Hold the Gold!
The better advice would be not to imprint anything until max level because you will constantly be upgrading until then when it finally slows down.
Hogold!
you're not my real dad
@@Basada79 you definitely want to imprint some things if you have a trash low roll because you will not be using that, especially if it's something on a ring/ammy (because those matter the least about upgrading) ESPECIALLY if it's a strong legendary power in general for leveling i.e. pulv leggo etc. Also, at 25 i farmed over 1.5 mil gold in like 3 hours. it's not that hard to get gold, although ideally you don't want to spend more than you have to.
dunno i had 10kk in the last 2 Betas while full upgraded gear ... Inprinting cost almsot nothing compared to the selling price of trash items to the NPC. I Agree on what you say but there are some aspect that are worth the "fee" :D
So long story short: Don't imprint your main weapon while leveling because it cost resources and you will get more powerful weapons as you level up.
👍🏻
Could have been 2 min video lol
don't imprint your MAIN weapon - gotta watch the whole thing
@@lexwaldez I honestly don't care. If I am level 20 and figure out I can afford and want to imprint my main weapon, I will do it. It's not like I can't recover from it. Game not even out yet and people act like if we are travelling to an astroid to mine it for resources.
Tbf "don't spend resources early" is a pretty universal leveling practice
You know its gonna be good when it starts with "Paint" in the background!!
Facts lol
Gotta love raxx and his effective use of visual aids
Man I am so keen for D4, I haven't been this hyped in ages.
Same, are you ready to be dissapointed with me 🥲🥲
Be hyped but never forget OW2. Different Game, different Team but same Company. Dont say it will happen but dont be surprised if it does.
@@galencox1531 I'm very hyped cause I know I can play this game for hundreds of hours as it is right now
@@galencox1531 Very different situation though. People outside of Blizz have seen and played everything (except the whole campaign) in D4 and the release date is right around the corner, it's way too far along for any major pivots now. With the OW2 content that got scrapped, it was just words, a short trailer and a brief tech demo video. No-one outside of Blizz had played it, there was never any release date for it and it was already something that was known to be put on hold. Definitely a very shitty situation but it's very different to where we are at with D4.
I'm hyped but I have this dark feeling about all the shop stuff
Would love to see a video on other mistakes/pitfalls to avoid while leveling.
@raxxanterax do you think the best lego aspects to throw on two hander & amulet vs. contrasting to duel aspects on main & offhand & amulet specifically for the Sorc could be beneficial? I'd find value in the min/max best aspect combos depending on running 2-handers vs. main & off hand.
Thanks for keeping up to date with information!
Can't wait to see this man's sorc guide. I used the firewall build in slam & loved it.
It was great! 🔥 So fun
I loved chain lightning + crackling energies myself, but I'm seriously considering a melee charged bolts crackling energy stun oriented build around the bolts and arc lash enchantments for serious extra lightning aoe output and CDR through stuns. I think it should play out pretty juicy and looks like it should have a ton of dmg with great survivability between all the DR and stuns.
I can't wait to play ice with chain lightning even though CL got nerfed. I saw some builds from server slam with blizzard, frost nova, and chain lightning and they looked so fun and it was still destroying entire screens on T2
Interesting. Personally it was my least favorite playstyle. Firewalls always feel awkward and clunky to use to me
I make Pyromancer builds in every rpg, and I theory crafted a Pyro for D4 on a build website. Took me 2 hours to finish the Paragon board, making sure I read everything possible, and let me tell you, the devs who made the combat, gear and abilities are top tier. The amount of synergy that's for the Pyro is amazing (mine is built for HC) and they did a great job.
It wasn't too overly complicated, but just enough to make it worthy of paying close attention to, and very fun. The hardest part was figuring out the best way to use your glyphs to get the bonuses without spending too much Paragon points, and to my shock and suprise, the Pyro build turned out perfect, all 220 points were used on stats I needed, almost as if the devs intended this build!🤩
So on the beta, when I put the power that increases my flurry damage and makes it 360 aoe, onto my 2H bow as a melee rogue, I was actually 5head without knowing it. Sweet 🙂
Great advice! I also recommend advising people not to upgrade their armor/weapons at the blacksmith while leveling. That also costs a ton in both gold and mats.
why would someone upgrade something that will be replaced in 30 minutes?
yes i can imagine. while beta testing it was fine to get a grip and feeling about it but i guess until you didnt finish campaign and doing the NM dungeon, its a waste of gold and mats as already said. so i will keep that in mind on 2. of june when i finally can progress my barb ^^
Gol is not as rare as you think
thats just wrong, making yourself strong early on to level fast is the best. Money is easy the more you progress.
@@mcmarkmarkson7115 He did Not say it is wrong Just for the item Part you are constanty switching while leveling. For most better say all this is their Main weapon.
Great insights! Thx Raxx!
Love yoir work mate, keep up the good work
Great video Raxx! Thank you very much!
I never thought about it that way, great find Raxx!
There's only a few aspects I've seen in A1 that are crucial to me to imprint anyways. That shield every 30s against elites being one of them.
thx for the tips ! Have a nice start !
keep going with the content, im subbed today!
I always love how you end your videos, Raxx. 😂 Comedic fade aways. Also, love the gold saving info. Thanks, sir! ❤
Thank you for explaining it in detail, bro. A few of the other content creators just tell you not to do this, but they don’t really explain the why in detail.
Loved this Raxx - well done
Very helpful advice. Thank you!
Hammering the content brother! Love it
I'm taking the approach that you'll want to imprint your affixes IF AND ONLY IF you don't have them at each capstone. You'll be reorganizing your resists and offensive stats around that time anyways so you'll be most efficiently using limited resources at those points.
If youre playing TB rogue then, does that mean you imprint it on your bow? I take it its the daggers/swords that does the dmg for melee rogues
This was so damn helpful! Thank you brother.
Wow, great information Thanks!!!!! So excited for the start of D4, hope to see you in game. Keep making your amazing videos. Help is always appreciated.
For leveling through the campaign, this makes sense. I definitely did make this mistake, but it hasn't hindered me that much. Going through helltide when it comes up now gets me a a good amount of gold or materials depending on whether I sell or salvage. Nightmare dungeons give a ton of stuff too. I'll be fine.
Thanks so much Raxx with all those videos!
You do great work Rax, thank you.
Incredibly helpful. I love these videos you’re putting out explaining stuff… heaven knows blizzard and Diablo devs have not been the best with explaining how the game works.
Thanks for the great advice! Really helpful. At the same time, it really didn't seem to hard to make gold though tbh.. just occasionally sell the trash items you find instead of giving them to the blacksmith.
I love to see Raxx tell us how wrong we are. Still remember his paragon leveling guide where he stares sternly and shakes his head to the idea of going back to town to salvage after every run 😂😂
town is lava!
this time around, he is very wrong...........imprinting doesn't cost a lot and its worth it for the power even if you have to upgrade every 5 levels. This video is a joke.
@@DeathstarsEG He's not saying do not ever imprint you dummy. Imprint on your amulet. What a 🤡
@Deathstars this is the correct answer. Atleast pre50
@@DeathstarsEG Agree. Not to mention we don't know the amount of data that's going to go live. All these pre release videos will be wrong on launch day. They only have the beta test server to go off of. Materials will be vastly more important than gold.
Would that work vica versa as well on a Rogue? Planning to go melee, so could I use my bow as a 'statstick' /lp holder?
Thanks for the tip! Any advice on when to salvage gear vs. selling for gold?
Looking forward to those maxroll guides buddy
Can I do this on druid offhand and just keep upgrading main hand? Or is it better to put it on something else and use 2h?
Thanks for the videos! I like just being told how to think so I don't have to spend the time doing it!
Reminds me of D3 seasonal leveling: you cube the weapon power because an at-level weapon is most important, but you can run level 15 versions of Bracers of the First Men or Crudest Boots til level 70.
Yeah, I always put on cain set and borne set at lvl 20 and kept them on until 70. You would always be tempted to replace them with giant green numbers at higher level .. but even if you got an extra 8% damage by replacing your shoulders ... you'd lose 20% xp. It was just never worth it, even if you lost a significant amount of toughness / power; it was never as much as doubling your xp gains.
A legendary power that gave you 400% damage was just a no brainer .. you were never going to take that off even at 70 until you found a higher level version of the same exact item. Like you mentioned, It's also why the decision for which legendary to use the deaths breaths from the challenge cache was important. Using it on a legendary power you got from an armor piece / jewelry was wrong, because you could gamble them easily enough from kadala at level 1 and just wear them until level cap. Using the cube for a weapon was much smarter, because the odds of using that weapon until 70 was an impossibility, as well as finding that power again as you leveled. Gambling from kadala was more costly, and the odds of getting your weapon was way higher with the cube recipe than the chances of getting what you wanted from an armor piece / jewelry.
It was just way more efficient to be able to use higher level weapons as you leveled up, and keep wearing low level sets / legendaries that gave you a huge power boost.
I hope the cube comes back, it has been in every game. They can change how it works fine but the cube is a part of being a Diablo game IMO.
@@wilhellandmagiocrity3642 no cube in Diablo 1.
@@schwibz Probably, I don't remember much of it to be honest I played it so long ago. Most of my memories of it are just the impressions I had playing it. i really hope they do a remaster of it like D2 so i can refresh.
New to Diablo, do offhand weapons damage not matter as much? Im going to play druid, so would i not also be replacing my totem (theoretically) every five levels as well as my main weapon?
Thanks for the advice Raxx.
Good info, thanks Raxx
so, if I have a dagger build rogue, this means my main dmg weps are the daggers. Should I in that cade imprint in the bow, as its dmg wont matter? Or should I inprint in Amu/gloves?
“I’m a rogue, I have a Mohawk” lmao I felt immediately called out. This guy knows his stuff down to the cosmetics I chose.
Both male and female plus all classes get the same dozen or so janky hair cuts..yeah it's mohawk for rogue. I'm going a silverish grey.
@@Shoop... Lmao I chose the blue-ish silver one
This was a great video, I learned something new today! I thought you only got the benefit of the weapon you were using. I plan on running a 2handed bleed barb build and didn't realize the other 3 weapon slots I can just put gear in there that compliments the build even though I will never use those weapons
I played only 5h last we... 1 question. Do I have to lvl doing the story quest or shell I lvl up doing dungeon? 2 to play the end game do I have to end the story once or 1 time with any char? Thxx
Thanks a lot for uploading this video 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video as always Raxx! I really appreciate your content, and I feel like I'm going to crush D4 with my barb!
On another note, I'd pay good gold to walk through a fancy museum of your artwork sir! *Chef kiss*
Youre amazing my man, love the videos
i actually went to school for education and your guides are really great for their detail and pacing. great organization as well. I think you have a real gift for this
With regards to offhand weapons so when do you actually switch it? Since it also affects the overall atk power stat? or that value doesn’t matter that much? let’s say I’m a double dagger rogue main, my offhand level 30 bow has +30 dex,close range damage etc. and then I got a level 50 legendary bow with garbage stats, obviously it has way more attack power and it would change the total attack power stat.. should I still keep using my level 30 bow or switch to the level 50
Bow?
I learned the lesson about main weap levelling over 40 years ago. But a timely reminder for those less fortunate. Thank you.
Thank you for this! Smart.
Very helpful! I would deffo be one to have made this mistake, especially since I didn’t really understand it all. Thanks mate👍👍
If i can spare the space, I pick up all the whites and blues I can for selling (but not immediately in the game). You get a lot of ores and leathers from enemies and ore veins in the open world anyway. Salvage the yellows since veiled crystals are used at the npcs a LOT and they give ore and leather too. A little extra gold allowance will allow a little imprinting luxury to help you level/farm faster.
I'd like to see some theory-crafting on when to salvage vs. sell. In the beta, I found myself salvaging almost everything because I didn't really engage any gold sinks.
Sell anything that costs > 2k gold, salvage anything below until you have enough materials, then just sell everything. Scale up as you go higher in level and items can sell for more gold.
If I needed the transmog I crushed the item otherwise I sold it.
idk if it will be the case on live but on beta legendaries that you wont use is a tremendous source of gold if you extract it's power, and sell the extracted legendary effect instead. So even though you won't be swimming in legendaries while leveling, at least know that when you get one you can't really benefit from, at least its a good chunk of gold.
Personally I think that salvaging at low levels will always be the answer, as their gold worth is gonna be so minor in comparison to higher level when you actually start needing the gold.
I have a feeling that salvaging a level 20 yellow staff gives the same amount of materials as salvaging a level 80 yellow staff. But the 20 staff is gonna be worth like 5k gold, and the 80 one might be worth 80k gold. So you're much better off salvaging items for as long as you don't feel like you currently need the gold. And then sell items at higher level.
I salvaged all items for transmog that were not legendaries.
@@UrsusObesus This is the way.
So if im a pure meele rogue I also should carry a bow/crossbow bc they count to my stats (including legendary effects) even tho I'm not using it in anyway?
daamn , best advice i've learnt so far.
amazing.
thanks for the video
Should you imprint at all while leveling or wait until a higher level to start imprinting?
Sweet. Thanks mate!
Do you put out these MS Paint artworks as wallpapers?
Do you have pointers on when to sell vs scrap gear for materials? Thanks!
I appreciate the heads up bro
Great video !
So as a rogue, if i do a attack with my daggers like (twisting blades) for example. The damage isn’t from the daggers? It’s from my bow ?
Keep it going m8, thx
Great advice thank you 🙏
This is huge raxx, thx buddy for sharing this with us!
Thanks for the great video. Again learned a lot and so I will, hopefully one less mistake.
Thanks for the tips Raxx, I won't be making that mistake, for sure!!
good stuff bro!
how much does it cost to imprint an aspect? i already forgot, but i don't remember it being that high.
Does imprinting twice on 1 handed weapons for rogue stack the bonus?
Dude you are so helpful and I have totally changed my mentality on how to approach the early game.
Early game is nothing. Don't even spend time comparing weapons. Just use whatever. Don't commit to a build until you reach endgame. That's actually where the game starts.
@@Pixelsoep "don't commit to a build until you reach endgame" >> I see where you're coming from, but the costs of respeccing will be steep at endgame. So I would slowly, over the course of the game, commit to the abilities that are my favorites and would cross my fingers that I find legendaries that fit my skills & playstyle. If you're a rogue and have loved using ranged attacks for 50 levels, it might not be wise to jump to a melee build just because you found a GG dagger. It might be better to level another Rogue that you'd specialize in melee in that case.
ima play barb and easily imprint my 2h hammer and amulet for the big leg. aspects while keeping my 2h sword for the bleed/thorns build nice, clean and fresh. ty bro!
This video was VERY helpful, especially for a noob like me! Thank you!
It was totally worth it imprinting on a main weapon when you hit 20/25 on the server slam/beta, but that don’t fly any longer 👍
Good explanation. Wondering if it would be worth it to instead wait completely until you're in the level 50-100 range to start imprinting, instead of starting it in earlier levels. Wonder how much harder the game would be without using imprints at all up to that point? Have you tested not imprinting at all vs imprinting early on? If so, was it possible to survive and not imprint at all until the higher level tiers/characters?
Great tips Raxx! One question: are class off-hand items like the Sorc Focus considered as weapon or armor items?
Weapon
Does the 2 times apply on one handed weapon same as two handed weapon, if so then it would give us chance for 2 imprints one on single handed and one on off hand?
@@XSolaraX1 no only one imprint per item. If you wanna change an aspect that you already imprinted, you can only override it. Not stack it. So choose wisely
@@juliushall8499 this would be one imprint per item, one on one handed weapon and one on off handed item. My question is does the 2 times damage apply to a single handed weapon as it does on a 2 handed weapon?
@@XSolaraX1 No. You only get the 2x imprint effect from 2H weapons. 1H weapons, I believe, are 1.5x (same as amulets).
Hi Rax, i think that in beta was option to inprint only 1 time extracted legendary power, right. But if you dont have legendary power in codex how you can inprint them every 5lvl's for example like you said in video?
You can only imprint multiple times on different items with a power from the codex unless you have multiple extracted aspects from legendaries you found since you can only use those once and can't extract from imprinted items. He's just saying if you were to find an upgrade and imprint every 5 or so levels (from either codex or an extracted power) that you would be using a lot of gold since you'll likely find upgrades along the way as you continue leveling that would increase your damage more than if you kept using the lower leveled legendary with the aspect you wanted. So then it would make sense to keep that aspect on one of the other items instead of your main weapon and you'd only have to imprint once while leveling.
Great info thank you
Didn't know that, very nice tip!
What better to do with stuff while leveling, gold or scrap it?
so if i am playing rogue with 2 main daggers. I just imprint on the bow then?
Do we know yet which stats of the necro do and do not apply to minions?
But if im playing melee rogue do i put it on the bow then ?
Good point I have seen that from the test play though it could be explained in 30sec
If I am a rogue and only use daggers or swords, does the bow do most of the damage? Should I replace daggers/swords or bow for more damage when levelling?
So, I can use leg asp into not my main weap as a barb and it will be Best choice? I imprinted to amulet
great video, thank you
You touched topic that I was thinking of for quite a while. Are Necros, Druids and Sorcs "behind" by default due to the fact they have less slots for legendary powers? In e.g you gave with Rouge there are 2 slots for extra lege powers on daggers when u using just bow. Barb and Rouge have adventage IMO
Question. As far as the barb, would it be ok to imprint on the main weapon and when you get a better main, just equip the old main to the second hand?
1 2h is bludgeon other is slashing
TLDR: wait with imprinting till end-level, or imprint your amulet
depending on the legendary effect, it might be smarter to imprint the amulet. since more dps > faster leveling > better gear
Not really what he was saying. He was saying don't imprint legendary powers on your main weapon because you'll be constantly finding better DPS weapons while leveling. Use imprints on well rolled stat stick gear because they will much more likely stay with your character for a lot longer than a weapon slot item
Yeah that’s not what he said at all. Said don’t imprint on main weapon.
But what if as a melee (flurry) rogue I imprint the aoe flurry aspect on a recently acquired legendary bow. Thats what I did in both the betas and once I did that, even though I kept upgrading my main weapons (dual daggers) I didn't find the need to upgrade my bow weapon even though I was getting bows with minor damage / stat boosts.
@@aneeshmenon5885 that’s because the level cap was 20 or 25. We’ll be finding better bows too. Just don’t imprint onto the weapons early on unless it’s aspects from the codex of power
so should one sell items for gold if it's so valuable or get the ressources?
When should we imprint then, im guess once u can go to wt3?
i made this mistake in the first beta and realized pretty soon, got the power for sorc that let you spawn an additional set of hydras and it hard carried even on a lower level weapon but it would have been so much better if I hadnt put it on the weapon
Perfect timing! Thanks
The only time I imprinted and upgraded equipment was at level 20 because our level was capped at 20 in the server slam and we had to prepare for the Ashava fight. After launch, there is no cap and you can definitely pick up better items when you level up... no reason to waste gold.
Playing flurry build. Is my main weapon dager so i can give LP to my bow?
Thx Raxx, really helpful for beginners. Another question is what should I do with all the "unwanted" gears, should I sell it all since you mentioned gold is very important?
I would suggest selling all normal and magic gear for gold but disassembling rare since it seems that bottleneck is veiled crystals and other types of materials are plentiful.
Edit: saw some helpful info below that the higher level items sell for more gold but give same materials so might be smart to disassemble everything while at very low levels and later just the items giving a new transmog and rares.
@@iawtc That might be smart too just because you don't quite need the gold as much leveling but you will want the materials later for upgrading gear.
Great tips bro
