Sigil Essence

Sigil Essence + Rune Recipe

Tier 2 uses its own compounding formula: Sigil Essence + Runes. Sigil Essence is a Tier 2 upgrade material, while Sigil roll skill is still an open source skill in the pool. The lowest rune starts at Vex, because Tier 2 is the endgame branch after players have invested in Tier 1.

The total to reach Lv20 is 222 Sigil Essence with high runes from Vex and above: Vex at the beginning, Ohm in the middle, Lo/Sur from Lv11, Ber/Jah at Lv16-Lv19 and Ber/Jah/Cham for the final level. This method keeps Tier 2 different from Tier 1 but is still more expensive, true to endgame quality.

INTRODUCING SKILL UPGRADE TIER 2 - SIGIL S25

Skill Upgrade Tier 2 Season 25 D2TM - exclusive Sigil pool for endgame

Skill Upgrade Tier 2 Season 25 is D2TM's own Sigil skill pool lookup page. Unlike Tier 1, which is equal to points in Group T, Tier 2 does not use Skill Upgrade points; Open skill at Lv1 and upgrade with Sigil Essence combined with runes at each milestone up to Lv20.

1. What skills does Pool Skill Upgrade Tier 2 include?

Pool Tier 2 currently only includes 5 skills: Elemental Spiral, Frostfall, Static Swarm, Magic Swirl and Lightning Grid. This is a separate list from Tier 1 Skill Upgrades by class to avoid duplication and easily balance the Season 25 meta.

2. Why does Tier 2 use Sigil instead of points?

Tier 2 is designed in a direction Sigil Skill Upgrade, apply skill roll mechanism in private pool then use Sigil Essence and Rune to level up. This helps Tier 2 act as an endgame expansion branch, without confusing the linear point table of Tier 1 and without creating the feeling that players have to upgrade multiple systems with the same type of points.

3. Tier 2 conditions and limitations

The character needs to have Skill Upgrade Tier 1 with the same system Lv10 before unlocking Tier 2. When unlocked, Tier 2 begins Lv1 and can lift max Lv20. Each character is only allowed to lift 1 Skill Upgrade Tier 2, so choosing Sigil needs to match the character's build direction, damage element, farming speed and PvE/PvP goals.

4. How are Tier 2, Sigil and Merc different?

Tier 2 Sigil is the branch for the main character. Merc Use Signet Skill Up exclusively on C2 weapons and do not use Tier 1 points. This page clearly separates 3 important keyword groups: Skill Upgrade Tier 2, Sigil Skill Upgrade and Merc Signet Skill Up.
