D4 - 10 Things I Wish I Knew Sooner ( Diablo 4 )

hey guys it's lucky here and today we're going to go over the things I wish I knew sooner when I was playing Diablo 4. these are the things where I got like two days into the Beta a day into the Beta and I thought to myself oh man I wish I had known that yesterday or the day before that would have made that so much easier that would have made that so much better it would have saved me a ton of currency or a ton of time these are the types of items I'm gonna cover in this video the things that you're very likely to miss or not notice if you haven't played Diablo 4 yet or even if you have it's very possible you missed at least one of the things on this list probably more than one for a lot of people so let's dive in the first thing that I wish I knew sooner is that when you find an aspect that you want in your codex one of the things that you can do without leaving the Codex is click on that aspect and then have the Codex pin that location on the map for you so that you can just follow the line that it puts on your minimap to get to that dungeon where the aspect is that you would like to farm this is gonna be great when you're searching through your codex looking for useful aspects and you find one and you're wondering where the heck that thing is located the next one is a quick one as well it's the silent chest so there's gonna be silent chess located throughout the world here and there and the unique thing about these is that you can't open them without a whispering key and you get the whispering keys from the gamble Merchant in town so you go to town you spend 20 Opals on a whispering key and then you can open the next silent chest that you run into now in the beta the silent chests didn't have great drop rates so I found it less useful to spend my ovals on these keys so that I could open the chests instead I found it more useful to spend my Opals gambling for specific pieces of gear I needed now that's all completely subject to change so we're gonna have to test these out and go ahead and try it you know spend a few ovals on a few keys and that way you can open up the chest when you run into them if you find a chess out in the wild and you don't have the ovals on you there's a good chance that when you teleport back to town to buy your Whispering key that when you come back you'll have changed instances or the chest will have despawned and you won't be able to open it anymore so just be aware of that fact that that can happen you go back to town to get the key so if you want to open one of those when you find one make sure you have the key already on new that way you can just open it up without having to go back to town the next one's actually really handy especially once your build starts ramping up and you start killing things really fast or if you have a lot of dots that kill things in your wake so you're running you're killing something you run to the next Bank you kill it and you might be sitting there scanning the floor every time you kill a pack of mobs making sure that you didn't leave a legendary or making sure that last guy that died in the pack didn't leave a legendary on the ground before you move on blizzard has set it up such that when a legendary drops if you leave it behind it's going to show up in your missed items tab of your stash in town this also works for caches that bosses dropped so you can play stress-free you can zoom from pack to pack killing enemies without worrying about what they dropped and worrying about missing a legendary on the map it is possible to see a legendary on the map if you open it up if you are worried that something's on the floor behind you and you just want to check while you're in the dungeon just press M you know open the map there will be a little orange star on the map if there's a legendary back there now Diablo 4 follows a great story about the Romantic relationship between anarius and Lilith and The Offspring they have had while they were together

pinned comment below will receive a free legendary female Titan Warrior thanks for listening let's get back to the video the next item we'll talk about is the butcher because he's become quite Infamous in Diablo 4 so let's make sure that you understand how the butcher works and why the butcher is important he's gonna randomly spawn in any dungeon or seller in the game so if you want to run into him just keep entering Dungeons and sellers and eventually you will he'll be in there waiting for you you'll know it because you'll hear large chains rattling and you'll hear these big Bassy footsteps pounding the ground ahead of you that means the butcher's coming up and he's coming at you fast now the reason you want to run into the butcher is because he's a guaranteed legendary every time you kill him he will give you at least one legendary at least that was the case on the beta whenever we killed him no matter who killed him we always got a legendary it was very very useful one of the things to know about how the butcher works is if you die or if you leave the area he will despawn he'll leave and you won't be able to kill them so do what you have to do to kill him hide him you know get him snagged on objects pillars Gates fences his AI on the beta wasn't brilliant it was kind of easy to get him stuck behind something like a chest use those treasure chests if there's a treasure chest go ahead and take advantage of that I was able to get him stuck behind one of those for a while and wail on him pretty safely there's a lot of ways to out smarten the butcher you know he's a big hunky piece of meat but he's not very intelligent so use your Superior intelligence to take him down if your strength isn't quite ready to do the job just yet one of the things that I totally Miss on my first day of playing on a couple of my characters was that I could press s or shift s and bring up my class specific menu and for the Barbarian this was the Arsenal system where you could assign certain weapons to certain abilities on the necro you could open up your Book of the Dead and assign points to decide which necros you summoned and what passives they had attached to them and this just kind of nonchalantly happens and it becomes an option for your character pretty early on especially on some classes so definitely like every once in a while make sure that you check in on that button and you open up your class specific Skillman menu system and you look in there and see oh can I assign skills to weapons yet can I assign passives can I turn on my combo points if I'm a rogue can I do my class quest which brings us to the next point every class is going to have some class quests that are going to be massive massive power boost for your character some of the biggest power boosts in the entire game it's important that you take care of these as soon as possible they're going to be light blue quests that appear in your journal and on your map so as soon as those pop up they're going to be basically a priority quest which means they're going to be a class Quest or they're going to be a crafting Quest or something like that and they are definitely a priority and should be treated as such definitely do those as soon as you can you're going to be able to do things like upgrade your potions which are going to vastly improve their strength you're going to be able to do things like unlock incredibly powerful build altering passives for your class definitely do those priority quests as soon as they pop up next let's talk about how you're going to unlock your Mount because I know this is going to be a really popular question for a lot of players way you unlock your Mount is actually by sticking to the main story so it's going to be important in Diablo for that you have a nice balance of doing the main story and deviating from the main story and we'll go over why it's going to be really important to deviate from the main story in a moment but right now let's talk about why it's important to do the main story when you do the main story there's a couple things that you get out of that and one of those is you're going to unlock your Mount and you're going to get there around level 30. that's what blizzard estimates right around level 30 give or take you're gonna get to the point in the story Quest where you can unlock your Mount so you definitely want to do that because you're going to be spending a ton of time running around in the open world and having amounts to kind of expedite the to and from that you're going to be doing is going to feel really good something to know about the mounts in Diablo 4 and they're going to be giving away a mount skin when the game launches all you got to do is watch a streamer and donate two subs to them and hey if you're looking for someone to donate Subs to in order to get your Mount skin I'll be there you can also watch the stream and not donate anything and you'll unlock a ton of other Cosmetics weapon cosmetics and stuff like that just by being present in the Stream during the launch week of Diablo 4. so definitely consider swinging by my stream at twitch.tv lucky ghost if you want to dabble in any of those Cosmetics or just hang out and have a good time now let's talk about why it's important to deviate from the main story Quest and that is there's going to be a lot of things that you can do in the world let's start with the event Quest you're going to see a lot of orange circles on the map as you're running from A to B you'll see an orange circle pop up and you might be tempted you're like oh man I'm really curious about what's going to happen next in the story or I'm really excited to get to this dungeon and you might be tempted to just bypass that orange circle but go ahead and run to that orange circle instead and complete it you want to do as many of these that pop up on your way to somewhere without having to go seek them out as possible because they're going to give you a lot of really good stuff they give you a ton of experience they give you great drops and they're going to give you rafting materials and they're going to give you Opals your gambling currency all of these things you're going to get tons of just by doing these orange vents that randomly pop up on your map so definitely take a second to do those they don't usually take longer than maybe 30 seconds or a minute to finish them they go by really fast so go ahead and knock them out a lot of times you'll get lucky you'll run up and the people that are already there finishing it finish the second you step up to it you basically spent one second participating but you get 100 of the rewards so it's always worth peeking in knocking it out and getting those rewards another reason to deviate from the main story is going to be dungeons if you do nothing but the main story quests you are going to get a very rare legendary there's a guaranteed legendary for example from doing the main story Quest right around level 20 or 25 you'll probably get that guaranteed legendary in the main story Quest but outside of that my luck anecdotally with the main story Quest and the people that I talked to was that drops were really low when participating solely in the main story content and the opposite was true for my friends that all went out and did Dungeons and kind of ignored the main story quests in the last week event they got tons of legendaries like three four five legendaries on their way to level 20 whereas I got zero outside of the main story Quest legendary that was given to me so it's gonna be very very beneficial to deviate from the main story to go out and do those dungeons not just for the legendaries that you're going to get from doing that and the Chance encounters with the butcher but also from all of the aspects that you're going to unlock by going to the dungeons that are relevant to your build so definitely take advantage of that those are massive massive power gains that you can get from those aspects in fact there's one right here that's going to be useful for every class for instance every build should go down to the southwestern part of the map it's right where you start it's one of the first dungeons you unlock and do this dungeon as soon as they are able to and this is going to unlock an aspect that gives them a shield every time they encounter an elite and this includes bosses so this is incredibly useful incredibly powerful for every build it's great for World boss fights boss fights and Elite encounters everybody's gonna want this for some portion of their leveling experience on all of their characters so definitely go down and grab this one and there's a ton of other aspects that are just as useful as this and more for your builds and if you're not sure which ones those are check out my written guide Linked In the description below where I I show you which aspects are going to be relevant to your build and which dungeon to run to to get that aspect another thing that I wish I knew is that you could respect unlimited for free all the way up until level five so from one to five make sure you try out all of the abilities try all of your basic texts try all of your core abilities just get a feel for how they feel and the passives that are attached to them see how those feel play around with those up until level five because it's free after five then you're gonna have to start paying for it it's a trivial amount of gold to be honest after level five it's still very very small so feel free to mess around after level five but definitely take advantage of it while it's free in order to unspec from a skill all you've got to do is right click on it that pulls the point out and then you click where you want to put that point back into another thing that I found later on was putting a pin on the map whenever I was going to a quest that was really far away Not only would it give me the shortest path to that location but sometimes there was bog of war in between me and my destination and I wouldn't be sure like if I go this way am I going to run into a cliff face am I going to get stuck in a dead end what's going to happen if you pin it it's going to lead you all the way to your destination whether or not you can see that area or the fog of War that's in that area that all it doesn't matter it's going to give you the fastest path to that destination so definitely utilize that especially since we don't have a map overlay on the screen right now that you can have open while you're running following your PIN is going to be the best way to get from A to B without having to constantly open your map to see where you are and where your destination is another thing I tested was flat stats like strength intelligence dexterity and how important those were how impactful they were early in the game so for the first 20 30 levels like is it worth it to worry about that stat on gear if it's there or if it's not and my answer is no it's not I tested it the amount of stats that you get early in the game they're so small it only slides your damage by 0.2.3.1 when you open up your stat sheet look at your damage numbers after you equip that kind of gear they barely move so if an item does have intelligence and you're wondering if you should replace it with something that doesn't because the other stats on that item are better absolutely don't worry about that stat don't worry about that core stat at low levels there's just not enough of it on the gear to really slide your damage in a meaningful way as opposed to the other flat stats like 20 increase damage to slowed enemies chilled enemies any of that kind of stuff where it's giving you large percentage values to certain types of enemies that's way more useful look for that kind of stuff another thing to be aware of about aspects is that they are 1X as powerful on all your gear you get One X of the aspect's power so if it says it's gonna give you a hundred you get a hundred if you put that aspect on your amulet then it's going to give you 50 increased value so 150 so that 100 would now be 150 and if you put it on a two-handed weapon that aspect is now 100 more powerful so it's going to give you 200 of that value so if it was going to give you 100 damage if you put it on the emulate it's now giving you 150 damage whenever it procs and if it was going to give you 100 damage and you put it on a two-ander it's now going to give you 200 damage instead so this is a bit of a kiss curse type of situation situation you can put it on your two-handed weapon and it's going to be incredibly powerful however then you're going to be locked into a two-handed weapon that you are very likely going to want to replace every you're going to be replacing your weapon a lot early on so it might be smarter to instead of putting a good legendary aspect on your two-ander put it on your amulet instead because you can sit on a mediocre amulet for a long time and it's not going to make a big deal but most of your damage is going to come from your weapon and so it's very important that when you get five levels higher and the weapon stats are five levels better you can put that on and that's going to be a drastic improvement to your character's damage output another quick one just in case you forgot it you can open up your wheel and you can select leave dungeon whenever you're in a dungeon alternatively if you don't like using your wheel you can just open up your map and click on the door to the dungeon that is located on the map and that'll also take you up to the front of the dungeon now another thing to be aware of is the Alters of Lilith we kind of are all aware of the fact that they exist out there right now but another thing to kind of know about them is besides giving you those those flat stats like two to strength two to intelligence all of that and giving you a little bit of renown which is very important they also give you increased oval capacity So Random Alters located all around the world are going to give you increased oval capacity which is going to be very nice to have your opal capacity is going to fill up really fast you start with a very small oval capacity so grabbing all of these Alters is going to be great for this character and all your other characters are going to benefit from that opal capacity increase as well so your odds your main all of them are going to get that as well as all the stats which are nice they're not going to feel quite as impactful as the oval capacity until you've collected a lot of them all right if you've made it this far into the video hopefully that means you're enjoying the video if that's the case you're going to love my second YouTube channel it's linked down in the description below it's 100 Diablo 100 of the time be sure to check that out all right let's get back to this video while we're on the topic of renown go ahead and make sure that you grab all of the strongholds on the map these are going to give you 100 Renown each that is considerably more than any other activity in the game a Dungeons are going to give you 30 waypoints are going to give you 20 discovering new locations is going to give you five very tiny amounts compared to what one stronghold will give you and strongholds always have mobs that are two levels higher which means they have great drops for you you're not going to be farming items that are level 25 when you're 25 you're gonna get items that are level 27 and Beyond very useful to farm strongholds for good gear it's also going to be very useful to farm them for the Renown that they give you definitely take advantage of those strongholds by doing that and by getting that Renown you're going to increase your potion capacity your opal capacity and you're also going to increase your skill points that your main character and all of your alts have another thing to be aware of is that you're going to get a skill point every time you level all the way up to level 50. at level 50 you're going to stop getting skill points and you're going to start getting what are called Paragon points every quarter of a level instead so it's going to be really useful to kind of make sure that as you approach 50 you've got points in all the things that you wanted to unlock that's kind of where you start running out of points you're going to have something like 58 points at that point in your character's life when you get to about level 50 and it's time to do that Capstone dungeon that you don't have to do it right away you can out level it it's a static difficulty kind of test that is set in front of you so if you go in there at 45 or 50 or whatever level you run into that Capstone dungeon and you struggle feel free to leave and come back when your character's more ready for it it's one of the few places in the game that doesn't level when you level another thing I wish I knew sooner is that you could go watch Lucky ghost at twitch.tv lucky ghost and he will answer every single question that you have about Diablo 4 anytime he's looking for company and he'd appreciate having
