Game it's slow at start, quite a grind sometimes, but once you get yourself some equipment things are getting easier. It's quite fun when you can progress and see your gainings, have fun there that's all that matters

Whats the best leveling strat? Just whistle catacombs?

Probably running in a group if there are any up, haven't seen more than 5 players since I've joined but as I've heard things are better on SC.
I usually explore until 71 then I whistle until 77, on higher classes MQ unlocks at higher levels.

You need enhanced effect on weapon and armor, str or dex for charm as you went barb guess you only need strength. You can fight just with what you find from mobs as I did first two runs to 71.

Ignore this guy, most of the community is not like this

SC market is way better and is way more new person friendly. You can easily find several hundred fg worth of just skillables most explore climbs and if you get lucky and find something amazing it will be worth much more on SC.

This right here. Theres tons of fg to be made, letting you upgrade gear naturally. Hc on the other hand you will have to source basically all fg from elsewhere.

What does Skillables mean?

Mostly higher tier Magical+ items which people use for Transmuting - even with no good rolls you can sell most high level items for some fg. For instance a Magical lvl 55 item sells for ~33-35fg and goes up from there for Rare+, but even lower level items can sell for 1fg or more as people use them for training. Below is a post where someone has tracked what they've been able to sell mutables for.

Normal/white items of high level can also sell for a good chunk, you can check the MP for these items to see what similar items are currently being sold for - a lvl 55 white can go for as much as 200fg. Those are used for dropping in Wells.

There are also items which are use for Glyphing but I don't think there's as much of a market and idk what the desirable mods are for those types of items

You and me both, plus others.

The FG is more abundant in SC because of what I stated in my post... they re-use old gear even in Resets, thus build up their collection and selling off items that are harder to find at a profit or loss, depending on that individual selling. Thus there are more demands in SC due to player base.

It is simple, and changes made in the past has kept this the only way for profit, yet the profit benefit the older players unless new players hit pay dirt finding an item of great value.

There are players that DO sell items off cheap, both cores... I am one of them for HC, there are others that want their worth in FG for items... and so they should.

Ignore me or not, but my comments have been valid.
