- ✅ You can save farming time by purchasing tokens.
- ✅ Farm Heroic-level items in advance by farming the Grotto at +11 using Explorer's Grace. (Skip if your item level is too low)
- ✅ Complete the Timewalking 5-dungeon weekly quest to obtain a raid Heroic item.

5. 🛠️ Utilizing Crafted Items and Final Goal
- ✅ It is recommended to craft a 681 item level crafted item first with 90 Gilded Emblems.
- ✅ You can add embellishments to crafted items to receive additional buffs.
- ⚠️ Do not craft cloaks as you must use Season 3-specific cloaks in Season 3.
- ⚠️ Consider crafting shoes as you may need to use raid-dropped shoes.
- ✅ We recommend crafting wrist pieces, and for the remaining slot, craft an item in a slot that is not part of the Tier 4 set.
- ✅ Final Goal: Season 2 Tier 4 set, item level 680 or higher, fully equipped with enchants/gems/Hurrke
