This made going through the game much much easier. Look up vendor recipes and it will tell you how to convert any non-unique into a “tiered unique” which can also be upgraded tot the next tier with an additional arcane crystal. Using the reveal map hot key will make quick work of this. Farm uniques from bosses in normal, either Andy and Duriel (which drops 1 unique each) or meph and nihl (which drops 2 uniques each) and convert them to arcane crystals. Each tier increases the stats quite a bit.

Tiered uniques are unique items that can be upgraded from tier 1-4. One thing I wish I knew sooner was how strong tiered uniques were. As someone who is also brand new to the mod (Currently level 110), I struggled a lot trying to get through normal and nm.
