News Tag: Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium

Hunters, Torchlight Infinite Season 10 launched on October 10th, titled Overrealm. As the name suggests, it's a dimension full of contradictions, featuring a new gameplay loop centered around finding your way through seemingly endless corridors of exits.

Before you begin escaping Overrealm, let's take a look at the core mechanics, features, and all the changes coming to Season 10.

New Season Mechanics: Overrealm

First, Overrealm, a new season mechanic in Torchlight Infinite, forces players to pass through a portal while exploring Netherrealm. Interacting with the portal will cause enemies to emerge and attack you. Your goal is to defeat these monsters as quickly as possible to advance your Containment Progress bar. Once the bar is filled, a new Overrealm, leading to a higher difficulty level, will appear.

It's worth noting that this exploration process is timed; once the timer expires, your Overrealm journey ends.

Thus, it's clear that this seems to be another mechanic that clearly emphasizes speed, with efficiency being key to maximizing your rewards.

As you advance to new tiers, you may trigger a special map modifier, Disturbance, which increases the risk and reward of subsequent explorations. For example, defeated monsters may transform into more powerful variants, dropping more Torchlight Infinite Currency upon slaying again. These modifiers stack, so the deeper you explore Overrealm, the more challenging it becomes, and the more valuable the loot you'll find.

New Hero Trait: Bing - Creative Genius

In addition, in Torchlight Infinite SS10 Overrealm, Bing gains a new Hero Trait: Creative Genius. This trait shifts Bing's focus from explosive brilliance to focused brilliance and grants him increased area-of-effect abilities.

This trait allows Bing to use two Inspirational Machines: one that accumulates a resource and the other that unleashes it in a spell-like or explosive form, depending on your selections in his Hero Talent Tree. This empowers his abilities by using Inspirational Machines filled with Whimsy and Ingenuity Essences, transforming Bing's signature explosive abilities into a new mechanic that allows him to increase his spell damage against enemies.

Unlike other heroes, Bing's talents offer greater flexibility, making him more customizable. At levels 45, 60, and 75, you'll select a talent from the left pool and another from the right, allowing you to create powerful hybrid builds. Furthermore, Bing earns additional Trait Points at each level to further enhance these talents.

Ethereal Prism

Furthermore, Overrealm season introduces a new item type called Ethereal Prism. Similar to skill gems in Path of Exile, you can place one at a point in your talent tree, which modifies all surrounding nodes and affects your Hero Traits.

Please note that Ethereal Prisms can only be installed in non-core talent slots, and only one can be installed at a time. Furthermore, installing an Ethereal Prism overwrites the original effect of the slot it's in, essentially replacing it with a specific bonus, allowing for significant talent customization.

However, you can also install an Inverse Image with a prism to reflect and enhance talents within its range. Some Ethereal Prisms can even replace core talents with powerful new abilities.

There are multiple types of Ethereal Prisms, each with its own specific function. They can overwrite and enhance existing talent nodes and core talents, significantly enhancing the talent system. They allow players to customize their talent builds through various new mechanics, providing powerful effects to surrounding talents. Coupled with the ability to create affixes using Calibration Prisms, this further allows for deep playstyle customization.

New Combo Skills

Following this, Torchlight Infinite SS10 introduces two new combo-themed skills: Crescent Slash and Serpent Beam.

Combo skills are active attacks performed in a specific order. Typically, a combo sequence consists of 3 phases: two Combo Starter phases and a Finisher phase. During the combo starter phase, you gain combo points, which can be used to cast combo finishers for extra damage. However, if you reset the current combo sequence by using a non-instant, non-movement skill, or another combo skill, all points are lost and the sequence restarts from the first phase.

In the new season, Crescent Slash and Serpent Beam are two different attack skills available to different heroes. The former is a multi-phase combo skill that begins with a wave of attacks, then culminates in a flurry of attacks, and ends with a finishing move; the latter is a beam-based attack.

Notably, Crescent Slash allows you to use flash and mobility skills during the combo without interrupting the combo flow, but using other skills will reset the combo back to the starting point.

If you enjoy multi-phase combos and enjoy dynamic and mobile combat, with the ability to use flash and mobility skills during the combo, then Crescent Slash is definitely for you. However, if you prefer direct, sustained beam attacks that might be relevant to a specific hero's playstyle, then choose Serpent Beam.

New Events

To encourage players to keep logging in, several new events are planned for SS10 Overrealm:

Drop Rush

Drop Rush is a limited-time event during Overrealm season that rewards players for logging in and playing. During the event, players who log in for seven days and complete the main storyline will receive a free Legendary Drop Pactspirit Selection Pack, unlocking Activation Medium: Motionless feature and enabling auto-battle mode. This unlock is limited to one per account!

Pactspirit Exchange

This is also a limited-time event where players can exchange Monument Knight, Letice, and Shocket Pactspirits from City of Aeterna for corresponding Pactspirit Essences. These Essences can be redeemed for Legendary Drop Pactspirit Selection Packs or Appearance Crystals in Event Shop.

Plane Watcher Drops

In Torchlight Infinite SS10, defeating high-level Netherrealm Plane Watcher bosses has a chance to drop Conquest Insignias, specifically at Profound Timemark 8. These Insignias can be exchanged for unique weapon cosmetics and further character customization.

In summary, these are the new mechanics, features, and activities added to Torchlight Infinite SS10: Overrealm. Obviously, in this volatile, looping realm, speed and efficiency are paramount, putting your hero's abilities and build planning to the test.

If you want to reach higher Overrealm levels before the timer expires, a sufficient reserve of currency becomes crucial. Whether you need to craft new items or enhance existing gear through enchants and Arcanes, Flame Elementium is an essential resource.

If you're running low on currency, you can also check out IGGM, a secure Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium trading marketplace where you can get the currency you need at the lowest prices and start your new Overrealm journey in SS10.

Rosa 2 has a rollercoaster growth curve. She's not particularly strong early on, and once you build up enough mana, her damage explodes. However, managing her early on is a challenge.

If you're trying to build up mana in the early game, you'll find that your progress is slow, which suggests this isn't the best path for her. Use Lightning Spike and Earthquake as your primary abilities in the early game.

Pet Recommendations

Captain Kitty of the Furious Sea and Red Umbrella are recommended pets. If you have the latest pet, Red Umbrella can be substituted. Backup Power is also a good option, but requires additional paralysis.

Rosa 2 Traits

Rosa 2 is a class that focuses on mana as a core damage booster, with two forms: Mystic Mercury and Realm of Mercury.

• Mystic Mercury: When using non-channeled attack skills, attempt to consume 10% of your unsealed maximum mana. If successful, gain 10 Mercury. If mana is insufficient, consume 1% of your unsealed maximum mana to gain 5 Mercury.
• Realm of Mercury: For every 10% of your unsealed maximum mana, gain +2% attack speed and +4% elemental damage. When using non-channeled attack skills, restore 20% of your unsealed maximum mana. There is a special requirement: mana can only be consumed through Mystic Mercury, and mana can only be restored through Realm of Mercury.

Trait Selection

Boundless Sanctuary and Born to Cleanse are limited options, with Cleanse Filth and Utmost Devotion becoming options later on.

In the early stages, you need to simply acquire damage boosts through Boundless Sanctuary and Born to Cleanse at levels 60 and 75. Because mana and gear are difficult to accumulate early on, it's virtually impossible to meet the minimum damage requirement of over 10,000 mana.

At level 60, Boundless Sanctuary provides 35% bonus elemental damage, 25% bonus damage, and 37% bonus weapon damage. Adding Baptism of Purity (approximately 25%, not counting elemental damage) and the base damage boost, and you'll get a 20-30% bonus damage boost, for a total of approximately 3.7x damage (not counting bonus damage from mana and mana consumption), which is generally above average for all classes. (Most classes fluctuate around 3x.)

As for the upper limit in the later stages, you can obtain Cleanse Filth and Utmost Devotion, which grant a 25% damage reduction mana, and increase your damage by over 4x. It might not seem like much, but the main benefit is the level 75 trait, which grants you other ways to spend mana. Maintaining a constant Mithril bar allows you to maintain your Realm of Mercury state (which grants a significant amount of mana recovery). Spending mana also grants you damage bonuses to other mana-consuming abilities.

Skill Selection

Recommended Skills: Thunder Spike and Groundshaker

Rosa 2's initial skill, Frost Spike, isn't very powerful early on; you need to trigger Frostbite before its projectile damage increases. Consider switching to Groundshaker and focusing on Steep Strike.

Active Skills

Rosa 2 requires many skills and support abilities. If you don't want to waste time leveling, you can also acquire these skills directly from Auction House using Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium.

Level 3 Thunder Spike

• level 3 Haunt
• level 7 High Voltage
• level 22 Multistrike
• level 22 Added Lightning Damage
• level 55 Willpower

Level 14 Bull's Rage

• level 27 Well-Fought Battle
• level 55 Preparation

Level 20 Electrocute

Passive Skills

Thunder Focus (Focus Buff and Restrain)

After you have Precise skills, you can change it to the following passive:

• Precise: Electric Conversion (Focus Buff and Restrain)
• Precise: Spell Amplification (Focus Buff and Restrain)

Talents

God of Knowledge has no attack speed, and the medium talents aren't very good. If you're looking for increased attack damage, consider starting with God of Might or Goddess of Hunting.

• Goddess of Hunting (Perception and Rushed)
• Assassin (Conductive)
• Bladerunner (Waiting Attack)
• Ronin (Endless Fervor)
• Lich (Off the Beaten Track)

Gear

The following equipment recommendations are primarily Legendary items, but you can also craft your own using materials, saving some Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium.

Weapons

• Oathkeeper (usable up to Timemark 8)
• Farewell Desire (usable but nerfed in SS9)

You can craft weapons from level 86-99 early on, using a claw or dagger as your base to gain the damage bonuses for each weapon.

Affix Requirements:

Prefix: Physical + Physical Damage of the Item + Lightning Damage/Melee Damage/Dexterity

Suffix: Attack Speed + Elemental Damage + Combo Chance (If the prefix includes Dexterity, choose Physical Damage as the suffix)

Helmet

• Scarlet Decree (for transitional use only)
• Opening Heart

Affix Requirements

• Prefix: Shield + Shield + Dexterity
• Suffix: Critical Hit/Critical Damage/Shield/Resistance

Chest

• Undying Faith
• Corrupted Bulwark (Shield nerfed in SS9)

Gloves

• Ralph's Laws
• Thunder Manipulator

Shoes

• Grace Boots

You can create your own boots using a base item. The required affixes are as follows:

• Prefix: Skill Level + Double Shield
• Suffix: Resistance/Move Speed/Critical Hit

Necklace

• Despised Shadow
• Vortex Heart
• Ocean of Rock
• Mourner's Shadow

Ring

Can be crafted. Required affixes are as follows:

• Prefixes: Shield, Dexterity, Ignite
• Suffixes: Resistance and Critical

Remembrance

• Memory of Origin: Base Attribute - Dexterity, Inherent Affixes (Critical Hit/Critical Damage, and Attack Speed)
• Memory of Discipline: Base Attribute - Shield, Inherent Affixes (Critical Hit/Critical Damage, and Attack Speed)
• Memory of Progress: Base Attribute - Attack Speed, Inherent Affixes (Critical Hit/Critical Damage, and Attack Speed)

The above are the skills and weapons needed for Rosa 2. This build is sufficient until Timemark 8. After Timemark 8, you can focus on stacking mana to over 10,000, significantly increasing your damage. Overall, Rosa 2 isn't top-tier in SS9, roughly Tier B, and Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium required to cultivate her is significantly higher than a Tier S build.

Today, we'd like to take a look at Netherrealm endgame in Torchlight Infinite SS9. Netherrealm is the endgame content unlocked after completing the main storyline. Here, players can explore challenging dungeons, defeat bosses, and collect FE to upgrade their characters.

Netherrealm endgame features multiple planes, each with unique levels and challenges, and introduces mechanics like Spacetime Turbulence mode and Resonance, allowing players to further customize their gaming experience.

So, here, we'll introduce Netherrealm exploration path in Torchlight Infinite and provide some practical tips to make your endgame progress all the way to Timemark 7 easier. Without further ado, let's get started.

Timemark Level Advancement

Once you complete Chapter 3 and return to town, the endgame battle begins.

From here, simply go to the top right of town, climb the stairs, and interact with the items on the ground. This will then lead you into Netherrealm, where you'll progress through different Timemark levels.

If you're a Path of Exile veteran, I'll explain this another way to make it easier to understand: Timemarks 1-7 are essentially equivalent to White Map in POE, Timemark 8 is Yellow Map, and all subsequent maps are equivalent to Red Map and above.

In terms of progression, the mechanics are quite simple. You initially activate Glacial Abyss, and all other areas are locked. As you reach the corresponding Timemark levels, you gradually unlock these areas.

In Glacial Abyss, you simply choose one area to explore. After completing two of them, you'll be able to fight the boss. This will upgrade your Timemark to level 2. From there, you can also enter Blistering Lava Sea.

After that, you simply need to return to Glacial Abyss in Timemark 2, complete two more battles there, and then fight the second-level boss before you can proceed to Blistering Lava Sea and do the same thing. After completing these two areas, you'll advance to Tier 3, unlock Steel Forge, and repeat the same process until Tier 7.

Here's a quick tip: Don't forget to check the small black hole in the upper right corner of each area icon; it indicates that you can still earn passive points by completing that area, meaning you haven't fully completed it yet.

Once you have all the passive points and have completed all areas, a small arrow will appear on the icon in the lower left corner, indicating that it's time to advance to the next level.

Farming Beacons

In fact, to access these areas, you also need to own a Beacon corresponding to the specific area you want to enter and the specific Timemark level you're interested in.

This means that to enter Glacial Abyss, you need to use Glacial Abyss Beacon from Timemark 1, then Blistering Lava Sea Beacon from Tier 2, and so on.

Note that you can earn a fair amount of Beacon drops simply by playing the game and clearing the entire map, so your sustain should be no problem. I don't recommend jumping into a Boss Rush right away.

If you run out of Beacon and need more, you can trade directly with Zac the Hunter. You can exchange your Netherrealm Resonance for Beacons of different levels in different areas or other valuable Torchlight Infinite Currency.

Void Chart Points

As you advance and defeat bosses, you may notice these Void Chart Passive Points appearing in the upper right corner of the screen. You can earn up to 92 points.

These Passive Points can be spent on specific mechanics in Void Chart. You can also use them to increase Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium drop rate from every monster you encounter, increase Beacon drop rate, or basically anything else you want to farm. There are many different options available; simply click on the configuration you're interested in.

Talent Tree Settings

Then, the game will then directly show you how to allocate your Passive Points to the corresponding talent tree. I personally recommend starting your passive tree by picking up all nodes that grant bonus Netherrealm Resonance when killing bosses.

Next, you'll want to focus on acquiring Beacon nodes. Currently, bosses have a fairly high chance of dropping a large amount of Resonance at once. This node converts 0.3% of that Resonance into Beacon. Basically, all Beacons are processed the same way up to tier 7.

Beyond that, you can increase boss spawn times to spawn multiple bosses per map, which not only keeps the map running smoothly but also earns a considerable amount of Torchlight Infinite FE.

If you have six or more modifiers on your map, you'll have a 50% chance of encountering two additional bosses, which will really speed up your strategy and earn you a considerable amount of currency.

There's also Medium Node, which has a 10% chance of granting you a Winding Key. If you're not satisfied with your setup, you can also use all of these points to acquire additional Energy Cores and Embers. These three items - Keys, Energy Cores, and Embers - are highly sought-after commodities, and you can passively generate a fair amount of them, which you can then sell on Auction House for a good profit.

Currently, a bag of 999 Netherrealm Resonance sells for around 40 to 50 Flame Elementium, the currency we used to trade almost everything in Torchlight Infinite. This substantial gain should be enough to get you started and acquire items for whatever build you're playing.

In short, Torchlight Infinite's Netherrealm endgame has quite a few strategies to employ, and while we've been able to cover some of them, we can't show you how it works in action. Trust us, it's fun to explore and try things out for yourself. Give it a try!

Pets have always been an essential part of exploration in Torchlight Infinite, as they offer more than just cosmetic benefits, they also boost gameplay. This is no exception in the currently active SS9 Outlaw Season, with some even significantly impacting your currency farming or character power-up.

Among the many pets available for summoning, those that increase the drop rate and quality of loot are particularly important to consider during gameplay. Therefore, here we will introduce you to the list of the best pets in Torchlight Infinite SS9, including the attributes they have and the effectiveness they bring.

Evaluation Criteria

Before we begin, here are the criteria used in this guide to evaluate the various pets. First and foremost, the pet's impact on your character's ability to farm Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium, which is crucial for success in the game.

Next, consider your daily farming strategy after using this pet, such as whether your Diesel strategy will change, or whether a more convenient grinding strategy is available. With these two criteria in mind, guide lists several pets worth recommending to you.

Eternity Summoner

In conversations among players, it is more inclined to be called a dark search pet, because its luminous effect will allow you to have higher visibility and promote your progress in some explorable areas with low brightness and many obstacles.

But it provides you with more than just that. After you equip it, the quality of the rewards you get after completing each battle will increase by 25%, and there is a 45% chance to unlock two additional reward types, which plays a huge role in your farming of Blueprints.

Thanks to this high percentage, Eternity Summoner is a natural best pet. Furthermore, Pactspirit required to craft it, while legendary, is not very difficult to farm and can be obtained in about half an hour, making it very easy to obtain compared to other pets.

Kong

Next up is Kong. While it doesn't improve the quality or quantity of your loot, it does have a 10% chance to double the amount of Memory dropped, which can directly increase your character's physical damage, attack speed, and critical strike rating - essential stats for players who love dealing damage.

However, Kong has some drawbacks—it's difficult to fight Tier 2 and Tier 3 bosses, which means you can't farm the very useful Memory Fragments from those fights, slowing down exploration to a crawl, even stagnant.

Additionally, Twin Reflections, which can be used to craft multiple rewards and crafted items, become more difficult to farm. If you want to make this pet more effective, you can only increase its level and survivability by investing more Torchlight Infinite Currency in it, but this often takes a lot of time and effort.

Cube

Cube is currently one of the most popular pets in Torchlight Infinite, primarily due to its bonus of dropping 20 additional Crystals and Divinity Stones, as well as its 22% chance to double all drops.

However, please note that the developers are intentionally reducing Cube's spawn rate. Therefore, if you want to take advantage of this pet's immense potential for rapid farming and smooth exploration, you may need to invest more time and in-game currency in Gacha system.

Nightmare

Due to the buffs to Dream affix in Torchlight Infinite Season 9, this pet has become a highly sought-after tier 1 pet. It increases the amount of loot you receive from killing certain Nightmare monsters by 40%, and has a 10% chance of doubling the quality of loot in these challenges.

Although player feedback suggests the quality of loot in Nightmare challenges is generally low this season, the sheer quantity is undeniable! Excess or worthless items can be placed on Auction House in exchange for more Torchlight Infinite currency.

Mistville Orphan

As for pets that only grant benefits within the town of Mistville, that's a matter of opinion. This pet grants a 10% chance of receiving three treasure chests and skipping the subsequent battle after completing clockwork in this small town. Its primary purpose is to reduce the time spent on these quests and challenges.

This is very necessary for players who are new to Torchlight Infinite, but for those who can skillfully pass the level, the effectiveness of the buffs this pet has is minimal, and it will only be of some use after it is upgraded to level 6.

Dorothy

Similarly, Dorothy, which grants you 5-10 additional Compasses per level, is currently a hot topic among players. Many consider it the best tool for farming this important item, as the amount of bonuses it provides increases with level. However, aside from this single purpose, it serves no other purpose.

These are the pet options currently available in Torchlight Infinite SS9 that are worth trying as your exploration allies. In reality, they're the same wearable gear you'd place in your build, and you'll need to replace or remove them accordingly to facilitate easier exploration. So remember, don't set your options in stone. Happy gaming!

Torchlight Infinite SS9 Outlaw's endgame mode introduces new crime-themed gameplay, allowing players to earn increased rewards by participating in high-stakes Carjack missions, Crime Ratings, and Black Market Bounties.

Additionally, the new season introduces several changes, including a series of Hero Trait reworks, loot filter upgrades, a new skill system, and improved endgame loot. Therefore, now is the perfect time to tackle Outlaw's endgame!

However, a good build is essential for successfully advancing through the endgame. Here, we've chosen Arrow Einherjar Strength-Stacker, whose powerful damage output will greatly enhance our endgame efforts.

This is essentially a Sentinel skill, but its mechanics are more similar to Path of Exile's Mirage Archer - simply a Sentry system that stays with you.

It's worth noting that this build is very expensive and not suitable for the early game. At first, it might seem ridiculously expensive, especially when our Mind Control build could be far more effective with a much smaller Torchlight Infinite Currency budget.

The problem is, in this game, you need a similar item setup to fully utilize this build. Therefore, it's more geared towards Deepspace than running a regular dungeon.

Arrow Einherjar Build Skills

Now, let's take a look at how this build works.

Obviously, the entire build revolves around Einherjar, which acts a bit like a regular Sentinel skill - you place it down and it deals damage.

Additionally, Arrow Einherjar skill lets you fire arrows like a totem, allowing you to summon an arrow-shooting sentry. This skill is limited to bows and crossbows and scales with Dexterity.

Of course, all of this revolves around the final support skill - Fellowship. This skill buffs sentries deployed by supported skills, increasing their damage, tracking range, and duration, while also reducing their cast frequency. More importantly, it also allows Sentry to follow the player, dealing damage at any time.

So, we've placed some totems here so that whenever I move them, they're ready to fire. We also have an automated system that repositions them every 10 meters, so we can achieve full-screen clears without pressing any buttons.

If you put them on your back and use Fellowship, these sentries will follow you. In Torchlight Infinite, there's something called tracking range, and you can get up to 50% tracking range on the gloves.

This build has a tracking range of one and a half screens, meaning that if they're tracking an enemy around the corner, they'll already be firing. This mechanic makes it much easier to challenge boss arenas, as they'll sometimes be firing before the enemy even spawns.

Strength Stacking vs Dexterity Stacking

Next, you might be wondering why this build prioritizes Strength stacking over Dexterity stacking. It's simple: while Dexterity stacking provides more damage than Strength stacking, it doesn't increase defense as much.

The life and armor boosts from stacking Strength are crucial, as many classes focus on dealing a lot of damage first, then working on defense before finally reaching Deepspace. Without this skill built into the character, this becomes difficult to achieve. Even Mind Control builds present the same problem.

How To Improve Stats And Damage?

There are a few different passive tree boosts that can improve stats, and while we haven't used them in this build yet, we can get them with Divinity Slates.

For example, every 24 points of Strength increases armor by 1%. Every 20 points of Strength increases fire damage by 1%, and every 5 points of Strength increases maximum life by 1.

On top of that, we get +1% damage per 27 stats from Priceless Amulet and all stats and strength from Priceless gear. Our survivability is essentially the same all the time.

Another thing you can do now is swap Fellowship for Quick Advancement when targeting a single target, and then swap your Blurry Steps for Aim, which can significantly increase your single-target damage. Quick Advancement essentially negates Mirage Archer stats, but allows for more stacking totems, which essentially means more damage.

Talent Tree

As for the talent tree, let's quickly go over some of the nodes you should be focusing on.

First up is Shared Fate, added in SS9. This essentially acts as a Sentry automation mechanic. When there's no Sentry within 10 meters, your Sentry's main ability triggers every 1 second, meaning you don't need to spend extra Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium on an Activation Medium. This talent is especially useful for builds that rely on Sentry, allowing for constant deployment and area control.

Another crucial talent is Co-Resonance, a blending on the belt. You can blend Oasis and Co-Resonance together so that your attack and cast speed actually work with your Sentry. Without this attribute, you'll essentially deal no damage, and you'll have to increase your Cast Frequency for Sentries.

Next up is Dress Licker, which converts 20% of incoming physical damage into fire damage, which is really good. This slightly defensive talent can significantly boost your survivability, but it's likely overlooked entirely in many hero talent trees.

Archery Bond node on the skill tree is also very useful, as it grants Sentry bonuses to attack speed and projectile velocity, which can be further enhanced by stacking Strength.

As for Arrow Einherjar ultimate skill setup, all I can tell you is that if you have the secondary skills on your primary, upgrade them to five stars here. Your upgraded skill means you'll deal 20% more damage per secondary skill. Yes, we didn't do anything special; we've increased our damage by 44% overall just by upgrading these sub-skills.

But in terms of endgame mapping, that's what you're aiming for. But the jump from a normal dungeon to Deepspace is quite profound. If you want to farm Deepspace, you'll need to invest more FE to upgrade these talents to feel more comfortable.

Overall, this Arrow Einherjar build is quite good in my opinion. If you're a Strength-Stack fan and are adept at utilizing Sentry mechanic to boost your damage output, this playstyle is definitely for you! However, as we mentioned before, this build is quite expensive and requires a significant investment of gear and resources to achieve optimal results. See you next time!

Recently, Torchlight Infinite launched a new season called Outlaw Season, introducing a variety of new features to players, including a new trait called Unsullied Blade, a new seasonal mechanic called Outlaw system, and numerous gameplay and quality-of-life improvements.

Thanks to the new Unsullied Blade trait, Rosa focuses more on dealing elemental damage to enemies. However, this introduces a new problem: these damaging abilities require mana, so higher mana stacks provide a more sustained level of damage throughout combat.

However, since there are so many options for stacking Rosa 2 mana in the game, this guide will help you identify the best options for maximizing this effect, as well as some precautions when using them.

1. Tyrant's Iron Fist

First up, we'd like to introduce Tyrant's Iron Fist. It not only increases your maximum mana by 160-200 points, but also increases your Critical Strike Rating and Damage by 5% for every mana you spend - a significant benefit not offered by many offensive gear.

Furthermore, these gloves regenerate 2%-3% of your mana per second, making your damage output even more durable. Generally speaking, in endgame content, you'll consume over 200,000 mana every four seconds, so these gloves are extremely effective in ensuring Rosa 2's sustained damage output and maximizing its damage output.

However, it's important to note that after equipping Tyrant's Iron Fist, you should avoid spending large amounts of Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium on affixes that increase critical strike rating and damage capability on gear other than your weapon, as these stats don't stack.

2. Glacier Caster Shield

In addition to Tyrant's Iron Fist, Glacier Caster Shield also gives you a significant advantage when spending mana. Besides the usual benefits like increased maximum mana (214–234) and mana regeneration per second (200–240), this shield also provides a 26%-30% increase in Sealed Mana Compensation.

Furthermore, Glacier Caster Shield increases your attacks and spells by (13–15) to (23–26) physical damage for every 1000–1050 mana spent, stacking up to 200 times. Players report that this averages out to a staggering 5100 physical damage in combat.

This level of damage increase completely offsets the inherent fixed damage of some weapons. This allows you to completely ignore fixed damage scaling when equipping Rosa 2 with weapons, and instead focus on maximizing other stats like critical strike, attack speed, and accuracy.

3. Compensatory Life

Compared to the previous two pieces of gear, the 3%-4% mana boost provided by Compensatory Life belt for every 100 mana spent is a bit insignificant, but it's worth noting that it can reach up to 360%, a gain you can achieve in regular low-level exploration.

In addition, this 3%-6% spell damage increase per 100 mana spent, for a maximum of 216%, gives Rosa 2 even greater elemental damage, making it adaptable to a wider range of combat scenarios.

Notably, this belt de-emphasizes mana regeneration instead of mana regeneration, directly increasing mana recovery by 48%-50%, making it very useful in faster-paced battles.

Even if you're unlucky enough to take significant damage, Compensatory Life grants you a level 25-30 Spell Amplification while at low health. This grants you 37%-44.5% bonus spell damage.

4. Micro Fate: Mana% & Medium Fate: Mana%

As you can see from the previous gear options available for Rosa 2 mana stacking, the best way to maximize mana costs is to ensure you have as much mana as possible and a maximum mana pool.

Thus, Tier 2 or higher Mana affixes on Helmets, Chests, Boots, and Rings are crucial for Rosa 2, both in terms of percentage and numerical boosts.

However, maintaining these affixes at their maximum level requires a significant expenditure of Torchlight Infinite Currency, requiring the assistance of other options, such as 9 Micro Fate: Mana% and 4 Medium Fate: Mana%.

After equipping these nodes, your maximum mana will increase further, giving Rosa 2 an inexhaustible supply of mana to achieve even greater elemental damage.

5. Memory Of Discipline

This Hero Memories item has been frequently mentioned by Rosa players in previous seasons because it not only provides a basic fixed mana bonus but also boosts your Cleanse Filth trait, allowing you to deal even greater damage.

These are the top options for maximizing mana stacking for Rosa 2 in the current Torchlight Infinite Outlaw Season. In fact, in addition to these, items that increase attack speed or reduce skill cooldowns also qualify.

This is because these items, for the same mana, can stack more mana per second and gain more buffs than slower builds or those with longer cooldowns, thus achieving even greater elemental damage.

However, due to the sheer number of options in the game that meet these criteria, I won't go into detail here. It's worth reminding you that you need to choose the corresponding option based on your exploration needs, rather than blindly pursuing the most popular T0 option. I wish you a happy game!

With the exception of a few specific game types, most games now have a dedicated currency system that plays a crucial role in the game. For example, in action-RPGs, character enhancements and exchanging items or gear all rely on currency.

Different ARPGs use different names for their currencies based on their gameplay characteristics. For example, in Torchlight Infinite, the currency is called Flame Elementium.

While currency farming strategies generally don't change significantly, some subtle differences may occur due to mechanic adjustments brought about by season updates.

Based on this, we'll introduce the best strategies for farming Flame Elementium in Torchlight Infinite SS9.

SS9 Main Changes

SS9 Outlaw Season, the game's latest season, launched on July 18th, introducing new heroes, new events, and new mechanics, as well as buffs to some existing heroes.

These changes mean more farming channels for currency in the game, and improved farming efficiency through more powerful heroes.

Bosses As The Primary Enemy Clearing Type

This method requires you to focus on spawning boss-type enemies throughout the map. These enemies not only have the potential to drop Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium, but also other valuable items such as embers, reverberations, and other crafting materials.

This strategy requires no high-level gear to begin with, making it both easy to execute and efficient. After defeating Time Mark 7 Traveler, you'll unlock two key nodes that grant a 25% chance of spawning four bosses on the map even without a compass.

Building on this foundation, you can continue to build Eterna tree to ensure Eterna spawns, thereby increasing the number of eterna monsters you can kill and the chance of Flame Elementium drops.

Additionally, investing in God of War tree can increase your monster farming speed by speeding up map movement. Unlocking ember-related nodes in Commodities tree can increase your loot yield.

Note that if you haven't unlocked Time Mark 7 Traveler yet, it's best to unlock Starshards nodes to speed up your progress; otherwise, your currency farming will be slowed down.

As for which maps to deploy enemies on, it's recommended to choose simple, linear maps whenever possible and skip the league mechanic tower sequences, as complex maps will waste extra time exploring.

Generally speaking, Wall of Sorrows in Thunder Waste zone is a good choice, allowing you to easily kill all monsters on the map without missing any bosses. Deniman Village in Glacial Abyss is also worth visiting.

Thankfully, valuable eternal monsters or special spawning bosses are marked with green dots above them, making them easier to identify. Sometimes, you'll even encounter two bosses on the same map.

Defeating these monsters and bosses will give you the following loot:

• Flame Elementium
• Embers
• Reverberations
• Pages of Eterna
• Solidified Tears
• Boss Candles

After entering Time Mark 8, you can gain additional boss loot by adding Giantism or Snowpaper-related nodes. If you're still short on Flame Elementium, you can also sell other items to other players for currency.

Collecting Rewards Through Heist Events

This farming method requires you to earn tower coins to travel to the central vault and crack it within a specified time. Each time a vault is cracked, the event alert level increases, ultimately unlocking a battle with the chief security officer.

Before you proceed, you'll need to ensure your passive skill tree has the following features unlocked:

• Ensure heist events spawn.
• Increase your chances of receiving boss invitations by heist events
• Increase loot drop chances through Commodities tree.
• Using God of War tree for speed.

When completing a heist event, be sure to look for Whisper of Bosses option first. If not, select Whisper of Wealth. If a heist event spawns a boss mod, you'll be redirected directly to the rewards page after completing the event.

Items that can drop from heist events include:

• Memory Scraps
• Epic Memory Threads
• Boss Invitations
• Occasional Hero Memories

Both Memory Scraps and Boss Invitations can be sold for more Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium. Alternatively, you can strive to clear Plane Watchers at difficulty 7-2. Each kill will grant:

• Two guaranteed Time Mark 8 beacons (worth 3-5 Flame Elementium each)
• A Realm Lord Token
• Potential precise gems and Flame Elementium

If you want to continue earning more in-game currency through heist events or Plane Watchers in T8, you can unlock chest nodes for more loot and add Sandlord spawns to the map, or combine this with the first method.

Additional Tips

Whether you farm Flame Elementium through the above two methods or by completing other regular quests and challenges, keep the following in mind:

• Besides challenging Plane Watchers, don't blindly jump into higher difficulties, as farming currency is fastest at Time Mark 7-0.
• Only use the league mechanic when a bounty is available.
• Whenever possible, challenge Plane Watchers at difficulty 7-2, as boss loot drops are highest at this time.

Of course, if you've acquired enough Flame Elementium to power up your character to a new level, you can continue farming using the above methods and tips at Time Mark 8! I wish you success!

In Torchlight Infinite SS9, Oasis refers to a new game mode and area centered around resource management, base building, and automated resource gathering. Players can build and manage their own Oasis base, deploy workers, use gliders, and participate in raids to gather resources and craft powerful items.

Oasis system is designed to provide players with a semi-offline way to gather resources and level up their characters even when offline.

Here, we’ll take a look at how to use Oasis system in Timemark 7 and 8. It’s worth noting that this strategy typically benefits from pets in Oasis region, especially those with Legendary pet effects. These have a significant chance of dropping rare endgame currency, making them valuable for players who prioritize resource acquisition.

However, this method actually allows you to earn a steady supply of Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium even without pets. It’s not only incredibly easy, but also suitable for farming offline.

How Does Oasis System Work?

First, you can access the main Oasis interface by speaking with Jessomina. Once there, you’ll see a number of buildings that can be upgraded and managed. Your goal is to upgrade all of them as much as possible.

The maximum level of buildings in Oasis is tied to your Core level and island level, and you can only upgrade your Oasis Core by reaching different breakpoints in Boss Conquest. Reaching breakpoints like T7-T8 actually rewards you with more loot, which is quite significant.

Notice the star icon in the upper right corner of the main interface? That’s Boss Conquest. The higher your Conquest, the higher your Core level will be, and the faster your buildings will develop.

About Buildings In Oasis

Now that we know how to increase the maximum level of a building, let’s take a look at each building.

Mine

In the southeast, you’ll find Mine. This building produces Ingots and Magic Crystals. You’ll need to keep Mine fully staffed.

Early on, each section produces different resources. You need these resources to upgrade other buildings and increase the level of your trade routes.

Now, to the southwest, you’ll find Jessomina. Here, you can set a worker level threshold so that it automatically fires workers below a certain level. This is useful for firing workers you don’t need so you don’t have to spend extra time cleaning them up later.

Logistics Department

Now let’s take a look at Logistics Department to the west. This is where you process your cargo. The workers here help you process resources around the map, upgrading some buildings and providing resources for cargo transport.

Sherlock is also here. However, I personally don’t use him much. He allows you to convert excess gold into random probes, but it doesn’t seem worth it given the high gold cost.

Port

Next, head north and you’ll find Port, where Glider and Airship are located. Airship is like a trade route, and Glider is like a mapper in Path of Exile.

Each Glider gains three energy points, and energy regenerates over time. I usually choose to send Gliders at Timemarks 7 and 8 because they offer the best loot. If you run out of energy and try to send resources, it will allow you to use gold instead of energy. Gold can’t be traded, and its best use is to keep buildings running after energy is depleted.

Airship can send resources to four different islands. Sand is the island with the shortest route, Reservoir is second, Jungle is third, and Utopia is the island with the longest route.

Blending

Finally, a word about Blending area in the northeast. Blending is a ritualistic process used to add specific blending affixes to your character’s belt. These affixes significantly affect your character’s build and power. Blended equipment can still be used in other crafting activities, such as Dream Interpretation, Corrosion, or Branding, depending on the equipment type.

Complete Island Orders And Level Up Faster

Buildings can be upgraded using Oasis Coins earned through gameplay. Upgrading buildings unlocks new features, such as treasure stashes, and improves resource gathering efficiency. The key to collecting coins and accelerating your upgrades is to complete island orders using Gliders and Airships.

To complete an order, click Deploy on any Airship and select the island you want to send it to. A menu will pop up, showing the current order level and delivery requirements. Then, click Bring Supplies and Load All in the lower-right corner to confirm and complete the deployment.

Each completed order adds an additional point of experience to the island. Higher-level islands offer better rewards. Until all islands except Utopia are maxed out, you don’t need to worry about which island to send your troops to. Simply complete the orders for the islands that aren’t maxed out.

Once your islands are maxed out, you can decide which method works best for you. However, I recommend focusing your supply deliveries in the following order: Jungle, Reservoir, and Sand. You can choose whichever one best suits your playstyle, as there’s really no wrong choice, and I don’t mind mixing and matching based on your available resources.

T7–T8 Mapping

Now, let’s take a look at how Oasis mechanic works when mapping. You can focus on passive skills to have a chance to spawn this mechanic, or you can use a compass to optimize the map. That being said, I don’t recommend using a compass, as they cost 4 to 3 FE each, which, in my opinion, isn’t worth the effort.

Oasis appears as a separate Cloud Oasis within the map. Touching it spawns waves of monsters, which drop workers for your Oasis, logistics resources for your Logistics Center, and currency for your town, but primarily, it drops general loot.

That’s pretty much all there is to setting up your Oasis. Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty straightforward, and it carries over into the endgame, especially once your town is up and running, making it a great way to speed up your base development and earn more currency.

Torchlight Infinite is a solid action-RPG with stunning graphics that exemplify other action-RPGs on the market. Combat is fast-paced and engaging. There’s a wide variety of build and skill options. The campaign is short and easy to follow, allowing you to reach the endgame quickly.

On July 18th, Torchlight Infinite SS9 officially began. This season introduced several significant adjustments, including new gameplay, new content, and new hero features. Many heroes received adjustments, a key one being the increase in the number of selectable talent boards from three to four, with the fourth board now available from any of the available talent branches. Season 9 also nerfed early-game items, impacting some early builds.

So, how do these Season 9 adjustments affect all heroes? What are the SS9 meta builds?

D Tier

• Seething Spirit Rehan Build
• Spider Tank Moto Build

D tier builds excel in certain areas but are flawed in others, making them not highly recommended.

Rehan, utilizing Seething Spirit, can deal decent damage in the early game through Anger stacking, but becomes somewhat lackluster and cumbersome in the mid-to-late game, and his survivability becomes apparent against powerful bosses.

WhileSummon Spider Tank hasn’t been nerfed in Season 9, its summons’ AI isn’t as good as it was in Season 8, resulting in its less-than-perfect damage output.

C Tier

• Spacetime Elapse Youga Build
• Ring of Ice Thea Build

C tier builds are similar to D tier builds in that they can’t handle every situation.

Youga has a cool mechanic; his illusions can cast spells alongside him, allowing him to unleash some impressive crowd control abilities, making him very effective for farming monsters. Despite receiving a buff in Season 9, he still struggles against high-health or agile bosses.

Ring of Ice Thea offers excellent crowd control and area-of-effect damage, which make she can make amount of Torchlight Infinite Currency in Season 9 events like Carjack and Security Crackdown. However, similar to Spacetime Elapse Youga, this build’s lack of damage becomes apparent when facing bosses.

B Tier

• Frost Spike Rosa build
• Unsullied Blade Rosa build
• Howling Gale Selena build

B tier builds are effective in most situations but require a certain level of skill.

Since Season 9 has enhanced projectile play, Frost Spike has become a very useful skill, dealing 200% weapon damage and a 25% chance to freeze the target. However, the major drawback of this build is its average damage against single enemies.

Unsullied Blade Rosa is a mixed damage build that boosts mana regeneration by bleeding enemies, while also dealing decent area-of-effect damage. It’s a decent build, but requires a high investment in Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium to be effective.

Howling Gale creates a gust of wind within a radius, continuously striking enemies within it. This skill is particularly effective against large groups of enemies, but it lacks burst damage.

A Tier

• Wind Stalker Erika build
• Thunder Slash Thea build
• Seething Rehan build
• Carino Ice Lances build
• Gemma Frost Fire Fusion build
• Bing Blast Nova build

A tier builds can meet most needs and offer strong damage and combat capabilities, but they also have some drawbacks or are difficult to cultivate.

Wind Stalker Erika relies on critical hits for damage and has insane mobility, allowing for very fast farming. Her only drawback is that she’s not very effective against bosses.

Thunder Slash offers powerful burst damage and decent AoE damage, but its mobility isn’t great.

Seething Rehan is a high-burst build, particularly useful against bosses.

Carino Ice Lances offers high damage, a fast cast speed, and a flashy, agile style, making it quick to deal with both minions and bosses, but it’s a classic glass cannon.

Gemma Frost Fire Fusion uses two elements, capable of freezing bosses and adapting to various situations. This is a somewhat complex build and not suitable for beginners.

Bing Blast Nova unleashes powerful bombs that can instantly clear the entire screen of monsters. This build requires a high gear requirement.

S Tier

• Thunder Spike Erika build
• Whirlwind Rehan build
• Minion Iris build
• Chain Lightning Youga build
• Autobomber Gemma build

S Tier builds offer a higher damage cap than A Tier builds, but the controls are relatively simple, making them enjoyable for most players.

Erika can dish out incredible damage in Season 9 with Lightning Burst, Projectile Chaining, and Critical Hit Scaling. Her speed is impressive, her damage is deadly, and she can decimate bosses.

Next up is Rehan. This build offers excellent mobility and incredibly powerful melee damage, making it a perfect fit for a solo player.

Summoner builds are always a favorite for some players because they’re easy to use. Iris’s summoner build doesn’t require a lot of Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium, but it still provides enough DPS to handle even high-level bosses.

Chain Lightning Youga build boasts incredible AoE damage and incredible mobility, effectively melting even bosses. It lacks some defensive capabilities.

Autobomber Gemma is simple yet powerful, dealing high damage with frequent explosions, allowing you to clear the screen. She also offers consistent and stable crowd control, making her a highly recommended choice for all players.

The above is the ranking of some recommended builds for Torchlight Infinite SS9. Although the nerfs to each build are not big, if you want to play happily, you have to take a lot of time to cultivate this hero. SS9 weakened the item drops rate, while you need to take the farming speed into consideration when choosing a build.

In Torchlight Infinite Season 9: Outlaw, Rosa fans finally have good news: the hero has received a major overhaul. Not only has the developer added a new Hero Trait, Zealot of War, but her classic combat style, Unsullied Blade, has also been completely reworked this season with new mechanics that significantly impact Rosa 2’s gameplay.

Since Outlaw Season launched on July 17th, we’ve all seen how powerful this reworked Rosa 2 hero is, especially when paired with an Unsullied Blade build. Her common build strategy focuses on mana stacking to maximize damage output, making her particularly effective against endgame bosses.

Here, we’ll take a look at how this refreshed Unsullied Blade Rosa 2 build performs in Torchlight Infinite Outlaw Season! Let’s get started!

Gear

For Rosa 2’s gear, we typically choose a classic dual-wielding attack weapon, as the one-handed swords she drops during the campaign are all pretty much the same and underwhelming. However, after the campaign, there are a lot of ideal items for Rosa 2, such as:

• Scarlet Decree: This Helmet grants you increased DPS, converts a percentage of physical damage to fire, lightning, and cold damage, and increases the base armor of your gear.
• Despised Shadow: This necklace actually received a significant buff, now dealing more damage.
• Mercurial Torment: This new necklace grants you bonus elemental damage against enemies with Ailments, making it a good choice.
• Desire of Survival: Although Rosa 2 seems to be the only character who doesn’t need Desire of Survival Belt, it restores almost 65% of your maximum health when your health reaches a certain level and quickly knocks back nearby enemies.
• Silver Frost: This ring isn’t particularly useful, but it grants you some bonus stats, like increased Intelligence, Cold Damage, and Cold Resistance.
• Oathkeeper: This is a game-changing new weapon. This one-handed sword, which requires level 45 to equip, not only increases your weapon’s fire damage, attack speed, and elemental damage, but also boosts the elemental damage of your attack skills.

Skills

For the skill of Unsullied Blade Rosa 2, I recommend Frostbite. This allows you to freeze everything you hit on the first hit, significantly increasing your survivability and making it easier to transition into mapping in the late game. It also gives you a pretty excellent area clear.

Next is the core skill of this build, Unsullied Blade. The core mechanic of this skill set is to accumulate Mystic Mercury through non-channeled attack skills. Once maxed out, it transforms into Realm of Mercury, focusing on dealing elemental damage in the area.

Basically, once you get it, you won’t have to worry about mana at all until the late game, as you can consume and restore mana through your traits.

Thus, you’ll essentially be switching between using and not using the mana circle.

When you attack without the mana circle, it will consume your mana. However, each attack consumes 10% of your mana and grants you 10 Mystic Mercury.

When your mana reaches 100, the circle expands, and each attack restores 20% of your mana. Note that the circle doesn’t last very long, as it consumes 40 Mystic Mercury per second. So, after about two and a half seconds, your mana will be depleted again.

If you seize the opportunity and focus on attacking enemies during that time, you have a chance to escape unscathed and wait for the massive Torchlight Infinite Flame Elementium drop. Even if you don’t succeed, it won’t be the end of the world so soon.

It’s important to note that for most characters, when leveling up, you’ll want to tap Compound Source to maintain your mana when your mana is low. However, this isn’t necessary for Rosa 2, as you can’t restore mana through any means other than Unsullied Blade trait.

So, just go for Life Source and try not to panic and tap it when you see your mana dropping.

Passive Skill Tree

For Passive Tree, we generally prioritize Goddess of Hunting, as it grants us some Blessings, allowing us to stack more damage.

Of course, you can also diversify your Talent Tree a bit. However, I still recommend streamlining your Passive Tree as much as possible so you can unlock all the primary skill nodes as quickly as possible.

Second, we chose Bladerunner, which allows you to transfer damage from your off-hand to your main-hand. I think this node is quite good, and it also grants us increased attack speed.

Then, my third talent node is Prophet, which grants a lot of cold damage. Additionally, it increases the duration of your freeze, increases damage to enemies affected by it, and instantly freezes every enemy you encounter for the first time. This is fantastic, especially in the new Outlaw season, where enemies are everywhere and this node is incredibly useful.

Obtaining A Second Hero Trait

Another thing worth noting is that once you obtain your second Hero Trait, you’ll damage all enemies in your realm almost every half second, with the exact amount scaling depending on how much damage you deal to the highest rarity enemy in the realm.

So, if you’re fighting an elite enemy surrounded by a bunch of other enemies, you can gain a significant advantage. While the overall impact on the campaign isn’t huge - around 15% - it’s not drastic, but it does help.

Final Thoughts

That’s pretty much it for this Unsullied Blade Rosa 2 build guide in Torchlight Infinite. This should be a pretty smooth early Season 9 build, but it’s still quite effective well into the endgame.

The caveat is that you have to keep an eye on your weapons, which can be a bit frustrating. However, the new Outlaw mechanic is insane for getting new gear. You get items that not only have 12% more frost penetration, but also 10% more damage, which is insane. So, I highly recommend stopping by before the raid starts to try out Outlaw mechanic to help you get some suitable weapons. Good luck!
