Just wanted to brainstorm on some creative level 1 unique and set items that could be introduced in a future season.
To me, leveling 1-15 is such a grind and having fun items that can convert these leveling experiences into more fun times would be a welcome addition.
One of my favorite items for low leveling is the Raven claw bow due to its 100% explosive arrow passive ability.
What are some interesting items designs you would like to have at level 1 for uniques and set items?
I’d like some sort of 2 or 3 piece set like cleglaws however it is only armor and no weapon
So playing from start to end of a2 is a grind now? Please play something else
1-15 is grind? 
Come on dude.
I’m not sure a level 1 unique can ever compete with something like a 6 socket crystal sword/war axe with a Hel rune and 5x20poison damage over 2 seconds jewels, or something like that. Closest we have now is like Rixots Keen at level 2, which is about as OP as a low level unique can get. And yeah, honestly, 1-15 goes by so fast as it is it’s sorta unnecessary to even consider adding such low level uniques.
Hsarus set maybe the one you want?
I don’t remember but can’t -15req jools also get 20 psn dmg without lvl req?
I think end of act 2 is being generous. You are 15 around the time you go into the palace in act 2, if not earlier. Unless you are rushing, which further proves the point this is not a grind.
Being level 1-15 is one of my favorite parts. I love the beginning. Starting over in D2 is so fun that I often end up creating more characters early on than I mean to.
Hmm, probably… good luck finding one though, -15req jewels can definitely get other decent mods on them tho for sure even with zero level requirement, Hel is just the cheap/lazy option
for such low levels you can have a whole bunch of magic items that are helpful. Give them a chance. Not everything has to be set\unique
for attack damage characters, get some min\max damage rings, amulets and jewels.
For casters, you can get FCR, mana and mana per kill, some +skill items too.
P.S. but even without any of this, level 15 is like 1 hour of solo p1 play at a moderate pace. With parties or playersX commands you can reduce that time, and with just some aforementioned gear on top you can probably reduce it to 40 minutes.
I didn’t want to say a specific stage in act 2 as it depends on your playstyle. But you are usually over 15 when you are at the stage to face Duriel.
This is another great point. Why do people feel the need to start with the highest tier of gear?
I just tried Lost Ark (and uninstalled in short order) and absolutely hate how you start out with uncommon and rare gear as well as at a level 10 with 6 skills. What? I didn’t choose/find/build any of this. Progression is one of the big reasons I play games like this. If you are going to just make me start out semi-god like, why bother?
In short, get money, gamble items, use magic and rares you find from gambling and fighting. There are also some unique and sets before 15 that can be found or crossed over from your other chars, so you can always use those.
Yup but we could use another
Right, most people forget about the fact you can get through the first two acts just fine with a vendor weapon socketed with a few chipped gems, lol. Same goes for armor, helm…chipped gems OP! Vendor items OP!
im sorry man but, you deserve to be blasted about the 1-15 being a grind. like holy crap how easy do you guys want this game to be?
