Notes

=== NOTES ===

1. Some quests/rewards are not mentioned. Either there is only one reward, or the choice depends on your gear.
2. All gem groups and links are listed in order of priority, from highest to lowest (from top to bottom for gem groups and from left to right for gem links).

=== GEAR PROGRESSION ===

TIP: Use the bench craft "Used when Charges reach full" on all of the utility flasks as you get the required currency.
TIP: You should already have freeze immunity on a utility flask by the end of the campaign. Additionally, roll increased armor, increased movement speed, and increased cast speed on the remaining utility flasks in no specific order.
TIP: Unfortunately, there is no reliable way to obtain The Covenant, it's a random world drop.

1. Buy 2 x Summon Raging Spirit (Act 1), Animate Guardian (Act 3), Multistrike (Act 4), and Chance to Poison (Lily Roth). Level them in the weapon swap together with Minion Damage leftover from the campaign.
    Once Animate Guardian reaches level 20 and you have some gear for him (see the options below), use Gemcutter's Prisms to make the gem 20/20 and replace Raise Zombie with Animate Guardian.
    When the spare Summon Raging Spirit reach level 20, use Gemcutter's Prisms to make them 20/20 and then use the Lapidary Lens in the T3 incursion room Doryani's Institute in The Temple of Atzoatl for a chance to get a 21/20 gem.
    If you succeed, you can repeat this process for Animate Guardian and other gems.
2. Farm 7 cards Emperor of Purity and exchange them for a 6L Holy Chainmail. You can use any useful essence on it. The cards drop in Overgrown Ruin and Overgrown Shrine.
3. Prioritize Abyss and Harvest on the Atlas tree.
    Get 2 Ghastly Eye Jewels from Abyssal Troves (they sometimes spawn after completing an abyss). 
    Get Darkness Enthroned from bosses in Abyssal Depths (the entrance sometimes spawns after completing an abyss). 
    Get Vivid Crystallized Lifeforce from monsters in The Sacred Grove (the entrance sometimes spawns in maps). 
    Make sure the jewels are rare and use the chaos reforge from the Harvest bench on them to get the chance to poison on hit for minions (~ 23% chance to get it).
    Socket the jewels into the belt or, if you don't have one yet, into the tree. Once you have the belt, you can use the tree sockets for more Ghastly Eye Jewels or Cobalt Jewels with any useful minion damage affixes. 
4. Cap your chaos resistance for the next step.
5. Prioritize Breach on the Atlas tree, focusing on Chayula's breaches.
    Get a Blessing of Chayula from the boss in Chayula's Domain (use a Chayula's Breachstone in the map device to get there). 
    Get Severed in Sleep from monsters in Chayula's breaches or the boss in Chayula's Domain.
    Use the blessing to upgrade the sword into United in Dream. Once you have the sword, use Envy provided by the sword instead of Anger and replace Chance to Poison with Unbound Ailments (you will have to recolor your body armor).
6. There are several things you can do next:
	- You can prioritize Breach on the Atlas tree, focusing on Chayula's and Uul-Netol's breaches. 
      Get a Blessing of Chayula from the boss in Chayula's Domain (use a Chayula's Breachstone in the map device to get there). 
      Get The Green Dream from monsters in Chayula's breaches or the boss in Chayula's Domain. 
      Get a Blessing of Uul-Netol from the boss in Uul-Netol's Domain (use an Uul-Netol's Breachstone in the map device to get there). 
	  Get The Anticipation from monsters in Uul-Netol's breaches or the boss in Uul-Netol's Domain. 
      Use the blessings to upgrade the uniques into The Green Nightmare and The Surrender respectively. Once you have the jewel, socket it into the tree socket near Eternal Youth and get all passives on the Sanctuary wheel to get the most out of it.
	- You can prioritize Abyss and Harvest on the Atlas tree.
      Get more Ghastly Eye Jewels from Abyssal Troves (they sometimes spawn after completing an abyss).
      Get Vivid Crystallized Lifeforce from monsters in The Sacred Grove (the entrance sometimes spawns in maps). 
      Make sure the jewels are rare and use the chaos reforge from the Harvest bench on them to get any useful minion damage affixes.
    - You can prioritize Delirium and Harvest on the Atlas tree.
      Get an ilvl 84+ Large Cluster Jewel (with minion damage and ideally 12 passives or as many as possible) and a Medium Cluster Jewel (with minion life and 4-5 passives) from Delirium encounters (A Mirror of Delirium sometimes spawns in maps). 
      Get Vivid Crystallized Lifeforce from monsters in The Sacred Grove (the entrance sometimes spawns in maps). 
      Make sure the jewels are rare.
      Use the chaos reforge from the Harvest bench on the Large Cluster Jewel to get chaos resistance and increased effect of passives with no notables (~ 1 in 11 chances to get it, simulated from 1000 tries). 
	  Use the life reforge from the Harvest bench on the Medium Cluster Jewel to get the Blessed Rebirth notable (~ 1 in 19 chances to get it, simulated from 1000 tries).
	- You can prioritize Abyss on the Atlas tree.
      Get Amanamu's Gaze from Stygian Spires (they sometimes spawn after completing an abyss) or bosses in Abyssal Depths (the entrance sometimes spawns after completing an abyss). 
    - You can prioritize Delve on the Atlas tree. 
      Get a variation of Aul's Uprising with Envy from the boss in The Crystal King's Throne (sometimes spawns in the Primeval Ruins biome in Azurite Mine at 130+ depth). 
      Once you have the amulet, use Malevolence in the sword (make sure it's linked to Generosity).
    - You can prioritize Blight on the Atlas tree.
      Get 2 Black Oils and a Golden Oil from Blight encounters (A Fungal Growth sometimes spawns in maps). Use them to annoint the amulet with Inveterate. Don't bother with this step until you get Aul's Uprising.
    - You can farm awakened gems either by completing Maven's Invitations or by killing the boss in Absence of Mercy and Empathy (use The Maven's Writ in the map device to get there). Some gems cannot be obtained from Maven's Invitations.
