Overview
TLDR: 3.27 — nothing changed for build, sanctum buff(cope) if lycia bloodline is popular and you get to sell carries. Levelling resources and gear references are provided to guide progression from level 1 through level 90 and beyond. The notes include multiple POB links, bossing and mapping notes, and strategies for building around Energy Blade, Ghostwrithe, and Malachai's Simulacrum. A spectrum of budgets is covered, from budget to higher-end, with recommendations on gear slots, gems, and levelling playthroughs. The document emphasizes practical levelling paths, item substitutions, and endgame viability, with an emphasis on spectres, energy-based damage, and flask automation. It also references video guides, item filters, and profile links for tracking progress.

Spectres and Energy Blade
- SPECTRES (if you get a +1 spectre bitterbind, add hydra for hatred)
- energy blade remains a core weapon; ghostwrithe and malachai's simula are compulsory at start for energyblade. You can swap other slots for random rares. If you have CotB (Crusader of the Black) or comparable, it makes runs easier. Haste, forest tiger support is beneficial.
Companions and Slot Rules
- only ghostwrithe and malachai's simula compulsory at start for energyblade, can swap every other slot for random rares; cotb makes runs much easier haste forest tiger
- replacements for taming - any random rare ring with cast speed / lori lantern/ valdo sign discipline judgmental spirit GET PERFECT VERSIONS
- zealotry pain artist
Replacements for Taming and Perfect Versions
- see above under Companions and Slot Rules; focus on versatile replacements that preserve casting speed and survivability.
