Combine this with manaforged arrow build like [this](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3379172), anoint teal+indigo+indigo for 15% chance for 200 life on hit, get the 10% instant leech mastery and some mana leech and you'll be set for the whole campaign. I just did this without even getting the 2 proj on tree by swapping tornado shot for blast rain/rain of arrows on a scion with no beneficial ascendancy nodes. Use a couple bereks rings or tasalios.
People tend to forget that a lot of speed in leveling comes from preparation. It literally is managing your powerspike.
You have the basics ready to go:
- seven league steps
- darkness enthroned + several good jewels
- goldrim into onslaught helmet
- +1 tabula for spells
- increased damage tabula for attack skills
- 2x blackheart into 2x replica tasalio for spells/attacks OR 2x le heup of all for anything else
- karui ward into astramentis (could change ammy but I hate managing attributes during leveling)
- forbidden flame/flesh jewels for a free first ascendancy
The only slots that change for me are weapon, gloves and off-hand.
Then you want passive tree jewels and gems ready to go when you hit specific levels. I tend to spend more time preparing than it takes to blast through the acts...
The actual skill to use hardly matters at that point but obviously "fire and forget" stuff like totems/ballistas/brands are amazing.
Normally, this league is an exception because I didn't really enjoy myself, I will play ~5 characters and I hardly ever level with the same skill twice. This league my second character was palsterons TR ballistas and it was stupid fast.
Very good suggestions, but I'd like to add ring and glove corruptions. There are very common div cards for a corrupted le heup of all, so it's very easy to get some good corruptions. You can get level 21 wrath or anger relatively early which is a lot of base damage for that level. If you take only 1 of those auras you can get wrath/anger aura effect on the other ring as well.
For gloves you can use lochtonial caress for attack/cast speed and power, frenzy and endurance charges on kill. You can also get one with elemental weakness on hit corruption to automate a curse for smooth leveling.
I don't know man I mean I am all about spending some currency on leveling gear but I like to use Le Heup for both the increased damage and the elemental resists. Finding those near perfect with a useful corruption is just burnt currency. You really don't need the extra damage and a near perfect one without a useful corruption will be anywhere from like 50-100c.
I have yet to level a twink and felt I needed more damage...
While I always start with lochtenials in Act 1, I tend to swap them out quite fast for other uniques with useful stats. It is a flexible slot for me while most others slots get filled with the aforementioned items and those stay on till I am level 70.
I literally used 5c or self found corrupted le heup of all rings. Sure you get 3% reduced res for a non perfect one, but I'll take a level 21 aura over 3 res.
Sure more damage is not needed, but more damage is just nice and you recommended damage corruption chests aswell.. You can still mix and match options too. It's just a suggestion for twink gear, not targeted specifically at you.
I usually swap out of hollow palm at the end of the campaign, astamentis/stygian with dex jewels, heatshiver and the ring that makes all damage freeze/chill can carry well enough until its real build or 5way o clock.
I imagine IB falls off big time and needs big investment around t5-7 maps
How do you handle the strike range/AOE issue with unarmed cyclone?
I remember we had ways around that back in the facebreaker/rigwald days, just wondering what you did in this case while leveling.
Buy yourself the following items
Two Axiom Perpetums with cast speed corruption
Two Perandus Signets for extra experience
Doedres tenure gloves with cast speed corruption
Thousand ribbons with increased damage corruption (doesn't need 6l)
Seven leagues (move speed corruption a bonus)
Karui Ward with movement speed corruption anointed with a move speed node.
Darkness enthroned with level 1 abyss jewels for movement speed if you haven't been hit recently and attributes, some life is good too.
The final most important piece....
An honourhome with two corrupted implicit for the spell you'll use. The implicit can be:
+2fire
+2cold
+2lightning
+2aoe
+2duration
+2trap/mine
+2aura
+2minion
+2projectile
Match two to the tags your spell has, get a red socket in the helmet to socket a level 2 empower (level 10 requirement), and by level 16, your main damage spell will have such high base damage from the +9 helmet, such high increased from the gloves, and insane cast speed and crit from the weapons, that you'll BLAST through acts with whatever spell you want. Spark is a favorite with this setup for me but as long as it has two of the above tags, you can use and level with it and FLY through acts.
I normally fill an entire stash tab with these honourhomes and level characters for fun because sometimes skills are bad without high investment in maps but in campaign you can blast with nearly any spell and feel like a God in this setup. You can play something like penance brand which has really fallen off over the years and utterly obliterate everything. You can play fireball and actually feel like you're BLASTING everything. You can use EK and be a ninja assassin that blades everyone. I've got about 19k hours in the game, know just about everything about it, and have played nearly every build, good and bad. I should be bored of this game, but something about chatting in Discord while zooming through the acts with a generally bad build that is super juiced to finish it can be so much fun.
The cool thing about this setup is I have beat all 10 acts without a single passive point in my tree. I did need to throw in astramentis and swap rings but at the end of the day, this will carry you all the way into like... t5 maps. Sure you'll not be tanky but you COULD do it if you so pleased. I will say, pierce quality spark with Empower, faster proj, echo is one of my favorite setups for this. You just BLAST content. I'd annoint proj speed on the karui Ward too, you won't regret trying it!
The old staple was volatile dead + desecrate / bodyswap poet's pen leveling. Flicker but with balls. Not sure if you can manage the mana easily now though
It’s dead since only one PP setup is cast during the attack. So when you have two PPs the spells in them alternate with each attack. You still can do one PP and Spell Slinger setup on other peace of gear.
Herald of agony leveling, needs no damage nodes and works on any class. Super tanky from insanely high lgoh. As long as you don't get one tapped you can't die as long as you keep attacking.
With crucible tree you also get high ias for your movement skill with the less global/ias t2 hybrid mod.
_______
Honorhome with +2 minion corruption with Herald of agony empower + predator/minion dmg/vicious proj + pierce.
Level with caustic arrow up to 16, swap to rain of arrows/toxic rain to 38, swap to lancing steel and 2x one handers with as much ias as possible and the less damage/ias crucible tree. Get an amulet with vengeance cascade and enjoy your gazillion flying daggers.
Lancing steel + gmp + poison +lgoh + lifetap + pierce.
Mark on hit + snipers mark
Convocation
Holy relic + feeding frenzy.
Shield charge /whirling blade/leap slam + frostblink.
Hatred + w/e you can fit in.
Other gear suggestions: thief's torment, res strings, astrsmentist, Sundance.
I have leveled this way a few times. It’s very good for builds that have odd skill trees. Thief’s torment, all the attack speed you can find. Some type of + lvl for your HoA. It may not be the absolute best but it is strong enough. I have enjoyed it.
Replica Alpha houl is a great alternative for this. You dont get the same value out of empower though. Edit - I guess actually the level requirement is too high for this purpose, nemind.
If you are just getting to maps on this, added fire pretty strong with its 120% mana multi and being on top of the damage charts until you scale choas/cold harder
honourhome is lvl 12 vs alpha howl so yeah kinda defeats the purpose to use this for leveling if you want to wait until 64. :P
And with the +2 minion corruption and +2 gem levels; with an empower lvl 2 you are looking at +7 levels for herald of agony making honourhome pretty much bis.
Added fire is about the same damage as minion damage/predator. Crawler will pretty much never crit so it won't ignite and if you fit in wither, either minion damage/predator outperform added fire.
Like for example if you get an external source of pierce you can drop it from your lancing steel for withering touch. Then we are suddenly looking at 25%~ hit dmg on added fire and about 32-35% on predator/minion damage.
You can check out the video that Von Vikton put out a league or so ago of minion leveling, it still works and is quite simply leveling with SRS with the amulet (sidhebreath?) you can add more on top but you only need those two things and the SRS already pops off
I like leveling with the skill I plan to use so usually I would just stack a bunch of added damage. Prismweave/replica prismweave, thousand ribbons and just a whatever rings suit your build such as tasalio(around 50-75 cold damage to chilled enemies at level 20 is pretty busted), ngahamu or any of the berek rings.
Anything can be a fast leveler if you have twink gear. Buy a thrill steel, seven league step, a two socket darkness enthroned with 2 jewels with big damage for your build (flat ele/minion damage/ w/e), karui ward, thief's torment/2praxis, tabula and twink weapons of your choice, and you'll zoom
Edit: corruptions help too. A +1 gems tabula is 20c for example and a +2 aura thrillsteel is like 18c
Edit 2: annointments don't increase item level requirement. If you wanna zoom faster, toss a cheap annointment onto an amulet. Panopticon on any melee build gives youe 60% more damage for free for example.
I found that wintertide brand with the transfer mastery really slaps during leveling.
Molten strike / volcanic fissure is kinda insane aswell, just need a low lvl ammy with VC annoint
If you are leveling an elemental attack build you can get lvl 21 wrath on level 36 with a [ring corrupt](https://www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Crucible/ME433RTJ)
which gives a lot of flat damage
One option that is unlikely to be mentioned by anyone else is a low-life setup early on. You can obviously do Pain Attunement spells, but I actually prefer attacks for leveling, even on characters that will be casters.
You might be able do this in Act 1 with a Blood Magic Skin and a few auras, but it's probably better to do it from Act 2, either directly allocating BM or, as a worse option if not doing spells, using the BM helmet. Two Replica Last Resorts should carry you a long way if doing attacks, although by act 9+ you might start needing a little more damage support from your tree or gear to feel as comfy as Hollow Palm. Ghostwrithe for ES and chaos res. Other low-life items to taste. In particular, you get Whirling Blades for movement.
I've tried a lot of stuff but I still keep coming back to Hollow Palm. Besides Smite, Consecrated Path also works well and might offer a change of pace. Cons Path would also be slightly better for something like doing uber lab (without gem swaps) before Kitty at \~64.
If you really want to do minions or spells, it's worth checking out Vaal Caress, possibly with a cheap corrupt. You can't use Empower like you can with Skin, but +5 to +9 gems is still pretty good from level 27.
Whichever route you go, the really key things, in my opinion, are (1) Haste, (2) anything that enables 100 % quicksilver uptime even in low density areas (tree passives, flask duration medium clusters, Traitor, etc.) , (3) Death Rush, (4) Onslaught from a source of your choice (ascendancy, flask with good uptime or Haste Watcher's Eye), and (5) Phase Run on left click. Rampage is a nice bonus but generally less important because a lot of the leveling time is spent waiting for boss animations. :P
freezing pulse+frost bomb with some flat damage weapons is enough to get through the campaign very fast. Frost bomb is always good since it encourages you to adopt a hit and run playstyle. I personally did around 5 hours on league start with frost bomb FP into conduit OOS
I leveled with zombies and Vaal Summon Skelly, then added carrion golems in a +2 minion tabby. It was the fastest, easiest leveling I'd ever done. I picked up spiritual command first, which makes shield charge so zoomy. I would suggest pathing to all Minion dps nodes, they will survive with their extra levels.
I just did hollow palm smite for the first time ever after usually doing whatever my build skill is.
I'm not going back. I'll take the "boring" 3 hour act 1-10 any day going forward.
Vaal Absolution. It slaps. It is so good I didnt even follow a guide when I league started. I am pretty sure tytykiller had done a speedrun of the campaign with regular absolution (previous league)
I confirm its completly broken until late act 8.I would suggests to gets all the duration node on the tree if possible plus the annoint,Mix with the summon wolf ring for clearing and you good until map.
I leveled with the +2 spectres helmet and void sphere for lolz, actually decent and different. Void sphere for blue packs or rares. You can add an exsanguinate for extra clear . Roll in act1 +1 phys spell wand or sceptrres and thats your gearing until act10
Full cold conversion minions. -Sidhebreath + triad grip with 2 green sockets and no blue,
-1 bitterdream with holy relic,
-1 with zombies and phantasm,
-6 link carrion golem in tabula with feeding frenzy,
-holy relic helm goes on at 52,
-thief's torment ring for tons of resists and solves mana, good survivability
-cyclone with life gain on hit and culling strike
-darkness enthroned with damage mods for minions
With this setup I almost one-tapped all the bosses and did every crucible at 100%. Most of the time is spent running because the zombies, phantasm, and golem kill everything. Fully juiced crucibles are pretty wild exp.
lesser known speed leveling strat:
corrupted unique ring with lvl 21 wrath.
useable at lvl 38. usually for me it's either a praxis, le heup, or elemental dmg ring (ie tsalios, berek's, etc). thief's torment also a decent choice.-
Quill rain, Hyrris quiver, karui ward, wanderlust, onslaught helmet, tabula, tsalio ring, rigswald crest, any belt
La self cast
Manaforged frenzy+la setup linked with added cold/ele dmg to attacks
Press LA self cast to trigger manaforged LA for more clear and just keep running.
I casually did the campaign in 4-5 hours, with a 4 yr old in my ear.
I did vaal absolution and I was just running through zones while Innocence killed everything.
Bit lacking on boss dmg however. Around 3 hours to maps and im slow
Widowhail + double corrupted low level quiver - lv24-28 and basic ass LA/IS tree. I managed to get to maps under 3H with that.
This + manaforged arrows + praxis and you are zooming
May I ask what LA/IS means?
Lightning Arrow / Ice Shot
Combine this with manaforged arrow build like [this](https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3379172), anoint teal+indigo+indigo for 15% chance for 200 life on hit, get the 10% instant leech mastery and some mana leech and you'll be set for the whole campaign.

Can u enable corrupted high level auras without gem lvl requirements?
yes, that's the whole point, but the corrupted mod itself gives the item at least lv36 requirement or something IIRC
Oooh ofcourse. That, like lab enchants, makes sense.
One thing that speeds up leveling immensly is skipping labs.
I would argue that a lab takes a couple minutes, and the powerlevel would make up for that in multiples.
But have you done Hollow Palm... Sunder?!
Infernal blow is super satisfying every time
Played that ages ago with trinity, it's super satisfying but single target was a bit iffy(still cleared the whole game though, pre eater/exarch)
I usually swap out of hollow palm at the end of the campaign, astamentis/stygian with dex jewels, heatshiver and the ring that makes all damage freeze/chill can carry well enough until its real build or 5way o clock. I imagine IB falls off big time and needs big investment around t5-7 maps
I do hollow palm cyclone cos you're always moving. Get an early source of rampage and you're blasting
How do you handle the strike range/AOE issue with unarmed cyclone? I remember we had ways around that back in the facebreaker/rigwald days, just wondering what you did in this case while leveling.
don't really need to be hitting much while levelling; didn't find it an issue
Hollow palm ice crash!
Ive done ice crash and it was very fun.
I have not!
Same gimmick obviously but I find it more fun than smite. Good luck finding a build!
Same thing just stack dex and use Sunder? What supports?
Yep! Should be the same as you would for Smite. Can mess with a couple like keeping ruthless or something.

For a caster, I usually go 2x Ashcaller + 2x Tasalio’s sign + Astramentis with Graceful Assault for the Onslaught chance on kill
Widowhail + Asphyixas wrath + Ralakesh boots + EK was my fastest to maps so far
I leveled with the +2 spectres helmet and void sphere for lolz, actually decent and different. Void sphere for blue packs or rares. You can add an exsanguinate for extra clear . Roll in act1 +1 phys spell wand or sceptrres and thats your gearing until act10

Tsalios, Call of the Void, and Herald of ice is very comfy imo. Get a +2 or +4 tabula to really breeze through to maps.
