Your Legendex will show you level & difficulty specific gear. Since you have one character I agree w @Zombikiss that aftermath is a good early build since all 4 items can drop at floor 40+. Meteor was recently nerfed but it is still a good way to get bang for your buck needing to kill mobs quickly. Try to get a Nadrogi amulet by farming epic+ nme at floor 100+. Best way to farm Nadrogi is crafting a Hunter ring (rebirth flight quest fortune) & using it on shrines so that epic nme is generated. Until u find Nadrogi, Astral Vindication is a decent ammy & drops at floor 100. Astral Communion for head is good early option, or you could go with Wanderers Cap for speed & exp. Here’s the aftermath build I used to get my 1st wizard started. It even has a farm build variation. Don’t worry about some of the gear having obsidian affixes (unless u already have some obsidian to use), just max out meteor skill to 40. Also max weapon damage on both the MH & OH.

Regarding my meteor comment, I should have clarified I was referring to the 2.3 patch note, “Dropping shatter and enigma’s crater damage to 25%” > [@Patch 2.3 - Patch Notes](http://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/patch-2-3-patch-notes/9517): > > Patch Notes Major Features Adding Test Dummy mode to Practice Test dummy has 1 trillion HP and massive health regeneration Timer set to infinite ( must manually quit ) Enemy will not attack Enemy is equipped with no resistance gear Adding AI Control mode to Practice, where AI controls your main character New pet slime… I also used an aftermath build & hiked to 1000 but after the introduction of Arcanist gear in the last patch I switched to barrage/time warp & love it! Now my wiz can fly through M3 500 for easy crystal farming & hiked to Floor 1000 to farm the new gear. I use the Wiz as hireling kited to a Warrior with 700% eternalized & maxed on luck/gold. Been tons of fun. Get an eternal about every 5-6 runs. Now I’m farming eternal pets, since after 6 months of playing I have…none. But since Stravix is just starting out, obtaining Arcanist gear at M3 floor 800 isn’t on the menu yet. I agree that aftermath is a great 1st build and is still very useful even after the recent changes. My only issue with aftermath was how it eats up FPS. Really slowed my iPad 😬 ---

Ok, been looking over the pics u sent. IMO the 1st thing you need to do is farm crystals. Word on the street is crystal farming is best at floors 161-165 for new characters. I’ve tried it and got good results. The best crystal farming is at floor 500 for future reference (rarer crystal drops). You need lots of sapphires, angelite, & kyanite. Use them to put specific epic affixes on gear. Then use diamond to roll higher affix stats. As your character gains levels & better gear you’ll need ruby for legend affix. I use these references when crafting gear: > **[Affixes](https://dungeonquest.fandom.com/wiki/Affixes)** > [@Rubik's Crystallography](http://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/rubiks-crystallography/1911): > > This thread will detail and describe the way that I save/manipulate/use Crystals in order to craft gear. This is, IMO, the best/most efficient method. First, all of the crystals. These are all the crystals in ascending order. Before anyone yells HAXOR!, these are NOT my crystals. The feat for converting and salvaging crystals is a great way to get higher level crystals. This is the method I use. X signifies a crystal that I DO NOT TOUCH. They will be the most important in… Best advice I have based on your current gear is to use the legendary items with the poison element. Use a weapon that has as many of following affixes as possible +5000 weapon damage, % weapon damage, % elemental (poison) damage. If you focus on using your MH weapon primary skill look for items with (or add affix) extra attack & multi-attack affixes. Keep in mind that extra attack & multi-attack only affect your MH weapon’s primary skill (barrage, comet, blast, pierce), and not your OH primary skill or any special skills (meteor, twister, orb, storm). If you go with MH primary skill, add attack speed affixes which will annihilate mobs. If you focus on special skills use items with reduced cool down. Max the heroic skill for the skill you plan to use (ex, barrage) to 20 and then add +10 skill (+10 barrage) to two gears so you have +40 total skill. Then add the following to various gear if you can, elemental critical (toxic), elemental critical damage (blight), critical damage, critical chance, crushing blow, and deadly strike. Use items with glasscannon, push the limit, or barbarian affixes. Be sure to have at least one +250 MP on hit affix. Put all your stat points into power for now. The higher the floors you go, you are gonna die, no matter how much health you got. Hit them before they hit you (barrage + attack speed). Make a sanctuary mythic amulet as soon as possible to help reduce annoying deaths 😆 If you go with barrage, use a ring that has bewilder talent which will stun the mobs. You can try to spam barrage & stun them til they dead! Once you start getting a lot of beryl & citrine you can create even more damage for your gear by changing the nature (of strength, of elements, of death), and talent (focus, amplify, empower, bewilder) on the item. You already have enough calcite to change the element on your gear to poison. If you go with a poison weapon, make all your gear poison via calcite, then when u got enough beryl change the nature to “of elements” or “of death” and watch your DPS increase nicely for the weapon skill you are focusing on in your build. I think you should try poison element with barrage + timewarp and see how much DPS you can generate. Try on different gears and compare DPS for the skill you primarily use. Here’s some stat caps to keep in mind: All procs 20% Glasscannon 100% Explosive 2000 Crit dmg 350% Crit chance 60% Crush blow 60% Deadly strike 60% Elemental Crit 40% Elem Crit Dmg% No limit Extra attack 4 Multi-attack 4 Piercing 60% Attack speed 60% Move speed 50% Bleed chance 60% Weaken 200% Block 60% Dodge 60% Defense 60% Clear cast 60% Reduced CD 60% Mana absorb 40% Resource cost 60% Purge 30% Damage reduction No limit Experience 200% socket Luck 650% 850% ascend Gold 650% 850% ascend Item drop 200% Hope this helps get you started & makes farming a little easier. 👌 [Next page](https://forums.dungeon-quest.com/t/level-79-wizard-needing-help-closed/11121.md?page=2)
