Since the progression of the monk items is really offensive, an early setup of Moratorium (L25 only) + Molten Wildebeests Gizzard (Upgrade as you want) is the ultimate early game defensive duo that will hard carry you until the point you don’t need it anymore. I highly recommend double defensive gems for now. Legacy of Dreams is mandatory, as mentioned in the basics segment! Level this up as much as you can. Get them and level them quickly – do not feel pressured to “maximize” your rift keys by inflating the difficulty. Just get repeat the cycle of Nephalem Rift for a Key -> Do a Greater Rift until you get them, and do the absolute minimum level you need to level them up. Your next goal should be getting at least L25 on your three most important gems. What three Legendary gems? L25 them ASAP. Advertisements Generic Starter build (slightly related to our ‘final build’) S24 Fresh 70 Monk BASIC BUILD Ultimately you need two things right now: The actual LoD gem, and a basic build to get you going. Step 1) Initial Build & Getting Legacy of Dreamsĭon’t get stressed out, yes, LoD builds might seem a little daunting but let me tell you that it’s a fun and exciting process. – Complete Altar of Rites and Seasonal Journey along the way. – Get to a point where you’re speedfarmy enough to branch out to any build. – Continue to farm core items to improve your LoD WoL build. Instead, check out the leveling guides if you’re not 70 yet and somehow found yourself here.įor this guide we have a few couple overarching steps that dictate our plan. While this notably changes the leveling pattern quite a bit, we won’t be talking about it here. While it may seem unexciting at first, the bonuses all pile up to become wildly out of hand. These range from the wildly exciting “Pets can pick up and salvage white, blue, and yellow gear”, to basic stat increases like 15% dodge. It’s kind of like a passive skill tree from other games. In return, each specific node grants you a passive power corresponding to the seal you unlocked. IE, Unlock 5 will cost the same no matter if you went down one path or the other. These increase in difficulty for each step of the way, regardless of which path you choose. For each node (“seal”) you want to unlock, you need to sacrifice a specific set of items to unlock a seal. The Altar of Rites is unlocked from the get-go.

I made a separate Altar of Rites guide because it’s there’s a few choices and timings you want to know about. S28’s unique mechanic is the Altar of Rites.
