Torchlight - My Character Builds

Character guidelines for skills and attributes for Torchlight.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1295749442

Guide Overview

This guide is effectively complete. There is no "guide" section for Ordrak because the strategies really are straight forward. For the Alchemist I used class powers and scrolls to defeat Ordrak. For the Vanquisher I used a scoped rifle and attacked Ordrak directly.

Gems/Embers

Other than Chaos Ember, 2 Embers of the same quality can be transmuted by Duran to improve the quality.

Cracked -> Dull -> Discolored -> Base -> Cut -> Polished -> Star -> Flawless -> Perfect -> Shard

@greentiger aight aight, thanks, just wanted clarification.

[greentiger]

@curry.dynamo for my guide that means that you come back to the skill to add more points to it. Your latter understanding.

[NULL_space37]

Under the skill guide for The Alchemist, some things are listed twice. Was that a typo, or does that mean, for instance, that Ember Lightning should get another x5 after Adventurer x10?

[greentiger]

@HOOD OOS I typically did 1:1 when marked "high+"

[Sullivan]

Any specifics towards how much defense in comparison to main stat? 2:1 mainstat:defense?

[greentiger]

@Floth I figured any bit helps, although if you don't' find it useful, use the points for another skill you do--the guide is not set in stone.

[Floth]
