[red inlet]

Oh I can still see affix shards tho yeah, I do believe I can't see the glyphs

[zinc anchor]

you have rare affix shards turned on. Do you want to see glyphs? Might make a rule for them if you do

[grizzled bobcat]

I think I may have just figured it out and its kind of a face palm moment if its the case, it may have been a button held down on a controller. which is weird cause it doesn't even show any keybinds on the controller I just noticed it when I restarted, there was a prompt about a controller connected.

[red inlet]

Oh and the rare classes affixes is simply hybrid health

[serene epoch]

is viable 0.9 warpath vulcanus???

[pine tendon]

is flurry (3341 base dmg) or umbral blades (1215 base dmg) with shadow dagger better?

[lost pecan]

how do I get the item that lets me gift items to a friend?

the drop wasnt there with him

[dry narwhal]

you wait til that item is actually in the game

[lost pecan]

oh LMAO i thought it was already lollll

[minor vigil]

it's actually an incredible build

oh im a bit late lol

[zinc anchor]

Ah, haha, no worries, I've had the opposite happen....weird stuff happened when I played a game once with a controller then realized something was sitting on my keyboard. 😛

[zinc anchor]

Ok but what is "rare items"? That might be the glyphs that like duplicate the item or can let you seal it and change it to unique, things like that but probably does not include glyph of hope, for example. Just speculation as I have no idea 😛

[lost pecan]

what is a toon?

[native sail]

Character

[lost pecan]

why is it called that lmao

[zinc anchor]

better than "twink"

the first MMORPG I ever played called characters "toons" and IDK why but I started calling them that then 😛

[cunning crow]

Before I post in the forums, can anyone else confirm that Vilatria's Storm Crown is only giving ONE lightning spell +1, rather than all?

[native sail]

No idea, it's a really, really old term

[zinc anchor]

There's a unique belt (I can't remember what it's called, I'm in a map now) but it doesn't give +1 to ALL physical spells when it says it does. So it wouldn't surprise me something else is buggy that way

[final coral]

That's also a common visual bug too

A lot of times it IS giving you the skill point

But it still says the skill is "level 20"

[cunning crow]

Oh, yeah

[zinc anchor]

The belt I'm referring to it's not a visual bug though, but for Vilataria's Storm Crown IDK

[cunning crow]

it's the visual bug - When I equip the crown, it shows all my lightning spells getting +1, but once I level ONE up, they all vanish

But I can still level things up

[zinc anchor]

Ah ok well that's good it was only visual then

[cunning crow]

Yeah, but it's a big visual XD

[zinc anchor]

agreed

Thorn Slinger, is the bugged belt. It doesn't let me put a point into Summon Skeleton or Summon Bone Golem or Summon Wraith (not just visual), yet it counts Assemble Abomination which is also just a summon spell, as well as Bone Curse (those are the 5 skills I'm using, so, I wouldn't know what else is included or not without respeccing)

If Abomination is physical, then why not skeletons, golems, and wraiths? They all have the physical tag, I did NOT take nodes to remove the physical tag

Abomination doesn't do damage other than from the minion, so it's not like I'm doing physical damage with it

I will say, Abomination's tag "physical" is listed under "scaling tags" as he doesn't have a "minion tags" category but the other 3 list it as "minion tags". IDK what difference it makes but it sounds unintentional

[final coral]

I actually think that's Working as intended? It's just the intended is dumb.

[final coral]

Yea cause this

It's working the way it SHOULD because of the tags. But maybe the tags need to be reworked

[zinc anchor]

Ah well. It's not like I'd use the belt anyway. Maybe if it had 2 or 3 LP, but meh

[serene epoch]

is viable in 0.9 warpath with volcanus sword???

[late fiber]

im trying to get smoke weaver ive used 7 runes of ascendance and havent gotten one is it bad luck or is it a boss drop or something like that

[quiet sandal]

Rng

[acoustic thicket]

hey all -- curious if there are any damage experts on. I have a calc that gives me the correct crit ranges when I wait for all my effects to wear off the dummy (21k-32k). When I unleash everything, effects build up (armour shred, resist shred, electrify etc) I'm calculating that I should be hitting for 55k-75k but I'm critting more like 85k-95k and trying to figure out why. Does electrify add any additional penetration or is it just DoT ?

[frank veldt]

Hello all - So I've ran through each of the areas for Mono's mostly solo. Completed all 3 echos for each but it still says I have to complete Blood, Frost, and Death and Ending the Storm. Both still say "Discover the remaining branches in the timeline." I've completed each of those twice and can't seem to get them to show as completed. Any suggestions?

[dry narwhal]

not an expert but electrify is just a dot

[dry narwhal]

you need to do a different path be it in dialogue for ending the storm or walking a different path in b,f,d

but you also dont need to finish those quests.

[native sail]

These things are minion skills not physical skills.

Abomination should be reported as a bug, I think

[floral badge]

Yeah, I was going to say, they actually have a point. Assemble Abomination does list Physical as a scaling tag (not minion tag). I'd think the Physical tag should be a minion tag.

[frank veldt]

@dry narwhal Thank you for the info

If I don't have to do them, how do I start doing empowered mono's?

[dry narwhal]

assuming you did the 3 90s go to the island between them

[frank veldt]

Finally! Thanks @dry narwhal

[native sail]

As far as I know, it absolutely should, because it doesn't actually scale off increased phys to my knowledge

[vital bobcat]

If I have a 1lp item and I want to add like say mana regen to it... can I just get a shitty single affix item of the same type of my 1lp item and add it on there? that way its 100% to get the affix i want..? or not how it work?

[zinc anchor]

I have a bug where I can only pick up 3 potions even though my belt can hold 4, anyone saw this before?

[native sail]

Nope. Has to have 4 affixes to attempt it.

[zinc anchor]

I even took my belt off and put back on

[vital bobcat]

gotcha

[acoustic thicket]

Ty ! lastepochtools has this note that is confusing on electrify: "Increased Effect applies Additional Lightning Penetration" https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/electrify

[dry narwhal]

its penetration for the electrfy

not anything else

at least how i've understood it

[acoustic thicket]

gotchya -- yup, this makes sense, appreciate ya

[vital bobcat]

guess I missed something... first time at eternity cache but it says the synthesis will complete in time...? Did I miss a quest or something?

[acoustic thicket]

just use the dungeon ability 🙂

you'll jump forward and then be able to open it

[vital bobcat]

ahhh haha

woops

[dry narwhal]

literally just press d

[acoustic thicket]

hope it worked out for ya -- my first one was perfectly what i was hoping for. The last 20 have mostly been worse possible outcome

but rng has provided with double purps, just no late game legendary keepers

[gentle mango]

anybody else crashing way more than usual?

[plush depot]

Me, my game is crashing every 5 minutes

[plush depot]

Already checked the files integrity and reinstalled the game but it keeps crashing

Heya

You can report bugs and crashes on the forums. If you search there, there's a variety of troubleshooting options which might help you workaround the issue.

Alternatively, you can reach out to support

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[gentle mango]

thanks, i'll check it out

[west vapor]

I SOLVED THE CRASHING ISSUE

the game in current form isnt optimized and when it tries to load a instance like nodes and stuff it is slamming the ram to hard and that causes the crash

i increased my pagefile size in windows and havnt had a crash since

[sterile widget]

Yup - increasing page file has improved the situation for some people. 🙂

Glad it worked for you

[west vapor]

thanks

[gentle mango]

are there any repercussions for changing pagefile size? i've never heard of it before now

[west vapor]

no as long as you have the space you can make it as big as you want ]\

[gentle mango]

ok thanks

[west vapor]

its not as efficient as ram

so its not a 1:1 translation

and you can have multiple pagefiles

if you have 2 drives you can set one on each drive

it is just a place for your system to draw from in the event of your ram being overdrawn

so like virtual ram

only not as fast

[restive wasp]

Hi guys, I'm a new player on my second character... Currently playing a Lightning Blast/Static Orb Sorc. I was wondering what the difference is between Increased Critical Strike Chance, Increased Spell Critical Strike Chance, and Increased Melee Critical Strike Chance?

Like, is regular Increased Critical Strike Chance applied to spells or not?

[crimson herald]

ive just cleared my first 2 monoliths and just acquired an ascendent rune. I'm a cold bear druid any advice on what to use it on?

[faint cape]

When things don't specify what they apply to, such as "Critical Strike Chance", they apply to everything that is applicable. Spell crit chance rolls higher numbers at the same tier than generic crit chance does, just with the drawback that it only applies to spells instead of everything.

[west vapor]

yeah i was trying to think of best way to put that

'anything applying to specific type like spell or melee tend to have much higher range per tier vs the generic

[restive wasp]

Thanks so much for the simple, succinct answer. Pretty much tells me everything I need to know 🙂

[west vapor]

is it possible to pick up the end of time waypoint and do the monolith content without completing the whole story each character

[sonic saddle]

yes

you only need to go partway through the story to be able to do monos

but you won't have full idol slots or the passive points

[west vapor]

can you selectivly do those questlines for those unlocks

it seems tedious to have to complete the story over and over

[faint cape]

Yeah definitely, if you complete all the idol/passive quests as you go, you'll get them all when you finish chapter 7 (when you kill the tree guy for the lance)

you can do dungeons to skip chunks of the campaign to mix things up, but I don't know where that leaves you - lastepochtools.com has checklists that can help you streamline

[west vapor]

sweet

i mean im still having fun with my second toon and it basically walks the monos easily and im not even geared fully yet

[faint cape]

I usually just clear up through ch 7 and start monos, and eventually come back to campaign sometime later, run temporal sanctum to skip to ch 9 and finish campaign for the +1 all attributes reward at the end

[mild geyser]

is there any fast way to get more Glyphs of Hope?

There was a really weird UI bug where it seems like it never updated how many I had. It kept saying I had 20 so I kept using them. Then the next time I crafted, I had 1. :/

[west vapor]

i mean seems like higher level i went on monos it seems to drop more and more

[mild geyser]

I dont have a great character for that. I started over.

I have a 60ish spin to win warpath void knight, but I was feeling kinda stuck on him.

Now I have a shadow dagger bladedancer and I'm loving it, but only 45 and not done with campaign yet.

[clever jay]

on the acolyte, what is classed as being transformed?

[faint cape]

Reaper Form is the only transform skill on Acolyte, and it's specific to the Lich mastery

[zinc anchor]

I was watching a stream where this happened to someone with runes of shattering 😦

[clever jay]

ah okay. im currently a pet necro.... been fun so far....

[west vapor]

im doing the bone golem necro and it walks 90s on basic gear basically one shotting everything but bosses

and thats just at character level 83

thats the stats of the golem

[stiff bone]

does "damage with skills used by shadows" include shadow daggers?

[dry narwhal]

no

[faint cape]

Shadows don't use the shadow daggers skill itself

[dry narwhal]

shadow daggers is an ailment

not a skill

[stiff bone]

it is??

i guess that makes sense

never considered that lmao

[dry narwhal]

yeah 4 stacks of ailment = damage

[faint cape]

well kinda it's both, the ailment triggers the skill, kinda like spark charge

[dry narwhal]

it's not a direct skill

[faint cape]

yeah, you never use it

[dry narwhal]

the simple answer is still no though lol

[faint cape]

yep, very true

[stiff bone]

so would ailment damage scale it?

[mild geyser]

yeah it sucked. I was kinda wondering why I wasn't losing them very fast. really bad glitch b/c the only reason I kept using them was because I seemed to always have 20+ :/

[dry narwhal]

hold alt on a node that gives shadow daggers

it'll show you the tags

[faint cape]

^ that, also I don't think ailment damage is a stat

[dry narwhal]

that would be damage over time, which SD doesn't wanna do

[stiff bone]

sadge

id like an ailment build lmao

[faint cape]

there are quite a few good ones, and other DOT builds that aren't ailments, too

[dry narwhal]

sd is busted lol

feels great

although it doesnt actually act like an ailment

[faint cape]

yeah, SD is really fun

[dry narwhal]

first bladedancer build ive actually enjoyed

ever

highest rogue i've ever had

[stiff bone]

i assume sd = shadow daggers?

[faint cape]

my highest rogue is bees for some reason

[faint cape]

yes

[stiff bone]

i still havnt got the dagger for it yet

the smoke weaver i think it is

[west vapor]

is sentinal any fun

[faint cape]

I don't think you need smoke weaver for it, could do fine with other daggers or dual katanas

I did a lightning mirage SD build at some point with dual fulgurite shards

[stiff bone]

i did loot a fat katana

i guess im kinda new but it looks crazy to me lmao

[dry narwhal]

smokeweaver is clearspeed increase

[faint cape]

Definitely, yeah

[dry narwhal]

itll work fine with any dagger

[dry narwhal]

tbd

[faint cape]

not one, but two VKs!

[stiff bone]

i want to make a support paladin so bad lmao

[dry narwhal]

warpath and DO lol

[dry narwhal]

"incidental support" on holy trail pally is very fun

[faint cape]

Support vinebear is also quite neat, if you're into supports

[stiff bone]

i have yet to make a druid

i have yet to make a bear this update

i keep meaning to though

[brazen summit]

can a fellow marksman please help me, i am doing reign of winter build, and i hated hail of arrows, picking up arrows was very odd to me, is dragonsong better then reign of winter? im about to give up on this awful end game class

[west vapor]

do we get reset each update?

[dry narwhal]

bleed detonating arrow with reign of winter i think should be doing great

[dry narwhal]

your characters will not be wiped, ever.

there are planned cycles (seasons, leagues) coming in the future and if you wish to participate then yes it is fresh start

[floral badge]

"x% Increased Critical Chance with Lightning skills" applies to all damage from the skill, right? Not just the Lightning damage?

[stone granite]

No

[stone granite]

You can't crit partial damage

All that affix means is you have higher crit chance if the skill you are using has the lightning tag

[floral badge]

That's what I thought, just wanted to confirm with someone smarter than me. lol

[normal pilot]

Guys, just wondering at what difficulty does tier 7 items starts to drop?

[stone granite]

Should start dropping by empowered monoliths.

[sonic saddle]

afaik the only actual restriction on them dropping is area level, not sure what the level is exactly

[acoustic thicket]

whats the max level you can get ?

[sterile widget]

90 for T7

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[sterile widget]

[acoustic thicket]

is it very hard to get ?

[sterile widget]

You definitely need persistence, but it isn't hard per se

[native sail]

Nah, pretty reasonable

I have a toon that I got to 99 within a week of the MP update

I could push that to 100 if I get off my ass

[sterile widget]

[native sail]

[sterile widget]

https://tenor.com/view/we-are-answering-the-call-of-destiny-dr-adrian-mallory-john-malkovich-space-force-fate-gif-17483434

[native sail]

We had a very long gap between 0.8.5 and 0.9, but they'll be back to their regular cadence of about every 3-4 months now

0.9.1 is slated for around June

[acoustic thicket]

what level can i start doing monoliths ?

[native sail]

Technically as soon as you get to End of Time, which on average is about 25. Realistically I'd say get all your passive points and idols first, which if you do all your side quests puts you around level 45-50 and the end of chapter 7 by the time you get them all.

[acoustic thicket]

u onlt get the extra passive points and idol slots from side quests ? not the main storry

[native sail]

You get them from both

But if you do every side quest it's faster than focusing only main

[acoustic thicket]

so to level fast i should pick up all quests ?

[native sail]

Pretty much yeah

[rapid talon]

Can someone reccomend me the tankiest possible build?

[spark drum]

Spellblade

Hit stuff, generate ward

Wear Exsanguinous, generate even more ward

[rapid talon]

Wouldn't you be vulnerable to oneshots as a mage?

[spark drum]

Nope

[native sail]

Sorc + Twisted Heart > Exsang

[spark drum]

You will constantly be refilling your ward

[rapid talon]

Tried that already, I died constantly

[native sail]

skill issue

[spark drum]

Also if you have any amount of leech you'll also have your health pool at max as long as you're hitting stuff

Can easily have 1k health and 1500-2k ward with minimal investment

[rapid talon]

I'll give spellblade a shot in that case

[spark drum]

If you get hit you can just pop a potion or use flame ward to regen to full

Ez game

[rapid talon]

Would I want to dual wield, or use bastion for spellblade?

[plush depot]

I'm pretty sure that my crash problems are linked to using Warpath + Lunge. Every time my game crashes its in the exact time im using this abilities in succession.

[spark drum]

More attacks = more ward

Also dual Rainbow Edges will hard carry you into low monos

Tome of Elements and Prismatic Wraps are also amazing leveling uniques

[fickle rain]

When i use void cleave to trigger abyssal echoes, if i specialize in abyssal echoes, does the procced abyssal echoes use the specialized skill tree?

[sterile widget]

If you've found a reproducible bug for these, you should definitely put that on the forums. There are a few threads about lunge but I haven't read them and can't say for sure if anybody else has specific identified Warpath pairing as the issue. 🙂

[plush depot]

I'll try playing with other abilities for a moment just to check if my suspicions are true. But im pretty sure that the last 10-15 crashes that ive had we're during lunge's dash.

[amber void]

is "increased spell damage" affix better than "increased necrotic" for death seal and hungering souls?

[plush depot]

10 minutes without crashing (and not using lunge).

[sterile widget]

what about if you don't use warpath though?

apart from tanking your damage, can you lunge everywhere?

[plush depot]

From what im observing the crash happens after a few minutes into using my combo which consists in spinning+lunging with a spear (with all lunge upgrades to the spear tree)

I use the combo to have mobility and damage, right now im just spinning + rive instead of lunging

When i was using warpath+lunge in about 3-5 minutes the game just spike laggs and crashs, with warpath + rive its 100% ok no crashes in almost 20 min

[normal pilot]

if I set loot filter to look like this

[bitter delta]

Would anyone be willing to test a skill bug for me if they're capable? I'm trying to see if Rooted System within Entangling Roots works with thorn//healing totems. It's not working for me but there's no tooltip information otherwise.

[normal pilot]

does NO 1 handed axe drop? or does EVERY 1h axe drop

[amber void]

depend of the visibility

[plush depot]

Not a single crash since i stopped using lunge

[cunning crow]

Do runes of Ascendance care about item substypes, or just item type?

[dry narwhal]

just item type

[vernal seal]

So, if I wanted to try an entangling roots Spriggan form build, I'd want to put less points into Spiritwhisperer and Valetide so that Entangling Roots procs more frequently... yes?

Seems like an odd interaction, if I'm reading those right.

[soft rock]

I'm running the game at high-ultra settings, high fps no stutter and I just got into monoliths and I'm stuttering often/got a few sec hangs once on a #number of waves monolith.

Is this normal for anybody else?

Guess I have to drop some settings down, I hope it's not some background calculation lol

[dark stratus]

what is the mech for lightless arbor boss entangling roots?

is there no way to dodge it at all?

seems like it does multiple ticks

[crude jewel]

how does freeze rate works if it says 46 or something like that? how do i know which stats freeze for example 50% of the time or even 100% or something like that?

and where do i see my overall freeze rate number? i only find frostbite chance and freeze rate multiplier

[floral badge]

There’s some math behind how freeze rate works. The ingame guide explains it.

[crude jewel]

which ingame guide?

[floral badge]

Press G ingame. Search for freeze rate.

[crude jewel]

theres nothing in it with freeze rate

and on freeze its the same text as lastepoch tools site and that also dont explain where the overall freezerate stands

or is there no freeze rate overall number and its a fixed number for each spell???

[crude jewel]

again i know that text it dont explain the question i asked

[crude jewel]

^

[red flume]

Can uniques be traded?

[floral badge]

To have a chance to freeze, a skill must have a freeze rate. Most Cold skills have a freeze rate, which is listed on their tooltips.

[crude jewel]

still not helping if you over and over copy the same, just dont answer if you cant explain a new player stuff from different angle, ty for nothing

reddit first time helped me more

[floral badge]

Each skill has it's own freeze rate. If it doesn't list one, it can't freeze.

[normal pilot]

It’s normal, the game is very badly optimized

When mob density goes up it tanks my 3090 rig from 120 fps to 40

[soft rock]

Hehe ye

Hope it improves when the game launches 🙏

I for one respect the devs for building this game on unity engine from 1989 as all good arpgs are

Is anyone suddenly getting crippling lag in online mode?

I'm at 40-45ms ping and things are usually fine outside of the odd rubberbanding when using movement abilities, but in the last half hour the game is pretty much unplayable

[crude jewel]

nope not atm

[restive wasp]

Weird. Every other game is fine... Last Epoch is the only one lagging. Unfortunate.

[crude jewel]

you could for testing purpose put all graphics to ultra low and see if it change anything

also if you havnt already, even if other games work fine, restart whole pc

@spice crane Yep. Most of the stuff you are getting at lower levels is super common so don't worry too much about blowing through it

with that being said make sure you are always picking up the shards you see

[agile lodge]

Does the "100% chance to cleanse ailments on potion use" belt mod also cleanse stun? Can you even use potions while stunned?

Stun isn't on the list of ailments so I'd assume not.

[still trench]

I'm playing from EU but the game put me on US East, is there any way I can affect this?

Not without a VPN currently. It's planned to be able to change, but nyi

It's just strange because usually it puts me on EU servers but not today

[agile lodge]

Do attributes add flat damage or % damage to skills that scale with them?

[violet vector]

hi guys, sry for asking this, how is the best way to get corruption? doing fast orobos boss or just taking a long line before doing it for more corruption?

[sick yacht]

%, normally 4%

[sick yacht]

More corruption. I generally aim for ~15-16 just from the web, but also kill the quest boss for gaze stacks to get more. Push up one mono before doing others to get the "bonus" corruption as a catch up mechanic for the others

[violet vector]

yea but i mean on the same monolith, how is the best? to keep reseting the web fast or just doing more stability before resetting it

[agile lodge]

Do the odds of getting the rarer unique mono boss drops increase at higher corruption or from empowered monos?

[sick yacht]

As I said above, push out the web to get to 15-16.

[violet vector]

thank you, so minimum 15-16

[sick yacht]

Yes, corruption is magic find in other games. Empowered start at 100 corruption

Regular monos cap at 50 corruption

[karmic wharf]

Is there every possibility to have critical strike chance, critical damage multiplier and bleed change on hit to appear on swords?

How do I go into Empowered monolith timelines ?

[oak star]

Hi guys new player here - how do I remove my account name above my character?

[charred glade]

Need to complete the last 3 level 90 monoliths. Once that’s completed, you will get an option to run monolith as empowered lvl 100, or normal

[velvet hollow]

Ok I see. Lets say I wanna grind for a specific item. I cant get it unless im on empowered timeline? or Its just gives it a higher change to get it ?

[stone granite]

You cannot

[stone granite]

Higher corruption means more uniques drop(assuming you need a unique), empowered starts at 100 corruption.

[woeful dune]

whats the easiest way to farm exalted staffs?

[charred glade]

Run echo nodes that grant exalted item rewards. Increase corruption

[woeful dune]

is there any specific area that would be better to farm ?

ive gone onto the one that rewards staffs wands etc and it just constantly rewards unique or set items which i dont need

[sick basalt]

how do you deal with lagon

he freaking follows me with one shot mechanic

and i am at the corner

i cant even jump through it

[faint cape]

Dungeons are really the best place to farm exalted items, but might be buggy for you

[woeful dune]

which dungeon? I actually have not touched them yet

[faint cape]

Don't stay in the corner, his sweeping beam thing is super slow

I'm pretty sure it's temporal sanctum, but soulfire bastion isn't terrible either

[woeful dune]

is this the gamlbling thing or drops as well? sorry i have no idea how they work

[faint cape]

Soulfire does have the soul gambler at the end who can give exalted items, but mostly it's through drops and door choice effects

[woeful dune]

ok i will give it a try thanks

[faint cape]

If you are lucky, the daily bonus in T3 or T4 sanctum will give you a drop rate boost

[woeful dune]

its saying its purple rings

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, and don't forget to get the empowered staff drop rate blessing from blood frost death

[woeful dune]

yeah i have that thanks

[faint cape]

Oof, ah well, the doors you select between zones can give you boosts, but it's rng

[sleek sluice]

Increase to wand drop would that Alsoo affect drop rate of a unique wand or would that only be affected by unique drop rate blessing

[woeful dune]

do you want to kill absolutely everything? even T1 and T2? or get to T3 and 4 asap?

[faint cape]

Yes, that will affect unique/set wands as well

[faint cape]

Definitely not in T1 or T2. Only T3 or T4, and I might even say only worry much about full clearing when you have a good bonus

So, either a good daily bonus (that doesn't affect just the boss) or just the second zone when the door to it grants a bonus for something you want

[woeful dune]

ok i iwll give it a try thanks for the help

guessing drop rate is higher in T4 then

[copper spruce]

Trying to get " hands of judgment " but even tho i need over 15 nodes of gloves got a lot of sht but none of those anyone knows if there is a problem with it ? or am I just too lucky for a common drop XD »

[spark drum]

Currently have 3

[next crag]

What should I do with the duplicate Unique?

[faint cape]

Just RNG

[faint cape]

Either keep it if it's better than what you have, or trash it

[rotund timber]

are sorcerers the only fire casters?

[faint cape]

No. Sentinel, acolyte, and primalist all have access to fire spells.

[wooden spade]

Hey so when I have a 1 lp and I want for example a 70% Inc minion on it, can I use the exsalted, try to seal the Inc minion damage and then destroy all other affixes and then have a 100% chance, that my unique gets the minion damage ?

[restive wasp]

Are some affixes level locked? I am level 56 on my Sorcerer currently clearing up the story monoliths, but I haven't seen a single +1 to Static Orb or +1 to Flame Ward prefix.

[acoustic thicket]

is there a trading chat here ?

[spark drum]

!trade

[ripe brook]

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

[spark drum]

tl;dr not yet implemented

[faint cape]

Nope, actually can't do any of those things. You can only seal T4 or lower affixes, sealed mods are ignored when legendary crafting, and the exalted item needs 4 non-sealed affixes

[faint cape]

Yes, but also some are just rare. Not sure the level req on those

[wooden spade]

Ok thx so when I forge a unique with a exalted, it’s completely random which one I get on the unique ?

[faint cape]

Yes, for 1 LP it's 25% chance to get the exact one you want

[restive wasp]

@faint cape Sorry to keep asking questions, but I'm still new and love picking the brains of more experienced players in games I like.

I was just wondering how strict my loot filter should be once I hit monoliths

I'm always too scared I'll miss loot lol

[wooden spade]

Omg thx

I used a strict one when I’m gearing up a char and ex and uniques always on works pretty good imo

And set for sure

[bleak vine]

Any rare loot you miss, you will find better exalted ones sooner or later

[faint cape]

No worries, that's what this channel is for! I usually go by feel and tweak my filter as I go. When I start noticing items are appearing that I just never see any value in grabbing, I tighten up my filter

[restive wasp]

True, but the gap in finding those exalts is usually a problem for me. I played one other build before this one and I found only about two exalts that were worth a damn for my build before I decided to try sorc

Character got all the way to level 79 or so (offline) before I decided to make a new one (online).

[vague badge]

sometimes my druid maul that has fury tree abilities doesn't summon any vines even though I have maxed out the two skill nodes that make spawning 100%, is this a known bug?

[bleak vine]

What I personally do is:

• hide all item bases I don't use
• show all exalted/set/unique
• hide all normal/magic/rare
• recolor items with important affixes

As long as the recolor rule on top, and hide rule on bottom, it will still show the rare items with good affixes

Even if you don't use the items, you need to shatter them to get the affix shards

[cobalt pumice]

please someone tell me if i am doing something wrong, because i m going crazy here.

12 arena keys in for champion arena (tier2) and i ONLY get the rogue champion (crimson something).

i am trying to farm the sentinel champion boots but i havent even seen the champion yet..

[carmine loom]

oh oof is that backpack still up, or is it too late

[pastel pebble]

@carmine loom are you asking if its still available to get? If so its available to those who purchased pre-0.9

Its usable to those users rn and equippable

[merry cloud]

Do most paladins run sigils of hope? testing out swapping sigils for judgement. I think I like judgement more but I'm worried ill miss the increased dmg from sigils

[carmine loom]

oh it says march lmao, we're in april. im stupid, thanks

[pastel pebble]

Its ok, I do that every other day lol

[pastel pebble]

Sigils is a very poweful buff NGL. Usually a Judgement build uses Sigils as well

Both for damage and that enduranc bonus is very nice

[sick basalt]

can someone pls explain to me

what is eternal cache

and what exactly will it do

[dry narwhal]

press G and look up legendary items

[fickle sparrow]

Did they just buff lp drop rate or something

[dry narwhal]

nope, just rng

[fickle sparrow]

I been getting hella 1 and 2 lp items since Friday

[merry cloud]

I guess my issue with sigils really is mana. I'm gonna spec. sigils for now and maybe ill find some gear to keep that mana up

holy aura, holy trail, sigils, smite goin good so far

[dry narwhal]

judgement definitely wouldnt solve mana problems lol

you want sigils auto casting on kill and then for bosses cast your sigils, then volatile reversal to get all your mana back

[merry cloud]

oh man that voltile reversal skill I ran that for a bit, it didnt sync right with my brain.

[dry narwhal]

one of the best skills in the entire game

[merry cloud]

May need to try it again an get used to it

is auto cast a skill point or there a gear drop that makes it auto cast?

[dry narwhal]

skillpoint

its a one pointer i think called last wish or something

[merry cloud]

Oh there it is I see it 🙂

[dry narwhal]

it procs a lot

[merry cloud]

I thnk I can spec mana efficiency on it an help alot with it auto casting

[sly pier]

is cdr better than health as a second suffix for boots? first being hybrid health

[faint cape]

If you don't need the extra survivability and CDR allows you to go faster, then take the speed every time

[vague badge]

if you arent dying, everything into clear speed stats

[faint cape]

@gusty cliff A shade at 200 corruption gets 100% more health and damage, which is the same as having double its base stats. A shade at 1000 corruption gets 500% more health and damage, which is the same as having 6 times its base stats. Whether or not it is actually giving base stats is not relevant here.

If you then put a 100% increased damage echo mod on the shade, it'll have 4 times total damage at 200c or 12 times total damage at 1000c

[gusty cliff]

Base stats is not moving, it's the litteral definition of BASE stats

Base stats doesn't include more or increased

it's BASE

What is hard to understand ?

100% more on 50 base is way more at the end of the math than 100% on 25 base.

My question is and remains : Shade 200 without anything has equal stats than Shade 1000 without affixes, or not.

Yes / No and why, pretty simple

[bitter belfry]

guys ım doing all stability quests but ım stuck at lvl 60 monoliths how can ı upgrade this monolith level ?

[jade hemlock]

Could it be that druids "Barrage of the swarm" is bugged? itsays directly after a roar my turn to human turns to swarm call, turning me into the swarm form summoning a locust for every stunned enemy around. i just ran into 10 mobs, stunned them with riar, then used swarm call and not a single locust in sight

[faint cape]

No, it won't have equal stats because corruption applies more health and damage.

its base stats will be identical though because it is still level 100

[snow fossil]

Anyone know how to fix the rubberbanding in eu west?

[faint cape]

Do you have swarmblade form unlocked yet? It won't work without that. Also it's possible to remove the stun from roar by converting to cold or halving its cooldown. If neither of those is causing the problem, then sounds like a bug

[gusty cliff]

See, we getting there, now i just need a source on that since Mike said : " Corruption does what it says it does and gives a more modifier. " implying that the Corruption does what it says : " Corruption increases item rarity, experience gained, monster health, monster damage, and how much Timeline Stability echoes give. " AND gives a more modifier so to me the wording says " Corruption increase everything THEN add a modifier "

Short question is : Does the Corruption also keep increasing base stats or the base stats are maxed once level 100.

[faint cape]

Ah, I think that's where the confusion is. The in-game description of corruption is actually misleading in that is says it "increases monster health and damage". The actual effect of corruption is shown by the purple skull on your echo web, and it applies 0.5% more health and damage per point.

the other effects granted by corruption are all increases, but the health and damage are more multipliers

[faint cape]

The base stats are still maxed at 100, but "more" is applied separately from the increases given by echo modifiers

[gusty cliff]

So if we follow this, a Shade full affixes at 200 corruption should be as difficult as a 1000 without any affixes right ?

[hidden belfry]

Basically does corruption adds base stats on top of adding %more health/damage ?

[gusty cliff]

I'm doing super high Shade ATM and it feels like it's not the case, what explains that.

[faint cape]

Depends on what affixes you apply to it, a shade at 200c is double health/damage and 1000c is 6x health/damage before you account for echo mods

[gusty cliff]

A shade with tons of increase damage at 200 is easily tankable while a 1000 shade is not even tankable at all.

1000 with 0 affixes ofc.

that's kinda why i asked in the "ask the devs" tbh

[faint cape]

To have the shade at 200c deal the same damage as a 1000c shade, you'd need to stack 200% increased damage on it, which is pretty unusual

[gusty cliff]

cos WE can't know that

I did a 200c shade with 300 increased and 200 hp

it was the easiest thing in my life

while at my current 850c shade, i'm getting one shot with 0 modifiers applied to it

[acoustic thicket]

Hi guys. Any updates on Julra ? Is she dropping items now?

[faint cape]

She hasn't been fixed yet

[faint cape]

Keep in mind the shade fights themselves have a lot of RNG on them, since the shade has randomized skills - some of them are really rough

[gusty cliff]

I'm kinda aware i have 2 characters @840+ C atm in online

Still don't change the way i see and feel it

that's why i'm asking the question again and again to get an answer from staff who could actually see the datas

[faint cape]

Well, the math is the math, and the devs have been really open about exactly how it functions

[gusty cliff]

Well not to me for now

[faint cape]

if you think there might be a bug in the calculation, you might try reporting it

[gusty cliff]

Yes base is increased by area level, yes corruption gives %more damage and hp but no we still don't have answer if the corruption adds BASE damage to mobs and bosses

cos it feels like it

[faint cape]

Mike did answer that corruption only gives what it says, more health and damage

[gusty cliff]

well read again

[faint cape]

"Corruption does what it says it does and gives a more modifier."

[gusty cliff]

So what the AND says ?

and is additive to me

so corruption doing what it does then add a more modifiers after it

means corruption increase base stats then add a more modifiers in top of it

[faint cape]

it's possibly not completely accurate language, but it just means that the more modifier is what it says

that is, the only actual effect corruption has on monsters is the stats by the purple skull

[rugged sinew]

corruption only applies a more modifier

[faint cape]

it does also affect the magnitude of echo modifiers by some amount, but we're talking about shades with no modifiers on

[gusty cliff]

and that's why i asked in the ask the devs, cos cool you all saying this but it's not clear from the devs

i could show one of my Shade kill at 900 corruption with 0 modifiers being super hard and a 200 full affixes being super easy, sorry but doesn't make sense to me

and yes im stubborn

[rugged sinew]

you can test it in offline p easily
you get a character to empowered echos
go into the first monolith node (one without damage modifiers)
get hit by a mob a couple times, write down the damage numbers
go into your game files, edit to 0 corruption
get hit by the same mob a couple times again write down the numbers
go into your files and repeat for 200 corruption 400 corruption, 800 corruption

you need to get hit a couple times because there is damage variance on a hit

[buoyant trench]

Been messing with Necromancer minion builds, been enjoying them but I want something more involved. Would a forge master build do the trick?

[faint cape]

You'd also need to be sure you're getting hit by the same monsters, sounds a bit hard to get good numbers on

[soft rock]

What are the XP penalties like in this game? I can't seem to find this info anywhere...

Not for dying I meant for playing high levels zones as low level and such

[faint cape]

There aren't any, you just don't get any faster for being more than 10 levels below the area level

[rugged sinew]

i recommend trying summon bear or summon sabertooth beastmaster

[faint cape]

This is really just shade RNG probably

[soft rock]

Okay so for optimized XP gain I should at least make sure the zone I'm running is maximum 10 levels above me?

[buoyant trench]

@rugged sinew Interesting, I do want to mess around with a Primalist sooner or later, was thinking Druid, but I'll check that build out.

[gusty cliff]

Sorry not editing any files to test anything, i tested in online and to me it is what is is, thanks tho

[faint cape]

I'd say just run as high level content as you can comfortably, it's not too important

[rugged sinew]

though you get a lot more exp once you hit empowered monos

since they have a big % exp modifier on them

[soft rock]

Ahhh true

Thanks fellas

[white cypress]

Does "Increased Poison damage" increase the poison damage applied by your pets?

[rugged sinew]

no

[faint cape]

If you feel like it's bugged, then submit a bug report and they'll do their thing

[rugged sinew]

only thing that affects minions is if it has "minion" in the modifier name

[white cypress]

are minion applied poison stacks and personal poison stacks separate on the target?

[faint cape]

They are all shown under one stack icon, but every stack is separate from all others

[rugged sinew]

no they show up as 1 stack, but each poison already does it's damage independently

[white cypress]

ty :)

[vague badge]

is there any hidden points/slots that wont be shown here until I discover them? Im on chapter 8 I think of the story and hoping I didnt miss any so far

[spark drum]

There are more quests that reward them but they won't benefit you

[vague badge]

what all is account wide? any character power stuff?

[dense root]

stash and gold are shared between characters

nothing else is

[red otter]

so questions I know there is alot of videos and guides on how to make a filter but the issue I am having is when I add affixes to stuff I just dont know what to narrow it down to for leveling if that makes sense currently I am a rogue so I am trying to figure out like show only Rare gear and above with at least 2 of these stats

[dense root]

oh also crafting materials sorry

[red otter]

it is just what stats

[eager mauve]

Hi can anyone tell me if i should transfer shards or leave them in my stash?

[spark drum]

Jesus Christ you stash them?

Transfer them all to the forge immediately

[eager mauve]

why not auto do that? i figured there would be a reason ^^

[spark drum]

Because the devs are stubborn basically

[eager mauve]

i see ty

[spark drum]

They want you to realize they are valuable

But after about 5 minutes we get it

[eager mauve]

would make sense if they are tradeable

[spark drum]

They aren't and never will be

[woeful dune]

does anyone know if the drops on the stolen lance are from mobs as well or is it just for completing nodes?

[eager mauve]

great game so far though, really enjoying it, ill let them off :3

[woeful dune]

im trying to get a exalted staff but the nodes only drop set or uniques wondering if im better going elsewhere

[crude jewel]

the main questline is only one straine so i dont need to click any other !-side-quest if i follow that one right? to reach the end

[faint cape]

If it's a boss drop or blessing, it's only from the boss. Otherwise, the only exclusive thing is the "unique or set X" echoes that can generate

[woeful dune]

i tried the dungeons btw father was really good but hella buggy need abreak from it

[spark drum]

The mono-specific uniques? Other than boss loot they can drop anywhere.

[rugged sinew]

If multiple conversions apply to a skill like smite to lighting and smite to void, how does that work? is it 50/50? is it the same for all skills?

[woeful dune]

ok so with that being a main spawn for nodes on the stolen lance do you think i should farm another area instead in hope i get more nodes for what i need?

[faint cape]

Yeah, sadly the dungeons are quite buggy still... hopefully they get fixed soonish

[woeful dune]

as in it only ever spawns unique/set staves

[spark drum]

Get to empowered monos first before farming

[faint cape]

One of them takes priority, just depends on the skill. Conversions from items are pretty much always highest priority

[woeful dune]

im 148 corrupt currently working on it

[faint cape]

stuff that converts a % can add up though, like fireball's lightning conversion

[red otter]

is dancing blade still bugged

[faint cape]

I think they might've fixed that one

[spark drum]

Don't worry about pushing corruption in uncorrupted monos unless you legit can't do higher levels

[faint cape]

Yeah, exalted staves have the same drop rate in all timelines

[rugged sinew]

you can't get to 148 in non-empowered so i'm p sure he is in empowered

[woeful dune]

ok thanks for the help so i may as well go somewhere where i can farm a better blessing % i need then ?

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's what I'd do

[woeful dune]

makes sense

thank you mate you have been a big help

[faint cape]

I can't stand doing the same dungeon on repeat very long even when they aren't buggy lol

[woeful dune]

yeah same and these ones are crazy hard to get a grip of your clear path

with it being up down world like stranger things my heads like wtf where am i where have i been and what am i even doing

its a really cool idea though just need refining as it seems to just bring the bugs out

[faint cape]

Completely agree, if I could just blast through without fiddling and backtracking so much, it'd probably be much more manageable to chain farm

[woeful dune]

yeah cool idea but gets tedious real quick unfortunately

[rugged sinew]

when boss loot

[woeful dune]

there is just no sense of direction at all then you just end up going back on yourself so much but in the other realm clearing 2 dungeons in 1 essentially tbh its probably more my fault for just switching off and zoning out running around not keeping track of what im doing

@faint cape how good is the soulfire dungeon in comparrison ?

or even lightless?

[rugged sinew]

i've found boss doors are usually in the same general direction
like in temporal sanctum you spawn at the "bottom" and the doors are "top right" and "top left"

so you can just run through

[faint cape]

I think those are a little easier to run through since you don't have the time swap mechanic

[woeful dune]

yeah but you want to clear the elites when you have a good loot buff so getting to the doors does not matter as much

can i still expect a lot of ex drops ? im gonna try them now anyway

[faint cape]

trying to full clear enemies in two different eras is really rough

[rugged sinew]

yeah

[woeful dune]

i could just be imagining this as well but im sure they respawn?

amount of times i ran back over areas i had been and there was new packs there

[faint cape]

yeah, especially in soulfire I think still drops a decent amount - lightless you might have to spend gold to get a lot of exalts (but it does also drop more gold than normal)

[rugged sinew]

the temporal sanctum one doesn't remember your minimap tho when you switch eras so knowning where you've been is kinda easy tho

[woeful dune]

ok i have so many keys to burn anyway so ill stick at the dungeons for now they seem way more friendly with ex drops

[faint cape]

I don't think they respawn, but each era has a set of enemies, and I think some enemy types might be able to time swap also

[rugged sinew]

yeah but boss loot bugged :(

[woeful dune]

boss loot for soul dung?

[rugged sinew]

yeah some nagasa can timeswap

yeah i'm not dropping any uniques in any of the t4 dungeons from the bosses

same for a lot of people

[woeful dune]

im not after uniques tbh

and that boss at end of temp just destroys me atm cant even kill it

[faint cape]

oof, I had only heard about Julra's uniques getting bugged, that's rough

[woeful dune]

in t4 anyway

t3 is fine

what classes you 2 playing?

[rugged sinew]

lich

[woeful dune]

nice thinking of trying that myself once i have a few more of the legos playing cold dot wearbear atm and i can already sense that im just going to get a to a point and the class wont be able to progress and bosses take ages

[rugged sinew]

channeled necrotic wandering spirits atm
it's really nice for farming
only need to press 1 button

but damage and tankyness isnt the best

[woeful dune]

was looking at shadow dagger as well

whats the strat with this soul dung do ijust get to the end asap or clear the packs as well?

[rugged sinew]

soulfire you wanna kill stuff

every mob you kill drops things that you can spend on the soul gambler at the end

[woeful dune]

is there different doors for buffs or is it just get what your given?

[rugged sinew]

2 doors

sometimes i only get 1

[woeful dune]

ok so im at the gambler and its just 1 item each run im guessing?

as i chose staff and it disappeared

[rugged sinew]

no it's based on how much currency you pick up from the mobs

and it should appear in your inventory

like the regular gambler

[woeful dune]

yeah i got an exalted proc

but i can pick staff again its gone from the vender

cant*

[rugged sinew]

yeah

can't do same item twice

[woeful dune]

gotcha

how many souls you get per run just so i know what to spend?

roughly anyway

[rugged sinew]

but there might be multiple staves and such

based on daily bonus

no clue, but if you can fullclear you can buy quite a lot, but not all

you usually want to focus on the items you need tho

and the ones where you get soul gambler only uniques

glove and amulet

[woeful dune]

ok just wanted to make sure i would have enough for the weapon each time

ty saved me a lot of time figuring it out lol

[faint cape]

also relic

[rugged sinew]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/dungeons/soulfire-bastion/soul-gambler-uniques

yeah

[faint cape]

I swapped from a clearspeed bear to vinebear at some point, has better single target and also happens to support other players if you play in a group ever

[woeful dune]

vinebear?

whats the dmg like? i also saw some tornado lightning bear looks pretty crazy

[faint cape]

Really just waiting for them to fix cold locust swarm, and then I'll respec into that immediately lol, but in the meantime I also made a ghost maker necro and it was really fun

[vernal seal]

With Roots of Vithrasil, does the increased damage while in Spriggan form apply to pets and whatnot as well? Or only your own damage?

[faint cape]

The damage I think is pretty decent, I'm sure it's not the highest single target in the game, but it's definitely passable and has a lot of utility/tankiness (talking about vinebear)

[rugged sinew]

only you

[woeful dune]

whats the clear speed like then as im still mainly trying to fly through and get gear quickly

but yeah i think i will need to change spec at least when things get tougher

[faint cape]

it's really pretty good, although I end up having to backtrack to pick up drops, since I run past enemies before they die

so not as good as cold DOT bear for actually getting the loot in a timely manner lol

[mighty mango]

best mono to farm?

[woeful dune]

you got a link or anything for it ?

to a build i mean so i can check it out

[faint cape]

Whichever gives you what you need, at level 100 of course

[red otter]

what does no attack speed scaling mean when trying to unlock a talent

[spark drum]

It means your attack speed stat doesn't make it faster

[faint cape]

This is the planner I've been using for my build, though I'm using dual axes for now instead of bastion: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ZA8kJOyo

other people may have made better ones though

[red otter]

in my case though it wont even let me take the skill

and i have points

[vague badge]

this means I could only get 1 modifier from an item when combining it right?

[faint cape]

Right

[karmic flint]

Does CDR affect this ability from the Unique 2handed mace ?

[faint cape]

No, only stuff you can put on your skillbar

[woeful dune]

ty

[cinder sonnet]

anything that can be done about infinite loading screen on co-op? is relogging faster than waiting ?

[woeful dune]

this is probably a stupid question but im in the soul dung says when buying an item from vendor if rare will have a random T2 affix is this just for rare no exalted as well?

[faint cape]

I'm almost certain that won't apply to exalted items

[ornate horizon]

The game is more traditional aRPG right? So the build is defined by skills you pick, not by sets/legendaries you find like D3/D4

[faint cape]

It's a mix of both, imo

[ornate horizon]

Mmm, maybe to clarify what I mean, the items won't be changing how your spells work

[soft rock]

Some do

[ornate horizon]

Ohh, really?

Okay 😄

[woeful dune]

thats a great name lol

[clear topaz]

hey all, dumb question -- will our character progress in beta carry over to live? or how will that work?

[woeful dune]

thought so was just checking

[ornate horizon]

Does anyone have examples of items like that?

[soft rock]

Not the most build changing I think but still drastic gameplay change

[ornate horizon]

Thank you!

I like that it is a mix of both then

[faint cape]

There are no planned wipes, so your stuff will carry over to the 1.0 update and beyond. If you choose to participate in the seasons/leagues called cycles, those are a fresh start for each

[soft rock]

Yeah no, most uniques just make you better at what you were doing, rarer ones are usually the build changing ones.

[ornate horizon]

Gotcha

[clear topaz]

@faint cape much appreciated. I'm fairly new to ARPG's. What is the benefit of doing 'cycles'? if they wipe

[ornate horizon]

how is the MP? Is it rather stable?

[soft rock]

How are the devs in this game when it comes to patches? Like my build isn't using a bugged mechanic it's just using one of the arguably powerful archetypes this patch (ward generation).

Do they often do drastic nerfs or do they give people time to at least enjoy things lol.

[faint cape]

They don't wipe - when the cycle ends, your stuff in that cycle gets merged into the permanent mode. The benefit is just starting fresh and participating in cycle leaderboards/races, and they'll always coincide with some game update, so you'll have new stuff to try out at the same time

not everyone enjoys starting fresh, so it's just a preference thing

[clear topaz]

ah ok, that's interesting

[pastel pebble]

Patches and fixes are fairly frequent. We had a ton post-0.9 and AFAIK they don't do many strong nerfs. They want to let people feel powerful but they do want to keep a certain balance to it all

[faint cape]

If it's bugged, they fix the bug. If it's just overly powerful, they tend to hit it a little at a time

[merry aspen]

The only time I've seen them nerf something in a hotfix was ashes of immortality, which also generated (a lot of) ward. So not very commonly at all.

[faint cape]

Yeah, that one was brokenly powerful on release lol, people were maintaining literally hundreds of thousands of ward

[ornate horizon]

Gonna repeat before it geets burried ^_^

[faint cape]

even then, they changed it about 3-4 times before it got to where it is now

[faint cape]

It's been really stable for me, but depending on your region, you may have a different experience

[clear topaz]

so I set some loot filters to show only items for my class but I keep seeing items for others. Did I forget to toggle an option?

[faint cape]

If you set it to hide the others, I think it only goes based on actual requirements, so it'll only hide things you are completely unable to equip

[ornate horizon]

Got it, I am from Europe if it helps

[clear topaz]

ah ok

[faint cape]

I have heard of troubles in some parts of Europe, though I know they've fixed a lot since then. It was super unstable for a few days on release, but since then I've had almost no trouble. Hopefully same will be true for your area

[spark drum]

Chance to try out the new mechanics on a new build in a new economy

[ornate horizon]

thank you so much

[clear topaz]

thanks @spark drum

[spark drum]

If that doesn't excite you then just stick to the main server

As I understand it any new cycle content will be there as well

Not like PoE where the only way to experience leagues is in the league server

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, I forgot about the economy aspect - trade will be in the game at that point, and it can be easier to compete in the economy when it's refreshed

[ornate horizon]

Is the story fully finished or not yet actually?

[spark drum]

Still 3? chapters to go IIRC

[faint cape]

There are 3 chapters left to go

[ornate horizon]

Ah, gotcha

[faint cape]

I also strongly suspect that the value of gold will very rapidly deflate based on the info we know about trading, which may make it hard to get started trading in the permanent game, so the economy refresh will be super important

[merry aspen]

By deflate do you mean that good items will be incredibly expensive so that the amounts most people have will not hold much value?

[faint cape]

Yeah exactly, you'll need huge amounts of gold to buy anything worthwhile

at least, in theory lol

[merry aspen]

But don't you think prices will have to be within bounds of what is obtainable by players? Else, who is going to buy the items?

[vague badge]

any other druid players have a problem with werebear maul not spawning any vines occasionally even with 100% vine spawn in fury leap?

[merry aspen]

reasonably attainable I should say

[faint cape]

Sure, but the longer the permanent mode goes on, the higher that gets

[merry aspen]

Ah very true

[faint cape]

the thing that I suspect will cause this effect is items are not re-tradeable, so supply will continue to stay low, while the gold will never be spent by anything other than lightless arbor, stash tabs, etc.

[old marten]

would ignite caused by minions by affected by https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsCYDZKA ? both the leach and the fire penetration

[faint cape]

No, only minion stats apply to minions

[old marten]

so i wont get health back from the damage they do?

[faint cape]

No, and if you were to give minions leech, they'd get that health for themselves

[old marten]

i see, thank you

[crude jewel]

the main questline is only one straine so i dont need to click any other !-side-quest if i follow that one right? to reach the end

[shell hound]

am I missing something? says fire damage benefits this spell but its Necrotic?

[spark drum]

Just the yellow ones

Is there a conversion node or something?

[rugged sinew]

there is a fire conversion node

and a fire conversion item

for hungering souls

[shell hound]

ah I see! cheers guys

[shell hound]

where is this info taken from?

[spark drum]

Lastepochtools.com

[shell hound]

ta

[serene epoch]

hi guys some build of warpath void for high corruptions?

[soft rock]

I just added a lootfilter rule to 'Hide all items' but stuff is still showing. When I make it 'Hide all Common, Magic, Rare items' then it works

Is this intended?

Was following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXh4KFgaBEU&t=753s&ab_channel=Dr3adful

I know as long as the rule is at the bottom its not hiding stuff I want but shouldnt Hide All just hide all lol

[woeful dune]

if you only had 40% void resistance and you had an option to put on hybrid health or max the void what would you do?

as in what am i actually going to gain more from as voids obviously a constant issue with mono content

[quiet sandal]

Imo hybrid. Many other places to get void res. Hybrid health should always be a priority on boots belt and gloves

[dry narwhal]

Yeah you can get a blessimg easy

[pliant harbor]

what "stuff"?

[soft rock]

Like common items

White items

[pliant harbor]

You able to stream your filters?

[soft rock]

I'm literally copying what he has in the video 😛

Look at his last rule

Bottom

[pliant harbor]

You must first hide everything before starting to use filters.

Game shows ALL by default

@soft rock My first 3 bottom filters are...

[soft rock]

Yeah I had my bottom filter setup to "HIDE ALL ITEMS" like he has in the video. I am just confused as to why I'm still seeing white items

[lusty perch]

Hi, new to the game. Anyone else have this problem with loading into the game and dying? I cannot for the life of me load into fighting Remains of the Emperor boss alive. It just says I keep dying to something and I have to respawn outside of the boss fight, so I’m stuck in a perpetual loop

[final coral]

You probably have a filter above it showing them again.

[pliant harbor]

@soft rock Got to step away for a few, but if you have your file filter, I can take a look at it to see why it broke.

[soft rock]

Just got busy with something, I'll post a pic in like an hour or so. Thanks.

[pliant harbor]

Not pic, the actual file of your filter, they are save locally on your computer. If you share it, someone else can load it and check it out

[velvet hollow]

Is dexterity good for me? Im going for Reign of winter bowmage marksman Lizard_irl build

[pliant harbor]

C:\Users\ -username- \AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Filters

[floral badge]

@soft rock If you have exactly what is in the video at the timestamp you linked... The first rule is "show all items", followed by "hide all items". Rules are processed top to bottom, and stop at the first match. Since the first rule shows all items... Nothing will ever be hidden.

[pliant harbor]

@soft rock Ping me when you are ready to share the file used for your filter. Would save a whole lot of time, vs people trying to figure out what you got.

[soft rock]

The first rule is "show all unique/set/exalted"

[sharp void]

I see shards for + (Added) melee crit and + (added) spell crit (weapon prefix), is there no + (Added) crit for bows? I only see Increased Crit...

[dense lynx]

Any abomination users here(necro) I’m currently using wraiths as my fifth mastery slot and just got abomination. Is it worth switching to?

[dry narwhal]

abom is incredibly slow

but a very powerful build

[dense lynx]

Thank you so much for the input. I think I might stay wraiths unless something really does interest me. I just hit lvl 58 so I’m not sure yet how I wanna truly spec until I hit more higher levels

Is there any place you’d recommend farming for mastery levels?

[dry narwhal]

monoliths

[dense lynx]

When I do decide to switch things around

Okay!

[dry narwhal]

by the time you get into empowereed monos you can get a skill from 1 to 20 in like an echo or 2

[dense lynx]

Oh dang that’s wicked!

What level can I do monos? Is that end game?

[dry narwhal]

you already can

[dense lynx]

Oh boy

Here goes the rest of my night 😂

[stark stone]

What should I do with this? The top 3 stats are all extremely useful for my build. What is the best route to get rid of the useless minion spell damage?

[dry narwhal]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-nod-cat-nod-cat-nodding-cute-cat-gif-23793862

[dry narwhal]

rune of removal and pray

[dense lynx]

Godspeed on the rune removal

[merry aspen]

I'd rather chaos it.

[stark stone]

Oh really? Should I not try to seal it first? Or chaos?

[dry narwhal]

oh yeah i guess

also @replies need to get nuked.

[merry aspen]

Don't want me to @ you? 😦

[dry narwhal]

no.

[merry aspen]

😦

[dry narwhal]

i hate my chat changing colors when im looking AT IT

[merry aspen]

I can see that being distracting

[dry narwhal]

trust me if i could turn it off per server i would

[soft rock]

Sorry not sure where to upload the lootfilter itself 😛 I can DM you if you want

But yeah thats the last rule

I dropped a white 2handed axe and it was showing up for some reason

[pliant harbor]

Your recolor exposed all your items meeting those criterias. I assume that's your goal?

[soft rock]

yup

The item color for the white item was just the generic white

[pliant harbor]

@soft rock Just drop it in a DM, i'll check

[zinc anchor]

Since the forging potential is so LOW, I wouldn't chaos it. Up to you though.

[zinc anchor]

I would definitely max void, but i craft a lot. "Hope to get lucky" in the future sounds like a bad plan, also you'll die a lot and be frustrated on the way there lol

[red otter]

is there a reason why you level so quick in this game

I coming from grim dawn so a little slower for sure i feel like

[limpid quiver]

Does anyone know why you have to login while connected to the internet for offline play?

[nocturne rose]

can you not shatter orange items?

also, are uniques andlegendaries the same?

[dense lynx]

Volatile zombie or summon wraiths? Got my summon wraiths to 17 and not sure if I wanna rotate to another mastery skill. Volatile zombie any good?

[vague badge]

does the center node in the relic slot ever unlock?

or idols

w/e they are called

[stone granite]

No

[stone granite]

No you cannot shatter uniques. Uniques that have legendary potential can be turned into legendaries, the in game guide explains this.

[ornate sage]

Are there any builds that can tab out in empowered monos?

[spark drum]

Are you sure you don't just want to play an idle game

[pastel pebble]

I do not believe so. The devs are against allowing passive builds

[nocturne rose]

so the best thing to do with uniques you don't want is it sell them?

[stone granite]

Best thing to do is never pick them up, selling is a waste of time

[elder coral]

can you turn purple stuff into unique ?

[pastel pebble]

With a Rune of Ascendence?

[elder coral]

but you cant upgrade that unique

[stone granite]

nope

[pastel pebble]

Uniques are only upgraded via legendary potential and done so in Temporal dungeon

[elder coral]

I need to watch something on how the whole gear upgrading thing works

[stone granite]

There's just crafting

there's a guide right in the crafting window

[pastel pebble]

You take a unique with Legendary Potential and an Exalted item and plot them info the MacGuffin machine. The machine then inserts the 'fixins from the exalted item onto the unique randomly and only as much as the legendary potential allows

This is all better said in the guide. Press G for that in game

[west vapor]

IS it silly that im holding on to uniques and idols in hopes that when trade opens up they will be of value or should i jus be selling them

[stone granite]

You can't trade any of them

So yeah it's silly

[west vapor]

what do you mean

[elder coral]

Ty all

[pastel pebble]

They're expanding trade later on IIRC

[west vapor]

why wouldnt i be able to trade them when it opens up

[stone granite]

Trade requires faction alignment when the item drops

I doubt you'll be able to trade anything you currently aquire

[west vapor]

are there any unicorn idols that i should be holding onto in case i start other classes later

[lyric vigil]

is there any dps calculator i can use? to see if an item is an upgrade or not

[sick yacht]

Smite on throwing hit sentinel, flame wraith necro, and damage increases over 300 mana for specific element sorc

[west vapor]

i have 2 of the smite ones

i run the golem necro build

but i may do a sentinal later

[fluid eagle]

So I wanted my filter to only show me items of certain bases that have certain affixes, I thought this would work, but it's instead showing all items of the selected bases. Would I have to insert the desired affixes into each and every 'show subtypes of' filters? Seems like an inefficient way of doing this.

[plush kiln]

What does it mean "successful chain cancel will enhance this effect"? Chain cancels while the effect is active or chain cancelling by using the command?

[fluid eagle]

okay I figured out a way, it's to inverse the desired bases instead

works now

[urban spade]

I have to restart my computer in order to get past the "Connecting" screen every single time I play the game... anyone have a fix for this

[burnt hare]

I've been trying to get this thing for the past week and after about 15 "Unique/Set Wand or Catalyst" nodes I haven't had any luck. My corruption is 36 in The Stolen Lance timeline. Any idea what I need to get up to in order to see those nodes a little more often?

[fluid eagle]

empowered timelines start at 100 corruption, it's always recommended to push for them first before target farming anything

[burnt hare]

I guess I've got some work to do! Thank you!

[fluid eagle]

most builds can do 100 corruption pretty well and you'll quickly upgrade your gear (not only uniques) after a few dozen echoes

[stone granite]

What game are you playing?

[plush kiln]

lol. Discord moved servers on me in the list and it went to wrong chat

[clear topaz]

are affix drops completly random? I've been trying to find lightning damage ones but nothing so far

[silk sky]

What is making me lose the +5 points I have on gear in my summon wraith? I'm not unequipping the gear, is it just visual?

[acoustic thicket]

Should i play lich or necromancer ?

[supple linden]

is shield run really rubber bandy for anyone else.

[west vapor]

is there any point in having more than 100%crit strike avoidance

[supple linden]

mobs can get more then 100% chance to crit from modifiers is some instances though I don't think its worth pushing bast 100%

[clear topaz]

can you buy affixes or is it just something you loot randomly?

[west vapor]

always check the shops for gear that has the affixes you need on thhem \

and you can remove them or shatter them

[clear topaz]

oh ok. how do I remove them?

[west vapor]

some are harder to find that others

there is a rune

has red x

[zinc anchor]

You can be crit with 100% crit avoidance? That sounds unintuitive.

So less bonus damage taken from critical hits would always be better, since, ya know, it ALWAYS works

[west vapor]

well see the ingame info on crit avoidance is simply if you have 2% crit avoidance then 20% of crit hits are downgraded to regular hits

so i would think it was a 1:1 challenge roll

[zinc anchor]

Therefore if you have 100% crit avoidance, then 100% of crits are downgraded to regular hits (that's how I'd see that)

[west vapor]

i can see the enemy having more chances to crit meaning im challenged more times against my avoidance stat

but if its 100 or more it seems like i should be immune

I JUST REALLY WANT to get rid of a piece of armor but ive been keeping it on because of its 100% crit avoidance stat

although its really a good piece of armor and maybe i should just keep it

[zinc anchor]

That top from the first monolith boss? Flesh something I think it's called?

[west vapor]

it is not even mentioned in the maxroll about the build

[supple linden]

Replace your chest lol, you have to rip that bandage off eventually unless you have a good lp roll.

[west vapor]

yeah its the first drop i got of a monolith

i think it was a pretty lucky drop

i havnt looked at the drop table

but it seems sorta op

[zinc anchor]

Nah, it's SUPER common drop

[supple linden]

Its a pretty common chest drop that you can get LP on.

[zinc anchor]

I guess it's good if you need life leech but like the top I have gives a top more health, vitality, and INT (which is useful to me) so I just wouldn't see myself ever using that

You can roll 12 INT/VIT/etc. on tops just at T5 so that's pretty nice 😮 Anyway, I'm sure that woven flesh is good if you utilize the life leech

[vague badge]

is there a "burn the world down with unlimited fire" class/build?

[supple linden]

Crit fireball is pretty fun and so is meteor on sorc, pally has some fun fire spells too.

[west vapor]

i really just use the crit avoidance

[tropic geyser]

.

[zinc anchor]

Read this @west vapor : https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/does-crit-chance-100-do-anything/25831/3

100% critical strike avoidance = can't be crit

And it works the same way for mobs, so having more than 100% critical strike chance does nothing as well

[west vapor]

thanks for that

[vivid cloud]

just found this with 3 legendary potential, first time I see that. Is this good for anything?

[spark drum]

Hell yes

That's a GG Cinder Shot bow right there

[deft shadow]

if i take the node on eterra's blessing to give it a chance to aoe heal. will the minions hit by the aoe heal also get the damage buff?

[soft rock]

Does "more damage" from Oceareon also help with damage over time?

[thorn forge]

apathy maw has to be farmed right? cant use rune of ascendance?

[thick mantle]

does frostbite just not scale late game at all?

[zinc anchor]

I once took the max chill and freeze nodes on bone curse and it never chilled or froze, pretty useless. 😕

[thick mantle]

ive got the boots with 1000% freeze rate multiplier

like apply 8-9 stacks of frostbite per hit

so with snowdrift i should be doing basically true damage

and it does no damage

does like 15-20k damage a tick vs the test dummies then like 200-1000 in lvl 100 rifts

[deft shadow]

so im new and found the unique neck the claw, is it worth going all wolves leveling or would i still be better served using wolves + anothe rpet type to level up and specialize

[tropic geyser]

is it possible to save one build? to build another one?

[thorn forge]

no - need new character

[tropic geyser]

uff aight

[thorn forge]

unless its same class

eg paladin paladin]

[tropic geyser]

it is my necro i want to switch some things up skills gear etc

[thorn forge]

yeah u can if it stays necro

use brain vendor and skill respec system

[tropic geyser]

allright thank you

[vivid cloud]

what stats would I put on it though?

[spark drum]

Fire damage, damage over time, fire pen, chance to ignite, stuff like that

Honestly though experiment with a build first and figure out what skills to use and what other items you want to use before crafting on it

[flat grail]

i just got a weapon with 7 affixes is this normal or a bug

[orchid turret]

anyone play flame reave spell blade?

[thorn forge]

its a legendary

normal for that item class

unique*

[flat grail]

okay thanks

[spark drum]

Uniques don't roll affixes, they have what they have

[dusky flicker]

DOES druid have a taunt or agro?

[west vapor]

Should i be running dungeons everytime i have keys or should i just continu doing empowered mono

i have like 10 arena keys, 7 sanctum keys, 2 bastion keys, and 3 arbor keys. i have never used any of them

[spark drum]

Farm till you have like a dozen each would be my advice

Specially since they seem to be busted right now

[forest vapor]

ive read multiple people saying its not reaally worth, just push mono corruption

and hit the dungeons when you want a dungeon specific thing

[west vapor]

thx

[rustic rampart]

is there a Singapore server in this game? I live in SEA and Singapore server is the only one that give me a good connection for online play

[fluid eagle]

does increased damage of skills used by shadows affect shadow daggers?

[rapid talon]

What mastery is able to most easily get into empowered monos?

I want something simple to gear, my bladedancer needs better gear to survive in them

[fluid eagle]

most builds can do them with no problems

my bladedancer got through at around lvl 80, you'll quickly get better gear at empowered monos

[rapid talon]

How much dodge/endurance did you have to make it go smoothly?

[faint cape]

Yeah, a couple I think. Main one is in Warcry spec

[rapid talon]

Rn I'm sitting at 23% evade

[fluid eagle]

cant remember, but my gear wasnt amazing

[faint cape]

No

[fluid eagle]

hmm unfortunate

[fluid eagle]

dont be too intimidated by lvl 100 monos, you'll do them slowly for the first 20 echoes or so but the gear income is way better and you'll quickly upgrade into something better

[forest vapor]

he is correct, i am just doing emp monos for the first time and you just be abit more cautious since more stuff will one shot you now

and then you just end up being cautious on echo nodes you actually care about the rewards for

[native sail]

The two Asia servers are Singapore and Japan iirc

[rustic rampart]

awesome, as long as there is a Singapore server I'm golden. thanks for the reply

[native sail]

They're looking at getting manual server selection since it currently auto connects you to the lowest ping and there's a weird bug that can connect you to the wrong one, but for the majority it's working as intended right now.

[rustic rampart]

letting player manually choose the server they prefer would be huge

[native sail]

Yeah. I'm not sure what the current state on it is but I know it was on their list of things they were keeping an eye on.

[flat grail]

what is special about exalted items?

[native sail]

The purple modifier is higher than you can craft.

[normal pilot]

Nice beard

[west vapor]

LOL THX

[empty wharf]

Is there a fix for infinite loading screens? Every time I try to do the quest echo I get infinite loading screen. But can do all the regular echoes no problem.

[sterile widget]

Try verifying your Steam files

[empty wharf]

Ok. Will do first thing tomorrow.

It is only on one character I have. The others can do them no issue but one character is just bricked up.

[sterile widget]

That's a bit weird.

I'd go with

• verify Steam files
• if offline, check character file
• what was last skill or node you updated on the character and revert it

Good luck 🙂

[empty wharf]

Thanks! Will try and get sorted tomorrow.

[flat grail]

what does this do?

[cinder bear]

Does target farming work in normal monolith as well?

[night sage]

can someone help me with spymaster

[zinc anchor]

You need stability to fight the boss. All maps give a flat amount, then you can get more by killing more mobs.

[west vapor]

is rip blood considered a healing spell that can be boosted by affix to increase healing effectiveness

[austere gulch]

What build is this good for

[sterile widget]

Yup

Intelligence scales healing effectiveness for Rip Blood too 🙂

[acoustic thicket]

do people see your character name in game or just the name you registered with?

[safe harness]

latter

[stone granite]

Builds that use bows and want to do cold damage

[haughty compass]

Is 40% MORE damage alot?

Like for warpath would 40% more be better than 50 flat lol?

[safe harness]

what is your flat damage at?

[haughty compass]

I'm not sure actually

I'm in bed atm

[safe harness]

probably the more damage

[fluid eagle]

soo arcane momentum (sorc passives) says it only stacks up to five stacks but the tooltip ingame stacks up way higher, not sure which one is true

nvm its obviously only up to 5 stacks, so stack counter error

[haughty compass]

Hmmm does anybody know if the more damage on the fire starter torch is still bugged?

[grim current]

any builds worth running with this?

[safe harness]

yes

[restive wasp]

How does one get 3 charges for Flame Ward? Skill is max level for me and it's still at 2 charges

[native sail]

You wear an item that gives you +1 charge

[old marten]

What does people refer to when talking about "potion tech"?
im trying to find the best way to add sustain to a minion build

[woven oracle]

havent played multiplayer yet... just got my necro to 80 does anyone wanna run monos?

[forest vapor]

gee wouldnt it be nice if these boss beam attack hitboxes actually were the size of the beam, and not, you know.. significantly wider... -_-

[jovial ermine]

If I'm gaining every second, does that mean that Ward retention doesn't become a factor?

[old marten]

it is because it will determine how much of it you can sustain

[jovial ermine]

I see

[marble jungle]

Can someone help?
What affixes affect ignite damage among damage over time?

[old marten]

from the top of my head: fire damage, ignite chance, ignite duration, ignite effect, dot, dot duration? , fire dot, elemental damage, elemental dot

there are probably more

[jovial ermine]

How else do I stack Ward Retention? Is it just Int stacking?

[old marten]

Ward retention and int afaik

[cinder sonnet]

does anyone know if the decimate on Gaspar's Will can proc off of the meteor from Harbinger of Stars?

[stark hatch]

has anyone been able to fix the game desyncing every echo? Every single echo I have to relaunch the game

[acoustic thicket]

how do i get someone to party with?

is there an area i need to go in order to play with my friend?

[bold ravine]

Anyone using acuity for arcane ascension in offline mode? Does it have the same issues as online mode?

[neon seal]

Just a clarifying question but if I put "increased bow damage" as an affix, how does that interact, if at all, with ailments? I figured it doesn't interact with those

Also since I wrote this, if an affix says "increased damage" that applies to all damage including ailments right? :D

like this one

[ocean shuttle]

I just got this game, is there a way to autopickup shards?

[acoustic thicket]

No but to make it easier put a filter for just shards and glyphs and make it emphasize the text making the names bigger to click

[lament stirrup]

which stat affects mana regeneration? attunement?
