Fractured Peaks

  • Step 57: Kyovasha (Teleport), teleport to Kyovashad.

  • Step 58: World tier.

  • Capstone: Unlock world tier 3, make your mom proud.


Notes:

  • - Capstone is beatable as a SOLO barb around level 42

  • - You will need around 1000ap, 3000 armor, and 1200 life

  • - The capstone dungeon itself drops amazing 500+ ilvl weapons for level 43-44+

  • - You may want to save your materials for your 2h Retribution imprint until you get one

  • - The capstone dungeon is harder at the entrance, the teleporting elites can be dangerous

  • - If you can survive the entrance you should be fine on the Curator end boss

  • - Once completed, in World Tier 3 you should head back to Onyx Watchtower until 50

  • - Kor Dragan is also an option, but you get no loot, so it's up to you

  • - After that you need to do Helltides for crafting materials and unlock nightmare sigils

  • - Complete Tree of Whispers to get sigils and decent gear drops

  • - After completing a level 3 nightmare sigil, you will be able to start crafting them
