Written Guide

Hi, I recorded this video midway through Season 21 and it will be even easier in Season 22 with the 4th cube slot. Augmenting ancient items is very important for both damage and toughness. My recommendation is always to augment early, and this season I am doing 100s on as many classes as I can

If you would like a full worked example video for how to do this on the Necromancer, please comment below, I think it will be faster than the DH due to the cube 4th slot but the principles are the same and apply to all classes

You will need

1. A fast T16 build, stacked with gold find and maybe a broken crown if short on gems
2. A very fast move speed or ingeom based teleport build to clear 90 second rifts
3. Run GR 14, 19, 24 etc….until you need to swap onto your next build (only ID what you need, salvage the rest - you won’t lose souls, even if ancient or primal). If concerned about XP/blood shard/ item loss, run the highest GR you can do regulary in 90-120 seconds
4. A good 3m speed build for higher levels
5. A push build (or adapted speed build) to finish the last few levels for your gem
6. Augment your gem onto an ancient well rolled piece
7. Repeat
