Important Note: This guide is tailored for players who are leveling a second or subsequent character. If this is your first character and you’re interested in leveling a Deadeye, consider checking out our beginner’s leveling guide instead.

To get started on your twink leveling journey, keep in mind the following key steps:

• Acquire and prepare your items
• Set up your items and skill gems
• Have a structured plan and execute it!

This guide provides everything you need for an efficient leveling experience, including:

• Trade links for easy item acquisition
• A detailed progression guide for skill gems
• A well-structured passive tree routing
• A tested leveling plan for optimal speed
• A comprehensive video demonstration of the run

The initial action is to gather and prepare your items, categorized as follows:

• Equipped items
• Inventory items
• Stash items

For unique items, you will need to purchase them, while rare items can either be crafted during the run or prepped on your main character ahead of time. No costly unique items are necessary, and we avoid selecting complicated rare items. Optional items will be clearly marked. If you’ve been active in mapping, you might already possess some rare items or consumables mentioned here.

Equipped items should be ready to go from the start of your run. Make sure any items you buy or craft have a level requirement of 2 or lower.

Here are some recommended items to consider:

• Widowhail (200%+) = 1ex
• Sockets: 2+ Storm Runes
• Optional: Widowhail (230%+) = 1ex+
• Optional: Widowhail (230%+ with a corrupted implicit) = 3ex+
• Optional: Widowhail (230%+ with an extra socket) = 3ex+
• Asphyxia's Wrath = 1ex
• Optional: Purchase with 9%+ IAS & 9%+ Gain Damage as Extra Cold Damage = 2ex+

• Ruby Charm

• Topaz Charm

  
  

• Uncut Support Gems x20 = 1ex x20

• Lesser Jeweller's Orb x6

  
  

• Note: Best to purchase Lesser Jeweller's Orbs in bulk via in-game currency exchange.

  
  

• Gemcutter's Prism x4 to 12 (optional)

  
  
• Note: Also best acquired in bulk through the in-game currency exchange.

For stash items, these will be equipped in later acts, ensuring they have a level requirement of 16 or higher. All rare items can utilize the same crafting methods mentioned above.

• Thrillsteel = 8ex+ * For the entire leveling process, consider equipping the Crown of the Victor.

The next step involves organizing all the items you’ve gathered and setting up your skill gems. Refer to the provided image to arrange your equipped items, inventory, and stash effectively. Follow the skill progression guide on the right for a detailed skill gem setup.

Level 2 Setup:

• The Lightning Rod is formed using the first uncut skill gem from Renly.
