What map and how many artifacts for Experience Hoard?
Can't seem to get this achievement. Followed a guide but always end up four or five levels short.

Did do the run on map 1 with Hastening Sands, Torment Banner, Restless Wheel at first. Added Archeologist's Thread for the second run.

Picked two abilities on the first run, using every scroll and chest for xp boost. Four abilities in the second, mostly maxed out.

Haven't unlocked every item yet, but I don't see how using other items are going to give me these few extra levels.

Should I run with even more artifacts? Or is this achievement not possible anymore with current version?

You might have to move slightly around ~18:30, when the Silver Blobs spawn,
but shortly after you will get Tier III Ringbaldes to upgrade them.
Rest of the run is mostly AFK, sometimes dodging a projectile.

Leave all Chests and Scrolls /Books on the ground till the end and pick only those you need for Abilites and Upgrades.

Wow, that was an apprehensive guide for sure!

Did the run. Never thought reach / range was so important. Enemies kept popping before getting on the screen.

Only had the normal Hunting Gloves, but it did the trick. One and a half level spare :steamhappy:

Many thanks for posting!

Always experiment and try new things.

Why no mark? Wouldnt a mark be better than nothing?

It's likely so the pool of traits doesn't get diluted and allow for the +EXP traits show up faster.

Sage Mark does literally nothing for Sage, while any other mark would make it harder to access some of the necessary traits.

Ring Blades being able to do this even without upgrades is why it did so much more damage than the other weapons.

To keep this Build as simple as possible.
There is no need to invest more than neccessary.
Thrrax Oct 24, 2024 @ 8:40am 
If you really want to use a mark with Ulyaoth's build, use Swordsman and pick Blades as the main weapon. For traits, pick up all the range and area ones from the Swordsman, and ignore the ones from the Sage except the XP ones. For items, change the Multistrike gloves for the Attack speed ones. Other than that, it's the same run. If done correctly, you should have about 2-3 or even 4 levels worth of tomes/scrolls/chest left after you've hit 150.

Heck, you can even do it with Ring Blades alone, and use those memory potions on Ethereal shift traits and the rank nine Ring Blades traits.

Thanks for that. Normally, I like figuring out these quests on my own, but that one was annoying for a long time. Your guide worked like a charm.

I just can't get higher than level 145.
I also can't get above 72000 kills.
Is the tactic still valid?
