Tier 1 Tips

1. Always complete the highest accessible Chaos Dungeons and Guardian Raids to not fall behind in progression.

3. If your progression is exceedingly quick, save Silver by not transferring your gear into epic or legendary sets, and stay with your Chaos Dungeon set until you can proceed to the next tier.

4. Optimal Engraving Setup: Tier 3 is where most people start looking into min-maxing their engravings. With purple accessories in T3, you should at least have two level 3 Engravings. With Legendary Engravings, most players will be able to achieve at least 4 Level 3 engravings and 1 Level 1 engraving. Starting from Legion Raids, with relic accessories, 5 level 3 engravings will be within the range of most players.
