To clear Trial Level 100 (TL 100) on a fresh Warrior in Eternium’s A New Beginning (ANB) Gold League, you must reach level 70 quickly, craft key ability-boosting gear sets, and reserve your event Celestial Transform for your primary weapon before your six-hour timer expires.
Early Leveling: From Story to Trials
Every minute spent in town or running low-yield maps drains your six-hour event clock. Minimize time spent in the campaign and transition into Trials as early as possible.
- Complete Initial Story Quests: Run Act 1 quests only until you unlock basic town services and claim initial quest gems.
- Equip Utility Drops: Equip any dropped gear with bonus Experience or Movement Speed, regardless of rarity. Movement speed directly reduces clear times.
- Switch to Trials: Stop story progression the moment Trials unlock. Low-tier Trials feature higher enemy density and scale experience much faster than story zones.
- Target Level 70: Farm consecutive fast Trials until your Warrior reaches level 70. This unlocks max-level item crafting and high-tier ability synergies.
Skill Setup and Upgrades
Keep skill training slots running continuously in the background. Upgrade your primary damage abilities to at least rank 5 to 7 before investing in secondary passives.
- Primary Attacks: Use Frenzy or Cleave. Frenzy provides rapid attack speed to compensate for low early equipment stats.
- Active Skills: Run Charge, Whirlwind, and Shockwave. Charge closes gaps and stuns targets, Whirlwind groups enemy packs, and Shockwave clears the gathered mobs with heavy burst damage.
- Passives: Equip Power, Celerity, and Fleet Footed to maximize damage output and run speed.
Crafting Gear and Managing Milestone Rewards
Once you hit level 70, replace scavenged leveling gear with crafted set pieces and milestone items. ANB leagues award Ephemeral materials and jewelry that provide high baseline stats at reduced resource costs.
- Armor Sets: Craft four-piece or six-piece sets such as Warlord or Fury based on your unlocked recipes. The Warlord set directly enhances Whirlwind and Shockwave area-of-effect damage.
- Target Stat Rolls: Prioritize Critical Rating, Critical Damage, Power, and Haste on crafted and Ephemeral gear. Avoid investing heavily in defensive stats like Armor or Life on Hit early on.
- Weapons: Craft set swords or maces focused on offensive stats. Apply your milestone Celestial Transform to your main weapon to guarantee maximum stat rolls for the final push.
Trial Progression Roadmap
Keep each Trial run under two to three minutes. If a boss takes longer than that to defeat, drop down five trial levels to farm experience and gear materials more efficiently.
| Trial Range | Primary Milestone | Equipment Priority |
|---|---|---|
| TL 30–50 | Fast EXP farming and ability slot unlocks | Replace sub-70 leveling items with level 70 gear |
| TL 51–75 | League milestone crates and gems | Complete 4-piece set bonuses; socket basic gems |
| TL 76–90 | Ephemeral Jewelry and Celestial Transform | Apply Celestial Transform to weapon; socket Rubies |
| TL 91–100 | Final leaderboard milestone push | Maximize Critical Damage; refine boss mechanics |
Boss Tactics for Trial 100
At Trial 100, mob health pools and boss damage scale severely. Clear mob groups using Whirlwind to pull packs together followed by Shockwave. When the trial boss spawns, adjust your cooldown usage for survival:
- Save Movement Skills for Dodging: Bosses like Elban, Garm, and Magroth display red ground telegraphs before lethal attacks. Do not waste Charge offensively when a heavy boss cast is imminent; keep it available to escape danger areas immediately.
- Interrupt High-Lethality Channels: Hold your stun abilities to cancel critical boss channels, such as Elban’s Life Drain, rather than using them purely for damage.
- Attack During Recovery Windows: Avoid standing still while a boss executes an attack cycle. Deliver your Shockwave and Whirlwind burst combinations immediately after telegraphs conclude.

Good guide for Eternium players. The strategy part was useful.
This saved me time in the early game.
