Thanks :)
I have some maps with extra EPs on them but they are lvl 0 so I guess it's worth using them up to a lvl 20, am I correct?

Depends on the Tier... Patched (TierI) = level 15 cap... so no reward... Rawhide (TierII) = level 20 cap... the only drops you will get from 20 cap is maybe a TierV... if lucky TierVI encountering an EP.

It is up to you though, if you want to improve your lower Tier items, you may want to do those maps... if so, then your character level should be 1 level below cap and clear 1 map... you will find that you will reach cap level with ease by the time you complete that map for the treasure chest at the end.

Damn... I may have to go and check the tables again.

EDIT: Nope, I am correct, the table is in my Profile for maps and level cap.

ML is completely un-necessary.
I would rather be down 1 trap door than not be down a trap door but using say a 10 ML armour/charm/weapon (whichever is least important to the build)


Also the speed at which you do 1-MQ is also compromised.
I've had 3-4 "sexy" drops this season. only one was found with any ML equipped (47 dex robe lvl 55), which was being down 1 TD from EP's using a grand total of 3 magic luck.


Be fast, use wells, fight EP's certainly consider trying some TD's especially at 55-65 (consider restarting to have no TD penalty if it gets slow at around 65).
Obviously you'll need to find the TD's, but they're reasonably common.
had 3x 90ee drops from the well today. Had a few "potentials" from some EP's too.

From my own playing, i found mage the most suitable to my playstyle. Obviously a warlock would be preferable for me, but i'm not that lucky/persistant to get one.
I probably should consider ML whilst welling, but given how i'm playing, I dont feel it's suits me.


You're telling me you'd rather have 0 ML even if the piece of equipment you're equipping doesn't sacrifice any stats? I'm curious :P

EDIT:

Also I've found some sexys in my time with ML, I don't always post them truth be told. I do however agree with you that climbing continuously and climb speed is heavily important. I will be honest that I spent about 4 months only playing at lvls 55-69 trying to figure out if a continuous grind at the same level, killing oneself over and over would yield great results (it did not!). I've had far better luck climbing...

The other thing I want to point out, welling solo vs welling with people ingame (I'd rather well with atleast 1 person ingame).

Speaking on just the map question. I don’t use the junk maps soloing. The reasons for this are easy.while map hunting/exploring:

1-25 looking for decent maps in small mazes.
25-31 EP lvl 5 map (seem to find a lot of these 1-25)
31+ explore unless I’ve gotten lucky with a lvl 10-20 map recently with good mods.

Once the XP runs out it’s pointless to continue unless close to finish or realllly nice ep/chest combo since XP drops so drastically.

The only time i use maps outside my xp range will be when using a +well map.

Overspawns are impossible without magic luck.
Magic luck should theoretically help all drops.
Super items rarely drop, just a handful a year.

I wouldn’t consider running a crap map under level 20. But above level 25 I may consider it if I am with in the level range to still get XP

Magic luck is good. More magic luck = more luck. More luck = more magic. You get more lucky magic so you should try to get it if you can without sacrificing too much. Sooner or later your luck will be magic.
