Someone recommended a size build on the gorilla dude i did aegis flamewalkers axe project/xp/size/ark speed. Anyways I needed 4 quests to unlock dice dude and if I completed this run on t3 forest for the first time, 15k kills, and beating forest tier 3 with him. I ended up having my best run ever, beat t3, and was 5 seconds off unlocking soul harvester to also got all 4 quests to unlock the dice guy and unlock what people claim is the best legendary to start a run. Just felt like the run where the game changes because you understand how to actually create a "good" run.

As of right now I have all 4 slots unlocked but cannot for the life of me getting a run going well enough to be t3 forest or t2 desert for that matter. I dont think I understand the philosophy of the game or just poor itemization. More often than not my goal is to obtain 3-4 projectile wepz depending on my character and run exp/luck/projectile plus tomes. This gets me to the point where i roll first map and 2nd map mobs bit can't kill bosses.

What are some core things im missing. I've learned recently luck is a major stat in the game but in terms of picking levels I cant tell when its best to level tomes over weps etc. Focus 1 wep or not.
