Quick Answer
Act 1 gear is not only corpse loot. The grove, goblin camp, Underdark, Mountain Pass, and key vendors all provide build-defining items. Do not kill vendors before shopping, and do not spend all gold on one character.
Recommended Route
| Stage | What To Do | Watch Out |
|---|---|---|
| Grove phase | Buy consumables, tools, and gap-filling gear | Do not look only at weapon damage |
| Goblin camp | Check vendors and rewards before fighting | Hostility can remove shops |
| Underdark | Add caster, ranged, and utility items | Level first if fights are rough |
| Before Mountain Pass | Sort gear and gold | Check Act 1 side quests |
Key Checks
- After rests or vendor refreshes, check scrolls, potions, and special arrows.
- Give gear to the character who converts it into value.
- Theft affects safety and relations, so prepare an exit.
