Question 1

What is the best team in Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising?

Accepted Answer

The most consistent all-purpose party is one tank, one support, and two damage dealers: a high-HP frontliner to hold aggro (ideally wearing the mythic glove), a support that provides healing and cooldown reduction, plus one single-target burst DPS for bosses and one AoE clearer for mob waves. On boss-only chapters, swap the AoE slot for a second burst DPS. See our tier list for the current S-tier classes in patch 1.0.6.2.

Question 2

How do I clear Chapter 10 in one day?

Accepted Answer

Chapter 10 is a gear and runeword check, not a raw level check. Pre-farm your core runewords in Chapters 8-9 (prioritize a cooldown-reduction weapon runeword and a lifesteal chest runeword), push your main DPS past the 60% crit breakpoint, and equip the mythic glove on your tank so the boss cleave never reaches your backline. Save your burst window for right after the boss's summon phase, and let overnight idle rewards top off your upgrades before the final attempt. Our Chapter 10 walkthrough breaks down every boss phase.

Question 3

How can I level up really fast in Path of Idle: Old Gods Rising?

Accepted Answer

Always idle on the highest chapter you can auto-clear in under 90 seconds — XP per minute beats XP per kill. Socket an XP-boost runeword into your helm, claim the daily first-clear bonus on every unlocked chapter, and spend energy refills during double-XP events. Never let the idle reward cap sit full; collect at least every 8 hours. Our Leveling Fast guide includes the exact hourly XP table per chapter.

Question 4

How does the mythic glove's aggro effect actually work?

Accepted Answer

The mythic glove's hidden effect forces the wearer to the top of the enemy threat table for the first 15 seconds of every wave, regardless of damage dealt. This is intended behavior, not a bug: equip it on your tank to pin opening boss aggro, and never put it on a DPS — a squishy carry pulling first-wave aggro is the number one cause of failed Chapter 10 runs. After the opening window, threat returns to normal damage-based aggro.

Question 5

Should I sell or dismantle boxes, and why can't I sell some of them?

Accepted Answer

Event and chapter-reward boxes are unsellable by design — the sell button is intentionally disabled, so don't hoard them. Open gear boxes immediately, but dismantle duplicate low-tier boxes in the forge: dismantling returns rune shards used for runeword crafting, which is worth far more than the gold from sellable boxes. Rule of thumb: open anything at or above your current chapter tier, dismantle everything below it.
