    Don't waste your time with low level. Eventually you will level up and most of what you gained while low level will be useless at level 50
    If you're thinking long term, go to 50 as fast as possible

    Strong low levels are more often than not a secondary character that someone is twinking for pvp purposes. They team up with players far above their level so they do not gain experience and take advantage of the higher gear drops. Most players do not consider twinking a good thing, but DSO allows it (some say promotes it) so it probably will not change. It makes early pvp play very difficult to say the least.
    If your goal is to pvp, this is going to be a tough game for you for a long while. Beyond the twinking issue, there are plenty of balancing issues. Just read the pvp section of the forum and you'll get an idea of just how much it bothers players.

    Without dumping a bunch of dollars into the game, it requires patience and time to build a strong character. It takes about 6 months (with mentor bonus) just to max out your wisdom. There are some mighty strong free players, so it is possible to do if you put in the time/effort.

    The key is to get leveled up a bit and then start looking for gear while building up your wisdom. Personally when I started my newest character I did not do any of the quests, I just farmed maps that were two levels or higher than I was until I got to the low 30's. At that point, I started running gorga (normal) over and over. It's a great place to farm gems and even a little ander. Every so often a semi better piece of gear will drop and you can upgrade. It also allows you to begin melting drops for upgrading your somewhat decent gear. You can do nothing but gorga from the low 30's to 45 and you'll be surprised at how much you've developed your toon with gems and glyphs. When you get bored, farm materials for future events. That does take up storage space so keep that in mind.

    They key is grinding over and over and over. Use your ander to open up inventory space and for gems.

    If you don't want to grind the same map over and over, find a good active guild to help you through some events or to help you run some tougher maps.

    Well, i really thank you, you help me a lot with all that tips. The way just farm and don't do quest work better than i think. Slow level up but make a strong char, i have so much strong items legendary at my level than before.
    About unique and legendary items, do i need to keep for something or just melting it when i don't need ?
    Anything more about this game that i need to know ? Please, tell me more and help orther newbie too.

    You did not mention what character or level you are currently.

    In general, most of the unique drops are not all that great, especially before level 40. The exception to this is event uniques such as the witch set or dragan set or the ess set.

    Until you are strong enough (or can find a good group) to get the event uniques, you'll want to spend your time farming for better legendary gear, gems and glyphs to upgrade the gear you have.

    When I am farming, I only pick up blue or higher gear and melt everything. The goal is to get each piece of gear 2 levels or higher than your character.

    Items on the left hand side (amulet, rings, belt) should have lines of dmg and crit. Your weapon you ultimately want 2 lines of dmg and 2 lines of % dmg. On the right hand side, you'll want armor and hp with any dmg lines as a bonus.

    Your final build will kind of depend on what type of character you have. DK's need more armor and hp, SM's need speed and dmg, Rangers and Mages need dmg and crit (generally speaking).

    No matter what you have, the key is a great weapon and the right gems.

    I play Ranger and i'm 31 now.

    What level i should start to farm Gorga, i can't go that place at my level. It's required hight level than me. Where i should farm until i can get there ?

    And i hear about Parallel World, when i should go, from where ? I search Wiki and don't see it in the game, anyway the wiki too old for now and the game is update.

    Please tell me anything about farm that i should know, maps, monster, boss and what level that i should do.

    At 31, try farming Herald (Hidden sanctum map) or Sigris (eternal watch map) over and over until you hit lvl 34.

    If you cannot kill either of them using only green ess, farm Hailstone mountains until you can. Go slow and don't go rushing into mobs or you'll be dying quite a bit.

    Once you hit 34, make your way to Temple Sector and up to Gorga (just run through the maps to get there). He is level 40, but on normal mode very easy to kill.

    These bosses drop a minimum of blue gear items.

    The key is just farming these bosses over and over until you stop getting experience points from them (5 levels higher than them), then you move onto the next boss. Pick up only the blue items and melt everything. Occasionally you'll get an exo or legendary gear drop but these are rare. Use the glyphs to upgrade the gear you are wearing until they are at least 2 levels higher than you.

    You'll constantly be swapping out gear as you level, but as long as you melt everything you get the glyphs back. Just be careful not to "sell" any gear you have upgraded.

    Yes, go to gorga as early as you are able, just make sure that you can kill it using only green ess. It is very boring, but the drops add up quickly, especially gems. Don't pick up the green gear, just blues or higher and melt everything. You'll be surprised how strong you can get running gorga over and over.

    If you can't kill gorga, go back to Sigris and do that over and over until you can do gorga. No quests, just boss kills.

    Do your daily bonus for wisdom points every day. If you have 2 characters you'll get an extra bonus of 500 wisdom points.

    Hm ? If i make a new char level 1 and keep play my ranger, does it bonus ?

    What i should use lock pick 25 or 100 ? Which one more jackpot ?

    I still don't know anything about Paralle World, the wiki to old and not help at all.

    For parallel worlds, one of your characters has to be level 50.

    If you start a new character, the one with the lowest wisdom will get the extra daily wisdom bonus (500). You can use both characters to leap frog the other to build your wisdom faster.

    For lock chests, it really depends on what you like. Some players open the 25 and some the 100. The 100 chest has a possibility of hitting the big anderment jackpot.

    Since GOP is also an important part of the game to upgrade items; Most people play a contiual game of "Melt or Sell." It goes something like this.

    All items have an inherent based gold value and an inherent GOP value. The gold value changes with each item base on the type of item, the type of enchants on it, number of enchants on it, and value/size of enchants. The GOP value is level dependent and number of enchants dependent. So, a green level 40 item will always be worth the same amount of GOP, but it could be a very different gold value.

    Most folks: melt all greens, set a value threshhold for blues in gold to either melt or sell them, and melt all pinks and higher that are not needed by the character. This makes it quicker at the merchant and smithy to get through inventory from a hard farm session. I personally use a 38 threshhold for blues. Above that I sell, below i melt. I use alot of gold for crafting and some for Jesters, as well as never bing satisified with where my gems are. So, i use alot of gold and the threshold is fairly low. I also look at my pinks and legs and something with extreme value compared to norm gets sold.

    As a side note, this is the most expiditious system, but it is not the most valid. In truth if you compare the nuimber of green items it would take to craft a legendary they are worth more in gop and usually also in gold than the legendary. Which says we should be thresh-holding our greens also, but who's got time for that?

    To answer your questions directly: Always farm gold. The game at its fundamentals is very simple: kill more stuff get more stuff. So kill more stuff and use technique above. YOu can lower the threshold for blue items if you are in big need of gold.

    Take any cloak quest you can get and be working on it at the same time you are trying to get the gold for the plan.

    This is why BigPapa has one of the best characters in the game, he plays with a plan and a purpose.

    Your original question in this thread was building a stronger character. As you are at a lower level, my suggestion if you need gold would be to sell all the rings and amulets and melt everything else. This way you can still add up some coins and raise your gear at the same time.

    I would not recommend crafting at your level as you'll be replacing your gear as you level up, so farming gops is a little more important now to get you ready for the tougher maps.

    Building up a strong character is all about taking your time. Gold will really add up on it's own.

    As far as going back and doing quests, when you get completely bored running gorga over and over, take a break and do one or two quests and then go back to gorga.

    My particular system for melt or sell is sell all greens over 20 gold, sell all blues over 80 gold, and melt everything else.

    Practically speaking, that means all green rings and amulets get sold. Some green weapons get sold. Almost all blue amulets get sold, maybe 50% of the blue rings get sold, and occasional blue weapons, typically 2H, get sold.

    In the temple map I suggest kill everything as there are more bosses there it seems then anywhere else. Funniest thing I saw there was a gold flame spouting out of a snare plant so kill everything. And as said before jewelry has the most value in with not much choice then anything else to sell for gold.



    I'm a newplayer and this is my two coppers of advice.
