That's so cool to hear! That's exactly what we were going for!

Thank you, so much. I'm really glad it helped!!!

Thank you, this was really cool 😎

Thank you! I really appreciate it!

That is an excellent take on what I was trying to do and as for the rest of your post, well said!

Awesome, my friend! I'm glad you liked it!

I'm so glad. I really appreciate it!!!

I totally agree 👍

Should also drop uber uniques. Duriel over and organizers over is lame af

That is awesome and exactly what I was attempting. You are so welcome!

Pro tip: you can actually transform Rares into Legendaries by imprinting an aspect onto it.

I just noticed this and instead of keeping some rares I SCRAPPED ALL OF THEM 🥲🥲

I personally agree with the first playthrough piece, though I do emphasize that players should play the way they enjoy the most. I stepped into POE about 10years late as well and I couldn't imagine doing it without guides or at least with friends that know what they are doing. Overall, I think you have a good approach. Also, thank you for taking the time to write it out, I really appreciate it!

Thanks. Yeah POE is off the wall. I learned it the hard way on seasonal hardcore. 17 characters later I finally made it through the Atlas and some ubers.. then proceeded to get one shot when a flask was down with bad timing. In D3 I died to lag spikes more often than anything.. or that one random blind Teleport across a wall into a huge mob of insta-simultaneous exploding triple affix elites. Anyways, keep it up. Very informative videos you have. 👍 but like someone else mentioned, maybe take a stab at some dedicated hardcore stuff for those niche self-infuriating masochistic psychos like myself. 😂

Awesome! Glad it helped!

I only do that when I'm getting ready for capstones

Awesome! Thanks, Man. Yeah, I'm excited to see the changes in season 4.

Just by replacing it with another codex power or an offensive imprint pulled from another item.

Thanks, man! 😊

Thanks, man! There are a lot of changes coming. I'll probably do an update next season.

No, it just means that the higher and lower RNG are higher than lower item level items. So, if the range on an affix for a lower item level item is 7-15 it might be 12-20 for a higher item level.

The biggest thing is going to be when they spawn. Just go to this link: maxroll.gg/d4/map-tool and at the top under the navigation you'll see the countdown timers. The one on the far right will say what world boss is next and how many minutes till the appear. Then below that you will see the map, type in "world boss" in the search, on the left side of the map, and it will highlight the world boss events on the map. The Icon is the yellow and orange double triangles. Let me know if this help.

You also wont be able to see the icon until you beat the campaign

I hope so too! It's surprising when I watch my old videos, it either seems like everything has changed or nothing. I'm looking forward to season 4 and if enough changes, I'll probably do an update video.

I think he means the material cost to add a socket. If there is already a socket, throw them in.

Also, that is a note for early game (pre world tier 3)

Except the ranges on all affixes have a higher upper limits as the item level increases. That being said all affixes are rng and could roll the lower end of the range. So, if a 925 has an affix on it that rolls the lower end of its range, then an 860 rolls the top end of its range that stat could be higher, but if a 925 rolls it’s max then the 860 can’t match it.

And that is true the DPS on non active weapons does not count to the damage totals, but it’s affixes can.

@OwnModeGaming right my point being you can have a higher rng roll 860 than a lower rng roll 925. If you only look for 925 I think you could be missing a lot of good stuff. Albeit saving a lot of sanity/time

​@@theroachmotel Totally agree. I was for the longest time a completionist, which is a totally valid way to play as long as you enjoy it. I just found that sometimes checking every item cost me so much extra time that if it was better to find a more targeted strategy, then I could get what I ultimately wanted faster. So, in this case I'm trying to min/max for endgame, so I want to shoot for the items that are most likely to get me there. Then you add the resources for upgrading and enchanting, so if you save those material only for items that have even a chance at the highest range, then I just shoot for those. That's how I got there. I might be passing up smaller improvements but in most runs I end up with a set of ancestrals between 820-870 as my first set and then replace all those with 925 as soon as I can. Also, I really appreciate the comments. I enjoy people that are excited about the games they play, so thank you!

@@OwnModeGaming You're not completely true here. Most of gear affixes have tiers. For example, crit chance range will be the same for 925 and 880 item level. I didn't remember where top tier starts, I think it's around item level 860. There are few exceptions for this. First, damage for weapons and armor for gear are increasing with item level without tiers. It's only important for weapons, as all damage modifiers scales from base weapon damage. Several more points in armor didn't make much difference. Second, there are few affixes that doesn't have tiers, but mostly not important ones like Thorns. Long story short: only items that really must me 925 is your weapon with which you deal damage.

That might work :)

Yeah, that is solid. If you are dying constantly definitely drop a world tier it's not worth it time-wise. I usually aim to hit wt3 at about 45 and hitting wt4 at 60 seems perfect. Thanks for the great add, I appreciate it!

@@OwnModeGaming it's great if someone can power level you but if you need your capstone done for you odds are the next WT ain't for you yet. Also pushing NM dungeons early is pointless stick with someone you can do easily if 10 lvls above you is easy it's certainly optimal but if you can only consistently clear 2 lvls higher than you quickly stay their your patience will be rewarded especially if in a group having troubles remember you gain more XP from mobs higher lvl but you gain zero XP while you're dead. Just thought I'd add that in great video keep it up. Wish D4 was in S4 already so player count would go back up soooo boring by my lonesome haha

But I thought it's recommended to not start wt4 until level 70+?? I didn't have enough stats or power to even think about wt4 until then

@@scuderia9215 well with ancestrals lvl 60 now it's much easier

@@scuderia9215 what I suggest is get 60 get to WT 4 if you can go to temple of rot strong hold do not complete it there is a chest in the back go grab it in wt 4 go to safe spot log out log in repeat to get few quick ancestrals or nice legendaries. May take a few tries but you should find decent gear within 10-20 tries also always check th shop at the top of every hour you would be surprised what kinda gear you can find in there 3 Dr pants perf rolled amulets all kinds of things.

I can't it's working really well and changing things doesn't always go well.😊

I have since retested that. The drops you get during the run are almost never 925s but the handful you get at completion of a NMD tend to drop higher item levels. It looks like they start dropping more 925s in the high 50s but way more consistent in 60+ and extremely solid in the 70+, but that is still only the completion drops.

@@OwnModeGaming ah I can't get that high yet I'm using a tb rogue and they're just way too squishy for that high of tier and there's not too much you can do about it in terms of defense

bro u gotta get on the janky stutterstep blood nova necro, it's seemingly immortal at any dungeon level

You definitely do over time you're taking out more then half the clicks and you just have to float over an item and hit a hot key vs click on each item and then click on the prompt one at a time. That being said, always do it how you want or enjoy! Have a great one!

Thank You ❤

@OwnModeGaming I didn't have time to type lol , it was very helpful, so thanks 😊 ☺️ 😄

Not hard to find, just easy to run out of.

@@OwnModeGaming never thought of that, guess its just me justifying my mistakes 😂 nice guide

Yeah, you should be entering world tier 3 soon after finishing the campaign and then on to world tier 4.

@@OwnModeGamingthank you!

Nightmare vaults are even better, gone at the end of the season though!

It is not POE because you need a master degree not to suck at POE. Not everyone's going to enjoy that. As far as any game is concerned everybody figures out different things when they play and this is just me sharing the things I learned. I don't know why everybody seems so ready to tell everyone what games to play and how they are only good if they do 'x',or that their games sucks compared to this other one. Please just chill and play what you want how you want to play it.

@@OwnModeGaming That’s exactly what I’m saying here. I’m not bashing you at all I’m talking to the people in the comments speaking negatively of the game and people who can’t figure stuff out on their own. It’s the most accessible easy to understand arpg on the market but that doesn’t mean someone should feel bad about having to look up a guide. I think I may have worded things poorly but I agree with what you’re saying. Again no hate at all!

@@thatsoulsguy3028 appreciate the follow-up. Comments aren't always the cleanest form of communication.

Thanks, man! Is that in just the end drops or is that any drop? Also, curious if it is all drops is that the first level they drop during the middle of the run. If you don't know, don't worry. It would just save me a test.

No worries bud and it's any drop until the end where you get the rewards

Agreed! Going to be much better this season. I was pretty shocked during the PTR how different it felt.

Love hearing your take, my friend. I also don't believe that the capstones are hard. Especially, if you are going in at the levels they recommend but can get far more difficult the lower the level you enter. The build can definitely affect this. Lightning ball Sorc had not problem going in 10 levels early for capstone 1 and 20+ levels for capstone 2. As for the outdated, that is just the nature of doing tip based KZfaq videos. Sometimes a video only lasts a week and other times it will last months. My plan is to do an update video video next season when I have enough testing in to do it justice. Next Season is going to be awesome! Did you play any of the PTR?

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Yeah, that is definitely a very different problem to solve. I don't run hardcore often but you got me thinking.

Says you. I find this extremely helpful

lol duh

It's really an issue for min/max but the top range of any affix on an 850 will be less than the max on a 925 and if that is happening on every piece it really adds up.

@@OwnModeGaming Next season for sure because of the nerfs for damage reduction. 865 now though has the same stat ranges as a 925 if I understand it correctly. Weapons should prioritize 925 first. Dmg reduction between those 2 ranges are like 2% so a full gear of that really does add up! Just recently had a convo like this with a friend. Forgot where the actual drop-off was.

Did the title offend you somehow?

Ultimately, I believe people can play however they want. If you want to play a game without any outside input, then enjoy. If other people want to check out videos and get pointers, then they can do that and, yes, there is even a fairly large group of people that just watch others play. I think we need to get to a point where our way of playing is not something we need to defend and that we don't have to criticize if others want to do it differently. This was all supposed to be for fun and we have made it so combative. I do also want to say I appreciate you leaving a detailed comment of your thoughts, so much better than the person that just posts a slur and runs 🙂

@@OwnModeGaming oh I'm not trying to attack anyone's preferred way of playing just the way I Heard and perceived what was said just seems like "if your not doing this then you're not doing it right" that's just the way I seen only what you said I'm not here to criticize I enjoy looking at others input on games and applying it to my own gameplay as well but I also think you shouldn't just be able to copy a build to make you better in game than you actually are skill wise if that makes Sense just seems to make the pool of people that are actually "great" bc they put the time in to actually understand how everything works and apply there own thinking to the process instead of just download never get good and just take someone else's complete build even down to the aspects gems and such and now my hundreds sometimes thousands of hours just for you to match it with zero actually effort on your part. You see what I mean? I'm not here to bash anyone's welcome to do it however they like it just seems like "pay to win" type scenarios

Personally, I prefer to take my time at the start of a game, learn what my character can do, learn how I can alter their playstyles to fit my preferences, and I take very, very little outside input because the first playthrough is something very personal to me. Very rarely do I share that experience, and only with a very few select number of people, i.e. Elden Ring with my best friend, the one and only time I have done co-op on my first playthru of a Souls game, or MH Rise with multiple friends, but even then I usually tried hunting a monster at least once before doing it co-op. Once my first playthrough is complete as thoroughly as I can by myself, then I'll start looking up build guides, secrets, etc.

Right my thing though honestly isn't that I don't think anybody should look up tips and stuff to get better I just don't think you should be able to just copy a load out and go point by point through other people's specs just to be given the easy W bc at that point that's all your doing and it makes it worth less to the people that do it on there own that actually put in the time effort research and actual play skills when I put 10,000 hours in a game to get to the point I'm at and you get there in 30 hours only bc your copying what it took thousands of hours for me to learn bc I did it the hard way ya know it's like looking at a self made millionaire and comparing them to someone Born into millions

@@Eazyaz1234 I don't necessarily agree that it makes it pointless for people to figure stuff out themselves. I see this controversy a lot in Yugioh too. The meta players think the only way to play is to copy/paste the best decks, and the casuals think that meta builds are ruining the game. In both fandoms, people need to realize that we can have both. There can be people like you and me who try to figure everything out ourselves, and that is valuable to us. And there can be people who look up meta builds while their game is still downloading, and that's fine too. At the end of the day, it's people like you and me who discover the OP shit, or we find tweaks to the OP shit that is just as viable. Without us, the meta wouldn't even exist.

Thanks, that is awesome!

90+ makes it guaranteed until season 4 makes mob levels 85+ drop them instead of 140+
