Thank you the guide!
I was using a Monk and had a stockpile of crafting materials.
Within 2 hours I had a level 70 WD with all of the required gear.
It cost me a total of 2500 Death's Breath, 5000 Veiled Crystals, 5000 Arcane Dust, 5000 Reusable Parts, 200 Forgotten Souls.
Getting to level 70:
- Create a new Seasonal WD (Make sure it's seasonal!)
- Use Gem of Ease on a well rolled, socketed weapon (I used an Ancient Maximus with Dexterity leftover form my Monk)
- Set Adventurer to Nephalem Rifts (Torment level is your choice, it doesn't matter much until you get around level 50-60. This is for two reasons.
- In lower levels everything instant dies anyways, and
- most experience comes from the gem, not enemies)
- Setup Armory to swap your gear.
- Set Trinity to pickup all yellow gear.
- Hit start and walk away from awhile.
- After the first rift, you will be in the high-40s to low-50s.
- When I got over 60, I dropped the difficulty under Torment.
- After 4 rifts, I was nearly to level 70.
Note: 60 to 70 takes about 5 times as long as 1 to 60.
**If you want to use the Seasonal Powerleveling Community, setup the bot and get it going. Immediately start requesting a game for leveling. It will take awhile to get into one and you might already be near 70 by the time you get an invite!
After hitting 70,
Time to get geared!
You need to start using the blacksmith to craft level 70 rare items that match the item slot of the required gear. Cube the yellow items into legendaries.
Remember that not all gear slots match the name you might think.
- To cube a Helltooth Mask, you need to craft level 70 rare "Voodoo Mask" at the blacksmith. They're called the Sovereign Ascended MASK.
- If you craft "Helms" (Sovereign Ascended Crown) and cube them, you won't be able to get a Helltooth Mask.
The costs at the right relate to the number of crafting materials to both
Craft at the Artisan and also to
Cube the item into a legendary.
EXAMPLE to get a legendary Voodoo Mask:
- Sovereign Ascended Mask costs 0 Death's Breath, 15 each of Veiled Crystal, Arcane Dust, Reusable Parts to craft 1.
- To Cube it to a Legendary costs 25 Death's Breath, 50 each of Veiled Crystal, Arcane Dust, Reusable Parts
- Total cost: 25 Death's Breath, 65 Veiled Crystal, 65 Arcane Dust, 65 Reusable Parts per legendary.

The general idea is to get each slot filled with the required item FIRST.
Once you fill the slots, then go back and review what you have, and cube more rares on slots that you got sub-par items.
Remember: You will need to save some crafting materials to re-roll stats at the mystic! Also, you need Death Breath's for top tier gems!
Tips:
- Do not blow your whole load on one item. Craft 5 items at the Blacksmith, convert to Legendary. Rinse Repeat.
- Once you get the legendary you want, stop on that slot until you get all other slots filled.
- Drop any spare rares on the ground for later use if you have crafting mats leftover
- Blacksmith crafting is cheap, forging a legendary is expensive. Don't forge more just because you have the yellows.
- If you do get multiple Set Items, DO NOT SALVAGE. You can convert them to another set item.
- In the occurrence of a duplicate set items, convert it to another set item before continuing your crafting/reforging.
Also:
- Craft items in a logical order (Some slots have a lot less legendaries, thus increasing your chances of getting what you need).
- Always get your set items first!
- You can play with just the set to start if you must)
- If you get multiples, you can convert the extras into other Set Items.
- Get your Bracers second (They allow you to spam Wall of Death)
- Weapon is next as it doubles your Acid Cloud damage.
- Belt
- Rings: If you have Focus and Restraint on another character, use it here to start with. All you're losing is a primary stat roll.
- Amulet: Same as rings, use a GG socketed one from another character to start out with.
Voodoo Masks should be where you start: You need both a Helltooth Mask,
and The Grin Reaper for your cube. Helltooth masks are much more limited in legendaries than some other slots.
Once you get all of your base items, determine how many materials that you have left.
- Make sure you have cubed any legendary powers you will need.
- Any Items you KNOW you are keeping, I would re-roll them as best as you can at the Mystic.
- After doing this, I would look at cubing more rares to get better items for your worst rolled pieces.
- Once you get there, I would hit the Mystic again to re-roll your new items..
- Craft up any gems you might need.
- Blow the rest of your mats trying to get an Ancient weapon. Preferably one with high Acid Cloud Damage.
