Oh hey, I just realized this is topic 2. From the end of the last one:
General consensus is that you should be doing all of your prep work so that when you get to 40, you can focus on artifacts. Or, some people say you should do that with 40 vs 45, because at 45 you almost always get a 5* drop from domains. But at 35, those artifacts you farm are probably not worth investing heavily into. Money is going to be an issue very soon -- I had a comfortable wad, and then I decided to improve some of the artifacts I had for the time being, and instantly my money was all gone. Did not finish spending my excess artifacts first.
So yeah, make sure you've got one eye downfield, regardless of what you do.
Since reaching 35 I've been working on mostly talents and a few weapons I know I'll be using for a while.... and I ran out of money.
