I rushed a palyer and he did not get any xp from my kills. All requirements filled, ofc. He only got xp from his own kills . WTF? Tried cows, etc, nothing.

The things can feel hard at first but when you get to know with mechanics used with challenges and ubers then you can beat it even without good gear.

For your bowazon before trying Level Challenge One, I recommend using Act 5 mercenary (available after helping barbs from quest) with some basic runewords for him or even tiered uniques if you found any on your way. Get some non req magic or rare amulet/rings you had from first act and add mystic orbs with flat damage reduce, so multihitting will be no harm. With that you should be fine there, just let barb clean and spam projectiles from behind his back.

Welcome.

Alright I'll try to farm and get some arcane crystals so I can start making some tiered uniques and stuff before I try this again. When you say flat damage reduction, you mean stuff that says "Damage taken reduced by 30" instead of "Damage taken reduced by 30%" right? I'm guessing that's because of one of the mechanics you were talking about? Is there any good material I can read to get a better understanding of this quest and the strategies involved? I've tried searching youtube videos, but Median XL videos seem to be rare and out of date.

Yes, Gheed and other NPC's are selling mystic orb with Damage Reduced by 6 so on each jewelry piece you can stack up to 30 from mystic orbs (only x5 same mystic orbs type can be applied on same item), if item had affix with that stat already then you can go higher.

By mechanics I meant in general AI and skills enemies are using and available improvements which mod are offering for your gear.

Here you got all necessary informations to finish LC1

That was the reason.

Btw, terror ancients req is 40, hatred 25

so, for rushing, there is no point to be under lvl at terror 40 - you practically do not get xp from the party, tcows help.

Alright and one more thing. I recently got a Flowerspring (Stag Bow) and upgraded it to tier 3. However, the stats on the item are tier 1 not tier 3. It has the 3 next to the name to indicate it is indeed tier 3, and even has the 168 Dexterity requirement. But it still has 15% chance to cast level 6 Death Blossom and all the other stats that come with tier 1. What did I do wrong?

Add a Rune to the recipe. AC-only just uptiers the base item. AC+Rune uptiers the stats, too.

you can . with the rare downlevel recipe . just that the stats on the items will not be so godly due to the low ilvl . however you can't use it for rolling jewels , rings or amulets .
