Early Skills
Up to 11 points in teeth, you also want to try and shop a wand from akara for +1-+3 teeth - you can reset the shop by going to the cold plains and going back to akara.
Picking up wands,orbs,scepters,throwing knives, fulimating potions etc are all great sellers early game to give you money.
On the way the level 14 , you want to get a point into Clay Golem ( you can take golem early if you prefer ) + Amplify damage + iron Maiden, Iron Maiden is your key to victory when it comes to slaying bosses
where they literally kill themselves on your golem, just keep recasting the golem and the curse curse when it expires.
Act 1 Leveling
The beginnings are simple, run into blood moor, clear the den grab the extra skill point from the den, travel into cold plains (Grab way point, go to town and get stamina potions) slaying larger packs along the way, onto stoney field
find the Cairn stones, stoney field waypoint and the underground passage, reach the dark wood find the waypoint and grab the scroll from the tree of inifuss, you can choose to ignore the big
boss pack here. go to town and open the portal to tristram back at the Cairn stones, now you will be able to do "Tristram Runs" you will be able to find these easily
or your own game, to repeatedly clear Tristram until you're level 12-14 and then Head for Andarial!
Act2
Playing through act2, leveling your teeth all the way up until you're level 18, you can choose to put a point into bone armor if that makes playing more comfortable for you.
Once you're level 18-23 you can use your Akara skill and Reset stat points to reset and then the transformation of your charecter begins, from a teeth user into a bone spear user
Bone Spear Syngeries with Bone wall and Teeth, putting your points into - Bone spear first, then as many points into bone wall and teeth as you can, along with the point into
Clay Golem (1), Amplify Damage (1), Iron Maiden (1) and Bone Armor (1).
You will most likely finish act2 at around level 20, you can choose to do "Tomb runs" which are the most effective way of getting to level 24 or you can choose to venture
onto act3,act4 and act5.
Continuing to put points into bone spear up until level 24, where you can put a point into bone prison for added safety, this will give you a lot of control enabling you to
Once you've gotten to act5, play through the game until the act5 quest, where you should be able to deal with these early game behemoths, you can load up the arreat summit
with Mana and Health potions if it you fear it will not go smoothly, using your Iron Maiden Golem tactic, along with Bone Prison and Bone Spear to focus them down.
Now you will be able to do "baal runs, or in normal it is more common to do "baal walks" where you can join a game with others around your levels, this will comfortably get you from
level 25 up through to level 40+, Leveling your bone spear, bone wall along the way.
Nightmare
Act1 - Hunt down the Den of Evil, using your Bone prison & Bone Armor to keep you safe and your bone spear to deal with the enemies, you will be using your Skill and Stat Reset
from Akara again after clearing the den of evil, as here you will be finding your Golem + iron Maiden Tactic to be completely ineffective.
Now you're level 40+, you will have 20 Points into Bone spear, 1 Point into bone armor, you will place 5-8 points into corpse explosion, the rest into bone Prison then Bone Wall
can choose some curses, however your bone prison will be very strong and keeping you safe, you will be aiming to put 20 points into both bone wall and bone prison as you level up
You will most likely be flying through the game at this point, your aim will be to get to act5 and start your baal runs in preparation for hell, you can leave for hell at 70+
You can choose to do some Mephisto runs in nightmare for mid tier gear, I would definitely recommend trying to shop a teleportation staff for your "W/Switch" which you can
recharge with an ort rune + Chilled gem your staff inside the Horadric Cube
