You can only play multiplayer with other players of the same NG+ tier, although the shared stash will always be accessible to all your characters across all tiers.

The entire world is re-rolled and all quests reset (you start the game in Echo Pass once again), although access to the Mapworks will be available right from the start.

The important differences between NG+ and your first playthrough (aside from tougher enemies, better gold drops and higher-level loot) are as follows: You can't switch back to a lower NG+ tier. Any further restarts will be listed as NG+5 (you can replay the game indefinitely). If you complete NG+3, you can start again on NG+4, where enemies are scaled to level 120 at the start (your character level cap always remains at 100).

NG+3 for characters between level 99-100 (enemies and loot will be scaled up to level 100-119).Ĭompleting new game plus allows you to start the next tier.

NG+2 for characters between level 80-98 (enemies and loot will be scaled up to level 81-99).

NG+ for characters up to level 79 (enemies and loot will be scaled up to level 51-80).

There are multiple NG+ tiers and you will be placed into the tier that most closely matches your level: To begin the next playthrough, talk to Felicia (an NPC in Minehead). New game plus (NG+) can only be started after killing the Netherlord. Other useful tomes include Concentration (+mana regen), Blocking (+% block chance) and Adventuring (+% XP/fame gain, +% potion effectiveness). The Treasure Hunter tome also increases your gold and magic find stats when taught to the pet, although it doesn’t show up on your Arcane Statistics panel. Expertise tomes only reduce the stat requirements on items, NOT the level requirements. Despite its description, Barter does NOT reduce the price for enchanting items. Reduced town travel time applies in both cases.Īlthough the Barter tome has no effect when taught to the pet, the discount also applies when you send the pet back to town to sell items.

When taught to the pet, Animal Handling makes its minions stronger, but doesn’t affect the stats of your minions (or the pet itself). The only really worthwhile use of spell slots are the tomes a.k.a passives.Īnimal Handling makes your pet and minions stronger, but doesn’t affect the pet’s summoned minions. The damaging spells are laughably weak, while the summoned minions draw virtually no attention from enemies, making them useless as meatshields. The bonuses from buffs are just not that great and often only last for 20 seconds or less. I’m going to be blunt here: nearly all active spells are worthless.
