LEVEL CHALLENGES
Itching for a challenge and can't wait until you are high enough level to do the Attribute Challenges or uberquests? The Level Challenge rewards you for beating a difficult area at as low a character level as possible.
Expert players only!
All three Level Challenges take place on the same map, but you need to collect a different item each time. The items you need to complete the Level Challenge drop off specific boss targets.
What to Do
Each Level Challenge requires you to find and kill a specific Priestess on the Tran Athulua uberlevel, then collect her unique charm drop and use a cube recipe to add special bonuses to the charm. The catch is that you can only do this at a very low character level.
You need to be physically present at the battle and land the killing blow on the correct Priestess before you can use the cube recipe that grants you the reward. If a minion or party member kills the Priestess, you get nothing!
If you succeed in killing the Priestess, you get a whirling red overlay that looks like three rotating bolts:
The overlay
You now have 30 seconds to perform the cube recipe. If you do not make it, you have to kill the Priestess again!
Btw. Although the whirling effect looks the same regardless of which of the three Priestesses on the level you kill, you cannot use the recipe unless you kill the Priestess that matches your Sunstone.
Btw. Killing a Priestess with reflected damage will not trigger the effect.
Btw. You can only do the Level Challenges in Hatred (Normal) difficulty.
Btw. You gain no experience on Hatred difficulty in Tran Athulua itself, but you may need to skip some monsters on your way to Act 2 in order to stay below the maximum level.

Auch wenn Laz sagt, es wird ein Würfel-Rezept geben "Set-Item+Rare=Unique". Ich denke mal, das Unique wird vom gleichen Typ sein wie das alte Set-Item, eine prima Gelegenheit um an ein paar Sacred Uniques zu kommen.
