[sinful laurel]

Every time hurts

If I had a soul a little would be chipped away each time. Good thing I'm a ginger

[wide sentinel]

ig u are really unlucky, i got 2 3lp and 1 4lp in 3weeks of casual farming on 400~corruption

[safe harness]

Highest I have is 2 lp if it’s any consolation 🙂

[sinful laurel]

I farmed 3800 echoes in storm and I found 1LP max

[wide sentinel]

make a new account

[sinful laurel]

And only like 3 of them

[wide sentinel]

u are cursed fr

[sinful laurel]

I swear to god

No exaggeration

[hallow basin]

Wait don't your farm it in Winter?

[sinful laurel]

Erre winter wtf ever

I PTSD blocked it out ok

Bruv. Use that amulet. Jesus christ

You have like the perfect ignite set

[pastel pebble]

Absolute skill issue I think

[hallow basin]

I know dude but fuck farming for that shit

I hav e like 250 hours on just this character. I have good gear

but

[sinful laurel]

Lol oh yeah I forgot. I also bricked two 3lp kelthans

Two

[hallow basin]

This was one of my first items i crafted when i was new...

Haven't found another 3lp yet

[sinful laurel]

T7 cinder strike, two chances. Lost the 25% each time

[sinful laurel]

That's a nice one

[hallow basin]

I haven't tried cinder really all that much. Im sure its good but i really like the run and gun playstyle on puncture and spam decoy and shift

[sinful laurel]

It was fun AF and I was doing pretty well with it. But as you can imagine I got kinda frustrated

[hallow basin]

That new ww shield is kind of insane

was testing it on this character for fun

[sinful laurel]

Yeah it's very good

[hallow basin]

if I got a good one...

[tranquil silo]

is there a recommended amount of gold to spend on lightless arbor? i just spend all that i have

[dense tinsel]

Is there a way to respect afaster than 1 point at a time?

[native sail]

No

[wind night]

is there any sort of LFG system in the game?

[storm blaze]

There's the lfg chat

[fervent quiver]

Don't think anyone did any extensive "research" there, I'd be curious too. The only advice I can give is don't spend much on tiers 1 or 2, go for 3 or better 4 if you want to spend big

[warm grove]

What’s this Towns new referred to in #news?

[lunar holly]

You see other players in hub areas such as End of Time.

[warm grove]

Oh okay. I have not messed with End of time yet

[sweet cradle]

hello, pretty new to the game, just had a question regarding Font of The Erased ring, what are the drop rates on it, since me and my friend farmed age of winter for like 1500 echoes and corruption 300+ and not even a single one dropped

is there any bug?

[royal flint]

How do I tell if I'm ready for T4 julra? Just try? lol

[steel merlin]

Crazy bad luck? I got a bunch last week

[sweet cradle]

the funny part is me and my friend got literally none, havent seen a single ring drop for like 6 days now

feels rigged at this point

[knotty hinge]

Show the monolith web on the character you used

[sweet cradle]

felt it was rigged and deleted all my characters and made new one

so got only 1 now

cant show sry

[knotty hinge]

Ah convenient

[sweet cradle]

but ye, i farmed age of winter with sorcerer/runemaster/necromancer and now paladin, didnt see 1 drop since i first started the game 10 days ago

same for my friend

just wanted to know am i missing something?

[knotty hinge]

Nevermind

[sweet cradle]

yes

if i find one

[knotty hinge]

Actually misspoke, they are random. Need coffee still

[sweet cradle]

i mean, do they drop like anywhere at random or any other specific spot to farm em other than age of winter?

[knotty hinge]

They can drop anywhere. Age of winter is suggested for the unique/set reward nodes offered in the timeline

[toxic echo]

You can check drop rates on most global things on tunklabs. He has a sim for it

[sweet cradle]

when i go for unique or set ring node and finish it, it gives me sword -_-

[steel merlin]

Oh dear

That ring is the icon of unique item

[knotty hinge]

The orange ring icon is a random unique of any base. You’re looking for the icon with the green and orange palette

[toxic echo]

The full orange nodes are "unique item" nodes, gives any base type. You need to find the orange and green node that states "unique/set ring" in the bottom right

[sweet cradle]

thats the one im talking about

i complete it and it gives me a sword/bow very rarely a ring

[steel merlin]

So when you said you've been farming a week

It was all unempowered monos?

[sweet cradle]

empowered

corruption around 200 at start, then 300

[toxic echo]

Which one are you doing? First will give any unique item...second is rings only

[sweet cradle]

age of winter one

with green/orange ring icon

[steel merlin]

shows as common drop in letools

and tbh, feels like common drop

[lunar holly]

you can't get a sword from the top one

[sweet cradle]

i got one from there on patch 0.9.2c

[lunar holly]

I highly doubt that

[sweet cradle]

i mean, i thought it was a bug tho

restarted my game, tried again, and set ring dropped

[steel merlin]

have you used runes of ascendance too?

[sweet cradle]

ye, on copper/silver/gold rings

got set rings for most part

some uniques

not the ones i needed

[lunar holly]

when you say restarted you mean you did another of the same node ?

[sweet cradle]

different one

[lunar holly]

yeah, different node with same icon ? 😅

let me do mine, might get a sword lol

[sweet cradle]

yes, also been gettin a lot of bugs like dying to game lag/teleporting me while playing alone etc.. so thought this was a bug too unless proven otherswise

[storm blaze]

Rune of ascendance doesn't care about the base
a ring becomes any ring that's not exclusive drop

[sweet cradle]

well thx, for help mates. definetly helped me shed some light on issue i had, im off to farming. Again thanks a lot

[trail dome]

is there a way to control which skill point is removed from a skill when you unequip an item that had +levels? I keep having to respec because it removes a point from something I need instead of the skill that was given the extra +1

[toxic echo]

short answer, no.

but its not random

[acoustic thicket]

what is stronger for paladin javelin or hammerdin ? please

[trail dome]

maybe not random but something influences it, this last time it removed a point from a node I maxed ages ago instead of anything I put into recently

[toxic echo]

longer answer- it takes a point as close to the center as possible, that doesnt put it below the required points to unlock a node that is already taken. like if you have 3 points in a node, but it only needed 2 to unlock the next node, and you have the next node. if no such node exists, it takes one from the end of the path you have taken

[faint cape]

Yeah, it always tries to take points out of nodes you have the most points in, as long as it can safely remove points from them

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, do quivers absolutely require you to use a bow? (No other weapons allowed, like say, wands)

[faint cape]

Basically, yes. Either a bow or empty hands.

[humble steeple]

Hi, guys. I have a problem with the Lightless Arbor dungeon. When we move to the second level, we are always permanently dead. Three out of three cases. Is it a bug or we are doing something wrong?

[buoyant roost]

Thanks 🙂

[trail dome]

thank you, rather annoying way to do it but oh well

[rapid niche]

I just got done with the campaign, when doing echoes is it worth going for the bonus stability or is it enough to just get the objective done asap?

[royal mural]

Just spam objectives

[candid elm]

Yeah just complete it and go to the next one

[dusky kite]

from experience you'd want at least around 4-6 mil to reasonably optimize rewards

[radiant orbit]

hey guys, i connected a Dualsense controller but i get XBOX buttons layout. is there any way to change that? even a mod?

hey guys, i had no issue with the game for the last 4 days, but today i get to character select screen then when i press Enter Game, it shows a white box then crashes the game, anyone else know this issue?

[cedar locust]

That could be a Unity Crash - this thread might help you out https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1149711332090851418

[brisk hornet]

Empowered monolith are the improved version of the normal ones. You cen read about them here: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/monolith/empowered-guide

[fluid quest]

thanks will give a shot

[crude delta]

I tried beating the monolith bosses multiple times before doing orobos or whatever his name was to gain more corruption. For some reason I only ever get +4 corruption when i do him. Am I missing something?

[cinder fossil]

you get more corruption from orobyss echoes you encounter further out in the web

you also get bonus corruption depending on how many times you kill the timeline boss before killing orobyss

[crude delta]

Ooh, so I have to find multiple of the orobyss encounter before hitting it. That's very doable 🙂

[cinder fossil]

• additional catchup corruption if one of your echoes is higher corruption than others

[crude delta]

I killed the black bird 3 times and then killed orobyss, only got +4, which i get if i dont do it any times. 😦

[cinder fossil]

are you in empowered or normal monoliths?

that doesnt sound right

[crude delta]

But I can easily just find more of the orobyss fight before doing him. Might need to mix it? Some timeline boss and orobyss nodes?

Normal monoliths

Trying to get to +200

[cinder fossil]

normal monoliths cap out at 50 corruption

[crude delta]

Wait... I thought they became empowered when reaching +200

[cinder fossil]

empowered monoliths start at 100 and dont have a cap

[crude delta]

I need to reread 😄

[cinder fossil]

no, you unlock empowered monoliths by completing the 3 level 90 timelines at the top and activating the thing at the island where they intersect

[crude delta]

oooh, then i can just activate it 🙂

Thanks a lot

Worked like a charm. Came up that they are empowered now. 🙂

And now I can see gaze of orobyss comes up as well. Answers everything

[radiant orbit]

should i sell gear or is there a way to salvage it?

[surreal verge]

Runes of shatterings, else don't pick it up, they sell for close to nothing

[quick crown]

you can salvage gear with this, you get it from npc vendors

only salvage gear that have stats you need

[lunar holly]

did you get your loot filter sorted, Thorag ?

[knotty tinsel]

maybe you're "showing" something in a rule above your actual filtering rules

[quick crown]

no

if you have time i would very much like some help

[lunar holly]

sure

[radiant orbit]

so i should filter low whites from the start for example?

[surreal verge]

Yup

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, for assemble abomination, how much does the default skill get in 'more damage' per minion absorbed? (That is, without any of the tree species out). Sorry, it's just that the tooltip says more damage, but I'm not sure how much.

[faint cape]

Known bug, happens when you use the 'emphasis' option in the filter

[faint cape]

None. At base, it gets 30% increased damage per minion.

[buoyant roost]

Thanks!

[quick crown]

i see

[leaden grail]

Can someone give me a rough estimate of how much increased minion damage I would need to make up for the 42 flat damage gained from the Pebble set? I am using Skeleton Archers and I'm sitting at 303% increased minion damage.

[faint cape]

It depends on your other sources of flat damage, and probably need to account for the % increases on the Pebble's set, too. Archers have 25 base phys damage.

42 is quite a lot, but the opportunity cost from those three slots is pretty high, too.

[leaden grail]

Exactly

[crude delta]

Can i use the soulfire dungeons to add exalted stats to a rare item?

[hollow mango]

Does crit chance over 100% do anything

[icy drift]

no

[icy drift]

no

[leaden grail]

On Hungering Souls, if I spec Isolation (+100% size and damage, 1 soul max) , does that effectively disable Risen Cemetery (40% chance for 6 extra projectiles)?

[native sail]

[icy drift]

yes

[royal swallow]

hey guys, sorry if its been answered, i poked around here and online and couldnt find the fix for my specific issue going on.

long story short, i have soloed the 3 lvl 90 bosses in the last 3 monoliths, and have even unlocked the lvl 100 corruption monoliths on a few of the other ones, but i have no way to access empowered monoliths, and cannot select the 100 corruption option for all monoliths, just certain ones(even though i have completed all monoliths and have the blessings etc on each) the device in the middle of the 3 final monoliths is not lit up on my map, and i cannot interact with it if i just run there...so im confused. can anyone help?

[dense root]

i think last time this bug was around people had to do another echo in a level 90 timeline then go back to the middle island and rewatch the cinematic?

not 100% sure but that's what i remember

[royal swallow]

weird, ill try that, cuz ive been kinda just farting about doing whatever monoliths i can, but nothing is unlocking it, and i havent seen any cinematic

[arctic rain]

how do i get these passives ?

[sinful laurel]

you can only get the mastery passives from the mastery you chose

[arctic rain]

ah

how do i get mana on my shit ;-;

[sinful laurel]

you find gear with mana on it, or craft mana on gear

or invest in mana in passives

[arctic rain]

yeah ik, just unlucky with the gear

[sinful laurel]

or on idols

or on blessing

[arctic rain]

what blessing gives mana?

[pine trail]

So I'm stuck on a quest Return to Yulia and lagon, both say boad the ship to soreth'ka. I'm where the map says to be but can't figure out where to go.....any ideas?

[arctic rain]

oh ok

even if it's somehow not a bug it's very annoying

[vagrant loom]

Are people doing rota for the "Unique or set" node ?

[faint cape]

No, that doesn't work here. Only the person picking gets the thing they pick.

[vagrant loom]

I mean just to share the node and if it hits one of the 2 items needed then gg ? or do i miss something ?

[faint cape]

Oh, you mean like gifting if multiple people are looking for different items of the same type? You could try finding people to farm with you in #👥┃lfg, but maybe there are better places, I just wouldn't know of them personally.

[vagrant loom]

okay

[safe harness]

what do you want to work?

[pale timber]

Chaos the bad mod if there are many acceptable ones in the pool/yolo remove OR despair the bad mod off if it’s low. Level the rest with glyph of hope. Refine or catch the new mod on a high roll with glyph of order if it’s important to ensure it stays high.

Honestly not an item worth fussing about you will quickly find much better

[knotty tinsel]

I'm just posting this exchange from r/lastepoch here because we're having difficulties wrapping our heads around the implications.

depending on order of operations the way this modifies your damage could vary wildly no?

the follow-up question implies that you scale pretty wildly over your amount of more damage sources rather than their size. Which just,

[steel merlin]

If its not a typo(i think it is) if the calculation is 1+moremulti/100x1.1 it doesnt scale with the amount of sources. It does if the calculation is (1+moremulti/100)x1.1 but i think the wording implies the first formula

[knotty tinsel]

that's the way I would assume it works yes. every more multiplier is simply up to 10% more effective. But that second question means something else, and gets confirmed in the answer.

[steel merlin]

yeah nah theres no way it is "times"

it can be "to the power of" which would be the second formula i posted, but times no way

Hi, is there any specific time for releasing of 1.0? Or is there any planned sale before it?

[dense root]

this year but no exact date and no sales before 1.0

[tardy spear]

You mean 2023 or 2024?

[dense root]

2023

[knotty tinsel]

what is the current year

[tardy spear]

Since we are almost at the end of the 2023 it's not clear at all. Don't push your luck.

[tardy spear]

Thanks

[icy drift]

afaik each "more" modifier is it's own "bucket", as in you have your flat damage "bucket" and your increased damage "bucket", all your flat goes into the flat bucket and all your increased goes into the increased bucket. But each more modifier is it's own bucket, even if it's the exact same thing (like two oceareon's) they're still two individual buckets, and then you multiply all your buckets together to get your final damage, so yeah, if you have:

5 * (1 + 120%) * (1 + 20%) * (1 + 10%) without an oceareon for example, and we get a stack of shock, it becomes:
5 * (1 + 120%) * (1 + 20%) * (1 + 10%) * (1 + 1%), you can then just multiply the oceareon stack with all the other modifiers and it basically does what mike said it'd do; increase all of the other more mods by 1%:
(5 * (1+ 1%)) * ((1 + 120%) * (1 + 1%)) * ((1 + 20%) * (1 + 1%)) * ((1 + 10%) * (1 + 1%))

so in this case 5 is our flat, we have 120 increased and then two more multipliers, one for 20% and one for 10%

[faint cape]

Actually, often times if they are the same stat, they are the same "bucket", even for more. Dual Oceareons stack additively, probably.

[icy drift]

i think i remember someone asking something like this and it wasn't additive

wait do we even know if oceareon is capped at 10 stacks? feels like it should be the talk of the town if it isn't

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

you would be able to get way too much damage

[faint cape]

Yeah, it would be super noticeable if it went over 10. Also it wouldn't make any sense for it to be that way, but sometimes things are, in fact, silly

[faint cape]

I couldn't find anything on this either, so I guess I don't know if my understanding was right

[icy drift]

ohh you know what it was

i think it was red ring dr

[steel merlin]

i curse whoever started with the buckets

[icy drift]

that i remembered

[icy drift]

ngl i first heard about the bucket thing from D4 players trying to understand math, but it's the same as saying groups, or boxes, containers whatever

[steel merlin]

or you know

multipliers

[icy drift]

well, it'd get confusing saying you have to multiply some multipliers and add some multipliers with other multipliers

seperating them in groups makes it a whole lot easier

or "buckets"

[steel merlin]

you dont talk about multiplying multipliers because thats what the name already says

[faint cape]

One of my coworkers constantly uses the word bucket, among other silly words, and he's the most incompetent person I've ever worked with. I get a chuckle every time I see it used now, lol

[icy drift]

like i said, first place i heard someone use it was for D4, so it kinda checks out tbh

i just think of them as sets kinda, idc what word is used to group them together but i think grouping them together is nice, to identify which ones are additive with which and which are multiplicative with which, since like you said maybe two ocereaons are additive with eachother but multiplicative with the rest.

[native lichen]

what hp pool is good to have when entering the monolits after the campain? also for the empowered monolits too?

[dense root]

after campaign not sure

tbh doesn’t matter a ton

regular monoliths are pretty easy

the first couple are easier than the last campaign chapter even

for empowered i generally recommend minimum 2k health

and you want that number to grow pretty steadily as you increase corruption

[native lichen]

i heard before that 200-300% corruption is alright when it comes for drop chances but i don`t know what kinda defenses you need there. i usually get bored whenever i reach the empowered onces

[dense root]

for a health build you can do 300 corruption with just capped endurance, capped crit avoid, and a couple thousand health

in terms of drop rates you’ll notice a pretty steady increase in good drops well past 300 corruption, until somewhere in the late hundreds or early 1000s

[native lichen]

what does capped endurance means?

[icy drift]

60% endurance

Is the cap

[dense root]

yeah that

[icy drift]

There's also endurance threshold but you don't want to get much of that, since hp also scales threshold

So instead of putting endurance threshold on something just put hp

[native lichen]

alright thanks guys

[frozen sandal]

I went in w 1500 on hardcore without a problem, if that helps. But hard to say on its own, res/armor/etc matters too

I’m up to the 85 one and closer to 2500 now.

[native lichen]

how much armor do you have? res have to me max

[frozen sandal]

I think I was around 20% dmg reduction from armor. Can’t remember how much armor I had numerically

[pastel pebble]

A big thing is damage reduction from things in the skill tree, gear, and passives

[icy drift]

yeah, something like flame ward and good managment of it can carry you by itself in like 300 corruption +

wouldn't really recommend for hc though obviously

[thin hill]

Is it possible to Hide Items with Exalted Affixes like Lighning Damage ? If Lightning Damage is the exalted roll ? And show it if it is not the exalted roll ?

[icy drift]

yes

kinda hard to explain how in text though

[thin hill]

I got a Filter it is like this

Visibility Hide

Rule 1 : Rarity Exalted
Rule 2: Item Type 32 Selcted
Rule 3 : Affix 328 Selected
With at Least 1 of these affixes on the same item

But i am not sure if it just hides now all exalteds with roll xy even if it isnt the exalted roll

[icy drift]

if you want i can hop into a voicechannel and try to help, would be much easier

[thin hill]

I ll jump into the General channel

[steel merlin]

I think it is more intuitive to hide everything and then show(starting from the bottom)

[icy drift]

yup that's what i said too, they might change it but oh well

[native lichen]

is there a way to check my currecnt crit chance with said attack?

[dense root]

no

well

[native lichen]

maybe i`m missing something but the game is showing me that i have 0% chance to crit when i have taken crit chance from the skill tree

[dense root]

you could do the math by hand

do you have a singularity equipped

[native lichen]

yeah

[dense root]

then you can't crit

[native lichen]

thanks

it would be nice to see the crit chance separetly because some skill have extra crit chance in their skill tree

[dusky kite]

yeah they've promised to rework/update the stat sheet but the timeline on that is up to anyone's guess

not this year though

[acoustic thicket]

i dont understand i have decent gear with my flame wraith necro and not feeling comfortable to do more than 100 corrupt because this build is supposed to be S tier ?

[dusky kite]

what exactly is your problem with corruption though? Oneshots? Low sustain? Bad clear?

I abandoned my necro halfway through gearing up wraiths but even with a largely experimental build and bad gear I found ~250 corr to be fairly easy

[visual bramble]

Can the recasts of Shatter Strike also proc on-hit effects? Specifically I'm curious whether each strike has a chance to cast Frost Claw if I have Macuahuitl skilled.

[royal flint]

is there a faster way to get back to entrance of soulfire bastion other than using the world map teleport

[visual bramble]

Been trying to test it but it's legitimately hard to tell

[acoustic thicket]

tankiness and damage feel a bit squeshy not very tank damage is all right not exceptional

[dusky kite]

I'm like 90% sure that they cannot proc other spells due to the rule that procced spells cannot proc further spells

I'm also pretty sure that this is the reason why frostbite SS builds never ran that node

[dusky kite]

defensive stats are fairly universal in this game, you just need to focus on defensive gearing/mono blessings, damage is above average if you don't use aberrant call and fairly exceptional if you do, but you obviously don't do your whole ramp on trash

[visual bramble]

Is that like a "this always applies" rule? I'm running a wacky build that has SS proccing Frost Claw with Dragorath and I'm pretty certain I'm getting LB procs, I can hear them going off.

[acoustic thicket]

the problem is im at 100 corrupt and i dont feel compfort and my gear is pretty fine so thats Why i am worried i would like to share my gear on the builder tho

[visual bramble]

Maybe item interactions are outside of that rule, would make sense

[dusky kite]

This always applies half of the time. I mean Mike claims that this is intended but in practice there are exceptions

[visual bramble]

Got it

[dusky kite]

I mean, "pretty fine" is a subjective statement and running minion drain life, the nodes that eat minions on health pot usage etc can siginifcantly improve your sustain and thus the overall feel of your build

[acoustic thicket]

Oh i just found out that i can share my build ok https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/0QdJyMyo

[acoustic thicket]

Im just missing some blessings for armor and thats pretty much it it should do more than 100 corruption since its an S tier broken build idk

[dusky kite]

eh, I wouldn't run this build or these uniques at 0 lp, but it might just be me

I'd guess that your main issue is that the stat budget with 0 lp across the board is fairly low here

2,3k health is also on the lower end here

[acoustic thicket]

they just add cast speed on the lp in the guide so i dont think its the issue

[dusky kite]

hybrid health on gloves is a big one

I'm pretty sure that the build you reference also runs a triple health helmet

[acoustic thicket]

I mean 100 corrupt is still fine i just hoped for more

[tranquil drift]

So I got a unique helmet with 250% crit chance. Why do I need that much chance? If I’m at 100% shouldn’t I always be critting?

[sinful laurel]

250% increased on the base crit

[visual bramble]

No, because you only inherently have a 5% chance to crit. 100% would raise that to 10%.

[west mortar]

If you have 5 crit chance it's now 12.5

[sinful laurel]

Also not quite right. 17.5

[tranquil drift]

Oh okay so it’s multiplicative?

[west mortar]

Lmao I'm too tired

[sinful laurel]

Additive with itself

[west mortar]

Yea

[dusky kite]

increased chance to crit is multiplicative with base

more chance to crit or just flat +% chance to crit is additive

[sinful laurel]

And multiplied on the base crit chance

Which is why increasing the base is so important

[tranquil drift]

God I wish I understood math better lol

[sinful laurel]

Base crit*(1+ (sum(increased)))

So for your example. 5*(1+2.5).

[tranquil drift]

Does the sum ever increase? Does that question even make sense? Lol

[sinful laurel]

Not really lol. The sum is just the total of your increased crit

And actually the way I wrote that is slightly confusing

Fixed it

[tranquil drift]

Can the 1 in your equation ever increase

[sinful laurel]

No

[tranquil drift]

Cool. Thanks for the math lesson haha

[dusky kite]

base crit*1 is what you have if you got no increased modifiers

[surreal verge]

You''re not supposed to use julira without the slam, youre defenses is currently crap

[tranquil drift]

And if I have a 250% increase and another item with 30% increase is that base crit*(1+2.8)? Sorry y’all I just wanna understand lol

[sinful laurel]

yes!

[tranquil drift]

https://tenor.com/view/ralphwiggum-smart-simpsons-gif-5270199

Are there items that raise base crit chance?

[surreal verge]

Yup, they say for example "+% melee crit chance"

(note that the word 'increased' is missing)

[tranquil drift]

Is it always a specific type of crit? Like melee, spell, and throw?

[surreal verge]

For flat crit, yeah.

There's one known exception but I THINK you might have seen it before

[tranquil drift]

Oh yeah I have like 20 of these lol

[surreal verge]

Yup, that's the only exception

[odd beacon]

from the flame dungeon ?

[surreal verge]

No this one is the side quest given one.

[tranquil drift]

From the quest

[surreal verge]

The dungeon one is slightly different

[odd beacon]

ko thanks 😉

[dense root]

prismatic gaze

[surreal verge]

WAit prismatic isn't spell only?

[dense root]

it is not

[surreal verge]

OH

WTF

IT ISNT

[dense root]

it is 2-4 generic crit

[pastel pebble]

Oh wild

[surreal verge]

[pastel pebble]

I'll put that on then

[surreal verge]

I need to put a dollar into that jar myself

[tranquil drift]

Okay so if the word “increase” isn’t there then it’s making the base bigger.

[dense root]

prismatic gaze is honestly quite strong

[dusky kite]

I have a 1 lp 4% gaze sitting in my bank for a while now

[surreal verge]

I always thought it was spell, I didn't' knew it was SKILL

[dusky kite]

still thinking of what to merge into it

[surreal verge]

Yes, most likely

[dense root]

although it’s tough since you really have to roll 4%

[tranquil drift]

Do these prism shards deal all of your elemental damage? Like if I have 135% fire, 150% cold, and 165% lightning

[faint cape]

Yeah, and the unfortunate bit is thr 4% is rounded for display only.

[sinful laurel]

no this is not true. Several items have generic global base crit chance increases

oh it got figured out,

[tranquil drift]

Thank you though!

[sinful laurel]

imagine kzb not knowing everything about the game off hand. unreal

[dense root]

yeah i know

[fluid quest]

noob question guys: i want to forge "throwing attack critical strike chance" on my chest but it doens't show up on the list. is it not possible to forge class specific affixes?

[dense root]

you probably don’t have shards

[dusky kite]

make sure you are also on the relevant class

[crude jewel]

can you reroll/forge an experimental affix?

i mean not if i have already one i mean from vitality to experimental f.e.

[dusky kite]

You can use the glyphs of insight to craft experimental affixes

The details of the process however are extremely convoluted so you should look up a guide

I've seen a few on youtube

[cold plaza]

👀

[dusky kite]

now now perry don't be going all surprised pikachu face

[acoustic thicket]

friends, I have problems with map transitions, I think because of the Internet, but how can I Decipher between 60 and 70 ms

help me

[dusky kite]

by the way have they fixed the bug when your experimental affix tier starts at 0 instead of 1 when crafting? Mike said something about wanting to put this into the hotfixes

[crude jewel]

i meant with glyph of chaos

should be possible or?

[dusky kite]

no

[surreal verge]

I wishhh (I didn't knew prism is any)

[unreal hinge]

Well maybe he knows a guy that does guides and stuff

[hybrid hill]

i wanted to ask because im not sure how it works., when you are playing with friends in agroup, if you teleport using the map, did they see the portal effect?. if not... then whats the point of the portal skins ?

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, question. Can the Devour node on Assemble Abomination consume your previous Assemble Abomination?

[steel merlin]

I don't know if they do, but the point is the portal looks good to you

[smoky halo]

anybody else having traffic login issues? I havent been able to get in since the patch

[vagrant loom]

hello, is there any build that go pretty fast like Lightning arrow in poe ?

[blazing gorge]

When an item is labeled as "level X", does that mean this item start to drop from the moment I am level X or that the item drops in zones labeled X forward ?

[dusky kite]

The latter

[tranquil drift]

if an affix is a tier 5 is there any way to get that affix off?

[dense root]

rune of removal

[acoustic thicket]

what u mean by slam ??? you mean LP ?

[surreal verge]

Yeah

[surreal warren]

hey fellas when i go into the monolith or map menu, the screen on the left is very ever so slightly cut off a lil bit, has anyone experienced this and fixed it?

[candid elm]

Removal will always give you that tier number of affix shards that it removes, for example, If removal hits on a Tier 5 affix, you will always get five shards.

Shattering gives a random number of affix shards between zero and the tier number for each affix on the item. You will get a minimum of one affix shard per item shattered, but on items with multiple affixes it's possible that you will get zero of some of those affixes. So if you really want one of the affixes as shards, use Removal.

[tranquil drift]

Ohh okay I gotcha

[candid elm]

You can get pretty speedy on a lot of characters by just getting high movement speed boots and reducing the cooldown on your traversal skill. You can also look for builds that can keep up movement speed buff like Haste buff pretty consistently. Some of the faster builds I've tried have been a Lich using Idols with reduced cooldown on Transplant skill and Transplant specced to give Haste & Frenzy on use. Another is a Runemaster using a reduced cooldown Flame Rush skill and Frost Wall specced for Haste & Frenzy on pass through. There's probably lots of other options, though.

[river oak]

Is there a way to change a prefix to somehting else off this staff IE: remove channeling for other damage?

[cinder fossil]

rune of removal and hope to god you hit it

or glyph of chaos and hope to god you get the one you want

[river oak]

lol ok

so it's me praying either way?

[cinder fossil]

to fully answer your question there is not a determinstic way to get rid of an affix unless its an experimental one

[river oak]

i can't target something specifically

got it

that ansewrs my quesiton

ty 🙂

[odd spruce]

Hello, i am very new to last epoch so please excuse the newb question. I have quests in the monoliths and im not sure how to complete them. Ex. ‘Give the amalgamate souls a different answer to their question’ or ‘Choose a different fate for Liath’

I have completed the 3 side quests to move to the next mono but these are not complete. Is it a specific node I have to complete in the mono?

[cinder fossil]

thats just asking you to complete the timeline (kill the boss) again and choose the option you didnt pick previously

you dont have to worry about doing that

[odd spruce]

Great. I have having quests on that side bar. But if they don’t matter I can get over it. So just get to empowered monos and blast? That I can work with

[cinder fossil]

correct

[odd spruce]

Thank you so much for the response. This seems like an amazing community

[vagrant loom]

thx for your answer i will look into it

[final cove]

How do we feel about a unique item that removes ward decay (or gives X000% ward retention) but sets max HP to 1?

[kind spade]

hello all i am stuck in echo, third boss from lvl 58

my health is only 800 i guess im too weak? i am mage/sorcerer

[pastel pebble]

Be broken af

[pastel pebble]

Get some health for sjre

[knotty tinsel]

ward retention and decay are a delicate balance, a stat of that intensity would be worth too much

[final cove]

I guess the existence of gain XX ward per second opens the door to baseline infinite EHP with such item.

[covert idol]

hey, i think i should ask this via this channel but does anyone know how this game will perform on a 1650 super? i was hoping someone with similar specs could help me find out

i tried looking for benchmarks on yt but theres nothing

[native lichen]

can you get exalted items from the gambler?

[cinder fossil]

not the normal one

the soulfire bastion dungeon has a special gambler that can roll exalts/uniques

[native lichen]

thank you

[wide sentinel]

what the hecky is going on with LEtools?

math hard or its bugged

and its on every build

[kind spade]

guyz i dont get this

why i cannot progress in echo? i just killed the third boss

[icy drift]

What's the issue?

That you seem to be getting 20% max hp outta nowhere?

[wide sentinel]

20% of 4031 is 800+

not 712

[icy drift]

But it's making it into 4k

It's part of the 4k

No?

[wide sentinel]

im not sure what you are talking about

if i have 4k health then my end threshold should be 800+whatever i have on gear

[icy drift]

Ohhh thats what you're looking at I'm dumb

Mb

[wide sentinel]

i checked in game, at least there it works properly

would be a big bug

[icy drift]

What's level 1 base hp?

Like naked just started the game

[wide sentinel]

i think 100 something?

or 150

[icy drift]

Hmm nvm then

Yeah idk lol

Think Le tools is tripping

[wide sentinel]

yeee

[kind spade]

when i kill shade of orbyss my Echo map resets?

[pastel pebble]

Yes and it goes up some 'corruption' which raises damage, health, rarity and so on

[idle plover]

why am i unable to get more skill points after leveling up now

[faint cape]

Looks like you are just at like 99% xp. Your max skill level from xp is determined by character level, anyway.

[idle plover]

oh

[tranquil drift]

Is there a bug with the kindling blade node for enchant weapon? It's only automatically casting the skill sometimes

[faint cape]

Yeah, doesn't work currently - numlock trick to autocast works though and doesn't cost a spec point

[tranquil drift]

Okay thanks 🙂

[bronze ocean]

It's fixed now. Endurance threshold % bonus was applied before adding stat bonuses from core attributes.
P.S. I would appreciate if LE Tools issues/bugs were reported to me directly, either in my discord or you can just ping me here

[candid elm]

If you found a bug on the LE Tools site, you can report it on the website maker's, Dammit's, Discord channel. There's a bug report channel there https://discord.gg/PBhYdYz8, it's the #le-bug-reports one.

Oh nevermind, I should have scrolled down... Dammit already fixed it.

[wide sentinel]

sure!

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, can a summon Abomination consume another summon abomination?

I doubt it but I thought I'd check

[little veldt]

Is there a way to find out where this drops?

[buoyant sinew]

scroll down a bit 😄

which means "it can drop anywhere, but the stolen lance is the best place to farm it because of the unique sceptre rewards"

[little veldt]

Lol I’m dumb

Ty

[faint cape]

Yeah definitely, it just doesn't absorb its actual health like it does other minions

[buoyant roost]

Thanks 😄

That would be OP if it absorbed health 🙂

[faint cape]

It would be quite wild heh 😅

[regal narwhal]

Hey together 👋
fresh and newly joined here tonight and close before getting the game 🙂

Are there any tips you would give me? I have looked at the classes and I am mostly interested in all Mage classes ❤️
What I also know is that you can re-skill but not your Mastery if I have understood this one right at the watched TTV Stream.
Comparable Games played before this one: D3, D2R and a bit PoE

[surreal verge]

Correct,you can make any change except your mastery

Also “fuck around and find out”

[native sail]

Cook to your heart's content

[regal narwhal]

Oh, this would be the first game where nobody is telling me: "When you are at late/endgame, XYZ is the only build for you."
Sounds interesting but also a bit after "hard work" - I like it :3

[native sail]

If you aren't trying to push the infinite scaling endgame you can play pretty much anything that's cohesive.

[regal narwhal]

Must now only wait either until the end of this month or until XMas before purchasing it. Currently out of money :S

[regal narwhal]

What does this mean "infinite scaling endgame"?

[native sail]

The endgame has a thing called corruption. It increases the effect of modifiers on the area and increases monster damage and health exponentially, and there is no cap to it, it goes as high as you can possibly push it if you so choose to. Obviously that starts to cut out viable builds because of pure numbers.

[regal narwhal]

This could then mean, that I've to adjust my build when I can't keep up, right?

[native sail]

For pushing it's more than adjustment. There are tried and true things that can push it and things that can't.
The vast majority don't push because it's time consuming, unenjoyable, and not worth the effort.
So the community tends to stop themselves around a basically agreed upon range of corruption to be endgame.

[nimble cove]

I've assumed corruption level is a lot like mine depth for PoE. You can push further, but there's a cutoff point where it doesn't really provide any benefit going that deep

[native sail]

Yup. Exactly.

[regal narwhal]

Ah that way but what are you doing then when you've hit that corruption level 🤔 are you then "done" with that char 🤔

[native sail]

If you want to be. I just keep playing. Always more stuff to farm. Eventually new stuff to do and experiment with.

[regal narwhal]

Sure, at last there are enough classes out there with which I can play and have fun 😊

[odd bolt]

Community members, I was planning to open a twitter account exclusively for last epoch, what would you like the account to be about? announcements, patches, fixes etc...?

devs can answer too xd

[storm blaze]

I mean
the devs already have a twitter where they put out announcements and patches etc

[odd bolt]

thats why im asking if someone was thinking abouth other stuff

[icy drift]

Prob more like build showcases and stuff like that tbh

[dusky kite]

except that corruption still provides noticeable benefits up to like 2k+, while the developers consider 300 to be their target range for "endgame"

[dusky kite]

I don't think that there is enough content in LE to provide a steady news feed so far

[slim scarab]

but does the corruption that I acquire in a monolith (I haven't gotten there yet) automatically flow to all the remaining monoliths and dungeons? or do they have to be done for all monoliths?

[surreal verge]

It's a per monolith basis

[icy drift]

But there is a catch-up mechanic that lets you raise your lower corruption monoliths to your highest corruption mono's corruption at a way high pace

[royal flint]

Dumb question but do higher corruption monos hurt way more than lower corruption?
I mean is it essentially a survivability problem or DPS problem when pushing corruption? Do previously innocent attacks start to one shot or near one shot even with 75% resists

[kind spade]

yo guys where do i find shade of orbyss for the first time???

[storm blaze]

Just keep on going deeper towards edges of monolith

[kind spade]

and after i kill it the mono resets?

i killed the third boss

and it said lvl 68 upgrade

[storm blaze]

Yes it resets the web when you kill shade of orobyss
it's a special node

[surreal verge]

Yup

[dusky kite]

survivability nearly always, there are no real dps checks in this game

or almost no

[royal flint]

Could anyone take a look at my gear and see what I could work on next to push for T4 dungeons/ 300 corruption? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/9ozXVKPQ

Have 75% resists for most stuff (working on not overcapping it), hovering around 2k ward in a boss fight generally. Got nearly instant popped in T4 soulfire by one of those nerotic convenant wards though. Not sure if I was supposed to dodge those projectiles/ block with the immunity shield, or just work on my defenses more

[dusky kite]

2k active ward seems to be very low for runemaster, you need to respec a lot of your passive points into ward nodes and also abuse edict of the scion while you can cause frost claw keeps its aoe tag regardless of volley of glass. You also want to use the twisted heart with this build if you have enough leech to sustain its health cost

you also want to take the ward retention with a scepter node in runemaster and use a scepter, although you might want to get an lp frozen ire with minus spell cost first

[royal flint]

hmm maybe it's my playstyle + ward retention stat then

[royal flint]

yup i'm trying to for for a sceptter with t7 mana cost but i can't find any.... Been wanting to do T4 dungeons so they come by more often but no luck since i get popped

[dusky kite]

your spec on flame ward is also meh you should aim either for the mana shield + regen or armor nodes

you generally don't need two charges

and since frost orb isn't particularly necessary in your build as frost claw has decent clear as is, you can replace it for frost wall and abuse it while you still can cause it's likely getting a nerf in the next patch

I mean the flame ward node

you are also sitting at 30% crit avoidance which is a nonstarter, make sure you cap it as one of the first priorities

might want to swap the all res blessing to crit avoid

as too many of your resists are overcapped as is

[dusky kite]

btw keep it in mind that you can get a tier 1 ward on flame ward + extra charge of flame ward affix sealed on your chest easily, I mean, easily once you manage to loot it in the first place

as tier 1 affixes always seal

on exalted

[royal flint]

ohh cool cool

[dusky kite]

you can also drop a few random points in flame rush into more ward, you don't need the brand anyways as it's both unreliable against bosses and you don't spec the ward on hit against branded bosses anyways

[exotic idol]

anyone know how to make the text not look "Highlighted"? its triggering my ocd lol

[surreal verge]

Visual bug

Wait for a fix

[exotic idol]

alright, ty 🙂

[royal flint]

Thanks for the adjustments, I'll look into them! I just kinda copied perry's build but to be fari this is the starter build, he has a couple more advanced stuff especially when i swap to scepter

[lofty inlet]

hey, in practical sense, how effective '1 in 6 chance to take 15-25% less damage per active shadow'?

[sinful laurel]

For lack of a better, more full response. Entirely eh

[regal gale]

I have a question. Does the Rogue passive Lethal Cadence (every third attack deals more damage) work with DoT? I mean the next passive after it is bleed chance so I guess?

[desert tree]

If the passive does not specify Hit, it should

[old jolt]

Do i get more shards from a certain affix if i destroy an item with a bigger percentage of that affix?

[regal gale]

It does not say hit

[old jolt]

like, if i break and affix stones from one with 60% of some affix and i break from one with 10% do i get more stones from the 60% one?

[desert tree]

So bug aside it will work

[desert tree]

When you shatter an item, you get between 1 random shard and all the shards available, randomly

There is no way to influence the shattering AFAIK

[old jolt]

oh ok

[desert tree]

If there are some shards you really really want/need, you can always use rune of removal

This one give you all the shards from 1 random affix

[tame yacht]

Do you guys think an ryzen 3 3200g could run this game?

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, just a question. Does Sinnatria's dying breath spell curse flat damage apply to Bone Curse (which is technically Damage over Time)?

[crude jewel]

if i never use a melee atk or spell (besides summon companions/minons and their roar) the "chance to ON HIT" never triggers, right?

[surreal verge]

The on hit applies to any hits you do, yeah.

Minions can't trigger it

[crude jewel]

k, RIP item xD

[surreal verge]

Bone curse is a Spell and a Curse, yes.

[crude jewel]

rerolled T4 to T5 got one useless ^^

ty <3

[buoyant roost]

Thanks!

[faint cape]

And just to be clear, it is not DOT, technically or otherwise

it just doesn't trigger many on-hit effects

[pine trail]

Are LE severs having lag issues?

[buoyant roost]

Ah! You are correct! Good to know.

Last question... do any of you know how often Cursed Ground applies Bone Curse?

[faint cape]

I want to say that it only applies to enemies upon entering the area, but it has been a really long time so I might be misremembering 😅

[surreal verge]

on enter as far as I know

(Just take cursed limbs instead)

[buoyant roost]

Thanks!

[pine trail]

Does dread shade do something to golems? Seems like when I cast that skill my golenm either gets beat up or just disapears

[surreal verge]

Yes it's a minion

Default dread shade drains life on the target with a shade.

[pine trail]

Ohh didn't know that well hrmm!

Oh duh it says 3% of health lol

[surreal verge]

there's a node that turn the life drain into increased damage taken instead, doubles it duration but limits it to one.

[pine trail]

I just don't know what to put in slots now in my skill trees. I wanna do ice pet build, but I have all those nodes, as well as a lvl 50 slot, not sure what to put there

[scenic sparrow]

how long does Last epoch starts for you ??
i have really good PC but it always takes 1:51 ~~ 2 minutes before i can press the purple "Enter game" in Character selection
shouldnt be the loading be much faster ????

and i just deleted my 80 lvl character by mistake :D:D:D:
omg
@delicate dust i fucked up, can you please help me ? 😄
i was deleting offline characters, but my online character dissapeared aswell ( i guess i deleted him by mistake )

[delicate dust]

I wish I could, unfortunately we don't have a method to recover characters which were deleted.

[scenic sparrow]

aand i just reloged, and the character is back, there is something weird going on when deleting all offline characters probably, should i test more ?

[delicate dust]

It was likely a hiccup connecting to online servers not successfully retrieving character list - we're currently rolling out a hotfix.

[scenic sparrow]

cool , thank you, i love you ! 😄

anyway, my biggest concern right now is the extremely slow Start up of the game , should i look at forum or something ?

[icy drift]

For offline characters, you can most likely use steams cloud save backup system to get them back btw

It usually keeps a pretty big backlog of backups

If that ever is needed

[scenic sparrow]

i found this https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/really-slow-startup-and-loading/48669/5
but deleting the characters didnt help ( i didnt find the character saves)

i have SSD, lowering the settings to the lowest didnt help
And i have 16GB ram, with RTX 3060 12GB
so i am pretty sure my PC is not the problem

[pine trail]

Try another server maybe? Not sure. US central had lag earlier but is fine now. My setup is:

MSI Pulse GL66 Gaming Laptop: 15.6" 144Hz FHD 1080p display, Intel Core 11th gen I7-11800H 2.30GHZ, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 8GB, 16GB ddr4 (2x8gb), Windows 10 Pro, Logitech G502 lightspeed mouse, 2TB ssd M.2 2280 (2x1tb)

I had to lower my visuals to high instead of very high. The explosions with zombies were lagging me a bit. I'm good now though with 1 notch down

[scenic sparrow]

its not about logging into server, its about starting the game aswell

it takes 97ish seconds to go into " logging button" and another like 20-30seconds to "character selectrion"

its just way too long

[pine trail]

Yeah I was in chat a cuple days ago, and they said they normally log into EU servers but couldn't. They ogged into US central and everything was fine

[scenic sparrow]

i am not lagging, my game is running smoothly, the problem for me is the starting of the game
i deleted save files in appdata, turned off Steam cloud and now it took "only" like 1:20

[pine trail]

What server??\

[scenic sparrow]

Any server

[pine trail]

Even US central?

[scenic sparrow]

THE GAME HAS SLOW START UP

not the logging

the GAME takes forever to start

from pressing " play" on Steam
into "loggin" takes like 60-90seconds

[pine trail]

One person in the chat had a lower end cpu, but better video and ram, so his was the cpu as the bottleneck

[scenic sparrow]

I5-10400f 2,9GHz (12CPUs)
16GB ram, 12GB VRAM

[pine trail]

Had like a 2-3 yr older cpu, but a rtc 3070 with 16gb ram. From what I've been told this game is cpu intensive as apposed to graphics intensive

Seems like that'd work, I'm not sure

My i7 is like 1.5 yrs old, so hnestly not sure

Man I am squishy as hell, but boy can my minions cleana room out

lvl 59, just follow the pack, and I'm fine as long as I move around LOL

[scenic sparrow]

okay, so now i am reinstaling the game
removing the " Last epoch[internaltest]
and doing clean reinstall with no beta etc

[scenic sparrow]

i am extremely enjoying shadow daggers on Rogue from umbral blades
you put it on floor, run around and it keeps killing mobs/bosses etc
78lvl and i was killing 90level monoliths

[balmy current]

Yup, and it's been massively nerfed over the years.

Several times.

[pine trail]

Ha, sounds like rogue is a fun class.......just started so this is my first toon. Loving the necro, but overall having a blast with the game

[scenic sparrow]

yeah, my first class was hammerdin and it was Pain

but it looks like it was changed somehow ( it looks like that to me )
the hammers look different

[pine trail]

Only real thing now is just staying mobile, if I stop, I'm pretty much toast, so I weave in and out of the minions collecting gold and stuff as I go when I can, but I don't dare stop moving

[scenic sparrow]

oh, you could use the "ring of Anguish" or something like that... or was that the weaver armor ?? ("if you move, you take 20% less damage" )

aand i just reinstalled the game, and its 20seconds loading now 🙂

so yeah, i think my problem was : i was playtesting the "internal test" beta thingy

[pine trail]

Mine is I'm so squishy I almost get 1 shot at times, so if I move they tend to not hit me. Last time I died was becasue I was stationary so I was easy target. I have 979 health at lvl 59 hehe, but the minions pack a punch

[scenic sparrow]

do you have capped resistances ?

[pine trail]

No special gear yet either so once I get stuff that will ony help

[scenic sparrow]

if you do that, you should have no problem if you have 75% all ress

[pine trail]

Not yet, endo is 42%, 196

[scenic sparrow]

later in the game (as i am unlocking monoliths) i am finding out , that there are blessing that gives 25-40% one type of resistance, super helpfull

cap the resistances, and you wont be dying as much

[pine trail]

I'm still on the storyline so there will be time to get gear and affixes that'll help

[scenic sparrow]

then get some HP and you will have no problem

can you stream your minions ? 😄

i can show you my rog

[pine trail]

Yeah, I have my gear capped out on forge pretty much. But it's still early. I'm just now getting purple drops now and then

Im at 408 on minions

I'm in epoch 2 if you wanna look.....mic not working though

[kind spade]

omg finally

i think i found the reset of the echo

for the first time

[scenic sparrow]

the reset of the echoes/monoliths is always at 14+ distance

[last kettle]

I was fighting God Hunter Argentus and the guy disappeared mid-fight

[buoyant sinew]

that's normal as long as he comes back eventually

he goes into a long add phase at half health

[last kettle]

nah, never came back, never seen the adds 😄

[dense root]

you were doing too well

scared him off

[buoyant sinew]

o_O

[last kettle]

he got intimidated XD

got him to work this time, died togheter with the boss so I have stability reset and lost loot...

I hate this thing so much lol

good contender for worst game design of the year paired with stash in D4

[pine trail]

A totem with freeze rate mutilplier, does that also work with minions freeze?

[sinful laurel]

Totems are minions

[pine trail]

Wait, what??

How are they minions?

ohh wait I meant idols LOL sorry

HAHA sorry, my bad

[sinful laurel]

Stats don't work for minions unless it explicitly says minion

With a few niche exceptions

[pine trail]

Well dang!

So I'm at the point in the game where I'm doing these echo nodes I guess you call them, not really sure, but I'm curious what they do. I get they open more as I go, but aside from the rewards, does it affect anything else?

[buoyant sinew]

each one you complete gives you stability on the timeline, which unlocks the quest echoes culminating in a boss fight

[pine trail]

Ok, I was wondering about that bar at the top, nice nice

[buoyant sinew]

there are more mechanics around timelines and the echo web but I wouldn't stress about them for now, just focus on doing the boss of each timeline and moving onto the next one

eventually you'll unlock empowered timelines, that's when it's worth learning more about how they work

[pine trail]

wow, more stuff LOL, ok onward I go.......minions MOUNT UP!

So I have dread shade, but Im not sure I'm taking full advantage of it. I'm using it with my bone golem, but I don't think the golem has anything necrotic damage

[buoyant sinew]

most minions don't have inbuilt necrotic damage, but dread shade gives them a bunch of flat necrotic damage so that's ok

alongside a bunch of other benefits

[kind spade]

guys

i die super fast in Orobyss fight

what should i do

i play as sorcerer

my best was like 60% boss HP

[sinful laurel]

Don't get hit

Or kill him faster

Ideally both

[reef summit]

What is chance to drop ravenous void from gaspar 500 corruption+

[sinful laurel]

A myth 😉

Technically that boss has a small chance to drop the gloves past 500 corr

[reef summit]

i mean better corruption better chances i see people say like 1-2%

Is it true?

[faint cape]

It's true that the drop rate goes up with corruption, I have no idea the actual drop rate. It's very low like that though, yeah.

[reef summit]

% rarity = % drop inc

[sinful laurel]

Oh you mean the actual chance. No one knows for sure

Low

Very low

[reef summit]

You drop unique then it rolls what unique it is if more % rarity u got the more % chance to get more uncommon uniques

[faint cape]

Maybe, I don't know if it is confirmed to be directly proportional

[pine trail]

As I stroll along the rocky road with my minions, I get the odd feeling of singing the "my buddy and me" song 🙂

[faint cape]

No, this is not how it works.

[reef summit]

Is there any spreadsheat of gaspar drops to get me value of ravenous void?

[faint cape]

Rarity only increases the number of uniques that drop

[pastel pebble]

I got mine randomly in a very low c timeline

[sinful laurel]

Wdym value?

[pastel pebble]

Trade isn'f in yet so hard to gauge value beyond its meta use

[faint cape]

I think he means player data collection to try and experimentally determine the % drop rate, and the answer is no

[sinful laurel]

Oh yeah. Def not

[reef summit]

sad, i wonder how much it is to drop ones

i farm around 500 echoes few houndreds of gaspars and nothing

[sinful laurel]

It's one of the rarest items I nthe game. Bar none

You don't target farm it. You just get happy when it drops

[dense root]

to be clear 500 echoes would not be a few hundred gaspars so one of those numbers is wrong

but also the drop rate for ravy from gaspar caps at 4% and you reach that cap at a corruption so high no one has achieved it

like it just takes a while

[kind spade]

i got meteor build and i get killed super fast by Orobys

i think i need to work on my HP and resist

[faint cape]

You are probably right, resists 65%+, capped endurance or more ward, crit mitigation, and probably some other defensive layers

is the usual in addition to stacking health (very few builds don't stack health)

[acoustic thicket]

Watch his pattern, you can work your way around his attacks

[haughty compass]

is there no shard for armour + minus damage from crits?

[sinful laurel]

No. It's an experimental affix

If you do get shards from them it's a bug

[haughty compass]

oh

like even the mod on chests?

[sinful laurel]

Don't mind me sorry

That affix is not experimental

And yes there are shards for it

[faint cape]

Yeah, their localization is just buggy

So the name of it either doesn't show up or appears as the affix id, depending on which GUI you're in

[sinful laurel]

It's 415 iirc

Or 715

Something like that haha

[faint cape]

Yeah, something like that. It's the only one bugged in that way, so if you see numbers, it's that one lol

[haughty compass]

that worked actually thanks guys

[fringe oasis]

do you guys think this game is ready for release that is going to happen in 2 months from what I hear? Party play is terrible, buggy, monsters are T-posing etc.
I mean game itself is good, crafting is easy to understand but exciting, unique and set items work nice, but when new ppl see the release version being bugged and not fun to play in party they will probably leave. I know that it's good moment to because D4 is still bad but I am worried really

[native sail]

"D4 bad" 👉 🚪

[opal horizon]

what is legendary potential and weaver's will?

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items this for the first one

Weaver's Will is a selection of items that can roll the titular modifier of WW anywhere from 5 to 28 with higher amounts being rarer. Each point of WW is equal to one affix tier and as you kill things it will add affixes to the item. It is predisposed to upgrade an affix instead of add a new one.

[opal horizon]

i see it's like upgrade for legendary

[native sail]

Gotta be clear that while every non-WW unique can get legendary potential, not every item can get WW. There's only 9 total WW items, one relic for each class, a shield, gloves, boots, and a ring.

[finite pagoda]

How easy would you say is it to make a build from scratch that's able to do empowered Timelines with medium to high Corruption?
I'm new to this game and currently following a build guide for a really cool Lightning Mage build.
But I'm also thinking about brewing a Sentinel build with just loads and loads of Ignites stacked on everything via large numbers of summoned Weapons. 😄

[native sail]

What's your idea of medium to high corruption?

[fringe oasis]

Yeah I'm sorry, it's great game, its community loves it clearly, my bad

[native sail]

My point is nobody cares about how you feel about D4 and bringing it here does nothing good.

We have dealt with months on end of people barging in to whine about D4. This is Last Epoch's server, not Diablo.

[fringe oasis]

And my point is that 'strategically' speaking, releasing new game in genre while one of the biggest titles struggles is technically a good decision

[native sail]

EHG doesn't care

They release when ready and that's that

If they cared they wouldn't be looking to release by end of year since PoE has a league launch early December

[fringe oasis]

And my question was 'are they ready' because I don't think so and the only argument (imo) for releasing LE this year could be Diablo struggle

[native sail]

It isn't. The argument they have for releasing LE this year is that they want it out.

They've already oushed back 1.0 by TWO YEARS

[fringe oasis]

I hope they fix Bugs and upgrade multiplayer experience (and probably more things that I did not pay that much attention to) then because many players, myself included, can forgive major errors in beta but not in full release

[sterile widget]

Let us pray

🙏

Dear RNGesus
Please grant EHG the power to smite the bugs which plague their game, causing inconveniences to the player base.

Please give me all the best drops and grant Boru suspiciously min rolled items

Amen

[finite pagoda]

That's a great question. I have no idea. I thought there'd be some consensus about this in the community since i hear "High Corruption" a lot without specific numbers. 😄
My only Char at the moment is lvl 75 an going through regular timelines.

[humble steeple]

Hi, guys. I have a problem with the Lightless Arbor dungeon. When we move to the second level, we are always permanently dead. Three out of three cases. Is it a bug or we are doing something wrong?

[native sail]

The consensus of endgame is usually 300 corruption, but the idea of "high" varies heavily from person to person. To some high could be 500, to others it could be over 1000, to even fewer it could be past 2000, so it's hard to get an idea of it since it's arbitrary.

[native sail]

It's buggy, unfortunately. Happens more often in parties to my knowledge.

[finite pagoda]

Alright. sounds good. I'll get to 300 Corruption on my current Char then first to get an idea what that's like and then get back to my idea of Ignite Summoned Weapons. 😄

[safe harness]

Did you say forge guard ?

Did they release that class?

[native sail]

FG will get revamped in 1.0

[safe harness]

(Forge guard is known for being underpowered except for one build)

[humble steeple]

So...just keep trying?

[finite pagoda]

Was just about to ask about that. 😄

[safe harness]

You could try doing it alone.

[native sail]

^ that or keep trying and pray it succeeds

[safe harness]

It seems likely the bug has something to do with being in a party

[humble steeple]

Alone, same result (

[safe harness]

Well it’s a bug and I don’t think anyone knows what makes it happen 🤷

[humble steeple]

I don't want to play without my sweet bun ☺️
But thx for your help, guys

[finite pagoda]

What do i do with gold?
I can buy Stashtabs, which is really nice and I can use a bunch at the end of the Lightless Arbor. Anything else? 🙂

[surreal verge]

That's it.

[native sail]

That's it for now. 1.0 will bring the trade system though which functions only via gold

[finite pagoda]

Uh neat. Curious how that'll look and feel. 🙂

[humble steeple]

Oh. And one more thing. Do other dungeons have the same bug?

[sterile widget]

Pretty sure there are at least 3 or 4.

300% improved!

[native sail]

I have only heard it happening with Arbor

[humble steeple]

Thx, so we'll try another )

[native sail]

I wish you luck

[opal horizon]

lol

so what you do if you can't pick up item

[native sail]

Hit Alt+Z and hope that's the problem

[opal horizon]

nope

fun time

[native sail]

Try just Z?

[opal horizon]

alt z helped

but i just skipped that item

[native sail]

[vestal stone]

Hey guys do active modifiers such as "enemies drop more glyph" affect the chest rewards in lightless arbor?

[sterile widget]

Enemies, not chest 🙂

[vestal stone]

Ok thanks just wanted to clarify before I spend gold 🙂

[quartz jackal]

should i play last epoch again? last time i played was last year

[native sail]

Do you want to? Yes? Then sure. No? Then don't.

[south musk]

bruh

[waxen phoenix]

Hey I'm struggling to sign up on the forum. It says steam account is needed so I link my steam account with the provided link then it just takes me straight back to the you need a steam account page

Anyone know how to help

[cedar locust]

You can try verifying your steam files just in case, thoough this is a known bug. You should make sure anyone in the Party reports when this happens via the In Game Bug Reporting Tool too!

[cedar locust]

Oh, are you using Chrome?

[waxen phoenix]

YES i AM

sorry

didn't mean caps

[cedar locust]

Okie dokes, try using another browser or using a guest account to do this!

[waxen phoenix]

I will try

[cedar locust]

You can also try copy/pasting the link instead of clicking on it - for some reason this works too

[waxen phoenix]

Which link must I copy and paste?

[cedar locust]

Let me grab it for you!

https://migration.lastepoch.com/

[waxen phoenix]

Thank you that worked

[cedar locust]

Awesome! Welcome (back)!

[kind spade]

aghhh i simply cannot kill Orobys

i even used lvl 60+ gear

i spam meteors and nothing

hardly get him to 75%

[dense root]

killing shade is more about learning how to dodge the telegraphed attacks than it is about the level of your gear

[kind spade]

well mostly i died from the center mob

the blood thing

[native sail]

Oh yeah, that one is annoying, gotta get rid of it as soon as you can

[dense root]

it dies to like one hit yeah

just have to kill it asap

[kind spade]

i need to work on damage

[wicked plover]

would you say generally its possible to make a build work without any major gameplay changing uniques

[native sail]

Sure, why not.

I'd say that "majot gameplay changing" uniques are kinda in the minority anyway. A lot are just really nice stats in places we don't normally get them.

[pastel pebble]

My build doesn't need uniques

It just helps here and there

[dense root]

depends on the build but yes for many of them

[kind spade]

guys mage build is fire for damage rite?

[native sail]

Mage can easily be fire, cold, or lightning.

[dense root]

poison mage imo

[kind spade]

i know but i think fire does best damage rite

[native sail]

Nope

Fire is honestly the worst of the three

[dense root]

hm what’s the highest damage mage build (that doesn’t suck)

like hydra is somewhere up there and is fire

idk if it’s number one though

it might just be ladle glacier?

[native sail]

If memory serves Hydra is also not uh... working quite right

[dense root]

hydra works fine

like every other ri build it suffers from some ri nodes not doing anything and benefits from the ri penetration being like 6x the listed value

but it doesn’t have any major bugs as far as i know

[native sail]

Sure but Hydra is the only invocation that's actually doing much damage, the others are all kinda eh or using RI to just get 30% DR.

I'd wager the current best is somewhere with Ladle Glacier or Lightning Blast up to its usual effective over 40x damage multiplier

[kind spade]

omg and how do i get x40 damage???

stack item suffix?

[native sail]

It's the total effective multiplier the skill gets when set up properly. And... no? Suffixes aren't even offensive, prefixes are.

[dense root]

ailment builds are worthless to you huh?

[carmine coyote]

Crit all the way up

[native sail]

In a question of what's currently best, yeah kinda. I love ailments but most are.... underperforming

[pastel pebble]

Crit is like stocks

They always go up

[native sail]

The fact that the most successful ailment builds are just consuming ailments says a lot

[pastel pebble]

Rive Bleed is doable

[dense root]

wow some stocks go down

[pastel pebble]

IDK about others

[dense root]

stocks only go up if the vibes are good

[pastel pebble]

What? No?

[dense root]

if the vibes are bad they go down

[pastel pebble]

Id they go down then that's not up

Stocks go up!

[carmine coyote]

Crit does not go down, it only goes up

[dense root]

tell that to the ten people a week who come here asking why they never crit

(they have singularity equipped)

[native sail]

[carmine coyote]

Bold of you to assume people do read item descriptions

[kind spade]

dammn i need to rebuild my mage

meteor is too weak

[carmine coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/umm-confused-blinking-okay-white-guy-blinking-gif-7513882

[native sail]

Meteor

[inland jetty]

do different pools from multiple acid flasks stack their poisons over time indepentently?

like 5 pools = 5stacks a second with 100% poison chance

[faint cape]

Yes, they should. The cooldown it adds makes it tough to have many pools up.

[inland jetty]

;o i see seing if can make rogue acid flask spammers lol

skele rogues

[dense root]

acid flask i notorious for being one of the weakest skills in the game

just as a warning

[finite pagoda]

If I wanted a whole lot of Minions would I be better off using Necromancer or Beastmaster or something else entirely?
Also if I wanted those minions to apply an infinitely stackable DoT like Ignite how would I go about that? Is that possible or not?

[pale timber]

How will scales of eterra work if the spell triggering is both elements, will the simultaneously clear each overload?

[native sail]

Basically it would do nothing, really.

You'd start both of them at once meaning the buffs would just... not give you damage

Oh sorry, you'd get a max of like 40% more for one second by the end. At best.

[crude delta]

Soo... Attunement.
Does it do something for me when I'm an acolyte? I largely use death seal, bone curse and soul feast for damage.
From what I can gather it works for things that come from within, so I'd assume no to bone curse and soul feast, but yes for death seal. But not a fan of guessing on these things.
Also if it does something, what does it do? Improve scaling? Just add additional scaling? add mana cost reduction/regen?

[kind spade]

woaaah

shock mage is waaay better

also i found a 5 potion belt

finally

and a lvl 66 staff

[dense root]

if you hover over the attributes in your character sheet it tells you what they do innately

attunement is 2 mana per point

[native sail]

As far as I know only Primalist and Sentinel have skills that scale from attunement

[dense root]

aside from that it doesn't do anything if you don't have gear/a passive/a skill that specifically calls out attunement scaling

[crude delta]

So a bit of mana, but how do i figure out what magic is affected and what is not?

[dense root]

that part is just flavor

[crude delta]

Oh

So it'll come in with a tag similar to how necrotic/physical damage is there

[dense root]

yeah

[crude delta]

Thanks, that makes sense. 🙂

[reef summit]

what are strongest builds currently

[near path]

Almost all dots in the game are infinitely stackable. The best bet for what you're looking for is Bleed Squirrels Beastmaster, but that requires a very rare unique, Herald of the Scurry. Outside of that there are Bleed Wolves and Bleed Bear builds for BM. Necro minions are afaik mostly hit based but idk much about the class

[finite pagoda]

Yeah I've seen the creation of that item. Zizaran is the reason I got here in the first place.
Alright maybe I'll find that thing at some point. And then it's Squirrely Ahoi! 😄

[dense root]

low life bladedancer, ladle glacier, hydrahedron, i think probably low life werebear

broadly speaking the answer is to be druid, bladedancer, or runemaster though

[faint cape]

Also depends on your definition of "strongest", necro has some things up there as well

all masteries are viable anyway, so imo just pick the most fun

[dense root]

eh necro is fine but like it can't do the same content as the other things i listed

[dusky kite]

both have options with multiple minions, although the other beastmaster subtheme of one big minion is rather less represented on aco

you kinda have the abomination but it's gimmicky

[stuck edge]

Does Mad Alchemist Ladle drop only on 200+ corrupt?

[dense root]

no

[dusky kite]

no I'm pretty sure it can drop in campaign

[dense root]

the only drops gated behind corruption are orobyss drops i'm pretty sure

[dusky kite]

btw what is the ladle glacier build even, haven't seen that so far

[faint cape]

This is right, ladle is gated to anywhere level 17+ that can spawn rune prisons

[finite pagoda]

Alright. I'll look into it. Thanks. 🙂

[faint cape]

Its main thing is that it only drops from the exiled mage from rune prisons

[stuck edge]

So unlucky me I guess, spent 4 days + to get that one. Meantime I managed to get rest of mandatory uniques for my build lol, thanks

[dense root]

it's just ladle + mourningfrost

but using glacier for damage

since glacier is spammable and has a lot of more multipliers

[stuck edge]

So using Rune of Ascendance or farming "wand rewards" monos is pointless?

[native sail]

Correct.

[faint cape]

For that ladle, correct

[stuck edge]

ouch

That hurt my soul, thanks guys

[dusky kite]

I'm not seeing that yet, I'll look it up I guess

[faint cape]

All that matters is most rune prisons per hour - spawn rate of them does scale with corruption, and doing in empowered gives you the best chance for LP on it

[dense root]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/bBGy113A

[dusky kite]

Yeah got the idea now, I'm only missing literally everything it uses

pepega

[dense root]

there is a slightly more budget planner somewhere but i think some of the stuff you can't get away from

like you can use a 0lp twisted heart and just have lower damage but you can't just not have the unique effect

same with ladle you don't need 3lp bis affixes but you do need the unique

[dusky kite]

I'm not even sure if I have a 0 lp ring

and I'm very sure that I don't even have a 1 lp boot

[dense root]

you could use 2 opal rings instead

[dusky kite]

although I do have an unused 3 lp ladle I think

[dense root]

red ring is good for defensive reasons but it's not like something you absolutely need

[dusky kite]

Kinda but you know eventually the loss of stats starts to add up

[dense root]

sure that's true

[humble steeple]

Guys, does this work for my fire mages? Or only for me?

[pale timber]

That seems okay as long as they cancel out 4-40% more over 10 sec is p good as long as the drawback is gone -- the base unique is rly good, cast spd, int, ele res, spell crit

[faint cape]

No, minions only get minion stats

[native sail]

I mean. No, that's quite bad. That's barely equal to one node in a lot of skills.

[pale timber]

i got w LP tho

[native sail]

Great. Play around the cycling to make it worthwhile.

[pale timber]

like what other catalyst is good - other than enigma obviously for spark charges, since i am not that

[dense root]

are you a crit build or a dot build?

[native sail]

If you aren't planning to actually use the unique effect then you're straight up better using a good rare/exalted cata

[dusky kite]

scales are pretty damn terrible and if there is a viable build that uses them, nobody had found it yet

but it wouldn't be worth the hassle anyways

[steel merlin]

slander

[native sail]

Scales are good but they're exceptionally clunky.

To the point where optimizing it is too much of a hassle to actually use them

[pale timber]

Why though? if it has 1 LP and you get your choice of affix, then u can ignore the play around because they cancel out, if im understanding ccorrectly, get free int, cast speed, flat crit, ele res, and 1 good LP mod ---

if you initiated it with a dual element skill

[dense root]

it's not free

[native sail]

You can get all of those things without using that item

[dense root]

the cost s that you're not using a different item

[steel merlin]

just a good exalted catalyst shoudl be better than scales

[native sail]

^

[pale timber]

The cost is tier 5 of 1 other good mod?

[dense root]

like everything you described i can get on a normal crystal skull way more easily and possibly at higher values

[native sail]

Oh definitely higher value

Ele res is also worthless tbh

Like, that is THE easiest thing to cap in the game

[dense root]

well the cast speed goes up to 20%

which is moderately high

(for reference t5 on catalysts caps at 18% and t6 starts at 21%)

so like a perfectly rolled scales could theoretically be better than a 5/5/5/5 crystal skull

[pale timber]

Okay you're getting, 8 int, 20 cast speed (POTENTIALLY)

[dense root]

but will be worse than a 6/5/5/5 crystal skull

[native sail]

Look I made a better item

[pale timber]

that isnt remotely better
