    Pretty much just play on Hard and farm rifts for starter Legendaries or good rares. Be sure to enchant stuff if it has 3 good primary affixes. When the patch hits next week then farming Bounties will probably be better, you'll get a lot of legendary crafting recipes and the materials to make them. Those are generally intended to be entry level "regular items with good stats" style Legendaries.

    If you haven't done so yet join the PAF channel so one of us can grab you for the clan. That way you aren't stuck playing solo, because outside of some personal hatred of grouping and when pushing solo GRifts, the game sadly punishes you EXP and (quantity of, not quality of) drop wise for playing solo. The group buff is a big deal to have, so group as much as possible.

    With group play in mind just ask in guild chat if anyone wants to group. I'm normally in a solo game doing solo greater rifts but if I see anyone looking to group, has an open game, needs help with a seasonal power level, whatever, I'll typically switch over when I get a chance. Never feel bad about someone popping in and carrying you either if you want the carry and they don't mind doing it. The group buff is really that much better than playing solo so me plowing through T6 stuff with you to help you gear is helping me get more drops and more exp, it helps us both, a lot. If you want to group but don't want the carry because you get bored playing like that just ask if they have an alt around your level and gear level, or if they can swap specs. No one in the guild will be offended if you don't want the carry for gameplay reasons. Most of us would say the carry is nice because the game gets a lot better when you get one of the endgame builds going as fast as possible, but to each their own there.

    If you're already in the clan and already grouping, do act 1 bounties. They're the easiest and, as an overall act, fastest bounties to complete. This will give a bounty cache, which will give you yellow rift keys. Run rifts until you deplete these keys. Repeat this until you get a greater rift trial key. Once you eventually get a greater rift trial key put it in your stash and save it for four days when patch 2.3 releases. You could run them now, but since 2.3 comes out the 25th, it's easier just to save them than chance going to too high a level and getting in over your head. As a fresh 70 you aren't missing out on anything by waiting four days. It will also give you some trial keys for group play in case you group with some people that want to do so, either now or after the patch.

    As you do this you'll collect plenty of gear so ask in clan chat and post here if you want to know if it's worth using if you already have a legendary or set item in that slot. Save one of every legendary you get, because even though you won't use the bulk of the orange items you find in this game, you want them for the cube next patch.

    The reason i say save your greater trial keys but burn rift keys is rift keys do not carry over to 2.3, but greater rift trial keys and greater rift numbered keys do. Since you only go up one greater rift level at a time in 2.3 as a fresh 70 you'll get more out of them doing that, and you only need to sit on them for four days.

    Come the 25th, follow this. It all basically still applies now, but the guide is written for leveling up and hitting T6+ next patch.

    Rift keys, the yellow ones, turn into greyed out items that sell for increased gold value in 2.3. They do so because rifts are free in 2.3, they no longer require a key.

    Greater rift keys, be they trial keys or trial keys turned into numbered tokens, turn into general greater rift keys. In 2.3 you only go up one greater rift level at a time upon completion of a greater rift, and can select any previously completed greater rift levels. You open a greater rift, of any level, with the greater rift token.

    Nice, even threw in the dancing baby. Somewhere out there someone is putting on their dancing baby shirt and smiling at your post.

    And many, many more are Goggling what the hell dancing baby is a reference to.

    Was gonna fix it but sure, Goggling works too.

    It went live in D3 like the day HotS patched, I think. After getting to 12 I had nothing, then HotS patched and I had Diablo in HotS and the HotS merch in D3. So double check you have Diablo in HotS too.

    Try logging back into HotS, then D3, restart BNet, etc. If none of that works I'd just file a ticket.

    I think I'll be free off and on today, if you guys randomly log into D3 and/or @ me I'll see if I can help. Power leveling is so fast and easy now, run an act 1 cache then a few rifts, done just under or over an hour typically.

    Getting 100 conquest points for the banner isn't too hard either, you could knock that out tonight. 400 for the portrait is doable, but you'd probably need some help and a large chunk of today dedicated to getting it.

    If you can do a T6 rift and Malthael at T5, that's 330 points right there (60 for rifts in T1-6, 200 each of the act-end bosses, and the 70 from hitting 70) If there is a kind soul with the keys to do the Soul of Evil fight at T6, that would be another 40 to bring ya to 360 points.

    Though after that the "easiest" chevos are gems and solo grifts, and even if you've gotten to just 40 points away both of those will be a grind, especially if if you only hit 70 on a seasonal character just today.

    I forgot about the boss conquests, glad Foefaller brought 'em up. Shame that alone doesn't take you to 400 because you can do them in adventure mode so it takes no time at all.

  • ZekZek Registered User regular
    Theoretically you can get PL'ed through the portrait achievements but it requires someone to take you through bosses, ubers and grifts, so it's a lot of hassle.

  • BartholamueBartholamue Registered User regular
    I wouldn't worry too much about it. Season 4 is giving you season 1's transmogs, so if they're doing that, then the portrait might come back later on.
