Some are fun to mess around with. A couple of items are used in some builds.

No

[desert quest]

Only 1

[night zinc]

i really cannot understand the point of doing dungeons to "skip" campaign chapters when it doesn't complete the talent point and idol quests and doesn't unlock waypoints like what is the point of even bothering with dungeons and not doing the campaign normally
Am i missing something?

[gentle drum]

When you die as hardcore do you go to the same stash/league as soft core toons or is it on its own as solo?

[minor vigil]

yes, it's one of the options you can roll

[candid elm]

There's more quests that give Passive Points than you need to cap. Same with Idols. You can do them later.

I usually just go through the campaign until I get the Lance, that gives you 15/15 Passives and 8/8 Idols. But you don't have to do that.

[lunar holly]

you go to softcore, but your character is tagged as "ghost" and is excluded from ladder

[outer sage]

I made a hardcore character, but what happens when it dies? It says it moves itself to a softcore character. But what is the difference between that and just making a softcore character from the start?

Are there any benefits of playing a hardcore character

[wind vessel]

do you get gaze of orobyss only when defeating the boss of 800 stability?

[steady kayak]

bragging rights

[dense root]

bragging rights mostly

like you don't get bonus drops or something

it's the same experience but if you die you lose your hardcore status

[minor vigil]

yes

[outer sage]

Aw okay thanks! but if my hardcore character dies will there be a leaderboard for myself? So i can see how far I came last time?

Or it just becomes a softcore character

and thats it

[wind vessel]

is best to acumulate some and then reset the web?

[pulsar copper]

does anybody know how dreadshade works

[dense root]

the corruption bonus doesn't scale linearly

you get less corruption for the 3rd gaze on

[candid elm]

As far as getting to Majasa, I just do it much later. If you do T1 Temporal Sanctum, it will exit you into Chapter 9. So you can still go get the +1 all stats.

There's something like 20 quests that give Passive Points and you cap at 15. Similar with Idols as well.

[carmine glade]

if I have a guaranteed critical strike and stack more chance to critically strike, is that wasted or does it give me any benefits?

[viscid nova]

Anyone know what time the update is coming today?

[candid elm]

If you have guaranteed, you'd be better off with crit multiplier

[carmine glade]

ok so no more benefit? I'm wondering if I want to spend a point on the guaranteed crit node because I must take another one that adds crit chance per attack speed point

if that's the case, I'm skipping the guaranteed crit, it's 6 points.

[hollow pagoda]

does hiding the normal items also hide keys? if not then I'm just unlucky

[desert quest]

definitely doesn't

[hollow frigate]

anyone else still lagging?

[latent lion]

anyone have the issue with temporal sanctum lag? like if i change eras at julra it changes me back...

[sly brook]

is serpent's milk still good after the poison limit changes?

[heavy crag]

weird wording, 'no friends online' sounds less insulting

[lean mist]

Can Armour shred reduce armour below zero?

[dense root]

yes

[candid elm]

There's a difference between "+2% crit" and "+20% increased crit".

Most skills are 5% base. The first gives a flat increase, for example 5 + 2 to 7%. The second gives a % increase, for example 5 * +20% to 6%. If you had both, they would combine to 8.4% crit chance.

The base crit multiplier is 200%. So increasing the crit multi increases the crit damage.

If you've got a guaranteed crit, then increasing crit chance wouldn't help, but the crit multi would. But that guaranteed crit is probably not all the time, right? So the crit chance increases would help the rest of the time.

That was a really long winded way to say you want both.

[heavy crag]

what happens if i try to use despair on affix that is not yet on an item?

[carmine glade]

I'm talking about the last spell in Forge Guard. It's a channelled spell that hits hard after 2 seconds. The top left node grants guaranteed crit when fully charged, which is super convenient, but the right side node before 60% damage to bosses converts attack speed bonuses into "increased crit chance" at 1:1 ratio. The point is this right side bonus won't be huge but still overlaps with the guaranteed crit path that requires 5-6 points.

[split basin]

HMM

[lone sleet]

If I'm trying to farm this spear in reign of dragons, is it better to do it empowered, or not really a big difference?

[fast valley]

so I died in hc and went to "hc solo" what does that mean?

[dense root]

always farm empowered

[dense root]

it's a bug

[steady kayak]

I'm also trying to farm that... did like 100? or so echoes in regular before someone said go to empowered, I'm 1 mono away now

[ripe tiger]

wats meta for lich atm?

[candid elm]

The corruption in Empowered also gives more loot, so always farm there if you can. That item is a global drop, so the bit about farming in Reign of Dragons is that timeline can have echo rewards that give a Unique or Set Spear - extra chances to get it.

[shell hound]

where can you farm Arrowguard at? only says the Timeline but not where it drops ?

[sage iris]

so im 15/15 and 8/8 in the quests, can i just skip the rest of the sidequests?

[latent lion]

if you do the timeline in empowered, there are nodes that guarantee a unique bow/quiver at the end

thats how you're supposed to target farm uniques in this game

[shell hound]

thanks mate, literally just unlocked empowered monoliths (first playthrough of LE)

[desert quest]

I had this bug happen way too many times when I was playing with a friend and had 180 ping.

[candid elm]

It's a global drop. The part about doing Fall of the Outcasts is that it can have echo rewards with Unique or Set Quiver - so extra chances at it. Do Empowered - corruption is more loot, again more chance at it.

[tall horizon]

How does the Swarmblade Form node "Soaring Scourge" work? It says it scales off minion dmg instead, does that mean it doesn't convert? So nodes like Plague of Locusts near it doesn't do anything?

[shell hound]

cheers!

[candid elm]

Yes, if you want to. They'll still give XP and Gold.

[sage iris]

but no important rewards right?

[errant eagle]

someone here maybe playing shuriken/chakram build or its too nerfed?

[candid elm]

No, the only other thing is +1 all attributes from Majasa, but you can always do that later.

[dense crater]

Guys is Salt the wound a good drop (it says on the wiki it's very rare)? And with which build is it used?

[sage shale]

whats the fastest level to level up skills? I just reseted everything and im level 4

[willow vale]

Any of you guys experienced this one?

[candid elm]

It allows you to use crit multi with bleed or poison builds - usually crit multi does nothing for DoTs as they can't crit. If you gear for it, it's a good damage increase. And yes it's very rare.

[faint cape]

The things in the spec tree that apply to swarm strike or locust swarm all still apply.

[willow vale]

Nvm its steam that's not working properly xdd

[dense crater]

great tyy 🙂

[tall horizon]

Ok cool thanks!

[candid elm]

Just keep playing. The skills gain increased XP up to the level listed on them. If I reset in monoliths, I just go do some more echoes.

You can always go to a lower level area, if necessary.

[sage iris]

does minion damage include minion dot damage?

[desert quest]

Minion damage affects minion DoT too

[sage iris]

what affectrs the exp skills receive? do i have to use the skill or equip it on skillbar at all?

[candid elm]

Needs to be specialized

[sage iris]

thats it?

[candid elm]

Yes. It does not need to be on your bar

[sage iris]

i see i see

[bright ice]

do "recolor" filters also act as "show" filters?

[desert quest]

Yes

[bright ice]

ty

[sage iris]

where would i find smite idols? the smite on throwing skills ones. is there any way to target them?

[lyric dome]

How do mirages work? Do they mirror your damage and skills?

[candid elm]

Not really. There are different blessings that increase different types of idol drops

[nova notch]

I completed last three 90lvl monos but i didnt unlock the 100lvl empowered monoliths

Anything i need to press?

[desert quest]

Did you go to the conjunction area?

Between level 90 monos

[unreal wraith]

why cant i put level to smite on this item?

[nova notch]

yee i just went there

[desert quest]

Click on the blue thingy in the middle?

[nova notch]

Ye ye all good now

[candid elm]

Class skills go on Helmets and Body Armor. I don't think they can go on Relics?

[dense root]

they can go on relics

smite is for relics

[desert quest]

There are some on relics, not sure if smite is one

Do you have shards?

[unreal wraith]

smite is on relics

yes i do

[dense root]

show us the forging screen

[candid elm]

No idea why it's not working then

[dense root]

like put the item in and try to add smite and screenshot what happens

[carmine saffron]

probly need to be a sentinel relic ?

[dense root]

no it can be any relic

[candid elm]

They've got an open prefix on the item as well

[sage iris]

any way to uauto pickup crafting mats?

[dense root]

no

[candid elm]

No

[sage iris]

damn, that seems kinda dumb

[candid elm]

But 1 click vacuums up all of them nearby

[violet terrace]

Someone in global chat was saying there is a skip for the main questline if your quest bugs. My Heorot's Last Blessing bugged out and I need to skip it.. where is it?

[dense root]

what happens if you delete the word level

can you find the smite shard manually

it might just be an issue witht he search filter

[unreal wraith]

no its not there

maybe its really that its not a sentinel relic

that would suck :D

[candid elm]

You can just go to End of Time and start doing monoliths and level up.

The dungeons spit you out in various areas. Get a Temporal Sanctum key, right click it, do T1 Temporal Sanctum and it will exit you into Act 9.

[dense root]

i'm like 99% sure it doesn't have to be a sentinel relic

[desert quest]

Let me login and test it too if I have a shard

[candid elm]

Do you have a sentinel relic you can stick in there to test?

[violet terrace]

gotcha ty

[digital nest]

What is Spriggan form good at? Can it tank? Can it summon tanks? I've done really well with Werebear but Spriggan seems so different

[unreal wraith]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[urban summit]

i think it's more of a support thing

[sage iris]

are blue items worth picking up?

[urban summit]

spriggan wand gives increased healing

[candid elm]

Interesting

[urban summit]

i got like 2-3 uniques that are for spriggan form

[desert quest]

They could be in rather uncommon cases. Also early on in the end game

[slim ravine]

If you get the right mod to shatter

[candid elm]

Early game, sure. If they've got a mod you want to shatter/remove later

[dense crater]

damn, salt the wounds and aurora's time glass in 20 minutes 🙈

[urban summit]

i really recommend getting the +1 to level of skill in your filters

those shards are giga rare

[digital nest]

Same, but I've never used it and not sure what it's good at.

[faint cape]

A number of things. Vines, totems, thorncaster, bleed bees, or that one stupid reflect build

[digital nest]

Cause like right now my werebear form is ridiculously strong, so pivoting to Spriggan would mean I'd lose all my skills lol. but I do have unique boots and amulet for it

[tranquil silo]

best way to farm lp apathy? is it better to just run them as soon as i can or just keep pushing corruption until i can't

[sage iris]

what is status damage affected by?

[tranquil silo]

my damage is starting to get real bad so would like to get crit apathy asap or it might just be better to not use the axe and just make my own sword with crit

[dense root]

i would not count on getting a legendary apathy with any specific affixes

it will drop more often with higher corruption though i'm pretty sure

[faint cape]

Yeah, if your build requires a legendary you don't already own, don't.

[tranquil silo]

damn im only at corruption 180 and my damage is starting to get real bad

[desert quest]

clarify status damage please

[digital nest]

I think they're only affected by penetrations and Increased X over time effects?

[tranquil silo]

is there a way to import online characters into the planner? i'm lost on what to upgrade to progress since im new

[digital nest]

Ie +Fire damage doesn't help burn damage iirc

but pen and damage over time increases do

[sage iris]

specifically bleed, but i just mean in general. is it just affected by modifiers and not by stuff like, base physical damage

[candid elm]

You can be specced into Spriggan and still use Were Bear. Like the Cold Dot Were Bear build

[dense root]

there is probably some other cause of this tbh

[digital nest]

I see this mentioned everywhere tbh.

[tranquil silo]

oh yeah im sure

[digital nest]

but it seems like I'd need to change my gear and skills

because atm it's fury leap, werebear, warcry, swipe running all +attack speed and +physical damage

and the spriggan seems like a caster or summoner or something?

[tranquil silo]

i've tried following the maxroll guide and i've got most of the stuff it recommends like void shred blessing/armour shred and other stuff so not sure what it would be besides not being able to go crit

[dense root]

i know nothing about the maxroll guide sorry

i'm just completely missing the context necessary for this

[cerulean bridge]

hey sorry for the noob question.. what do the blue circles filling up around my blessings mean?

[dense root]

how well rolled they are

the more blue the higher in the roll range you are

[cerulean bridge]

ahh ok cool ty

[desert quest]

DoTs have their own base damage and normal flat damages to skills don't affect that. Damage modifiers affect them if fits, like inc phys damage affects bleed, in dot damage too.

[candid elm]

It's used in the Cold Dot Werebear build just as passive buffs and extra Rage generation from Entangling Vines

[night root]

Is there cast speed scaling while in swarm blade form? I see a talent for it but none of the abilities have the spell tag.

[candid elm]

The range on the blessing value

[digital nest]

Yea but I keep getting uniques for it so I was considering going full spriggan, maybe.

[cerulean bridge]

nice, thanks 🙂

[faint cape]

Locust Master gives you a spell

[maiden thistle]

Does anyone have any historical insight/inside info as to when the first hotfix comes out?

[candid elm]

When you get into Empowered, those Blessings are also all higher ranges.

[whole herald]

how does gifting work is it tied to whos in the game when the item drops? sorta like diablo 3?

[sage iris]

is it better to vary your increased x damage stuff? like is 30% physical damage + 30% area damage or something, stronger than say 60% physical damage?

[maiden thistle]

Nope, they're all the same.

[desert quest]

They get combined together unless specified otherwise

[sage iris]

oh, so its additive, not multiplicative?

[maiden thistle]

30%phys + 30%area = 160% damage.

[sage shale]

does these game have some kind of edit app to try out builds on endgame without leveling?

[desert quest]

Nope

[sage shale]

oki

[candid elm]

Yes. They're talking about adding "Resonance" later, which will let you give items to players who were offline/ not in party when the item dropped, but you've built up Resonance with by playing together previously.

[desert quest]

Unless it says so, yes

[whole herald]

thank you

[dense root]

all source of increased % damage are additive with each other

[tranquil silo]

was that for me or the picture above? i don't mind setting up all the stuff manually if you could give a quick look. playing warpath

[dapper charm]

cant press start game button is there any way to play this game or i need to wait for fix ?

[candid elm]

They were referring to a different message, not yours.

The lastepochtools.com build planner has an offline character import. It's on the left side. I don't think there's a way to import online characters?

If you want to use it, just set your class. Then Assign at least 20 passive skills in the base class. Then you can put points into the Mastery.

[hasty raft]

Are Skeleton Vanguards in General limited to 3? I have the Bone Curse and can summon 3 via the curse and additionally in the necromancer tree there is node that allows me to summon Vanguards too, but only 3 of them. But the hard limit of 3 stays?

[rustic barn]

Does the monoliths progress share between characters 🤔 ?

[austere hound]

No its per character

[candid elm]

Just share the stash in that game mode

[faint cape]

Yep, no way to increase the cap (yet?)

[languid flume]

So anyone else encountered the problem of the boss door not opening in lightless arbor?

[desert quest]

That is the 11th time I heard it today 😅

[austere hound]

Heard about bugged dungeons pretty often

There will be a bugfix patch soon

[languid flume]

Well i am glad it isn't only me but sad for people encountering the problem too :\

[faint cape]

If you are in party and some people make it through, you can portal to them

[light arch]

What point do the echos get challenging? I know it's still early, only have completed 8, but they seem kinda easy right now. Have not copied builds, just been running a bear.locust swarm build I've made up on my own

[desert quest]

When you empower them all and start building up corruption

[random totem]

I have a question about Legendary Potential, is it possible to increase the chance to find a unique with LP also in the item database you can see that sentence, does it mean the higher the item lvl of the base the fewer the chance for LP ?

[candid elm]

The Corruption in Empowered gives the enemies increased life and damage. And you get more loot!

[lean mist]

hello, i completed the last three monoliths but nothing happens when i go to the central area to unlock empowered monoliths. Does anyone else have this problem?

[desert quest]

LP level is separate than item level

[random totem]

but what does it mean ?

higher level means less chance, higher lvl of what

[desert quest]

That is the LP level

Right above

"Effective level for LP"

[random totem]

LP have level ? i dont get it like to find a item with LP 4 you have to find it at a certain level ?

[hasty tartan]

Is it normal that I have to farm zones if I want to stay above zone level starting in about chapter 6?

[candid elm]

Try logging out and back in. If you're offline with a new character there's apparently a bug. Hopefully fixed soon.

[desert quest]

Items have something called "Effective level for legendary potential" to determine how hard it is to get LP on that item. This is completely separate from item level etc.

[lean mist]

I'm offline with a character that was created before 0.9

[random totem]

ohhh i see, so whats the range? 100 ?

[desert quest]

I think highest is 115

[rocky prism]

which one to use for rogue multishot ?

[lunar matrix]

Does bastion of honor give 100% block chance or is it still technically 85% because of block cap or is there no cap?

[faint cape]

Yeah, you shouldn't be staying above the zone level.

[rocky prism]

is 26% increased armor worth it at all?

[austere hound]

It gives 100% within 4 metres

[candid elm]

You don't need to be above zone level. If you're within 10 levels of the area level, you earn XP as normal.

More than 10 and it's your level + 10. Example, 75 in a 90 area you earn XP as if in an 85 area. Which is still fine and you don't have any issues leveling up.

[lunar matrix]

Ty

[hasty tartan]

Alright, thanks - and it won't generally cause issues?

Difficulty wise

Right now I'm 38 in a 39 area and things are fine

[dense root]

sorry got pulled away by stuff. trying to do work with my left hand, play with my right, and answer questions in between stuff and i have to say it's not the smartest decision i've made

[candid elm]

If you're an experienced ARPG player, you will find the campaign easy. With few bosses that have attacks you need to not stand in.

[dense root]

anyway yeah i was saying i don't know the details of the maxroll build

[hasty tartan]

Thanks. I'm experienced with PoE, so I know how to dodge a telegraphed attack

[dense root]

for warpath you want flat damage and flat crit on your weapon, crit multi wherever you can get it, and then increased crit/damage if i remember correctly. but it's been a long time so if someone who has played warpath more recently than i have (any time since 8.5) has strong opinions i'd defer to them

[candid elm]

This game they've done an even better job with like circles, cones, lines, etc showing the really big attacks. Not all abilities have them yet though or maybe don't by design

[faint cape]

You are generally expected to reach level 100 (the max) by the low 80s, for reference

[desert quest]

I d kind of ignore crit until crit LP apathy. But that is me

[hasty tartan]

Ah okay, in PoE the max area level is 85 for uber bosses

[faint cape]

Meaning the monsters are at 100 and you are ~82

[hasty tartan]

And you're generally mid to high 90s if you're doing ubers

[rocky prism]

is the 26% increased armour worth it or should i go for rerollign that?

[finite salmon]

hey guys, whats the best way to farm Fulgurite Shard. im 91 been farming unique nodes and runes to transfer to them but no luck

[serene marsh]

Do ground DoT (e.g. Fissure from Smite) stack? Or can a mob only take damage from one at a time?

[dense root]

unique sword and dagger nodes in empowered reign of dragons

[finite salmon]

ah k ty 🙂

[faint cape]

Ground DOTs usually stack unless stated otherwise

[serene marsh]

Thank you!

[candid elm]

Says it's a global drop. So Empowered for extra chances. And can do Reign of Dragons for the echo rewards Unique or Set Dagger for extra chances.

[faint tusk]

What are the blue bars that fill up around blessings?

[dense root]

the blessing's roll

[candid elm]

They don't fill. It just is a visual of the value you got on the roll range

[dense root]

more blue means it's a higher roll within the range

[faint tusk]

oooo

[digital nest]

Is this not a problem? It seems terrifying lol

[candid elm]

You can do Empowered for higher ranges and also do bosses again for a possibly higher roll

[faint tusk]

Yeah, we're clearing out the 90 timelines now to get to empowered. Just wasn't sure what the bars were. I thought they were some sort of EXP system but there was no information in any of the FAQS on it. Which makes sense if it's just the roll

[blazing charm]

Are there any capstone challenge goal type things (e.g. uber sirus for PoE)? I'm at a point where I could keep improving my character, but I usually want to work towards a set goal, I'm not really motivated by just "corruption go up" or "arena level go up".

(Current status is that I've cleared a couple of the empowered timelines, but clearing out the rest of them feels more like a chore than a challenge at this point)

[candid elm]

That's kind of it. Do really high corruption bosses. Do T4 dungeons. Do really high arena.

[hasty tartan]

Maybe try clearing them on masochist mode?

[dense root]

masochist mode is not in this patch

[hasty tartan]

Oh they removed it?

[dense root]

i think it's coming back

they rebuilt a lot of stuff from the ground up for this patch and not everything is back in yet

[dense root]

not really? like you can do t4 dungeon bosses but aside from that your options are making numbers go up or farming rare items

the hardest bosses right now will just be regular monolith bosses/shade of orobyss at high corruption with strong modifiers

[blazing charm]

OK, cool, thanks. I hope we get something like that by the time cycles come out, having a clear difficult goal was always a great part of PoE leagues for me.

[dense root]

like 1000 corruption shade or something is the closest you'll get to uber sirus

idk the exact details but there's definitely some amount more endgame stuff coming

more dungeons at the very least

[thorn ermine]

is it true armor is meaningless once you have 100% block chance? Because all incoming damage would be reduced by block effectiveness only?

[dense root]

that doesn't sound right to me

[thorn ermine]

you can get 100% through that shield that gives block chance per endurance over cap

[dense root]

there is no block cap

[thorn ermine]

not to mention sigils of hope

[thorn ermine]

I think it's correct, because if everything is blocked, how can anything get through to armor?

[candid elm]

I thought it was 85% ? edit: block effectiveness is 85%

[dense root]

no

[dense root]

what?

[thorn ermine]

huh?

[dense root]

block is just a form of damage reduction

it doesn't stop other forms of damage reduction

[candid elm]

Is this incorrect? https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/block

Edit: it's referring to block effectiveness 85% cap, not block.

[thorn ermine]

I thought if something isn't blocked, it goes to armor, but if it's blocked it goes to block effectiveness. I didn't know you could block something, damage reduce it, then damage reduce it again from armor.

[candid elm]

Oh

[dense root]

block effectiveness is capped at 85

[candid elm]

It's referring to

Yeah that

[dense root]

the soft cap for block effectiveness is way before 85%

[safe elbow]

are all mono blessings available on standard or are some locked to only empowered runs?

[thorn ermine]

I'll ask Mike I guess.

[dense root]

empowered just has higher rolls

[dense root]

99% sure this is something you just made up

[carmine glade]

i just started a beastmaster and found out that it focuses on having LESS pets, rather than MORE. Quite a letdown for me 😦

[thorn ermine]

dude, you need to relax, lol. I'm just inquiring.

"made this up." - Stretching big time.

[serene marsh]

You can build it either way. Menagerie is definitely an option

[carmine ledge]

Hi, is there adventure mode like in D3? when i want new char?

[serene marsh]

Just don't take the less pet node

[candid elm]

No, that does not currently exist

[carmine glade]

menawhat? Is that an item?

[candid elm]

You can skip parts of the campaign, though, if you want to

[serene marsh]

Menagerie just means zoo, I meant you can build for a lot of pets

There is even a mid-game node that lets you get +1 pet

[latent lion]

you can get like 10 companions

[acoustic thicket]

would this be a waste of an exalted belt if i used it for legendary

for a belt with only 1 potential

[thorn ermine]

ok Mike confirmed. Good to know dmg is reduced twice.

[rocky prism]

if i re-do the boss on a timeline i get to unlock more echo blessings?

[candid elm]

It's up to you. You'd randomly get 1 of those 4 mods with a LP1 unique.

[acoustic thicket]

ik

[dense root]

the vast majority of uniques have either 0 or 1 potential. i don't necessarily think the scavenger is a particularly strong base but you can easily imagine 1 lp belts where it's right to try and get a good exalted affix on them

[acoustic thicket]

thats why im asking if i should wait till maybe a lp2

scavenger is to help me rush through echoes

[carmine glade]

that requires a unique item, and it's squirrels so not really cool

[dense root]

you can have one blessing from each timeline. killing the boss again will let you pick from a new set of blessings or keep your existing blessing

[candid elm]

No, you'd get another selection of blessings to pick from. You can replace the current blessing from that boss if you want

[acoustic thicket]

i remember an item like it in poe

[serene marsh]

@carmine glade You can still build e.g. 3 wolves + Lynx + Bear as a beastmaster

[latent lion]

squirrels are adorable

[dense root]

all i'll say is poe is a very different game

[faint tusk]

What is the 'same type' referencing for legendary potential? Is it like, 2-hand, 1-hand ect. or is it like staff, mace ect?

[rocky prism]

this blessing says level 100 but its on black sun timeline which if 66 lvl. dont i get it to roll to pick it when i do the boss ?

[dense root]

2h axe goes with 2h axe, 1h sword goes with 1h sword, helmet goes with helmet, etc.

[autumn plover]

is the tree boss in campaign before lagon?

[desert quest]

Empowered monos are all 100

You get the normal version instead of Grand

[faint tusk]

okay, so it has to be the same the same. Like the rune of ascendancy rolling uniques

[dense root]

yup

[azure sinew]

Do we have to claim the backpack? or do we just get it automatically?

[dense root]

you claim it on their website

[rocky prism]

so i still get the chance to pick this same version like void resistance at lvl 66 right

[dense root]

https://portal.lastepoch.com/claim-backpack

[desert quest]

Yes but normal version. So worse one

[acoustic thicket]

@dense root do you think that exalted belt i have is good

[dense root]

probably not? i don't particularly like either prefix

[acoustic thicket]

whats ur preference

im a mage

[rocky prism]

do u get anything from completing the timeline and doing the last thing to reset it or just reset skill tre

[elder oyster]

quick question, ssf/trade guilds already implemented?

[tidal nimbus]

Question, is there any unique there is generaly good for everyone? Head hunter, tabula, mageblood, something like that?

[sinful laurel]

No

[sinful laurel]

Several, especially for leveling

[tidal nimbus]

example?

[sinful laurel]

Woven flesh

[dense root]

there's nothing like headhunter or mageblood

there are good leveling items though

[latent lion]

arboreal circuit

18% ms per ring(for leveling)

[dense root]

depends a lot on context

i really like sealing cleanse on potion use though

i also think any health character wants hybrid health on their belt

[sage iris]

do i have to finish the campaign?

[dense root]

prefixes are mostly there for damage on the belt

[dense root]

there's a small reward for doing so but no one will make you

[sage iris]

whats the reward?

[dense root]

+1 all attributes

[tranquil silo]

oh all good. i figured out some of the problems. lost my t6 shred when i swapped to apathy end and i didn't have any other source

so just gotta get that back. at 50% chance now and its a lot better

[dense root]

you probably want one source of shred yeah

[acoustic thicket]

this is my favorite ring rn

[sage iris]

with filters, i understand how to put stuff i DO want on there, are there any general guidelines for things i should put on there that i DONT want?

[rocky prism]

is it always adviced to farm higher tier timelines?

[acoustic thicket]

just hide all magic, all rare, show all exalted, and show the stuff you do want honestly

[chrome blade]

What do y’all think is the best of the traversal spells?

[acoustic thicket]

if you also want to farm for an alt make sure to add its gear to what you show

[acoustic thicket]

as long as you're not dying in them, yes

[candid elm]

For leveling, there are uniques with move speed on them that you can equip early, stuff like:
The Falcon, Arboreal Circuit, Mourningfrost, etc.
Good for leveling Alts.

[sage iris]

oh, are rares generally not worth picking up at all?

[dense root]

rares are worth picking up for a bit

they eventually stop being worth picking up

mostly it's not very hard to get 4xt5 on decent/good bases in all slots

and then after that no rare will be a meaningful upgrade to your gear

you might still pick some up to shatter if you really need a rare affix shard you don't have

but aside from that your only upgrades left will be exalted/unique/legendary items

[crude flame]

Is there a list of 'rare' uniques or set items like S+ tier or A tier etc so I can see if anything I have is 'rare' drop?

[acoustic thicket]

lastepochtools lists all uniques in the game and their rarity + where to drop

[minor vigil]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/uniques sort by rarity

[dense root]

the main chase uniques are like

bastion, omnis, orian's eye, ravenous void

[crude flame]

Whats uh.. reroll chance rarity? 98% means its common af?

[dense root]

but yeah you can just sort by rarity

[crude flame]

so 0% would be gigarare or

oh no its the reverse

[dense root]

opposite yes

[candid elm]

It goes top down, so put what you want to see on the top. Hide on the bottom.

If, for example, you have a "show X affix" on top and then a "hide all normal/magic/rare" at the bottom, you'll still see items that have that affix.

You can hide bases you don't care about, for example.

[dense root]

oh red ring is also uber rare apparently

it's new so i didn't know that

makes sense though

[shrewd oxide]

Okay guys, quick question. Does flat Melee damage on the base adding damage to throwing hammers, or only added throwing damage counts?

[dense root]

the item is nuts

[sage iris]

yeah, i understand the mechanics of how it works, but like, what do people generally put as hide all

[crude flame]

Me looking at the list and not seeing anything in the 80% list

[acoustic thicket]

wings of argentus too?

[dense root]

think wings is a tier down from the ones i listed probably

it's just a lot more build specific

[candid elm]

If you're new to it, I'd recommend looking at some filters first or watching some videos.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-ready-for-mp-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3/25176

[sage iris]

ok! thanks

[minor vigil]

wings is really easy to target farm

[dense root]

hm should i farm red ring after i get my ravenous void ...

so much damage reduction

[lusty sonnet]

is this town portal unreachable or am I missing something?

[ocean onyx]

I just finished the last regular monolith, but I cant find any option to empower monoliths. Where is that normally?

[sage iris]

what level does the campaign end?

[crude flame]

Like.. 56-58 with all side quests usually?

You can just go straight into monos from 25-30 or so but the mobs may be too hard

[split basin]

any Druid Totem build viable in 0.9 ?

[shrewd oxide]

Okay guys, quick question. Does flat Melee damage on the base adding damage to throwing hammers, or only added throwing damage counts? x2

[candid elm]

In general, you see show all unique, set, exalted at the top. Then in the middle the shows/recolors for the affixes that are important to you. Then hide normal/magic/rare at the bottom.

You can adjust the strictness of this, though, to suit your needs.

[candid elm]

Normally you go back to the area right before the 3x 90s and interact with the thing in the middle.

[marsh radish]

guys if you are using dual weapons does Forge weapons get bonuses from both?

[sinful laurel]

Afaik yes

[bitter delta]

Alright, I got my monolith farmer but what's next for a boss farmer? What's a build that can handle high corruption Jurlas?

[dense root]

julra doesn't have corruption

dungeons are their own thing

[candid elm]

Just up to T4 currently for dungeons

[dense root]

also tbh you don't need much to kill t4 julra

like it's helpful to be able to tank the cold seekers

but aside from that all of julra's attacks are telegraphed and not homing

so any amount of damage will get you there eventually

[acoustic thicket]

what, i can facetank any 250 ish corruption timeline boss with ease but t4 julra melts me

[dense root]

you're not supposed to facetank bosses

you're supposed to dodge

[sage shale]

whats better on necro fire or ice?

[dense root]

that's why all of their attacks have massive and colorful indicators on the ground that tell you where they'll hit

[acoustic thicket]

ok by melts me i mean her degen on the ground ticked for half my ehp when it dropped

i'm not trying to facetank t4 julra

[split basin]

Vines Spriggan Totem still viable ?

[dense root]

you can prevent the ground degen from spawning if you time your era shift correctly

it spawns when she chases after you but there's a delay if you shift right before the big aoe happens

so you can shift to avoid the aoe, wait a beat, then shift back before she chases you

[acoustic thicket]

ohhh i see

that might help

the only thing i had an issue with was the degen so i'll try that, thanks

[bitter delta]

If I rerun a monolith, will I still get the same rewards from the crystal or is it only once per? Like for the unique/set monoliths.

[acoustic thicket]

you can only get rewards once unless you run a vessel of memory found somewhere in the timeline

[bitter delta]

Is there a way to increase the levels of the monoliths I'm running currently instead of moving to the next one or no?

[candid elm]

They're all level 100 once you go to Empowered

[bitter delta]

AH.

[crimson drift]

@candid elm yo thx again for finding that build for me, that build is amazing

[sage iris]

are the right 3 resistances important?

like poison necrotic void

[crimson drift]

yes

[sage iris]

so i wanna try and get 75% across the board minus phys?

[candid elm]

Poison is less common

[dense root]

arguably the most important ones

[candid elm]

You want physical too. If you don't get 75 on all, it's not the end of the world though

[dense root]

you don't have to cap anything right away though

[sage iris]

but the goal is to cap across the board?

[dense root]

like if you have 40-60 res or whatever you won't suddenly die horribly

[sage shale]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/KBakd51A is these build viable?

[dense root]

in the long term it would be nice to have everything at 75 yeah

[candid elm]

It's nice, but it's not as big of a deal in this game compared to PoE where it's mandatory

[sage iris]

is each marginal % increase to resistances become stronger than the last?

[candid elm]

I don't remember but I'm glad you're having a good time : )

[crimson drift]

the druid fire one

[dense root]

enemies penetrate 75% resistance by default in endgame zones

so 70% res means you take 5% more damage than if you had 75% res

which isn't that big

[sage iris]

oh

[candid elm]

Enemies have +1% resistance penetration for each area level, up to 75. So if you've got 70, they're doing 5% more damage.

[sage iris]

so its not like poe where 85% vs 75% is like half damage

[dense root]

right

[candid elm]

Yeah resistances are all out of whack in PoE

[dense root]

tbf the way resistances work in poe is the most intuitive way to implement them

"number starts at 0 and goes up"

i like this system more but it's not like poe is doing something weird

[sage iris]

yeah but it makes gearing a nightmare

[carmine glade]

wait is that right? that would work for me, I'm aiming at 3 pets. Technically speaking, I want bear, crow, and warthog (doing something close to a Rexxar build). I guess I can replace the wolf for the warthog, or maybe a raptor, idk if any pets are ranged other than crows

[crimson drift]

not really, blessings help a lot

[sage iris]

oh no i meant poe's system

[crimson drift]

aa yeah

[sage iris]

what causes rarity to upgrade when you craft?

[candid elm]

I do wish LE had the PoE Harvest Craft of swapping X Resistance for Y Resistance. Like Fire to Cold.

[candid elm]

1-2 mods is magic. 3-4 is rare.

[crimson drift]

is there a way to check if i got all passives like in poe? or i need to see manually all the completed quests?

[candid elm]

Like if you see a blue item, 1-2 mods. Yellow item, 3-4 mods.

[candid elm]

Press M. Lower left corner.

[crimson drift]

oh nice, never notice that ty

[candid elm]

There's more quests available than you need to cap

Like 20 passive quests and 15 to cap

[crimson drift]

thats nice

[candid elm]

Similar for Idols

[acoustic thicket]

how to repair error le-52?

[west lark]

I finished this quest after finished lightless arbor and i got ... nothing? No skill point

Or game have limit of skill points by qeuests?

[crimson drift]

probabbly you already have all passives from quests

just like sweet sad 😛

[candid elm]

Yeah, there's more quests available than you need to cap

It's something like 20 passive quests and 15 to cap

[carmine glade]

is there a list of options to increase the amount of companions without items for a beastmaster?

[candid elm]

Idols is maybe 13? And 8 to cap

[carmine glade]

let me rephrase, how can I get more than 2 pets?

other than wolves' passive

[faint cape]

BM immediately has +1. Then it has another +1 in its passive tree.

[carmine glade]

ooooooooh the mastery upgrade, okay

i don't see the +1 in the tree

[faint cape]

Search "max"

[candid elm]

Nature's Embrace

[sonic kraken]

If I use a rune of removal and it removes an exalted affix is the item still considered as exalted?

[carmine glade]

oh man you just taught me there's a searchbar... ❤️

[faint cape]

Only if it has another T6-7 affix

[sonic kraken]

So if I remove the only exalted affix it turns rare?

[dense root]

if it stops being purple it's no longer exalted

[wise pond]

is there a consensus on how to efficiently be running timelines? do you full clear echoes for the bonus stab or zoom through for the completion stab and more echoes? do you do the whole timeline and then all three quest echoes at the end, or quests as soon as you unlock them?

[faint cape]

It could turn magic or normal depending on number of remaining affixes, but yeah

[sonic kraken]

You rush to the objective and kill stuff along the way

[lilac echo]

Is it intentional that Warpath can never actually hit 0 mana cost? Got it to 2 with the tree. And it goes down to 1 with a -3 mana cost gear.
It uses 1 mana initially when starting it but afterwards, doesn't actually use mana.

[sonic kraken]

Full clearing is pointless since all you get is a bit of bonus stability

[minor echo]

does anybody know what eternal haunt does if you have channeled wandering spirits?

[acoustic thicket]

it'll keep revealing after you stop channelling iirc

[faint cape]

You can get the channel cost to 0, but the startup cost can't go below 1

[wise pond]

yeah bonus stab doesn't seem great, most echo rewards don't seem great either

[silent sapphire]

Are stash-related problems common? I was trying to reorganize it, and I now have some strange interactions and some tabs missing

[barren kayak]

Is there any reason to do the optional quest echos once you reach empowered??

[wise pond]

this can't be the intended design right?

[tall horizon]

If I take Titan's Bane in the thorn totem tree (only fire a single projectile) is the Impale node (17% chance to double dmg per hit) just flat better than Torrent of Thorns (7% chance to double proj) or am I missing something?

[acoustic thicket]

Considering how this game loves to make you run oom, it probably is

[sonic kraken]

You can't go for the boss without the quests

[faint cape]

Pretty sure it specifically states this in the tooltip Alt text, so I'd say yes

[wise pond]

that's such an odd choice

[faint cape]

The minimum 1 startup cost effectively just prevents you from starting while negative on mana

[candid elm]

There's also items that change pet stuff. Like The Fang and The Claw amulets gives " You can Summon Wolves up to your Maximum Number of Companions"

Artor's Legacy Helmet gives +1 Max Companions

Herald of the Scurry Helmet gives you double companion limit and turns your Wolves into Squirrels

[wise pond]

yeah that's what feels weird, if you're a 0-cost warpath build and you're negative, you're just... out of luck until you regen

[barren kayak]

@sonic kraken yes i can skip but is there any reward for doing them?

[faint cape]

Well, not really luck based, but yeah

[tall horizon]

Sounds like they just don't want you to be able to ignore mana. Seems reasonable

[sonic kraken]

As I said you can't fight the boss if you don't do the quest echoes. Boss fight is the reward (and the loot associated with it if you beat it)

[fluid ermine]

How do we catch up corruption on other Monoliths btw? I did 200 + corruption grind on 1 of the monos, but i want others to catch up, they are all 100 atm, how do I do that, anyone knows?

[sage iris]

is listening to the story worth it at all?

[barren kayak]

@sonic kraken Not true on empowered timelines, there you can skip straight to the boss

[candid elm]

Same thing. Just head to the edges

[sonic kraken]

Well then you can use them to "wait" a turn if you pick up some dangerous modifiers

[fluid ermine]

How is that "catch up" then?

[faint cape]

Only significant benefit is running down enemy modifier counters to make the boss fight easier

[broken escarp]

Hi i killed Lagon twice but still no portal to complete quest

[sonic kraken]

Catch up mechanic boosts your gain of corruption based on the highest corrupted timeline you reached. So if you hard farm one timeline catchup will boost the rest

[faint cape]

The catch-up bonus is automatic

[broken escarp]

i cant get my passive point

[fluid ermine]

Ok but how exactly does that "catchup boost" work? When do i catch up on others and how?

[faint cape]

Just increases corruption gain from shade fight. The amount is stated when you select the shade echo.

[sonic kraken]

Not sure how it works in multiplayer if at all. My guess is that your party members gain bonus corruption based on their current corruption

[fluid ermine]

Ohh ok some guy sent me a video i just seen, it happens after shade fight, i dont have it yet on my screen

this is what i didn't know because its still hidden on my map

[candid elm]

Just push to towards the edge

[fluid ermine]

got it thanks guys

[faint cape]

Ohh hold on, I just realized you mean corruption on other players. Whoops. I have no clue.

May or may not be possible

[fluid ermine]

not on other players, on other monoliths, dunno why he said that

[sage iris]

are skill animations like rive supposed to have a very small delay before they appear after you use it?

[wise pond]

i'm so confused about this corruption Q&A lmao

[rustic fulcrum]

any suggestions for a fun druid build? just getting back into the game after a year or so

[sonic kraken]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV7Idl0vsJ0 Here's a good video explaining how corruption catchup works

[candid elm]

Yay for Perry's vids

[fluid ermine]

Yeah thats the one i just watched

[honest scaffold]

Cold DoT Werebear or Lightning storm Swarmblade are good fun imo

Very similar in style. I play the latter atm

[wise pond]

squirrelmaster looks fun on paper if you get the helmet

but that's not druid

[faint cape]

I was playing lightning bear, but using rampage to kill bosses hurt my hand lol

[fluid ermine]

Im almost 100 with all uniques on this one, i kinda wanna try Lich, but im not sure which one is the best/most fun one for fast mapping/bosses/dungeons...not interested much in arena atm i know u dont need speed in arena, any suggestions? ^^

[faint cape]

Otherwise it was great fun

[twilit bough]

I've looked how people lvl lich, and i dont understand why people use spirit plague. There hast to be a reason for it, but at lvl ~20-25 it just clears so damn slow

I know i dont have to use it, but Id like to understand what im doing wrong

[toxic obsidian]

Any tips for how to get Arrowguard asap? Im like past 120 echoes on the first timeline and still none dropped lol, got a single unique quiver node, but thats it. Im past 8 ascendance runes. 1 day before 0.9 ive playtested my build and had already 2 of those on lvl 15. Im just that unlucky?

[sonic kraken]

Sounds like a unlucky streak yeah

Arrowguard is pretty common

[crimson drift]

so after getting all the idols and passive points, i can just go do the monoliths right? no point in fisninhg campaing for the second time

[candid elm]

I'm trying out two low life Lich builds with Death Seal and Deadlock. One using Marrow Shards and the other Hungering Souls.

Marrow Shards is fun, but kind of hard to aim. You have to aim in front of them, so they're hit by the cone explosion of shards.

Hungering Souls is auto aim, but there's some DPS downtime. When Death Seal isn't up.

[sonic kraken]

Also make sure you actually use your runes of ascendance on quivers. Otherwise you'll never get an arrowguard

[faint cape]

Sounds like you are running non-empowered, too, which gives much lower odds

[candid elm]

Majasa gives +1 all attributes. But you can do that later and skip to Act 9 from Temporal Sanctum.

[toxic obsidian]

Im gettin crazy seriously, should i keep pushing corruption and cross my fingers? What are the chances for gettin the LP on quiver like this

[fluid ermine]

Took me to stack up 10 BOSS KILLS with x2 completed reward resets + change uncompleted rewards before that to get BASTION OF HONOUR, had 3 same webs last 3 days...was pain to get, finally got it tho

[sonic kraken]

Beating the final boss gives +1 to all stats. But if you really want to you can start doing monos at around level 50

[toxic obsidian]

Its kinda low lvl req to wear this, so might be a good chance to get LP?

[faint cape]

They just increased its effective level, so might be a bit hard to get LP on it

[sage iris]

what am i supposed to do in an echo? should i be clearing out the map of mobs mostly like poe? or just rush to the end?

[fluid ermine]

Thanks bro, its pretty much maxroll builds, how about that RIP BLOOD that i've seen before, its not on maxroll dunno why

[candid elm]

Are you in Empowered?

[toxic obsidian]

No man, im lvl 80 hc

[undone vortex]

Anyone have an issue when killing Lagon in the campaign he doesn't give you an option to receive his blessing? He just tells you to take his portal to the surface. I've killed him a bunch of different ways and it's all the same thing: "?" above his head, he says 'leave before i get annoyed with you' or something 'take my portal to the top', but no blessing and I can't proceed

[toxic obsidian]

Shall i focus to get to empowered first? Its also kinda bad xp on this first monolith, area lvl is like 66

[candid elm]

Haven't tried that one

[sonic kraken]

It's 40 effective level which means a pretty good chance for LP

[faint cape]

If you are afraid to do empowered being HC, just run the highest content you can

The target farm nodes are not worth your time in normal monos

[toxic obsidian]

Lagon is nuts man, killed him once, but need to do 1 kill more to progres towards Age of Winter i guess

[raw fern]

According to patch notes 0.9C you should get next checkpoint anyways.

[sonic kraken]

If you want exp you can try doing arena

[neon roost]

If an item has an affex which says:

+2 to puncture
51% increased physical damage

Do both count?

[sonic kraken]

Yes

[faint cape]

Is LETools updated?

[digital nest]

You can start doing monos level 20ish without too much trouble depending on build.

[undone vortex]

I can't leave Thetima

[digital nest]

Makes for some very rapid leveling

[toxic obsidian]

Never done it before, is it something like mobs spawn until i die? And if i die there my char moves sc i guess?

[sonic kraken]

It's datamined data so it's pretty much always updated

[teal depot]

Does Flame Burst also do damage to the main target?

[ocean onyx]

is there a way to change the arena from Endless to the Tier I/II/III/IV?

i did an endless and now the only option when i put in key is for more endless

[sonic kraken]

Arena is infinite yes but you get breaks every 5 waves I believe so you don't go until you die you can stop when you'll start feeling that it's too hard

[rocky prism]

does this drop from tier 1 lightless arbor or it has to be 2tier

[faint cape]

Seemed like it hasn't been updated with actual 0.9 values yet, but if it was unchanged from the free weekend then it's good

[faint cape]

Yes

[sonic kraken]

It says "tier 1+" which basically means "any tier"

[candid elm]

Peak is T1+

[austere chasm]

Brand new player lvl 17 rogue. Wanting to play the shadowMater build. Trying to figure out when should I start using item filters? Should I just use them from lvl 1... or use them once I hit endgame?

[rocky prism]

so should i do it on tier 1 to have more chances i get this since tier 2 shows a different reward?

[vast lotus]

how do i make gear with resistances on i

it

[sonic kraken]

You start using filters when you feel like there's too much unwanted things on your screen. It's not like poe where you HAVE to use loot filters to play the game from level 1

[digital nest]

Shards

Runes of shattering to get them

[cerulean bridge]

just starting to get into post campaign content for the first time and starting to get used to the crafting system. crafted this wand...is this the correct sort of thing i should be going for? or am i missing affixes that i don't know about (lightning blast/static orb sorc)

[digital nest]

Check the game guide with the g key

[toxic obsidian]

Okay, cool, sounds interesting, gonna try that

[rocky prism]

should i do tier 1 so i get the helm i need and not the rest cuz i just need hte helm if i do tier 2 then i might get the boots?

[sonic kraken]

Not sure about the chances for drops specifically but if you do higher tier it has a better chance to roll LP

[faint cape]

Do the highest you can comfortably (for reason said above)

[rocky prism]

what is LP

[digital nest]

Open forge with no item slotted and you can view shards top left

[sage shale]

these game doesn't have market/ah right?

[toxic obsidian]

Wow, those boots are actually pretty crazy lol

[digital nest]

Legendary potential

[sonic kraken]

Legendary Potential. Press "G" in-game and have a read about it. It's a pretty cool thing

[sage iris]

should i be maxxing out the bonus stability on echos?

[toxic obsidian]

Im at 1413 dodge now, so those would be pretty crazy for me

[sonic kraken]

Not yet but it's planned to implement trading soon-ish

[candid elm]

Sure. Just note that specific affixes give more of a stat than general ones. So for example doing Lightning damage will have a higher range of values than doing Elemental damage.

[faint cape]

Not worth it

[bleak talon]

does this profit from the specialization points u put into lightning blast?

[faint cape]

Yes

[austere chasm]

Anyone know how to close the loot filter screen? The X isn't working nor is esc.

[cerulean bridge]

ahh i didn't realise that

thanks for letting me know

[sage iris]

so i just rush to th e end of an echo and clear it?

[sonic kraken]

Shift + F

[craggy hedge]

WTF i have to do ? cant complete the quest

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you want to be most efficient. Imo you can also just do whatever is fun

[candid elm]

Yes and you don't even need Lightning Blast on your skill bar if you want to just let that cast it.

Which can be helpful if you want to stick an unspecialized skill on your skill bar

[austere chasm]

Nope... nor does Teleporting.. i just closed game via alt+F4.. hopefully this works

[sonic kraken]

Click on lagon

[craggy hedge]

doesnt work

[sonic kraken]

If it doesn't work at all then something glitched out I guess

[mint raft]

whats the best place to farm coral rings? in empowered rifts

[boreal light]

what do I do after level 80? spamming echoes is boring as hell, is there anything else to do besides dungeons?

[austere chasm]

Yeah, for sure... i removed my item filter... and the game got ticked at me . lol. couldn't close it to save the life of me. . Closign out the game worked.

[sonic kraken]

No specific place for that. Just go for nodes with rings

[mint raft]

ah alr

[candid elm]

Do higher corruption echoes in empowered. Do higher tier dungeons. Try pushing Arena.

But yeah that's about it

[frosty carbon]

Can someone help me understand why Werebear Cold DoT builds put points into minion passives when they don't use minion skills?

[granite helm]

does dual wield aurelis allow double smites?

[ocean onyx]

how do you switch the arena out of endless mode?

[sage iris]

does anyone else just get stuck all the time when using lunge?

[hoary moat]

How is my poison damage taken calculated? I am using aura of decay that has 50% less poison damage taken, 75% poison res and 2 * 8% less DOT taken. Is it (1 - 0.5) * (1 - 0.75) * (1 - (0.08 + 0.08)) ~= 0.1?

[crude flame]

why is rahyeh so annoying to fight lmao

[sage iris]

are runes of removal rareish?

[sonic kraken]

The only really rare runes are runes of creation. Everything else you can pretty much use freely without much thinking

Runes of ascendance are an exception as they're base sensitive but everything else is common enough to not worry about it

[tulip flume]

so if lagon story fight bugs at the end you have to redo it?

[cerulean bridge]

So, the area level for the echo i'm currently doing is 85, and i'm only level 77. is this bad? like should i go back to lower level echos and level up or is it generally considered ok to be under the zone level.

[sage iris]

any way to make minions less stupid? other than press a to move them?

[left grove]

i do it 3 times and same problem 😦

[sonic kraken]

There is an exp penalty for doing lower level zones but all empowered monoliths are at level 100 so just go for empowered at that point

[cerulean bridge]

i have to do all the lower level ones to get into empowered, right?

[sonic kraken]

No. Only the ones to the right

You need to reach that blue triangle thing on the map

[cerulean bridge]

these ones?

[sonic kraken]

yes

[cerulean bridge]

ok cool

even at this level?

77

[sonic kraken]

Yeah. Empowered monos aren't meant to be done at level 100

You do them waaay earlier

[cerulean bridge]

ok cool, thank you

[sonic kraken]

Think of them like red maps in poe

[cerulean bridge]

ah ok, that makes sense

[split basin]

What is Point to have Warcry and Spriggan form if you never use on Cold DoT Werebear ?

[ocean onyx]

is there a cheat sheet for the icons under monster names (ailments and debuffs)?

[minor vigil]

unless it's changed, spriggan form is for the bonuses to vines

which are procced

[sonic kraken]

No but they should be pretty self-explanatory

[split basin]

oh so all this skill is just bonus to procced skills

[ocean onyx]

theres one thats like a blue sword that i cant figure out what it is. only shows up sometimes

[sonic kraken]

What damage types are you doing?

[lusty sonnet]

is the quest find the siege engineers currently bugged?

[split basin]

is reddit down ? 😄

[ocean onyx]

just fire

[sonic kraken]

Ok... And what skills are you using?

[minor vigil]

yeah and roar uses warcry's tree

so you proc maelstrom with roar

[ocean onyx]

warpath ignite

[split basin]

oh ok

is Rampage buggy/desynic is always port me back :S

[barren kayak]

i would rather have a Necrotic/phys base but kinda big neck

[sonic kraken]

?

[ocean onyx]

nope

[minor vigil]

it seems like some people are having issues with movement skills yeah. im personally not but i am having issues w/ the temporal sanctum warp

[ocean onyx]

ill get a screenshot next time i see it

that will be easier

[tulip flume]

this bugged lagon fight is so stupid

[orchid wave]

Is the chance to bleed stat in the character sheet bugged? Mine only shows 37% even though I apply 3 bleeds per hit

[ocean onyx]

character sheet will only show your base value, so if you have increased chance specific to something it wont show

[bright ice]

do "health regen" stats affect leech?

[neon roost]

Is there a way to test out a build without having to fully respec and go through everything again?

[uneven harness]

Do I need to finish the campaign on a second character if I already have all the bonus rewards. Is there any advantage that I'm missing?

[orchid wave]

do items not affect base value? That's a confusing setup, what qualifies as base vs anything else

Pure "chance to bleed%" prefix on an item is all it counts?

[ocean onyx]

and the stuff on passive tree, yeah

[frank fjord]

Does the Locus of Death are synergy with flame wraith? I mean can melee attack speed work with them if they cast?

or it transform?

[orchid wave]

seems off, since I had like 190% chance to bleed from melee attacks from tree and that isn't shown in character panel

[austere chasm]

Is the Teleport fixed? (like where I can teleport back to town.. then back to where I was?

[ocean onyx]

yeah thats specific to melee tho

not base

[shadow crown]

hi the game have market online like poe?

[orchid wave]

yeah but im saying that makes it silly for checking your stats

[acoustic thicket]

Are all the campaign Area Levels hardcoded, or in any way based on my character level?

[faint cape]

It's melee ias to offset the fact that stationary is a huge penalty to melee

[rocky prism]

the key nodes always drop arena keys and im looking for lightless arbor. is it random chance to drop any type of key? whats best way to farm lightless arbor

[faint cape]

Those only drop arena keys. Just kill rare/boss enemies in the highest level area you can

[raw fern]

No yet

[raw fern]

Are you a Merchant's Guild Member, or a Circle of Fortune member? Find out here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[lethal knot]

is there a point in doing the optional quest echoes in empowered monos?

[sage iris]

any reason ever to NOT transfer crafting items?

[rocky prism]

should i farm arena i dont know if any good drops there

[sonic saddle]

no

[tall horizon]

If I take Titan's Bane in the thorn totem tree (only fire a single projectile) is the Impale node (17% chance to double dmg per hit) just flat better than Torrent of Thorns (7% chance to double proj) or am I missing something?

[sage iris]

how rare are runes of creation?

[dry narwhal]

decent to fairly

[west lark]

Why i and my friend have different global chat? Both on EU West. Can we sync it?

[minor vigil]

I've gotten one since Thursday

[faint cape]

Arena technically can drop dungeon keys, but it isn't very good for that

[bright ice]

does anyone know if health regen stats affects leech?

[minor vigil]

What is arena good for lol

[bright ice]

farming keys I think

[faint cape]

They do different things. Enemies can only be hit by one thorn.

[faint cape]

It has exclusive uniques. That's it mostly.

[dense root]

bragging rights

[faint cape]

It does not

[bright ice]

ty

[brisk fractal]

Anyone know why the Awakening Prescence node from Volatile zombie, does not benefit from Dreadfull Horde node? IE When my character casts volatile zombie due to a minion dying, that zombie will gain the benefits of other passives on my tree, but the Dreadfull Horde node is supposed ot summon multiple zombies, but Awakening Presence only summons 1 zombie.

[faint cape]

Because that's the intent.

[brisk fractal]

Shouldn't it mention that somewhere?

[faint cape]

If not in the main text, it's in the Alt text

[brisk fractal]

There is no Alt Text for Dreadful Horde,

[faint cape]

On the summoning one

[brisk fractal]

OHHH

I see thanks

[stone gust]

what is the best way to include a video in the bug report?

[sudden mauve]

Has anyone dropped Apathy's Maw from Orobyss?

[rugged sinew]

does assemble abomination still lose it's minions on zone transition?

[austere chasm]

Is the Teleport fixed? (like where I can teleport back to town.. then back to where I was?

[minor vigil]

yeah but you need at least 50 corruption

it's a pretty common drop in empowereed

[sudden mauve]

I did over 50 kills and havent seen it at ~130 corruption :/

[ivory bluff]

that supposed to be like that?

just blank?

[vale belfry]

I think comet rush is bugged, can anyone confirm ? The cd work but doesnt reset haste.

[scenic totem]

has anyone had issues with +1 SKILL affixes? My +1 werebear, +1 entangling, +1 swipe are all not giving me +1. In fact they show up as 20, then I set a point and they go back to 19 AND the point I allocated removes a random point somewhere else lol

[minor vigil]

there's a visual bug with it. try allocating points even if it says you have 0

[minor vigil]

that's really strange, it's not nearly that rare

[faint cape]

Do farther shade kills for higher chance. +14 or higher minimum imo

[tall horizon]

Oh, good to know. Didn't think of it as adding in an aoe just another sent at the boss. Thanks!

[vast lotus]

is resist gear better than gimmicky set and uniques, even though they look cool

[void flicker]

do items like this: https://i.imgur.com/Eou6H6i.png
and this: https://i.imgur.com/KVDTLpN.png
mean resistance thats above 75% or below? the text to me means its below 75% but the way some guides are written saying stack that resistance make it seem its resistance above 75%

[sudden mauve]

Hmm interesting, ill give it a go

[faint cape]

Just means the scaling ignores the cap

[void flicker]

that is still confusing

this stat is lost upon me

[minor vigil]

it's not "overcapped", it's "uncapped"

so it's just your resistance value

[split quail]

When do you get to the factions? 🤔

[dusky flume]

i need to get exalted daggers with mods i need right to make my jelkhors legendary? cant be swords right

[faint cape]

If you are over cap, the grayed out value is uncapped. If you are below cap, then that is already uncapped.

[void flicker]

got it

thank you @faint cape

[sonic saddle]

i'm having trouble figuring out where my save file is for my online character so i can chuck it into the planner tool, where should i be looking?

[faint cape]

Right

[faint cape]

Not possible

[sonic saddle]

dammit

[dusky flume]

rip, keep getting swords with stats i want for em T.T

[sonic saddle]

guess i gotta go do things manually.... urgh

[fast walrus]

Is there a website that tells you what item base to use rune of ascendency on to get what?

[dusky flume]

bases doesnt matter

just the item type

[silk hill]

Hello guys im kinda got interesting question which monolit should im farm for helmet / body armor base with critical avoid

[lethal knot]

is there a point in doing the optional quest echoes?

[fast walrus]

ty

[faint cape]

No way to target base subtypes, just gotta be in a high enough level zone

[timid hemlock]

im trying to make my mastery Bladedancer and it's bugged. I click on it and accept, it makes the noise like i upgraded to my mastery, but does not complete the quest

[faint cape]

They tick down enemy modifiers

[vestal pawn]

I'm playing a hammerdin on the Majassa fight, I spec'd into Enra's and manaforging pretty early and wondering if it would be better to unspec them and have orbiting hammers instead. I'd be pretty limited on mana, as I can only cast 4 times before running out and slowing down.

[silk hill]

im farming 90 lvl monos but dont get any with avoid

[jaunty spear]

Is 50 the earliest I could get Culnivars Claim? (And if so, should I bother trying to get it that early or wait until I'm a higher level)

[silk hill]

like those 2 bases help me to do 100 % avoid for crits

[digital nest]

It dropped for me in my high 30s I think

Weird item btw, not sure how I feel about my mana constantly emptying

[minor vigil]

yes unless you use a rune of ascendance. if you're a devotion build tho you need 71 for devotion anyway

[digital nest]

I definitely got mine before level 50

[jaunty spear]

Hmmm, interesting! Thank you!

[minor vigil]

level 50 zone level

[digital nest]

yea, was doing monos around level 30 when I got it iirc

[minor vigil]

ye

[faint cape]

Your crit avoid isn't so important that you need to stop for it unless you're playing HC

[minor vigil]

culnivars is really good with smite and devotion

idk what else it's used for if anything

[jaunty spear]

I'm rolling Lighting sorc, and that's been recommended for it

[digital nest]

using it for my lightning blast build atm

ye

odd item but it ramps my damage a ton

[viscid nova]

How does quest progress work if I join a friend who is on a different part of the campaign than me?

If I have more progress will I mess up my friend's campaign by joining him?

[halcyon river]

Currently Level 84 Sorc, following the static orb build on maxroll.gg. Feeling a bit underpowered for doing empowered monos, any ideas how to solve that?

[minor vigil]

my biggest issues with static orb were mana and tankiness

tankiness is solved by twisted heart

do you have at least 300 mana and solid regen

i think you want like 14

[dusky flume]

wellp, startign chest is complete atleast

[sage iris]

does "more" stack multiplicative or additively?

[minor vigil]

multiplicative

[modern umbra]

guys can some1 tell me whats the real dropchance of that "reign of winter" bow? it shows 50% here (https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEYFYE4g) but i've killed that boss 17x already and dropped 17x helmet. Am i just extremly unlucky or am i doing anything wrong?

[hasty raft]

guys, Question regarding the beastmaster bear, there is a node that lets him use SWIPE. Will it be the same SWIPE as the maincharacter? so the stuff that I for example skilled?

[minor vigil]

you are extremely unlucky

or there's a bug

[sage iris]

per source? or per what its describing

[minor vigil]

yea

[halcyon river]

started the reign of blood to get the twisted heart.

337 mana, mana reg ist 12

Edit: having issues finding a good ivory and coreal ring.

[sage iris]

so if it says "20% more damage" it is basically exactly 20% more damage?

[minor vigil]

some stacking more multipliers specify they arent multiplicative with themselves like throne of ambition

yes

[sage iris]

so like, if another one says "15% more damage" its 1.2*1.15?

[minor vigil]

ya

[minor vigil]

you dont need to follow the maxroll guide exactly. those are just guidelines

ivory is great for capping necrotic res

[halcyon river]

will look out for another good ring. still lacking of blessing with specific resistance.

[halcyon river]

but empowered monoliths is still the way to go for me?

[minor vigil]

unless you absolutely cannot clear them

i was able to farm twisted heart in empowered on my static orb

you cant get hit by the boss tho obv lol

do you have any crit at all

[carmine glade]

is there some sort of tier list for the best builds to run as first build I've pushed all the characters that somewhat felt appealing to me up to level ~35 and now it's time for me to commit to one of them, but IDK which one will be easiest to start hunting gear early on

[minor vigil]

iirc crit and those idols are a ton of damge

[zenith hound]

Is there any quick newbie guide for what affixes we might want on each item, and also what stats we might want/need at various levels?

[minor vigil]

mana regen is mainly for clear

[halcyon river]

got 3 arcane idol for 300 max mana thingy.

[minor vigil]

oh ok that's good

[dusky flume]

the game rly wants me to play lightning meteor lol, keep getting vilatrias downfall lol

[bright ice]

can you open multiple doors to get all the buffs in dungeons?

[faint cape]

No

[bright ice]

are the doors always the same buff?

[pure moth]

What is the best way to scale erasing strike? Flat void? % void damage? %melee damage? ..%melee physical?

I notice the apathy axe has % increased physical damage and is bis for erasing strike, is it because the flat void or does the % physical play a role?

[hasty raft]

guys, Question regarding the beastmaster bear, there is a node that lets him use SWIPE. Will it be the same SWIPE as the maincharacter? so the stuff that I for example skilled?

[boreal ibex]

since enemies pen 75% resistance per area level does that mean you need 150% resistances to cap?

[desert quest]

Pen starts from cap

You cannot stop it

[minor vigil]

hm your stats are pretty similar to mine except i have 100 more crit multi. what are you actually struggling with? are you just dying to stuff?

im assuming you have capped crit avoid

[timid hemlock]

i think i just accidentally duped when gambling 🤔
anyone else done this before?

[halcyon river]

yeah crit multi is one thing i am missing. Not killing the big guys fast leads to mana drain and this leads to my death, most of the time.

[faint cape]

They are randomized each run

[halcyon river]

🥹

[austere chasm]

Are there death penalties?

[flat carbon]

i love this game but i keep getting this awful glitch where i cant use my moves and i cant see any enemy attacks and i cant pick anything up, it like everything freezes but i can still see my friends and mobs moving around.. i always have to leave and rejoin its really annoying. has anyone else experienced this?

[dense root]

notably the entrance door is the same for 24 hours at a time

the doors between floors change each run though yeah

[faint cape]

It should say in the node text. If not, press Alt

[halcyon river]

sadly no, i could switch back from my Prism Wasp to my Woven Flesh to have atleast 100 %

[minor vigil]

honestly im not gonna lie, the build feels really bad defensively without twisted heart

and yeah not having capped crit avoid

[faint cape]

Funnily enough, I don't think about the giant door as a door. 😂

[bleak sail]

Does stability have a cap on how much you can store?

[faint cape]

Yes

[atomic cedar]

Have EHG made any mention of when they plan on fixing the friends list?

[halcyon river]

i guess i should NOT try to grind for the heart within a normal mono?

[bleak sail]

Do you happen to know the cap?

[faint cape]

Maybe 5k on empowered? Idk

[minor vigil]

it's double the stability required for the boss

[minor vigil]

blegh it's just kind of a waste to do it esp since you have to sit through the quest echoes each time

[teal depot]

How does Ward and Ward Retention work? If I get 15 Ward Regen per second, how much will it amount to (Assuming 0% Ward Retention)?

[dense root]

pretty sure it's just 2x the stability you need to fight the boss

[digital cape]

does jelkhors detonating shot not count as melee for this? tooltip isnt updating when i use a potion

such a sweet leveling combo btw

[boreal slate]

Is it worth hitting the echo web reset thing in monoliths? V new to the game so don't know if it'll do anything funky

[sage shale]

does anyone have meta necro build I can follow?

[ocean onyx]

yeah. it shows you a few options ahead and it doesnt have map mods associated with it so you can use it to drop them off before bosses

[minor vigil]

the further away you are from the starting point, the more corruption you will get

[candid elm]

What level are you?

[boreal slate]

Lovely, thank you! feel like I am just fumbling around in the dark at the mo haha. Got to the 3rd monolith timeline and have no idea if I am doing it correctly or not really. Is it just a case of keep going until it gets too hard and then farm that level until you've got gear to make it easier?

[sage shale]

50

[ocean onyx]

yeah pretty much

[austere chasm]

Are there death penalties? like loss of xp or something in this game?

[heavy oasis]

am i doing something wrong with my filter?? i have it set to show every rare item of the base types i want and im barely finding anything

[dense root]

you lose your deathless status on the character screen

it's brutal

[desert quest]

share the rule please

[carmine glade]

can someone please explain to me why marksman's signature spell is lightning-based and no other ability is lightning? I mean, what's the whole idea? I feel like it won't work well in any build

[dense root]

detonating arrow is perfectly fine

like you only need one main damaging skill anyway so it doesn't really matter if the other skills marksman has scale off other things

[outer saddle]

how do resist penetration work if opp has 0 res?

no effect?

[candid elm]

Here's some on lastepochtools.com https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/mastery/necromancer
And one on maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/golem-necromancer-guide

But you may want to look at a generic leveling guide until you get into the 70s. https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/necromancer-leveling-guide

The build guides are typically setup for higher levels. Sometimes with specific gear.

[desert quest]

opp? you can pen even 0 res, goes to negative

[outer saddle]

opponent. Nice thanks

[minor vigil]

in the endgame, you lose all progress on the echo you're in and the reward at the end. you also lose all boss progress if you die

[carmine glade]

but why doesn't it scale with physical in any way? Is it strong even if I have literally no lightning boost?

[dense root]

put lightning stuff on your gear

there's lots of it

[carmine glade]

that would make all my other spells bad

[heavy oasis]

@desert quest these are what my rules look like, just the item base types i want and then show any rares, i see maybe 1 item show up every 2-3 echoes and 99% of the time its useless

[sage shale]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/KBakd51A is these one good?

[minor vigil]

detonating arrow is good for bleed as well

[carmine glade]

besides, my gear is hot garbo, my marksman is level 25

[austere chasm]

Copy ... so nothing really for early game / leveling, except it moves you back a litltle on the map?

[carmine glade]

wait actually the POISON node turns it into physical, I just noticed...

[crude flame]

is burning avarice good? did 2 runs of soulfire and got one from the vendor lol

[forest pier]

Blood, Frost and Death boss didn't give me a blessing. Is that a bug or are not all the mono's guaranteed to give one?

[obtuse canyon]

how to reset loot position

[desert quest]

Looks correct so probably RNG or rare bases

[heavy oasis]

is that the one with the ice lich boss guy

[dusky flume]

so close 😔

[forest pier]

Yes

[candid elm]

I haven't played it. You can get some ideas from them, though. See what you like

[heavy oasis]

i think theres an NPC in the arena u have to talk to after killing him and then u get the blessing option

[forest pier]

thx

[digital nest]

I'm guess at some points 50+ resistance gear starts dropping left and right? Because I'm in low 50s and only just now seeing some stuff with 30% or so

[dusky flume]

exalted pieces

[candid elm]

And there's Blessings you can get later that give resistance

[dusky flume]

or well, any item rly, just need to upgrade it to t4+

[digital nest]

Exalted = purple?

[halcyon river]

@minor vigil thanks for your help. Is there any deep reason i am not aware of, why maxroll is only using the crystal wand in the build?

[austere chasm]

Why does my crit strike chance go from 18% - 22 %... when I add a ring that says 45% increased crit strike chance...

[candid elm]

Yes, has at least one t6+ mod

[edgy mural]

Skills don't need the elemental tag right? elemental just means fire, cold, and lightning tags are assumed?

[dusky flume]

45% isnt 45% flat

[digital nest]

Modifies your base chance which is 5% before modifiers

If you check there's two types of % crit stats, additive and multiplicative

one adds to your base 5%, other modifies the base number

[acoustic thicket]

what are the best / fun build right now to play? --> Wanna try something else 🙂

[minor vigil]

max mana

but you may not have the luxury to use the perfect base

[heavy oasis]

im stuck because i dont know if i want to reroll my build or not, content is getting harder from corruption but my build doesnt feel like its getting stronger because im having a hard time finding upgrades

[candid elm]

What skill are you looking at? Yes, Elemental means Fire, Cold, and Lightning.

[edgy mural]

I'm thinking that while damage over time would be better, both of these mods should still give me damage to maelstrom, right?

[halcyon river]

i got one pretty good crystal wand, but also a dragonhorn wand with t6 spell crit chance, t5 cast speed, t5 shock on hit, and sadly a freeze rate multiplier

[desert quest]

yes, unless you picked the phys damage node, both should give damage

[edgy mural]

ty

[austere chasm]

How do I know which is which?

[lunar holly]

"increased" is additive with any other source of "increased", "more" is multiplicative

[unborn wigeon]

did something happen to you all after this update? my damage went down like 3x with nothing else changing

[lost gulch]

huh anyone else not able to increase their forced item for health even if they have health suffix items?

[brisk cape]

does this stat scale past 100%? for any rogue bd players

[native sail]

Pen scales technically infinitely

[lunar holly]

there are two types of "Health" affixes, % health and +X health, you probably miss one of them

[last thistle]

whats a fun fast mapper? feel kinda done with my hammerdin smiter

[lost gulch]

ah guessing it wont show in search if its at 0

[brisk cape]

diminishing returns?

[native sail]

Bleed Shield Rush

[lost gulch]

be nice if 0 amount showed up in searching

[dusky flume]

im loving jelkhor detonating arrow

[last thistle]

will look it up

[native sail]

Less so than like % increased damage. Pen is one of the strongest ways to scale damage imo.

[brisk cape]

alright cool, appreciate it

[faint plinth]

how do I get to the ruined coast?:

[rocky prism]

this bow scales with spell dmg and cold damage ?

[native sail]

If you can get high pen and good crit rate with decent multi you should be good.

[brisk cape]

shadow daggers is guaranteed crit :)

[native sail]

A side quest takes you there through a rift in Shining Cove

[native sail]

Yes.

[candid elm]

Yes, just note that specific affixes will have higher damage values than general ones.

For example, just Cold will have higher possible values than Elemental.

Another example, Increased Elemental Damage Over Time will have higher damage ranges than just regular Increased Damage Over Time

[faint plinth]

uh.. mmhh

[native sail]

You're find said side quest in Oracle's Abode I think it was called.

[rocky prism]

my whole build is based on physical dmg and bleed so all my items are useless and now need to find cold dmg /spell dmg and shit? increased Freeze Rate Multiplier is also good?

[brisk cape]

you can just use a different bow?

[faint plinth]

here? I dont see a quest marker there:

[desert quest]

Yes, there are even affixes that go beyond 100% on their own

[native sail]

If you're trying to roll into an Icicle build, yes you'll have to move over to cold stuff. Freeze rate is nice to have.

[native sail]

Gotta move forwards to the next town point and a person will give you the quest to go back there.

[faint plinth]

ok will try it out

[native sail]

[rocky prism]

increased elemental damage is also good to have for that build right?

[crimson drift]

the fastest way to get to 80 is monoloiths? or arenas give more xp?

[native sail]

Yup. Cold will do better as it's a higher range due to being specific but Ele is fine.

[desert quest]

How about combine both and do arenas in monos

[woeful saddle]

guys, how i should continue? i dont know what i have to do

[worn bluff]

how do I heal my minions? just through minion recovery affix and hope they have good life leech nodes?
