You can, you just have to do it individually. Then he will salvage and give you the gems back.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

It's the summer sale when Blizzard gives Diablo II and III and all its DLC for $20. I bit. It'll be great to have it all on the go.

I learned to sell, to store, to salvage, I did a few quests. Level 15. Going to do sidequests until I'm like level 50 then rejoin the campaign.

I joined a couple randos for a couple minutes killing enemies before rejoining my quest. If unrelated people in the overmap kill some enemies who gets the gold whoever gets to it first?

Yeah, I came back later on, and the box opened up.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I snagged this for $42 new and was really excited for the first few hours. Now I’m really feeling burnt out. Level 26 Necromancer. More than halfway through each of acts I-III.

The color palette just bores me to tears. I remember Diablo III being more vibrant and the Monk class I last played a lot more fun.

If I’m this bored now should I just offload the game locally for what I paid and go back to finally finishing Diablo III instead?

Purely up to individuals on playing D3 or D4.....D3 was fun and had it's moments but it really spoiled the masses with the almost endless loot system and some saying the color pallet system was a bit too much....D4 has gone back to the Diablo Roots that has been praised by Diablo Lore enthusiasts for more gritty, dark and a less rain-from-the-sky loot system that hasn't thrilled the D3 Crowd. On day I'll go back and play some of D3 but the entire look and feel of D4 is so much better....

The one thing I do that helps kick it up a notch is switch it to 4K HDR "Game" mode on my display. Looks terrific.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I was going around finding the circles and I found someone and found out how to say hello they said hi I invited them to party like it was 1999 Then we hooked up with a third, killed some monsters, did a dungeon, got myself to level 20, they gave me their usernames to add them later when I figured out how.

Not gonna lie, party hunting was fantastic.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I'm at level 53. I also figured out ( a few days ago) how to salvage individual legendary items that have full sockets. All of that helped me upgrade all of my equipped legendary gear. I'm maxed out in armor and my weapons. The only pain in the ass is that I have yet to be able to source those prisms for creating sockets on gear that does not have them.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I am level 52. Recently got into WT III.
I am running a druid build with maxed out poison creeper, ravens and wolves. I just got the aspect that turns my wolves into werewolves and it's great. I feel like I am getting quite a bit more damage output, especially in mobs.

I'm glad you got that going...I tried it and struggled but it was Levels 25-35....but I couldn't find any gear that helped the abilities. I'm a fan of Poison Creeper, it's one of the best, strongest AOE's in the game basically running in circles kiting enemies and throw it out there...but I'm running a Pulverize All Werebear except I use it and not Roar...then slam Pulverize down and that's it....I've picked up more Legendries for other abilities with at least three meant for perfectly a Storm Wolf build with Lighting and Shred buffs...like to give it a go but right at Level 50 and I'm surviving far more than before.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I forget what gear perks I have but as a Barbarian with all legendary armor/weapons equipped now, half of them have full sockets with skulls, I have a really high tolerance for poisons. There are times where I get mobbed up by spiders and those fat fucks that explode into pools of toxic waste, and I am left relatively unscathed.

No wonder people who run Shadowmancer want the “Howl from Below” unique so badly. I incorporated the glove into my character, now who needs the resistance when I can just spam corpse explosions and destroy enemies that are not even on screen.

Re: DIABLO IV: Xbox Consoles, PS Consoles & PC - 6/5/23

I'm level 28 but it feels like the monsters are leveling faster than I am. At level 1 the monsters wouldn't even get to me before my ranged attacks and minions took care of them. Now I got minions and spirits and better gear and weapons and attacks and they're getting to me. I actually bailed on a quest, Apex of Misery, Destroy the Risen Remains. It's one of those whose level is whatever level you are. I was getting beaten down and you can't really pause and read so I left upped my potions back to 5, tried again, was losing again, so I bailed until I could read and figure out how to approach it later. But now I'm just going around the map to level up some more. But I feel just walking around killing stuff should feel the same at any level but it's getting harder the more I level up.

I spent 10 hours getting 100k gold and all I got was an arm armor and a better armor

Also I keep doing these events where I have to guide a lost soul to their loved one for Mastery and I can never find the loved one.

I just got a rare armor drop that gives me 3 extra healing potions!
​​​​​​ I need a good aspect to slap on it.

There's usually a circle of light you can stand in and kill the creatures until it times down. The soul won't necessarily find peace, but will react to the soul that left them behind in real life.

Ohhh thanks I'll try that, I led them to the light but then they would go back to where they had been standing, I'll stand there next time when the timer is zero, thanks!

Those Toxic Pools are a pain to everyone no matter what Damage reduction you have....it just whittles down your health period....if issues with damage reduction...alot since us Barbs are in the middle of it...get Challenging Shout at least on the bar...I run two Shouts for now along with Lunging Strike (great closer) Whirlwind as main damage dealer, War Cry and Rallying Cry, Leap as a Get Out and Damage Dealer, tons of defensive passives, cry buffs and Berseker as ultimate. The Crys are barbs best friend period helping on damage and defensive ...

It's a balance of Armor, Health, Damage Reduction and Damage Output along with finding a few pcs that have ability perks/buffs....you can't kill enemies dead as the saying goes....and it matters a lot as to the class and build using the Skills and passives together. At Level T1, shouldn't be a problem at all no matter the class....but how gear drops at T1 is different than what it does at T2 and T2 is different than T3....sounds like you're running a Summoner Necromancer and frankly it's the easiest start out class out there. This actual written guide for leveling is solid and good explain why on skills and passives.....

However, I did not go with Corpse Explosion but instead went with Deceptive Curse. Curses to Necros are like Shouts to Barbs, essential, helpful. Some like iron Maiden but Deceptive Slows down enemies alot and if you can find and get buffs that make attack speed on your Minions go up...it's a good deal....And Shadow Damage is way underestimated....just play around but remember, Your Minions Are Your Damage Dealers, Not You...

On tier 1 once you get leveled up with good gear the game becomes pretty easy. I was never below 2/3 of full health when I fought Lilith last night.

I was shocked how much of a cakewalk Lilith was. I was expecting a challenge for the end boss.

The Summoner Necromancer is okay at the early level. That was my initial build and Decrepify does help but it’s a pain resurrecting your Minions all the time. On T4, this build is useless unless you have the Ring of Medlen unique ring which buffs your Minions.

For the end game, Bone or Shadow Damage is where it’s up. Even Blood build is not efficient for T4.
