That's what the PoB is for... do your homework before starting the character/league so that you know what you're doing ahead of time. Set up and understand your PoB and use it as a guide book.
And check to see if i can outsmart the build guide..by searching for better deeps in the pob at lvl 7 by picking up 5 atk spd instead of 10 int for my Lightning Golemancer Nade Spammer...or whatever ridiculous name someone comes up with next build...
Going through campaign listening to podcast *Podcast ends* "I .... I .... I don't know what to do!!!" Proceed to spend up to an hour trying to find something to listen to, getting distracted by something else on the internet, and forgetting entirely that the game is running in the background.
from my experience, by the time you get to the last episode of a podcast, you won't remember anything from the earlier ones, so just relisten the whole show.
just one thing about blood aqueducts, the little branches in the map that go to the outside are guaranteed to have blue packs so i usually always go down there
You don't level slower because of penalties when you are at or slightly above level. You level slower because you COULD be in a higher level zone (which awards more XP) without penalties.
@@Vherax yea but that is not really relvant here as even if you kill a lot of monsters you not gonna be 4+(level/16) levels above the zone normaly. and he was talking about being AT zonne level. The Diffrence is really kust the level increase of the monsters (1.02*Mob_Level^2.2 to be precise.)
This is by far the best laid out video to help me as a beginner. So much jargon and fast explanations out there. First time I've been able to actually follow a POE video
I cannot begin to thank you for some of these tips. As a complete noob the speed mechanics& not killing everything alone helped me get through the game so much faster. I cannot thank you enough!
thanks for the amazing video, new player here, and after watching a few videos on leveling honestly this has been the best one for me, how simple it is layed out, easy to follow, got me through the entire story no problems
Thank you! I needed this so much since I just finished campaign yesterday after 19 hours played lol Ritual in every zone and my "oh look shiny!" ADHD made me spend way too much time getting campaign done...
I genuinely enjoy levelling tbh, thanks to tyty I can spend 4-6 hours levelling, and I enjoy that absolute living hell out of that. I love using the skills at their absolute raw stage and see how they go up, then finally hitting act 4 and using all the link before hitting Malachai. Just keep moving, hit monsters, level, +/-1 level per area, and never EVER sit in encampments or your hideout unless you're crafting resistances or taking a small break
I'm only 6 minutes in the video and already learned so much. Also note that i probably have 300 hours on my belt. But that was mostly mapping. I always dreaded creating new characters. I appreciate your hardwork for making this video. The editing, script, that test dummy character and more.
I have 10k+ hours (playing since alpha, many years before Steam release), I never needed any skipping or anything to reach end campaign day 1-2, this is just another vid for $, they make anything nowadays. You'll win maybe 30 minutes, for a normie with job, wife and great friends it doesn't matter, it's for ladder racers. Just enjoy the game, rush nothing. I never rush, not one season. The fact he says you can learn this in 5 minutes but the video takes 15 minutes you know this dude is bad at calculating anyway.
Quick tip: smoke mine + flame dash combo is SUPER OP. You may lazy practicing that combo at first ( like me ), but after I can use it properly I addicted to it. Trust me you will feel way faster using that combo.
I tell myself every League that I won't stop to kill monsters and I get maybe 2-3 screens in Act 1 before I instantly fail miserably at that and just kill too much.
That's it! This is exactly what I needed. Not some tytykiller 1h-ish video guide for racers. I'm no racer. I just want to go through levels faster. Specially at League Start. Thanks! A lot!
I'm just a beginner, got a few pointers from guides like this, and am creating my own build (ikr?) and slowly figuring everything out. It's a blast learning how the stuff works and synergizes. Not sure why most people are so focused on doing everything as efficiently and quickly as possible. There can be fun just learning slowly and soaking everything in, too. Another really great guide, though!
Well that's because when you finish the campaign once then there is not really a reason you wouldn't want to not finish it fast again. The real Path of Exile gameplay is on maps not on prologue named "Campaign" Edit: sheesh, just saw that it's been a year ago lol
That's a good quick guide on the basics of leveling. Figured it out through years on Diablo 2 and such.. Been speeding at times (doing some top rankings !) but now mostly enjoying taking my time and using non-optimized fun skills to kill what's on the path :) But some casual friends are complaining about the lenght of leveling phase, doing exactly that. Killing everything, taking 5min between quests to update all gear.. while I just go mostly naked ^^
@@robertfiorito9888 Me too. But I don't regret it at all. I found a 5L chest for my character, several more 5L chests for other characters, a 6L chest for my character, a 6L 2H Karui Chopper which another character will use, another 6L chest for another character, and then a TON of excellent Talismans as well. Long story short: I got three 6L items in Ritual during the Acts. I've never been offered a 6L in Ritual during maps. To have 3x 6L by the time you kill Act 10 Kitava (an Axe, a Str chest and an Int chest) is a pretty darn handy start to a league. So I'm really glad I took the time to do it.
@@porous9 It was different at the beginning of the league, they've clearly slaughtered Ritual's reward like one week or two later, i've quickly find a corrupted lvl 4 enlighten for example, now it's not at all the case anymore and i mostly skip it, it's almost useless depending of your character's ability to clean a map. The irony is a slow cleaner might aswell slow down even more for Rituals, it won't change much things for him. Faster ones are just losing their time, i don't know why they've butchered rituals this way, should i be happy for being able to buy one Exalt in 500 rituals, while up to many exalts value drops are waiting for me on the rest of the map ?
I didn't expect to learn anything from this video. Then you told me about how to use Smoke Mind, and it not only is a massive game changer for running through spaces, but it was exactly the moevement skill I needed for my league starter. I'm using elemental equilibrium, and it's SO much better than Dash!
dweller of the deep and marooned mariner are the 2 skill point quests I'd say you don't skip, because they are on the way. marooned mariner, you don't need to give it right away, but if you find the entrance, rush through the zone, pick up the allflame and continue, then go back later to give it to fairgraves from the waypoint you definitely didn't forget to pick dweller, if you get to the entrance, drop a portal in front, then go in, kill the dweller and go back to character selection, then pick the portal in town, if you find the stairs going up, drop the portal in the bottom, go to the ledge waypoint, back in town and pick the portal. note that the 2nd one, you have to go fast enough to not have the portal despawn, but it's fairly easy as long as you follow the don't genocide rule. the part 2 god killing skill points (i.e. minor pantheon), do skip till you're high level though. another couple of great tips is finding the sorceress bandit, there are stones near the path leading to her. for the act 8, where you are running through the houses, the only ones you need to move through have a corpse in front, the other ones won't, so don't go inside the buildings without corpses. for the quay with the resurrect tolman quest, follow the water border, and look for a narrow passage, the ankh will be there, and it's a pita to get back to, so pick it up while going through the first time, if you find clarissa before the exit, you definitely want to do the quest, because it's also annoying to get back to and it's fairly easy.
First time seeing your channel pop up. Just got my second character on my first league past campaign so this is super awesome I’ll remember this for the next character/league. I subscribed to show some love and appreciation for this video.
I´m the opposite of the video. I like levelling, watch my character grow, change equipment. Mapping is SOOOO boring, doing the same maps for almost no exp gain. I usually stop playing the char at level 87-90 max.
yeah, when I was a noob and didn't know how to properly do any build progression I would also stop at 90 coz i couldn't progress any further, everything was killing me, so I would re-roll, and try another build/char, and so on... and I also would convince myself "it is actually more fun this way" when in reality it wasn't, once you learn the ver end-game, you will see the fun is actually the epic battles vs elder, shaper, uber atziri/elder/shaper, sirus, conquerors, maven and invitations... not fucking campaign xD
@@janovmi2 how even, the xp penalty alone should make it nearly impossible to cross 70 or so unless you are repeating zones like farming blood aquas. Even then getting levels past 78 is gonna be insane.
I usually take two Quicksilvers and alternate uses so they fill up at the same time. Go from some uptime to a lot of uptime. Helps if you have a pack drought, hate losing momentum.
Dweller of the deep: put a portal when you find the stairs go to ledge and teleport to town, take the waypoint and find the flooded depths to kill him. Learned that from tyty too.
Thanks for stating at the start that this is not for HC players. As a HCSSF player myself, I kept giggling.. "use boots that ONLY have movement speed", "be underleveled", "skip passive skill point quests", "do labs as you find them".. I was like.... "oh that's how you can play this game?" :D
Alright, I'll give it to you. The multiple MS boots recipe is something I didn't know. And I play since 3.4 :| ty Later edit: little tip if you can't stop yourself from killing mobs, try to kill only the blue and yellow pack mobs. They give way more xp and honestly, it's just so juicy to see your xp bar fil by a big chunk at a time.
Another added benefit of delaying the skill point quests is that free levels become more and more valuable as the amount of experience required to get to the next level increases
Trip for altaholics that like having extra twink gear around. Use the extra reforge element crafts from harvest on some level 2-13 wands from the vendor in act 1 and you can get some pretty crazy +1 with other stat wands that you can use from act 1 to red maps often. You can do this with shields as well if you happen to prefer that. I also know that I maybe leveling a few toons each league and when I am IDing rares early in the league I save good life resis helm, gloves, boots, and rings that require level 40-50 since this is when you start the 2nd half and having something like a 40 life ring with 60-100 resis can be a game changer for living if your like me and know death running a boss is the faster way to do it but my pride makes me want to aim for story deathless. When I first started playing poe it was an average of 18 hours for the story now I can do it in 7 on league start and 4-5 with twink gear. Like all things the more you do it the faster you become and if you ever dislike a league maybe consider saying fuck the end game and do some build testing and alt leveling. I hated bestiary starting out because of the nets and spent the first month leveling 1-2 toons a week in the story and that more then cut my releveling him in half going forward.
Even after 4k hours i can learn a few things. I did not know how to check which quest gives passive points, now i know. I usually just run straight to the boss, equip some boss killing spells or minions which i reskill later on after champaign and get back to sidequests after 2nd kitava.
WOW Ive been playing for awhile & yes its so hard not to stop & kill stuff BUT I want to try this as it seems to take forever to get to Maps! Thanks BD
Thanks for the tips. I have around 1.4k+ hours in my poe and I still lack some speed to speedrun through campaign. Even tho i rush through areas, at some points i still kill some mobs to keep up with levels and do passive side guests :p ill save this video to my archives and try these next time
great video as usual! love that you are doing crackling lance/golem build since that is my league starter and it erases bosses and has decent clear speed
I'd just warn ppl not to overdo staying underleveled vs the zone you're currently in. If you fall -lower than those 3-4 levels (or more, depending on your level - check the experience formula on wiki) below the enemies in your current zone, you will actually take an experience penalty. I remember once rushing through the campaign, skipping most enemies. Was surprised to end up underleveled 10-12 levels by the time I reached act 4, just only because I didn't notice I went too fast and started loosing experience due to the level difference penalty.
I love your content and glad I found the channel - will probably be doing one of your builds for league start next league, but... I will pick up every scroll I see and you can't stop me. No scroll left behind
Great video, thank you! I have also discovered that casters are good with Nomic's Storm boots because they give you 40% movement speed if you have full ES, more important they usually are much cheaper than even Wanderlust.
The speed you can craft on boots is not limited to the item level of the boots. That said, 30% is the limit, and the character level required goes up as you craft higher movement speed.
the other command to know is /remaining. even though it shows the same info on the map screen with Tab, it can be easier to see in the chat window, to see remaining number of enemies in current zone.
A lot of my issues for being slow were brought to light in this guide. I kill EVERYTHING on the map, open every chest, and for some reason I always have to reveal the entire map. I think I play POE like I would and mmo and thats my major issue as to why I lvl so slowly.
Such a good vid. Sent this to a bunch of mates. Would love a list of what map to Go and when, log out and back in when? I have followed a guide but it tends to send me all over chasing the skill points.
Yeah the campaign is always the biggest dampener to my motivation. Makes me regularly skip a League if it doesn't look interesting enough (which is a good thing, either way) - but I guess I'll try to be more focused this time around. Nice set of tips, especially with the Smoke Mine / left click Detonate :)
And here's the ONLY point where diablo 3 does better than PoE: you don't need to do the campaing after you've done it once... NEVER, even on a new season. You buy the game, play the campaing, enjoy the story, watch all those nice cutscenes, enrage against blizzard when they kill cain. Done? Okay, you get adventure mode, minor rifts, greater rifts... on all characters that you already have and any new character you make. Forever. "Oh, but in diablo 2"... yeap, in diablo 2 NOBODY plays the damn campaing. Here's how one level on diablo 2: Get lvl 6, save cain on your own, shouldn't take more than a few minutes. Trist runs to lvl 15. Finish A1, move to A2, rush trough it ignoring 90% of the content. Rush trough act 3 to get faster to meph. Tomb runs untill arround 22/23. Rush A4, don't do forge, don't do izual unless finding him midway. Kill Di, rush A5, get 24 before reaching ancys, do ancys, Baal... baal runs to lvl 45, rush trough nightmare, nm runs to arround 60. On 60 you should be able to at least get to the ancients on a rush without any problem. All this considering you'r starting a ladder. If it's mid ladder: make character, get grushed to a5. Level to 6, save cain. Trist runs to 15 - tomb runs to 24, ask someone to help with ancients, baal runs to 45, ask nm rush, baal runs to 60, ask for hell rush 4 forge, baal runs forever. PoE is just nor slower than grim dawn on that aspect, and even grim dawn give you the ability to use Crucible to level and gear a new character to get on a build! Here's how I think PoE should work: 1st character on league - play the damn campaing. It's good, it has a nice story, the devs lost a lot of time developing it. 2nd character - you don't need to repeat everything you just did. Go to yout HO, get "low level maps" from npc, those maps will be based on the areas a character should be doing by that time and arround those level on the campaing. Level by doing those maps, stop midway to get labs done. Got to lvl 60? Go do key skill and resists quests, kill kitava, get to end game mapping.
@@fuinharlz Diablo 3 is the most boring game once you unlock adventure mode. Grinding the same nephalem and greater rifts everyday is not fun. It has the worst endgame I have ever seen in a game.
@@danylo211 Have you ever played diablo 2 on the battle net? If not, here's how you play: get lvl 5 and save cain. Find "trist run" games, do then untill arround 14, 15. Get a rush to a5 before ancients. Tomb runs untill 24, do ancients, baal runs to 35, kill baal and go to nm, rush to baal, baal runs to 60, kill baal nm, go to hell, rush hell, baal runs rest your character life. What kills diablo III is not the "repetitive end game", we had that on diablo II and still play it to this day. WHat killed diablo 3 is the lack of purpose on the runs. Yeah, we know, there's a rank, wich nobody gives a damn... on diablo 2 there are some items so rare that just arround 10% of everyone who ever played diablo 2 found on a drop. On D3 you get the damn best itens on the game in hours. There's literally zero magic find hunt, no build diversity, nothing. The problem on PoE campaing is the same you'r talking about the end game on D3... it's repetitive, in a bad way. After you complete it in one character, you don't want to spend hours again to level another character to test a different build, a different mechanic. And doind all acts again is basically the same as repeating greater rifts over and over.
The main thing that slows me down with my first char in a new league is....the league itself :> Acts 1-3 I'm usually figuring it out having fun. THEN I will party and power through untill I'm like 3-6 levels behind, farm and do league mechanic till I'm on par and contnue. Especially love doing aquaduct for league mechanics as it's straight forward very rarly will you miss the league mechanic if your just running through.
When I tried to just keep moving and I used smoke mine and flame dash and avoided as many mobs as i could, I finished the campaign in 6 hours at level 47 with no gear for maps. 😳
Honestly, they need to just add an alternate way of leveling. A pre-map system unlocked once you have one character through the campaign. Then have the quest rewards get handed out through various level points. Would make it quite a bit more fun.
@@siignova yeah. It was really fun the first time and replaying it after few years when getting back to game in delirium . But in heist. Was just going trough the motions. Campaign is fun, but the way content is done, if you are not getting dozens of chaos orbs per hour it seems like waste of time. Hence people are recommending to not engage the content until maps. Skip quests, don't figh monsters, just run to next area. Alternative way for players to get to end game grind would be preferable
@@Sammysapphira Easy sure, but time consuming. Remember, around 90% of players rarely even get to Red tier maps. The main issue for this is time and build choice. By having an alternate leveling method, that meant more to your character at end game, we could get more players in the end game. I am good with needing to hit maps with a character in your game mode to unlock this method, but lets be honest, the campaign is boring, so it also solves that problem.
Another tip: You don't need to talk to NPC's for the quests. You just talk to them when you want to get the rewards. Just go straight to where you should go. Saves a LOT of time. Pull up 'Badger's Leveling Guide' on reddit. It has an infographic type of the acts that would guide people where to go.
Thank fucking God I found this video, thank you. After I finished with my Necromancer(newbie just started playing 2 days ago) I might make a new character.
Two trials of ascendancy I always skip are in the crypt (act 2) and in the catacombs (act 3), because they are out of my way. I wait after completing the first mission in act 4, then I come back, then I do the first Lab... way faster ;P Also press tab to check the lvl of the current area... If you are at the same lvl, skip most of the mobs and start killing the ones at the next area. And for God's sake, talk to the NPC in Act 3 AFTER getting the way point in Crematorium and get the way point in the Lab on the way out (you save A LOT of walking)
(if you got something else on left click) I always put smoke mine on E. Then D to travel. I used to think the "throw" and "trigger" mechanic was super awkward, but after 5mins practice with E,D you realise its a single simple motion, press E, drag finger down over D, its like a little swipe on the keyboard rather than a press. ed ed ed ed ed ed ed eded ed ede edededed Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I still did league mechanic. Lots of chaos orbs. Got to about 60 before I even started doing the vendor recipe Also lots of 5 linked heard which I've been selling for chaos. I would say rituals are the only worthwhile mobs to kill
That's serious issue with campaign that encourages people to skip the content... Cant play like that. If I don't do all content then I feel like I'm missing on. Hence campaign takes me a week to go through
I'm not a hardcore speed runner by any means but I can usually get through all 10 Acts in 8-9 hours with doing all the passive skill quests, all trials for labs (excluding map trials), no quicksilver flasks. I absolutely, whole heartedly agree with not doing the league mechanic. :P Of course this is just with a league starter character. With some currency and leveling gear it goes much faster. :P
This is the video that I will link to all those Reddit posts about hating levelling. Before Maps the game is a running simulator. Don't go out of your way to kill things, don't even kill everything you run past(unless blue pack), try to use skills that kill as you keep running (orb of storms, ignites, poisons, minions, traps, totems). I'd even say to skip the trials unless you run into them or they are harder to get to later. Like if the closest waypoint is 2 zones from the trial (chamber of sin is one like that I think). Learn where the trials spawn. Like the one in tunnels will always be between the start of the zone and the waypoint, once you pass the waypoint don't look for it. Unless the ascendancy nodes are build enabling do Lab later. You will complete them faster and with less risk when you out level the Lab. Personally, I do all 3 labs just before Act 10 Kitava so my resistances aren't too bad in Lab. Builds these days are usually strong enough to brute force through campaign without ascendancy nodes. Learn where some skill point quests spawn so you can still do some as you level. Like the Daddy Crab, in the submerged passage there is a bridge that the zone narrows too, put a portal here because the daddy crab zone is to the left or right of that bridge. Go all the way to ledge waypoint, go to town, go to the portal and do daddy crab quest. Then you can resume from the ledge after the side quest is complete. Tip about Blood Aqueducts, you can start chaos recipe collection. Just grab, don't ID, put in a tab for later, and sell for 2c. It takes more time than just running through the zone but it gives you a nice buffer of currency to spend before maps to fix the gear that is bad from all the rushing. It's also a good place to farm for Humility cards (the get much less chance to drop once you are above 70 I think). You can even level in BA to 70 while farming chaos recipe and Humility, then start maps with a 6link and currency.
this is some good advice, but I have found that once in act 2 at least it is smart to take the time to do the league mechanic, since the rewards for Rituals can be insane for how quick and easy they can be
Well the thing is, I love to kill all the mobs. I love taking my time going through this game. I like walking my own path when creating a character. My Templar ended up being an aura and totem healer with a minion that does damage and heals on hit with his weapon, along with zombie minions. My Witch became a necromancer that has zombies, can summon skeletons, and raging skulls and her minions can summon phantasms when they hit enemies. She also uses Fire Wall which does more damage in a smaller area. My Shadow is being turned into WoW type hunter using zombies instead of a tamed pet. I'll probably turn a ranger into a rogue as I think it would do better as that. But you get the point. I follow my own path and just do what I want.
Imma do all of this but then spend 20 minutes looking at my passive tree in town
and 30 minutes reading my skills
Not to mention reading up on/looking for gems.
That's what the PoB is for... do your homework before starting the character/league so that you know what you're doing ahead of time. Set up and understand your PoB and use it as a guide book.
Lolllll same
And check to see if i can outsmart the build guide..by searching for better deeps in the pob at lvl 7 by picking up 5 atk spd instead of 10 int for my Lightning Golemancer Nade Spammer...or whatever ridiculous name someone comes up with next build...
I go through the campaign with at least 3 quicksilver flasks, and only stop to kill mobs when i need flask charge, that helped me a lot.
Try hardcore
Good for you.

Dont forget to check all the vendors everytime you level up!

I'm just a beginner, got a few pointers from guides like this, and am creating my own build (ikr?) and slowly figuring everything out. It's a blast learning how the stuff works and synergizes. Not sure why most people are so focused on doing everything as efficiently and quickly as possible. There can be fun just learning slowly and soaking everything in, too.
Another really great guide, though!
Well that's because when you finish the campaign once then there is not really a reason you wouldn't want to not finish it fast again. The real Path of Exile gameplay is on maps not on prologue named "Campaign"
Edit: sheesh, just saw that it's been a year ago lol
That's a good quick guide on the basics of leveling.
Figured it out through years on Diablo 2 and such.. Been speeding at times (doing some top rankings !) but now mostly enjoying taking my time and using non-optimized fun skills to kill what's on the path :)
But some casual friends are complaining about the lenght of leveling phase, doing exactly that. Killing everything, taking 5min between quests to update all gear.. while I just go mostly naked ^^
My problem was FOMO ritual interactions because of the crazy stuff I saw on Reddit.
Took me days to get through the acts because of that
@@robertfiorito9888 Me too. But I don't regret it at all. I found a 5L chest for my character, several more 5L chests for other characters, a 6L chest for my character, a 6L 2H Karui Chopper which another character will use, another 6L chest for another character, and then a TON of excellent Talismans as well. Long story short: I got three 6L items in Ritual during the Acts. I've never been offered a 6L in Ritual during maps. To have 3x 6L by the time you kill Act 10 Kitava (an Axe, a Str chest and an Int chest) is a pretty darn handy start to a league. So I'm really glad I took the time to do it.
@@porous9 WOW. I found somew good stuff but not that good.
I'd rather be in maps in 7 hours. The league mechanics are generally more rewarding in maps. If you just push through maps fast you'll make money
@@porous9 It was different at the beginning of the league, they've clearly slaughtered Ritual's reward like one week or two later, i've quickly find a corrupted lvl 4 enlighten for example, now it's not at all the case anymore and i mostly skip it, it's almost useless depending of your character's ability to clean a map. The irony is a slow cleaner might aswell slow down even more for Rituals, it won't change much things for him. Faster ones are just losing their time, i don't know why they've butchered rituals this way, should i be happy for being able to buy one Exalt in 500 rituals, while up to many exalts value drops are waiting for me on the rest of the map ?
You say it can be learned in 5-10 minutes but the video is 15 minutes long??? Nice scam. Unsubbed, unfollowed, unwatched.
You watch videos at 100% speed? If I had that much time I'd be watching more podcasts.
HAHA very funny !!!
It's not 5-10 minutes, it's 5+10 minutes.
stop cry hating kachba yoji
*WHAT* is going on guys, it's Yoji
sounds about right. that advice is very similar to so many other game guides and yet we get distracted. so funny.
Finally a super well round explain leveling guide! awsome congratz BD
I didn't expect to learn anything from this video. Then you told me about how to use Smoke Mind, and it not only is a massive game changer for running through spaces, but it was exactly the moevement skill I needed for my league starter. I'm using elemental equilibrium, and it's SO much better than Dash!
dweller of the deep and marooned mariner are the 2 skill point quests I'd say you don't skip, because they are on the way.
marooned mariner, you don't need to give it right away, but if you find the entrance, rush through the zone, pick up the allflame and continue, then go back later to give it to fairgraves from the waypoint you definitely didn't forget to pick
dweller, if you get to the entrance, drop a portal in front, then go in, kill the dweller and go back to character selection, then pick the portal in town, if you find the stairs going up, drop the portal in the bottom, go to the ledge waypoint, back in town and pick the portal.
note that the 2nd one, you have to go fast enough to not have the portal despawn, but it's fairly easy as long as you follow the don't genocide rule.
the part 2 god killing skill points (i.e. minor pantheon), do skip till you're high level though.
another couple of great tips is finding the sorceress bandit, there are stones near the path leading to her. for the act 8, where you are running through the houses, the only ones you need to move through have a corpse in front, the other ones won't, so don't go inside the buildings without corpses.
for the quay with the resurrect tolman quest, follow the water border, and look for a narrow passage, the ankh will be there, and it's a pita to get back to, so pick it up while going through the first time, if you find clarissa before the exit, you definitely want to do the quest, because it's also annoying to get back to and it's fairly easy.
Ctrl+click on tree page confirms the point (no need to accept the allocated points)
First time seeing your channel pop up. Just got my second character on my first league past campaign so this is super awesome I’ll remember this for the next character/league. I subscribed to show some love and appreciation for this video.
I felt so stuck until you told me to run through everything. Best advice i have gotten so far!
I´m the opposite of the video. I like levelling, watch my character grow, change equipment. Mapping is SOOOO boring, doing the same maps for almost no exp gain. I usually stop playing the char at level 87-90 max.
yeah, when I was a noob and didn't know how to properly do any build progression I would also stop at 90 coz i couldn't progress any further, everything was killing me, so I would re-roll, and try another build/char, and so on... and I also would convince myself "it is actually more fun this way" when in reality it wasn't, once you learn the ver end-game, you will see the fun is actually the epic battles vs elder, shaper, uber atziri/elder/shaper, sirus, conquerors, maven and invitations... not fucking campaign xD

@@janovmi2 how even, the xp penalty alone should make it nearly impossible to cross 70 or so unless you are repeating zones like farming blood aquas. Even then getting levels past 78 is gonna be insane.
Great video, perfect and not just for beginners
12:50 - After act 5 each death is a 5% XP penalty. During the leveling process this is hardly noticeable.
But it ruins the endgame *HARD*
Eh, at least you still keep your character.
The hell are you talking about...
@@MrKinir He's talking about the laughable death in Softcore. Oh, no my exp...
Ngl death pretty irrelivant until post 70 lul u get ur exp back first pack of blue mobs
That 10% xp loss is game killing. Fucking hate it and stop playing somewhere in the 81-89 range.
I played one of your builds for first time so noob friendly thanks!
I usually take two Quicksilvers and alternate uses so they fill up at the same time. Go from some uptime to a lot of uptime. Helps if you have a pack drought, hate losing momentum.
Dweller of the deep: put a portal when you find the stairs go to ledge and teleport to town, take the waypoint and find the flooded depths to kill him. Learned that from tyty too.
Thanks for stating at the start that this is not for HC players.
As a HCSSF player myself, I kept giggling.. "use boots that ONLY have movement speed", "be underleveled", "skip passive skill point quests", "do labs as you find them"..
I was like.... "oh that's how you can play this game?" :D
Alright, I'll give it to you. The multiple MS boots recipe is something I didn't know. And I play since 3.4 :| ty
Later edit: little tip if you can't stop yourself from killing mobs, try to kill only the blue and yellow pack mobs. They give way more xp and honestly, it's just so juicy to see your xp bar fil by a big chunk at a time.
my strat is get flame dash asap and focus on story quests then do quests for passives at end. maybe not fastest method but it works for me.
Yo, right when you said "up and left.... not down and right" I seriously paused and subbed. Genius.
Another added benefit of delaying the skill point quests is that free levels become more and more valuable as the amount of experience required to get to the next level increases
love the uptempo and articulation. Good job and 2 the point! Keep it up!
Before I keep watching this video: Fucking hell this intro was hilarious. The youtube thumbnail diss was on point man. literally made my day
I really needed that guide, ty bro.
Trip for altaholics that like having extra twink gear around. Use the extra reforge element crafts from harvest on some level 2-13 wands from the vendor in act 1 and you can get some pretty crazy +1 with other stat wands that you can use from act 1 to red maps often. You can do this with shields as well if you happen to prefer that. I also know that I maybe leveling a few toons each league and when I am IDing rares early in the league I save good life resis helm, gloves, boots, and rings that require level 40-50 since this is when you start the 2nd half and having something like a 40 life ring with 60-100 resis can be a game changer for living if your like me and know death running a boss is the faster way to do it but my pride makes me want to aim for story deathless.
When I first started playing poe it was an average of 18 hours for the story now I can do it in 7 on league start and 4-5 with twink gear. Like all things the more you do it the faster you become and if you ever dislike a league maybe consider saying fuck the end game and do some build testing and alt leveling. I hated bestiary starting out because of the nets and spent the first month leveling 1-2 toons a week in the story and that more then cut my releveling him in half going forward.
Even after 4k hours i can learn a few things. I did not know how to check which quest gives passive points, now i know.
I usually just run straight to the boss, equip some boss killing spells or minions which i reskill later on after champaign and get back to sidequests after 2nd kitava.
Always great content man. Been playing for a while and still learnt a lot of stuff. Thanks! X
ive been playing PoE since Beta and this opened my eyes
Same. I still kill all of the monsters.
WOW Ive been playing for awhile & yes its so hard not to stop & kill stuff BUT I want to try this as it seems to take forever to get to Maps! Thanks BD
Great video. I'll definately use this to level next time. Never thought about passing any passives to get them later.
Thanks for the tips. I have around 1.4k+ hours in my poe and I still lack some speed to speedrun through campaign. Even tho i rush through areas, at some points i still kill some mobs to keep up with levels and do passive side guests :p ill save this video to my archives and try these next time
great video as usual! love that you are doing crackling lance/golem build since that is my league starter and it erases bosses and has decent clear speed
Always quality content. Props, brother.
I'd just warn ppl not to overdo staying underleveled vs the zone you're currently in. If you fall -lower than those 3-4 levels (or more, depending on your level - check the experience formula on wiki) below the enemies in your current zone, you will actually take an experience penalty.
I remember once rushing through the campaign, skipping most enemies. Was surprised to end up underleveled 10-12 levels by the time I reached act 4, just only because I didn't notice I went too fast and started loosing experience due to the level difference penalty.
I love your content and glad I found the channel - will probably be doing one of your builds for league start next league, but... I will pick up every scroll I see and you can't stop me.
No scroll left behind
So by the time you hit maps, you will be counting Scrolls instead of Exalteds as many people, good strat bro :D KEKW
Thanks for this i just started playing and I was running around the whole map like a noob 😅
ty big ducks very informative video!
Great video, thank you! I have also discovered that casters are good with Nomic's Storm boots because they give you 40% movement speed if you have full ES, more important they usually are much cheaper than even Wanderlust.
My man )) awesome video as always 👍All the best !! Stay safe!!
The speed you can craft on boots is not limited to the item level of the boots. That said, 30% is the limit, and the character level required goes up as you craft higher movement speed.
Nice breakdown. Basically it's the explanation for all the things tytykiller does when he does his
/passives played this game for years and never knew about this.... Thank you keep up the awesome content
the other command to know is /remaining. even though it shows the same info on the map screen with Tab, it can be easier to see in the chat window, to see remaining number of enemies in current zone.
great video and nice starting tips to get to the fun part of the game. Good job!
This was fucking AMAZING! dropped a sub just because fucking WOW
Good tips dude, thanks 😊👍👍
A lot of my issues for being slow were brought to light in this guide. I kill EVERYTHING on the map, open every chest, and for some reason I always have to reveal the entire map. I think I play POE like I would and mmo and thats my major issue as to why I lvl so slowly.
Such a good vid. Sent this to a bunch of mates. Would love a list of what map to Go and when, log out and back in when? I have followed a guide but it tends to send me all over chasing the skill points.
Gotta say that I do pick the small side areas on Blood Aquaducts because they always guarantee a blue pack
Big Ducks absolutly underrated poe content creater. support this guy he is awesome.
Yeah the campaign is always the biggest dampener to my motivation. Makes me regularly skip a League if it doesn't look interesting enough (which is a good thing, either way) - but I guess I'll try to be more focused this time around. Nice set of tips, especially with the Smoke Mine / left click Detonate :)
And here's the ONLY point where diablo 3 does better than PoE: you don't need to do the campaing after you've done it once... NEVER, even on a new season. You buy the game, play the campaing, enjoy the story, watch all those nice cutscenes, enrage against blizzard when they kill cain. Done? Okay, you get adventure mode, minor rifts, greater rifts... on all characters that you already have and any new character you make. Forever.
"Oh, but in diablo 2"... yeap, in diablo 2 NOBODY plays the damn campaing. Here's how one level on diablo 2:
Get lvl 6, save cain on your own, shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
Trist runs to lvl 15. Finish A1, move to A2, rush trough it ignoring 90% of the content. Rush trough act 3 to get faster to meph. Tomb runs untill arround 22/23. Rush A4, don't do forge, don't do izual unless finding him midway. Kill Di, rush A5, get 24 before reaching ancys, do ancys, Baal... baal runs to lvl 45, rush trough nightmare, nm runs to arround 60. On 60 you should be able to at least get to the ancients on a rush without any problem.
All this considering you'r starting a ladder. If it's mid ladder: make character, get grushed to a5. Level to 6, save cain. Trist runs to 15 - tomb runs to 24, ask someone to help with ancients, baal runs to 45, ask nm rush, baal runs to 60, ask for hell rush 4 forge, baal runs forever.
PoE is just nor slower than grim dawn on that aspect, and even grim dawn give you the ability to use Crucible to level and gear a new character to get on a build!
Here's how I think PoE should work:
1st character on league - play the damn campaing. It's good, it has a nice story, the devs lost a lot of time developing it.
2nd character - you don't need to repeat everything you just did. Go to yout HO, get "low level maps" from npc, those maps will be based on the areas a character should be doing by that time and arround those level on the campaing. Level by doing those maps, stop midway to get labs done. Got to lvl 60? Go do key skill and resists quests, kill kitava, get to end game mapping.
@@fuinharlz Diablo 3 is the most boring game once you unlock adventure mode. Grinding the same nephalem and greater rifts everyday is not fun. It has the worst endgame I have ever seen in a game.
@@danylo211 Have you ever played diablo 2 on the battle net? If not, here's how you play:
get lvl 5 and save cain. Find "trist run" games, do then untill arround 14, 15. Get a rush to a5 before ancients. Tomb runs untill 24, do ancients, baal runs to 35, kill baal and go to nm, rush to baal, baal runs to 60, kill baal nm, go to hell, rush hell, baal runs rest your character life.
What kills diablo III is not the "repetitive end game", we had that on diablo II and still play it to this day. WHat killed diablo 3 is the lack of purpose on the runs. Yeah, we know, there's a rank, wich nobody gives a damn... on diablo 2 there are some items so rare that just arround 10% of everyone who ever played diablo 2 found on a drop. On D3 you get the damn best itens on the game in hours. There's literally zero magic find hunt, no build diversity, nothing.
The problem on PoE campaing is the same you'r talking about the end game on D3... it's repetitive, in a bad way. After you complete it in one character, you don't want to spend hours again to level another character to test a different build, a different mechanic. And doind all acts again is basically the same as repeating greater rifts over and over.
@@fuinharlz Oh yeah, I agree. I should have elaborated on my previous message. Diablo 3 is repetitive with no purpose.
The main thing that slows me down with my first char in a new league is....the league itself :> Acts 1-3 I'm usually figuring it out having fun. THEN I will party and power through untill I'm like 3-6 levels behind, farm and do league mechanic till I'm on par and contnue. Especially love doing aquaduct for league mechanics as it's straight forward very rarly will you miss the league mechanic if your just running through.
Goddamn your video rocks man, +1 sub.
Thanks dude actually helps
When I tried to just keep moving and I used smoke mine and flame dash and avoided as many mobs as i could, I finished the campaign in 6 hours at level 47 with no gear for maps. 😳
Now i know what I'm doing wrong! Great to know. Thanks for the boots crafting recipe. Cheers from the Philippines🍻
When I saw the 'stop committing genocide' I was like....that's a personal attack.

@@daath912 It's two and a half weeks my dude
1m intro to a video about how to not waste time.. Awesome ;)
Honestly, they need to just add an alternate way of leveling. A pre-map system unlocked once you have one character through the campaign. Then have the quest rewards get handed out through various level points. Would make it quite a bit more fun.
Why? Leveling is easy enough already.
@@Sammysapphira
It still takes like 8 hours doing the same content
@@dreed100 That's what makes me feel unmotivated to play again. I'm able to have fun only 8 hours after creating the character. Hate this campaign.
@@siignova yeah.
It was really fun the first time and replaying it after few years when getting back to game in delirium .
But in heist. Was just going trough the motions.
Campaign is fun, but the way content is done, if you are not getting dozens of chaos orbs per hour it seems like waste of time.
Hence people are recommending to not engage the content until maps.
Skip quests, don't figh monsters, just run to next area.
Alternative way for players to get to end game grind would be preferable
@@Sammysapphira Easy sure, but time consuming. Remember, around 90% of players rarely even get to Red tier maps.
The main issue for this is time and build choice. By having an alternate leveling method, that meant more to your character at end game, we could get more players in the end game.
I am good with needing to hit maps with a character in your game mode to unlock this method, but lets be honest, the campaign is boring, so it also solves that problem.
He got a point though.......I sometimes let myself go 7-10 skills points unallocated before I stop and use them
Another tip: You don't need to talk to NPC's for the quests. You just talk to them when you want to get the rewards. Just go straight to where you should go. Saves a LOT of time.
Pull up 'Badger's Leveling Guide' on reddit. It has an infographic type of the acts that would guide people where to go.
Thank fucking God I found this video, thank you. After I finished with my Necromancer(newbie just started playing 2 days ago) I might make a new character.
Yeah i basically have done every Ritual and finished the campaign by level 71. I actually knew i was way too slow, but i just couldn't stop :D
you can run aqueducts back and forth, no reason to run to portal every time, just ctrl+click on that area you just came from and make a new instance
Two trials of ascendancy I always skip are in the crypt (act 2) and in the catacombs (act 3), because they are out of my way. I wait after completing the first mission in act 4, then I come back, then I do the first Lab... way faster ;P Also press tab to check the lvl of the current area... If you are at the same lvl, skip most of the mobs and start killing the ones at the next area. And for God's sake, talk to the NPC in Act 3 AFTER getting the way point in Crematorium and get the way point in the Lab on the way out (you save A LOT of walking)
(if you got something else on left click) I always put smoke mine on E. Then D to travel. I used to think the "throw" and "trigger" mechanic was super awkward, but after 5mins practice with E,D you realise its a single simple motion, press E, drag finger down over D, its like a little swipe on the keyboard rather than a press. ed ed ed ed ed ed ed eded ed ede edededed Super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Thx bro, good tips here👍🏻
That's something I just have not thought about in forever...I thought death XP penalties were always a big deal. Good info.
Learned:
Be underlevelled
The speed boots recipe
Don't do league mechanic.....
I feel liek an absolute noob right now
make sense when u wanna play a game but you have to skip 3/4 of it
I still did league mechanic. Lots of chaos orbs. Got to about 60 before I even started doing the vendor recipe
Also lots of 5 linked heard which I've been selling for chaos. I would say rituals are the only worthwhile mobs to kill
That's serious issue with campaign that encourages people to skip the content...
Cant play like that. If I don't do all content then I feel like I'm missing on.
Hence campaign takes me a week to go through
i learned about smoke mine... it sucked when i tried it, since never knew how it actually worked >< it is amazing!!!
I'm not a hardcore speed runner by any means but I can usually get through all 10 Acts in 8-9 hours with doing all the passive skill quests, all trials for labs (excluding map trials), no quicksilver flasks. I absolutely, whole heartedly agree with not doing the league mechanic. :P Of course this is just with a league starter character. With some currency and leveling gear it goes much faster. :P
Never knew about that passive quest command and I've been playing since Delve...🤣
This is the video that I will link to all those Reddit posts about hating levelling. Before Maps the game is a running simulator. Don't go out of your way to kill things, don't even kill everything you run past(unless blue pack), try to use skills that kill as you keep running (orb of storms, ignites, poisons, minions, traps, totems).
I'd even say to skip the trials unless you run into them or they are harder to get to later. Like if the closest waypoint is 2 zones from the trial (chamber of sin is one like that I think). Learn where the trials spawn. Like the one in tunnels will always be between the start of the zone and the waypoint, once you pass the waypoint don't look for it. Unless the ascendancy nodes are build enabling do Lab later. You will complete them faster and with less risk when you out level the Lab. Personally, I do all 3 labs just before Act 10 Kitava so my resistances aren't too bad in Lab. Builds these days are usually strong enough to brute force through campaign without ascendancy nodes.
Learn where some skill point quests spawn so you can still do some as you level. Like the Daddy Crab, in the submerged passage there is a bridge that the zone narrows too, put a portal here because the daddy crab zone is to the left or right of that bridge. Go all the way to ledge waypoint, go to town, go to the portal and do daddy crab quest. Then you can resume from the ledge after the side quest is complete.
Tip about Blood Aqueducts, you can start chaos recipe collection. Just grab, don't ID, put in a tab for later, and sell for 2c. It takes more time than just running through the zone but it gives you a nice buffer of currency to spend before maps to fix the gear that is bad from all the rushing. It's also a good place to farm for Humility cards (the get much less chance to drop once you are above 70 I think). You can even level in BA to 70 while farming chaos recipe and Humility, then start maps with a 6link and currency.
this is some good advice, but I have found that once in act 2 at least it is smart to take the time to do the league mechanic, since the rewards for Rituals can be insane for how quick and easy they can be
Well the thing is, I love to kill all the mobs. I love taking my time going through this game. I like walking my own path when creating a character. My Templar ended up being an aura and totem healer with a minion that does damage and heals on hit with his weapon, along with zombie minions. My Witch became a necromancer that has zombies, can summon skeletons, and raging skulls and her minions can summon phantasms when they hit enemies. She also uses Fire Wall which does more damage in a smaller area. My Shadow is being turned into WoW type hunter using zombies instead of a tamed pet. I'll probably turn a ranger into a rogue as I think it would do better as that. But you get the point. I follow my own path and just do what I want.
Sounds cool, but can they do the end-game bosses? 😞
@@anonguy7599 Don't know yet. My Witch is level 56 and my Templar is 47. I guess I'll have to wait and see.
