How to Gear Up Fast in Season 2: Solo & Efficient Strategies

Staff's Avatar by Staff

Season 2 is here and getting gear quickly is key. Whether you’re playing solo or looking for upgrades, here’s how to gear up efficiently from day one.

Start with Cyrce’s Circlet

If you’ve completed Siren Isle, you will most likely have Cyrce’s Circlet, a powerful item level 658 ring that remains relevant at the beginning of the season. If not, you can still complete the Siren Isle content and get the ring to 658 quickly, as there is a catch-up system in place for the upgrade consumables.

Undermine Campaign & Raid Quest

  • Complete the Undermine campaign up to the quest where you defeat Chrome King Gallywix.
  • Story Mode unlocks on March 11, allowing you to finish the raid quest and earn an Enchanted Runed Undermine Crest iconEnchanted Runed Undermine Crest, which lets you craft Item Level 658 gear.

Cartels of Undermine Rewards

Pinnacle Caches & Delves

  • Completing world events and special assignments unlocks pinnacle caches. The first two will grant Item Level 623 Veteran gear, with the first four grating Delve keys. So you want to get 4 of these each week.
  • Complete 4 Tier 8 Bountiful Delves for Item Level 639 Champion gear.

War Mode Gear

  • Turn on War Mode, accept the Sparks of War weekly quest in Dornogal. Completing any World Quest in Dornogal will grant you sparks. Once you complete the quest, you will receive 1,000 Bloody Tokens iconBloody Tokens that you can turn in for 1 piece of Item Level 632 gear.

Kill World Boss
