Torchlight Infinite is a free-to-play action RPG in the Torchlight series, designed as a cross-platform competitor to Path of Exile and Diablo. The Hero Trait system gives each character class multiple distinct build paths with unique skill modifications. Seasonal leagues rotate every 3 months with new mechanics, keeping the meta fresh. The Pact of Darkness crafting system offers deterministic gear crafting (choose what stats you want) as an alternative to pure RNG. Endgame revolves around the God of Hunting mode with escalating difficulty tiers for the best loot.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary equipment | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your build's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary equipment | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |
