Notes

Lightning Arrow Leveling Guide (Acts 1 -10)

Tip: Only purchase gems specifically listed below  all others are obtained as quest rewards.
Make sure your Accuracy Rating is higher than your Life, or you???ll lose up to 40% damage due to the ???? Precise Technique Keystone.

Gear Guidelines

Bow: Prioritize high DPS and attack speed bows.
Use Essences of Anger, Wrath, or Hatred on strong bases ??? the Royal Bow is the best base during the campaign.

Quiver:
Apply Essence of Woe to roll increased bow damage.
Look for flat elemental damage and attack speed as secondary stats.

Armor & Accessories:
Focus on Life and Resistances on all slots.

Always get movement speed on boots.

After Act 5, craft resistances on all gear (use Transmutes, not Alchemy Orbs).

Optionally, use a chest piece without Life to benefit from the +15% Maximum Life Mastery, though it???s not mandatory.

Vendor Regex Filter:
Paste this in any vendor search bar to find useful leveling items:

-\w-.-|(-\w){4}|g-g-|-g-g|g-.-g|nne|rint|quiver

This highlights 3-link gear, movement speed boots, and quivers.
