Class Overview

A classic and well-known class in the entirety of the RPG genre, the Sorceress focuses on dealing single elemental, combined elemental, or chaos damage, being an intelligence-based class benefiting from few other stats.

Having the option to choose and excel between the elements grants the Sorceress great versatility, using the Spirit for curses that will either enhance your capabilities, reduce the power of the enemies, or even for auto-casting spells on different occasions.

Class Archetype

Although Path of Exile 2 gives the player total control over the use of any weapon or skill in the game, the Sorceress is primarily a ranged-based class that makes use of distance with potent curses and tremendous spells that will annihilate any monster that crosses your path.

The ranged variant offers a wide variety of playstyle options, including the ability to combine the suggested Elemental and Occult skill trees.

Class Resource

Just like any other class in the game, the Sorceress has resources that she will burn to use her skills, as follows:

  • Mana – Maybe the most common resource in any video game, the Sorceress is a very mana-dependant and mana-hungry class, using it for most of the spells in her arsenal. The Mana can also be used as a defensive layer before the Life, just like the Energy Shield, if specced in the proper passive key node.
  • Spirit – Also a universal resource, the Spirit is used for auto-cast spells and passive buffs that will enhance her prowess.

Damage Type

As we've already discussed, the Sorceress is a class that excels in a variety of damage types, as follows:

  • Elemental Damage – The Sorceress can excel in dealing any type of Elemental Damage right from the start, using any skills from the elemental skill gem tree, while also being able to convert any kind of damage into another using the passive skill tree. Combining elemental types is also a strong suit for the Sorceress, adding extra damage capabilities to her arsenal.
  • Chaos Damage – Like the elemental types of damage, Chaos damage can also be obtained by converting other types of damage into it, dealing significant amounts of damage since monsters don't have chaos resistance, unlike elemental resistances.
  • Extra Elemental/Chaos Damage – You can easily deal more types of damage by using the "Gain #% of Damage as Extra Element/Chaos Damage" affix to ensure that no monster with a particular element resistance gets in your way.
  • Add Damage to Attacks – You can also vary the type of damage you deal by using the "Adds # to # Type of damage to Attacks" modifier, but the Sorceress doesn't gain much from this as it only applies to physical attacks and not spells.

Sorceress Weapons

Although the Sorceress can equip every kind of weapon in the game, the following are the most powerful:

  • StaffThe only useful two-handed weapon for the Sorceress, the Staff will provide affixes with greater values than the wand & focus combo but offers less versatility.
  • WandMaybe the most used weapon by the Sorceress, the Wand provides great affixes and versatility, combining its powers with Focus, Scepters, and, in some isolated cases, even with Shields.
  • Focus – This offhand is best suited for caster builds because it is focused on dealing more damage with spells. The focus' sole implicit modifier provides the player with a flat value Energy Shield in addition to damage-oriented use.
  • Scepter – The only weapon that offers Spirit as a choice, it is beneficial for auto-casting spells and arming yourself with curses and buffs. Blink is also a perfect choice when spending your Spirit, requiring 60 Spirit to start with. The Scepter can also be used for support builds if the aim is for group play.
  • Bow & Quiver – Used in very isolated cases, the Bow & Quiver combo is mainly composed of an extremely powerful quiver and the Widowhail Crude Bow, which raises the power of the quiver tremendously. As added information, it is imperative to use a Vaal Orb on the Widowhail to further increase the percentage of the increased bonuses.

Strengths and Weaknesses

The Sorceress has several strengths and weaknesses, just like every other class in the game, which we will review in the next chapter.

Strengths

  • High Versatility – The Sorceress, one of the most adaptable classes in the game, is exceptionally skilled at dealing all kinds of damage, destroying enemies with elemental damage, and cursing monsters to lower their stats and resistances. Feel free to try different combinations with the Sorceress; there are no restrictions.
  • Strong Crowd Control – Being the master of the elements, the Sorceress can inflict ailments such as Freeze and Shock, which will stop the enemies coming towards you, rendering them useless for a short while, in which you can easily slay them.
  • Great Defensive Utility – While using the Spirit resource, the Sorceress is able to wield powerful curses that will reduce specific stats of the enemies, such as speed or resistances, making it easier to fight them.
  • Excellent Mobility – Most of the builds using the Sorceress will use the Blink skill gem, providing a better alternative to the dodge roll, with the only downside being the cooldown attached to it.

Weaknesses

While the Sorceress's strength might look great and make you want to jump straight into the game, we should also discuss the weaknesses of this class so you know what to expect.

  • Fragile – The Sorceress is more of a glass cannon class than others. The majority of builds prioritize damage to the passive tree and equipment, with Energy Shield and resistances coming in second.
  • Very Resource Hungry – Despite their initial low cost, with higher-level spells, the cost rapidly increases towards the early endgame. Having a lot of Mana and mana regeneration rate modifiers on gear and the passive tree is required to counteract this.
  • Buff Management – Considering that the Sorceress constantly wields buffs and debuffs to the enemies, the timing is imperative to the scale of power and survivability.
  • Requires constant positioningPositioning is crucial during every battle, and since the Sorceress is more fragile than other classes, a low action-per-minute playstyle is inappropriate.

Stats Priority

  • IntelligenceThe most valuable attribute for the Sorceress by far, it complements the spell skills very well while not providing Damage to them. It is required for most equipment that grants Energy Shield and two Mana for each INT point you have. For every five intelligence points, you will gain a Support Gem Capacity point, raising the number of support gems with INT requirements you can use for your build.
  • Strength – Beneficial for very squishy builds; it allows the players to use Armour that grants either Armour or, in combination with the INT attribute, will enable equipping Armour that grants Armour and Energy Shield. It provides two Life for every point you have and offers a STR-based Support Gem Capacity point for every five Strength.
  • Dexterity – Least valuable attribute for the Sorceress, the dexterity opens the possibility to equip Armour that grants Evasion Rating. For every point of dexterity spent, you gain five accuracy rating; for every five points, you gain a dexterity-based Support Gem Capacity point.

Each attribute mentioned above will also be required for equipping skills, support gems, and persistent buff skill gems, depending on the gem type (color of the skill) and the skill level.

Sorceress Ascendancies

At this time, Path of Exile 2's Early access provided us with two of the three Sorceress Ascendancies that will be available at the full release of the game.

In the center of the passive tree, the Ascendancy — also referred to as the subclass — allows you to further modify your build and increase its power. It's unlocked in Act 2 after conquering the Trial of the Sekhemas, with 2 Ascendancy Points as the reward.

During the "Legacy of the Vaal" quest in Act 3, you will encounter Xyclucian, the Chimera, in the Chimera Wetlands. After slaying this boss, you will obtain an Inscribed Ultimatum, allowing you access to the Trial of Chaos, which will be the next big challenge, rewarding the player with another 2 Ascendancy points as a prize.

Completing the Trial of the Sekhemas and Trial of Chaos at a significantly higher difficulty level, at least area lv 75+, will yield the remaining four Ascendancy Points. These will be very difficult if you don't have a fully optimized endgame build, so save your Inscribed Ultimatums and Djinn Baryas.

Note: Once chosen, the Ascendancy is permanent, and there is no way to change it.

Chronomancer


chronomancer ascendancy

Wielding extreme powers, the Chronomancer is a time-manipulating Ascendancy, gaining new skills that will aid in dealing enormous amounts of damage in the shortest possible time while granting its fair share of defensive stats.

  • Quicksand Hourglass – Every 12 seconds, gain 50% more Cast Speed for 4 seconds. It is a great passive, enabling you to deal incredible damage but only for a third of the time. Keeping your combos or skill spams until the Cast Speed increases can be tedious but manageable.
  • Circular Heartbeat – 30% of Damage taken Recouped as Life. It's not the best choice, considering that the monsters must go through your Energy Shield first for this node to be useful, adding minimal survivability in extreme danger.
  • The Rapid River – Recoup Effects instead occur over 4 seconds.
  • Apex of the Moment – Enemies in your Presence are Slowed by 20%. It is a good choice for maintaining distance and can be combined with the Temporal Chains skill gem for an even higher percentage.
  • Footprints in the Sand – Grants Skill: Temporal Rift - Passively leaves afterimages of your recent past. Cast the Spell to return to the oldest afterimage, teleporting to that location and resetting your Life, Mana, and Energy Shield to the values they had at the time. This skill might be the best survivability skill in the game, the only problem being one-shots.
  • Ultimate Command – Grants Skill: Time Freeze - Releases a large wave that stops time for all affected enemies for a duration. Duration is lower the more times the enemy has had time stopped for them. Arguably the second-best survivability skill in the game, it will help you escape even the harshest situations without being touched.
  • Now and Again – Skills have a 33% chance to not consume a Cooldown when used. Incredible passive, it will allow the player to deal even more damage while providing more survivability when the chance occurs on the other skills mentioned above.
  • Unbound Encore – Grants Skill: Time Snap - Manipulates time, resetting the cooldowns of your other Skills. Even with the high cooldown timer, this insane skill will help the Chronomancer's tremendous kit in every way.

In our experience in Path of Exile 2, we took Footprints in the Sand, Ultimate Command, Now and Again, and Unbound Encore for three extremely powerful skills that will raise your powers to new heights and offer you a way to stop the enemies in their path if they manage to pass through your attacks.

Stormweaver


stormweaver ascendancy

Wielding the power of the elements, the Stormweaver will manipulate them in its favor, being able to deal incredible damage while also gaining significant defensive and utility stats.

  • Heart of the Storm – 40% of Elemental Damage taken Recouped as Energy Shield. It's good for added survivability but only converts the elemental damage and will not overflow the Energy Shield, so it can be easily replaced.
  • Constant Gale – You have Arcane Surge - Grants 10% more Cast Speed and 20% more Mana Regeneration Rate. The best choice for any Stormweaver, the Arcane Surge grants insane scalability when combined with the next Ascendancy node.
  • Force of Will – 1% increased Effect of Arcane Surge on you per 15 maximum Mana. Incredible scalability since maximum Mana can reach over 4000, it will provide more than 200% bonus to Arcane Surge, granting a great buff.
  • Strike Twice – Targets can be affected by two of your Shocks at the same time. 50% less Shock Duration. One of the best choices for the Stormweaver, as it will provide a great damage buff.
  • Shaper of Storms – All Damage from Hits Contributes to Shock Chance.
  • Heavy Snows – Targets can be affected by two of your Chills at the same time. Your Chills can Slow targets by up to a maximum of 35%. Also, 25% less Magnitude of Chill you inflict.
  • Shaper of Winter – All Damage from Hits Contributes to Chill Magnitude.
  • Tempest Caller – Trigger Elemental Storm on Critical Hit with Spells. Grants Skill: Elemental Storm - Creates a stationary Fire, Cold, or Lightning storm at a target location for a duration, based on the highest Elemental Damage type for the Hit that Triggered the storm. Hits which do not deal Elemental Damage will not Trigger the storm.
  • Rain Dancer – Elemental Storm has 150% more Cooldown Recovery Rate.
  • Scouring Winds – Exposure you inflict lowers the affected Resistance by an additional 20%. Great damage buffer, a must for most of the Stormweaver builds.

When tested, we took the Constant Gale, Force of Will, Strike Twice, and Scouring Winds for a lot of resource regeneration from the Arcane Surge and incredible debuffs to the enemies, raising the damage you inflict tremendously.

What is the best Sorceress Ascendancy?

There's no way we can decide which Ascendancy is the best since each Sorceress Ascendancy will suit a particular build and playstyle and has advantages and disadvantages. Choosing the Ascendancy based on your preferences will be your best choice.

Passive Skill Tree


sorceress passive tree

The passive tree will differ depending on the build you might've chosen, be it a leveling or an endgame guide. As a general rule, you should minimize point waste, as there are few, and the passive tree is huge.

Starting Location on the Passive Tree

The starting location for the Sorceress is the top of the middle circle, with great choices right from the start, such as:

  • % increased Spell Damage
  • % increased Cast Speed
  • % increased Mana Regeneration Rate
  • % increased maximum Energy Shield
  • % increased Critical Hit Chance for Spells
  • % increased Elemental Damage and % increased chance to Elemental Ailment

Even if all these starting nodes look very useful, don't spend all the passive points you have at the start of the tree. Nodes found further in the passive tree will provide more powerful choices and diverse affixes. Ideally, an endgame build will only use the best starting points as a way to get toward the key passive nodes and the most useful nodes found all over the tree.

Aside from the Passive Point gained through level-ups, you can also obtain 24 more by completing some side-quests and killing a few area bosses, so keep an eye out for them. The objectives are clearly visible on the map, with a "+" next to the corresponding icon, making it simple to monitor your progress.

Note: Keep in mind that you are not restricted to the top of the passive tree. The only restrictions are the starting point and the number of passive points; otherwise, you can reach and obtain any node in the entire tree.

Key Passive Nodes

Depending on the build you intend to play, the most important Key Passive nodes will vary, but generally speaking, we advise acquiring the most helpful ones, like these:

  • Chaos Inoculation - Reduces your Maximum Life to 1 and grants you Immunity to chaos damage. It will remove the necessity of Chaos Resistance, allowing players to focus on elemental resistances and other defensive affixes.
  • Mind Over Matter - All Damage is taken from Mana before Life, 50% less Mana Recovery Rate. It provides insane survivability for builds that focus on stacking Mana, but not only for them, since most Sorceress builds will have high Mana pools.
  • Eternal Youth - Life Recharges instead of Energy Shield. Life Recovery from Flasks applies to Energy Shield instead. It is a very powerful node that will help you survive speedrunning maps since it's easier to stack very high amounts of Energy Shield.
  • Eldritch Battery - Converts all Energy Shield to Mana. Another significant node for Mana stacking builds, it works incredibly well combined with Mind over Matter, so you won't have to rely solely on your Life.

Keep in mind that taking more Key Passive Nodes around the start is not necessarily the best move; optimizing your build with other nodes is the way to go, and keeping the path to the desired nodes as short as possible is a must when trying to hit as many nodes as possible.

Best Sorceress Gems


sorceress elemental skill gems

We can only classify the gems as best for the corresponding build and discuss important synergies to go along with it, even though there isn't a best gem for the entire class or Ascendancy.

Best Sorceress Skill Gems

  • Spark + Flame Wall - One of the best combos in the game for map-wide clears, the Flame Wall adds fire damage to the Spark, making it very deadly. Adding support gems will make these Sparks fly all across the map, clearing everything without even coming close to you. The only downside to this build is the boss damage, which takes longer to ramp up than other builds and requires some positioning and dodging.
  • Fireball + Frost Wall - One of the more pleasing-to-see builds in the game, this incredible synergy will fill the screen with fireballs while also exploding the frost walls for more damage, melting every monster that may come across the screen. This combo works great for both clearing maps and killing bosses.
  • Frost Bolt + Eye of Winter + Comet - Another incredible option, combined with the Cast on Freeze Spirit Gem, will melt anything in the game, filling the screen with Comets everywhere. The Eye of Winter will inflict Critical Weakness for even more added damage, while Frostbolt will freeze anything it touches with just a few casts.

Best Sorceress Support Gems

As we have said before, there is no best gem for any category, with the Support Gems being no exception. Choosing your Support Gems will depend entirely on the Skill Gems chosen, the build chosen, and your playstyle. Knowing this, we will list the best support gems for the Skill Gems found in the Archmage Spark Stormweaver leveling build as follows:

Skill Gem Support Gems
Spark Inspiration
Acceleration
Conduction
Lightning Exposure
Overcharge
Cast on Shock Lightning Conduit
Impetus
Energy Retention
Elemental Focus
Controlled Destruction
Flame Wall Arcane Tempo
Spell Cascade
Fortress
Conductivity Hex Bloom
Heightened Curse
Focused Curse
Orb of Storms Magnified Effect
Font of Mana
Archmage Lightning Mastery

Note: If you can't find the support gems mentioned above, press the "All Gems" button found in the bottom-left corner of the skill gem menu.

Best Sorceress Spirit Gems

  • Cast on Freeze/Shock/Crit - Used for auto-casting a skill by placing the skill gem into a support gem slot. It will accumulate energy until reaching the max, casting the skill. Depending on the build chosen, the elemental ailment or critical hits will empower you greatly, helping out in clearing maps and killing bosses quickly.
  • Mana Remnants - Great resource generating choice; it has a 25% chance of spawning a Mana Remnant upon killing Shocked enemies and guaranteed spawn by critically hitting a Shocked enemy with a two-second cooldown. Picking up the Mana Remnants will restore a quantity of Mana, which is insanely good for builds like Spark that shock most enemies and require you to spam skills.
  • Grim Feast - An excellent defensive option, it has a 50% chance to spawn a Remnant when an enemy or minion dies, recovering a small amount of Energy Shield when picked up. The Energy Shield recovered from picking up the Remnants can overflow for up to 100% extra Energy Shield.
  • Archmage - Another incredible choice for increasing damage, the Archmage spirit gem will grant extra lightning damage percentage for every 100 maximum mana you have. This can be combined with key passive nodes such as Eldritch Battery and small ones that grant Maximum Energy Shield flat and percentage combined with Mana flat and percentage, alongside The Everlasting Gaze unique amulet, to maximize your potential fully. Also, a popular choice, along with the previously mentioned, is the Chaos Inoculation key passive, which will protect you entirely from Chaos Damage.

Best Sorceress Unique Items

  • Everlasting Gaze - Incredible choice for mana-hungry builds, this amulet will significantly raise the mana regeneration rate, allowing you to deal damage constantly.
  • Dream Fragments - Great choice for all mana spenders; it will raise the maximum mana and mana regeneration. You also cannot be chilled or frozen, which is a great defensive ability.
  • Ingenuity - Insane unique for most of the builds in the game, it will boost the power of your rings, granting even more affixes than before. Most players will aim for a high roll of "Increased Bonuses Gained from Equipped Rings" and then use a Vaal Orb to gain even more percentage than the maximum.
  • Kitoko's Current - This is an excellent choice for lightning-based and multiple-element builds; it will help the player shock enemies very fast, allowing you to deal outstanding amounts of damage while being able to take less care of the defensive side.
  • Morior Invictus - Extremely powerful if the affixes are correctly chosen, it also is very hard to come by. This Unique item can benefit all Sorceress builds, given its versatility.

Sorceress Leveling Tips

To assist you get through the game's leveling stage more quickly and easily, we've included the best leveling recommendations in the next section of our guide.

1. Complete the campaign & complete all side objectives

The primary goal when leveling should be to finish the campaign since it is the direct route to the early endgame. Since most of the side quests will grant you vital permanent buffs that will aid you later in the game, finishing them should be more crucial than completing the main quest as you progress through each map.

You can keep track of these permanent buffs by checking the map in each act (Map shortcut: U by default) and searching for icons with a "+" sign next to them. If the icons are greyed out, you have already accomplished the goal and received the buff.

2. Always out-level the zone

In Path of Exile 2, you need to be within the area level's range in order to get the most experience from the monsters you defeat. Being at least one level below the area level is typically the best course of action.

Additionally, if you are five levels above the zone you are in, the amount of experience you gain will be reduced due to an XP limitation. Contrary to popular belief, you will also gain less experience if you are five levels below the zone you are in.

3. Check the vendors on level up

It will always be challenging to get more powerful stuff throughout your journey because you will switch up your gear a lot until the early endgame. The greatest advice we can offer is to check the vendor for better equipment each time you level up until you have enough currency to trade with other players on the well-known PoE2 trading website.

Additionally, having a stack of Scrolls of Wisdom will be quite helpful because it will allow you to quickly identify and replace items as needed.

4. Spend currency to craft gear pieces

The majority of people will hold onto their money until they receive an item they think is valuable. Since you will continuously receive currency and holding onto it will simply slow your progress, we view this as a mistake.

Only the most valuable currencies, such as the following, should you keep for trading or future use:

  • Exalted Orbs, but only in the first one or two weeks of a new league
  • Chaos Orbs
  • Divine Orbs
SKIP THE GRIND BUY CHEAP POE 2 CURRENCY!

Upon reaching the early endgame, these currencies will be used to complete an endgame build, either by trading or crafting, and after that, they can be used to either upgrade the build or to try and craft better items.

5. Pick up all magic, rare, and unique gear pieces and identify them to check for upgrades

One of the primary ways to get better equipment and determine whether it is superior to what you already have equipped is to pick up the magic or rare items and identify all of them. This is the reason why keeping a stack of Scrolls of Wisdom will come in handy.

The wisest course of action is to sell the things you have gathered if they are not superior to what you already have. At the moment, the majority of the gold earned is utilized to return passive points, which are very costly. Although there is a set price of 5000 gold, Atlas points can also be returned in gold.

If you are out of Scrolls of Wisdom, you can fill your inventory with items, portal to town, and identify them at The Hooded One, then either use or sell them. You can also use the "Ctrl + click" shortcut on the NPC to identify the items for extra speed.

Note: You can buy Scrolls of Wisdom from NPCs in any settlement in the game.

6. Upgrade your skills and add supports using Uncut Gems you find

Once you have unlocked the essential abilities required for your leveling build, you need to concentrate on improving them in order of utility. You should primarily begin with the skill you use the most or that you deal damage with and proceed in the specified order.

Additionally, you must fill the skill gems with support gems in the same order to increase their power or utility even more, which will help you save time and fight foes.

League Starter Build

We recommend the Spark Stormweaver build for a league starter build, as it is great for maintaining distance from enemies and dealing great amounts of damage. The only downside of this build is keeping your mana pool high enough to be able to cast Sparks continuously.

Skill Gem Support Gems
Spark Arcane Tempo
Controlled Destruction
Inspiration
Flame Wall Fortress
Mobility
Orb of Storms Conduction
Lightning Exposure
Mana Tempest Premeditation
Murderous Intent
Archmage
Cast on Shock Lightning Conduit
Impetus
Energy Retention
Considered Casting

Pro Sorceress Endgame Tips & Tricks

This section of our guide will cover the best strategies for entering the end game so that you are ready for anything that may come up.

1. Transitioning into an endgame build with useful stats and capped resistances

Professional gamers or streamers who have played this game for a very long time typically write the build guides. They will optimize it in the best way possible so you can get the most incredible build possible because they have knowledge from testing the build in PoE 2 in various ways or from playing the previous game.

Attempting to cap your resistances is another essential step when beginning an endgame build. It shouldn't be too difficult because there are numerous approaches, particularly for the chaos resistance.

It's also crucial to keep improving your build by swapping out your existing goods for better or ones with higher affix rolls.

2. Constantly use your currency to craft or buy upgrades for your gear

As previously mentioned, using the currency dropped while completing the campaign will help speed up the progress. When the endgame is reached, the more valuable currencies will be used for either crafting or trading with other players, which is an essential step since farming an item with the needed affixes will take a very long time.

The currency can also be obtained by purchasing at least one premium stash tab and selling the gear you obtain along the way and won't use, obtaining more currency for the crafting or trading mentioned before.

3. Use the Path of Exile Trade website to look for possible upgrades using filters

The Path of Exile Trade website is, in our opinion, one of the greatest trading options included in a video game because it has so many filters that you can find the ideal item with the precise stats and affix rolls you desire.

A "Direct Whisper" button allows you to communicate directly with the player you are trading with in-game. Since the only thing left to do is teleport to the other player after inviting him to a party, this considerably simplifies the process compared to other trading systems.

4. Use the in-game currency exchange feature for fast currency trading

While in the Hideout, you can exchange any currency with another by using one of the game's NPCs, Alva. When you have enough currencies, you can trade them for the primary trading currency or even the primary trading currency for other kinds of orbs you need.

Different currencies will be used for trading depending on the league's time frame. For instance, the Exalted Orb serves as the primary currency during the first week or two of the league, while the Divine Orb is used later on.

5. Complete the 3rd and 4th Ascension Trials for additional Ascendancy Passive Points

The other four Ascendancy points are obtained by completing either the Trial of the Sekhemas or the Trial of Chaos, but with specific requirements:

  • For the Trial of Chaos, the number of trials must be ten to acquire the 7th and 8th Ascendancy Points, and you must unlock the secret door.
  • For the Trial of the Sekhemas, to obtain the 7th and 8th Ascendancy Points, there must be four floors.

These will be far more difficult than the Trial versions that have already been finished.

Even though the trials aren't the most difficult, you will undoubtedly need a lot of patience and damage once you get to the boss.

6. Progress through the atlas, avoiding difficult waystone modifiers

We advise avoiding bad waystone modifiers and just using another one when beginning to complete maps. The power and survivability of your build should be taken into consideration when selecting the tier of the waystone you are attempting to finish.

Since finishing lower-tier waystones more quickly is more efficient than completing harder waystones very slowly, think about lowering the tier if the map takes too long.

Do even the waystones of the lower tier feel hard? Until your build gets stronger or you get used to this endgame system, try purchasing tier 1 gray waystones from Doryani and running them without any modifiers.

7. Clear maps of an adequate tier based on your level

Clearing maps with lower tiers as quickly as possible is preferable to completing them slowly with only a few tiers higher, as we have previously stated.

If you want to level up, consider keeping the area level at five levels below or above you, as going over that threshold will reduce the amount of experience you earn.

8. Play safe and avoid dying at any cost

It is essential to survive the maps because if not, you will be teleported outside, and the portals will be shut down. Your progress will be made even more difficult by the fact that you will also lose 10% of the total experience needed to level up.

Keep your distance from the monsters and pay attention to your surroundings.
