Forum Gold only comes from selling items on Marketplace or you use real dollars to purchase.

Mage is the worst possible class to start off with if you're brand new to this game. Play a fighter, barbarian or rogue instead, and buy clubs with EE since they're the cheapest.

Agree.
You should starr a melee char.
If you need help pm me :hug:

This.

I strongly recommend making another character (barbarian) put a few stats in vitality, then the majority in strength. I forgot to mention. KEEP your magician or whatever other characters you have. You can keep them as mules to store your items, especially if you plan on sticking around long term

Try to find/purchase enhanced effect armors (leather or better) enhanced effect weapons (clubs are cheapest) and strength charms.

If you can join a group of people you will level up quicker and easier.

Try to sell as many lvl 3 and higher items you can find until you get more fg to buy better items. You can also message me for more help.

I started with nothing like you and have only profited from this game. It takes a lot of time, a little frustrating at times, but if you stick to it it is a very fun game you can enjoy even on your phone (if you are careful).

Buf was such an awesome dude. Sad what happened to him. Gold is kinda hard to come by try this guide:

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=53755574&f=272

It's how I got started. Also if you wanna play sometime hit me up. I usually solo and I'm on a mobile so I'm slow especially when typing but we can kick it if you want.

RIP BUF

You can either re roll your character and start at level 1 again.

As for charms, use the ones that you have available with EE, if you are planning on buying them, people prefer Ice because it has the best constant damage, i.e. Average dmg.
Also, just look for charms with the best ee at a low fg rate.


This is false... all charms are even as far as average damage is concerned. Over a large enough time span all charms of the same tier and equal ee+prof will have the exact same average. The only thing that changes based on element is the consistency of the hits.

The only thing to keep in mind when choosing your element is that there is only 1 immune mob per charm type except fire which has two. So as a new player maybe stay away from fires? Otherwise the highest ee charm at the target level will be your most viable option.

You should have read it properly:

Notice: Constant Avg damage (reworded)

the word you are looking for is consistent
consistent


Both words suffice, but, I do prefer your wording.

Both wordings can convey the same meaning but the way you initially put it was incorrect...

Average damage on all charms is the same and as long as they are the same ee with the same applied int/prof, each element will have roughly the same average though the min/max will vary.

Constant damage has everything to do with clicking activity. You will do constant damage as long as you click regardless of all other factors besides mana running out.


Consistency is the only truly correct description :P Although you could replace "constant damage" with "focused range of damage" and that would be correct as well :)

All true, that is why I used ... i.e. Average Damage.
I am not going to stop drinking to keep the wording correct for you lot... :rofl:

Damn... off to work soon and still half drunk from drinking all night... gl and hf with drops.
