What THE Fractal

Beginners Guide to Fractals

Hey everyone, it’s Mecka!

When I’m running fractals, I often meet players who’ve never completed them before or aren’t familiar with the basics. To help new folks get started, I’ve put together a simple page and a video that walk through everything you need to know.

If you’re new to fractals—or just want a quick refresher—this is a great place to begin. Hope it helps you feel more confident jumping in

Before You Start the Video – A Few Key Basics

Wizard’s Vault

(See post: Beginner’s Guide to the Wizard’s Vault)

You can earn ascended armour through Wizard’s Vault rewards.
You can also buy laurels, which can then be used to purchase ascended armour.
The Vault provides plenty of gold, making it a great support system for new players gearing up.

Agony Resistance (AR)

You gain Agony Resistance by slotting agony infusions into your armour and trinkets.
Only ascended gear can hold agony infusions.
Lower‑tier infusions can be combined to create higher‑tier infusions.
Higher fractal tiers require increasing amounts of AR, so upgrading your infusions is essential as you progress.

What to Do Next

If you’ve made it this far, you’re already well on your way to becoming comfortable with fractals. Here are a few simple next steps to help you put everything into practice:

Check Your Gear & AR
Make sure you’ve got your ascended pieces sorted and start slotting in agony infusions. Even a small amount of AR will let you dip your toes into the early tiers.
Try the First Few Fractals
Start with Tier 1. They’re designed for beginners and will help you learn the mechanics without too much pressure.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask
Everyone starts somewhere. If you’re unsure about a mechanic, a build, or your AR, just ask. Most players are happy to help — and I’m always around if you need guidance.
Keep Progressing at Your Own Pace
As you gain more AR and confidence, move up through the tiers. You’ll earn better rewards, more gold, and eventually be ready for challenge modes if you fancy them.
