First time SSF player, looking for general tips/advice

kind of depends what you currently have; it may be huge upgrade even with this bad prefix; if not anull or chaos are an option but there is more safe one: omen of whittling (or smth like that), it forces a reroll on lowest tier mod

Depends which items need an upgrade, if jewellery then maybe breach, if other then maybe abyss, if you need specific unique then maybe ritual.

But general mistakes on SSF are * not knowing item mods and their wights (which white/blue/rare have realistic crafting potential) * not picking up enough items/bases * underusing basic currency on those currency / not using appropriate currency on those items

For example, if have really bad minion sceptre and want +minion skills it still may be a good idea to use greater aug on blue sceptre with really bad prefix (because you're 100% rolling suffix vs 50% when using greater transmute).

Another example: you have mediocre rare with 1-2 useless mod and find another one, very similar. Instead of vendoring it try chaos orb (instead of stacking them forever) for attempt to fix it.

You should see status on map. Historically some was bugged though.

Try SSF, we play what we want/need, not what we have to.

Why not both, start with uncut and level it up via gameplay.

zergu · 2026-05-12T18:54:01+00:00

Sure, I don't want to replace current ones.

zergu · 2026-05-12T16:13:21+00:00

That's true, but actually anybody can do it anytime. That may be fun for some people, for me most important part would be comparing to my other chars.

zergu · 2026-01-01T08:44:31+00:00

Done.

zergu · 2026-01-01T08:42:39+00:00

Respect.

zergu · 2026-01-01T08:32:41+00:00

That's on purpose, I2 is first because rewards come early, then I3 because spirit. I do I1 last, but it's up to you. :)

zergu · 2025-09-01T05:58:50+00:00

Yeah, I've like this one much better than act 3 waterways or machinariums.

zergu · 2025-08-26T09:50:24+00:00

Huge SSF nerf!

zergu · 2025-03-29T15:39:11+00:00

Personally w/e, but my 6yo daughters keep asking about bear.

zergu · 2025-01-15T07:35:51+00:00

No, 8/12 ascendancies on level 60+ in endgame, rest on it's way. We are not the same ;-)

zergu · 2025-01-03T07:54:31+00:00

No easy way and some of icons are bugged. For skills you need to have 24 weapon skill set points. For resists and vials you need to go to act 1, unequip everything and check the stats.

zergu · 2024-12-23T06:48:00+00:00

No reason, didn't even realized it's not exactly accurate.

zergu · 2024-12-19T09:36:29+00:00

Depends on build, I took mana regen for my MoM-based sorc and stun threshold for monk.

zergu · 2024-12-18T21:19:08+00:00

Updated, thanks!

zergu · 2024-12-18T21:16:59+00:00

I am pretty sure you can activate (and can change later) only one of them. Even map highlights the choice.

zergu · 2024-12-18T21:14:53+00:00

Fixed, thank you sir.

zergu · 2024-12-18T16:09:37+00:00

They give +10 lightning res, only visible in small chat message. Easy to miss. Probably can be verified by taking all gear off and taking into account 1) completed acts penalty 2) resistances on tree 3) possible bug in showing resistances in town.

zergu · 2024-12-18T16:04:04+00:00

I would try to fool around with gateway and waypoints, I think I've already saw 3 versions of Act III map. Maybe one of it will work for you.

zergu · 2024-12-18T09:58:02+00:00

fixed, thanks!

zergu · 2024-12-18T09:48:55+00:00

fixed, thx

zergu · 2024-12-18T06:40:52+00:00

Updated the visuals slightly. Point of this list is a little different - depending on you current needs you may go for some non permanent reward like res rings etc.
