Newbie question

Alright, haven’t played d3 in a dozen years, before RoS was released.
So now I unlocked the Mystic. Is it worth the money to upgrade her? Or would that be a total waste of gold?
Thanks you.

Yes. Upgrading her allows you to enchant more types of items.

As you will likely find out, most (all ?) the items that you loot won’t be optimal; the mystic allows you to reroll one of the item stats (several times if needed) until you get something satisfactory. Check the “Enchant” tab.

The Mystic also has other uses… mostly cosmetic. Like changing the appearance or colour of some of your items.

I assume the same goes for the blacksmith?

And are those +xp from monster kills on magic items worth it? Or are those 2 or 3 xp negligible in the grand picture?

Upgrading the Blacksmith (and the Jeweller) will allow him to craft higher level items… at the beginning, the blacksmith can only craft level 25 items… at level 12 (the max level), he can craft level 70 items. So yes, upgrading the Blacksmith (and Jeweller) is definitely worth it. The “high” cost is not so high… it’s relatively easy to accumulate millions of gold early in the game.

+xp stats on weapons or armour are quite negligeable, except while levelling your hero to level 70. I wouldn’t sweat it for +2 or +3 XP, but there is a level 23 set (Cain’s Fate) that will increase your XP by 50% when you equip 3 items of that set; the set is available from the blacksmith once you get the plan for it. There are other ways also to increase XP – but I think you should find those by yourself — part of the joy of discovering the in and outs of D3 :slight_smile: .

Best of luck in your game.
