I loved D3 on PC/Console, but man.. Diablo 4 on console feels like a mental load 20x bigger than D3. So many variables, so many NPCs to use, so many quests and large maps. Any advice looking back since it looks like you’ve played for a year now?

By the way i don't know if you know, but for everyone landing on this video a small tip. You don't need to reskill the entire tree to swap skills. Just get a skill point and invest it into the new skill you want and then you can sell part of the old skill and put it into the new one over and over until you got your skills you want (might save some money).

A small tip to reduce the traveling back and forth is to put gems you find into socketed items to save inventory space. Then you can just aalvage the item and the gem is released. Or if you decide you want to use the item, removing gems is cheap.

@@markmatthews9102 coincidentally I tested this just last night on PC. When salvaging items with gems I was returned just under half, which tells me there is about a 50% chance of getting the gem back. It's also on a gem to gem, not item to item, basis as I had a two gem wep only return one.

i’m jumping into the game this weekend and have been watching a bunch of videos to get me prepped so I don’t feel completely overwhelmed, and this was the most informative one I’ve found so far. A lot of the other videos are good, but gloss over a lot of the terminology so I still felt lost. I’m a casual gamer and this video was super easy to digest, and really helped break down the more complex elements so now I’m feeling fairly confident about getting a decent start. Cheers!

I especially appreciate the World Tier 1 tip. I initially selected WT2, but you make a great point about TTK vs XP gained. Good looking out 😎👍

Gear that has gems in it could be salvaged and your gems will be returned to your inventory for free. Only reason you want to pay to remove your gem is if you plan on replacing the current gem with an alternative. Otherwise if you are not using that gear anymore and don't need it but want that gem, jus salvage it and reclaim your gem for free.

The most detailed and easy to understand guide that ive watched. Did not even noticed this vid was almost an hour away.

just started playing diablo 4 , never played any other diablo games this has been very helpful thank you

Ebontis, seeing you do any guides for this is great. A nice bonus for us Destiny players that love your D2 guides 😊

Your tip on building the skills is going to save me a lot of time. Thank you. I was not understanding the layout.

Great vid appreciate it as always.. One thing that I might have missed and might be helpful to others who like me did a DOH! moment.. Assign proper weapons to your Basic and Core skill.. I struggled for days just clearing trash mobs until i realize you can switch/assign weapons. ( I.E.) -- ON PC for me its " Y ".. i assigned 'Lunging strike' to my dual wielding weapons and "Hammer ofT Ancients" to my two handed mace and 'Death Blow' to a Sword.. Life become so much easier after that, basic skill hit so much faster generating fury so much quicker..... :)

Thank you E, still trying to puzzle this in. But always nice to get some pointers❤

@ebontis Your Section at 28:05, the one on gems has a major error: you get gems back for *free* when you salvage items so you should shove gems in every available socket while leveling. You're not going to keep them long so there's not much reason to worry about getting the best quality gem first or wasting gems on low level gear.

Already can’t wait for more D4 content from you, E- first timer with Diablo, and this was majorly helpful

I've played all diablo games and still hammering away on my lvl 100 barb and know everything about the game, despite already seeing this I watched it again just because I enjoy the way you explained everything, so even tho I wasn't gaining any further info on a video designed for that reason, I still just enjoyed watching again. You should make some lore videos or anything diablo related and I'd watch it for sure

Good stuff - very well done. Although I've run the cycle of all the Diablo's there were quite a few useful tips for an aged veteran like myself.

very helpful and easy to understand as a noob to these games, tried watching some other videos and just got overwhelmed so thank you!

I never ran out of veiled crystals so I upgraded everything to rank 3 and that's what I recommend. I didn't go past that until end game as the materials needed come from salvaging legendaries. But in end game you get lots from helltide to the point nothing becomes a problem anymore. Only adding sockets was longer to solve.

One of the better beginner's guide videos I have seen. Thanks

Brilliant guide with nothing spoiled!

This game is such a mental load when you start out. Diablo 3 was intuitive & flowed so well. Diablo 4 feels like I’m taking a PHD course with a million connecting variables. Any advice from you veterans? I need like basic yet quick overviews of what’s worth paying attention to and what’s not. As a veteran, what do you wish you played slower to enjoy more? I remember beating Diablo 3 so quickly and was disappointed that I didn’t roam around until 2nd/3rd play through etc.

Thanks for the indepth guide thing..been watching you for awhile since destiny 2

As an experienced Diablo player, i thought i'd choose veteran with my necro playthrough and found it really hard, so i watched your vid and i totally agree with you, choosing the easy mode to finish the campaign 1st makes it quicker and easier and more fun tbh. I was also putting gems in my gear and not levelling it up for the pieces i really liked and it now makes a huge difference to do the exact opposite! Thanks for the tips :3

Regarding loot, selling for gold vs scrapping - breaking down to ingredients for upgrades. I scrap all yellow items that don’t fit my build or look exceptional for another class.

Also CONSOLE PLAYERS HAVE CHAT, YOU SHOULD CHECK IT AND USE IT. Press left or up on the D pad to open your quick menu wheel and open your chat. Need help? Ask chat. Someone else need to quest? Look at chat. I feel like no one knows about the in game chat. You can whisper people, open local chat, or even clan chat

+1 for not going Veteran off the bat. I'm a diablo vet and honestly this game is pretty damn tough at lower levels when you don't have a good set of skills.
