And your reasons why? Thanks!

Not sure how many people even actually do this, but thought I’d give it a try.

(I’m talking about dying at a certain level so you can keep solo mazing without leveling up.)

I have been wondering this too. Are you doing it with magic luck gear. I was trying to figure out if climbing with ml gear on was better or just swapping it on when you hit an EP.

I don’t really have any decent ML gear, but I’ll probably swap a charm for EPs!

I've never been a fan of "swapping" I think you're better off just straight wearing 1 piece of ML the entire time over swapping.... also other levels people tend to like are 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, and 65. I wouldn't recommend going past say 65 for death farming, but that's just me.

I wear an ML charm up to 45 which is this

Rare lightning I
Spell Damage: 1 to 10
Mana Cost: 5

+276 Max Mana
+11 Magic Luck

and then my death farm setup at 59 is

Mythical wild heal XII
Level Req: 45
Heals: 12 to 126
Mana Cost: 93

+26 Strength
+24 Vitality
+9 Magic Luck
+1 Critical Strike
+3% Mana Skin

Arcane chitin scale armor
Level Req: 35
Physical Defense: 15 to 62
Magical Defense: 10 to 31

+31 Strength
+459 Max Mana
+9 Magic Luck
+9 Life Regen
+1 to 11 Life per Attack
+5% Parry

and then a sword with no ML, I'd love to someday buy one with 5 ML.

I tend to like to be over 10 ML at all times when death farming.

Since the rewrite, 59 is the new 64 because drops got improved 5 levels early ;)

I'd recommend 54 for group play with 3+ players in game if you have a crew, or 59 for solo. I've also had some really good finds at 59, like . I used to have the most deaths, but Jowly is way past me now. even gonna pass me soon. :o

Oh, and I also don't recommend swapping gear. it's better to wear very little ML than to swap IMO because you lose the "hit counter" when you swap gear. That's not to say good drops can't happen if you swap, but you'll change the nature of the drops and usually not for the better.

I totally forgot about the 5 lvl change lolol Id still disagree for the last part, I have had FANTASTIC results swapping to high ML and last hitting the EP with 3x ML.
