 === Unstable idols and where all your money went ===
 After successfully augmenting your items, or acquiring a well-augged item from someone else, the next step is to uns it into usability. The general piece of late game gear will be a legendary base, so it will have 5 stat slots you can mix around with uns. A good piece of gear will have 3 out of the 5 as useful stats, however I would consider the requirements for how well these stats are rolled are less stringent. I would call rolls on the item base well rolled if they fall around or above 0.5 max rolls and high rolled if they fall above 0.7 max rolls. Typically, you see one set of 3 useful well rolled stats about every 100 uns on a leg item (you will have to spend more for items with less stat rolls, such as epic or rare, to get the same result). A set of 4 happens probably every 500 uns or so, and a set of 5 is essentially a miracle. The high average uns spent for a good set of rolls is what causes the crafting of completed items for sale to be unprofitable. And remember: 99% of gamblers quit before hitting it big.

+* the quality and quantity of loot from a mob is determined by the player that deals the killing blow.  A player with max quantity & quality stats (qq) often will ask to get 'last hit' so their maxx qq stats can apply to the kill.  In this instance, every player who is eligible for loot (if you gave or healed dmg) will get loot at the max qq stats.  This means everyone would get more loot and better loot (which is very helpful for completing quests).

 A good time to try advancing zones is after immediately after levelling up, since you will lose minimal xp upon death (you will only lose the xp you gained since levelling up last).

 There are two possible paths in this tree for the right side, taking the upper path as shown or taking the lower path. They both result in the same ultimate goal (60 multi), but the paths there are vastly different in value. The path shown consists entirely of small nodes, which provide cast speed (which can help dpt) and int (which always helps dpt), while the alternate path includes a big node, but only provides mana regen and max mana, which does not serve to help dpt and only provides a cushion of max mana to allow lower dpt owls to cast more rotations of their runes before running out of mana.

 === Itemization ===
-In order to maximize the rate of xp gain, it is important to be able to complete quests as quickly and often as possible. The most common quest types are ones asking to loot specific categories of items (purveyor quests), so to facilitate this it is important to have as much item quant as possible. This can be done either by setting up quant items on a levelling build or by having another player using a quant build take the last hit on every enemy.

You can do this again by putting it onto the levelling build itself, having an external player with it, or by killing or assisting in the killing of bosses such as [[Stinktooth]] or [[Radulos]], which are guaranteed to drop several higher rarity items.

 === Decision Making ===
-Before you start picking up your loot drops, you should ask yourself if it helps you complete your current quest. For example, if you are in sewers and have a quest to kill 9 rats, it is best for you to avoid picking up any loot they drop in the hopes that a purveyor quest is coming soon. Saving the drops can allow you to build up many lootable items on the floor allowing for rapid fire completion of purveyor quests when they appear. Additionally, hold off on picking up magic quality or higher items, as those can be used for the purveyor quests associated with higher quality items. HOWEVER, eventually items do despawn after 10 minutes, so be mindful of how long you have left your loot on the floor.

 === Ascing, and when should you do it? ===
-Sometimes, you may stumble upon an item that is not level 20, but is worth crafting (primary culprits include necklaces from [[Thaumaturge Yala]], [[Cowl of Obscurity]], rings from [[Soul's Moor]] and [[Putrid Shank]]). These can be safely ascended to max level and augmented. However, when considering low level epic/legendary items and target crafting, ascing can be detrimental. This is primarily considered when crafting niche items, such as high attack/spell dodge boots, sprint chance boots, or qq gear. Consider the [[Stat|stats page]] and understand that certain stat types, such as crit chance and multi, only appear on higher level items (starting at lvl 7+), while dodge, sprint, and qq can appear on items of all levels. This means that when crafting for these stats, it is best to use lvl 1-6 items, as these additional stats are essentially blocked out of the stat pool, giving a higher chance for the stats you want.
+Ascending Idol usage has changed in v0.17.0.16.  You are no longer able to ascend an item's level, and you now ascend an item's ''rarity'', up to a maximum of epic rarity.  You can now augment common and magic items (for less cost) and ascend the best augged ones to epic rarity with ascending idols.  This is very useful in saving crafting materials, especially essence used for augmenting trinkets.
