TL;DR: ECHO Gaming explores a casual Diablo Immortal morning, hitting Abyssal Verge, Trial of the Hordes, Sanctum, and more. We also manage upgrades, familiars, and look at gear choices.
This article details a casual morning session of Diablo Immortal gameplay. We'll follow along as ECHO Gaming tackles daily events, upgrades gear, manages familiars, and makes gear decisions. This is for anyone wondering what a routine progression-focused session can look like.
Starting the Day: Events and Cosmetics
The day starts with a look at current events. While major news is slow, the Mirrored Jewels event might be coming soon, potentially on the 6th. Despite the lack of major announcements, we’re exploring the current offerings and making the most of it, including donning the Lilith-inspired cosmetic. This Crusader cosmetic is a fun change of pace and a good way to kick things off.
- Current events include Brumaltine, Days of Dawnspan, Fractured Plane, Trial of the Hordes, and Shields of the Hearth.
- The Lilith cosmetic provides a striking visual change.
- Focus on making progress with the available events while waiting for more news.
Abyssal Verge Runs: Farming Essence and Runes
We're starting with the Abyssal Verge. This is a great choice for fast runs and lots of monster essence. The Crusader build is excellent for quickly clearing large groups. We're aiming for a good score and a free rune. We complete two runs to secure the Rune and a good haul of materials.
Abyssal Verge Strategy
- Focus on clearing blues for points.
- Use horse for fast travel and damage.
- Prioritize big enemies and yellow targets for better rewards.
- Try for the 1250+ chest each run to maximize rewards.
Daily Tasks: Familiars, Gambling, and Gear Upgrades
Next, we focus on routine tasks. This includes sending out familiars on their expeditions, gambling for essences, and upgrading gear. These are essential for steady account progression. The daily routine keeps resources flowing and makes sure we're consistently improving the character.
Daily Tasks Checklist
- Send familiars on Sanctum and Shadow Contract tasks for free experience and rewards.
- Gamble daily for Essences.
- Salvage equipment and trade scrap for dust to upgrade the current build.
Trial of the Hordes and Elder Rifts
The Trial of the Hordes event is next. It's quick and provides rewards without the need to push for leaderboards. Afterwards, Elder Rifts are run, focusing on a slower, more thorough pace to maximize loot drops. These activities help us progress in multiple in-game systems.
Trial and Elder Strategy
- Trial of the Hordes is for easy rewards.
- Elder Rifts are for gear and gem materials, taking a more thorough approach to make sure all loot is collected.
- Aim to run 10 rare crests a day for gem crafting materials.
Sanctum and Bounty Completion
A quick run of Iben Fahd's Sanctum is done to grab the free chest. Then, we're on to bounty completions. We are consistently working towards the Battle Pass and other daily tasks. These are critical for long-term growth in the game.
Sanctum Strategy
- Use pets to get the free chest, if that is the goal.
- Otherwise, unlock all the chests in the main room to maximize rewards.
- Be sure to complete bounties every day for battle pass and event progress.
Hilt Trading and Gear Decisions
Finally, we spend our earned hilts for the legendary crest each month and to pick up rare crests. This will help us push our gem upgrades. We are also examining new gear drops and considering swapping gear based on stats and magic attributes. This is crucial to building an effective build for continued game progression. It's always a question of balanced stats vs. utility based on magic affixes.
End of Session Tasks
- Buy monthly legendary crests from the hilt vendor and pick up rare crests each day.
- Review new gear for combat rating, fortitude, vitality and magic affixes.
- Balance the benefits of new gear with the loss of beneficial effect duration.
This casual morning routine showcases a balanced approach to Diablo Immortal. Events, daily tasks, and focused upgrades all contribute to steady progress. It's not all about pushing leaderboards, sometimes it's just about enjoying the game and seeing what random rewards await. We're looking forward to continuing the journey.
