Tree of Savior Celebrates Release in May
The release schedule for the international version of the free-to-play MMORPG “Tree of Savior” has had quite a wild journey.

Tree of Savior is an action MMORPG from an isometric perspective. Besides numerous group activities, such as large dungeons and challenging bosses, there is also a lot for PvP fans to experience – guild wars are just one of many battle options. Typical of Asia is not only the manga-style graphic style but also the leveling system of Tree of Savior. Those looking to reach the maximum level of 280 should prepare for long grinding, even though some dedicated fans managed to achieve this during the early access phase.

You need to do this to unlock Mercy’s Wings from Overwatch for your Diablo 3 characters.
Like many other games from Blizzard, by purchasing or pre-ordering Overwatch, you also get exclusive cosmetic bonuses in other Blizzard games.

If you have already pre-ordered the Overwatch Origins Edition through Battle.net, you should find the wings in your in-game collection stash. If you plan to buy a physical copy of the game, you will find a code in the game case that you can then activate on Battle.net. The codes work for both the base version of Diablo 3 and Diablo 3 – Reaper of Souls.

In World of Warcraft: Legion, much revolves around the artifact weapons. These are given to players early on and grow with their bearers throughout the expansion. Each talent specialization gets its own weapon, which means Warlocks have a total of 3 artifacts available. Let’s take a look at the individual weapons.
Affliction – Ulthalesh, Reaper of the Dead Winds (Artifact Weapon for Affliction Warlocks)
Background story: Azeroth’s first Necrolord, Satiel, received this scythe from the dark titan Sargeras himself. Satiel set out to harvest and collected the life energy of the inhabitants of the Dead Winds mountain pass, which gradually empowered the scythe more and more. At some point, it became so powerful that it created a strong nexus – prompting the Guardian of Tirisfal to intervene. After a long chase, the Guardian managed to turn the scythe against Satiel, resulting in her own demise. Ultimately, the dark riders claimed the scythe and hid it deep under the tower of Karazhan – the tower of Medivh.
Properties of Ulthalesh, Reaper of the Dead Winds: As Affliction is the DoT specialization of the Warlock, most artifact properties are designed to enhance these spells. However, there are some peculiarities, such as the ability to completely heal oneself with the health stone.
Reap Souls allows the weapon to consume all currently captured souls, increasing the Warlock’s damage by 10% per consumed soul for 5 seconds. At the same time, the effect of all other weapon properties is doubled for this duration.
With Soul Flame, the soul of an enemy explodes upon their death, dealing moderate area damage.
Wrath of Consumption enhances the Warlock as long as they defeat additional enemies. When an opponent dies, the damage of all Warlock’s DoTs increases by 2% for 20 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
Harvester of Souls grants the character additional damage and self-healing. Each time Corruption deals damage, there is a 15% chance to deal additional damage and heal for a small amount.
Destruction – Skull of the Man’ari (Artifact Weapon for Destruction Warlocks)
Background story: Even before the Eredar were corrupted by Sargeras, they were already highly skilled spellcasters. Thal’kiel, one of the leaders of the people, was considered particularly powerful. Driven by ambition, he reached far into the Void and was rewarded with knowledge. He learned of dark creatures that overshadowed everything the Eredar had ever seen. Thal’kiel’s pupil, Archimonde, learned of his master’s dark pact and convinced the other leaders that Thal’kiel needed to be stopped. Thal’kiel was killed, and his skull was gilded to serve as a warning example to all those who deal recklessly with magic. In the modern era, the skull serves as a spell focus for the dreadlord Mephistroth – until players take the skull from him.
Properties of the Skull of the Man’ari: The usual properties of the skull are hardly surprising; almost all increase the direct damage of the Warlock or their demons.
Starting off with Thal’kiel’s Consumption. A spell that steals 10% of the maximum HP of all currently summoned demons and deals this as damage to the targeted enemy.
Thal’kiel’s Discord allows the weapon to occasionally teleport to a random enemy after a Shadow Bolt. There, the skull screams, dealing high damage to all nearby enemies and frightening lesser demons and undead for 6 seconds.
Through Stolen Power, the Warlock accumulates stacks. Each time one of the Warlock’s demons deals damage, 1 stack is generated. Once 100 stacks are accumulated, the next Shadow Bolt deals 100% more damage.
The Expandables makes wild imps more useful. Each time a wild imp dies, the damage of all other Warlock’s demons increases by 1%. This effect can stack up to 15 times.
Destruction – Scepter of Sargeras (Artifact Weapon for Destruction Warlocks)
Background story: It took several hundred servants of Sargeras to create this staff. The weapon is capable of creating dimensional portals and thus connecting worlds. The most famous wielder is perhaps the orc shaman Ner’zhul, who created portals for the conquests of the orcs that destroyed numerous worlds. Through these portals, the original Draenor became the shattered world. Later, the weapon fell into the hands of the Kirin Tor, but they were unable to destroy a weapon of such power. So they at least wanted to prevent the weapon from ever being used again – until now.
Properties of the Scepter of Sargeras: The properties of the scepter are direct, unambiguous enhancements of damage. Additionally, there is an interesting effect that using Demonic Portal heals the Warlock for 50% of their maximum health points.
With Dimensional Rift, the Warlock opens a portal that deals damage to the targeted enemy. This spell has up to 3 charges.
Through Dimension Ripper, every Incinerate has a 6% chance to restore a charge of Dimensional Rift.
Conflagration of Chaos ensures that the spell Conflagrate guarantees that the next spell Conflagrate critically hits. Your critical strike rating is converted into additional damage for this effect.
The Lord of Flames effect enhances Rain of Fire, allowing you to summon 6 infernals to serve the Warlock for 8 seconds once every 10 minutes.
Since yesterday evening, PC players of the third-person online space shooter Warframe can prove themselves in the arena. Console Tenno, on the other hand, can enjoy more choices in their virtual wardrobe. We present both updates.
You will be notified by Cressa Tal, the head of the Steel Meridian syndicate, who asks for your help. Some Grineer defectors have been captured by Kela de Thaym and are to be brought before the Rathuum combat court for the amusement of their supporters. Whoever wins is free. Whoever loses… well.
The revised Kela de Thaym – yes, that’s a woman!
But you can take her place and fight for the freedom of the oppressed. To do this, you need to earn a total of 100 Tribunal points to buy the prisoners free from Kela. You have three arenas available with varying difficulty levels. The higher the enemy level, the more Tribunal points you can claim with a victory.
Modifiers Galore
However, you will face different executioners, which will not be an easy task. For winning, your gear items, such as energy and health pods, cannot be used. However, there are various refresh points in the arena, like those found in the Conclave.
Kela and her following as decorative Noggle statues
In addition, you can expect various modifiers. For instance, you might have to manage with half health, shield, or energy, be permanently drained of health, or have no respawns at all. Particularly nasty.
If those obstacles weren’t enough, it’s worth mentioning that the executioners have been equipped with new mods to give them an additional advantage and make your demise as challenging as possible. You can grab these 9 new mods in your fight against Kela personally, as well as the blueprint for the Dual Kohmak.
Rewards
If you successfully fight your way through the arenas and become the executioner of the executioners, Steel Meridian rewards you with the Rathuum badge, seal, and the Furax Wraith. This is a melee weapon that has slightly improved stats compared to its normal version.
The Twin Kohmak shotguns blueprint can be obtained upon Kela’s demise
When you finally receive the coordinates for the location of Kela de Thaym’s defectors, your actual syndicate will also contact you and make any suggestions regarding the next steps concerning the prisoners.
Additionally, there is once again a trophy to earn in the final arena, which can be repeated as often as you like for your clan. Here, the sum of the best results of all participating clan members counts. How many executioners you need to execute for the best result regarding the size of your clan can be found in the following table.
Until May 9, you still have time to earn fame and honor for your clan and face Kela de Thaym and her followers who crave deadly entertainment.
Holy Guardian for Consoles
While PC players can attempt their luck in bloody arena battles, there is the “Holy Guardian” update for console players. This includes alternative helmets for Nezha, Atlas, and Wukong, as well as the Oberon Feyarch Deluxe Skin, which is also available in a package with an alternative look for Paris and Ack & Brunt.
Oberon in his deluxe attire
If you’re not part of the fashion enthusiasts, there are two new weapons waiting to be built and tested: the Zhuge crossbow and the Sibear hammer. Both blueprints are available in the market and can be crafted with the collected materials.
Furthermore, many changes regarding balance in PvP have been made. Anyone who wants to know exactly if their preferred equipment still works as before should grab a coffee and take a long look at the lengthy list, as it would exceed the scope at this point.
Nezha with alternative helmet “Circa” and Zhuge, as well as the hammer Sibear in Frost’s hands
And if you have always wanted to face a level 100 boss in daily missions, there is now a chance to do so as a final task.

With the April update of Destiny, the hand cannon Hawkmoon has been upgraded. Is it worth purchasing it from Xur?
Currently, Xur, the mysterious exotic vendor in Destiny, has some really delicious items on offer. In addition to the Ram, ATS/8 Arachnid, and the long-awaited Dawnblade Garrison of the Titan, Xur also offers the Hawkmoon. This has been upgraded with the April update. We ask the question: Is it worth it to purchase the Hawkmoon this weekend?
This is how the Hawkmoon stands after the April update
Unfortunately, one must say in advance: The Hawkmoon has not regained its dominant position after the April update, which the exotic, formerly PlayStation-exclusive hand cannon held in Year 1. Xbox users will still not experience the phenomenon “Hawkmoon” after the latest update.
These upgrades were made to the Hawkmoon in April:
The weapon received a base range increase of 10.
The inventory capacity of hand cannon ammunition, including that of the Hawkmoon, has been increased.
In the previous Year 2 of Destiny, the low reserve ammunition was considered a frustrating drawback of hand cannons. Now the problem is being addressed, but many Guardians still report that they often run out of ammunition with the Hawkmoon. They then have to bite through hordes of enemies to find some rounds for the primary weapon. This ammo intervention by Bungie went in the right direction; however, it apparently was not bold enough.
The increase in range really benefits the Hawkmoon: For hand cannons, range is one of the most important values, allowing you to deal high damage to more distant enemies. Therefore, it’s worth focusing on Hammer Forged perks for Hawkmoon, which enhance range and precision. Additionally, choose Field Choke or Enhanced Ballistics to increase range and impact.
Is it worth getting the Hawkmoon?
Besides the attractive design, Guardians are excited about two powerful perks on the Hawkmoon: With Lucky Rounds and Two for One, three out of eleven rounds in a magazine deal significant bonus damage. This allows you to dispatch Guardians in PvP with just two shots. This power has not diminished for the Hawkmoon over the months.
The Hawkmoon feels exotic, both in power and appearance. Thus, the recommendation to all Guardians who do not yet own a Hawkmoon is:
Yes, go for it!
In PvE, it deals devastating damage – as long as you find enough ammunition for it. In PvP, it can ruin the mood of enemy Guardians when you send them to their demise with just a few shots. Even if other weapons are currently trending in the Crucible, the Hawkmoon remains an excellent alternative. It is simply fun to roam through the Destiny universe with it.
The Hawkmoon cannot reach its former glory days from Year 1, this realization remains. However, its lethality still flickers now and then.

One more tip: For precise shots – especially from a distance – you should not fire the Hawkmoon as quickly as it allows you. Let it return to the starting position after each shot before pulling the trigger again, as the rounds will otherwise fly wildly towards your enemies. It’s better to wait a few fractions of a second longer to handle the weapon with deadly precision.
Since Xur will disappear from the Tower tomorrow, May 1st, at 11 a.m., you should not delay your purchasing decision too long.
In No Man’s Sky , the developers talk about lore and storytelling in the space simulation.
No Man’s Sky will probably not have action-packed or profound cutscenes that will present players with the background story of the survival game. Moreover, we should not expect a traditional storyline that will guide us through the seemingly endless galaxy.
Nevertheless, the future space adventurers are to discover the lore behind the space simulation in a special way that is probably unique at this level.
About Lore and Storytelling in No Man’s Sky
There are estimated to be 18 trillion planets in the No Man’s Sky galaxy. On each planet, players will find clues that will gradually shape the picture of the game’s background story. The lore is meant to show players that everything they find in the galaxy exists for a specific reason.
However, players have to piece together this puzzle themselves. Therefore, Sean Murray, the founder of Hello Games, states that the lore will be “a little different” than what players are used to from other games.
You don’t get the story served on a silver platter but must discover it on your explorations. For example, each building could contain information about who might have built it and for what reasons. The developer team was advised by author and graphic designer Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) and author James Swallow (Star Trek). They created their own stories within the No Man’s Sky galaxy, which are published in a comic called “Adventures in No Man’s Sky.” This is included in the Limited Edition of the game.

In an article about The Division, Ubisoft Massive discusses how they will deal with cheaters and exploiters in the future and how they will improve the gameplay experience for the righteous agents.
In an official statement regarding cheats and exploits in The Division, the developers emphasize that they always want to enable a high-quality gameplay experience for the agents. However, this goal has recently been hindered by numerous problems. To restore a pleasant environment, stricter measures must now be enforced. Massive has great plans for the future of The Division – but first, the current gaming experience must be elevated to a higher level.
Stricter penalties for cheaters
Massive wants to increase efforts to identify and punish cheaters. The following two aspects are intended to address this issue:
New cheat detection methods have already been implemented, allowing developers to act more efficiently against cheaters. According to Massive, more cheaters have been caught in recent days than in the weeks prior. Accordingly, there will be a significant ban wave in the coming days.
Furthermore, cheaters who are caught for the first time will be banned from the game for 14 days. Previously, it was only three days. A second offense results in a permanent ban.
Further upgrades to identify cheaters are also in progress.
More transparency regarding exploits and bugs
Furthermore, the developers state that they always want to deliver flawless new content. This is the best way to avoid bugs and exploits. However, they will never be able to simulate the gameplay experience of millions of agents, which is why some bugs might slip through the testing phases of the game.
In addition to the goal of releasing as bug-free content as possible, the developers also want to prevent agents from exploiting glitches that occur. They wish to achieve this as follows:
Players will be more transparently informed about the exploits and the penalties for them. As soon as new bugs are discovered, the team will promptly review them. All known issues will then be clearly listed in a public forum where any agent can view them. All players should be informed about this. This is intended to ensure that all agents who exploit these exploits are aware of the consequences and can be held accountable.
The penalties for exploiting exploits will be imposed individually. These will depend on how severe the extent of the cheating was and whether the player has already shown negative behavior before. Sanctions can include bans, character rollbacks, and permanent bans. Players who stumble upon such bugs more or less by accident have nothing to fear.
Massive wants to restore the quality of the gameplay experience to a high level:
And we will take all necessary steps to achieve this goal.

In World of Warcraft: Legion, the park of Stormwind is being rebuilt. This has a significant reason.
The Reconstruction of the Park of Stormwind
Before anyone complains: Warning, this post contains spoilers for the story of Legion. You have been warned.
Since Deathwing proclaimed the Hour of Twilight in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, half of Azeroth has been in ruins. Especially the capital of the humans, Stormwind, was heavily devastated by the Cataclysm and has struggled to recover since then. In the upcoming expansion Legion, the craftsmen of Stormwind have worked hard to make the park a beautiful place again.
The reason for this is unfortunately of a sad nature (at least for Alliance players), as the grave of Varian Wrynn will be located there. You can see what at least the final resting place of the King of Stormwind looks like in this screenshot from mmo-champion.
Not yet has the new park arrived on the test servers of Legion, but it is only a matter of time.

Today, fresh item deliveries have arrived for the vendors in The Division. We take a look at what the special equipment vendor and the DZ weapons vendor have for PS4, Xbox One, and PC this week.
On the night from Friday to Saturday, the vendors’ offerings change in The Division. Particularly interesting are the special equipment vendor and the DZ weapons vendor, as they carry high-level items that are exciting for many agents. While the items are mostly completely exchanged weekly, the blueprints generally remain the same. Sometimes they are provided with new price tags.
You can find the special equipment vendor in the operations base in the tech wing and the Dark Zone weapons vendor in the DZ03 safe room:
What the special equipment vendor offers starting from April 30th
This vendor charges Phoenix Credits in exchange for his high-end goods. While he surprised with the desirable weapon AUG A3 Para XS and SOCOM M1A last week, the weapons this week are less spectacular. However, this may be a chance for some agents to test other weapons thoroughly.
Weapons:
MK46 – Military Version (Light Machine Gun): 820 PCs – Value 204 (Talents: Destroyer, Accurate, Prepared)
Px4 Storm Type T (Pistol): 656 PCs – Value 204 (Talents: Expert, Painful)
Additionally, there is a tactical vest, two knee pads, and a holster of high-end quality available for purchase. The stylish cosmetic items Ranger Jacket and Jacket – Sand Color are also always in stock.
This week, the special equipment vendor again offers a whole truckload of blueprints, including the individual parts of some equipment sets. Which blueprints this vendor has in The Division – these remain the same every week – you can check here.
Offer of the Dark Zone weapons vendor on April 30th
This vendor only offers his goods in exchange for Dark Zone currency. To be able to buy these, you must have reached certain DZ ranks. Apparently, light machine guns are in trend this week, and this vendor has one as well. His offer of blueprints changes, at least partially, every week.
High-End Weapons:
RPK-74 M – Military Version (Light Machine Gun): 18125 DZW – Value 163 (Rank 25) (Talents: Malicious, Challenging, Capable)
M60 E 3 – Black Market Version (Light Machine Gun): 261422 – Value 204 (Rank 75)
The following blueprints all have a value of 163 and are available starting from rank 25:
SOCOM Mk20 SSR (Sniper Rifle): 14619 DZW
ACR Tactic (Assault Rifle): 15815 DZW
AUG A3P Tactic (Submachine Gun): 13398 DZW
M60 E6 – Black Market Version (Light Machine Gun): 13258 DZW
M1911 Tactic (Pistol): 10957DZW
SASG-12 S – Black Market Version (Shotgun): 14667 DZW
We will no longer go into detail about the offer of the Dark Zone specialties vendor, our “Dark Xur”. Since the April update, he has had the Nomad knee pads and the Nomad gloves every week, with the blueprints for the Nomad knee pads and holsters. There are no weekly changes here.
Have fun shopping, agents!

After a long break, Dragon’s Prophet returns with a patch that fixes numerous bugs and brings new costumes.
The first of “many updates” for Dragon’s Prophet
Since the summer of last year, not much has happened in Dragon’s Prophet; nearly 9 months have passed without a proper update. The game has suffered some serious setbacks after being deemed not worthwhile in America – the American servers were shut down in November 2015.
For Europe, however, they have not thrown in the towel but are now returning with Patch 3.0.1592 “Spring Awakening”. While it does not contain any new content aside from two new costumes and settings options in the options menu, it has fixed numerous bugs. The most changes can be found in the numerous dungeons of the game:
In Mictlan’s Corridor, the rock bone dragon can no longer spontaneously kill players.
In Corzine, the gate of the coliseum now opens as planned after defeating the boss.
In Deyarkage Prison, fewer enemies must now be killed to complete the quest.
Moreover, raising dragons is now more pleasant, as random attributes of the flying creatures can no longer fall below 3 – or 3.50 for the special attribute.
According to gamigo, Spring Awakening is only the first of many updates that will come to European players in the coming months. So far, the focus has been on fixing bugs, but now they want to turn their attention to new content.

Eternal Crusade is leveling up and performing an engine upgrade. This is expected to significantly improve the performance of the shooter.
Eternal Crusade – The War Will Be Even More Beautiful
The Unreal Engine 4 will be upgraded to version 4.11. Since Eternal Crusade, the upcoming shooter MMO from the Warhammer universe, is based on this engine, fans can look forward to significant performance improvements. According to the developer blog on Steam, the new patch is expected to launch during the week of May 2, 2016. In addition to the engine upgrade, there will also be improved matchmaking that is expected to largely prevent unbalanced matches. Apart from that, the patch will come with a variety of balancing changes, bug fixes, and some “surprises” that they cannot discuss yet.
Orks in Waaaagh! is Serious Business
This video shows how “serious” it gets during the motion capture recordings used in Eternal Crusade. You can often see how the actors have to hold back their laughter. Definitely a very entertaining job (which leads to cool results in games).

Currently, Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade is still in early access on Steam and is currently more of a lobby shooter. Ultimately, the game is supposed to be an MMO. However, before that happens, the shooter elements need to function perfectly.
Blizzard has agreed to meet with the team behind the World of Warcraft Classic server Nostalrius.
The Will of the Fans Meets Blizzard
The story surrounding the private Classic server Nostalrius of World of Warcraft is taking more and more exciting turns. After Mark Kern addressed Blizzard in a video to present the petition for the creation of “legacy servers”, Blizzard has now responded.
On Nostalrius’ Facebook page, the team of the former server announced that “Blizzard is ready to host the Nostalrius team.” The Nostalrius team is quite excited and is looking forward to bringing the fans’ wishes to Blizzard.
Mark Kern has also spoken out on Twitter again, announcing that Blizzard has invited him to discussions. There are supposed to be “multiple meetings” where the former colleagues will discuss the whole topic.
Moreover, there is talk of an “announcement” that they want to make later this week – whether this already concerns concrete plans for legacy servers is still questionable at this time.
Mein-MMO says: It is remarkable how quickly this whole thing around Nostalrius has developed into such a big topic that Blizzard is willing to have discussions. Reactions on social media are significant, and the expectations of nostalgia fans are slowly reaching a boiling point. Meanwhile, the petition seems to have fully served its purpose. Blizzard has taken notice, and that alone is more than many other petitions have ever achieved. Whether any real actions will follow from the “discussions” – and whether they will meet the expectations of the fans – remains to be seen. It would be desirable.

In The Division, the problem of cheats and hacks seems to be so pronounced that even hackers are complaining about other hackers.
A reddit user made a surprising find in a forum for hackers: An agent complains that The Division is hardly playable due to the many hackers. The curious part: He openly admits that he also uses hacks.
Hacker vs. Hacker – The fraudsters are swarming in the Dark Zone
A self-proclaimed hacker expresses his annoyance that he hardly has any advantages in the Dark Zone anymore, as other hackers simply take him down. As the user says, the PvP area of The Division is now nearly impossible to play, even if one uses cheats and hacks themselves.
Recently, he ran through the Dark Zone for about two hours and encountered several “10-year-olds” who were all using aim-bots and RPM-hacks. With his complaint, the user now wants to ask the other agents what their opinions are on “player-aimbots,” which every agent can currently access for free.
While one comment endorses the free hack methods – after all, this gives all agents the same chances to cheat – most other agents see this as a disgrace for the cheat and hack protection measures from Massive. Especially on the PC version, nearly only hackers are competing against hackers; the decent agents have no chance anymore in the Dark Zone.
With their statements in the last “State of the Game,” community developers Hamish Bode and Yannick Banchereau want to calm the heated tempers of the agents: They are optimistic that the problems will be solved in the future. Also, the cheat and hack protection measures are continuously being improved. However, all of this still takes time, and they ask for patience.
At The Division, spontaneous maintenance work is taking place this afternoon on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
As Massive just announced via Twitter, the servers will be taken offline on April 29th. Maintenance work is underway.
The servers will be offline starting at 4:30 PM. The estimated downtime is 30 minutes. If everything goes as planned, agents can re-enter the post-apocalyptic New York right on time for the evening at 5 PM.

As part of this maintenance, an issue will be resolved that unexpectedly occurred yesterday after the fix: “The Death Ladder”, as this bug is referred to by Massive themselves.
The bug caused agents who stayed too long near certain ladders to be suddenly killed. The problem will be fixed this afternoon.

Our step-by-step guide on how to level up quickly and efficiently in the new Season 6 of Diablo 3.
Especially in the early phase of Diablo 3, it is crucial how quickly you reach the maximum level, as there are few other players around to “boost” you at that time. There are, however, several points to consider to make leveling faster in Season 6.
How to level up particularly fast in Diablo 3 from Patch 2.4.1
Start the game on the difficulty “Hard” and first do the Act with the bonus Bounty to quickly get your first skills and some gear.
After you’ve retrieved your loot from the bonus cube, craft Cain’s or Born’s set to gain extra experience points.
Up to Level 20, you should do Solo Rifts on the “Hard” difficulty.
Once you reach Level 20, it is advisable to kill Leoric to obtain his Crown as loot. You should then socket it with a Ruby – this will greatly increase your experience points. The new, stronger massacre bonus also works well with a Ruby in your helm – and it is worth it!
From Level 20 to 42, continue with solo rifts on “Hard” – if that becomes too boring, you can alternatively farm bonus acts or select specific quests that are likely to give you a massacre bonus to gain experience quickly.
Once you reach Level 42, you should craft a 1-handed weapon for Level 60 that has a level requirement reduction of 18 levels. Then you can probably raise the difficulty and still do well in solo rifts. However, keep in mind that you should play time-efficient: just because you can do a solo rift on torment 1 doesn’t mean you would get less experience on “Hard” in that time. Even if you have items with reduced level requirements, solo rifts on “Hard” can still be the most effective.
Once you reach Level 61 and have obtained Death’s Breath, you should craft a 2-handed weapon. It should ideally be a level 70 weapon with reduced level requirements.
From here, continue leveling in solo rifts on “Hard” or at a higher difficulty if you have very good gear, until you reach Level 70. If rifts become too monotonous, you can also farm massacre bonuses in the Halls of Agony.
Tips and Tricks for Speed Leveling in Diablo 3 for Season 6
As soon as you start the game and begin your season, you should steal the weapon from your companion and equip it yourself.
Crafting low-level legendary items now requires the same crafting materials as crafting rare items, just more of them. So you don’t need any extra ingredients.
You should buy rings (level 7) and amulets (level 11) with min-max damage, as these scale well in the early levels and provide you with a lot of extra damage.
When you are around level 20, you’ve probably already found some gems as loot. Socket Rubies in helmets and weapons. Diamonds in armor and jewelry.
Also, keep all legendary items you find on your leveling path. In Kanai’s Cube, low-level items are just as good as max-level items.
Definitely do not throw away a Bovine Bardiche or a Puzzle Ring, as these items grant you access to special zones that you should ideally enter with friends at level 70. Alternatively: You can also use the Bovine Bardiche while leveling, as there are a lot of enemies in the zone that can provide you with massacre bonuses.
How you can quickly get your first set for level 70 with your character is detailed in our article about the guaranteed sets in Diablo 3 in Season 6. If you then need the right companion for your adventures, you’ll surely find something in our Diablo Pet Guide for Patch 2.4.1.
