The Amazon Leveling Guide provides you with all the necessary information to get your favorite Character started!
Not every Skill is suitable to be used during early leveling for three reasons:
- Only a number of Skills work well without any previously farmed gear.
- A lot of builds lack damage during the leveling phase. It can become a big struggle or even straight up impossible to progress starting with an end game build.
- Some builds have a hard time transitioning into hell due to Immunities.
We provide you with step by step Skill trees and easily accessible items that help you in your play through. Additionally, you get tips and insights on how to deal with Immunities and the more difficult fights.
At the end of this guide you'll have a Level 75 Amazon that used 1 out of the 3 respecs the game provides. You can use these to transition into your build of choice. If you like the final Skill build, check out the Lightning Fury Amazon Guide, which seamlessly transitions from this guide.
Progression
The Amazon Leveling Guide utilizes Poison Javelin and Exploding Arrow from Normal to Nightmare Act 3 and transitions into Lightning Fury and Charged Strike for the remainder of the leveling process.

Playstyle & Progression
- Start the Nightmare difficulty by shopping for Heavy Gloves of Readiness, a Coral Belt of the Mammoth and Russet Heavy Boots of Haste (or similar).
- Complete Quest 1 for the Skill Point and continue to the Black Marsh Waypoint.
- Start farming The Countess for the Runes mentioned from the checklist below. Create the Lore Cap as soon as you find the Runes.
- Interrupt your Rune farming at Level 29! Go back to Act 5 in Normal and Shop for 2-3 stacks of Javelin of Swiftness. You want to have 50% Increased Attack Speed from your Gloves and Weapons. This is the highest Breakpoint for Charged Strike you can reach.
- Continue farming The Countess until you acquired the Runes mentioned from the checklist below. Create the remaining Runewords as you find them and put them into your Stash.
- Shop a Wand of Lower Resistance from Akara or Drognan between Level 30 and 35. You only need to check Wands with a red background again. Keep it in your inventory and use Lower Resist against all Act bosses starting at Level 36.
- Continue through the story until you enter Act 4 Nightmare. Exploding Arrow hits a brick wall here because of Immune to Fire monsters. It is time to respec.
