Devotion Basics and Refunding

Restore Shrines for devotion points (max 55). Points generate affinity that unlocks bigger constellations. Refund one point at a time at the Spirit Guide.

Respec: Skills, Devotions, Attributes

All respecs happen at the Spirit Guide. Skill refunds cost iron (scaling), devotions refund per point. You cannot reduce mastery bar points.

Attribute Points: Physique / Cunning / Spirit

When in doubt: all Physique. Put the minimum into Cunning/Spirit only to meet gear requirements.

Difficulties and Merits (Difficulty Skip)

Normal(Veteran) → Elite → Ultimate. With FG, buy a Merit token to unlock higher difficulties instantly on new characters.

OA and DA Explained

OA = your crit chance, DA = enemies' crit chance against you. Endgame ballpark: 2600-3000 each.

Monster Infrequents (MIs)

Green items dropped only by specific enemies, often with unique skill modifiers. For many builds they beat legendaries. Target-farming them is a core endgame loop.

Endgame at a Glance: SR / Crucible / Nemesis

SR = layered dungeon farming (main gear source). Crucible = wave arena (separate DLC). Nemesis = elite spawns from hated factions.
