Guides

  1. Compare items in your inventory to what you’re wearing to determine upgrades, and enable advanced tooltips for more information.
  2. Gather Renown while exploring to gain long-term benefits for your account, including more Skill/Paragon points and Potion charges. Renown can be gained by activating Waypoints, finding Altars of Lilith, completing Side Quests/Dungeons, and rescuing Strongholds.
  3. Avoid imprinting your weapon with a Legendary Aspect, as weapons get replaced frequently while leveling up. Instead, put your best offensive Aspect on your Amulet, which can be used for a long time.
  4. Farm materials to upgrade your character’s potion, and collect all materials as you explore Sanctuary, especially Gallowvine, which is used in many recipes.
