Help/advice/direction needed

General

level 78 Paladin, finished campaign(I think) started Monoliths last week, things I have NO idea about and need to be pointed at a tutorial, help files, what to do next etc.

  1. Keep hearing people talk about “slamming” (improving an item??) and I gather this takes a red and a brown item to put into something/somewhere to create a new item.
  2. gathering corruption???
  3. what is an “egg” that something gets put into?!?
  4. the mob thing that you click on either Banish/challenge or occasionally empower andit has 4 gear items above it none of which I have so I just fight the mob and keep moving
  5. around the monoliths there are SOME places you can go that have a solid line to them BUT on the outer edge there are always ones with a wavy line from one of the inner nodes BUT I can NOT travel to them?!?!
  6. watched a guide about the weaver tree… still don’t understand it.
  7. crafting items same WHERE is this place I go and/or how do you get there.
  8. trying to follow Maxroll guide but don’t know what specs/attributes I should be going for, ie: melee or Melee with Physical damage or Melee with Spell damage nothign is straight forward or spelled out that I can see in the guide like YOU NEED resists, Spell damage?!!?!? etc, WHAT d I need to move forward, learn how to improve, need tutorials or something?!?!!?
  9. I have been to the prophecy guy but don’t know really what I should be doing there?!?! as in What prophecy and what are KEY prophecies!?!?
    How do you get more points for the Weaver Tree is it JUST doing monoliths!??! or something else involved?

Hello and welcome to the LE forums!

While I will answer all your points here I want to point out that you should most definitely take a look at teh In Game Guide (press [G] ingame). This gives you basically all the fundamental informations that you need.

This is called Legendary Crafting and you will take the Brown (Unique) and Exalted (Purple) Items. The Unqiue needs to have legendary potential and absed on the legendary potential it will overtake 1-4 stats of the exalted item.

When uncovering the echo web you will sometimes find theese purple-ish echoes “Echo of a World”. They look very different from regular echoes and the rewards at the bottom right corner will indicate how much corruption they will give you. These contain a Unique Boss fight called Shade of Orobyss.

This is from the Nemesis, those Purple glowing Remains. You can put any Unique without Legendary potential into the egg to ahve a chance for it to gain eitehr Legendary Potential or Get random stats (this way it will automatically become a legendary)

That is the Nemesis. The gear that appears there is the reward for defeatign it. Empowering it will increase affix tiers and add new affixes to items and if there are unqieus in it they can also gain legendary potential (or become legendary)

I don’t know what you are talking about, could you elaborate or send a screenshot?

As mentioned above already you should defintiely check out the Game Guide, it explaisn all the factions.

The Weaver Tree is tied to the Woven Faction, every Woven Rank and every Woven Echo you completed the first time grants you Weaver Tree points.

These points will affect most of the regular echoes in your Monolith Echo Webs.
They spawn extra things, buff certain things, give certain thigns extra rewards etc.

I don’t use or know build guides so I can’t really help here, but sounds like the guide doesn’t do a good job of explaining your stat priorities.

Prophecies and Weaver Tree have nothing to do with each other, for the Weaver Tree I answered above.

prophecies are just extra targeted loot if you choose Circle of Fortune. You should traget farm specific Uniques, Exalted Items or Idols with it, depending on what your next likely upgrade would be.

Sorry not allowed to add screenshot basically there is you starting monolith say Fall of the Empire monolith, then first lightly south east of that is Frozen Sea that I CAN port to BUT… attached to it by wavy lines (NOT the soild line from Fall node TO Frozen Sea) to Defiled Valley, Forgotten Graves and Mudflats, these 3 nodes I can NOT port to.

ok the “egg” is the nemisis, but HOW do you get it, I have killed LOTS of those nemesis/boss/whatever things and have never seen an “egg” also heard that you need to port somewhere to use to egg and then port somewhere else?? so very confused, Game Guide may behelpful if I knew where to look for my specific issues/lack of knowledge/new things I want to check into/etc

You should post screenshtos to sites that let oyu uplaod them and share the link. Sites like imgur for example.

Your descriptions doesn’t really help me understand and everyone has a unique echo web, sicne its randomly generated.

You can always only travel one node at a time and you can see 2 nodes further.

The Egg in the Nemesis is somewhat rare and scale up with Area Level and Ranks in the Forgotten knight Faction.

Once you reach empowered monolith and unlock the Forgotten Knights Faction Eggs will be very common. Roughly a bit more than 50% of Nemesis will have them

https://imgur.com/a/3TcvmGI trying this from imgur, I guess you have to follow the link says it can’t upload a preview. but there is the cetral blue node you port to to start monolith, then hard links to the 1st few around in but the OUTSIDE ring of nodes all have wavy vs. solid connection lines and do NOT allow me to port to those nodes.

Also what is an “empowered monolith”??? Forgotten Knights?!?! what?

You can only travel through these nodes one-by-one. The ones with the wavey connection are not unlocked yet, because you need to do the previous echo to access them.

So I guess you are not far enough yet. Just keep playing and it will make sense. At the end of normal Monolith (when you defeat the boss of the last Level 90 Timeline you will unlock a Faction and it will explain that. That faction can be leveled and unlcoks further bonuses (like Eggs being more likey).

Empowered Monolith means that you can do any timeline at area level 100.
