-% enemy resist won't let you break immunities
+ energy factor/+ spell damage/+ buff-debuff-cold duration will affect your elemental spell/buff/debuff procs like if you cast it by yourself
You must worry about reaching levels 5, 50, 80 and 90 to complete level-limited challenges (see docs for more imfo)
The best and cheapest way to get gold is not just sell sacred rare items on late game, but sell throwing weapons with runes socketed inside (runes drops very often so no need to keep all of them)
Fastest ways to level cchallenge 0 is (all chars tested with different ways and so confirmed that ways listed below are fastest):
- Thundercrack + Magic missles for Amazon
- Batstrike + Scorpion blade for Assassin
- Graveyard + Buckshot for Necro
- Lion stance + Earthquake for Barb
- Vessel of Retribution + Solar Flare for Paladin
- Immersion with full energy and low on current mana for Sorc
- Laughing ghost + Poison flash for Druid
Won't hurt buying 1 or 2 weapon-only Mystic orbs +10 maximum damage from start for WDM based char
For Keep some socketed items and make early runewords in them for first equips
Btw farming Griswold on Hatred will give you 2-3 starting uniqs up to 2 tier

Transmute a rune in the cube to create the previous tier; for example: a Ral rune will become a Tal rune.

seriously though, I don't think a thread like this will work, it's kinda been tried before.
noobs don't read, especially not randomly.

here's a tip:
read the documentation :mrgreen:

How can I get Graveyard at level 5? Hope I won't have to collect robobrains anymore to unlock my BRC skill.

@Quirinus I disagree. It could be like the fact of the day, and someone can pop in for a few seconds, read it, and go about their merry life that much more median savvy.

Too bad thread is already gone after only 30 minutes.

+1 to this .

does who want info are either reading the docs or asking in the short questions thread/shoutbox/create a new post .

i strongly doubt that they will search trough all 300+ pages in the short questions thread to find out what they need , even if their question was probably answered 20 times in that topic . the same as i doubt that they will give much importance to this thread and read pages they accidentaly skipped . i've been here since 2007 and i know those topics will fade in a few days . No offence intended , Heathen

if you could gather all the usefull info and put it all inside a single huge post maby it will get to be a "sticky" and everybody will read it


my 2 cents

Always reroll for the first variant of K3K (where you proceed through the entrance to the top of the K3K map)
Melee barb can deliver direct attack on titan ( :lol: ) (razor fur or something with reflect aura) with bearstance even with low hp
If you encounter a boss with invulnerability aura for its minions, lure everything
And the most important tip: Don't play Median cuz sometimes you are f*ck really badly

Noobs won't read this thread, but gathering the best tips and putting them into a picture will work.

Early alpha draft:
1. Defense is much more important than you think, running renders your defense useless, so walk!
2. Not every built can do every uber...
3. Mystic Orbs from Vendors will make your life much easier, combined with the honorific recipe they take care of all your needs in the early game.
4. With lvl 5 cube the median statue you got in the beginning once, then put it in your inventory, you now have a new skill, chose it and summon Volrath to do the lvl 1 challenge
5. -enemy res can't break immunities, generally it is more worthwhile to get -99 to enemy res than +600% to elemental spell damage
11. Avoid the Mausoleum at the Graveyard, generally avoid uber areas until you can do them.
12. Except for the Twin Seas in the Halls of the Dead and Tran Athula which is right next to the entrance in the Twin Seas. You must do this with lvl 50 or lower, do not forget this!
13. Ennead challenge and lc2...
20. Baal has a heroric shield, he is meant to be extremely hard.

So keep em tips coming and someone gather that shit.
