Acts quick guide

The Acts quick guide helps players complete the Acts in the the fastest and most efficient manner. It is designed for experienced players who have completed the Acts at least once and are aware of the game mechanics. Therefore we do not cover basic gameplay aspects in this guide.

This guide includes:
 * All Book of Skill Quests
 * All Trials
 * All minor and major Gods (to fully unlock The Pantheon)
 * Kills all Bandits (optional, you can save the bandit of your choice as per your build guide)

This guide does not include:
 * All Book of Regrets Quests, because regret points can be easily obtained through s.

Unique items
The following gear is helpful while leveling during the Acts, as they are cheap items that provide significant boosts, and can be worn from a low level onwards. These are not necessarily required, and players with no currency can simply use the gear that drops during the Acts, and linked gear purchased from town vendors.

Self-crafted items
Players can use vendor recipes to easily craft weapons that are required for leveling, if they have no currency to purchase items, or if they are playing in SSF mode (solo self-found).

To do this, simply sell the items in the "Recipe" column to any vendor at any town, in order to receive the item in the "Result" column.

Terminology

 * "WP" means Waypoint - use a Waypoint at a town to quickly navigate to the location
