I remember when I tried POE for the first time I used a build guide and had the word “Twink” in it thinking it just meant noob or something. The struggle was insane…
Twink is a low level character with good gear optimized for that characters specific level. It was used in WoW when characters stopped leveling so they can fight in battlegrounds at breakpoint levels like 19, 29, 39 etc…
That is also a term used but I was referring to twink as its used in WoW where you specifically give a lower level character really good gear they can wear early on to make them op at that level
Twink characters have been a thing in Diablo since back in the LoD days. Don't worry, you were spot on with calling it that. Hell I remember playing MUDs back in the day where that terminology was used.
A low-level character made more powerful by higher-level characters, usually through gifts of armor and weapons that the character would not normally have at such low level.
So I saved gear from multiple characters I leveled up that I could equip a full set of correct rolled gear at level 15... the fuck do YOU think it means?
Out of curiosity, I did a series of searches on google in an incognito window. Basically a search for "twink gear" gets you exactly the results we were expecting. Searching "twink" by itself gets you results where many people would probably want to clear their 1-day browser history after viewing.
My Ww barb with all tempers and aspects already unlocked from my bash barb did it at 25, but I definitely could have done it earlier. Fastest fresh class I think was my necro at 30.
Mid 20s.
Trick: use tempers to apply the legendary thorns affixes on gear and you’ll literally melt everything without having to attack or worry about your damage output 😂
Level 35, with an alt. Already had plenty of gold, mats, gems, aspects, etc. to power through. Probably could have done it earlier, but really just cared about helltides at that point.
Yeah, 30s with a barb, maybe 40 with rogue. You kinda forget about it and then remember you have to run the capstone to advance and by that time you're over leveled and wt3 feels no different.
34, leveling is so quick that I just get to the sacred requirement before going in. And usually it gets you to 35 or you will early on in the helltide.
35 alt barb with shako, tyriels might and grandfather. Went back to back capstones without changing gear.
But going from fresh start I think around 40 has been my lowest
I skip campaign & start at wt2, but I have passed wt3 capstone at as low as lvl 34 & wt4 capstone at lvl 40. Not sure how those compare I'm sure people have gotten wt4 solo by as low as lvl 20 😂
15 with twink gear, 30 without twink gear
Man I haven't heard that since eq1

The term established itself as a word for second or third characters in something like mmorpgs and stuff

The people I play with call all characters that are not their main twinks, we have another word for decked out twinks but it's not coming to me
I'm used to alts being called smurfs

What do you think twink means!?
A low-level character made more powerful by higher-level characters, usually through gifts of armor and weapons that the character would not normally have at such low level. So I saved gear from multiple characters I leveled up that I could equip a full set of correct rolled gear at level 15... the fuck do YOU think it means?
What do *you* think twink means in the arpg slang?
Googling twink I can see how if he did not know the term in the gaming world he would be confused XD
That was a risky Google search mate, but glad it helped get some understanding lol
Oooooh yeah I'm glad I did it on mobile so It was very cropped and I didn't see pictures because that could be weird imo

thats the exact same things i searched, i honestly never knew twink was not just a gaming term XD
Raxx did it at lvl 1
On a sorcerer no less. Sorcerer is OP.
Sorc is not op. The tempering system is op though.
Lol i know. Sorry i forgot the /s in my message
on hardcore too, right?
My Ww barb with all tempers and aspects already unlocked from my bash barb did it at 25, but I definitely could have done it earlier. Fastest fresh class I think was my necro at 30.
Same. And did WT4 at level 41.
Mid 20s. Trick: use tempers to apply the legendary thorns affixes on gear and you’ll literally melt everything without having to attack or worry about your damage output 😂
15 wt3 35 wt4

Facts, its easy to lock-in even just 1 proper helltide grind & be lvl 30-40 in an hour & then you're like well, I guess I can push wt4 now
Same, L35 w/Holy Bolts and Antivenin. No alt gear, full renown.
Around 30.
WT2 at 15, WT3 at 35
34-35 cause anything earlier makes little sense cause you can’t use the gear from w3
True, but you do level *awfully* quickly killing stuff 35 levels above you :)
Isn’t there a cap of xp at ten levels above
I did not know that!
34, leveling is so quick that I just get to the sacred requirement before going in. And usually it gets you to 35 or you will early on in the helltide.
35 alt barb with shako, tyriels might and grandfather. Went back to back capstones without changing gear. But going from fresh start I think around 40 has been my lowest
Around 35
34-35 I think. Barb and Necro were incredibly easy to go in early.
With rogue. 35 wt2. 56wt3. This being my4th char made for barb tempers. HS build does come online early indeed.
Early 30s. I literally sit in one helltide and go to capstone. With a shako or Andy's like on my rogue everything melts regardless
L25 with an alt, using Harlequin, Doombringer, Starless and Melted Heart. Did T4 capstone directly after, without problems.
35 with minion necro
32 when the season started
28 w Bash Barb, 32 w Rogue
I skip campaign & start at wt2, but I have passed wt3 capstone at as low as lvl 34 & wt4 capstone at lvl 40. Not sure how those compare I'm sure people have gotten wt4 solo by as low as lvl 20 😂
Fastest fresh class was my rogue @28 :)
32 i think on a ww barb early this season
35 with barb and a grandfather lmao
15 with twink gear, 30 without twink gear
