If you do this after it is magic or rare, it will cost more Blacksmith's Whetstones. Use 4x Blacksmith's Whetstones on the white base (bow) to rais its quality to 20%. If you do not have an alc, you can use an Orb of Transmutation to make it blue, or an Orb of Chance for a magic, rare or even a very small chance of a unique. Buy a white rustic sash from the vendor and use an Orb of Alchemy (alc) on it (right-click orb, left-click sash). If you did not find a rare (yellow) rustic sash, you can make one. > 5 x Blacksmith's Whetstones (or 1 if that is all you have) You probably only need 1 green socket which pretty much every bow will have. Just buy the best bow the vendor in your current Act has. Fortunately, there is an easy way to craft it in-game with everything you need dropping commonly. As you progress the amount of elemental damage mobs do is going to be calibrated for 75% resistance and you will die, a lot, if you don’t have them capped.Ī decent bow with some physical damage is needed for this guide. You will be fine with resistances <75% in early acts but don’t let the early Acts lead you to think resistances are not essential. Rings, amulet and belt are a good place to find resistances since they do not have linked sockets, they are easy to swap out when you find an upgrade. Look for gear to get all three of these to as close to 75% as you can. Shoot, move, don’t let the mobs chew your face off.Īlso, equality critical, cap your fire, cold and lightning resistances. Some skilled players can manually dodge attacks but even if you cannot, just moving will allow you to avoid a huge amount of incoming damage. The best way you can avoid getting hit is simply to be moving. While PoE has mechanical defenses like block and evasion, armor etc the best thing that will keep you alive is to not get hit. For gear, get as much life as you can and make sure your resistances are capped form here on out. Keep leveling your gems, add more life, defenses and damage on the skill tree. Socket: Immortal Call (R) (mapped to left mouse button) Links: Blasphemy (B) - Poacher's Mark (G) It will trigger automatically when you move now! Important: Bind your move button (usually left click) to Immortal Call (R). See the section Character Development Act 4+ for some ideas.Ĭheck your resistances and ensure they are capped (75%) from here on out. What ascendancy should you pick? It is really up to you. The first lab is level 33 and your first time doing it you probably want to be overleveled 40+. The Lord's Labyrinth: During Act 4 you should consider doing the first part of The Lord's Labyrinth (lab) and pick your ascendancy. Skill tree: After, Phase Acrobatics your base tree is complete. Upgrade other gear with better life and resistance. Keep an eye out for quiver upgrades as well. Gear: From here on out, I would recommend upgrading your bow every 1 or 2 Acts. Links: Shrapnel/Siege Ballista (G) - Added Cold Damage Support (G) + Vicious Projectiles Support (G) Faster Attacks (G) Links: Scourge Arrow (G) - Mirage Archer (G) - Added Cold Damage (G) + Infused channeling (B) Skill Tree: From last Dex node -> Herbalism. Quest rewards: Poacher's Mark, Scourge Arrow, Second wind, Infused channeling Socketed: Herald of Ice (this skill toggles, so make sure you toggle it on when out of town) Links: Shrapnel/Siege Ballista (G) + Added Cold Damage Support (G) + Faster Attacks (G) Links: Main Skill (G) + Mirage Archer (G) + Added Cold Damage (G) + Vicious Projectiles Support (if you have 4 links) From Projectile Damage -> Survivalist -> down 1 Dexterity node. Skill Tree: Aspect of the Eagle -> upper branch for the 2 Bow Attack Speed+Accuracy nodes -> Projectile Damage -> Aspect of the Lynx. Gear: Craft a bow (see crafting section), any equipment with life and resistances (upgrade as you find it). Quest Rewards: Herald of Ice, Vicious Projectiles. If you regret your choice later you can change but it does cost (20 regret orbs). Option #1 makes life a little easier, so if you are brand new to PoE, maybe that is best for you - your choice. Most build guides will recommend this option.Īs long as you pick one of these 2 you will be fine. This might not sound like much but it is pretty huge late-game. If you are planning on a crit build later, this is even better. For a new player or first character in a league, this is a really nice option. This will give you a bit of mana regen, decent added global critical strike multiplier and +15% to all Elemental Resistances. This quest has a choice that will impact your build There are 4 outcomes and for 99% of players, there are only 2 good choices.
