Changes: New Game Plus

Revision as of 10:07, 13 October 2012

New Game Plus (NG+) is a game type in Torchlight II that allows players who have completed the main campaign to restart with the same character and face greater challenges. This replaces the retirement system in the original Torchlight.

To start New Game Plus, speak to an NPC named Felicia who appears in Minehead after you have finished the main quest.

When starting a New Game Plus, the character will retain existing items and skills, but:

Monsters start at level 51 or more, and gold and item drops also scale up accordingly.
All quests are reset and must be completed again.
Environments are re-rolled (randomized).
Multiplayer is restricted to players of the same level of New Game Plus, so no lower/higher players will join.
In NG+ the Mapworks remains accessible through waypoint portals in towns.

Tiers

There are several levels or tiers of New Game Plus:

New Game Plus (NG+) starts at level 51.
New Game Plus 2 (NG+2) starts at level 81.
New Game Plus 3 (NG+3) starts at level 100.
- Note that player characters reach the level cap at level 100, and itemization also maxes out at this level. Monster level will still continue to go up past 100, making the game more challenging.
New Game Plus 4 (NG+4) starts at level 121.
- Upon completing NG+4, you may restart the game again, but all future playthroughs will be still be considered NG+4, and the game will not scale higher.

Note that when you start a New Game Plus, the game will select the tier of NG+ that best matches your character's level. So if your character is level 81, you will be put into NG+2, even if you had never done NG+ before.
