Welcome back to our continuing guide series to the various Adventures available in Lost Relics. I think Lost Relics is a fantastic game and is currently one of the largest sleeping giants in the Play2Earn space. It's quickly become the most popular game on the ENJIN chain and recently rolled out an amazing update to their blockchain market that eliminates gas fees in all but rare situations.
I thought that a good way to welcome folks into the game would be to show it off and provide some tips for completing the early adventures with a variety of different levels of gear. Today we show how a player can advance in Lost Relics with only the most basic equipment!
With all that in mind, welcome to the Arcane Pits!
As you can see the Arcane Pits are full of a variety of beasties and provide a resource rewards related to the Engineering Skill. At a lower level iron ore is the most expensive single resource you're going to find regularly until you jump multiple difficulties. This make the Pits ripe for farming! Also, because it's a fairly short map, it can be a really easy place to complete daily quests!
What's not to love?
When it comes to Monsters there isn't much here thats very complicated. Mordium and Firewing are going to try and light you on fire and that's what you're trying to avoid here. Hoodgoblin and Wretch are the only creatures large enough to take multiple power attacks to take down so, as long as you move slowly, you shouldn't get overwhelmed!
Let's take a look at the loadout I bring into the Pits:
That's a Criminals Katana (BC), Guards Bow, Fairy Floss Sheep, Durable Steel Pickaxe, Feeble Ring of Regeneration, and a stack of cooked Hoppers. If you were to switch the Criminals Katana out for a Guard's Katana (which is a Virtual item with identical stats) this loadout is extremely cheap. We're talking like <4000 gold, wow!
REMEMBER: Items that NPC vendors sell in the store are often sold cheaper on the market! Look for Feeble Rings of Regeneration there and save a little gold!
To celebrate recently getting the awesome title of The Swordsman I thought it would make sense to focus on a sword. With the Criminals Katana you're going to be doing some serious damage so it's helpful to practice taking out monsters in a single swing.
If you are holding Shift while attacking your character will freeze in place and immediately start their swing. This technique is key for taking out enemies before they can deal a single damage to you. Be careful with those swings though, if you hit more than 1 monster your attacks damage will be split between them in a way that can make killing enemies before they hit you fail. Avoid that! You can however use this mechanic to take out whole groups of low HP enemies like grunt, ghostling, and ceraghoul in one power attack.
Pro Tip: Stay out of the lava!
Keep an eye out for Fountains of Youth. Each one will provide a huge reward of HP and MANA AND they only show up before a chest room!
That's really all there is to it! Keep these things in mind and your katana close and you'll be rolling in iron ore and completed bounties in no time!
I hope this was helpful! Please feel free to tip me by sending whatever you want to @m3ss on HIVE. It's often how I learn about cool new projects and something that is uniquely possible with crypto-assets!
