Carino Ranger of Glory Leveling Guide

Welcome to the Carino Ranger of Glory Leveling Guide. Divineshot Carino's Ranger of Glory Trait specializes in enhancing projectile Skills via Special Ammo. Be it Attacks, or Spells if you can shoot the Skill forward, up or in a parabolic arc (IE: projectiles) Carino is a great choice. Reload is a bit clunky at first but effects like Magic Shot streamline it making him much easier to play.

Treasure Troves

Treasure Troves are a way to super-charge your leveling experience. They give vastly more experience than regular zones and yield exclusive Legendary items. You need to complete each of them once for a Talent Point. For an easier leveling experience, you repeat the Treasure Trove until you're 8-10 levels above the zone, then rush through the next few areas. Follow your side quest to find the Treasure Trove locations.

Keep an eye out for the following Legendary items as you clear Treasure Troves.

• New Ear Hills (L7): Look out for Rock Lizard's Skull, it has a large amount of maximum life and generates tenacity blessings. It is a good unique early on to bolster your defenses.
• Nectar Valley (L16): Look out for Desire of Survival as a good defensive option. This trove can also drop Phantasm and is a good offensive option, however, due to Carino's Ammo Consumption mechanic it can result in a clunkier playstyle.
• Dawn Avenue (L27): Look out for Boor's Iron Crown and Wind Chasers. These are both beneficial offensive items, and Wind Chasers provide some movement speed that can be difficult to gain during levelling.
• Sanctuary of Solitude (L35): Look out for legendary items listed previously, such as Boor's Iron Crown.
• Silver Sands' End (L44): Look out for Scarlet Decree if you have a high physical damage weapon or a Plain Echo.
• Hall of Grandiosity (L54): Look out for Feline Gloves. You will want to repeat this zone until around level 65.
• Lonesome, Pentagram Astrolabe and Omniscient Prototype are all incredibly powerful items that can be found during levelling, but they are rare. If you find one of them, be certain to equip them. Omniscient Prototype is available after act 2, and the others can be found in every trove.

Leveling Tips and Tricks

• Your first active skill slot (top left in the Skills menu) is your "Main Skill," this matters because many items and Hero Traits have effects that only apply to the Main Skill.
• If you're ever in doubt of where to go, click the campaign quest on the left of your screen and a golden path shows you the way.
• This guide assumes you get most of your levels through Treasure Troves and rush to the objectives in other zones for maximum efficiency.
• When allocating Pact Points, prioritize Elemental Resistance first, then select Damage nodes until you fill the section. If you have leftover points, put them into Drop nodes as you begin farming the Netherrealm.
• Check your Path of Progression to collect additional skill points and other bonus rewards.
• All skills become available from the Skill Shop at level 55. At this stage cross reference with the embeds to make sure you're set up for the Netherrealm, as you transition your build from Split Shot to Thunderbolt Overload.
• In Chapter 3 gear you find comes with varying amounts of Energy, after changing your gear, be sure to go to the Energy Menu under Skills to reassign missing Energy.

Equipment & Stat Priorities

Core Skill

• Split Shot is a skill that is used with ranged weapons that fires multiple projectiles in an arc in front of you. This is the skill you start with and will carry you to the end of your campaign progression.
• Thunderbolt Overload is the skill that you transition into after the campaign. It fires a projectile in a parabolic arc which explodes and deals damage upon landing. It is combined with Projectile Split and Jump from the marksman tree to split into multiple projectiles and hit multiple times respectively.
• Centralized Loading is your standard mobility skill. It also grants you additional damage and +2 projectiles for the next 3 skills used. This is replaced later by Blink as it provides a larger amount of mobility.
  • An alternative if you are using a Bow while levelling is Blink Bow, which despite it's difficult play style speeds you through zones much faster.
• Aim is the epitome of stand and deliver, granting a massive amount of Projectile Damage. Be careful though, it significantly reduces your movement speed and expires once you use a Mobility Skill.
• After switching to Thunderbolt Overload, Aim is replaced by Mana Boil, which gives you additional spell damage in exchange for draining your mana.
• Use Compound Source to quickly regenerate Life and Mana whenever needed.
• Biting Cold and Electrocute are curses that grant enemies a large amount of increased cold and lightning damage taken respectively, providing a large damage boost. Biting Cold replaces Electrocute when you switch to Thunderbolt Overload.

Leveling Progression

WARNING: The following levels are a guideline, you might complete the quest/unlock the Skill a few levels early, or a few levels later!

Talents

Traits and Memories

Hero Traits

Hero Memories

Hero Memories are required to activate your Hero Traits. Look for the following modifiers on your Hero Memories:

Divinity Slates

After defeating the Steel Forge Timemark 3 Watcher and completing the Netherrealm quest you unlock the Divinity Slate Talents. These can be farmed from different forms of content, but primarily drop from the Cube of Rapacity. Look to brand Divinity Slates with the following nodes;

Pacts

The Netherrealm

Racing through your Netherrealm quests as quickly as possible results in you becoming under leveled for the required zones to progress further, stay within 3 levels of the zones you're completing to avoid a harsh experience penalty. Check out our How to Progress the Netherrealm if you're unsure of anything.

Here's a list of things to do while progressing the early stages of the Netherrealm;

• Level 60: the Trade House is unlocked. Be sure to read and understand our Trade House for Beginners Guide before making any big purchases.
• Higher item levels of gear come with higher quantities of Energy. Look to improve your current gear with items that have increased Energy so that you can use more Support Skills.
• Utilize Crafting to greatly increase the power of gear you come across. It costs very low amounts of Flame Sand and Fine Embers to craft basic gear.
