Well that was a hassle, haha. 

Installed TQ:IT and it gave an invalid CD key error.  With Steam.  lol.  So i had to fix it by modifying my Local files in REGEDIT with my purchased steam key.  That took some time, but at least that worked.

Fiddled around with the Defiler for a bit and finally... After almost giving up many times,  i have unlimited elite ready characters!  Thank you all!!!

I right now am slogging thru Normal for the umteenth time over the years. Since I'm in no hurry to zip thru the game to get another game to zip through......
That for you young people. The only cheat I used the defiler for was constant daylight. My eyes are not as good as they use to be.
I do miss the old joystick. I still have and 8 button one stored.
Everybody has their own way of playing for their enjoyment. Mine is to just piddle along.

I feel ya. At 36 i feel like an old man too.  I wouldn't be doing this if i didn't play already hundreds of hours 10 years ago. Elite/Ultimate is where the big loots start to awe.  And that's at least 80 hours of game time alone. Leveling only 2 builds to Ultimate mode is hundreds and hundreds of game hours.  I just don't have that time, or patience.

Thanks again all!

Hello all! Currently i'm playing the game with a friend.. We've played through normal and beat it, but would like to try other builds but skip through normal.

I know in Grim Dawn you can download a blank level 60 or 75 and jump to the tough stuff (elite/ultimate).  Is there a way to do that in Titan quest?  I can't find a downloadable save game anywhere.  We don't want to tread through normal again and we want to jump to the exciting loots and more challenging content.  The game is huge!

Is it possible and if so, how?
