What to do now?

Hi all,

Im a bit confused as to what i should be doing now in game.

Ive completed the story and am working through the maps, my plan was to try and get the bonus on all maps. But then i was told in chat to work on getting elder influence. I tried to clarify why but chat being chat didnt get very far.

Im up to about tier 9 maps and in the elder influenced areas there are now elder guardians and the elder who have moved in and supplanted the original bosses.

Should i just go kill them? Should i keep doing what i was doing? Why do we spread the elder and not the shaper?

Hopefully someone will be able to offer some advice on the whys.

My other question is about gear, i seem to be at the point where the next increase in equipment is in the 5+ ex range to purchase, im not sure how im supposed to get that kind of currency. Advice would be great.

Thanks all :-)

It is up to you really .


1/ Fill out your atlas for the bonus

2/Farm some currency by running maps that you enjoy and plan your next build .

3/ Min/Max your gear by farming currency and upgrading .

elder influence is when you clear the shaper influenced maps , that helps spawn elder .
Then you go kill elder for the loot .
then end .

Just another end game option to do .


Usually I try and take my character to level 90 and see if I like the character to keep farming .

At this point if I do like the character I keep mapping and farming currency .

If the answer is NO , I will start a new character based on what skill/build I would like to play next .

Honestly end game goal is totally up to you , play how you wanna play , have fun with it .

If you´re running the Atlas for the first time just continue with progressing through the Atlas.

There is also other content besides the Atlas system.

Specific encounters such as Atziri / Uberatziri / Breach lords ..

And Delve system (mines)

Thanks for the advice and ideas.

Think ill just work on completeing my atlas then and worry more about the influence in 3.5.
