    Returning player - What should I do?

    Hey all.

    I'm returning to the game after a long break. The last time I played there was only one incursion out. I've got an item level of 179, various greens from 182-204. I've found the world tiers and I've just started fooling around there, but is there anything you can suggest I do to catch up?

    Thanks.

    Really you came at the right time as you missed the grind to build a God rolled build from top to bottom only to have it become worthless... Tho It wont take long to get a nice build depending on how much you play. I would start at tier 5 as you shouldn't have much of a problem, if you do drop down. Good Luck

    Thanks for the quick replies. As it stands I can only do tier 3. Tier 4+ needs 200 gear score which I'm lacking. So what's the best way to obtain gear? Is it just basically phoenix credit farming and challenge modes?

    Everything you do in T3 is dropping 204s on you, so build a 204 set. Once you have 204 in most slots, you then have the GS (and the stats) to survive in T4, where everything will drop 229. Gather a build of 229s to get the stats and GS up to where you can transfer to T5, where everything gives you 256, and that is (currently) where we stay and farm/tweak/min-max.

    One good way to get some decent gear at lower world tiers is to go farm all of the world bosses. You can google search for a map that shows all of their locations. named bosses always drop gear when you kill them. Taking on HVT's is another way but some of them can be quite tough.

    That's a good idea. I'll check that out now. If I kill them in my current tier, can I do it again in the next?

    Yes world bosses now respawn every 4 hours so you can farm them again.
