Plans today canceled, so i decided play some ladder slasher, man times go quick playnig this game.

I now have set up a few mules that will carry all items i find that i thight could either possibly be sold ( legendary and above), or my old items i used (as i hear levels reset at some point?)

Ive pushed up te level 46, probably higher as you read this, and i know someone mentioned death farming at 55, why is that a thing and should i be doing that?

I've learned one of the meaning behind the wells that spawn in maps that i can drop white items on them and summon a boss, so killed my first boss about 20 minutes ago, big and nasty dude.
- A follow up question to wells is should i always carry a few items i can dump into wells? or should i be selling those white items on market instead?

Also is there some extra bonus for finishing a full map? as maps hav gotten a fair bit larger since early on xD

Edit: is it also common to start to have tos it in shrine to wati for healing?
Havent replaced my gear in a while, as i havent found anything better or upgrades that cheap enough on the market

its addicting for sure, solo is a good way to learn the game and grind
whites sell for good fg its the best way to earn fg as new player
death farming is for those who like to kill level 55 mobs for drops (whites and other gear)
finishing a full map gets you a treasure chest--my thoughts are its never that great but why not get it
yes, high levels most of us have to shrine between mobs, life regen gear is useful or just carry shrines ( vault or use mp for storage)
check market or make a topic for cheap gear

if you die and keep killing mosters at level 55-63 or whatever they do, they dont get harder
mosters at 65-85 get real hard to kill and drops dont get better
if you keep leveling you do the masterquest and can get guild points and unlock the next class if you pass

If you stop at 55 and death farm then you’ll always have a chance of finding higher tier items that are worth fg. If you go to 71 and MQ, you’re going to end up back at level one and you’ll have to grind back up to a higher level where finding higher tier items is a possibility again.

I’d suggest going to level 71 just so you can play the game the “right way” on your first run through. Also, you lose proficiency experience every time you die, so if you start death farming you’ll never gain any proficiency ranks.


Magical encrested leather armor
Level Req: 50
Physical Defense: 37 to 113
Magical Defense: 23 to 92

+77% Enhanced Effect

If you want this you can have it for 1 fg. It will help you out a good bit.

also if i do the mastery quest and end back up at level 1, do i keep my masteries?

Also do they keep when the entire ladder reset? i know items keep.

I figured if mastery resets upon doing the master quest or whatever its called..
I could just make a second character that does it, and let this first one death camp at 55.

yes you keep your masteries (prof) and items when reset happens.

I would suggest grinding to 71 and attempting MQ as well, that's part of the fun of it.

you can then either whistle back up or do catas for chances to find maps (don't go out your way though to finish catas, bad spins and few rooms = waste of time to complete them imo) searching new ones for EPs = better

just make sure you're selling the higher level items you find (level 30+ are always worth 1fg+ and they add up quickly over time, use the mutable item guide someone has posted for idea on item values)

i found the mutable item guide indeed.

so if masteries stay theres really no reason to make a secondary characther is there? I should just play the one char to get them masteries up.

I dont quite follow you here, not sure what this mean is this once i start the MQ? also are maps better than catas? And why wouldn't i finish catas, what else is there to do? killing mobs is killing mobs?

also do hp regen work while offline, trynig to figure out if there is any benefit to pushing with 2 characters switching back and forth.

correct, just stick to using one with the rest just being mules for gear/whites/sellables

you can 'whistle' to just kill mobs and not explore, it's faster than traveling through catas but you dont have chances to hit EP's/Chests/etc.. some reason you should not try to finish catas that are bad mazes and have a ton of going over already explored areas = waste of time vs exploring new cata with unexplored area.

i dont think regen works while not on a char so no, dont do that
