Ironsoul guide - Tips and Tricks (e200-250+)

### Important, Outdated

This guide is outdated. Please use Ironsoul Guide Updated or the e200-300 pins in the discord. Also note, gear and time listed in t1 guides is generally optional. It's recommended in case you have it, not because it's required.

## Character Breakdown

### Phases

The phases for this class is set into two phases: Build and Burst

```
Build Phase: This phase is for increasing your spell casts and
    increasing your number of sources

Burst Phase: This phase is for getting profits as high as possible

```

### Attributes

Attributes are distributed according to gear that you want to use, but here is a breakdown for this guide

```
Total Points in Example: 649

Intelligence - 125
Insight      - 150
Spellcraft   - 137
Wisdom       - 0
Dominance    - 0
Patience     - 25
Mastery      - 134
Empathy      - 75

```

### Items

Items for this class are split into three distinct categories: Pet Building Items (optional), Void Mana Items, and Character Tailored Items

```
Pet Building Items: these are items to increase pet level faster,
    increase pet ability power, or pet ability speed

Void Mana Items: these are items to gather void mana before bursting

Character Tailored Items: these are items to increase either
    character ability power or evocation efficiency

```

Ideally character ability power is prioritized, but evocation efficiency can suffice on a burst phase

\*I do not have max level items for this build, but I did get  to legendary

### Pets

Pets are for maximizing each phase as follows:

```
Build Phase
    Arcanaworg: Cast as many incantations as possible, set all your
         spells to reckless and stance to Defense
    Simulacrum: Change stance to Meditation to build up charges,
         additionally Simulacrum buys sources until failure

Burst Phase
    Archivist: Gather void mana with Void Radiance, then change to
         Berserk stance to increase your evocation efficiencies

```

### Spells

Spells are used in two distinct ways: spam and spam (I joke, but... pretty much)

```
Incantation Building: This is to build Ironsoul, just cast incantations recklessly

Spell Charging: This is to make sure Temper the Steel is able to run while
    Furious Strike is casting

Evocation Bursting: This is as it sounds, ***evocation recklessness***

```

### Example

```
   Casts: 1.59e3 (8.69e3) -> Round 2: Casts: 2.07e3 (1.44e4)

```

```
     Casts: 5.49e3          -> Round 2: Casts: 1.03e4

```

```
            Casts: 8.80e4          -> Round 2: Casts: 2.47e5

```

```
    Casts: 1.87e5 (1.83e5) -> Round 2: Casts: 5.06e5 (5.02e5)

```

```
         Casts: 6.23e3 (2.23e3) -> Round 2: Casts: 7.23e3 (3.23e3)

```

```
  Casts: 7.48e3 (3.48e3) -> Round 2: Casts: 9.23e3 (5.23e3)

```

```
With ~3e17 void mana I got the following gains:

Mystery increase from e223 to e233 in ~12 hours of buildup and burst

After using Get Mysteries I was able to increase my mysteries from
    e233 to e240 in ~1 hour of buildup and burst

Round 2: with ~2e18
Mystery increase from e240 to e243

After using Get Mysteries I was able to increase my mysteries from
    e243 to e251 in ~1 minute of burst

```

## Putting it all Together

### Build Phase

#### Pet(s) -  into ,  into .

During the first part of the build phase, you will want to increase 's ability power by casting as many incantations as possible. Best pets to use in this case is  into  to cast the following spells , , , , , and

If possible have the  and  items equipped to minimize the time incantations are active and boost pet abilities. You may want to switch between  and  initially, but if you are letting the game idle use .

During the second part of the build phase, you will switch to  and then into . Equip pet leveling items to speed up this part of the phase or your character tailored items to help you build charges. Also, switch your stance to  and build up your charges on , , ,  and ,  on reckless.

Exit this phase when  fails to buy you sources.

### Burst Phase

#### Pet(s) -  into

The only pet I recommend for this phase is . I have not had  burst as well, and it takes a long time to build up.  may be helpful, but it takes time to get to  so the void mana gained may not be high enough to carry through.

(Optional) Now is a good time to use your  charges (and  to get the accumulation bonus) with the  stance, character tailored items equipped, and  to get character experience. Turn off  and switch to .

During the first part of the burst phase, you will want to increase your void mana gain by using void mana items and . When the void mana gain is saturated, switch to the following spells , , ,  and , .

REMEMBER to switch stances to  and equip your character tailored items if you did not do that already.

During the second part of the build, you will cast all of your  and  charges. Buy upgrades as they become available.

Exit this phase when  is no longer increasing your mysteries gain - and you have casted as many evocations as possible ( and ) while  is active. Return to the build phase or exile.
