Intro
The Sage is very special in his behaviour, since his first picked Ability is working as his Main Weapon.
Here is a Collection of things you can do with him.
Some of them are just devestating and some are just for fun.

Keep in mind, those are only suggestions. In the end, you decide what to do.
All Builds are focused around having fun and are open to individual fine tuning with Abilities and Equipment, which allows more variation, combinations and shenanigans.
Preperation and Information
Those Builds are meant for Endgame, but can also be used along the way.
FUN is the most important part, so those Builds aren't meant to do the biggest Numbers
or to be perfectly optimized.

Checklist:
I am here, so I...
  • collected all required Items
  • maxed out all Potions
  • mastered all Abilities with the Tier III Quest and the Ability Specialist
    • if not, I can use @Moldredd's 100% Achievement Guide or any other help
  • know how to use Potions and manipulate RNG
    • if not, I have to read @Ulyaoth's Informative Stuff or any other Guide about this

How to read the "Build"?
Potion of Memories (MP) = X + X
Reverberant Tinkture (RT) = x2

X >, < X = If you are lacking Potions of Memories, this can help you to decide what to pick.
> left Trait, < right Trait

Example:

Weapon Proficiency Tier I
  • lock the first Trait you see with (MP)
  • pick the other Trait, when it shows up
  • pick the locked Trait afterwards
Weapon Proficiency Tier IV - pick Power with (RT)

Trait Priorities
Long Fingers (Pickup Range) is up to the individual, I personally prefer to pick it as early as possible.
Priorities will be categorized and follow a general rule, if not specificly named.
Traits listed under "Banish" are excluded from the "Priority Category".
As an example:
- "Speed" equals Attack + Movement Speed, so both Traits should have a high priority.
- "Movement Speed" alone will take priority over Attack Speed
  • Character = listed Weapon Proficiency = Proficient Stance > Dedication Traits
  • Ability = listed Ability Traits
  • Speed = Movement Speed > Attack Speed
  • Damage = Damage > Crit Chance > Crit Damage > Force
  • Reach = Range > Area
  • Defense = Bulwark > Max HP = Regen = Block = Defense

Advanced Traits should always have the highest priority after Character and Ability Traits,
since they have limited Tiers and are hard restricted with Hero Levels.
  • Piercing Wind
  • Multistrike
  • Demonic Exchange (Damage, Force, Speed)
  • Affinities (Fire, Frost, Lighting, False Blessing, Crippling Strikes)
  • Elemental Surge (Fire, Ice, Lighting)
  • Ethereal Shift (A+B)

Remaining Potions of Oblivion (Banish) can and should be used for unlisted Character and Ability Traits, to narrow down the Trait Pool as much as possible.

Traits
Since Traits are locked behind a fixed Minimum Hero Level, some Hero Levels can be quite crucial to gain a specific Trait.
This is also important for Potions of Oblivion, because if you clear out the Pool as early as possible from unwanted Trait Branches. you increase your Odds for wanted Traits to be offered.

As an example:
At Hero Level 24 you can be offered Ability Tier III Traits, which will allow to upgrade an Ability.
You want the Ability Trait at this Hero Level, before reaching Hero Level 25,
since at Hero Level 25 Character Traits Tier III become avaible as well, which can fill the Pool by up to 6 Traits at this point, without considering the use of Banish.

Key Levels are also Hero Level 48+49, since you can get Ability Tier VI Traits, before Basic Traits Tier V become avaible at Hero Level 50, which again increases your chance by a good margin.

Ability Upgrades and 2nd Abilities
Ability Upgrades should be picked as soon as possible.
Earliest possible at Hero Level 24, after picking the Ability Tier III Trait.

It can happen, that you get offered your 2nd wanted Ability while upgrading your 1st.
Choose carefully, if you can manage the RNG involved, since you fill your Pool with additional Ability Traits.

An almost perfect outcome for getting the 2nd Ability is probably after you have picked all Character Traits and after upgrading the 1st Ability at Tier VI. At this point, you can handle additional Traits in your pool pretty well, without RNG screwing you over too much.
--- Late Game Builds (Agony / pre Vault)
The following Builds involve a foreign Class Mark and have multiple Abilities.
This section is meant for the Vault, so you should have all Items and all Potions in your possesion, as well finished all Ability related Quests and unlocked all possible Traits and all Blessings.

Endgame - Checklist
  • all Items
  • all Potions
  • all Ability related Unlocks
  • all Traits
  • all Blessings

Due heavy RNG-Involvement, the Builds will be presented with basic Equipment.
Every Ability on top or Uncommen Equipment can always be seen as a Bonus,
but it will never be mandatory.


RNG Manipulation
At this point it is important to understand the Use and Function for Potions of Oblivion.

Starting at Hero Level 5, you can be presented with 12 different Tier I Character Traits,
so make sure to use Banish early and wise.

Some Numbers
  • 13 Basic Traits - 5 Tiers each = 65 Level Ups
  • 12 Character Traits - 4 Ranks each - 3 Categories = 12 Level Ups (in most Cases)
  • 8 Potions of Memories = 8 Level Ups
  • 1 Ability - between 2 - 4 Traits per Tier - 10 Tiers = 10 Level Ups
Without banishing away anything, a foreign Class mark and 1 Ability you will already need 95 level Ups. Not included any Type of Advanced Traits.

At Hero Level 5 you can have 25 different Trait Offerings per Level Up.
At Hero Level 8 you can have 27 different Trait Offerings per Level Up.
At Hero Level 10 you can have 30+ different Trait Offerings per Level Up.
USE YOUR POTIONS OF OBLIVION AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!

Agony, Torment and Artifacts
After clearing the Vault once to retrieve the Archeologist's Thread Artifact,
one may want to start retrieving Uncommon Items in Agony Runs.

For those Agony Runs I can recommend a simple Artifact Setup, which gives good benefits to the whole farming process.

Archeologist's Thread (Lord of Greed - Vault)
- allows to retrieve Uncommon Items under the same Rules like the Well
Hastening Sands (Lord of Pain - Haunted Caverns Agony)
- shortens the Run Duration to 20 Minutes, while keeping Enemy Spawn high
Malignant Mirror (random Drop)
- spawns 3 Lords at the end, which increases Torment Shard Drops and odds for new Artifacts

--- One Ability Only (Main Weapon)
Since the Sage gets his 1st picked Ability as Main Weapon, one can make "Main Weapon Only Runs" with every Ability desired.

No matter if used for an Elemental Build or Raw Damage. Sage can break em all!

BUT,
getting the Tier III Ability Trait on Hero Level 24 to upgrade the Ability is crucial in most cases.
RNG will always be the biggest Enemy.


Some Runs can be very hard!!!

@HONG QIRONG
Thank you very much for the kind words!
Glad you enjoy the stuff we came up with!
HONG QIRONG 29 Dec, 2024 @ 8:06am 
Thank you for making over lives easier mate and fun too. The names you tag to each build of the SAGE is SA(V)AGE. I couldn't get it out of my mind. Thank you for all the efforts with Moldredd. Master Ulyaoth :)

The Way of 1000 Fists got me to think of Fist of the North Star kenshiro and Jotaro kujo from jojo's bizarre adventure
Ulyaoth  [author] 25 Oct, 2024 @ 2:51pm 
@Nepherenia
Thx for pointing this out.
You should get Conversion and banish Adaptation.
If you check the screenshot with the damge overview, you can see +150 Base Damage from Spectral Fists Traits, which come from Conversion.

Sry for the inconveniance.
Nepherenia 25 Oct, 2024 @ 2:21pm 
I am not certain if this is a typo, or if I just misread it, but for the Way of 1000 Fists, it shows Conversion as a banish option, and also has it listed as the preferred traits for levels 3, 6, and 10. Was one of these supposed to be Adaption?

Based on the stats from all the Proficient Stances, I'm guessing Adaption is what we are supposed to be selecting as the preferred trait?

Thank you very much for the kind words and for pointing me towards the error!

@Halfsoap
Thank you ver much!
Halfsoap 15 Oct, 2024 @ 5:08am 
I understand. Still appreciate the fact that you spend time making guides and giving your opinions on the discussions. Much appreciated!
Ulyaoth  [author] 15 Oct, 2024 @ 5:00am 
@Halfsoap
Actually not, becuase this is a very suqbjective topic.

As a quick rundown, every char has its unqiue Traits, Sage is my top favorite though.

For Artifacts i actually love the Magma Vessel and Fallen Star, since those makes combat more active instead of AFK Simulator.
Also the Malignant Mirror and Demonic Cube is a musthave for me, when running on higher Artifacts.
Halfsoap 15 Oct, 2024 @ 4:56am 
Thanks! One more question though, have you considered making a tier list about characters, skills, equipment or artifacts since 1.0 has out? I'm playing this game a lot and would love to see some opinion about those.
