can someone direct me to what the community guidelines are for the game because this is the only game that does not allow me to use autistic biscuit as ingame name never had an issue before using that name and it refers to sensory toys that are sold

[golden patio]

Hello, I'm trying to connect on the Last Epoch website. I reach the page with the "steam"' connection button. I click, I'm on the steam tab, I click connect there, I'm back on the last epoch website and ... nothing. I'm still on the same steam connection page and I can repeat those steps forever. Any idea what could happen ?

[limpid stratus]

Thinking of reporting this bug (appearing locked when it isn't) but not too sure what to search to check I'm not duplicating

[worn basin]

Will there be a reset of all online characters on the next patch (25 May)? I want to start the game again, but not sure if its the right choice or if I should wait for the reset (if there is one).

A friend told me that there will be leaderboards, so I thought it might come with a reset

[buoyant sinew]

There's no reset from what we've been told

The leaderboards are just for the arena, they will be added to the existing game environment

[bleak bramble]

Will this hide items with T6+ affixes other than the ones selected? I only want to hide items with a bad primary exalted mod like reflect or resists while channeling

[jolly shell]

We’re not getting a reset but after launch we are getting seasonal content you need seasonal characters for.

[austere gulch]

What causes the "hideout" to change to dark all of a sudden

[forest vapor]

sun went down.

[native sail]

No true. You only need to restart if you want to have the fresh economy and leaderboards. All seasonal content will be released on offline and non-seasonal at the same time.

[jolly shell]

For Harbinger of the Stars belt do you need meteor on your skill bar and does it’s tree affect the triggered meteors?

[safe harness]

No and yes

You don’t even have to be a mage to get the meteors

[novel sigil]

what is the best build for sorcerer until the empowered monoliths?

[latent canyon]

Prolly just the standard lightning blast+orb or some sort of glacier

[novel sigil]

im having dificulty to finish the last 3 monolights with the lighting build

monoliths*

[faint cape]

Technically yes. If an item has more than one T6+ affix, it will hide if any are in your list.

[wind mountain]

anyone else get this error when they try to load a new online character?

[crisp kelp]

are Prism Wraps farmed in a certain timeline or are they just dropped as a random reward?

[sinful laurel]

World drop

Can "focus farm" them in the timeline for unique/set chest echoes

[crisp kelp]

oh there are timelines that have a higher chance to have unique/set echoes? didnt know that

which ones are those?

[native sail]

All timelines have certain kinds of unique/set echoes that show up

[sinful laurel]

Deias why do I try to reason with general chat?

[native sail]

Idk

I hid that channel

[sinful laurel]

That's a good idea. It makes me fear for the future of humanity lol

[native sail]

That place gets some wild takes

[cold plaza]

Known bug, but I love it.

[faint cape]

Your mistake was attempting to reason with someone on the internet

[sinful laurel]

Damn it! You're right. Father toast is so wise:)

[crisp kelp]

so now that im in empowered timelines, i no longer have to do all three quest echoes right? just need to get the appropriate stability and then kill the boss?

[sinful laurel]

Correct!

[thin tinsel]

it can be useful to do the optional quest echoes to get rid of modifiers before a boss tho, same goes for beacon echos

[jolly shell]

Yeah. Be careful with speed and deadly mods with boss fights.

[static fog]

What should I do to finish this task?

[jolly shell]

Do map nodes to get stability. On the left side of the monolith map you’ll see special missions you need stability to take on.

Do them. The third one is a boss fight. Unlock the next monolith. Repeat.

[static fog]

Are the missions of the story over?

[static fog]

I guess I've come to the end of the game now, do I just clear the map from here?

[jolly shell]

The main game ends after you kill a snek lady right now

If you got +1 all stats then yeah you’re just doing echoes now

[sinful laurel]

And dungeons

[static fog]

You're talking about a snake woman, right?

[jolly shell]

Yes

[static fog]

okey thank you

[static fog]

from now on i'll just get back to the map here then thanks.

[static fog]

What exactly does it give me to fill out this part?

[buoyant sinew]

exactly what it says, bonus stability. stability is what fills the bar that lets you access quest echoes and timeline bosses

you get a base amount for completing an echo, and then more based on kills

[sinful laurel]

You also get more stuff out of the chest after the echo

[buoyant sinew]

it's generally not worth worrying about though, running to the objective and only killing things on the way is a lot more efficient than trying to fill the bar

[sinful laurel]

This

Unless the echo has a good enemy roll of a lot of good elites

Like raptors, ground scarabs, etc

[static fog]

thank you dudes this community awesome 😄

I want to ask one more question, does it matter which direction you go on these maps?

[sinful laurel]

Some have one way to go, go that way. Some are more open, just luck to find the right way if it's an echo you have to reveal on

[static fog]

Is there a correct way?

Do I have to find the way and go from there?

[sinful laurel]

Wdym? There is always a correct way in that there is an objective and the correct way is the way that gets you to that objective

[buoyant sinew]

if the objective is revealed as soon as you enter just run straight towards it. if it's one of the ones where you have to kill enemies to reveal the objective, pretty much just wander around trying to explore the area as efficiently as possible until you find it

and you'll start to learn the zone layouts eventually with experience, which will help

[faint cape]

Maps are not randomly generated, so you can get to learn the layouts over time. You and the objective(s) spawn in a semi-random area of the level, though

[sinful laurel]

You'll come to hate certain maps lol

[static fog]

I didn't want to talk about the roads in the map. My English is a bit bad, I'm sorry I couldn't explain myself fully.I'm talking about the directions in this picture, does it matter where I go?

[sinful laurel]

Ohhh on the echo web!

Generally

[faint cape]

They do eventually fix the worst offenders, though. I don't hate alpine halls anymore unless I'm playing rampage

[sinful laurel]

Are you in empowered timelines yet?

[static fog]

I couldn't understand what you said.

[buoyant sinew]

the most important thing at the moment is to go far away from the centre

[faint cape]

Oooh yes, on the echo web, farther from the center (start point) has higher rewards

[buoyant sinew]

because the further you move away the better the rewards and more stability you get

[static fog]

then would it be good to go straight up to get away?

[sinful laurel]

That's ok. Generally you want to explore a web as such 1. Pick a direction and go straight out as far as you can 2. Once you hit the end explore an ever widening area from that point. 3. If you clear everything then backtrack a little and pick another line and repeat

[static fog]

Thank you very much for the good information.

[faint cape]

Yes, any direction you like and try to go as straight as possible. You may hit some dead ends, and more often the farther you are

[sinful laurel]

There are more layers to it but don't worry about that for now

[static fog]

okey dudes thanks again

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, and don't feel bad going backward or sideways to get good rewards, like "exalted item" ones. The efficiency gained from going straight is not that dramatic in early monos

[static fog]

Can the blessings I choose be changed later?

[sinful laurel]

yes, just complete the timeline again

[static fog]

thank for the info

[crisp kelp]

what dos the blue bar/circle around each of the blessings represent?

[sinful laurel]

the % of total roll

min>max

[crisp kelp]

oh cool, didnt know there was a visual representation

[sinful laurel]

so...you have some bonkers rolls it looks like

[crisp kelp]

those were all the blessings i got from the normal monolith, i usually just picked em based on the best rolls since i didnt find too many res ones

the one i did find though was a max roll so thats nice lol

[sinful laurel]

ah those are just non empowered rolls, sadge 😦

youll have to do all those again anyways lol

[crisp kelp]

yeah, im working on my first empowered timeline now, i know they're all gonna get replaced was just curious

are there other instances where how something rolled is visually represented like that?

i'm so used to just hitting alt and looking at the text

[sinful laurel]

not that i can think of off the top of my head

[crisp kelp]

but thats a pretty cool addition

[sinful laurel]

yeah its nice

[sick rampart]

does dot skills scales better from dot% than damage-type% multipliers?

[sinful laurel]

depends on the dot

[faint cape]

Exactly the same if it's the same number

[sinful laurel]

to clarify, father toast is 100% correct. 70% damage over time is the same as 70% poison damage

[sick rampart]

ohh

[sinful laurel]

elemental dot affixes can roll higher, which is why i said depends

[sick rampart]

thats good

[sinful laurel]

sorry for confusion

[sick rampart]

thank you!

does status effects, such as burning also scales from your damage modifiers?

[faint cape]

Yes, in the example, ignite deals "fire DOT" so it will scale with anything that would scale that kind of damage

[native sail]

Keep in mind, this isn't like PoE, we don't have "burning" as a "type" of damage, if an enemy is ignite they're just ignited plain and simple. Nor the difference between raw poison damage and poison damage over time (like raw chaos vs chaos DoT), all poison damage is done over time.

[sick rampart]

awesome. so if my build has multiple types of damage, like melee and dot, but all of them has the "fire" type in common, i can just focus fire all the way down

ty

[native sail]

You're not gonna want to split between hit and DoT

Pick one or the other

[sick rampart]

so the burning effect from ignite chance that comes from fire hit skills isnt worth?

[sinful laurel]

there is not a "burning effect"

[native sail]

^

Ignite is ignite

[sinful laurel]

ignite is an ailment that deals fire damage over time for its duration

and can stack infinitely

[native sail]

You don't have to use a fire skill to apply ignite

[faint cape]

Some day I will make a good hit/DOT hybrid... maybe.

[sinful laurel]

there is the bones for it in a few skills

[sick rampart]

uhh

im slightly confused

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's only a matter of time for us to get enough scaling for it I think

[sick rampart]

but i think i get it

say warpath has ignite chance on it, if my main damage comes out from warpath, the ignite node for it is just a free damage thats kinda redundant?

[sinful laurel]

like deias said

[native sail]

Are you focusing the hit damage or the ignite damage?

[sinful laurel]

thats what deias said 😉

[faint cape]

Don't worry too much about min-maxing your build to perfection yet, I think you can get through campaign fine with a lot of stuff tbh

[sick rampart]

oh im actually working my way above corruption 200

[native sail]

Cuz if you aren't building into the ignite itself, then you really don't have a reason to take ignite chance

[sick rampart]

but my damage is low atm

ohhh

okay

i see

[sinful laurel]

you either want to scale the up front "hit" damage through flat damage, % increases on your gear, and increases in the skill itself

or you want to scale the ignite chance on gear, within the skill and then focus on fire damage and ele damage over time stats

one or the other

[faint cape]

Oh I see, then yeah. Don't want to spread your scaling too thin, or none of your effects will do enough

[sick rampart]

in my head, stacking multiple sources of damage with one common type like "fire" would be ideal

[native sail]

It isn't

[sinful laurel]

in this game, you have the hit doing damage OR an ailment that the hit applies potentially doing damage

you can have both but you are significantly diluting both

[sick rampart]

i see

wow thank you so much for clarifying it to me, i've been building my character wrong this whole time haha

[sinful laurel]

a couple other pointers, the ailment strength does NOT depend on the magnitude of the hit that applies it. the damage ailment is also not affected by crit chance, crit multi as dots cannot crit

[faint cape]

Just to clarify as to why - you'll need scaling from more than just the damage increase. For hits, you can scale flat damage and crit chance/multi and ailment DOTs you scale application chance

[sinful laurel]

last pointer for dot damage, % chance over 100 is hugely useful. 200% chance to apply simply applies two stacks of the ailment. 300% applies 3 stacks etc

[sick rampart]

got it

thank you!

[static fog]

Which item filter would you recommend I use?

[sinful laurel]

heavyZ's filters are a great place to start from, i use a customized version for most of my stuff

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-ready-for-mp-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3/25176

just customize it as needed for the specific things you are looking for

[thin tinsel]

Guys how rare is orians(the amulet) really? I mean it says extremley rare and I have not seen that on another item...

[sinful laurel]

its pretty rare

I have ~3300 echoes in age of winter looking for a bleeding heart and I have 1 orians with no LP

but my luck is also SHIT so

[static fog]

I'm playing the necromancer class, I need to download the file for the wizard class?

[sinful laurel]

acolyte

[static fog]

okey thank you dude

[thin tinsel]

Oof ok, well a good rolled no lp one will definitley be enough i guess thx 😄

[sinful laurel]

just gotta get lucky, sacrifice that goat

[inland crypt]

If I spoke to yulia and took her quest before taking Alric’s revenge are my just out of luck? It’s annoying you can’t undo stuff

[floral badge]

Uh, what do you mean? I don't recall Yulia locking you out of other quests...

[inland crypt]

Well I was using a maxroll guide and it told me to talk to Alaric for alrics revenge. I talked to yulia first and she gave me a diff quest and when I talked to Alaric after I can’t get that side quest now

[floral badge]

o.0

[near path]

can any kind, experienced soul take a quick gander at this:
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/kA2p1knB

ignite stacking shield throw pally

I just want to know if the numbers and gear make sense

(I already have a 3LP Torch and 3LP Heart for legendary crafting)

[native sail]

You have a bunch of armor shred, which does nothing for an ignite build

[near path]

generic offensive stat, I could substitute for stuff like frailty / chill / slow

oh yeah armour shred does literally zit

true

[native sail]

I think you may run into mana issues as well

Also your Reversal is gonna take absolute ages to come off cooldown

[near path]

I've tried to bring the cost of shield throw to 0

[near path]

yeah.. I'm hoping to only have to use it against really chonk targets

idk how effective the cooldown on hit node is

[native sail]

Looks like you have a mana cost of 7 on the shield throw?

[near path]

huh how

let me check that again

[sinful laurel]

you want reversal up a LOT for the damage bonuses from void rifts on leave and arrival right?

[native sail]

20 base cost, +8 via Ricochet, only taking off 21 of it from what I can see

[near path]

hmmm ok it's possible to bring it to 0 but I lose a ricochet

fuck

[native sail]

I think you want minimal ricochets anyway if you get the cost to zero

Your Lava Bursts should work to stack ignites in an AoE without the potential "oh fuck" moment of it not returning quick enough

[near path]

yeah now with the edit it's just 2 ricochets

and because I'm not taking that annoying node up top I don't lose block chance even when the shield is thrown

(I THINK)

[native sail]

You should still have block chance yeah

[near path]

ideally yes but idk how to solve it in this particular case

[static fog]

I don't know if there is a way to get certain items so I have a question. Is there a way to find or drop the Skeletal Scepter?

[near path]

I either lose mana regen, which would be crippling because I'll need it after casting sigils, or I'd lose the ability to regain health, which negates its "oh shit" effect

[native sail]

I honestly don't think the health regain on Reversal is good

Like at all

[sinful laurel]

i agree

[native sail]

Because you have a really small time frame for it and could make it a WORSE position for you very easily

[near path]

the health reset has saved my life on occasion

though yeah, positional awareness becomes a big thing with it

[native sail]

You also have Bleeding Heart which should cover any health issue

[near path]

true true

yeah I mean it's just one point for 60% cdr, it's not a bad trade

[native sail]

Also, minor thing that I see as just a bit of QoL/security; drop one point in Sigils of Hope from Empowering Sigils and put it in Meditation instead

If you cap Polished Steel on Shield Throw and get -mana cost to throwing attacks on one ring (even just sealed) you should solve mana permanently, I believe.

[near path]

I got the mana cost to 0 by optimizing the shield throw tree

[native sail]

That works

[near path]

leaves the rings free

[sinful laurel]

you dont want to waste a prefix on that anyways

you dont need the throwing damage

[native sail]

Most people don't use it for the damage tbf

[sinful laurel]

not sentinels at least 🙂

rogues do

[native sail]

A lot of people just seal a T1 to cut costs, because it's practically free

[near path]

yeah exactly

awesome guys, thanks

i think the biggest pain is going to be getting smite idols. I just have 2 lying around

[native sail]

Keep in mind your small idol slots can get you some leeway on resistances as well!

[near path]

yeah I have a few 1x1s with health and res just for this purpose

they're surprisingly good padding

[sinful laurel]

cool build btw

[near path]

if it works

[sinful laurel]

cool build idea btw

better?

[near path]

thank you

and for the assist too

[sinful laurel]

deias did most of the work. Sentinel is not one of my strong suits

[native sail]

Yeah no problem. Seems fun if it works.

[near path]

I'll probably slog it over bit by bit over the next few days depending on time

[native sail]

Completely reasonable

[near path]

I was actually looking forward to making this as a fresh char, I thought 0.9.1 would be a reset

[sinful laurel]

delete everything 🙂

[native sail]

Nah, no planned wipes to the game even on full release.

[near path]

[native sail]

Seasonal stuff is basically an optional reset if you care about trading and egoing leaderboards. If all you want is new stuff to play you can just take your old toons still

[near path]

true, seasonal wipe will become important with the factions / trading stuff

[native sail]

Yup. Or in my case, more chances to try and ego how many uniques I can get SSF in a cycle

[golden patio]

Hello, I'm trying to connect on the Last Epoch website. I reach the page with the "steam"' connection button. I click, I'm on the steam tab, I click connect there, I'm back on the last epoch website and ... nothing. I'm still on the same steam connection page and I can repeat those steps forever. Any idea what could happen or, more importantly, how to actually connect on the last epoch website ?

[raw fern]

Hello, are you talking about migration process https://migration.lastepoch.com/ ? Or you bought the game through steam and can't login to https://portal.lastepoch.com/ ?

[golden patio]

Hello, I did not buy the game (yet), I just wanted to login on the website, so indeed to the portal. Do we have to own the game to login ?

[raw fern]

Yes 🙂

[golden patio]

Ah ok (it was not the case in the past). Would be nice to have some kind of warning or indication on this fact.

[sick rampart]

anyone knows a way to screenshot in game while holding the ctrl + alt keys to show item roll tooltips?

[raw fern]

Press "Print Screen" on keyboard and paste to Paint (CTRL +V)?

[sick rampart]

doesnt work

unless i release ctrl and alt keys

[broken summit]

You can change the hotkey for the snipping tool to something else and try that

[sterile widget]

Snipping tool allows you to set a delay.

The new snippy sketchy thing with windows shift S also supports a delay I believe

[crisp kelp]

hoping someone can help me understand how overcharge/hypercharge works with LB. If i'm taking both these nodes, i assume its better for me to be spam clicking the LB button instead of holding it down?

im doing normal monoliths real quick to lvl my skills back up, and im killing things too fast to be able to tell if there is a difference in dmg when i test it out

[sterile widget]

LB is only channelled if you take Insidious Conduction.

[crisp kelp]

so since i dont have any points in it, it wont make a difference if i hold it down or tap it

[sterile widget]

If you don't have that node, then holding it down is same as pressing the button repeatadly at the same speed

[crisp kelp]

awesome, ty

[sterile widget]

I believe so

[crisp kelp]

i was super comfortable with the build i leveled with, but wanted to transition to a different variation of static blast and LB so just seeing how everything synergizes

while reading that node i was a bit confused cause i just figured any spell that you can hold down would count as being channeled

[sterile widget]

My only problem with LB is ... it isn't fire. Ba-boom! 😄

Ah yeah. Channeled is a tag in LE 🙂

[crisp kelp]

good to know

yeah i want to get this build settled in to allow me to farm for everythign else

[sterile widget]

Sounds like a plan - good luck! 🙂

[crisp kelp]

very much looking forward to a flame build though, whats your fave if you dont mind me askin

[sterile widget]

I'm playing flame reave with the sunwreath ring and it is a lot of fun. Very active build.

[crisp kelp]

im assuming there really isnt a righteous fire type build with sorc considering flame aura isnt really a skill but more of a perk?

oh a melee sorc?

or wait thats spellblade

[sterile widget]

Yeah!

[crisp kelp]

or i guess you can still use flame reave even on sorc cant you

[sterile widget]

You're correct about flame aura - it isn't quite there yet - no primary skill tree, heavy split investments. Bit weird

Good for a bit of extra damage

[sterile widget]

Yes you can. If you put the points in.

[crisp kelp]

meteor and black hole are also two skills id love to see how builds with them could look

[sterile widget]

I played some Meteor in offline. It was fun 🙂

The mana tunnel node in Teleport feels mandatory, but there are other ways to go about it. I haven't done a lot of deep exploration there though.

[crisp kelp]

yeah looking forward to testing stuff out, pretty exciting to know i have this much to try out and theres still so many other classes i can play as well 😄

oh if i may ask another question about how endurance works, im trying to figure out what exactly capping endurance means?

if your endurance is capped does that mean the Endurance Threshold=max health?

or is it just maxing out the % to 100%?

[sterile widget]

When people talk about capping Endurance, they generally mean making your Endurance stat 60%

(60% is the cap)

[crisp kelp]

ahh okay so basically you'll have 60% of your max health act as a shield (the yellow pool at the bottom of the health bar)

[sterile widget]

Not quite

[crisp kelp]

is that where endurance threshold comes in?

[sterile widget]

60% DR when Endurance kicks in

Yah, the threshold determines when it kicks in

[crisp kelp]

ahh i see so you get the % of damage reduction from your endurance stat when your health dips below whatever your threshold is

[sterile widget]

Yep.

Building max health also increases your Endurance Threshold 🙂

[crisp kelp]

oh so it goes up naturally when you gain vit

[sterile widget]

Yep

(can use the affix, if you're so inclined, but i'd say it is pretty niche generally speaking)

[crisp kelp]

well not vit, but like any health related affix

[sterile widget]

Vitality, + and % health, anything that increases health

[crisp kelp]

im not targeting endurance threshold on my gear, was just curious as the resources i've been reading have talked about capping endurance and i wanted to know how it works, tyvm

[sterile widget]

Minimum threshold is 20% of your max health

No problemo.

[crisp kelp]

so having endurance on the gear is probably worthwhile but endurance threshold not so much since you can do the smae thing and get more benefit by just going into health/health %/hybrid/vit

[sterile widget]

Pretty much

[crisp kelp]

makes sense

[sterile widget]

Like with all things life, there are always going to be weird exceptions.

[crisp kelp]

yeah i think i saw a tanky sorc melee build that did that

where you have dmg taken from mana instead of health

[sterile widget]

For example, at the moment "Damage dealt to mana before health" appears to be protected by endurance assuming the threshold is high enough. I suspect it is a bug

[crisp kelp]

and just have your endurance threshold and health both at around 900 or somethin

[sterile widget]

Yeah that one

[crisp kelp]

really cool you can take a random interaction like that though and make a whole build out of it

[sterile widget]

Agreed

Hopefully they adjust the wording of the skills and keep the mechanic the way it is, rather than fixng the bug 😄

(assuming it's a bug)

[crisp kelp]

oh theres a bug?

oh just reread what you said

[sterile widget]

Well, the wording of Endurance is such that I believe it should not protect your mana

To me it feels like your mana should drian out, then you endurance should protect your health as usual

BUT

in this instance, there is a contradiction in the game guide

[crisp kelp]

wait theres a game guide?

lol

omg there is

[sterile widget]

"Endurance is a defensive mechanic that allows you to take less damage while below a certain health value."

"Endurance applies to any damage taken below your Endurance Threshold"

[crisp kelp]

and all this time i've been bombarding you guys with questions when i could have probably just hit G to get my answers lol

[sterile widget]

😄 It has gaps, but it's pretty good

[crisp kelp]

i still prefer the human interaction lol

[sterile widget]

Yeah, totally agree

[crisp kelp]

well i think most ppl here are human

[sterile widget]

beep boop

As human as any ARPG player

[crisp kelp]

lol fair enough

tbf you gotta have some robotic tendencies to obsess over math and numbers in a video game this much 😂

[sterile widget]

Gotta go. Good luck - if you want more reading or references

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057

Also, these at maxroll.gg

(maxroll is more current)

[crisp kelp]

oh yeah ive been spending a ton of time on maxroll

been a great resource

thanks again, take care!

[ruby thistle]

anyone in the aus region experiencing some weird lag where thr character rubber bands everywhere. My ping isnt the issue i tested it through other games and speedtests.

[forest vapor]

generally no issues of that sort on the aus server from WA

whatever the problem is, it does not seem to be the server itself, and even the ping seems to be unrelated

[ruby thistle]

mmm just a weird experience making it unplayable for me

might wait for a patch or reinstall the game

[cedar locust]

I know it's becoming a meme reply - though it might be worth verifying your games files before doing a full reinstall 🙂

[unreal hinge]

Whats the best way to get a bug fixed? The bug thats affecting my build is already a few month old. Is there a chance that it gets fixed any time soon? https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9b-smoke-bomb-hasty-combustion/53553

[ruby thistle]

true might try that first ty

[cedar locust]

Posting to the Forums is the best way to make the team aware of an issue, so thanks for posting there!

I'm not sure what issues are being worked on at the moment but Mike explained it best -

(this was a dungeon bug specific reply, though applies to all bugs)

[unreal hinge]

Thanks for the response! So there is no reason for me to bump the thread? The forum says that threads will close 2 month after the last reply. I just hope that the bug wont be forgotten

[cedar locust]

Feel free to bump to keep it open, it will also help any other players that run into this issue find your post easily!

[peak spoke]

I play on steamdeck and having issue. I cant enter majelka upper dessert. The game always crashing. Anyone having same issue with me?

[cedar locust]

Steamdeck isn't a fully supported platform, though the team does want to be able to do this along with full controller support.

Try verifying your files through steam, though if that doesn't help are you able to check if the same issue happens on a desktop/laptop? Just to see if it's the deck or the area 😊

[river hull]

does 'navigator's shot' on detonating arrow - 'detonating arrow now slightly seeks out targets' have any effect when you use the melee daggers (jelkhor's blast knife) for detonating arrow?

[faint cape]

Highly unlikely, there's no projectile to give homing to and it doesn't mention melee (which always has some pretty heavy auto-target on)

[river hull]

cool

[light folio]

I reinstalled the game twice already restarted the computer, verified the files, and my game just crashes everytime.. Im using Dell G7 laptop, maybe my laptop has something to do with it

[cedar locust]

Does it crash if you launch directly from the .exe vs the Steam launcher?

Also worth checking your Nvidia drivers are upto date 🙂

[light folio]

both. I just tried it again and now theres an error message "WerFault.exe - Application error"

will do

[cedar locust]

WerFault.exe is the Windows Error Reporting tool built into windows, the event log for that should show which application is responsible and potentially which file in that application

[light folio]

and how do I look at that?

[dense lynx]

For someone running Aaron’s will if I run skeleton Mages and regular skeletons what’s the max amount of golems I can spawn in? Have Aaron’s will and kinda wanna throw in some golems with my fire wraith build

[cedar locust]

This is the site I have open - https://theitbros.com/werfault-exe-application-error/ - you need to run eventvwr.msc , expand the Application log, and look for the latest event with EventID 1000

As always, never download 3rd party tools and if the instruction is to delete a certain file - always look up that file online to make sure Windows doesn't need it to run

[light folio]

I didnt download any 3rd party tool at all

[cedar locust]

Oh no I wasn't implying you did, I was just saying to not DL any while trying to fix this error! Sorry!

It's worth reaching out to our Support team here : https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/requests/new as they may be offer to some advice!

[light folio]

I just submitted my concern, thank you, hopefully this can be fixed soon 😦 this the only game i had problems like this with. I really really wanna play LE so bad

[cedar locust]

I'm trying to think what else could cause that particular file to fail consistently, might be worth googling it while you wait for Support to reply - just in case the internet has the answer

[tacit edge]

There is one thing in the story I dont get. When we reform the epoch, and get to the imperial era, why suddenly do we change our goal from trying to save the people from the ruined era to messing with the emperor ?

[thin tinsel]

somone posted a neat crit/increased crit screenshot yesterday but i cant seem to find it anymore, anyone has a copy maybe 😄 ?

[versed apex]

does anyone know if you link your steam account will the game use your steam name or your account name still?

I think i figured it out - it does not use your steam name

[merry aspen]

I was actually thinking of saving that somewhere myself but then I didnt, darn 😅

[cedar locust]

Do you remember what else it was about?

[eager drum]

can i leech hp from minion damage with this?

[merry aspen]

No, you are not your minions.

[cedar locust]

I can only find this #❔┃ask-the-community message

[merry aspen]

That's not what they meant. It was a table with actual crit values per crit increases. May have been homemade even.

[cedar locust]

Now I know what to look for! Let me dive!

[merry aspen]

It was posted yesterday evening either in this channel or in general

after 6pm CEST

[sinful laurel]

gnasherr posted it

@cedar locust

[cedar locust]

Ah-ha - #💬┃general message

[thin tinsel]

thanks very much to both of you 😄

that thing is really handy

[cedar locust]

I know some tricks for searching Discord for posts, happy to help!

[merry aspen]

So it was posted in general. Nice sleuthing averielle

[cedar locust]

Knowing who posted helped, then you just search 'from: (playername)' and 'has: image' !

[static fog]

I don't know if there is a way to get certain items so I have a question. Is there a way to find or drop the Skeletal Scepter?

[cedar locust]

LETools usually lists where an item can be found!

[merry aspen]

Since it's a base it is completely random as long as you are in a zone with at least level 67.

[cedar locust]

^^ Yep, as it's a basic item it can drop anywhere as long as the level requirement is met!

[faint cape]

I think the very max is 4 (5 with twinned node, but that's terrible). Mages don't count toward this item.

[static fog]

ty for the info dudes

[merry aspen]

Any time my guy

[quasi rover]

is this game hard to get into for a noob that have not done action rpg's since the glory days of diablo 2? 😛

[cedar locust]

This was my first ever aRPG and I'm really enjoying it! The respec system means you don't get stuck in a bad build, the crafting is super generous and the community is really helpful with a lot of stuff you need to know!

[dense lynx]

That makes sense thanks for the help!

[quasi rover]

think i will give it a shot, there are only so many survival games one can play before he needs something new 😛

[rigid shale]

freezing wind bugged? The Damage is absurd

[merry aspen]

No, those wengari spires are deadly. Don't facetank them.

[rigid shale]

Is it possible to tank them ?

are they damage over time ?

[merry aspen]

Is it possible? As a sentinel with rebuke, probably. With insane gear? Also probably. And yes, they are dot.

[rigid shale]

ok thanks

[jolly shell]

The Immortal Emperor caused the void to enter the world so we go back in time to kill the Immortal Emperor before he can summon the void.

[merry aspen]

But it isn't the Emperor who let's in the void, is it?

[faint cape]

No, it's probably us trying to stop him 😂

[quasi rover]

pet builds worth testing for a new player?

[merry aspen]

I was being rhetorical (which i shouldnt have been, sorry). It's Apophis, right at the end of the campaign.

[merry aspen]

All builds are worth testing as a new player. Just find something you like and enjoy yourself.

[faint cape]

Does she really, though? Those events happen before the empire even begins.

It might be that the empire's actual purpose is to hold the void back, but idk.

[merry aspen]

Chronologically it's the first time the void appears. And who knows how long it takes to spread. Keep in mind the eras span a longer time and we never know when we are in the era.

[faint cape]

First time that we know of

[merry aspen]

Fair point. But the same twist twice? Ehhh, I doubt it.

[faint cape]

It's kinda lovecrafty, seems to be let in by collective despair and suffering and whatnot

[merry aspen]

Doesn't Apophis say she got the spell from Orobyss? Where does the collective despair come into play there? Or are you referring to the previous Vessel Maidens and how Apophis tells Majasa to feel their despair when she hexes (?) her?

[jolly shell]

All I know is the very last line of the campaign will be: “No, YOU are the last epoch.”

[faint cape]

He is the source of the void, so makes sense

[merry aspen]

Next character I roll I'm gonna read dialogue again. Really gotta brush up on the lore.

On that note, what do you think Orobyss looks like?

[faint cape]

Yeah, I'll do the same. Next update is bringing "campaign stuff", so definitely a good time for it

[merry aspen]

Exactly!

[faint cape]

I always assumed he was the mana globe boy, but apparently that's something else

[merry aspen]

Oh yeah, the observer, right? No idea who that is supposed to be.

[fresh aspen]

anyone knows the lore of Eterra and Observer

Im guessing God and the Devil?

[faint cape]

Orobyss is Eterra's opposite equivalent afaik

But no clue about this observer thing

[fresh aspen]

im guessing everything about the void and orobyss have to do with the observer

the left side of HP pool is Eterra and the Right side of mana pool is the Observer

so i see them as the equal

Orobyss has to be a messenger or disciple of the observer :/

[faint cape]

Yeah, I hope we get a bit more on it in the future chapters

Otherwise we'll have to try and convince Mike to bring the loremaster on his stream

[jolly shell]

He’s on our hot bar. Eterra is the lady and Orobyss is the demon thingy.

[merry aspen]

No, that's the observer.

Someone asked the exact same question in the dev chat the other day.

[faint cape]

Granted, she did express that she wasn't 100% certain. If there is a more definitive source, I'd be happy

[merry aspen]

You dont trust Ave

[balmy current]

Yeah, I think the despair is that of the Vessel Maidens.

[jolly shell]

Also I think Orobyss is us based on the temple dialogue

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I've been struggling a bit finding exalted items. With two affixes specified in the loot filter, is it normal to not see a single exalted item all the way through 300 corruption?

[sinful laurel]

No. That would be insanely, astronomically unlucky if you are saying you actually, truly have not seen a SINGLE exalted item through 300 corruption. You are likely hiding them in your filter or something.

[lethal flicker]

nono, plenty of exalted, just none with two matching affixes

[sinful laurel]

Oh. That's totally normal lol

Finding a double exalt with two useful affixes is quite rare

Not to mention also on a good base

[sleek sluice]

pretty much never gonna happen

at 400 hours, seen 1 or 2 good double t6

that can be used for some builds

rest are rng doubles

[lethal flicker]

Ah I see. That's fine then. It's a bit frustrating though xD

[amber coral]

Anyone know if the Summon Spriggan's node Creeping roots scale off your Ensnaring root tree? Cause it doesnt specify if it does or doesn't like the Summon vine node in the same tree (that specifies that they are not affected)

[crystal sparrow]

for the dragonsong build. Would dexterity or crit multiplier have the highest value? What will improve my damage the most

[merry aspen]

Crit multi by a lot. One point of dex only increases your damage by 4% which is laughable (even higher amounts) in comparison to how much damage you are already doing. Crit multi is "more" damage when you crit which is especially strong since you are building crit anyway.

[native sail]

Depends a bit, they may be one of the weird ones using Mourning with it

[merry aspen]

Can you tell me how that changes the setup?

[crystal sparrow]

im using mourningfrost

shouldnt i use mourningfrost?

[native sail]

Because a point of dex = flat damage

[native sail]

I don't like the item to begin with so I'm biased

[merry aspen]

Ahhh, I see it now. In that case it does indeed depend on what you have more of already. If the base damage of dragonbreath (or whatever its called) + your added damage exceeds 100 then crit multi is better, otherwise dex. Correct me on the math if it's wrong.

[crystal sparrow]

100 what?

[merry aspen]

100 damage 😄

[native sail]

(You'll have to do math to figure this one out)

[crystal sparrow]

100 damage? it does 24k damage or what do you mean

[native sail]

The base damage

The damage before any increases and multipliers

[crystal sparrow]

how would i find the base damage in numbers?

[native sail]

Just the damage of the skill itself + any added flat damage

[merry aspen]

Check LEtools. Lemme get it for you

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/dragon_song_explosion

Keep in mind this thing is weird with crits

And due to its massive scaling, flat damage is very good for it

[crystal sparrow]

so youd say dex over multiplier?

[native sail]

I'd say dex up to a certain point then multi. How much are you looking at right now?

To my knowledge a lot of them stop at the 80-100 range

Because it gets hard to counteract the downside of Mournings after that

[lyric bramble]

is there anywhere that details what the old supporter packs included? I have the ancient champion supporter pack, but I can't recall what it came with besides the game and the turtle companions

[crystal sparrow]

still early on, got roughly 60 dex but been putting a lot into defenses lately and health

[thin tinsel]

i have a weird question i guess, do legendarys also inherit class requirements?

[native sail]

If they get a class specific affix, yes

[thin tinsel]

fuck

why 😦

well there goes my plan for a juicy 30% increased mana for my mage but thx for the qick answer!

[native sail]

Short answer; some affixes are fucking busted on other classes

[thin tinsel]

well yeah i kinda figured it would be like that, still sad 😄

[potent rapids]

I've been playing with Flame Wraiths and it's really strong but I'm finding it's not braindead enough and I want to completely zone out while I farm, any recommendations?

[dark panther]

hey guys. I'm running a crowstorm crow spam build. currently at 5 squawky-bois using the extra companion from the wolf tree and the beastmaster tree. I was wondering if it might make more sense to spec out of storm breath > fulminating claw > thunderstruck to dump those points into getting to murder of crows

getting to & maxing murder of crows would take 10 points which I could do if I dumped the stuff at the bottom center and went straight for MoC

[waxen sundial]

So based on the information we have, Weavers Will is basically a legendary that gets random affixes

[jolly shell]

Feels like Weavers Will is just RNG LP

[fresh aspen]

Easier to get more LP, harder to get stats you want

[sonic fulcrum]

Chakram + Blade Armor. Guessing it only counts as one Shuriken?

[fresh aspen]

Chakram + anything = 1

[sonic fulcrum]

I figured but wanted to check.

[faint cape]

Yep, they didn't talk about rarity, but keep in mind 28 WW is automatic 4 T7 affixes, so there's no way it's not stupidly rare to get high WW

[fresh aspen]

I'm assuming the rares are +23 and any higher is almost impossible

[faint cape]

I'd expect anything over 20 to be decently rare probably

Depending on how they are weighted (or not) to be able to hit T7s, maybe even lower values will be rare, but I guess we'll see. Just speculating for funzies

[formal parcel]

Does lastepochtools use some kinda API that will immediately show all the new WW uniques to hunt once the patch is out? Or will people manually encounter and then add them

[native sail]

No API

Dammitt rips their info from the game, so it takes time to update it

Usually a couple days at most

[crystal sparrow]

is there a guide or someone here who can explain how theoretical math calculations of stats would be done when trying to know which stat will net the biggest increase in dmg/defense/... etc?

Like I asked about earlier today, if I look at dragonfire from the dragonsong bow, how would i calculate what the ACTUAL damage difference would be comparing stats to each other?

Also, I read about critical strike cap everywhere. What is the cap for Dragonsong build? Is it at 20%?

[native sail]

The critical strike cap is 100%

What you're reading is probably the critical strike vulnerability cap, which is an ailment that causes the enemy to be have a flat +2% chance to be crit per stack of vulnerability, capping at 10 stacks, or +20% chance to be crit

[faint cape]

The actual damage change from gaining particular stat(s) can be calculated by looking at those stat(s) in a vacuum. The general formula for this is final / initial = multiplier. For example, we can look at getting 50% increased damage when we already have a total of 333% increased damage: (1 + 3.33 + 0.5) / (1 + 3.33) = 1.11547; meaning that 50% increased damage will give you about 11.5% more damage. From there, you can then compare to other stat changes.

[proud bridge]

boi im at temporal dungeon and all the way to next level area is block off in both timeline

where do i report this?

[faint cape]

Are you totally sure you haven't just missed one little path? Bugs are reported on the forums

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[proud bridge]

YES im sure

damn it... wasted another key

[faint cape]

Take some screenshots of the overlay map for both eras, it'll help in the report for sure

[proud bridge]

is there no workaround this?

yea i did gonna rep[ort it now

[faint cape]

I've never heard of it happening, so don't know of anything

[thin tinsel]

is frozen ire with 2-3LP a "reasonable" goal?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah

As in you can find it if you are lucky before the sun dies out

[thin tinsel]

thats not what i meant with reasonable 😄

like it says 60 LP potential, i still cant tell with these numbers what to expect...

[sinful laurel]

60 is decently high to expect a 3lp

[faint cape]

1 LP is totally reasonable, 2-3 I don't recommend focusing on for anything other than maybe some low LPL things

low being like < 20ish?

[thin tinsel]

hmm i mean 2 would be totally enough not that i think about it

[faint cape]

usually is for weapon slots, I think

[thin tinsel]

would want crit multi speed and cold damage, like 2 of them would be awesome

[sinful laurel]

It's hard to say "your chances are 5%. Go find 100of them for success". It's just all luck

[thin tinsel]

oh and i know only 2 of them are possible at the same time dont worry 😄

[faint cape]

Yep - I really wouldn't focus on farming anything specific for >1 LP personally, and some not even that

[sinful laurel]

Agreed. I still fall guilty to it sometimes, and I get frustrated every time

[faint cape]

Recipe for disaster 😔

[thin tinsel]

gotta have some long time goals tho, t7 speed and t5 multi, the dream 🙂

[sinful laurel]

Farming for a 3 LP bleeding heart lol. Level 4 with 4 eff level for LP...

[faint cape]

Yeah, long time goal for me in that regard is like, just getting the blessing for that slot and then forgetting about it

[visual mountain]

If you convert something like Physical damage to Lightning damage with affixes is 100% the cap or can you keep pushing it>?

[sinful laurel]

3 weeks, 3400 echoes in winter later...

[faint cape]

and if it's a boss drop, then maybe farming that area if I can stomach it

[faint cape]

conversion over 100% does nothing

[visual mountain]

thank you

[sick rampart]

does endurance threshold scales from your max health?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, can you put two traversal skills on your bar? I’d like to use one for certain situations and the other sometimes for another

[pastel pebble]

Absolutely you can. I just don't think it'd be worthwhile for you to waste a skillbar slot on a second one

[sinful laurel]

All traversal skills share the same skill cooldown

[lethal flicker]

Yeah, the cooldown sharing is fine. The build I’m using is a bit buttonless. Thank you guys

[crystal sparrow]

but that mean my crit has to be at 80%?

[native sail]

If you really want to have only crits, yeah. I find that even just 50% is fine though

[crystal sparrow]

Alright, sounds crazy to get even close to 80% 😮

[native sail]

Ah, keep in mind what the character sheet says is not accurate to your crit chance at all in like 90% of builds

It only calculates the base crit chance and gear additions, does not account for anything specific to each skill

[crystal sparrow]

ah ok, but it does account for passives (p)?

[native sail]

Sometimes. IIRC it doesn't take any conditional/damage type ones into account, only generic increases or specifically spell/melee. I don't believe it shows bow crit or throwing crit.

[crystal sparrow]

ok, thanks x)

[native sail]

No problem. Don't worry, EHG is well aware it needs a rework, it is on their list of things to do :P

[worn basin]

All these new uniques get added with the patch next week, right? Do we know if we need to make a new character to be able to drop them? Or can I just continue my character and these items simply get added to the pool of items? I have a multiplayer (online) character I play and I am a bit confused if the patch next week is similar to a PoE league that comes with a full „economy“ reset

[fresh aspen]

its not a reset

theres no league/cycles before 1.0

[native sail]

There's no "leagues" pre-1.0
Your beta characters are not being wiped at 1.0 launch
You do not have to wipe to play new content, ever.
Any and all "seasonal" content rolls out for non-"seasonal" at the same time, you will only have to play the resets if you care about the trade economy and leaderboards.

I put those terms in quotes because in LE they're named cycles, but some folks get confused so I use the popular terms for clarification

[fringe oasis]

hey guys, I feel struggle in Lagon fight, haven't really done much crafting, now I got my trees "lets-say-right" (instead of randomly pressing stuff) but my eq is underwhelming. I'm lvl 49 so level up could be helpful as well. What is good place in chapter 8 or previous to level up and drop some item bases so I can improve my gear and fight that Octopus guy without panicking

[deft solar]

Monolith need finish 100%?

[misty brook]

Has anyone else noticed Firebrands "Illuminating Fire" node giving way more crit than it should?
With 6 stacks it should be giving 36% flat crit, so with 5% base crit and 70% increased crit from Knowledge of Destruction I should be on 69% crit. Yet my Surge is critting every single time, literally.
Even when I drop a point, so it's only giving 24% flat crit with 6 stacks, my Surge is critting 95% + of the time when it should be 49%.
I then took another point out, so it should be 29% total crit chance, and over 100 surges I crit 53 times.
I was testing this a lot as it was driving me crazy wondering where this crit was coming from. I was testing naked with no other skills than Firebrand and Surge, no other skills points or passives related to crit at all.
Am I missing something obvious, or has anyone else experienced this?

[open zealot]

what are peoples thoughts on ele dot werebear vs swarmblade?

[full wing]

either of these any good for specific builds or reason why i should use them?

[faint cape]

EQ is difficult to use on its own due to how much mana it uses, you'll typically want some sort of mana generator skill to go with it. Also, at this point in the story, it's totally feasible for you to jump to the monolith of fate (the primary end game system, east gate from End of Time) to level/gear more.

[faint cape]

Like full clear? No

[faint cape]

Hard to say, there might be something you missed. I'd check the forums for bug reports on it to see if anyone else noticed it

!bug

[ripe brook]

To make sure a bug gets fixed, please post about it here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports.

[faint cape]

Cold DOT bear has more QoL than bleed-consuming locust swarm, but much less damage. Cold locust swarm is temporarily removed from the game, but it's a solid middle ground that I prefer over either.

[faint cape]

Prismatic gaze is good for a lot of builds since it gives global flat crit (other stats on it aren't terrible). Never seen anyone actually use any flavor of scales.

[fringe oasis]

so basically just do all 9 chapters ASAP and farm good gear later?

[faint cape]

You can get all the most important stuff you need from the campaign at the time you complete chapter 7 and then move on to the end game, if you want. But yeah, that's another thing you can do

[gloomy oar]

i'm looking for someone who's boring play alone and want to play together.

[fringe oasis]

Wow so I can skip last chapters?

[faint cape]

Yeah, technically you can start the end game as soon as you reach End of Time, but people almost always want the passives and idol slots from quests (shown on bottom left of your map) and some more levels before they start

[inland crypt]

Why can’t you transfer players between online and offline? That’s a bummer

Online is buggy so I leveled offline but kinda lame you can’t go online and join folks for end game content

[buoyant sinew]

One of the main points of the online model they've gone with is to have a server-authoritative environment where it's near-impossible to cheat. Transferring offline characters to online destroys that.

I imagine there wouldn't be anything wrong with a permanent one way transfer of an online character to offline, maybe it's just more trouble than it's worth

[inland crypt]

That’s good feedback actually. A one time permanent transfer would help for sure. People will always find ways to cheat. I would have leveled online but it’s just not as smooth as the offline experience right now

[jolly shell]

Lagon is mostly mechanics. You need to learn how to avoid his attacks and he’s zero threat.

[sinful laurel]

And like just one or two attacks really. The laser breath and the circle ground aoe slam

[crystal sparrow]

why would one need "slow on hit" for the dragonsong build? and if theres a good reason, can it be replaced by the multishot slow node? with readied arrow that cast multishot when you use cinder strike some times?

[native sail]

Reason 1) slow is a nice defensive layer
Reason 2) a lot of them have a node in one of the skills (can't remember which) that does more damage to slowed enemies which iirc transfers to Dragonsong

[crystal sparrow]

that's a valid reason, would the multishot slow node be enough or should i use spidersilk solely for the slow?

[native sail]

Whatever has the lowest opportunity cost I'd say

[sharp karma]

If i take a person to the last 3 monos can we complete them and it allow them to get to empowered?

[merry aspen]

I think so

[faint cape]

Yep, if you guys have the 3 level 90 monos ready to go, you can just bring whoever along for those 3 boss fights and they should be good to go

[sharp karma]

Just the bosses?

really?

[faint cape]

Yeah, boss fights are what give the 'completion' credit for the timeline. Only the person opening the portal to the boss fight needs stability

[sharp karma]

He doesnt need to do the 3 quests?

[faint cape]

Nope; he won't get a blessing unless you get him the stability required for the boss and run on non-empowered (still doesn't technically need to do the first 2 quests, but the person opening the boss fight does have to)

but if you just want them in empowered ASAP, you can even just have then tag along for the empowered boss fight

[sonic fulcrum]

How rare's the "Unique or Set Ring" node in Age of Winter? Trying farm Ocereon and I've seen the node maybe never. Corruption 170-ish

[faint cape]

Not very rare, but rng be rng. It gets more common with higher corruption and farther distance from the center.

[sonic fulcrum]

The hunt continues then, thanks

[inland crypt]

So now I’m level 58 and doing the early monolith quest. Is this the last quest?

[amber void]

there's any way to disable the search bar for roll information?

[faint cape]

The last part of the campaign so far is the snake lady boss. There are still quests that take you through the whole monolith of fates, but they are pretty minor

[faint cape]

There are no ways to modify the search bar functionality, it's pretty bare bones

[inland crypt]

Oh ok. Beat the snake lady. Very easily at level 57. The campaign seemed way too easy.

Why can’t you change left click to something more useful? I use spacebar for movement

[faint cape]

It is intentionally pretty easy so you can experiment along the way, though the last chapter or two can be a bit rough, depending on build and ARPG experience. Most you can do is set move to move/attack or move/breakstuff, but idk otherwise. Control improvements are frequent #suggestions-and-like-to-see, I imagine they'll get around to polishing that at some point

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, do the monolith nodes tell you when it has those random ice aoe's dropping from the sky? I'd rather just not play them as a melee character

Can barely see them with my eyes for some reason

[faint cape]

They do not until you enter, unfortunately, since it's semi-random. On your quest tracker, it'll mention wengari spires and that's when you know to just rush through to avoid those sharknado things.

[lethal flicker]

Appreciate it. It must just be my eyes. The visual clarity on some of the aoe effects are near invisible to me

[faint cape]

I think visibility on the very bright (snow in this case) and very dark levels could certainly be improved, some effects just don't pop enough

[inland crypt]

what do I use the keys for? Like I know it explains where to use them, but what's the main benefit

[near path]

Each dungeon has a specific thing it's great for

Temporal Sanctum is used to craft Legendary items from Uniques

Lightless Arbor is a gold sink to obtain a ton of exalted items

Soul Bastion is basically a souped up, semi deterministic gambler

Arena is internet peepee ladder

[last thistle]

what is the upcoming update bringing content wise to the game?

Or has that bit not been released? Finding it hard to find exact patch notes

[near path]

Check #news for the teasers so far

No patch notes yet

[last thistle]

Oh I havent read any of those except the shop one, will do. chur

[worthy plover]

anyone here really familiar with swarmblade form?

[inland crypt]

Where’s the best place to farm do? I’m level 61 and wanna max for end game content

[worthy plover]

farm do?

[sick rampart]

any way to get avarice with lp?

[sinful laurel]

No

[sick rampart]

rip

such good gloves

cant use bleeding heart as i have a unique amulet already

[worthy plover]

you can get the better version burning avarice

[sick rampart]

wait what?

what's that?

[worthy plover]

sec

holy crap that was a bad typo

[sick rampart]

LOL

i thought you were trolling me

[worthy plover]

I am pretty sure I have them on my shaman

[sinful laurel]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsCYDZKA

[sick rampart]

ohh

thats great

[worthy plover]

yeah mine have 1lp on them but I don't know if there is a limit or anything weird

[sick rampart]

is that tier4 only?

[worthy plover]

I think I got them grinding tier 3 for sceptres the other day

[native sail]

Nope. Can get them on T1

It isn't a boss drop, it's from the gambler at the end of that dungeon, so very RNG

[sick rampart]

ohhh

okayy

between fire pen with ignite and shred fire resistance (up to 150% chance with rule of simoor), which one has the higher damage output for a dot build?

[native sail]

That's not how res shred works tbf

You really just want both if you're maximizing damage

[sick rampart]

oh im asking because both are unique gloves

[worthy plover]

I had the same debate with myself the other day I was using simoon before I swapped to them just for the armour lol

[native sail]

Technically speaking, the shred could go further if you can consistently stack it. It's the consistency part that's an issue.

[sick rampart]

yeah simoon has so many great affixes

but no leech

[native sail]

You're probably better off getting res shred via a blessing

[worthy plover]

I mostly used the tornados for the buffs to mana regen and cast speed and movement speed lol

the cast speed would help with dot stuff would it? I am not sure how that all works tbh

[native sail]

If you're using a spell sure

[sinful laurel]

A spell without a CD

[inland crypt]

Farm xp lol. Autocorrect

[north lodge]

Does the blessing for increased item type droprate apply to boss drops? Like if i had 75% increased bow droprate, would that weigh the relative balance of heorot's droprate on Reign of Winter to be above 50%? or would it only apply to if the boss dropped an "extra" regular loot being more likely to be a bow?

[sinful laurel]

i am pretty sure it applies to all drops

[forest vapor]

it doesnt apply to boss drops, no

im moderately sure the devs said that. something about the way boss drops works, the item-type drop blessings only apply to stuff that just drops normally in the world.

i think they want it to apply, but right now - it does not. apparently it works on shade though, for reasons unclear.

[tardy echo]

Hello everyone. I started this game 2 days ago and I'm having a problem progressing main quest. After defeating the two bosses in Imperial Era's Immortal Citadel, I arrived at Divine Era's Gates of Solarum through the portal Yulia created. From that point I cannot see any mobs from The Gates of Solarum to The Scorched Grove, and nothing happens. The quest Rahyeh's Warpath eventually indicates 'Survive the battle between Rahyeh and Heorot', but I cannot see any ingame cutscenes. So I cannot proceed further. Is there anyone under same situation like this?

[near path]

Quick q, having trouble remembering, is there an exp penalty? What's the level diff required to mitigate it if so?

[faint cape]

Yeah, fairly

[forest vapor]

usually the thing to try is validate steam files and try again, that seems to fix a lot of the little glitchy stuff like this.

[forest vapor]

solo, you can only gain exp as if mobs were your level + 10 (ie any higher and they will be treated as just this level). in a party, this threshold is further reduced by the gap between you and the highest party member level.

[tardy echo]

How can I validate steam files?

[forest vapor]

right click -> properties -> local files -> validate

or verify integrity, same thing

[tardy echo]

Thanks a lot. I'll try.

[tardy echo]

OMG! It works! Thank you so much! What a waste of my time for this..ahh..Thank you so much!

[desert tree]

does the fire pen from this idol work with ignite applies from a melee attack ?

[acoustic thicket]

I logged in again after a few days to find out that my offline characters are gone. Did I miss something? Everything still seems to be there in the Saves.

[forest vapor]

almost certainly not, i think

[desert tree]

thx

[sterile widget]

Sounds like one of the files is. corrupted. There should be some .bak files there too which you might be able to use to restore things. Copy whole folder elsewhere, delete original files and move things in one at a time and rename the .bak files.

[slate snow]

when i login to the game, i cant see any of my characters. Anyone knows what might be going on?

[sleek sluice]

@slate snow sounds weird, when was the last time you logged on and saw em?

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks to everyone!
I'm trying to summarize everything I've experienced so far during the troubleshooting.
After the start of the game.
The intro screen was as it should be. Clear. Washed out before!
Offline characters were gone. There was an online character.
Panic and anger. Understandable, because it was mainly about a 100 level char, which demanded a lot from me.
Tips regarding corrupted and bakfiles.
Experiment to see if any of this would help. Negative!
Turn off the cloudsaving. Then all of a sudden there was an update of 4.6GB.
Then this came to fruition, which I can highly recommend to everyone. Make your own backup from the Saves folder. I had done that when I took a break.
I deleted everything from the Saves folder and copied my backup into the same one.
Start and "blurred" intro screen as usual and I got my offline Chars back.
I love my backups!

[worthy plover]

I think the thing I was trying to use was a bugged skilled in the armblade locust summoning node. I found a bug report about it from a couple of months back. I just cant summon locusts while its on cooldown. But I didnt realise at first it was bugged

[slate snow]

yesterday, can it be that i enter offline? had some connection issues earlier but internet is working now and i do enter online mode

[wicked vault]

Does 0.9.1 may 25th does wipe something? charachters or not? plz help 🙂

[fresh aspen]

no

[latent canyon]

no limit just rng. ive seen 3lp

[faint cape]

Ahh, okay yeah that one doesn't work. Locust swarm also doesn't deal much cold damage when converted to cold. Bug is buggy

[foggy totem]

Just our memories

[wicked vault]

Ok thx

[onyx osprey]

Interested to know too. Got the same pack back in 2018 🙂

[glad orbit]

Hi, current characters are offline characters? can I play NOW after last path and keep my progress after full release ? Bough tis game about two years ago an I don't wont to repeat everything, thanks in advance.

[native sail]

Current characters can be offline or you can make online ones, whatever you prefer. They cannot be swapped, so if you make an offline one it will always be an offline one. Progress is not planned to be wiped ever.

[glad orbit]

Like I said before I bought this game two years before, how to login now? I've got steam account but i cant login on lastepoch.com, and how to download game?

[native sail]

If you didn't buy it on Steam initially you'll have to go through the migration process here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/migration-to-steam/52234
If you did buy it through Steam just... download through Steam's store.

[glad orbit]

Thanks much 🙂

[dense lynx]

I recently got my first mage to lvl 50. Have been enjoying the lightning abilities is there a good build for lightning I can follow?

[sinful laurel]

SB or sorc? Sorry you got drowned out in mage

[dense lynx]

Not a problem at all! I spec into sorc not sure if that was a mistake or not lol

[sinful laurel]

Nah lightning has some really nice setups for both SB and sorc. What skills have you liked so far?

[dense lynx]

Two main skills that have been my go to is static org and lightning strike

[sinful laurel]

When you say lightning strike you mean lightning blast I assume?

[dense lynx]

Oh yes my bad haha

[sinful laurel]

Np. You are kind of going down the current meta path for lightning sorc already. I don't have access to the planner currently and I'm sure some other people will see this and jump in with either published builds or their planners. But generally the idea is to stack mana and scale the damage of your SO on mana within the tree, this is your big, high cost nuke. Then you can either speed cast or channeled cast LB for trash. Focus for mana recovery and buffs, teleport for traversal and buffs, flame ward for defense and damage. For a new player that's generally how I would set it up

[dense lynx]

Okay thank you so much for the guidance. Coming from necro this has been a pleasant change of pace just a lot I need to learn as I begin to push towards monos and such!

[sinful laurel]

I can't give more detailed help atm sorry , but mage chat can once it calms down a bit

[dense lynx]

Okay sounds good!

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, is there a way to turn off effects that your character creates? Through abyssal echoes, rive, anomaly, mobs, and echoes, I can’t see anything on the ground

[forest vapor]

no, there is no specific option to disable skill visual effects and such yet afaik.

[lethal flicker]

Ah I see. That’s a bummer tbh. Thanks though

[narrow flicker]

Is early access still open for free?

[native sail]

No. It has only been open for free once, for a week, and only a portion of the game as it was essentially just a demo to test multiplayer

[narrow flicker]

I see, thank you.

[carmine palm]

do blessings for item type droprate affect dungeon boss drops?

[faint cape]

The boss drops in general yes, but their exclusive drops no

[inland crypt]

I’m at 66 level. To push to 80 are my better doing monoliths or farming exp somewhere or keys or what?

[pure tangle]

whats this? lol

[potent rapids]

There has to be a better way to get specific exalted item types for Legendaries than just yoloing monos and hoping the reward rolls. What is it?

[buoyant sinew]

dungeon rewards. the extra boss drops in T4 temporal sanctum especially

[potent rapids]

I am pretty sure I cannot handle T4 temporal sanctum. I am very bad at mechanics.

[vital saffron]

I'm sure its been asked and I missed it but will there be a character reset when the Rising Flames patch hits if the 25th?

[potent rapids]

It's been asked about a billion times and the answer is no.

[vital saffron]

Ya I figured just couldn't find it on Google or Twitter

[potent rapids]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs is a good place to search also

[near path]

Lightless Arbor is also a good option

you can sink a good amount of gold into getting an absolute metric ton of exalteds

Soulfire Bastion is kinda eh in comparison but might work better if you just wanna specifically gun for ONE item type

[potent rapids]

That's still mega random though isn't it? Like you can't get specific slots, just generically it pukes exalts at you

[near path]

Lightless is random yes

Bastion you can just buy what you need

and combined with your RNG on the run itself, it can net you some pretty solid stuff

quality > quantity sort of thing in case of Bastion

[potent rapids]

If the item type is there, anyway

Granted I only did two runs, but I got to the gambler and there wasn't anything I was looking for there =/

[inland crypt]

Is there anything special you can/should do with legendaries that aren’t for your build?

[potent rapids]

Keep them in case they're good for another build you do in the future

[inland crypt]

This toon is offline so not sure I’ll do another that way. Kinda regret doing offline now.

[faint cape]

The daily rotations give +X to a specific item type

[potent rapids]

Daily rotations?

[narrow flicker]

Where can I find my sentinels base melee dmg range? I don't see it in the stats

[native sail]

First off, that's a skill-by-skill basis
Second, not listed in game, you'll have to check lastepochtools

[buoyant sinew]

base damage for melee skills tends to be extremely low though

most commonly 2

[narrow flicker]

Okay, cool. I'll look into that

[faint cape]

The current daily modifier (the overview only shows T4, but T3 is also fine and you can check in the individual dungeon pages) https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dungeons

[narrow flicker]

Also found the in-game guide which explained "Base Damage" further! Very helpful guide I must say

[native sail]

Yup. It's not 100% up to date, it has some stuff that needs to be rewritten, but the vast majority of it is very nice

[sinful laurel]

no

[narrow flicker]

nope

[potent rapids]

Oh, yuck. What an awful mechanic.
Thanks for telling me about it though

[polar verge]

I tried my first dungeon today and after clearing the first level and upon entering the next one, I just died. I don't exactly know how i died when i was still on loading screen but has anyone else encountered such issues?

If so, is there any work around to this? I don't really wanna go with coin flip approach to this since dungeons need keys and all

[candid elm]

Was it Lightless Arbor? If so, you're not the only one encountering that bug
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/dungeon-lightness-arbor/58554 https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/13nltwt/lightless_arbor_every_time_i_pass_through_the/

I'd just suggest trying a different dungeon until this bug gets fixed

[polar verge]

Oh! ty

[wheat saddle]

this is not a bug. you need to have the kindling not at 0, otherwise you die. @polar verge

[deft gazelle]

can someone explain to me how negative mana works

[potent rapids]

If you have 5 mana and cast a spell that costs 50 mana, it will put you at -45 mana.

You cannot cast any more spells that cost mana until you regen/regain to >0 mana.

[sinful laurel]

unless that spell costs 0 mana

or attack

[deft gazelle]

so it just allows you to cast 1 spell at most regardless of mana cost as long as you have at least 1 mana

[potent rapids]

Correct

[deft gazelle]

\hmmm

ok neat

is there any weird synergy to it later in the game?

[potent rapids]

No

[deft gazelle]

like, idk, faster negative regen or like

ok cool

so its just gonna stay the same

its neat ig

kinda weird

[sinful laurel]

wait what, yes there is some huge synergy with negative mana

for certain classes

[potent rapids]

I've only ever seen skill specific mention/caring/interaction with negative mana

There is not broadly synergy to it later in the game

[sinful laurel]

sorc and spellblade have several different interactions with negative mana, as do quite a few different sentinel builds

[deft gazelle]

is there a quick sell / transfer button

like in poe theres ctrl click

doesnt seem to be a thing here

maybe im crazy

[sinful laurel]

shift + right click iirc

[deft gazelle]

yep ur right

ty

[sinful laurel]

it says it at the bottom

[deft gazelle]

does it actually

wtf

where

i dont see nothing

[sinful laurel]

at the bottom of the shop window, lists shortcuts

[deft gazelle]

ah

yep

i see

okok

[polar verge]

Im pretty sure it was around 90+ as i had just refilled it by killing the dungeon specific mob. And apparently other players faced similar issue according to those posts

[wheat saddle]

ever since i got kindling i never encountered this issue anymore

[polar verge]

I don't understand. You're talking about the burning amber that's given to players upon entering the dungeon, right?

[narrow flicker]

My stat sheet in the "Other" tab says I do Poison Dmg and Frostbite Dmg, yet no items nor skills have these dmg types. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

[native sail]

Poison, frostbite, ignite, and electrify are all DoT ailments. They have individual base damage, you're likely just seeing those on the sheet even if you can't apply them.

[spark vale]

is Titan heart body armor a rare drop? i dont think ive found one yet

[urban fog]

So about cosmetics, when i last played, I dont think I could have any? at least within the transmog system (if there is one i guess?)
Are all cosmetics going to be within the store, or will there be any decent amount of standard customisation available freely? dyes and regular transmogs, stuff like that?

[ruby badge]

if im understand correctly it will be from mtx shop only, but who knows in the future

[urban fog]

that would really suck to have it so forced

[ruby badge]

https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/899770/view/3726210660313295221?l=english

[urban fog]

i read through that, dont think i spotted the answer to my Q is all :]

[ruby badge]

that news was meant to be sent with my previous answer, but i forgot. That was the latest news about cosmetics which is only in MTX Shop.

i suggest try to ask your question in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[crude jewel]

can someone confirm that rogues blood revelry is bugged and not working? with bow equipped at least

[faint cape]

As far as I know, transmog is a "might be nice to have" system. They do plan on rewarding EP for certain things, and maybe earnable cosmetics, but we don't have any specific info on that yet.

[faint cape]

How did you test it, and did you search the forums for existing bug reports?

[urban fog]

if its only via paid options, or getting enough EP via events, its going to really suck

[faint cape]

I do hope they do the transmog, but aside from that I would expect pretty limited customizability without paid options

[inland crypt]

The idea of only being able to change your look by paying is annoying. Even money hungry blizzard let’s you transmog.

[crude jewel]

i dont get at all more then my normal heal reg, i tested it on same mob everytime, dont get any heal at all except heal reg and yes google and forum didnt help only found one reddit post 3 month ago that it dont work for him but not more

@faint cape does it work for you?

[faint cape]

I'll see if I can test it real quick

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, does the blind ailment throw off enemy aoe accuracy by any chance?

Or is it just the ones that shoot arrows and throw axes at you and stuff?

[faint cape]

It definitely works

[crude jewel]

so it works for you?

[faint cape]

Yes, I tested by draining my health using exsang, then swapping on titan heart to disable my health regen

before speccing the leech node, my health doesn't budge when hitting the dummy with flurry, then I spec in and I leech health with flurry

[crude jewel]

with melee or bow?

[faint cape]

bow, since that's what you mentioned

[tardy musk]

anyone else not able to create echos in mono? I joined someone else and can get in theirs but everytime i try to make one, it freezes on loading echo

exited game and steam several times

[trim saffron]

Hi is time line bos is a rare enemie ? High health enemie ? Hmm

[minor vigil]

timeline bosses are not rare enemies

look up "high health" in the game guide

it means above 65% health

[candid elm]

Look at the links I posted. There's screenshots showing they are not at 0.

[stray gale]

Is there a possibility to resent my account progress to the patch? Friends and I are currently trying to figure out how best to do this, if you delete your chars and items, the shards still remain -.- we were hyped at first, but the news that there will be no reset probably doesn't make us do it after all to play and wait for 1.0

[merry aspen]

Whenever people have asked this question in the past they were referred to support. No idea if that bore any fruit though.

!support

[ripe brook]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[stray gale]

Thanks but we have now decided to just wait for a reset to 1.0, there will certainly be enough play for the beta to be well tested

[turbid geode]

does anyone had issue "enter game" in offline?

and if I create new character it will be stuck in loading screen

[candid elm]

I don't believe there will be a reset. It sounds like the current online will become the "standard" online game mode. Whenever Last Epoch's version of leagues/seasons get introduced - which are going to be called Cycles - you can then optionally choose to play in that Cycles game mode. The Cycles game mode will have everyone who chooses to play in it starting fresh each Cycle.

[somber depot]

Heya. I'm trying to learn about optimizing gear per slot. I noticed for basic items (let's say boots for now) there's set number of 'base' items, one for every 7 levels or so. (So like Leather Boots lvl 1, Refuge Boots lvl 8, Iron Greaves lvl 16...) Each of these base items seems to have set innate stats. (IE: Shrine Boots lvl 58 have armor, increased movement speed, and reduced duration of stuns. Where as Solarum Greaves lvl 67 have much more armor, movement speed, and fire resistance.) Am I to understand then that if I wanted, for example, the maximum amount of reduced duration of stuns in my build, then I should stick with the Shrine boots and their 8 armor, because Solarum Greaves will only ever have the fire resist innately? (Before considering affixes.)

Maybe to put it more simply, are Solarum Greaves the only kind of boots I actually want to consider as a base when I'm lvl 67+, and then I have to rely on using affix slots to tune them the way I want?

[merry aspen]

Everything you said is correct. For terminology the stats in the item base are called implicits (makes it easier to refer to them).

What kind of item base you would want depends on your class and build (which im sure you have already figured out). That can mean that you would rather have implicits from a base that has a lower level requirement that what you are able to wear. It is true that higher level bases roll stronger implicits but not every implicit is found on a high level base, which is why you might want a lower level one.

[somber depot]

Alright thanks for confirming.

If that's the case, and base items have implicits unique to them, then are there affixes that are unique to them too? IE: Can I only put movement speed on boots? Can I only put increased life on chest and not weapons?

If so, is there a way to tell what gear slots can or can not hold what affixes? (And is there a real difference between prefixes and suffixes for that matter?)

[merry aspen]

There are indeed certain affixes that only fit on certain gear pieces. You can check this by searching up a specific shard in your materials window (either via your inventory or the crafting window) and hovering over it.

When it comes to prefixes vs suffixes, prefixes are generally offense-oriented whereas suffixes are defense-oriented. That you way you usually don't have to choose between building an item defensely or offensively. You can always do both.

[somber depot]

Awesome, thanks for the hovering tip, I don't know how I missed that. Thanks!

[merry aspen]

You're welcome.

[somber depot]

Haha, alright, there's a billion affixes. Is there a cheat sheet anywhere of the most common affixes that are exclusive to each gear slot?

[sinful laurel]

Lastepochtools.com

[somber depot]

Actually considering the prefix/suffix split, and search, it's not too bad. I have an idea what I'm after anyway.

all of a sudden my friend cant use shadow skills any more with his blade dancer... anyone has this happen to them?

[sinful laurel]

How is he generating shadows?

Was

[thin tinsel]

and now his dagger is gone

wtf

[sinful laurel]

That's why he can't gen shadows lol, needs melee weapon/dual wielding generally

[thin tinsel]

nvm

he

accidently moved his second dagger in the box

.......

[umbral mason]

ahh an arpg classic move.

that and accidental weapon swap

[somber depot]

What's the difference between "health on melee hit" and "melee damage leeched as health?"

[urban horizon]

Leech is based on the damage enemy takes and happens over 3s duration while health on hit is instant but has a static value. Leech is stronger by far since it scales with your dmg

[somber depot]

Ahh thanks. Would both stats benefit from some other stat such as "increased healing effectiveness?"

[urban horizon]

Neither of those stats will benefit from increased healing however leech does have affixes that benefits it such as leech rate

[somber depot]

Oh? So the "Increased healing effectiveness" affix is only relevant to, like, an explicit heal spell?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

Certain spells scale damage off of healing eff as well

[somber depot]

Hmm. Alright thanks for the info. Was I far off thinking increased healing effectiveness would increase heling from the 'heal on hit' and 'leech' mechanics? Is the interaction, or lack of, explained somewhere?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah it's explicitly stated in the leech description of the game guide iirc

Also any healing skill that scales off of healing eff will generally state as much in the tooltip

Also just fyi,healing eff doesn't affect health Regen either

[urban horizon]

You are not the first person to think that. That being said last epoch has very nice in-game guide and alt tooltips to explain stuff.

[somber depot]

Yeah true. I'm going through all the details now. I'm on my first lvl 70, trying to learn what affixes/stats are out there, and what ones will help my build specifically.

[faint cape]

Something that is commonly overlooked is armor shred, it benefits all hit damage builds

[somber depot]

Oh good to know. Yeah I can see that.

[somber depot]

I set up a loot filter in town (end of time), and shortly after entering a monolith I had this something drop. I held x to temporarily disable the loot filter, but it didn't disable it. I opened the loot filter window and tried to change it to none, but it was unresponsive. When it finally let me choose no filter, the item still isn't visible, and I can't close the filter window. Any workarounds for this bug?

[sinful laurel]

Try pressing z or alt+z

[somber depot]

Ah! Alt+Z worked. I can see the items on the ground now. But I still can't close the filter window.

[sinful laurel]

That sounds like a thing that a relog will help

[somber depot]

Shoot. Well, was just a lower level monolith.

Thank you.

[sinful laurel]

You did pick up the rune right??

[somber depot]

Oh hah, esc doesn't bring up the menu either. Gotta Alt+F4.

Yeah it was a glyph of dispare.

[sinful laurel]

Yeah those are like gold

[somber depot]

Whaaaaat, I had spammed esc with no result. But after responding just now, I went back and spammed it again, and the filter window did close. So inconsistent. :o

[sinful laurel]

Hmm not sure. If it keeps happening verify integrity of game files

[somber depot]

After it closed, everything seemed to be working as normal. So to test, I opened the filter window again, changed the filter, and it's stuck again. I guess atm it's best practice to relog after changing a filter?

Alright.

[sinful laurel]

Yeah something got messed up with the filter it sounds like

[acoustic thicket]

Does anyone know if the boots Foot of the Mountain actually work or not? When I have a stack of mountains endurance, the character sheet doesnt reflect a increase in endurance threshold. Not sure if its actually working or just a tooltip bug

[sinful laurel]

They work

[native sail]

I believe others have been using them just fine

Character sheet needs a lot

[acoustic thicket]

Ok thank you. I just started using them and my build isnt where I want them to be to notice their usability but didnt want to build up this toon if they werent

[inland crypt]

How high level can you gamble gear? I feel like im@on early monolith (75) and haven’t upgraded anything in ages

[sinful laurel]

Regular gambler only goes up to level 40

The loot filter doesn't currently have the logic for what affixes can even be found on a given piece of gear, right? IE: I can make a rule to highlight all helmets with + movement speed, but there can't be any helmets with + movement speed, right?

[inland crypt]

So how do I upgrade gear and what’s all this gold good for

[sinful laurel]

You find upgrades in timeline echoes, craft/improve upgrades at the forge. Gold is generally used in large quantities in lightless arbor dungeon

[faint cape]

Correct, that'll just never match anything

[somber depot]

Thank you.

is it true that low level unique items have higher lp drop rate? if so, anyone would know approximately the odds of getting a lvl 20 unique with lp3+ versus a lvl 70 unique with lp2+?

i ask this because im wondering if i should throw my best exalted ring to craft a legendary julra's with lp1 or try to farm another with higher lp (idk how much i should expect to decide it's good enough tho)

[faint cape]

Generally speaking, yes. Some items have a modified "effective level" for LP, this can be seen on LETools or TunkLab.
We don't know exact rates for LP, but a level 70 unique that drops from a dungeon boss will be very lucky to get 2LP+ on

[rotund gyro]

i definitely wouldnt waste my best exalted on a 1 lp, but im sure ya will come across something that could work in the interim

[sinful laurel]

Unless you can dupe it

[sick rampart]

thanks everyone! ill keep farming it then

oh yeah i slept at the rune of creation, shit i dumped forging potential and completely forgot about it

[faint cape]

Yep, especially not on Julra's more common uniques, since they have minimum 1LP they are a dime a dozen

quick question about electrify javelin

is scaling electrify a valid thing, or should i build crit instead

[sinful laurel]

You can absolutely scale electrify dsmage, same as you would any other damage ailment

[lime aspen]

and since its DOT, crit is useless other than the hit, right?

[sinful laurel]

You don't even care about the hit honestly

No reason to scale crit damage or the actual hit (i.e. don't need flat damage)

[lime aspen]

yeah so get DoT increases, and just ignore hit damage

oh really... i thought throwing damage scaled electrify damage

[sinful laurel]

Lightning damage affixes still scale though. % lightning, % dot and most importantly % ele dot

[lime aspen]

so thats all useless then

ok awesome, thanks for the info!

[sinful laurel]

Also keep in mind that damage increases WITHIN the skill that applies do magnify the dot damage as long as they don't specify hit

As do attribute based damage increases

[lime aspen]

so "holy spears" modifier doesnt affect elec damage?

[sinful laurel]

Correct

[lime aspen]

wow ok

that was a miss on my part haha

[sinful laurel]

Ailment dots have their own base dmg

[lime aspen]

gotcha, thank you!

[sinful laurel]

Consider turani's bident. It's the best way to get a lot of electrify chance

Electrify chance isn't well supported on gear. Read: it isn't supported at all

[lime aspen]

yeah im scaling bleed and ignite chance right n ow

[sinful laurel]

Cool cool

just completed my last lvl 90 monolith, ALL monolith quests complete. Where do you get empowered monoliths? I was expecting some unlock or quest that opens those up?

[sinful laurel]

Return to the island in the middle of the final three timelines. Click on the blue

[round adder]

Nope, nothing to click on there. I see the blue broken looking monolith thing, but can't interact with it. There's no lvl requirement is there? I'm 85

[sinful laurel]

Relog and try again. Known issue

[cedar locust]

Question - Can you respec all passive points at the Brain NPC?

[round adder]

Yes

[cedar locust]

Thank you! Saved me opening the game to check/a bunch of googling!

[round adder]

Cannot changed the mastery, but all passives can be changed. One at a time, which is honestly a bit of a pain

[cedar locust]

Ah, bit of a pain yeah

[faint cape]

Don't forget 0.9 added the ability to 'confirm' by pressing Enter! Literally saves SO much time

[sinful laurel]

Except they didn't do it for skill respec by point too!!! I was sad

Much less of a big deal but still 🙂

[faint cape]

😣 - at least we have a kinda roundabout respec-all button

[cedar locust]

I learn so much about features I never use from you guys 😅

[faint cape]

If the relog doesn't work, touch each of the 3 level 90 monos (to open their echo webs - you can use the waypoints to speed things up), then go to that center island

[round adder]

Thanks, relogging did not work, I left it for later. Will try that next

[faint cape]

I guess you don't need to know about respeccing if you never make any mistakes

[cedar locust]

I don't use guides, I don't use the loot filter, I'm definitely crafting poorly, I make lots of mistakes XD

(Why does this give 'intro to the MCR - I'm not Okay video' vibes? lol)

[faint cape]

No loot filter! My eyes hurt thinking about this lol
