In Mistfall Hunter progression may appear very complicated since there are many systems that become available during your first hours of playtime. Prioritizing the right activities is important for a successful setup, which is exactly what this guide aims for. You will get acquainted with the most crucial points of progression, upgrades available for camps, and item upgrades.
Prioritize Permanent Progression
In the first hours of your Mistfall Hunter experience, you will be introduced to numerous elements and levels of your character, objectives for the journey, enhancements for your camp, crafting, trading, currencies, and even the PvPvE system. Instead of concentrating your time and resources on upgrading your character’s items temporarily, focus on progressing your account permanently. Each expedition must be one step closer towards new systems, camps, and economies.
Reach Key Character Levels
Character level unlocks nearly every important progression feature in the game.
- Level 2: Unlocks secondary character progression using Gold and Gilded Blood.
- Level 3: Unlocks another active ability slot.
- Level 5: Unlocks the Auction House, Forge, Workshop, Scavenger Squad, and Wine Shop, giving access to trading, crafting, passive progression, and consumables.
- Level 6: Unlocks camp upgrades, which become your main source of permanent progression.
- Levels 7 and 10: Each unlocks another active ability slot, completing most of your early combat toolkit.
By Level 10, you’ll have access to nearly every core progression system.
Upgrade Your Camp First
Camp improvements are permanent enhancements that should take precedence over gear improvements.
To start off, upgrading the Warehouse to gain more storage space is the first thing you should do, followed by upgrading the Goddess Statue for more efficient healing. Finally, you should upgrade the Golden Blood Pool capacity so that more Golden Blood can be gathered for future upgrades.
Once these essential upgrades have been completed, work on improving the Shop, Forge, and Workshop for better crafting options. The Tavern and Auction House can then become effective and useful once your economy is stable.
Build Around Affixes
The first objective of gear upgrade relates to obtaining the Rare (Blue) gear which comes with Affixes that contribute to defining your character by providing you with specific bonuses and attributes.
Instead of striving to get items of the highest rarity, players should prioritize matching Affixes. Achieving a combination of a number of items with the same Affixes leads to getting extra bonuses from them, so a well-synergized Blue gear will perform better than the items of higher rarity with the poor Affix combinations.
As you pass through both Excellent, Epic, and Legendary gear, the number of Affix slots will increase enabling greater specialization. Holy weapons should be considered a long-term goal obtained from some of the game’s toughest content.
Upgrade Skills and Talents
Having extra slots for use of active abilities makes it possible to create more powerful rotations, while Talents will give passive bonuses to suit your built strategy.
Instead of instantly putting on all the best items, use practice to your advantage when it comes to gear, Affixes, Skills, and Talents.
Follow the Progression Loop
Repeating the same cycle is necessary to achieve advancement:
Finish all Journey Objectives, achieve the new character milestone, unlock newer systems, collect resources, improve the camp facilities, enhance crafting, make better equipment, and repeat.
Each cycle makes your gaming experience more effective and eases forthcoming expeditions.
Spend Resources Carefully
Although equipment, itself, is subject to change, there is always growth to be achieved. It is imperative to be prudent with limited resources and use them for camp improvements and for progressing in the game, rather than for upgrading equipment. Equipment should be crafted only when it can aid in overcoming immediate challenges, while a good stock of gold, crafting materials, and upgrades should be preserved for future unlocks.
Focus on One Class
Even though Mistfall Hunter provides numerous options for classes and builds, concentrating on a single primary class speeds up the advancement of your camp economy and crafting systems. After you set up your steady progress, advancing into other classes is much simpler.
Final Thoughts
Mistfall Hunter values long-lasting progression instead of short-term progress. Each character level opens up fresh systems, each refurbishment of the camp adds to the expedition’s abilities, and every successful extraction serves as a guarantee that the account will reach its permanent milestone.
