2 ranger set boots. Kragek drops that pos +40 char ring and............Ranger set gloves. Welp, that's enough for me for tonight. RNGesus just laughing it up.

    I am 47 VT I think? I have a Dawnstone, but haven't seen the Staff of Flowers yet. Duly noted. It's funny how the typical end game routine in a game like this is ultimately comparable across players - Fabled Lizardmen + Ssaryx, Kragek, do-able world bosses and Sunken Temple is my current...

    Well I killed Pyroth (he didn't drop his quest item), Nyxarion (only issue was the fear but powered through), and tried Urzak: his Primal Fury skill is a MUST INTERRUPT during enrage. And there is enough lag that properly stun countering a skill is difficult. So I died. The Primal Fury skill...

    Wow, Ancient Cyclops was surprisingly easy. I geared past him clearly. That staff has some serious gear score lol - my wizard now has an iLvl greater than me. Based on Kirun's comments, I am going to try Urzak next. Edit - thought I would run the fabled lizardmen before bed, and lucked...

    Sorry for spam replies, but I need some clarity. For instance, with Overseer Garok in the orc fortress, should I be cycling through the zone clearing respawns, waiting for him to spawn, or is it the same chance as on paid reset?

    I second Kirun's recommendation. I scattered in Adventurer quests occasionally just to avoid burning out on the zone.

    Good to know, thanks. Managed to kill Sszaryx, he wasn't as hard as I expected. Of course he dropped his boot item, and my entire party has set boots from Winterforge. Mf'er. Clearly not an upgrade:

    Got some Lizard fabled upgrades, but I am still behind the Kirun curve, around 13.4 k hps without potions or food. Only 299 constitution, what a scrub! And this helped my cleric a ton: Haven't seen the Avatar of Water item spawner yet, cleared it maybe 4 times so far? Going after...

    Yeah, Balatro will grab you by your balls for a while. Have fun. Finally killed Captain Kragek, and that pos only dropped his shield and not one of the set gloves. Stingy prick. I will say that the shield was an upgrade for me though lol. VT40, full buffed with potions and food around 12.5...
