Hello guys,
I've play LS some times in the past doing 4-5 MQ with a fighter char, nothing more.

There are many things that I would like to understand about this game, is there a full guide with some details about equipments, investments, glyphing etc. etc. because I'm totally noob about that.
If not, can someone explain me what is the best equipment to get to start, what kind of items should I buy, what make an items worth 10K fgs and what 1...etc. etc.

Also, what's the best way to find nice items, so help me

Wait ur doing MQs and aren't selling ur gps at least or in a guild?

Yes I'm joining in a Guild already, the links sound cool, thank you my friend!

Well every gp you get I pay 25fg for.
Other guilds also pay i believe.
I honestly don't delve too far Into that cuz im not desperate for gps.
I just offer payment to give newer players a light at the end of the tunnel or a chance to build up.
Some might pay more than me idk

basically get to 59 and dont let yourself level up, die until ur not close to leveling and continue exploring. theres a few different methods people use... but generally farming at 59 and killing mobs as fast as possible = more drops. any item in the game can drop in catacombs at level 59... so just tons of kills/time and youll get drops! mq's can be done with 20fg, however id aim more towards 1-2k.. playing a fighter with a decent wep (axe preferably) a decent 120+ EE scale and a 40ish stat charm.

there is tons of guides floating around and people are generally willing to help.. if you have questions feel free to message me. i dont play softcore but i can give advice.

How many people play regularly these days? I thought the game was almost dead, except for a small group of veterans.

alot play, however not many groups. you can find a group during the day. but most people solo/duo

Okay... you seem like an SC player from checking your username: https://forums.d2jsp.org/user.php?c=3&i=385794

You still have characters and items available, not sure if you have a vault with items as well, however, you have a good starting place and able to enjoy the game mechanics

You can see # of players online in the portal: https://ladderslasher.d2jsp.org/

It was said the game was almost dying around 2014-2016, but actually it’s been more and more active since then. Prices for the same gear has increased steadily every year as well.

Depends what your goal is, if your goal is to reset a season you'll almost certainly want to group climb rather than solo

Some general info for group climbs here:

https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=82759999&f=74

A solo with very good gear takes around 2.5 hours as a minimum and usually closer to 4 hours. A lot of players take over 6 hours and often not done in 1 sitting

most group climbs on softcore are generally done in an hour or less, so can often do 4 of these in the same or less time than the solo would have taken.
For this you'll need either
Swords + staffs + axes with strength robes and dex robes and both strength and dex charms
Or daggers + axes with dex robes and charms

Will also need int staffs and int robes and a damage charm set and a heal charm set.

That's a lot of gear but there is a lot of classes to get through.



If your goal is to make fg, soloing is significantly better and the guide given in post 2 is pretty reasonable

For this generally most people either use a mage or barbarian, the guide posted recommends a barb

For barb you'll usually want a club set as you get a lot more damage per fg spent with strength charms and either ee armors or strength armors

For a mage an int daggers, int robes and damage charm Set and heal charm set
