[3.21] fezz's Fast Alt Leveling Guide - Level 1 to 90-95+ in a few hours (requires ~3-6 Divine Orbs)

Currency. How much currency you actually need really depends on the current market situation and therefore can vary. From my experience, you have to invest a total of around 3-6 Divine Orbs (depending on whether or not you want to use the cheaper or more expensive setup).

The Hollow Palm Technique is provided by the One With Nothing small cluster jewel. This jewel provides you with the following:

- You count as Dual Wielding while you are Unencumbered
- 60% more Attack Speed while you are Unencumbered
- 14 to 20 Added Attack Physical Damage per 10 Dexterity while you are Unencumbered

‘Unencumbered’ relates to not having weapons, shields and gloves equipped which obviously is a huge loss, but by stacking as much dexterity as possible you can leverage from being Unencumbered a lot, giving you a lot of damage.

5-way rotations refer to an encounter which was introduced in the Legion league. Here, you enter the Domain of Timeless Conflict as a 6-man team which consists of a Carry, an Aurabot, a Resetter and 3 AFK XP Leecher. Normally, these 5-way rotations are managed by the Carry and/or the Aurabot while the Resetter and the AFK XP leechers pay a fee to participate.

Once the group is full and the financial part has been settled, you will run a predefined amount of 5-way rotations (normally 4-5 runs) which take 5 minutes each, whereby each team member uses one available portal to the Domain of Timeless Conflict.

Once you’ve entered the Domain of Timeless Conflict, you move near the middle - but you don’t enter the purple circle by any means! - where all 3 AFK XP leechers stack. Then the Carry/Aurabot will start the encounter and clear the area while the Resetter periodically runs in and out of the circle to spawn new monsters. This is repeated until the 5 minute encounter ends.

You can find 5-way rotation teams in the TFT Discord channel.

Some noteworthy (kind of unwritten) rules regarding 5-way rotation:

- If you die, you don’t release
- If the carry dies (which happens pretty rarely), he will add another run for free (depending on the progress of the failed run); on top of that you should leave the area as soon as possible (most of the time the carry will call for it in chat)
- Aurabots and Resetters (normally) pay a lower price

Also note: You want to be level 70 before doing 5-way rotations. Otherwise you get a huge experience penalty which comes with very high time and cost inefficiency.

- This is a guide for alts (since you need some currency to be able to set it up correctly)
- You have to use a mana flask at the very early stage of the campaign, but you can drop it once you have enough mana leech (around level ~20)
- It’s recommended to put all items and gems you need for this build (see below) in one Stash tab and occasionally check whether or not you can use something new.
- Once you’ve equipped ‘One With Nothing’ you have to unequip your weapons and your gloves. Otherwise the build bricks.
- It’s recommended to turn off the auto-equip function in the game options menu. If you don’t do that and accidentally equip a weapon, shield or gloves while using ‘One With Nothing’, the build bricks.
- In case you have the feeling that your damage and/or attack speed is totally off at a moment’s notice, check if you have accidentally (auto-)equipped a weapon, shield or gloves (and undo that).
- In general, there is no need to complete the Labyrinth to choose your Ascendancy class while leveling.
- You want to kill all bandits to get two additional skill points.
- You should put Molten Shell on the left click.
- You should use a very strict loot filter. In fact, I recommend only picking up Divine Orbs or other valuable items.
- You will level pretty fast. As a consequence, your life flask won’t keep up with the amount of life you have and the amount of damage monsters do very fast as well. Therefore, you should buy a new life flask from the vendor in town every two acts and preferably roll it to become an instant life flask.
- Don’t kill Kitava in act 10 before you have reached level 70. The reason why is because after killing Kitava, you would get -30% to all Elemental Resistances (which is just an unnecessary burden since you can comfortably level to level 70 in act 10; there’s no gain in doing so by doing maps).
- You might ask yourself why you want to be level 70 before killing Kitava in act 10. After killing Kitava, you want to jump straight into doing a 5-way rotation. Due to the fact that the area of the 5-way rotation is level 83, you would get a massive experience penalty if you would go in there below level 70. This wouldn’t only be time inefficient, it would also cost you a lot more (since you have to do more rotations).
- Apart from the 3 unique flasks listed below, you want to use a moderate instant life flask as well as a quicksilver flask.

You can find the PoB of the build here.

Please note: This is a super slim PoB with a very rudimentary configuration (a detailed one is not needed, in my opinion).

This build requires you to buy several items in order to have a decent setup (see below). If you want to use the Better Trading Chrome Extension for the PoE trade website (instead of clicking the links below), you can import this string.

#1 Buy the following gems from Lilly in your hideout (MANDATORY)

- (R) Smite (you can also use Vaal Smite, if available)
- (R) Determination
- (R) Vitality
- (R) Herald of Ash
- (R) Molten Shell
- (R) Stone Golem
- (R) Elemental Damage with Attacks Support
- (R) Ancestral Call Support
- (R) Added Fire Damage Support
- (R) Ruthless Support
- (G) Dash
- (G) Blood Rage
- (G) Onslaught Support
- (B) Flame Dash
- (B) Added Lightning Damage Support
- (B) Physical to Lightning Support
- (B) Elemental Focus Support

For maximum efficiency in terms of damage/survivability, you could buy level 1 variants of the gems above with 23% quality via the trade website, but it’s not really worth the time and effort, to be honest.

#2 Buy the following items from the trade website (MANDATORY)

- Redbeak (2x)
- One With Nothing
- Goldrim (preferably R-R-R-G)
- Tabula Rasa
- Wanderlust (preferably R-R-G-B)
- Araku Tiki
- Karui Ward
- Astramentis
- Blackheart (2x)
- Le Heup of All (2x)
- Darkness Enthroned
- Abyss Jewel (2x)
- The Wise Oak
- Lion’s Roar
- Taste of Hate
- Jewel with Corrupted Blood
- Jewel with Maim
- Jewel with Life & Dexterity
- Amber Oil, Azure Oil & Black Oil (to anoint Astramentis amulet with Ambidexterity)
- Glassblower's Bauble (70x) (to increase the quality of your utility flasks)
- Vaal Haste

This is your leveling gear. It’s recommended to put it in one Stash tab and occasionally check whether or not you can use something new.

#3 Buy the following items from the trade website for 5-way rotations (MANDATORY)

- Gloves
- Boots
- Belt
- Body Armour
- Ring
- [OPTIONAL] The Supreme Truth (2x)

This is your 5-way rotation gear. The only important thing in 5-way rotations is your survivability. Due to the fact that an Aurabot is part of any 5-way rotation group, you only have to make sure you are chaos resistance capped (and some life). You might want to put these items in a separate Stash tab.It also doesn’t hurt if you invest some (existing or upcoming) skill points into defensive stats (life, energy shield, strength, etc.).

#4 IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF CURRENCY you can buy the following items to level even faster (OPTIONAL)

- Briskwrap (R-R-R-G-B-B) AND/OR Skin of the Loyal (R-R-R-G-B-B)
- String of Servitude (with Movement Speed mod)
- Seven-League Step (preferably R-R-G-B)
- Glassblower's Bauble (20x) & Instilling Orb (20x) (to craft ‘Used When Charges Reach Full’ on all of your utility flasks)

These items allow you to level even faster, but they are most likely quite expensive.
