Use that to build up gold reserves and farm for items. Act 1 may start to seem pussy to you after a span of time and this is a good thing.

You need as much armor as you can load on and will you need to level up to at least the late 20вЂ™s before hitting Act 1вЂ™s boss. However, you need to grind for gear, especially stuff that gives you elemental protection and armor. You could conceivably spend levels 21-30 IN Act 1 because the end dungeon is fairly difficult, but you will yearn to go to Act 2 because level ups will become painfully slow and, because you are not dying, you will build up a lot of ember chips to merge up. Stay in Act 1 for as long as you can stand it.This is Elite remember, ELITE so if you want to go have a jag with your friends, go back to Veteran. This is sad because TL2 is all about the multiplayer but it gets really tough when you just canвЂ™t take down mobs and take tons of damage more than you are used to. Damage modelling, which I wonвЂ™t pretend to understand, seems to go off the charts when you have more than two people playing together, and itвЂ™s really not worth the risk of untimely demise. Play alone or with one other person ONLY.GR has a couple of attacks that do huge damage and unless youвЂ™ve fought him oodles of times before on Elite Normal, you wonвЂ™t know the visual triggers for those attacks until you are already a corpse. You will eventually build up to level 27-28вЂ“ that is the time to hit the Grand Regent (boss of Act 1)вЂ“ not before unless you are very sure of yourself. This type of attack seems to do MASSIVE damage and can one hit you if you let it connect. There is a lot to look out for in that regionвЂ“ but be especially careful of bosses that shoot out ice/earth in a line straight at your character (Ice Elementals and Chillhoof are examples of this). Obviously make sure your ICE armor is 100+ or youвЂ™re meatpastecicle. You will spend most of your time in that second part of act 1вЂ“ the winter part. I cannot comment on any other classes above 20 because, pathetic as it is, all my other characters died in the second part of Act 1. After my level 23 or so Embermage bit the dust, I ran Elite Hardcore with a Berserker and used THIS build strategy. There are tons of solid builds out their on the interwebtubes to look at for all classes. You better know your build and how itвЂ™s going to both deal out and survive damage. That said, here are ten more tips if you do choose to keep going past level 20. Act 2 comes down on you so hard that you will need aircrash coroners to piece you back together again. I want to tell you straight away: you will not make it through Act 2 Elite hardcore. So you made it to level 21 in Torchlight Hardcore Elite aye? Think it was tough? Think it was a slough and many of your characters died even with my other list of tips as reference? Well Act 1 is fucking CHEESE CAKE compared to Act 2 Elite.
