Before the league
- Pick a league-start build and read the full guide once.
- Save a Path of Building import for your leveling tree checkpoints.
- Prep a leveling gear/gem shopping list for act vendors.
Act 1-10 leveling
- Grab your leveling gems from vendors as soon as they unlock.
- Keep movement speed on boots from the moment you can.
- Don’t over-invest in leveling uniques you’ll replace by maps.
Hitting maps
- Get to the pantheon and bandit choices your build wants.
- Set up a basic crafting bench and a currency stash tab layout.
- Check live currency prices before trading bulk.
Notes
This is intentionally build-agnostic. The goal is to remove decision fatigue on day one so you can focus on the fun part - blasting through the campaign.
