With Torchlight Elite Hardcore, you only have one shot at this or you’re back to square one. If you are used to Disgaea and the like you know what it is to level up prematurely.

Use that to build up gold reserves and farm for items. Act 1 may start to seem pussy to you after a span of time and this is a good thing.

You need as much armor as you can load on and will you need to level up to at least the late 20’s before hitting Act 1’s boss.

However, you need to grind for gear, especially stuff that gives you elemental protection and armor. You could conceivably spend levels 21-30 IN Act 1 because the end dungeon is fairly difficult, but you will yearn to go to Act 2 because level ups will become painfully slow and, because you are not dying, you will build up a lot of ember chips to merge up.
