    Start from scratch, quite simply.

    Alternatively:

    Five years? That is very casual playing. You may want to start a new character. All the character builds were drastically changed with module 16 two years ago. Then they got another remake recently in February with module 20. I think the people at mmominds is having a hard time keeping up to date. Feats is no longer a separate tree but at the bottom of the powers as 5 toggles.

    Warlock perma-puppet still exists, but the puppet and companions don't deal the damage as they did before. You need some companions because they buff your character. You will need to get antiquated with mounts and decide, if you want to just buy them at mythic, or slowly upgrade them. A lot depends on your play style and where you focus you time within the game.

    At this point, if you have an extra character slot, I suggest you relearn the system from the beginning.

    Other than character slots, bank space, bags, packs (and few 'constant' items), whatever you invested 5 years ago are more or less worthless today. On the bright side, you also skipped investing a lot of other stuff that became worthless in this 5 years.

    Warlock still has high output and is fun to play. SW is my main, TR as 2nd. There are many new campaigns to get your toon through and many gear updates as well. It's 2xLegacy campaigns on right now so it's a great time to return. Sybella is up where Sgt. Knox used to be in PE, she offers legacy quests that give extra campaign currency.

    Firey bolt, hellfire ring, killing flames won't do you wrong in solo play although I use blades of v. armies instead of firey bolt.

    Ask questions as you go about character building. Pets, mounts, etc have added major changes since you've been in game!

    Above all, HAVE FUN!

    And, as you will discover yourself ...

    1) Enchant system is simplified but success is still random and Rank 4 Marks of Potency are rare

    2) Identity Scrolls and daily dungeon keys are gone. Some dungeons have two chests, the second requires a key made through the campaign interface (4th ribbon of journal). There are reroll tokens as well, and Dungeon Delver events where the loot tables are improved.

    3) World map was split into more regions, but the Sword Coast icons are still cluttered when certain quests are shown.

    4) Professions starts at level 20 and is in a building in PE SE corner. Level 80 tools are more powerful than MW IV tools. Masterworks will be revised soon, so get your foot in the door while you can.

    5) Dungeons and Skirmishes are all accessed through a queue system that requires a certain role mix (3 DPS, 1 Tanks, 1 Healer) and a lot more patience. All sub-70 skirmishes have been removed from the game.

    6) Experience from quests, invoking, enchants, dungeons, etc. raise your level faster than you can possibly complete the quests in a particular area. If you are in a rush to get to the end it is great, if you want to explore all of the game, you will end up doing so from a level much higher than originally intended.

    7) That Angel of Protection you saved Ardent coins for 360 days of invoking is now sold cheap in the Auction House

    8) Most dungeons will now spawn waves of adds if you do not kill a boss fast enough. Many of the mobs have no cooldowns on their powers and move quickly to gain combat advantage.

    so, have fun!

    Enhancement refine now has a limit. Mark of Potency rank 4 is not rare because you can just buy directly from AD store but AH usually has cheaper price if you don't have VIP. If you do have VIP, AD store is cheaper. Many have VIP buy it from AD store with VIP + AD store discount and then sell it in AH to earn the margin.

    A whole lot of water went under that bridge since you played. :trollface:

    It may help to know which campaign was on when you stopped?

    In 2016; The Maze Engine, Benign Order of the Third Eye, Storm King's Thunder

    In 2017; The Cloaked Ascendancy, Tomb of Annihilation, Lost City of Omu

    In 2018; Ravenloft, The Heart of Fire

    In 2019; Undermountain

    In 2020; Infernal Descent, Avernus

    Anything there ring a bell?

    Just killing time...
