How To Prepare Yourself Mod 18- Infernal Descent

Now, You already aware with cap for stats. Now it’s time to talk about other valid stuff related to Mod 18- Infernal Descent, like it’s zone, enemies, dungeons and how to prepare yourself for neverwinter mod 18. We are going to share some tips so you can easily face all the enemies of new zones in mod 18.

1. We would like to suggest you to begin with Expeditions. So, go and start farming ME’s and WE’s as much as possible with all your character. And grab high item level gear from all expeditions with all of your characters.
   It’s always good to have plenty of gears to fine tune your stats in future even with high item level gear. You should always target to get gear for your character and companion also. If you do not have high iLvL gears for companion then you should get it before launch date of Mod 18 to optimize your stats at best.


2. It’s worth your time to farm HE’s in new zone as they have chance to drop pretty decent gear. So, you should always go and farm HE’s to get gears with decent stats and high iLvL. (specially just go after bosses and hunts)
   
3. Mod 18 is going to be all about Elven Battle Enchantment. So, try to grab one high level elven enchantment if you don’t own one. Mod 18 is full of CC effects and to handle those nasty stun and effects. You may think about Elven Battle Enchantment. We would love to suggest you get one high level Elven Enchantment even if you are dps as it will provide you even more damage.
   
4. The Orcus’s set got a big hit in Mod 18. It was inevitable it would happen sooner or later, but it’s really very disappointed stuff that they did not add any new set as replacement. Definitely, that is going to affect large players database.
   There are few alternatives like Arcturia set, Trobriand set, Apocalypse set and ToO set. You can still use orcus set as primary source or damage buff but its not gonna work as before and would not outperform other sets. I would like to suggest you to go for Arcturia Set.
   
5. As discussed earlier, you need to farm expeditions a lot to get high iLvL gears for your character or may be for companions. Along with that you would also target to get Arcturia set even if you own one.
   As we know orcus set just got a big hit (from 20% to 10%) which makes arcturia set is one of the best sets for dps in game. It has already crossed 1 million prices in auction house, so, simple as it just go and farm expeditions as much as you can because arcturia set may reach the skyrocket price with launch of mod 18.
   
6. Start campaign ASAP. It will provide plenty of upgrades for your character in no time. Farm heroic encounters on a regular basis, unlock dungeon before boons. It will provide you plenty of stuff. (Don’t run after boons earlier)
   
7. Last but not least hunting, if you do not know then let us inform you that after the skip in Mod 15, Mod 16 and Mod 17 from hunting its back in Mod 18. Hunting was always an awesome part of neverwinter world. And most of the time community always welcome hunting either its in chult or in barovia.
   You are supposed to get an awesome piece of gear from hunts with guaranteed drop rate this time. Though monster spawn ratio would be a pain in the ass as developer love to implement it in this way 😀

Some Other Important Facts and Tips about Mod 18 Infernal Descent

1. New campaign is a bit interesting as compared to previous campaigns. You still need to wait for few days to start getting campaign currency after cap. However, this campaign is not boring, tedious and grindy at all. You can easily reach weekly cap within a few hours.
   
2. You should always farm HE’s because it may drop BiS gears for specific class and role.
   
3. Mod 18 seems very small and short. It will be hard to keep players busy until mod 19. That may be gonna hurt a lot to developers of the game.
   
4. There is no specific update on professions and master work gears. This mod also lacks new gears and companions.
   
5. To be really, new dungeon seems bit easier as compare to ToMM but still its not worth the time as rewards does not seem to be effective at all.
   
6. Still, CW, HR and TR are BiS when it comes to DPS. Warlock class still feels way weak compared to other classes.
