[dusky cosmos]

but the question is, can I play for example all of the monos at the same time

[safe harness]

once empowered is unlocked, you can choose empowered or non-empowered

[near path]

excuse me? since when can chaos crafting raise a t5/6 higher?

[safe harness]

each monolith is separate

[crystal hare]

when you want to imprint an exalted t6/t7 item on an unique, do both items have to be the same class? for instance an axe? or does the exalt have to be just melee?

[safe harness]

axe to axe, yes

[near path]

axe to axe, sword to sword etc

[crystal hare]

i see thanx

[near path]

within item class, implicit types don't matter

[faint cape]

Yeah, you can swap between them whenever. The text is bugged, but the icons are correct

So that one in the pic can generate those two echo reward types shown (ring and amulet)

[dusky cosmos]

Okay, I reported it. It is just me ?

[fickle mantle]

uhhh

i just noticed this

[candid elm]

The fuzzy text? Known bug. Hopefully fixed in the next major update

[fickle mantle]

hopefully weird text is just weird text

and doesn't actually screw with my bleed chance

[royal hinge]

Say you pick the lich mastery. There are already so many different and fun ways to build it and play, that just respeccing your passives and skills will take a decent chunk of time on its own. Trying to rebuild an entire class from the ground up with passives, skills, items, idols, blessings, etc. Is a huge task. You're better off having two different alts, and being able to share you're stash is going to make the leveling process so much easier easier blasting through the campaign. You will also be getting a whole new experience using items/uniques that are useless for that classes end game build, but between levels X - Y, it's extremely rewarding.

On top of that, say you want to go back to Lich after switching to Warlock, now you have to level up every skill again from 10 back to 20, and you can't even farm the same content to do so because of the power gap you just gimped yourself with.

Tldr: you're going to waste more time switching around repeating weaker content than just putting 3-6 hours into a new alt and picking a different mastery when you pass that point. And you can always go back to your other alt when you feel like it, completely ready to continue where you left off at.

[royal hinge]

I've had a T5 become a T6 while crafting a different affix.

Critical success

[near path]

that is absolutely a bug

you cannot exalt normal mods

exalts are drop only

[royal hinge]

It was an experimental affix that did it

[fickle mantle]

there's a reason why it even says "Drop only" that is an absolute bug.

oh

Experimental Affix.. I think that IS possible for that.

[royal hinge]

I'm a bit more iffy on whether I saw a T6 turn into a T7 with a critical

[near path]

it should not be possible

would have to confirm with devs though for experimental affixes

logically it would be inconsistent to upgrade them to t6/7 when all other affixes are restricted to t5

[scarlet trout]

do you guys know of any site where I can check expected changes for 1.0?

[lofty topaz]

wheres the ezra's ledger quest

[royal hinge]

Was definitely an experimental affix that did it. But I don't see a problem with critical successes raising a T5 or T6 another level if the item was exalted to begin with. That would be pretty sweet even at a 0.5% chance.

[near path]

it is inconsistent with all other t6/7 affixes being drop only

[near path]

it's a bug #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[nocturne sigil]

Hi, please help me what does this mean ?

[dense root]

the way the game determines the odds of an item having 0,1,2,3, or 4 lp is using a formula

64 is the value used for one of the variables in that formula for this unique item

[tender marsh]

will all progress be reset for 1.0?
i forgot

[dense root]

higher numbers make lp less likely

yes and no

there isn't a wipe but there will be a new season with existing characters moved to the equivalent of poe standard league

[nocturne sigil]

But Whats the effective level ?

[dense root]

it's just a name for it

don't put too much worth on what the variable is called

it was intended as a purely internal number and is only known because of data mining

so they didn't necessarily put as much thought into it as they to things that are intentionally player facing

all you need to know is higher number = less likely to have lp, and less likely to have multiple lp when it has lp

[nocturne sigil]

Want to Kill myself

Was searching all Day long

Like do i have to have à lv 64 character

64 zone or something

[dense root]

no

[nocturne sigil]

Just à random code name

Ty anyway :))

To be clear, thats means every time this unique drop from anywhere it has the same chance to have lp ?

Whatever zone level etc

[buoyant sinew]

currently yes. in 1.0 corruption in endgame areas will increase LP chances

[nocturne sigil]

Okay, thanks you guys

[sage iris]

what does "direct" in relation to casting something mean?

I figured it meant that it wasn't by using another skill that then proc'd it, but it seems like that isn't the case?

[desert tree]

That what it should be

Maybe there is an unintended interaction

[sage iris]

cause i use flame rush to proc invocation , and that consumes the frostwall buff (aspirant)

Which says that it applied to direct invocations. So either im understanding it wrong or theres a bug

[tropic dirge]

Is there anything we should do to prep for release? I haven't played in many, many months, so I don't know if there is any account based setups or anything else that can rollover into 1.0. Or will starting a Warlock in 1.0 just be its own thing?

[buoyant sinew]

if you want to play in the new cycle that starts on launch then there is nothing

if you want to play in legacy, you could technically level an unspecialised acolyte to 100 now and make it into a warlock on release

[acoustic thicket]

Anyone on steamdeck know how to view linked items in chat? Hovering doesn’t seem to do anything for me…

[desert tree]

Maybe @pastel pebble

[pastel pebble]

Oh I don't lol

Never tried

I only read chat for the fights

[royal hinge]

Could you copy the tool tips for those to see the wording? Because direct should only work when you press the actual skill button.

[sage iris]

Does “you cast” mean something specific maybe?

[broken cobalt]

Play the game now or wait until release?

[minor vigil]

do you want to play in the temporary cycle (season/league)?

[candid elm]

You can play now if you want to. The characters you make now will not be deleted. They'll just be part of the standard/ legacy League when the cycle with 1.0 starts. If you decide to make any characters in the cycle, those characters will have a separate stash

[knotty tinsel]

more game = more good. ooga booga

[kindred wagon]

Should I complete arenas lvl 1-4 or I can join Endless Arena from the start?

[broken cobalt]

Okay then is the question do i even want that and why? im a lonely sad person that has miss some importent stuff for multiplayer, it was more a questen if i hit dev end walls or if its on the second start just so boring, so that i get irritated and angry later, like in so many other early acces games or is here not really the danger

[pastel pebble]

Can you repeat the question?

I only really understood that you are a sad and lonely person

[hearty frigate]

I had a stroke

anyways, I have a problem where one of the echo quests gets stuck on loading screen for me. I tried verifying files and whatnot but no luck. Anyone got any tips for that?

I also updated my drivers already and so on

[broken cobalt]

I have no friend and so fuck multiplayer so do i hit dev end walls or if its on the second start just so boring, so that i get irritated and angry later, like in so many other early acces games or is here not really the danger

[pastel pebble]

What are you on about?

Dev end wall?

This game can be done solo

You can complete all content solo

[hearty frigate]

it's an ARPG campaign, its not random, its not that engaging

so the second time around yeah, same thing

[pastel pebble]

All I'm really getting is you are sad and lonely and angry at some games?

[broken cobalt]

its more about early acces status and that it is released in 1 month then about multiplayer

[candid elm]

Multiplayer is out now. There's currently zero multiplayer only content. You can do everything by yourself.

[hearty frigate]

dev end walls = dead ends? Even like that it doesn't make much sense. It's a complete game with endgame in it

[median siren]

how much changed in the last few months leading to the 1.0 release. been about 4 months since i played?

[pastel pebble]

Very little

[broken cobalt]

never played a early acces game and meet a quest or something and you cant continue because its still in development? = dev end wall

[pastel pebble]

Oh, yeah. Main story isn't done

[steel merlin]

two newbies with short name starting with t and ending with i is too confusing

[pastel pebble]

You can still do plenty of end game grinding

[median siren]

main story isnt done in a 1.0 release?

[candid elm]

There's 9 of the 12 acts released so far

[pastel pebble]

They pushed it back to ensure quality

They didn't want a half assed plot

[median siren]

thats completely fair. the game felt super good when i last played. but im also a controller player and was hoping a few kinks got sorted in there for 1.0

the story is super good so im fine waiting!

[candid elm]

But hell, I skip as much campaign as possible and go into the end game

[steel merlin]

controller support coming for 1.0 no?

[pastel pebble]

I heard there's more but don't quote me

[median siren]

the controller play was already decent. just had kinks

[candid elm]

There's controller support now. It works more or less ok

[median siren]

some of the aiming was off and a few skills didnt behave right

[native sail]

Mike has said they have controller updates. What are they? We dunno

[median siren]

lol ill recognize any updates as soon as i fire up

i was thinking of starting a fresh toon for the 1.0

[broken cobalt]

toxic but thank you all

[pastel pebble]

You are welcome

[steel merlin]

but thats what you said

[median siren]

i was rolling the dice between grim dawn and last epoch

[steel merlin]

im confused

[pastel pebble]

If its anything I like LE more

Lots of QoL and controller support here is comfier

[median siren]

Ive got like 500 hours on grim dawn and it just got a FULL overhaul into 1.2 which i havent been through yet, just before LE hit 1.0

they are both excellent games but vastly different

[sage iris]

Have they improved the gearing?

[median siren]

@sage iris in GD?

[sage iris]

Ya

Like i like going through the campaign and its combat but i found the gearing very meh

[dusky cosmos]

does javelin's smite get all the points I spend in the smite skill tree?

[native sail]

Yup

[median siren]

they eleminated drop clutter by like 70%, tons and tons of new sets. rebalancing of a ton of skills. Added alot of endgame stuff. added a dodge mechanic and all bosses have new power moves that will wreck you if you dont dodge correctly @sage iris

the update list is like a mile and a half long

[steel merlin]

when was the expansion?

[native sail]

Generally speaking triggered skills use their skill tree unless stated otherwise

[median siren]

build variety is absolutely bonkers from a gear aspect now

[dusky cosmos]

thanks

[desert tree]

When a skill or an item procc another skill, it's always the specialized version (if there is one)

Too slow 😩

[dusky cosmos]

pathetic 😛

[desert tree]

It means it's time to go to bed
Cya

[dusky cosmos]

Thats a cool mech ngl, thanks for the answers

[median siren]

@sage iris i dont play in the end game much so im not sure where the meta is at but i know there are 1000s of viable gearing setups amongst all the classes and a new expansion coming with a custom potion mechanic.

anyways. so not much has changed in the last few months but there are some controller updates is what im gathering. more end game stuff but the story is still 75% done

[sage iris]

Hm ok

I guess im just biased in that i cannot stand set items and want it gone from every arpg

[median siren]

has there been more class and skill rebalancing? i cant remember what class i was playing last time i game hop too much lol

@sage iris sets are absolutely not required to build meta anymore

i am sure of that. i do talk in the build community alot

[sage iris]

Ooooh

That might make me play the game again

[native sail]

None til 1.0, but there should be a good shakeup then.

[median siren]

just go ask around in their build thread. i dont want to hijack the subject in here too much.

[sage iris]

I just hate the whole “you dont have a build until you get your set, then after you get your set you dont have anything to farm” thing common to this genre

[median siren]

@native sail 1.0 is officially launched though right?

[sage iris]

Will do, thanks

[native sail]

No

1.0 is Feb 21st

[median siren]

@sage iris definitely not!!!! Your build will constantly adapt on the fly now. the loot overhaul system was designed to make sure good gear is always dropping and you will constantly be overhauling your build on the fly till you hit endgame

@native sail awwww man! Right before FF7 rebirth steals my soul

[near path]

"common to this genre" it's literally D3 and nothing else

actual ARPGs stopped doing that shit

[sage iris]

Gd was like that when i was playing from what i remember and the division if you count that (sort of?)

[median siren]

that was forever ago it was like that

[sage iris]

Oh yeah, many years ago

[median siren]

after forgotten gods dropped it got a solid endgame

[native sail]

Division is not an ARPG but sure?

[near path]

this is the first time I am hearing ARPG and Division in the same sentence

[median siren]

^ same here

[sage iris]

True, mb

But i have such a strong distaste for d3 that i have to seethe about it every year

[median siren]

i think most people feel that way lol

between TQ, LE, GD, and D2R i keep my ARPG addiction satiated though

every now and again i go play baldurs gate dark alliance 2 again

[median siren]

🤣

[desert tree]

Dark alliance

One of my favourite childhood "franchise"

[median siren]

its impossible to hate on. it may not have variety but its short, sweet, and very satisfying

another ARPG and i use ARPG lightly here that i go back to is dark cloud

[desert tree]

Oh boy did I kill some rat and splash in the fountain for hours

Just to trigger my best friend

[median siren]

i think the local coop made that game so nostalgic all on its own

the fact traps were unreasonably deadly and the satisfaction of even the smallest upgrades

[static root]

Spell crit multi and crit multi count as different "more" multiplier or same?

[steel merlin]

same

[static root]

Thanks

[light pilot]

is there a way to check what affixes can roll on certain armour slots?

or is there no restriction

i.e. can i only get warpath level on chests?

[steel merlin]

in 1.0 it will ingame in filter, for now last epoch palnner

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

as a general rule, +1 to a specific skill only rolls in one specific slot, and only either on helmet, body armor or relic

[light pilot]

sweet ty

[urban fog]

been seeing that some text has some weird display bug and its been reported and been around for 5 months+ or so, why no fix yet (:<

[desert tree]

Because they are holding off any non urgent patch to be able to focus on 1.0

[native sail]

^

It's fixed for 1.0 last I heard

[urban fog]

its not game breaking but since ive noticed it more, is super annoying x)

im not up to date like at all, does 1.0 have an estimated date? (i didnt even know 1.0 was on the way currently or whatever)

[native sail]

Feb 21st

Not estimated, that's just the date

[urban fog]

oh right, a lot closer than i was expecting, idk anything else thats coming, havent played in a while. all i know is warlock probably?

[native sail]

Factions, Warlock, Falconer

[deep ravine]

hi guys! whats class/mastery thats easiest and smoothest to level up fast with? i wanted to do a quick playthrough before game launches :3

[urban fog]

was this the game i recall some druid wearbear broken thing?

[native sail]

Mage and Rogue are stupid easy rn.

[urban fog]

im trying out first time necro/lich, seems decent so far

[deep ravine]

ty ty

[native sail]

Lich tends to fall off later in endgame. Necro is fine but a little item reliant on most builds.

[royal hinge]

I've got an idea for lich that will use Ghost Flame in 1.0. Hoping it's going to be viable for empowered Monos, but it looks good on paper right now.

[native sail]

I wish you luck. Hopefully Lich gets some touchups.

[urban fog]

always lovely to hear my class may be bad xD, in fairness, it was one of the few classes i hadnt made and didnt fancy druid. Not sure how end game i got but generally my chars around around L70-80

[royal hinge]

General rule of thumb, the real end game begins at 200 corruption in empowered Monos.

[urban fog]

i didnt do that too much and arent too stressed about it, i tend to stop playing when i get to a certain point so we'll see. just had an ARPG itch and i like the QoL of LE

[late mountain]

Is gold account wide or per char

[desert tree]

Account wide

Unless you are ssf

[stuck bluff]

guys what beastmaster build should I play until I can find squirrel helmet

[royal hinge]

Lightning Werebear or Thorn Totem

[late mountain]

Ssf?

[stuck bluff]

these are druid and shaman tho

[near path]

You can go normal phys wolves later into Lightning Wolves with their helm

you can also go Bleed Bear

[royal hinge]

Ahh, right. Sorry!

[near path]

which requires no uniques

[stuck bluff]

ok sweet

tyvm

[near path]

lightning wolves is extremely good while not being busted OP like squirrels. Before that, Bleed Bear is fine

[stuck bluff]

awesome gonna do it

[deep ravine]

are there any lvling loot filters for rogue u guys reccommend ??

[late mountain]

Is ssf equivilent to character found in this game?

[stuck bluff]

im new but SSF normally means "solo self found"

[late mountain]

Ill just check when I get home

[hidden stirrup]

Guys, is it worth to try using rune of ascendance to get Hand of Judgement glove? And do i need to use it on a specific base item, or any gloves will do?

[native sail]

Any gloves. It's relatively common so shouldn't be too hard. They're really good.

[hidden stirrup]

Ty!

[lofty topaz]

how do i get avarice at level 6

or in general

[native sail]

Avarice is an early quest reward for a side quest. Something about a ledger, I don't remember the exact name.

There is an upgraded version called Burning Avarice from the Soulfire Bastion dungeon

[west gyro]

If I'm at the max online character limit right now, am I going to have to delete some characters to make room for new cycle ones when 1.0 hits?

[lofty topaz]

do u know where the quest is located by chance?

[native sail]

First town you get to immediately after the first time travel point. Uh... I'd have to open the game for the name. I'm really bad with the early area names.

[native sail]

Good question. It's possible. I think they said they'd increase the cap but I'm unsure, you should probably go ask Mike in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[late mountain]

As im new to the game, and arpgs in general. What does cycle mean?

[lofty topaz]

im not seeing it

[native sail]

ARPGs generally have a seasonal format of about 3-4 months long where each season introduces something new and the players start fresh in a new server/environment to experience it.

[native sail]

You may have already done the quest and gotten the other reward, it has two different ones depending on who you complete it with.

[late mountain]

So new cycle generally means its more worth to make a new character? Or are you forced to make a new character. Say can I still play my beta character when 1.0 releases?

[native sail]

You're not forced to play a new one no. It is optional, you just won't be able to party/interact with people in the cycle

[toxic echo]

council chambers. either you turn it into erza for avarice or artem for gamblers falacy

[native sail]

In most other ARPGs new mechanics are only for people in the season, LE is going to try not to do that at least for a little while

[urban fog]

I'm going to assume this isnt expected from my basic loot filter lol?

[native sail]

Krangled bug

[urban fog]

is that an actual thing or are you just saying words lol

[rough reef]

Anyone farming empowered Monoliths wanna let me tag along by chance? ❤️

[native sail]

Well. It's a bugged label, obviously, but krangled is just a community term coined from (afaik) PoE for something being made unrecognizable/illegible. I think it also got used for corrupted stuff for a bit.

[urban fog]

for reference, it was fine if i dropped the item again

[native sail]

Yeah, don't fret about it, it's just a funny text error

[urban fog]

almost looked like a spam discord nickname, the people using those giant characters or w/e

[lethal mural]

after abomination death which timeline i should choose ?

[tardy thistle]

Anyone know if our Display names in Beta will persist on the official release?

[native sail]

The higher level

[native sail]

They should since your characters and account are staying still

[kindred wagon]

When do modifiers on Dungeons reset?
Also, does tier of Julra's dungeon affect on result of crafting legendary item?

[faint cape]

They change daily (see https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons). Tier only affects max level of unique that you can use for the legendary craft.

[dusky cosmos]

What is a good movement spell for paladin?

[faint cape]

Void cleave is the best if you can use it. Overall, it just depends on which fits in your build best.

Technically speaking of course, their only movement "spell" is smite

[dusky cosmos]

I want to play a javelin smite build

[faint cape]

Lunge or smite is likely to fit your build best

[dusky cosmos]

So its gonna be a reading session I guess

[lethal mural]

to farm a monolith boss you have to farm back the stability each kill or theres a better way ?

[faint cape]

Yes, and in empowered you can directly run the boss without doing the two leadup quest echoes

[quaint tiger]

Does health on kill heal me when a minion of mine kills?

[lethal mural]

@faint cape ok so no need to farm now ty

[faint cape]

If the stat says you gain health when your minion kills, yes. Just health on kill, no that's for your kills only.

[quaint tiger]

cool thanks 🙂

[dusky cosmos]

Are you guys have the same feeling that you drop alot of minion-supportive items?

it feels like 80% of my unique items reads like " minions are overpowered now, stop playing something else"

[faint cape]

There are many low level minion or hybrid-minion uniques, it's a psychological thing

[buoyant sinew]

I definitely remember feeling that on my very first playthrough, just because so many of the low level uniques are minion-y

it evens out pretty quickly

[dusky cosmos]

so some uniques can only drop in the endgame?

[buoyant sinew]

uniques have a minimum area level they can drop in

many of them can only drop in endgame areas

plus there are quite a few that are exclusive drops from endgame bosses

if you didn't know, items in this game work quite differently from Diablo or many other loot based games. there's no gear score or any other way to have different level versions of the same item. a low level unique is always a low level unique, you can't find a higher level version with better stats

[dusky cosmos]

understood. thanks

Another question. Assuming I want to play javelin build. Does this spell scale with meele damage even its a range spell?

[stone imp]

no

[dusky cosmos]

Askign because of this passive in the passive skill tree

[stone imp]

it is a throwing attack so benefits from anything that talks about throwing

also, "spell" is not a catch-all term in last epoch. "skill" is the catch-all. attacks and spells are two different kinds of skill, so anything that applies to spells does not benefit attacks

throwing attacks are also very weird because your weapon usually only gives melee damage, which does not work on throwing attacks. so they instead have quite a lot of base damage on the skill itself and get damage from other sources

[wicked plover]

if you want to know if smth applies always check skill tags when you hover over your skills, at the bottom it will say for example "spell" or "throwing" or "melee" "channeling" or whatever

that way you can be sure

[dusky cosmos]

thanks.

Assuming I change a skill from fire to lightning will this one change too:

[native sail]

Nope, it only changes the base damage of the skill. That just adds physical damage.

[dusky cosmos]

How to you get enough mana as a paladin ? for example mages do have a mana burst in the passive skill tree when you use 3x 0 mana cost spells in a row

[buoyant sinew]

a few possible answers to that

[royal hinge]

I love this part. I'm still using a lvl 15 unique on a lvl 48 toon in lvl 58 mono and it's crushing it.

[buoyant sinew]

the time and faith node in the base sentinel tree is amazing mana recovery if you're using any of those skills

volatile reversal (void knight skill but available to anyone) undoes all mana you've spent in the last few seconds

a lot of builds can just stack mana regeneration

throwing builds usually need -cost of throwing skills rings

[wicked plover]

also check the skilltrees you are using, most have some sort of mana thing going

[dusky cosmos]

okay, so I can find items that get down the mana cost on throwing skills

[wicked plover]

si

[dusky cosmos]

and I looked up the node, thanks for the tip

first time I have fun theory crafting own builds

shout out to path of exile smile

[lethal mural]

why on diffrent axe i cant add melee sttack speed and i can on some ?

[wicked plover]

no open prefix?

[lethal mural]

not sure if its prefix but on is opne

oh i see

attack speedis prefix

2 on each side surfix on the right

[wicked plover]

yes, left is prefix, right is suffix

if you have 2 on the left already you cant add attack sppeed

[lethal mural]

got it

[safe sky]

when making a legendary, does the exalted need to be the exact same type of item (example unique 1H axe -> exalted 1H axe) or it can be any item that goes in the same slot (example unique 1H axe -> exalted 1H sword)?

[shell flame]

I think* I purchased the ultimate upgrade last week.. I have that baby dragon pet now, but is there a way I can verify what I purchased on steam? lol

[faint cape]

Same type (1h axe -> 1h axe)

[safe sky]

perfect thanks toast

[faint cape]

It should all show up in your Steam library

[shell flame]

I mean last epoch does, but the ultimate upgrade doesn't show as a dlc to see if it's in my library

all good

[faint cape]

It might take a little bit to update, but it'll show up in the DLC manager thing on the right (probably gotta scroll down)

when you have LE selected

[shell flame]

hmm, when I click DLC tab for Last epoch, it shows 0 DLCs listed, none for purchase, none owned. Either way I found purchase history and I did buy so I guess I'm good. Thanks for some guideance 🙂

Yea I don't think these are listed as DLCs.. oddly

[faint cape]

Very odd, I guess that works, too

[wanton kiln]

Can you see what items in your inventory are new?

[faint cape]

No, but the sorter packs things in a standard way so you can kinda assume which most recently were picked up

[wanton kiln]

So static orb does arc at enemies as it passes, right? I think it does =p

If I wanted to really make it shine for AOE, and be like a doom bfg should I go for static orb or invocate ball lighting?

[kindred wagon]

Can I somehow detect which encounter will be on the map before entering it? Like will it arena/ambush/imperial watchers/...

[buoyant sinew]

if you click on the echo it shows the name of the area, which will give away arenas. otherwise no

[faint cape]

Yeah it does. The ball lightning thing is going to carve a much wider path, might also bee able to use both.

[soft orchid]

anywhere to go for campaign speedrunning information?

are there lists for mandatory side quests for extra skill points, idol slots etc?

[wind oak]

it depends on the kind of conversion. There is base damage conversion and full conversion. See: https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/damage_conversion

[faint cape]

One of the maxroll guys, Terek I think, does speedruns

[faint cape]

On LE Tools, site linked right above yeah. They are only semi-mandatory, it's like you need to complete a certain number out of a larger number, doesn't matter which ones.

[soft orchid]

what level range should i be within zone?

[last tide]

When uniques are balanced in patches, do old ones keep their values or all auto update?

[faint cape]

Generally, just whatever level you happen to be - just keep pushing as high-leveled areas as you can

[faint cape]

They update

[soft orchid]

are skill point quests in addition to points from levelling up?

or do they just total together

to the same max

[native sail]

In addition

113 total passive points in the game

[soft orchid]

right so i need 100 plus all of the skill point quests to get max points

[native sail]

Well no

It's actually 97 from leveling

You don't get one at level 1 or 2

98?

You get the point I think

[surreal verge]

You only get a point at lv3, so 98 I thnik

[soft orchid]

is it more effcient to do point quests while levelling or loop back after campagin

[native sail]

I don't bother looping back

[faint cape]

Important thing is you only need to complete 15 of the passive point quests and 8 of the idol slot quests out of however many there are

[soft orchid]

right, so there are more passive/idol quests than there are the max amount youre able to benefit

so you only need to do a set number out of the total number that reward passive/idols

[faint cape]

At 1.0 and beyond, for your first char it'll probably be optimal to never backtrack, since you need to get to chapter 9 anyway to unlock factions

[toxic anvil]

you what

need to get to chapter 9?

for factions?

[faint cape]

yeh

[toxic anvil]

BRUH

is this even after you reach factions on one char?

if I create another I'll have to get to 9 again?

[faint cape]

after you unlock factions for that "stash", future chars get to pick their faction immediately

[toxic anvil]

okay cool thank god

still LOL, kinda late

[steel merlin]

How would you know

[sinful laurel]

Definitely really bad to have to play through the campaign one time

Idk how you will cope

[toxic anvil]

terrible 🤣

ill die I swear lmao

[faint cape]

😂

[toxic anvil]

im a campaign hater its fine 😆

i end up getting bored of the build by the end of it if its too long haha

I mean to be fair more endgame is planned so I'll get to do more stuff

[steel merlin]

Have you tried doing said stuff in campaign

[toxic anvil]

what stuff?

[steel merlin]

You know there are killable monsters there too

[pastel pebble]

I'm a Zaxk Awesomeness hater its fine 😄

[toxic anvil]

LMAOOOO

but fellow paladin player...

[toxic anvil]

yeeeeah

idk man not the same

[steel merlin]

Because of your character power level, not because random maps are inherently better

[toxic anvil]

im confused 🤣

[steep night]

does "physical penetration" work for bleed or do i specifically need "physical penetration for bleed"?

[wind oak]

phsy pen works

i think

[sinful laurel]

it does

[pastel pebble]

Phys Pen works

[sinful laurel]

bleed is physical damage

[royal hinge]

Before I go post in the bug section, and hopefully have someone else confirm what I see/don't see with this skill node interaction.

With Bone Curse, if you have Illusion of Pain and Cursed Limbs maxed out, you should still be applying Bone Curse on Hit for 2.5 more seconds, but when I'm watching the bosses status affects, I don't see Bone Curse reapplying after one hit with Harvest after I've Directly cast bone curse. It only shows up for the first time and no more.

[steep night]

cool ty. yeah know its phys but wanted to make sure it being a DOT didn't mess with pen

[wind oak]

is there any reason to hang onto uniques

that I don't need

[toxic anvil]

nope

if they dont have lp at least

[buoyant sinew]

future characters maybe

[wind oak]

no lp

[toxic anvil]

then u KNOW u wont want em

well yeah i guess u dont know FOR SURE if you wont want it later, but that's up to u

[wind oak]

right but there's no like secret recipe or salvage use for them

just checking:P

[toxic anvil]

dont believe so haha

[stone imp]

there's only one secret recipe in the game that we know of and it doesn't use uniques

[royal hinge]

I sell doubles and keep one of each because I like to collect pretty things.

[surreal verge]

Cursed limbs has a internal 1 sec cooldown.
IF you attack every second after, it at best, recasts trice

If you attacked every half second, it's still trice

[wind oak]

we need a unique stash tab :/

hehe

[toxic anvil]

we need stash tab affinity 🤣

[royal hinge]

With 5 points, and than 50% with Illusion of Pain, 2.5 seconds should be a lot of time to see it reapply, but I never do after it falls off the first time.

[wind oak]

sure but firs tI'll settle for having an organized display case for my 1 of each unique

[surreal verge]

Note that it's a RECAST, not "Oh just tag bone curse on hit" like it's old version.

So, do you have the one node that makes bone curse single target?

[royal hinge]

No

[surreal verge]

Hm, the best way to test would be via the node that causes an explosion on bone curse cast, and that's the results I got with it. Unless illusion of pain does something funnier with it.

[quick gorge]

IS ther ea fix for Immortal empire- find the outcasts in the risen lake bug?

[royal hinge]

I'm just confused: "After directly casting bone curse, you now cast bone curse on Hit for the next few seconds."

My understanding is that:

1: Cast Bone Curse 2: Hit to fall off 3. Hit to apply. 4. Hit again to fall off.

And it can only occur once every second. But it is either skipping step 3 and just falling off at the same time you make the hit to apply, so you never actually see the debuff on the bar, or it doesn't work right now.

[surreal verge]

I'll check that for ya, give me a few minutes.

[royal hinge]

Thank you. Just on my phone atm.

[royal hinge]

I would be doubly interested to know how the single target unlimited duration node works with Illusion of Pain, because Oppressive Gaze and IoP only say they don't work with Illusion of Agony

*Signet of Agony

[surreal verge]

Oh I know the answer to that one:
Duration is set to infinite instead of 8 seconds, but it still falls off after one hit.
Yes, Bone curse has a duration.

[royal hinge]

That's what I figured, thanks.

[wind oak]

does my "crafting inventory" not show class-specific shards....??

nvm I was on suffix only

would be great to be able to sort the table by column, so I could see my least-stocked shards....

[hardy viper]

hey all, quick question. im playing a necro and i just got to emperor of corpses for the first time, my minions keep pushing the boss on top of me when he is charging his one shot as im running away. does anyone have advice on how i can beat this boss with him sliding all over the floor by my minions?

[surreal verge]

Gotten it to proc twice. I'll send the clip in a bit.

@royal hinge Looks like the duration cut does something weird to it. Further testing brings the same results. Cursed limbs only procs twice. (The first proc can only be noticed by the cast itself)

[steep night]

for bleed hammerdin, does "hammer throw deals more damage" scale the bleeds at all? or just the hit damage

[native sail]

If it doesn't specify a specific part of the skill it will scale the damage of ailments applied by the skill

[steep night]

cool. any way to see that in tooltip? im guessing my character menu bleed damage is just the base 53 * %phys, etc

and so, while ive got ya, does strength also scale the bleed? it's increased damage, not more

[native sail]

Tooltip isn't really useful tbh.

[native sail]

Attributes are just converted to a generic increased modifier for the skill, so yes

[near path]

Sentinel also has bleed duration affixes on helm, body, and iirc idols as well. That helps you stack more bleeds, which is another scaling vector

[rancid meteor]

is party play bugged atm? everytime i join my friends game i cant see him and monsters are attacking and cant see

[wicked plover]

maybe reset the instance or check your connection/try out a different login server

[rancid meteor]

how do you reset the instance?

[wicked plover]

leave and go back in again 😄

[rancid meteor]

ahh okay thnx

[unique kernel]

Best class between Runemaster Hydra and Beastmaster Earthquare DoT Aftershock? trying to pick one before release. i havent lvled the beastmaster much yet.
Or best class overall atm?

[wicked plover]

there are big balance changes coming with 1.0
nobody could really tell ya for sure

just pick whatever looks fun to you and pray

[unique kernel]

can the beastmaster clear map fast? it seems op for bosses but im unsure for mapping

[near path]

That's not really how this game works. To clear monos quick you mostly just need movement speed / traversal skills

[hollow jetty]

question about ailments like frostbite. From LEtools, it says scales with DOT. what about stats? or cold damage? spell/melee?

[native sail]

Yes, yes, no.

[hollow jetty]

what stat increase frostbite damage?

[native sail]

Whatever stat scales the damage of the skill you're using to apply it.

[hollow jetty]

ah i see. thanks.

[native sail]

No prob

[acoustic thicket]

At lvl 55 should I keep using the lvling build or make my own now that I have a grasp of the game, and if I do how much gold should I save up to respec?

[wicked plover]

respec cost is not smth you have to worry about, its minimal

[acoustic thicket]

Ok ty

[native sail]

Yeah. It's like sub 200k to respec a level 100 character fully.

[acoustic thicket]

Just sold a relic in the desert for 20k so I should have enough now thx guys

[native sail]

Np.

[frail mortar]

Hi. I was wondering if it's possible to filter loot by names with the loot filter, I've looked but either it's not possible or I can't find it 🙂

[royal hinge]

Thanks for sharing. I saw it pop up super fast twice after the first one which coincides with the tool tip. I might have to play around with it a bit more since it looks to work properly. It just felt really bad to use and nerfed my DPS which is why I thought it was broken. I was thinking 150% guaranteed crit would be more impactful, but mobs melted faster without the node.

[surreal verge]

It all depends on how many hits you're doing, if you're hitting a LOT, illusion is mostly a DPS loss

[royal hinge]

Could probably use a buff.

[desert tree]

What do you mean by "name"?

The name of an item depend of the affixes it have

So you want to look for specific affixes

[frail mortar]

Not necessarily. For an example I need the "Odachi" sword, obviously with certain affix/suffix

I have filtered the affixes I want, but I was just wondering if theres a way to make it so only the sword I want shows up, instead of a million others

[surreal verge]

Filter ONE item type, there should be another option for you to filter WHICH ones of the item type.

[desert tree]

You can make a rule
Show > 2H Sword > Odachi

[frail mortar]

Ahhh

Thanks!

[dusky kite]

hydra is currently so op that I doubt that any bm build could come close, but the power of hydra's builds largely comes from bugs and unintended interactions (as well as a ton of just poorly balanced effects). Nobody knows how many of those will be fixed.

[dusky kite]

Most bm builds struggle with clear due to poor aoe coverage, but as said above you don't really have to kill too much trash in this game as most of it is objective-based and the meta is to actually avoid killing trash if your build doesnt do it passively

[dusky kite]

no cause that would enable unique filtering and that's not something the developers want to have in game

although I guess uniques do show up with a generic name while on the ground anyways

[frail mortar]

It is a feature. It was explained above

[restive gorge]

should I pick up purple items to fracture them?

from what I understand, purple is t6 drop only affix, so when fracturing is there a chance to get that?

[surreal verge]

You get up to 6 shards.

(Crafting is always 1 shard per tier, and you cannot upgrade beyond tier 5

[restive gorge]

but when it comes to purple items

can I get the tier 6 affix by destroying that item?

or the only way to keep it is to craft on that item as it dropped?

[desert tree]

You can get 6 shards

[frail mortar]

your shards doesnt have "tiers" they just improve tiers

[surreal verge]

The latter.
Shards are always "1 tier worth"

[restive gorge]

oh, you mean purple items gives more shards?

[frail mortar]

they can, i think so

[restive gorge]

roger

[frail mortar]

i just dismantled a t6 elemental res and it gave me 2 shards

[surreal verge]

Yes, shards given= tier of affix

[restive gorge]

thanks

[restive gorge]

rune of removal is one way of removing an affix, right?

[safe harness]

yes

rune of remove gives number of shards equal to the tier of the affix removed

rune of shattering gives a random number of shards accross all the item's affixes

[restive gorge]

yeah, but specifically for crafting a better item, if I wanna remove 1 affix, there's no deterministic way, I just have to hope for 1 in 4

[surreal verge]

Correct

[restive gorge]

and glyph of despair can "lock" 1 affix in the "5th" slot?

so on success I can have an item with 5 affixes?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[restive gorge]

nice

does this mean upgrading it costs 24 of these shards?

[surreal verge]

That means you have 24 shards

[icy drift]

it always costs 1 shard to upgrade

[restive gorge]

oooh, that's nice

I was worried there for a second

[quartz blaze]

more shards for the shard god

[restive gorge]

btw, when fracturing an item, can I get up to the number of affix tier of shards of that affix?

[icy drift]

yes

[restive gorge]

thanks

found another helmet with +1 to my skill, fractured old one and upgraded the new one from t3 to t4

[supple moat]

I have a question about skill scaling tags,
I'm using transplant to deal dmg, its base type is physical but when I switch its dmg type to necrotic (I have 325% increased necrotic dmg) its dps increase less than 2%
Is that normal?

Big picture = necrotic dmg 86912
Small picture = physical dmg 86293
https://i.imgur.com/xLWbRdf.jpeg
https://i.imgur.com/1zPs21U.png

[surreal verge]

1. Never trust tooltip DPS.

That's it.

[restive gorge]

can't wait for something like path of building for last epoch

[supple moat]

so the skill deals more dmg and I should keep it as necrotic ?

cuz I have 0 physical dps increase but 350% necrotic

[surreal verge]

You should actually test it yourself and find out-

[icy drift]

yeah just hit something and look at the damage numbers

[icy drift]

plus just looking at your "increased x damage" stat is a very, very, very unreliable way of knowing what's gonna be better

[restive gorge]

oh, I just realized, do I unlock remaining ones during some side quests in campaign, or elsewhere?

[quartz blaze]

side quests

if you do all quests youll have every slot about lvl 40-45 or so

[restive gorge]

I'm at mono now

[quartz blaze]

you missed some quests then lul

[restive gorge]

oh I skipped everything I could

[keen cove]

Question: Under Ice Thorns skill tree we have sundering thorns and then a skill for cooldown. That skill is 35% per level. Does that get the cool down from 4 seconds to 0 or is it going to clock in at like 1.7 seconds or so?

[restive gorge]

is there an easy way to find required quests in game?

[opal nest]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/idols

[quartz blaze]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/quests

[restive gorge]

thanks

and is there no way to cancel quests like these?

[desert tree]

Nope

[restive gorge]

silly

[wind oak]

hey it has better rewards than completing a monolith

which for some reason gives 1k gold/xp

[restive gorge]

damn, it looks like the optimal way is just to grab all quests and see which have the desired rewards

[soft beacon]

when levelling a character, is it generally not required to craft/up tiers on your gear unless you are seeing especially low dps/survivability

[restive gorge]

I think you wanna craft for resistance and damage whenever you can

[strange parcel]

is there a diff between offline and online?

other than chat

[surreal verge]

Doesn't interact with each other.
Eg:No trade

[lethal mural]

most of the time is it better to rush trough the monolith and get the current bonus stability form when the quest gets completed or be a lil bit slower and do the bonus stability ?

[icy drift]

rush

[lethal mural]

kk ty

[strange parcel]

but there is no trade rn?

also is there a way to change this elemental dmg to something else?

[surreal verge]

It comes at 1.0

[strange parcel]

so there no diff between the two modes before 1.0

[clear rain]

Hello, anyone knows how many fragments soul feast creates per target?

[surreal verge]

1 by default

[restive gorge]

oh, I see, there are more quest than the maximum rewards you can get, so you don't need to do them all

I was just a few away

[clear rain]

That means it can be more? That’s very nice indeed. Thank you

[desert tree]

Since its already a t5 the only solution is to try to remove it

But Rune of Removal is random, so 1/4 chance to hit this one ,1/4 chance to hit your t6 necrotic

[icy drift]

nope

best you can do is use a rune of removal and beg it hits the 1/4

[surreal verge]

There's only a single node that changes it I think Whoops, they changed it to modify the one fragment instead, so it's locked to one per enemy.

[red needle]

got a question regarding filters
im showing the affixes im looking for and hiding the rest
working so far
now i wanted to recolour the base items i want so i see if the affixes are on a good base
but now the filter shows every item i want to have recoloured even if they are white
so seems the recolour overwrites the show/hide rules based on the affixes

[icy drift]

depends on the order you put them in, rules on top overrule rules underneath

so you most likely put the recolour rule at the top

which is overriding everything else

[red needle]

i got the recolour after the affixe rules

so order is
show affixes i want
recolour bases i want
hide all white/magic/rare
i still see recoloured bases even if they are white

[icy drift]

yes that makes sense

since the hide rule is at the bottom

so all the rules above overrule it

[red needle]

ok so recoulour after the hide
ill test that

[icy drift]

yes

[red needle]

then the bases dont get recoloured

seems like i need to hide everything except the bases i want

[steel merlin]

recolour is actually "show and recolour"

[red needle]

yeah seems like it

[steel merlin]

you need to do combined rules for what you want i think

[red needle]

yeah copy my show affix rule and make it to recolour for the bases

[steel merlin]

first rule is recolor items of good base with good affixes, second rule just show good affixes, third hide

[red needle]

thanks

[restive gorge]

waitaminute how does that work

I got 7 shards from an item that had t5 affix at highest

I thought I can only get up to the amount of highest t affix?

so in this case 5? no?

[dusky kite]

It's per affix

[foggy wadi]

Hello homies ! I tried to play in a group yesterday with a friend and he keep disconnecting every 10 to 30 min, it seems to happen every time we move to a city with other players. Is there any fix ?

[restive gorge]

so 4 tier 5 affixes can yield as many as 20 shards from one shatter?

[dusky kite]

You can in principle get 20 shards from a t20 item

[restive gorge]

nice, good to know

can I obtain more shatters other than from drops?

is it worth shattering for as little as 2 useful t2 affixes?

[steel merlin]

more shatter runes?

[restive gorge]

yes

[steel merlin]

if you are asking that, you can buy a few of them from vendor npc

it's like three per npc inventory reset

[restive gorge]

thanks

[hardy spoke]

IF they will nerf, patch, buff anything, which I think they will. Do you think we will get that info before the 21?

[restive gorge]

it would be sensible of them to release patch notes before the launch, yes

[lethal mural]

i hate the lagoon, always takes me a couples tries when im rusty, just killed him in the monolith, i guess 5 levels below the area level ddint help

[strange parcel]

what does this mean

[dusky kite]

Take another look at your relic

[plucky sage]

What would you say is the least mana-starved build? Would love to play something that doesn't run into mana issues (if there is such a build in the first place)

[strange parcel]

not very familiar with the game, but my harvest / death seal lich has 0 issues with mana

[sour zealot]

hello, why i cant login LE website via steam?
it always go back to login screen after i confirm in steam web login.

After logging through steam try to manually put https://portal.lastepoch.com/ in url

[royal hinge]

Spellblade Runemaster - Tanky AF, blow load on Enchant Weapon/Flame Ward/Runic Invocation, Cast Frost Claw when hit with another chance for Elemental Nova to go off as well, Flame Rush whenever off CD, spam Mana Strike with Lightning Bolts going off and never worry about how much mana you're spending ever again.

Don't even have to have Frost Claw or Elemental Nova equipped on bar since they auto cast from everything else and run base form/no spec of Flame Ward and Flame Rush for different Runic Invocation combos.

or an Endless Storm Werebear... You don't even use mana and stay at max rage all the time.

[plucky sage]

Sounds interesting, can you share the builds for these? I was planing to go with runemaster for 1.0

Thank you

[royal hinge]

Doing empowered mono's with it, but just grinding better gear and need to change out a few of the idols for 2x2's to cast Lightning Aegis when hit

[restive gorge]

do I wanna prioritize any of these for the first unlock, or it doesn't much matter?

[royal hinge]

You can do every invocation except anything that requires two of the Cold runes since Flame Ward is apparently making that when cast atm.

[restive gorge]

I'm thinking more xp for faster progression?

[royal hinge]

definitely more XP

[restive gorge]

okay

[crystal hare]

is there a list of empowered blessings from each monolith? haven't found one on google

[royal hinge]

you'll get tons of gold and idols along the way regardless, but XP has no other boosts I know of

Last Epoch Tools

you can go to the blessing tab for build planner and see what's available from each area.

[crystal hare]

nice didn't know that existed thanx

[royal hinge]

i'm pretty sure Maxroll and Icyveins probably have resources as well.

[crystal hare]

i tried to search on maxroll didn't find

[royal hinge]

fair enough, I use tools for everything I need

[lethal mural]

wondering how do you calculate lets say when you have void melee damge on the wpn in that case + 43 and +130 melee in thr base + 123 % increased melle damage bonus on other gear ? what the order of operations ?

[steel merlin]

all flat from everywhere gets summed together, and then increased from all sources everywhere

doesnt matter if a modifier comes from weapon or something else

[lethal mural]

ok ty

[rigid spoke]

Does %damage reflected scale with armor shred?

[clear rain]

Is there a way to convert all physical dmg to necrotic? Like equipment or anything really?

[royal hinge]

I can't think of one off the top of my head right now

guessing Lich?

[toxic echo]

not all phys dmg. its usually done skill by skill

[royal hinge]

a lot of the skill trees that are anything other than Necro already can be converted to Necro usually

[toxic echo]

there are some uniques that can do individual skills as well. but nothing global

[faint cape]

No, it doesn't scale with anything at all other than you taking more damage

[rigid spoke]

weird, thought that shredding enemies' armour would make them take more reflected damage from their abilities, guess not

[royal hinge]

I was under the impression that if a mob is doing physical damage, that type gets reflected back. so if their armor was shredded, they would take more of the reflected damage.

[dusky kite]

tbh a lot if not most builds don't have mana issues, not the least because nobody builds the stuff that would have them - as mana management tools in this game are.. rudimentary by design

[royal hinge]

the part i'm not familiar on, is if you take necrotic damage, it reflects necrotic, take cold, reflect cold, etc.

or if it just reflects physical to everything no matter what type

[acoustic thicket]

What's the closest class to DH on D3 with Natalyas set?

[dusky kite]

it doesn't matter that much but I usually pick gold then replace it later once I'm in higher corruption (so that the bonus from gold blessing isn't as relevant)

[royal hinge]

My guess will be Falconer once it is released.

wait, Natalya, what did that set do again?

[acoustic thicket]

It changed strafe to increase movement speed and shoot hungering arrows scaled with attack speed, so you'd essentially hold right click, move stupidly fast, and shoot arrows at everything around you

[royal hinge]

there's the Rogue Marksman

I don't think the Rogue has a strafe skill at all right now though

[dusky kite]

sounds like umbral blade/shadow daggers build, although in that case you like a true fr*nchman are usually running away from mobs, not into them

^ on bd

[acoustic thicket]

Really just any class that moves super fast and throws projectiles out at everything with minimal effort lol

[royal hinge]

Warpath?

on Sentinel?

[dusky kite]

if you don't mind throwing shit at mobs manually, then various throwing builds on bd and sent can fit the bill

If you want to just run through mobs and autobomb them with whatever, then vk has the eponymous "autobomber" build although it's been nerfed from its prime power back in the day

[royal hinge]

can't he throw hammers while using Warpath?

[dusky kite]

or you can build runemaster autobomber with the various spells that spawn rotating orbs that shock mobs around you

[royal hinge]

Ghost Flame for the Warlock tree has a movement node while channeling

i'm building a Necrotic Rip Blood build using that when I get teh opportunity

[strange parcel]

whats block effectiveness?

[rigid spoke]

throwing hammers with vortex pennant and proc smite

during warpath

[faint cape]

Nope. Sidenote, armor protects against hits btw, not physical damage specifically.

[dusky kite]

how much damage you mitigate when blocking

[candid spire]

when is last epoch 2 coming?

[candid elm]

More details https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/block

[restive gorge]

is there currently no trading?

[candid elm]

There's currently gifting items that dropped while grouped. The full trading system is coming in 1.0 on Feb 21st

[clear rain]

I was actually thinking about blood rip skill, with the splash bit, it’s physical damage, everything else on the skill can be converted, to necrotic or poison, but not the AoE part of it. I was just curious

[rigid spoke]

it does get converted

[clear rain]

Really?

[rigid spoke]

blood splatter gets converted and becomes this light-green glue

[clear rain]

When using the node that converts rip blood to necrotic? Or is it other?

[rigid spoke]

that node

[clear rain]

I see, does it mention it? lol

[rigid spoke]

I don't know

wait it litreally does say

[clear rain]

I need glasses

[rigid spoke]

"Rip bloods and Blood Splatters"

[clear rain]

Just noticed

Getting old

[royal hinge]

That's right, but the goal is for Bleed Overload, so AoE procs of Bleed are going to stack them faster once your first overload finishes. You can add some poison chance for fun to the tree as well at 20% just because I didn't see anything better for how I specced it.

NVM what I said than

lol

lol

[clear rain]

Brilliant

I am using drain life as a main skill and I was looking for a skill to use while recovering mana

[royal hinge]

ahh, were you just looking to use it in a build right now?

can't wait for warlock @1.0

[dusky kite]

check back in 10 years

[candid spire]

Idk i just saw few videos that were saying how good last epoch is and why you should buy it when it comes and etc
So when i see last epoch on my steam it says release date was 2019 so i thought there was a second version coming
Also if its so good why there are only 5k players

[cedar locust]

Steam Early Access release was 2019 iirc - 1.0 launches in 20 days!

A lot of Arpgs have cycles of high player count as new content and updates come out for the game, or when other Arpgs launch content. Our 0.9 launch took us from 4k players on March 7th to 40k players on March 9th!

[marsh maple]

seasonal waves. Every ARPG works on seasons. If you go look at PoE, its peak is like 300k per season, but its dip is like 20-30k.

its just natrual

[royal hinge]

A lot of people are still waiting on 1.0 before sinking their teeth into it too.

[surreal wadi]

hallo

[royal hinge]

This, unlike many other beta's, is extremely polished. It helps that we're so close to launch though and it's just getting better and better with each update.

[restive gorge]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-chat-cat-fall-hello-chat-cat-gif-24961178

[surreal wadi]

when did you get the game? just curious

[restive gorge]

why ? 😄

at least 3 years ago

[surreal wadi]

welp you have more experience than me

[restive gorge]

no I don't I didn't play much then and I only really started playing now

the experience I have is from POE, not this game

and are you sure you haven't mixed me up with someone else?

[candid spire]

Oh okay understood
So i can buy the last epoch rn and also enjoy the content coming in 20 days or itll be a diffrent game? (Ik stupid question but i want to be sure its the same thing)

[candid spire]

Yessir
Got it

[candid spire]

Yea
Asmongold said he is also going to give it a chance
Thats also where i saw last epoch, in his recent video

[dusky kite]

Just for reference, BG3 used to have what, <1k concurrent players for months before release?

It's not about the quality of a given game but purely about marketing. Like why would you play before a major patch that will globally change things?

[cedar locust]

You can play now and keep playing your characters when 1.0 launches. Any existing characters will be moved to Legacy, and Cycles will need a new characters however for Cycle 1 there is no difference between the content

[candid spire]

Thanks for the info

[dusky kite]

Well, we must have different standards of "extreme polish" and the industry certainly has no standard of what counts for a "beta" at all. Just as a reminder, world of tanks stayed in "beta" for 11 years despite being feature complete, having full monetization, ranked play and god only knows what else

[candid spire]

Yea i just thought a new last epoch was going to release cause it said the current release date for last epoch was 2019 but i got it now

[cedar locust]

No worries, glad to have you here!

[marsh maple]

your not alone with that question

a lot of people ask it

cause ARPG's aren't the norm

when it comes to people playing it

people playing games like PoE, Diablo etc go really really hard for the first two to four weeks, then dip

till next season

[dusky kite]

but that's literally the norm in most games with cyclical updates

not any different in wow or league or something

[marsh maple]

yeah but ARPGs last shorter seasons

[dusky kite]

new major patch drops, people hop in on the hype train, then the player numbers taper off mid season

[candid spire]

Yea im not used to this
POE was too complicated and Diablo 4 was way too P2W even tho im a spender i hated it so when i play last epoch it'll be my first
Im going to continue watching asmongold video about last epoch so i can get more ideas about the game before i buy

[cedar locust]

Zizaran, Perry, Dre3adful and Aaron also have some good videos to watch if you want to learn about Last Epoch! What do you want to know?

[marsh maple]

One moment

I have the perfect video for this

[strange parcel]

do the lower area lvl blessings carry on to the higher lvl area ones ?

[marsh maple]

@cedar locust https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OvGQfJFVXo&t=31s you should make a command for this video

so I dont have to dig it up every time I need to

[toxic echo]

they are basically items...they stay with you until you replace them

[strange parcel]

so its worth grinding the lower areas for good blessings then?

[faint cape]

No

[strange parcel]

why not?

[candid spire]

Yea i will check them out for sure
Idk what else i need to know but some gameplay and extra information would be cool
As of now i know that last epoch has no micro-transactions - good price - perfect individual skill tree - good game depth and some more

Im only hearing good things

[faint cape]

The level 100 version of each monolith has better versions of the blessings

[strange parcel]

well yeah but im veeeery far from there 😄

[candid spire]

Ima watch this too
Thanks

[cedar locust]

Haha, I can add it to my bookmarks at least. Also a trick I use is searching for specific words I used when sharing a link or searching 'from:-name- has:link' in the discord search

[faint cape]

If you're in monoliths already, then not too far off! I don't think any of the blessings are game-changing enough to warrant repeating low level content for, unless maybe if you reeeally need one of the leech blessings

[rigid spoke]

Have you seen a yeti?

[candid spire]

One more question
What are these Deluxe and Ultimate Edition ones? What content they got

[strange parcel]

isnt the game loop basically do monolith maps till you find a bunch of t6-t7 affixes on gear you care about ?

[toxic echo]

they have a variety of MTX. you can see all the pieces in steam

[toxic echo]

more or less. you can do dungeons and arenas in there as well. but yea...play game, get loot, play more game, get more loot, repeat

[candid spire]

What is MTX tho

[toxic echo]

short for microtransactions. in LE, its just cosmetic things you can put on your character

[candid spire]

Oh so theres no extra content?
Thats good
Tho i will check out the cosmetics too see if they worth buying💪

[toxic echo]

nope. no extra content. everything that will be in game content wise, is coming with the base game you already purchased.

unless they announce some big expansion, which even if it did exist, isnt coming anytime soon since its not even at 1.0.

[hardy spoke]

do we know how long a cycle will be? they should called that epoch

[wicked plover]

they dont have a specific time window, probably 3-4 months

[toxic echo]

nothing concrete, but they said about normal arpg cycles, so, 3-4 months

will likely vary depending on what the cycle is / how long dev is taking on it.

[hardy spoke]

I would love 16 weeks or so, but 4 months is also fine, worst case I play in standard a bit after the cycle is over

[wicked plover]

but .. arent.. 16 weeks, 4 months?

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

[hardy spoke]

nope

[sinful laurel]

You live in a crazy, magical land traveller. Welcome

[rigid spoke]

maybe he has seen a yeti

[steel merlin]

4 months is 17 weeks

[merry idol]

when the game releases at 21st, will all progress be lost?

[steel merlin]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362

[rigid spoke]

yes, all the progress humanity has made in the last centuries will be lost forever

[sinful laurel]

Infrastructure crumblrs

It's the end of times

[merry idol]

we're doomed

see you bois

[mighty nova]

this truly is the Last Epoch

[cedar locust]

Owobyss reigns

[faint cape]

Even expansions will be no extra cost (which basically every major patch is like an expansion)

[hardy spoke]

17.40 on average I think

that is why we need 28 days months 🤷‍♂️

[mighty nova]

Your old characters and everything will still exist, they'll just be on Legacy, which will get content simultaneously with the first few cycles.

[hardy spoke]

anyhow, 3 tp 4 months, thanks folks

[mighty nova]

The only reason to make a new character at 1.0 is either to test out the new masteries, or for leaderboard/market specificity reasons (if you're planning on being in the market guild)

[sinful laurel]

Or if you just like the reset...

[hardy spoke]

market guild here, I always drop stuff that is not for my build, so hopefully I can buy the stuff I need

BTW will be market also be applied to standard? meaning I can just join the guild on standard and start to sell the items that drop there when I have the level?

[dusky kite]

yea the guilds will be on standard servers at 1.0 release but I think they confirmed that you won't be able to sell items dropped before 1.0

[jovial fern]

Hey, I bought the game yesterday.... Before Keepers Camp, it's always over for me, if I even manage to log in at all. I always lose the connection to the server at the entrance and can't log in with any of my chars.
Extremely frustrating! Has anyone had this problem? What can I do? Do you all play offline? Do i have to play offline?

[hardy spoke]

that is fine, I get that, but I don't necessarily need to be in the first league if the content is the same, specially with the normal adult workload (wife, kids, work, house, etc)

[dusky kite]

try different servers on login. Where are you from and what's your ISP? Some people have reported consistent networking problems while others (most I guess) have no major issues

[jovial fern]

trying to log in to EU west

[dusky kite]

yeah however they said that for the first few leagues the legacy mode will get concurrent updates with all the new features, which implies that at some point in the future they'll change to the POE model

or maybe not, who knows, so far they had been fairly good at listening to community feedback

[toxic echo]

even if the US east server has worse ping, it might be more stable to play on

[dusky kite]

euw is usually fucked because of excessive load, try other servers

[hardy spoke]

I get that, but for the 1st cycle* I could save myself some time and still have fun.

[dusky kite]

like EU east or something.. oh wait

[cedar locust]

Hi , if swapping servers doesn't help please let me know!

[steel merlin]

At this point it's going to be on faq

Why cant I login/play well? I'm in euw

Go to NA

[cedar locust]

I just might, though the network/backend team have been working hard on improvements so it hopefully won't be needed!

[steel merlin]

@jovial fern can you tell us if it works?

[jovial fern]

unfortunately that doesn't help either....

[jovial fern]

not working...

[steel merlin]

Aw

[jovial fern]

i have bought a login screen.... 😢

[cedar locust]

Are you seeing any error messages?

[jovial fern]

no, not at all

[cedar locust]

Where are you playing from and who is your internet service provider?

[jovial fern]

Germany and telekom

[vast lotus]

I bought last epoch last year. I noticed it is being released later this month -- will characters be wiped? Also what has changed multiplayer wise?

[cedar locust]

Ah, okay. Do you have a VPN we can test something with?

[toxic echo]

no wipes. just a move to legacy (similar to d4 and poe)

[jovial fern]

not at the moment, give me some minutes

[near path]

#1161416976321744896 #news

Read

[toxic echo]

MP hasnt changed that much...just a bit more stable

[cedar locust]

Thank you 🙂

[vast lotus]

thanks

is there like an auction house or ability to trade between players?

[dense root]

coming in 1.0

20 more days

[vast lotus]

nice thanks

[balmy pulsar]

what is weavers will as i just found these. first time ive come across it

[hardy spoke]

BTW when we sell or buy an item, does that item gets out of the market from that point and on? Meaning as soon as I or anyone buys an item, I won't be able to resell it correct?

[toxic echo]

you equip it and kill things, it gets 1 affix per 1 point of weaver will

[toxic echo]

correct. can still gift via resonances tho

[dense root]

no resale yeh

[balmy pulsar]

ok so they gradually get better then i take it?>

[jovial fern]

hm, free version of hide.me, vpn in switzerland, i am online...why 🙃

[hardy spoke]

resonances are fine, since you got actually properly team up

[toxic echo]

yes. you can get some real nice item from WW

[balmy pulsar]

cool lets hope these boots get better lol

[cedar locust]

This points to it being an issue with your ISP and routing to our game servers. There are other games having issues at the moment in Germany with a few ISPs.

It's worth reaching out to them and asking if anything has been changed or if they can see anything in their data!

[jovial fern]

okay, thx for the info. poe is running for weeks/mounth without any problem, but i will call the telekom and try to check that. Thank you very much!

[ancient pasture]

Any word on PvP implementation and what that might look like?

[toxic echo]

not anytime soon

[cedar locust]

Not all players are having issues on all games, and sometimes a player might have an issue in one but not another when it's the opposite for a different player.

It's worth knowing, you can choose the best server on a VPN, so one in the same city or close by with a better ping should still work!

[jovial fern]

Thank you very much for your support! Then I'll start looking for a good VPN solution 😉

[restive gorge]

do I go for bonus stability in mono, or rather rush more echo's for more rewards?

[toxic echo]

rushing is generally better. echo rewards > mob kill rewards

[restive gorge]

👍

[cedar locust]

Cloudflare-warp is a good option, though there might be a better one that suits your needs!

[abstract moss]

Hey guys! I'm loving this game so far. There's some plans for the Disconnect problems on 1.0? I just left offline and I'm trying to play online, but I'm getting DC often when I change zones

[balmy pulsar]

whats the most WW you can get on an item?

andi didnt get good roles +2 vitality and +19%armour

[toxic echo]

28. tho thats a bit of a fairy tale

anything 16+ i generally keep

[balmy pulsar]

well damn and i thought my first +5 was high rofl lol

[cedar locust]

Which server are you connecting to? Are you able to try a different one?

[abstract moss]

I'm currently in South America, I've already tried Us East and West. Not lagging just DC on changing zones

[cedar locust]

Do you have a VPN so we can test something?

[abstract moss]

Unfortunately not 🥲

[cedar locust]

That's okay, if you're able to, Cloudflare-warp is a good free one to use! This is just to see if there is a routing issue between our servers and your internet provider!

[faint cape]

I think 5 is the absolute minimum WW 😅

[wicked plover]

i read that 28 was theoretically possible, do we have any % or rates for that happening? i think highest i ever had was 21 or smth like that

[faint cape]

Yeah, 28 is the max (in other words, you'll get 4 T7 affixes). I have no clue on rates, never seen a 28 posted though

[wicked plover]

probably like 2lp ravenous void, so non existent chance

[toxic echo]

ive had some low 20's. and those seem exceedingly hard to get

[wicked plover]

4xt7 would be so nuts ^^ even without the base unqiue on top

[buoyant sinew]

I have seen a chart that claimed to be accurate based on datamining

can't easily find it now

[wicked plover]

how many zeros after 0, are we talking

[desert pebble]

Is lich's reaper/melee build viable?

someone commented on reddit he is playing it and feels fun and great, he got downvote bombartment though

[toxic echo]

depends on what you want viable to be. if you want a 1000corruption build, likely not...but if you want to get to 200-300 and be fine, its fine

[desert pebble]

what can reach that amount of corruption though

[toxic echo]

1000c? some of the top end builds...RM can do it with a few...almost anything LL ward right now. some shadow dagger builds.

200-300 just about anything should be able to do to some extent

[acoustic thicket]

Is there a group term for 2nd hand items such as quivers & catalysts?

[toxic echo]

the item filter has them in "off-hand"

[acoustic thicket]

Ah makes sense, thanks

[dusky kite]

it would but shock doesn't deal damage

[dawn orbit]

could someone explain how reskill work? After i reskilled, i lost some points. There now stand increase exp to lvl 2. After i lvl up i got a skill point and the text removed. Now i testwise reskilled again and i still have only 1 point ( the minimum point)

[molten thicket]

if u respec points or switch skills you will start with minimum amount of points(it goes up with levels) and then u get the rest of the points when you earn exp to level up the skill, it has its own exp bar

[dawn orbit]

yes but after a lvl up i got a skill point but the skill bar was in the middle

[molten thicket]

yes your skill have their own exp bar and it has nothing to do with when you level up, the skill have to level up

[dawn orbit]

yes but why i got a new skill point when i lvled up

[buoyant sinew]

coincidence, both happened at the same time

[molten thicket]

probably the minimum amount of points went up when you leveld up

[buoyant sinew]

oh true it could be

[dawn orbit]

no they are still at one

just checked it

[buoyant sinew]

If your skill is very under the level it should be it levels extremely fast though

[dawn orbit]

maybe when i am back with the skills lvls and i lvl up i get a point to catch up?

[buoyant sinew]

as in can gain a level from a single pack

[dawn orbit]

yes but its in the middle of the skill vl bar so it should not give me a skill point

[molten thicket]

maybe it got 1,5 levels or u equipped a item that gave u + level to a spell

[dawn orbit]

and the skill doesnt lvled up its still on lvl1

[buoyant sinew]

Or it gained a level and a half while you weren't looking

I don't know what you're expecting here, the mechanic you're theorising just doesn't exist

[dawn orbit]

it happend to me so i wanted to understand it

i will make some tests in this case

[wicked plover]

it may help to show a screenshot of what you are trying to describe

[dawn orbit]

I will make some later, when i will try to recreate the situation

[surreal spindle]

what can you use to freeze enemies?

[molten thicket]

anything with a freeze rate

[surreal verge]

Most cold skills.

[surreal spindle]

what cold skill do i have as rogue?

[surreal verge]

Don't. It's not worth it. Rogue has no freeze support.
Otherwise: Umbral Blades converted, check top right.

[surreal spindle]

alright so umbral blades

[surreal verge]

Detonating arrow.
Hail of Arrows.

I don't know if decoy counts.

[minor vigil]

Reign of winter 🙂

[surreal verge]

That's TECHNICALLY a unique

[molten thicket]

if you play earthquake and apply ignite on hit with a aftershock does the ignite dmg get increased by increases to aftershock dmg?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, skill specific damage modifiers work on ailments the skill causes as long as they aren't hit damage specific

you have to watch out for that though because a lot of skill tree damage nodes are hit specific

[lethal mural]

that shield rush sucks sometimes, i tried mutiple time to do the reign dragon boss, shield was stooping and i was one shot on that thing you need to get out, i decided to take the rebuke skill on my void kknight i was negatiting like 80% of dmg for like 4 sec, that crazy one shot was only remove 1/4 of my life and got it first time after i decided to take rebuke, im 74 it mihght be why it was hitting hard

[molten thicket]

ok i wasnt sure because ignite is not a aftershock and it clearly sais aftershock damage

[acoustic thicket]

Hello guys,

I don't know what to do, I have a few bugs and can't play atm, where can I ask ?

Thanks

[buoyant sinew]

Aftershock is just another skill

[restive gorge]

is it rng to locate these?

do these apply to whole mono thingy or just the one of this level?

[cedar locust]

What's up?

[restive gorge]

like only this one, or all of them?

[minor vigil]

It resets the echo web. It doesn't lower your stability

Or interact with the quest echoes

[surreal verge]

Edge of the web, semi-rng, only pushes corruption for that monolith.

[vital coral]

Is this Orobyss?

[desert tree]

Yes

[surreal spindle]

chance to chill isnt chance to freeze right? does chance to freeze even exist ?

[vital coral]

Hit G in-game it has the calculator for all that

[surreal verge]

Correct, they're different.
It's called Freeze Rate Multiplier, because it only works on skills with freeze rates.

[surreal spindle]

so yeah there isnt any item that would have a chance to freeze but only skills

[acoustic thicket]

The top right of my minimap says "18.03". What does that mean?

[desert tree]

What time is it?

[acoustic thicket]

OH! The time, right. The lack of colon in 18:03 confused my brain

[edgy sphinx]

Is there a unique that makes fireball full or partial cold damage?

[verbal cargo]

After my 10th try of making a support ticket, I keep getting this error. There is no such thing as a question that asks "Is your issue happening Offline or On-line?", and after this error the whole thing just breaks. What can I do?

[acoustic thicket]

I launch the game, I can login and play an offline character until I click on "play"

Looks like I have a error message but can't see it
Also, my application (mozilla, discord) crashes too

[desert tree]

Nope

[toxic echo]

lightning, but no cold

[edgy sphinx]

Unfortunate.

[cedar locust]

Please report the issue to us in #1123698102470189118 and post your Player.log files

[cedar locust]

Are you able to launch if nothing else is running?

[verbal cargo]

ok ty 🙂

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[acoustic thicket]

No ! One time I thank it was Mozilla but no 😦
trying to update my driver and update windows

[restive gorge]

oof, it's a bossfight

[faint cape]

I think all the aftershock damage nodes apply to its ailments except for the 'vs chilled' node

[restive gorge]

I lost the stability from this node?

[faint cape]

Yeah, when you die in an echo its completion stability goes away

[acoustic thicket]

Turn the sound up he gives a notice before the meteor shoots across

[earnest belfry]

Cam someone help me look for items? I've had the worst luck trying to find decent items for my sorcerer but no luck.

[cedar locust]

If driver updates don't help, please try joining another server on the log-in page

[acoustic thicket]

Oh ! Ok, i'm doing that ! thnaks

[restive gorge]

did it on second try. took a minute to learn his attacks, my void is only 41%

[molten thicket]

anyone know if converting earthquake to fire or using bhuldar's wrath converts the aftershocks to fire aswell or no?

[faint cape]

It does

[earnest belfry]

Hey guys, anyone willing to help me out? I need someone to help me get better items. I die so fast and I keep dying in my own monolith and it's ridiculous

[candid elm]

You might want to ask in the looking for group channel, #👥┃lfg

[lethal mural]

im level 75 and im doing level 90 monolith even tho i kill at decent speed exp seems shit, does it get better when im higher level ?

[wicked plover]

your additional exp gain is capped 10 lvls above you

so currently no

[toxic echo]

not really...xp caps 10 lvls above you, so it will get worse. you are still maxxing your xp gain

[candid elm]

It just slows down a lot at higher levels. Going fast can help some.

[wicked plover]

yea your biggest boost will be killing more stuff faster

so theoretically you would get more exp if you actually go down in area lvl

[candid elm]

One of the more recent patches made it take longer

[lethal mural]

i think its still beterto do 90 than 85 cuz ill get the max 10 level bonus longer

[faint cape]

Yep, the goal is to push up to level 100 zones as soon as possible, because empowered is just better than everything else

[candid elm]

Ahh, it was the 80-100 that was made to take longer
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/runes-of-power-beta-0-9-2-patch-notes/60471/2

[faint cape]

Really just >85 is slower and below that is a bit faster

[candid elm]

Keep pushing. As long as you're comfortable and not constantly dying.

Once you do those 3x level 90 Monoliths, you unlock the Empowered level 100 Monoliths

[lethal mural]

its mostly the quest 3 boss that gives me problem , i need to learn mechanic even tho i check tutorial

the reign bosss i took rebuke to negate damage

shiled rush was bugigng

[faint cape]

There is definitely always a learning curve on bosses, but once you are familiar with them and their mechanics, they become a lot easier

[lethal mural]

i bet yes

[candid elm]

Luckily, if you die on those, you may just need to get a more stability to try again.

If you want some guides, Maxroll has pretty good breakdowns on the boss abilities with little video clips - scroll down a bit for each boss https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/monolith

[lethal mural]

i know that sucks lol

i had to reset web

maybe not but i did

was kind of mistkew but took the boss couple runs later

[candid elm]

It's probably not worth it to reset the web in regular Monoliths. Once you get to Empowered you'll do that to raise the Corruption. But in regular it's capped at something like 50

[lethal mural]

i did not run out of rock thing i couldve go back

[candid elm]

Ah yeah, if you go far enough in one direction you'll reach the edge of the web

[lethal mural]

why ppl say its better to go in straight line as much as possible ?

[toxic echo]

you just get to the edge faster

[restive gorge]

does the lvl requirement for an item increase based on the sum of affix tiers?

[toxic echo]

which is generally where you want to be farming wise
