Before I get into things people may know lets start with a few that most players do not know.

1. Bind " Move to" to left right click if you choose to use spells. This will prevent you from getting trapped in a pack of mobs while trying to move away from or through a pack of mobs.




2. Devotion points can be removed from the starting nodes, if the further node grants the "Affinitie" requirements to support its own self.

EG if a Constellations grants 4 Green "Affinitie" but requires 4 Green "Affinitie" you will need to acquire 4 Green then allocate the full Constellation. At this point you can remove all other Green "Affinitie" and go for other nodes saving you devotion points used to acquire this Constellation.

Image shows almost no points are used on interior Constellations.

3. Tired of clicking to pick up components and light pink crafting materials. Good you never had too. (It's NOT enabled by default)




4. Want all factions revered but you got to make a choice?

Pick Different one on each Difficulty of the game.



5. Use Shared stash tab for materials. Icon highlighted Auto moves components to tab.




6. Best & quickest way to get iron bits is to sell green items.



7. Use your second bar as your buff bar Press " Y " to swap between the bars. (default)



8. When Crafting your 1st time you should be aware that each blacksmith gives an EXTRA stat to the item based on where it was crafted. Generally Homestead is the safest for an overall Solid gain.

9. Trying to finish a set but keep finding same items? You can use the inventor to transmute the item into another piece of the same set.




10. Quickest Legendary item farming is Totems(mob shrines) + keys. NOT CRUCIBLE, CRUCIBLE IS SLOW.

Some items have SPECIFIC DROP LOCATIONS. These items will drop only on a specific mob/boss/event(Secret(s)).

I was asked to make a guide for beginners I will continue to make additions in the following days. If there is something specific you think should be included i'd appreciate the feedback.
