[toxic echo]

yes. total affix tiers

[lethal mural]

ok ty eagle

[faint cape]

farther out gets you more stability and better echo rewards on average

[toxic echo]

else you would be runnin around with t20 items at lvl 5

[lethal mural]

kk nice to know

[faint cape]

Doesn't apply to legendaries, so you can have T22 etc legendaries with no level req

[lean pewter]

What are the best ways to farm for gear if empowered mono is too difficult? Just running normal mono seems to not offer many gear improvements via drops. Every echo run feels the same with little to no reward.

[faint cape]

You might have a filter or strategy issue

[lean pewter]

I am using filters from maxroll.gg. Usually with capped resistances, around ~1.5-2k health+ward, several thousands of DPS.

[wicked plover]

what exactly is the bottleneck for you, do you die alot? cant kill fast enough that it feels good?

[lean pewter]

Dying against mono bosses and Orobyss and not enough clear speed.

[toxic echo]

the first jump into empowered monoliths can be a struggle...you are normally 15-20 levels below. can still grind a few levels out in 90's and get the max xp

[wicked plover]

do you have critical strike avoidance? if you play an armour class maybe also endurance?

[lean pewter]

Also hard hitting rare enemies might be a trouble sometimes too.

[wicked plover]

even if your defenses seem alright, most people forget about some sort of sustain outside of potions, do you have leech or smth else?

[lean pewter]

I do have it capped with one of the builds. Specifically shatter strike spellblade. With ward gain on hit.

[raw cradle]

so.. im an old guy trying to learn this. when it comes to crafting.. is there a good place to learn what to put on the gear and why? im not really sure how gearing and crafting works. what to choose and why

[wicked plover]

welcome to the game

[raw cradle]

ohh thanks 🙂

[wicked plover]

maybe put a cap a screen with your character sheet so we can help out

[near path]

a Spellblade should have active in-combat ward in the multiple thousands

like, 7-8k types

and even then it's still an active playstyle, like you can't sit there and facetank stuff

[wicked plover]

thats an extremel broad question, generally it depends on what skilsl you wanna use and how you wanna build your char
you want a solid mix of damage so you can kill stuff fast enough and a good defensive barrier

[near path]

defense sheet?

[near path]

I'd recommend getting Necro res up if you can, while it's not an insanely common damage type, the things that DO use it can hit pretty hard

[wicked plover]

do you have sustain utside of leech? since that helmet removes leech if im correct

[toxic echo]

general crafting advice can be found on youtube (aaron has a good crafting video, amoung others). as for specific build crafting...following guides (maxroll has good ones) is good if you are feeling a little lost, or unsure where to go next with your build

[lean pewter]

I don't, besides ward on hit

[near path]

try to get more armor and INT. Aim for 400-500% ward retention minimum, if you can

other than that just develop situational awareness. Don't stand in obvious attacks etc.

[wicked plover]

so if you are not actively hitting you are extremly vulnerable and your ward sustain cant keep up with dmg incoming
maybe switch out the helmet until you have that fixed

[near path]

gap close to dangerous ranged mobs asap

[raw cradle]

yeah i know.. but the thing is that im trying to understand the game.. not the class.. so there should be a general rule for how its build up and how one should go about building up the character as i like to play atleast 2 chars at the same time

[sinful laurel]

There isn't a general rule

One character can have a completely different set of defenses than another, outside of the base resistances

[restive gorge]

movement skill? can rebind it to something comfortable like space and keep it ready for escapes

[wicked plover]

i mean if you want to generalize
certain item slots can only have certain affixes on them
for example movement speed you can onl yhave on boots and so on
is that what you are asking for?

[raw cradle]

yes and no.. hehe.. i know its a bit vague.. but im thinking like "how do i know what affixes i should choose in that crafting window"

[restive gorge]

@raw cradle prefixes are damage scaling, suffixes utility, defense and resists?

your affixes depend entirely on your class

[lunar matrix]

I hoarded too many Idols and I'm running out of stash space, Is there any suggestions I could get on which mods I can probably safely get rid of without regretting it later for newer characters?

[restive gorge]

minions? spells? attacks? critical? damage over time?

[near path]

how do you expect an answer to that question in a game with literally a couple hundred builds

[wicked plover]

okay i see
best way to tell what you need is when you press C and open your character sheet

if you feel like you kill stuff fast enough, then work on your defenses, that will never hurt you

[raw cradle]

Anomander, i have no clue.. im just fishing for tips and trix on how to learn this game

[restive gorge]

the best way to learn the game would be to learn 1 build. find a guide, it will say what affixes scale it's damage, you'll figure out where you get those by playing and then for other builds you'll just need different affixes

[near path]

you've gotten the biggest tip - play the game. It really is that straightforward. Theorycrafting will get you nowhere without experimentation

the in-game guide is one of the best resources there is

and even if you fuck up, respeccing is easy

[wicked plover]

biggest advice actually we can give
press G ingame
press ctrl+alt and hover over items

you will learn 95% of the game that way

[restive gorge]

you need to pick a class and play with it at least to level 80 @raw cradle

[near path]

it is the most friendly environment for experimentation and testing of any ARPG out there

[restive gorge]

that should be enough to figure out what you wanna

[cedar locust]

My Quick Tips copy/paste -

You don't need to keep everything, gear and gold come fast as you progress - do keep any gear you see a modifier on that you want though, there's a way to break down gear for upgrade shards!

Speaking of shards, runes and glyphs - just above your inventory you'll see a 'Transfer Crafting Materials' button, this moves all those items into their own storage to free up inventory space!

Also if you see loot without a name tag that you can't pick up, try 'Z' or 'Alt+Z'!

Other than that - just enjoy! Respeccing a character is super easy and you can get lots of great advice here on what to try out!

[raw cradle]

ok.. sounds good.. another, maybe stupid question. what class would you recommend to start with

[cedar locust]

Rogue

#BDSuperiority!!

[toxic echo]

LIES

[near path]

Forge Guard (please don't)

[toxic echo]

sentinel is the easiest class to start with...the defenses are easier to come by

[wicked plover]

the one that looks cool to you thematically

[near path]

this is absolutely false

there is no class in the game with easier access to defenses than Primalist

you get defense just for levelling lmfao

[toxic echo]

but as long as you read, you should be fine, any class you take

[restive gorge]

that is absolute blasphemy, falconer is the best class

[raw cradle]

lol.. didnt mean to start a war

[restive gorge]

we're joking

all classes are bad

[near path]

honestly start whatever you feel like starting

[raw cradle]

i know

[restive gorge]

it doesn't matter what you choose

[raw cradle]

hahah

[restive gorge]

😉

[raw cradle]

im thinking a pala or necro

[cedar locust]

It's all in good humor 😁

[raw cradle]

what would you guys recommend to start with? pala or necro?

[restive gorge]

yes

[toxic echo]

pala if you want active playstyle, necro if you want to watch your minions play the game for you

[restive gorge]

lich if you want even more active playstyle

[raw cradle]

well.. as im new.. i dont wanna die (too much).. i rather play and try to understand.. if that makes sense

[onyx briar]

Hey man, casting dread shade every now and then is very intense

[restive gorge]

dying is fine

[toxic echo]

no xp loss here.

[near path]

as long as you don't stand in obviously telegraphed attacks like you won't die

[raw cradle]

ill try to remember that.. thanks guys for all the info

btw.. how do u get keys for dungeons

[faint cape]

They drop from rare monsters and bosses, but you won't find them until after you are in higher level areas than where the dungeon exists in campaign

[raw cradle]

i had one.. went for a run and, died ofc, and the key is gone

[faint cape]

no worries, you'll get plenty eventually

[raw cradle]

is it possible to get "boosted".. if i have a key and want help with the boss

[wicked plover]

keys arent that rare, dont stress about it

just try again when you feel strong and confident enough

[desert pebble]

do level of skills have a cap

[toxic echo]

20 base

[desert pebble]

tied to your character level

[toxic echo]

and then a bunch more from gear and affixes

[desert pebble]

yeah i know, I mean it stays at 15 lvl until you hit x level

kind of a thing

[toxic echo]

yes tied to your level

you hit 20 at like, 75 or something

[desert pebble]

okay thanks mate

[dawn orbit]

is there any reason to keep items i dont need for later or can i sell everything to vendor?

[toxic echo]

keep uniques with lp or exalts with good rolls/bases. other than that...dont even pick up tbh. vendoring doesnt give ya that much gold

[quartz blaze]

donate them to the floor

a good last epoch experience requires charitable donations to the floor

[dawn orbit]

and whats is lp?

so most of gold comes with picking up gold directly?

[toxic echo]

lp is legendary potential. can read about it in the game guide. yes most gold comes from picking it up directly from kills or echo rewards

[faint cape]

Yes

[quartz blaze]

yes dont pick up items with intent to sell. you actually lose money this way bc of the time spent

[dawn orbit]

Thanks.

Is there any recommanded beginer filter, i already have in the first area many drops and most of them i dont need. but i dont want to turn off all white items because i think when i progress in the game i find maybe a good white item with better damage or armor as my current blue ones.

i saw in the filter option there is a thing with ilvl of the item max from my char lvl is. Is this ilvl refered to the Arealvl the monster droped it or to the base type of the item?

[wicked plover]

if you dont start filtering out SOME stuff you gonna get drowned at some point very early on
if you got blue/yellow gear you can easily filter out white and blue items
its not a big loss and will be easier on the eyes/gameflow wise

not quite sure what you mean with the second question
with higher lvl(area lvl) you will drop higher ilvl bases that have stronger base stats

[dawn orbit]

so even i would find a good base in a worser color its still better to filter them out?

[wicked plover]

you can pickup every base and try to craft on it, but you dont need to replace your gear every 5 lvls
if you got smth that works with your build/skills you are fine for a good while in campaign

its just a matter of time investment, if you want to pick through all loot you can do so

[dawn orbit]

Thanks. With my seconds question i meant this

what does the ilvl in this game mean

[wicked plover]

if you go into the filter and choose item type, for example helmet, you can choose a subtype there
it will show you all itemlvls/bases of helmets

as an example

[toxic echo]

item level. so you are basically telling the game to show every low level item in the game...which isnt super helpful

[wicked plover]

i never used itemlvl in any filter, you can have good exalted stats on bad bases for legendary crafting

i just simply wouldnt use it

you can filter for other stuff thats more important

[dawn orbit]

no its show 5 lvl below me and higher but i wanted to understand what ilvl in this game means. In Diablo 2 its the lvl the monster dropped it. so for example the same base can be ilvl10 or lvl80 depends on which monster dropsed it

it is here the same or does it mean the base type or the lvl req?

[wicked plover]

itemlvl is tied to the item
a lvl 5 monster cant drop a lvl 75 base

so you cant drop a itemlvl 5 base as lvl 100 version, it would be a different item

there is no itemlvl scaling

[dawn orbit]

ok so the ilvl in this game is the sam elike the qlvl in D2 i gues

a lvl 75 base does it mean its lvl reqiuemt is lvl 75 or can be the lvl req of a lvl 75 base higher or lower than 75?

or is ilvl = lvl req

[wicked plover]

yes

[minor sable]

Where can i see how much damage i deal? Also i wonder when i use skills as default attack, is my weapon's melee damage added to that? Playing as bladedancer and cant figure out do the weapons I'm using have any effect?

[wicked plover]

hover over the skill you are using, it wil show you it's dps

and your weapon damage should apply to the default attack as well

[buoyant sinew]

also if you go to champion's gate in chapter 7 there are target dummies you can test damage numbers out on

[vapid monolith]

Hello guys, at what lvl can i get the Dungeon keys and where do i get them? I'm at lvl 38

[buoyant sinew]

they're random drops from anything, they can already drop for you at that level but are rare

much much more common in the endgame

you're not expected to be able to do them when you find the dungeon unless you already have keys from a previous character (they're also probably too hard to complete at that point)

[lethal mural]

with the void knight jsut to make sure is an ehco the 2nd or even third purple spin blade that spawn wit warpath ?

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you spec warpath to make echoes, they are purple spinning copies of you that stay in place

[lethal mural]

i jsut foudn an idol that will give me 30% incresed melee damage for 4 second on spawn

so if you echo enough its like semi permanant ?

the 30% doesnt say it has a cooldown so i think so thats nice

[toxic echo]

yeah once you get all the echo chance stuff, you can get tons of echoes esp on warpath.

[wide sentinel]

nice but not the best idols for wp

[lethal mural]

still leveling

ill try to get the right ones later

[vapid monolith]

@buoyant sinew thank you!

[distant sequoia]

is there some issues with servers today? I just had a rollback while organizing my stash

[lethal mural]

i guess that is an upgrade even tho i lose 30% atk speed fom the axe bonus

i hope ill get an axe as good

[nimble spruce]

Just picked this up, is it worth waiting for 1.0 before starting to play? Or when 1.0 releases will the game just continue to roll? IE not getting wiped?

[lethal mural]

is it expensive to respect a point at level 100 in passive ?

[near path]

#1161416976321744896

[near path]

not at all, it's pennies

[lethal mural]

kk , then my thig is an upgrade, ill repect the axr bnus for the mass for now

[near path]

30% attack speed is a LOT to lose

especially on already slower 2handers

[lethal mural]

ill keep both wpn and test as ill get way mroe dmangage and tankyness tho

with the mace

ill test

[wide sentinel]

you never want to craft leech or %melee damage on your weapon both are awful affixes

best affixes on weapons are melee speed, flat melee damage, flat melee crit chance and in rare cases crit multiplier

u do not want anything else besides these 4 prefixes on a melee build

[lethal mural]

i rarely see those tho

i take note

speed yes

[wide sentinel]

put them on loot fliter and shatter all items that drop with those

they are all very common affixes

so easy to get

[lethal mural]

the thing is mee flat dmaage if you have 200% insted of 100% the flat doesnt add up well if you add the percent how i calculate wrong

the crit multipliyer is good i heard

[vital coral]

If I am using a skill that does physical base damage but I have a weapon that adds base cold and base fire damage, how is this calculated in the damage with regards to the increase/more modifiers that I am applying to the skill?

[wide sentinel]

u get a lot of increased damage just from your strength and skill buffs/passive trees+rings/amulet/relic/body affixes

and idols

so u have increases everywhere already no point putting it on weapon too

[lethal mural]

i also have a lot of attack speed booster on my skills

[toxic echo]

flat is pretty rare to find...thats why you want it on the weapon

[lethal mural]

i feel like attack speed is ok to have but not all that on gear

[wide sentinel]

yes but just to compare my wp build has over 800% inc damage while only 150% speed

speed is almost always the best

[lethal mural]

thanks ill take note and test on some wpn i find

i bought the game to learn, before 1.0

this discord has been the most helpful ive seen, and fast answer

not sure whats going on , it says respeccing passives even if i quit the game i cant cancel it sor some reason

[vital coral]

If I am using a skill that does physical base damage but I have a weapon that adds base cold and base fire damage, how is this calculated in the damage formula with regards to the increase/more modifiers that I am applying to the skill? Are they added to the flat base in the formula?

[sleek matrix]

guys Last epoch works fine for me in offline mode but in online as soon as I choose a character it crashes to desktop, how can I play online?

[buoyant sinew]

each percentage modifier will apply to all the added damage too if applicable. so if it's a melee skill then melee damage increases will apply to all of that flat damage, but obviously increased cold damage would only apply to the added cold portion and so on

[toxic echo]

verify files is the easiest step. can also try selecting other servers, even if the ping is worse, it might be more stable. third option is trying a vpn, there have been plenty of issues with ISP's and stuff that seem to get fixed with vpns

[sleek matrix]

Ok I will try with vpn and let you know

[toxic echo]

ah yes, the hardest step. lol

[sinful laurel]

Just flew right over it

[toxic echo]

🤷‍♂️ if it works it works

[sleek matrix]

I tried with vpn it worked, it seems the crash is related to a region/ip block I wonder why tho.

[sinful laurel]

You could try verifying integrity of your steam game files

Might help

[toxic echo]

🤷‍♂️ as long as it works. lots of issues with routing stuff, esp in EU apparently, from what I've heard. but, its at least a workaround for ya

[sleek matrix]

I just downloaded the game I didn't even restart my pc yet, it crashed without vpn on online mode and works fine with vpn, and it's not only me but also my friend.

ah okay

I was just hoping it's not the kind of bullshit Region Block

[vital coral]

Thanks!

[lavish turtle]

Anyone else having lots of strange lags in EU West?

[toxic echo]

plenty of people have on EUW. can try 1. verifying files 2. play on NA east(even if ping is worse, might be more stable) or 3. trying a vpn. normally 1 of these three will help the issue

if not, support is the next place to go

[lavish turtle]

thank you!!

[grand copper]

how to get back to isle of stroms, i frogot to take the waypoint before logging off

which area was before that ?

[buoyant sinew]

Thetima and the transition is by the ship you took the first time

[grand copper]

thank you!

[safe sky]

Silly question, but if i am using Earthquake, which has the melee and physical tag, and i use an axe with +melee lightning flat damage, will this add the exact same as an equal +melee physical damage because they are both melee?

[buoyant sinew]

before any percentage modifiers, yes. but it will probably be worse than physical damage in practice because you can't scale them both with all the same modifiers

[safe sky]

Right so outside of +increased damage bonuses it should be the same. Ok Thanks!

[dusky kite]

It does not need to be a block, it might just be a problem with your ISP or with some backbone ISP between you and the server, which the VPN circumvents by routing thorugh different nodes

There are a ton of places where the internet can break down and the developers can't do shit about it

[sleek matrix]

I really want to hope so otherwise I will be sad.
Some people in my country don't like to play with VPNs and by the way the EU server had 50~60ms for us so I really doubt it but oh well.

[lethal mural]

@wide sentinel would you put flat melee void dmg over % increased damage if my my ability is melee void ?

i have this id like to try something fast and the 30% of the axe i poke earlier applies to swords too

[dusky cosmos]

why cant you see the spell lightning damage under "c" in your stats?

There should be much more stats under c ngl. you cant even see your flat spell damage / meele damage for example

[dusky kite]

you can't see it because it's not implemented

4head

[wide sentinel]

next question would be why my tooltip shows 200k but i hit mobs for 20

[dusky cosmos]

I dont know, stats should be a thing in the game.

thats why PoB is around, because the game doesnt provide these kind of informations what is sad. ^^

[near path]

If you're familiar with POB, you know enough to understand how massively conditional damage and stats are and that it's impossible to create an accurate character sheet

[wide sentinel]

i dont think devs wanted to have an exel table when u press C

since u have 7 damage types, flat dmg and increases then 5 playstyles(melee/spel;/throwing/minion/bow) and crit/dot on top of it

idk how u see all of that fitting in, and tbh even if it was in it would turn off more players than attract imo

[dusky cosmos]

Yea but why not provide any kidn of stats you are getting from your items on the tab " other "

[wide sentinel]

other is for ailments now and niche stats

[oblique dome]

Anyone know if there is a way to download a loot filter like from maxroll onto the steam deck? Been trying to figure it out but I can’t lol

[icy drift]

put it into a pastebin and then manually put in the link to your steamdeck?

idk if there's a browser on the steamdeck

[dusky cosmos]

So Mike told me that there will be more Stats under the char details soon. Not with 1.0 but in the near future. 🙂

[icy drift]

lol don't get your hopes up

that "near future" might be like a year away if not longer

we're talking about the legendary character sheet rework

[dusky cosmos]

Its the near future because he thought stats like "flat spell damage" would be in it rn ^^

[icy drift]

it's been a thing for over a year already

[oblique dome]

Yeah I have google chrome on it. I copied it but apparently I don’t have a clipboard on steamdeck.

[icy drift]

yeah i'm saying put it in a pastebin and manually enter the link into your steamdeck

[muted geyser]

Hello all, I started playing the game yesterday and in chat people are talking about the game releases Feb 21st. Which I didn't know when I bought it that it was in the beta. Will my current online character be wiped when the game releases or will I have still be able to level this one?

[icy drift]

#1187326924754788362 message

[muted geyser]

Ah. Ty

[edgy sphinx]

I would definitely not be playing rn if there was a wipe incoming.

[icy drift]

Oh you're saying that you can't copy the pastebin into your clipboard? i've never used the filter file thing so idk how that works

[grim violet]

is there a bug with minion count on the necro? i had specced into +1 on skeletons, but specced out for different skills, but I can still use 4 on regular and 3 on mages. Nothing on my gear either

[toxic echo]

summon skeleton and summon skeleton mages are totally different skills. base skeletons are 3, so if you have +1 to that, would have the 4.

there are other ways to get more skeletons and skeleton mages, mostly passive tree and skill tree stuff

but from what you said, think its right

[grim violet]

that's what's throwing me for a loop, i can't find a +1 anywhere for either, and im not specc'd for it.

[toxic echo]

passives, gear?

[icy drift]

they'll prob go away when you zone

[toxic echo]

also true

[icy drift]

it's just snapshot most likely

[grim violet]

oh, im an idiot, it's the passive from taking necromancer

[toxic echo]

🤷‍♂️ it happens

[grim violet]

what threw me off was skeletal mage says limited to 2 at a time, but necromancer mastery gives you +1 skeletal mage, which as far as I know you can't get skeletal mage without taking necromancy

[oblique dome]

I’ll try that thanks

[buoyant sinew]

you can, you can still take the first half of the tree for masteries you didn't pick (which means you can unlock the first two skills)

[grim violet]

huh, I did not know that, now i gotta reevaluate....

[buoyant sinew]

look at lich if you're a necro, it will have a big chain down the middle showing where you can get up to

[grim violet]

man, i must have missed something very obvious, thank you so much

[surreal stone]

I was wondering, there still aren't news about the ranger subclass that has a bird, right?

[sinful laurel]

Passive tree leaked

[surreal stone]

where can I see it?

rest of the information is coming in exactly a week

[late mountain]

Can someone explain what corruption is and how do I increase corruption?

[toxic echo]

corruption makes the monolith harder by scaling hp and dmg. you increase it by killing orobyss in the monolith web. there are really good sections on each on the ingame guide

[near path]

press G in game

search for Corruption

[late mountain]

Thank you!

[late mountain]

Thank you!

[pale jolt]

quick question, i bought the eternal legend supporter pack in the shop, do i also get the forum badge thing for it?

[sour wind]

What corruption level should I be looking as being viable for a build guide?

[sour wind]

I bought it on steam, but don’t see it on my profile, but I’ve seen other comments with it

[pale jolt]

yeah same, just bought it on steam and i don't seem to have it

[toxic echo]

it might just take some time to update

[sour wind]

They got our info if it isn’t currently working, I don’t use the forum to comment so w/e

[pale jolt]

actually no i bought it through the shop, not steam itself

[buoyant sinew]

300 is good enough for farming, a lot of people prefer 500 or 800 (though 800 is pushing into "your build needs to be insane" territory)

[toxic echo]

200 is barefloor minimum(it unlocks the last items and blessing slot). 300 is fairly average

[buoyant sinew]

if a build can't do 200 it doesn't deserve to be called a build 😆

[sour wind]

Ty, I was seeing some “struggles after 150” build guides on lastepochtools and thought it seemed wrong

[toxic echo]

ive done acid flask at 200 and people shit on the skill (rightfully so)

[buoyant sinew]

yeah exactly, I've dragged the most random bullshit to 200

[toxic echo]

lastepochtools is great for quantity of builds and ideas...but not always quality

[buoyant sinew]

it's really around the 200 mark that weak builds start to show problems in my experience

[pale jolt]

you just kill the shade to increase corruption right?

[buoyant sinew]

kill the timeline boss as well to make the shade give more corruption

[pale jolt]

so its just running the same monolith over and over again

[toxic echo]

in empowered, yeah

welcome to arpg's

[pale jolt]

awesome, thanks

[buoyant sinew]

there is a catchup mechanic

[pale jolt]

yeah i gathered that, just didn't know if the corruption would carry on to a different monolith

[buoyant sinew]

if you get monolith A corruption really high and then go to monolith B shades in B will give you insane amounts of corruption until you get close to the corruption you have in A

[pale jolt]

that answers that, thank you very much

what exactly changes in higher corruption

i thouhgt the base 100 was good enough for item drops, lol

[buoyant sinew]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057/13

full outline

after 1.0 corruption will also give a higher chance for LP on unique items

[pale jolt]

sick, thanks

[jaunty sonnet]

Hello, i've done the sanctum and forged a legendary, but i forgott to loot it in the different phase - i'm out of the dungeon, now its gone right? x)

[toxic echo]

oh yeah. once you leave the instance it gone

[pastel pebble]

No no

Its there

You just gotta run it again

[lethal mural]

when you die on open portal you still gain reward ? monolith

[toxic echo]

as long as you killed the objective before you died

[lethal mural]

kk good to know

[toxic echo]

boss fights not so much..since they require you to interact with the blessing thing after

[tranquil pike]

Hey so I'm just getting back into last epoch again, mostly waiting for launch and theory crafting but i've got a few questions. My character was made before multiplayer and obviously before launch. Will I have access to the same stash as characters I make post launch? Will I be able to play with my friends using that old character? If no, its not a huge deal. I just really like that spec and would rather not level it up again if possible. Also will cycles / seasons effect my ability to play characters with friends?

[viral kettle]

so, did i really died of this or its only bcs it was its last tick that killed me? 😛

[toxic echo]

depending on when it was made, it might have been wiped before MP.

all stashes are shared with those from similar character types (hc/sc and SSF, SAF, normal and cycle legacy)

if that old toon still exsits, it will be in legacy and be able to play with other legacy toons, no matter when they were made

cycle toons can only play with cycle, legacy only with legacy

[toxic echo]

think its bugged to where no matter what you die from, it blames calamity

[tranquil pike]

Wonderful, thank you

[ancient pasture]

are they addressing the fact that you (or your minions) can push mobs (including bosses) around by walking into them?

[faint cape]

Yeah, allegedly it's fixed for 1.0

[ancient pasture]

cool, ty for answering!

[wide phoenix]

Hey guys, quick question, is there going to be a season/league something upon release?

[buoyant sinew]

there is (called a cycle in LE). no exclusive content though, all new content will be available in legacy as well. just a reset

[wide phoenix]

thank you

[slow nimbus]

Is it worth to start the game now, or wait til release and the cycle(?) ladder starts?

[wide phoenix]

as it says in the faq section, no legacy stuff will be eligible for ladder

so it is worth only to I dunno know the ropes, if you choose to compete in the ladder

[royal hinge]

I noticed you said before Multiplayer was brought out, so I'm not 100% sure if you could create offline or online characters then.

Offline Stash and Online Stash are separate.

[buoyant sinew]

the reasons to wait would be if you want to play in the cycle as opposed to legacy, or you wanted to play one of the new classes (warlock or falconer) when they come out and don't want to level another character that soon

[slow nimbus]

Is it like POE/Diablo seasons where new content will only be avaialble in the cycle?

[buoyant sinew]

no, at least not for now. new content will be in both

[desert pebble]

My swipe werebear is insanely tanky but it has single target dps issues guys, in the guide i looked from maxroll in its cons it had low single target lmao but can i really improve it?

anybody played the build before?

[tranquil pike]

Okay interesting. Like I said its not the end of the world if I have to remake him. But if I remade him now I would be able to play him in online multiplayer and use online stash with post launch characters, correct?

[toxic echo]

if maxroll says its got low single target...its gonna be low signle target. unless you wanna go way off their build.

[toxic echo]

long as they are all online legacy toons, yes

[tranquil pike]

Fantastic

[near path]

Swipe does not have good single target and never will

Can transition it to EQ Werebear, initially life then later low life

Needs Bhuldar's Wrath to work

[pastel pebble]

I heard Bhuldar's is behind some gates or somethin'

[maiden thistle]

Need buildcrafting help. Elemental Nova has a node called Freezing Cascade that says "Elemental Nova casts Freezing Cascade on hit,...". Do +damage and +area modifiers to Elemental Nova apply to Freezing Cascade too?

[sinful laurel]

yes, as long as they are not other element specific

[maiden thistle]

Excellent. Thank you.

[quick ruin]

Has anyone had luck with any particular server for reducing disconnects?

[sinful laurel]

EU tends to be among the worst offenders from what i ahve seen

US central had issues on 0.9 release too

[edgy sphinx]

I love being on the US west coast.

[sinful laurel]

ditto, never any problems

fucking plebs in other parts of the world

suckers

[edgy sphinx]

Unrelated, what's the practical difference between something like spell cold damage, regular cold dmg, and melee cold damage, for example?

[quick ruin]

I'm east coast US, and that one disconnects for me left and right.

[sinful laurel]

have you tried not using your optimal?

people have had success using the next one down

sometimes even has better ping

[quick ruin]

I've tried US East, West, Central, and EU West

[faint cape]

Spell applies only to spells, melee applies only to melee, and the one with no extra condition applies to all cold

[buoyant sinew]

just what damage they apply to. For a spell, 20% increased cold spell damage is exactly the same as 20% increased cold damage. For a melee attack, the spell damage does nothing. Etc

[sinful laurel]

that sounds like it may actually be client side then

have you tried a vpn?

[quick ruin]

What is the reason a VPN would be needed?

[sinful laurel]

if for some reason your ISP is limiting you, or you have a local IP issue of some kind

a VPN will tell you

unless the problem is physical ofc

[edgy sphinx]

All right, then the question I would pose is why make any distinction between melee and spell damage, if regular "cold/fire/void/etc damage applies the same to them all? Unless I grossly misunderstood something. It seems oddly redundant.

[sinful laurel]

as in your physical internet connection is shit and you are dropping connection somewhere from the main line to your computer

[quick ruin]

If that was the case, I'd suppose that I would be seeing issues in other applications.

[sinful laurel]

it depends, not necessarily

very few things that arent streaming or online gaming require constant internet connection

small interruptions or packet loss can be accommodated

[quick ruin]

There are also ways to detect packet loss.

[buoyant sinew]

I'm not sure I understand the question. There are lots of spell/melee/throwing specific modifiers as well. Like the flat melee damage on your sword doesn't do anything to spells

[surreal verge]

The more specific an affix is, the higher its number

[surreal verge]

Well did you figure out it yet then?

[edgy sphinx]

I guess that kind of makes sense. Still strikes me as somewhat bloated though.

[surreal verge]

Also, spell cold and melee cold normally comes as FLAT increases, rather than the usual % increases

And in the case of flat increases, they are normally worth more, and are applied to all listed skill types, ignoring the damage type of the skill

(But still scales off it’s own damage type)

[edgy sphinx]

I see. I remember coming across this when trying to make a lightning werebear a while back, and finding 2 different ways to apply damage was confusing to me.

[native sail]

Where's Dread when you need him

[buoyant sinew]

at the end of the day it is variety for variety's sake, so that you don't build a lightning mage the same as a sword and shield melee

And everyone has a different amount of enforced variety they prefer

you can go all the way from Slormancer where damage is damage and all scales the same, to PoE where attacks and spells use completely different mechanics

[sinful laurel]

I guess he's another that wanted to complain but not take any steps to troubleshoot or diagnose?

[royal hinge]

All the unique affixes provide lots of fun ways to min/Max builds. My favourite deep dive was with my Mana Strike Runemaster. My goal was to make a viable melee/spell hybrid. Anywhere I had the option for Elemental damage, I took it because absolutely everything I used scaled with it, and between items and passive, there was plenty of flat damage to go around and nothing ever felt wasted. Finding a good balance was important because spell was bursty and melee DPS focused, but clearing empowered Monos was still pretty smooth.

[ancient pasture]

Does the Bow Mastery passive proc when used, or when you hit a target?

[near path]

you mean the Marksman signature passive? procs on bow skill use

don't need to hit anything

[ancient pasture]

yes, that one -- just wondered if it required an actual hit because of some stuff I found on a google search

From a march post on the forums I assume

[near path]

I can tell you with 100% confidence you don't need to hit to proc it

you can test it in the town zone between echoes

where you get the reward chest and stuff

just fire a bow skill into the void, if the cooldown is up it will proc

[ancient pasture]

gotchu

thanks homie

[light pilot]

what's generally more DPS. Fireball or elemental nova sorc?

[grim violet]

what's generally considered an average high dps number? like in d4 once you hit the hundred thousands or millions you were cooking, but i noticed last epoch doesn't seem to bloat in numbers (which i like) but im not sure what numbers on damage i can be like yeah, now we're doing some good dps

[wide sentinel]

on the high end content i dont see any build successfuly scaling both spell and melee damage at the same time, but you can play a lot of melee builds that are spell oriented

[lethal mural]

what do i need to do to unlock the empowered timelines , i beat the 3 level 90 bosses ?

[sinful laurel]

Go to the island in the middle with the blue gem thing

[lethal mural]

im in the midle where it seems to have a blue gem but im not sure what to do

[wide sentinel]

come to it and click

[sinful laurel]

If it doesn't work, relog

[lethal mural]

ill relog

[sinful laurel]

Sometimes it just doesn't for some reason

[lethal mural]

kk worked ty

[ancient pasture]

are drop rates 1:1 right now for how they will be on release?

[sinful laurel]

No

[ancient pasture]

Is there anything out there video or otherwise that indicates how this is changing?

[sinful laurel]

Overall rates will be lower, with CoF players ending up with a slightly higher rate than exists right now

[lethal mural]

what should i do first, not sure if i should get all the empowered blessing for my build or push corruption

[sinful laurel]

blessings are always good

you will push corr naturally as you do

[lethal mural]

someone said the corruption has a catch up mechanic and maybe i should farm 1 monollith like crazy, but its nto clear if i should do blessing firdt, i guess il see

[sinful laurel]

I mean depending on how lucky (read: unlucky) you are, you'll be on a monolith for a while getting the blessing you need

Might as well raise corr if you can handle it

[lethal mural]

kk ill check it out

thanks for the help

wondering if you have the required stablity can you farm boss all the time or you lose stability when you kill or die

[near path]

You can farm a max of 2x the stability needed to kill a boss, so you can do 2 boss kills back to back

If you die in the attempt you lose a bit of stability

[lethal mural]

kk ty

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

first blessing im gonna farm

[near path]

Tfw when it takes 8 kills to get the blessing you want and then it's the most dogshit roll

https://tenor.com/view/vietnam-flashback-traumatized-cat-gif-7852054576948114551

Thank fuck the system is being changed

[random sun]

can gears made via ascendance rune have LP?

[native sail]

Yes but at lower rates

[random sun]

sweet ty

[hardy spoke]

question: if I am trade guild and my friend fortune, we are both doing monos together, an item drops, can we trade between ourselves?

[surreal verge]

Yes, but the faction requirements to equip them stay (This is what the gifting function is for)

[hardy spoke]

so to confirm: IF was me who drop it and I am merchant it tags as merchant, but I can trade with the fortune player playing with me?

scratch that

[desert tree]

It get the MG tag when its traded through MG

[hardy spoke]

I am crazy, you answered, I can gift it, but he must swap to merchant to be able to use it

[fierce ibex]

pretty sure thats only after it gets the tag

[desert tree]

So you can gift it and it wont have the MG tag and therefore no MG requirement

[undone otter]

Correct

[desert tree]

If a CoF drop smth than it might have a CoF requirement

[hardy spoke]

but then IF he trades with me I won't be able to use it unless I swap to fortune

[undone otter]

Of note Trade and gifting are different - you can also trade an item to another player for gold, skipping the Bazaar, but this tags the item as MG

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[undone otter]

Gifting works as described above though

[undone otter]

Yes CoF items drop tagged

[surreal verge]

Wait he said trade instead of gift

[desert tree]

Trade =/= Gifting

[undone otter]

Correct but items for CoF drop already tagged

[hardy spoke]

I know, and that was my bad, I should have clarified. It was gifted not traded

[undone otter]

Gifting doesn't strip the tag

It just doesn't add one

[hardy spoke]

but in this case a CoF player will be able to use anything that drops playing in a party, but not the CoM player

[desert tree]

CoM ?

[undone otter]

Typo

[desert tree]

xD

[hardy spoke]

I don't know the acronym for merchants

[desert tree]

MG

Merchant Guild

[hardy spoke]

haha I thought it was Circle of Merchants

[undone otter]

Lol

[hardy spoke]

anyhow, in this case a CoF player has an advantage, cool

[undone otter]

Explain?

I'm not fully following your question

[desert tree]

Since the MG player drop wont have the tag they can give whatever the CoF player need

[hardy spoke]

well, the CoF player can use anything that drops from both player IF the item dropped while playing together, and even maybe through resonances since the item has no tag. The MG player cannot, since anything drop by the CoF is tag, and therefore "useless" to the MG player

[desert tree]

The opposite might not be true since CoF will drop stuff CoF tagged

[hardy spoke]

when I watched a video a few days ago I thought TAGs were implemented directly to any item at the moment of picking them up or even before, and that tag was directly related to what you are playing at the moment, so either MG or CoF

[wide sentinel]

i dont think thats true, if you are playing with cof player the items they drop are untradable but if they dropped without cof tag u can still gift them even if they are untradable

[hardy spoke]

not trade, gifted

[wide sentinel]

yep

[hardy spoke]

big different and I clarified my mistake

[magic stream]

started my first rogue alt few minutes ago. flurry + bow = most shots missing. Makes me want to drop this alt, it's so disappoinitng. Is this a known bug?

[hardy spoke]

because now I can make a MG toon, and use absolutely everything that drops since there is not tag for MG, so if I swap to CoF I can use the items that drop before and after that

and sorry for being annoying, I just work with QA 😅

[wide sentinel]

its a bug but you can counter this bug by abusing another bug on flurry and making it into channeling skill with multishot procs

[magic stream]

thanks

[native sail]

Not all according to Mike and Karv, but all of them are untradeable. If this is conflicting yall might wanna talk to each other about it cuz information on this topic keeps getting muddled between different folks at EHG.

[hardy spoke]

I assume that all items dropped tag and that tag is connect to the player's current guild. Because if items get tags in different times and or triggers, there is room for shenanigans

so I assume that I can gift items to a friend, while playing together or through resonances, and then when he/she swaps guild, then and only then the item would be able to be used

[native sail]

Items MG drop are untagged. They get tagged upon being sold (i.e. if you get gold for an item that item gets MG tagged). According to Mike and Karv CoF drops that get buffed by CoF perks get CoF tagged but not all items get that. However, all items that CoF drops are tagged with a "non-tradeable" tag regardless of being affected by buffs.

[hardy spoke]

so my idea was actually play MG and a friend plays CoF, we play together and we gift stuff to each other, now when either of us swap guilds we are geared enough to play the game

[hardy spoke]

that is NOT a good idea, because what I mentioned.

[native sail]

Because of what?

[hardy spoke]

the tag should be MG or CoF, period, then when you trade the item, a new tag TRADED would be added

[native sail]

Nope

The MG tag prevents you from trading an item again

That is the purpose of it

And it locks it to MG players only

[hardy spoke]

nope, you can still gift the item using resonances

[native sail]

That's not trading

That's gifting

[wide sentinel]

personally i dont see any point going cof unless you absolutely despise trade in any form, youll only limit yourself

[native sail]

Trading explicitly means "spending favor and gold to transfer an item between players"

And CoF players can't wear MG items. And you can't just swap and put it on, you need to meet the rank requirement of the item to wear it.

[hardy spoke]

well, but they can use a item dropped by a MG player, can they not?

[native sail]

Sure. Because that's not an MG item yet.

[acoustic thicket]

I just got to monoliths, do I need to finish it in one sitting or can I logout in that safe room between echoes and not lose progress?

[native sail]

Feel free to log

[sharp current]

You can log

[hardy spoke]

but a MG player cannot use an item dropped by a CoF player, can they?

that is the difference

[acoustic thicket]

Ok great, I wanted to play but didn’t have the time to spend a few hours

[native sail]

Not if it's tagged with COF

[acoustic thicket]

Thx

[native sail]

If it isn't tagged they can

[hardy spoke]

correct, and I thought the items dropped by a CoF gets their tag at the point

[native sail]

And like I said, according to two devs who made full write ups on it, not every item CoF drops is CoF tagged. Just not tradeable.

[wide sentinel]

yep

[hardy spoke]

that makes it even worse hahaha

[native sail]

I'm not sure what you're understanding or misunderstanding here

[hardy spoke]

well, we will see. I gave my 2 cents and muffin hasn't replied since I asnwered him

[native sail]

CoF players. Cannot trade.

[hardy spoke]

so they will figured out

I am not talking about trade per se, my main point was the benefits of plays together with a friend and its relation to the guilds and items

[native sail]

The system isn't really intended to be for MG/CoF cross partying

[hardy spoke]

as mentioned, my idea was one would be CoD and the other MG, but that mainly benefits one player only

[sharp current]

Trying to get the best of both worlds basically

Is what I'm getting

[wide sentinel]

you are forgetting that MG has even greater benefit than cof player in the party

...they can trade

[hardy spoke]

by party is a MAIN thing, isn't it?

[native sail]

Partying is yes. Partying between factions has basically no benefit.

[hardy spoke]

that is the thing, it is NOT trade, and that leaves room for a lot of things

[wide sentinel]

i meant trading on the market not between each other

[native sail]

I'm backing out of this, you are lacking comprehension now

[hardy spoke]

well me too tbh

[sharp current]

Yeah I'm not sure what the goal is. It looks to me like they're just trying to get the benefits of both without the downside but it seems it'd be more beneficial just to play the same faction together if the idea is to help each other get geared.

[hardy spoke]

my main concern, or better say, observation is that 2 people playing together (as normal friends do) with different guilds mainly benefits one person

[wide sentinel]

if we are speaking about benefits its not benefitial to go CoF in the first place compared to mg

[hardy spoke]

and that I think it is unfair

[hot carbon]

Why would friends play together? It’s far more advantageous to game the stock market instead

[wide sentinel]

you cant play market in this game

[sharp current]

^

[hot carbon]

I’m shitposting

[hardy spoke]

I won't engage in this hahaha

[sharp current]

You buy an item, its your's forever.

[native sail]

She meant the literal stock market. She's shitposting.

[hot carbon]

This is a stupid conversation

[hardy spoke]

perfect 2 cents

https://tenor.com/view/doge-dog-such-wow-doggy-wow-gif-15659616

well, I got work

have a good one folks

[hot carbon]

Have a good day at work

It’s just not advantageous to be “trading” (gifting between factions) or swapping back and forth yourself. There’s no reason to.

It doesn’t help you in really any way.

[native sail]

Swapping is designed to basically be a one time thing for a reason

[severe fjord]

Would it make sense to play trading faction to just buy starter gear and then swap to MF?

[native sail]

That won't work

You can't wear MG gear as CoF and gear you buy gets tagged as MG

[severe fjord]

aaaa ok

[sharp current]

Items have rank requirements

[hot carbon]

Starter gear is super easy to get throughout the campaign anyways, unless you’re going for something very specific.

/ reliant on a rare unique.

[native sail]

Just keep a set of gear you drop as MG, don't list it or anything, that will be wearable as CoF

[severe fjord]

Ok cool thanks, I am very much torn between what faction to pick

I am definitly starting fresh

[native sail]

I'm pretty set already. I'll be CoF, swap to MG if I get bored.

[severe fjord]

Can't be ask to sort out 2 years of hording in my stash tabs 💀

[native sail]

Felt

Surely I won't turn my cycle stash into a complete fucking abomination within three days

[severe fjord]

Do we know if their is a set limit on listings? or can you only list if you have "X" amount of points?

[native sail]

I don't think they mentioned a limit on listing. As far as I know it's just limited by if you can afford the favor to.

[celest jasper]

Hello! I am bit of build planning and does the Frost Ward node on Flame Ward change it's tag to cold?

[native sail]

Pretty sure yes. Should have a line about swapping the tag to cold.

[celest jasper]

it doesnt

[celest jasper]

hence why I asked 😅

[native sail]

You may need to hold alt or ctrl alt on it

But if it's a conversion then 99.99999% of the time it changes the tag. Leave a tiny margin of error for bugs.

[celest jasper]

Yeah, I did that.

[surreal verge]

Indeed it does.

[celest jasper]

Nice!

Helps with my runic invocation haha

[lean jay]

hello friendos, I am returning after a year and wanted to inquire how it has changed over the past year? how's the class balancing too?

[formal arrow]

about how underlevelled, if at all, should i expect to be during the campaign?

[icy drift]

class balancing is wonky but all classes can do the endgame just fine

[lean jay]

alright, so not much different to a year prior

[icy drift]

yup lol, hasn't been much of a priority

[celest jasper]

does Flame Rushs "Epiloque" node ignore cooldown, if my invocation has cooldown?

[steel merlin]

yes

[lean jay]

valid if they want to get a proper game going first, how has the rest of the game evolved then? story, content, stability (server stability, bugs, etc) wise?

[steel merlin]

entire good rework to the beginning, no story added

content good, stability bad

thats why everyone implored them to not release the game in december

[cobalt fern]

Help me, i cant leave this area "End of time"

entering monolith of fate is stuck like 5 mins

[wind oak]

why does my char often stop moving in the lagon fight, am I being stunned or is something just breaking my click and hold

[lean jay]

reasonable point

[wind oak]

I know his claw has a big stun but I'll be attacking the tentacles and my char wil just stop

and it doesn't show the swirly stun animation

[icy drift]

relog

[scarlet trout]

60 hours grinding, level 96, playing corruption 200+, still no prism wraps

am i missing something, is there a way to farm this thing

[desert tree]

Are you farming the Blood Frost Death timeline ?

Do you have the unique drop rate Blessing ?

Do you have the Body Armor drop rate Blessing ?

@scarlet trout

[scarlet trout]

I dont have those blessings on actually, that's a really good point

does it drop only on Blood Frost Death?

[steel merlin]

Also be sure your filter isnt tricking you

[scarlet trout]

jezaz

im blind

[scarlet trout]

thanks lads, I was missing quite a few things haha

although for the Fall of the Outcasts ill keep this thing that I rolled until I get all the adorned i need

[wind oak]

i think just unlucky, I have like 2 or 3 of them and I'm only level 80

[cobalt fern]

thanks, but after game crash this happens again. I need to relog all the time? Hella bummer 😦

[dusky kite]

Not really? The COF player will have the same amount of drops as the MG player as untagged items (because that will be the baseline drop rate which will be identical between them), which they can then profitably trade with each other. The COF player will also get a lot more drops that will be COF flagged from COF loot bonuses.

If anything the implementation they announced ensures parity between the two

[crude plaza]

yo guys, if i have a bis one handed sword that it has some forging potential left. Can i duplicate it with the rune and equip the 2 identical 1 handed swords at the same time?

[wicked plover]

yes

[crude plaza]

perfect! Dayum

[dusky kite]

It wouldn't be sensible anyways even if it worked because starting gear/starting builds are rarely a problem, it's the rare chase items that are.

[wicked plover]

if your class can dual wield swords, not everyone can

[crude plaza]

it can, thank you!

[dusky kite]

Yea I'll look and see how the market develops but first character will likely be on cof

[dusky kite]

They said that there isn't a (practical) limit. But you have to pay favor for each listing.

[dusky kite]

Class balance is even worse than back in the day cause runemaster is absolutely infested with bugs and generally poor tuning. Otherwise no major progress on the game's general difficulty scaling/progression was made in this time, but they announced a rework of corruption in monos for 1.0.

[crude plaza]

can rune of creation be used if 1 forging potential is left on the item?

[dusky kite]

Stabilty went from abysmal to just bad/wonky. They reworked the 1st story chapter, it's fairly nice now. However, the story is not and will not be complete at 1.0. The general approach/quality level of story hadn't improved that much. The dialogue is still poor and rudimentary, not much if any ambient lore/worldbuilding was added, etc.

[wicked plover]

yes

[crude plaza]

Lets go! Thank you for the info man

[dusky kite]

must be a bug or network issue, some people reported something similar on reddit

[dusky kite]

no but it has extra chest unique rewards so it helps

[wind oak]

it really isn't, both will be able to share "baseline drops" with each other (via gifting)

• additional CoF drops are tagged and can't be used by MG char
• MG can also acquire additional items through bazaar but of course those can't be used by CoF char

[hazy remnant]

If I take Maelstrom's cyclone node to convert from cold to physical damage, will that affect procs like tsunami as well?

[wind oak]

do you have a link or remember what thread it was

[wicked plover]

yes

[rancid meteor]

okay thanks

[strange parcel]

how

[wicked plover]

gotta dodge my dude

[modest shore]

anyone knows what you get for sharing a dlc version of the game on steam? i mean i got the pre order pet on both of them and 50 points only on one which ofc makes sense. But is there a way i use shared account and transfer the points? if no, do i get the cosmetic armour set at the launch of the game?

[split quail]

My stats don't apply to minions, right?
So for example Critical Strike Multipler or Increased Nercotic Damage only applies to attacks I do

[desert tree]

Yep

[lavish turtle]

Hi, I just unlocked the first lvl 66 monolith but I am still level 61 - should I keep farming the inital monolith or progress? And in case I keep farming the first one, should I still do the stability quests for the final boss?

[severe fjord]

just progress, your main goal now should be to get to empowered monos

[cedar locust]

Do you mean Family Sharing?

[modest shore]

yeah

[cedar locust]

Let me look into it!

[lavish turtle]

thank you!

[surreal verge]

There's a good chance the 'shared' account can't even play the game, as the game is tied to your LE account (Silent created and linked to your steam account)

[severe fjord]

If I have to take a while guess, it will be able to play true offline, but that has no cosmetics

[modest shore]

i can play game on both clients while family sharing the problem is just that i purcheased the dlc on the other one and wanted to know if theres any way you could share it or just transfer it. both account can play Online

[surreal verge]

Hm?

You can? Then I got no clue.

But supposedly it's tied to your LE account, which family share doesn't 'share'

[old kettle]

hey guys did this game fully release yet?

[steel merlin]

I wish

21 feb

[dusky kite]

The term "fully released" is 100% marketing and makes no sense in any other context. The game had been "fully playable" for years by now, and with the official release on 21st it won't be significantly more feature complete than now cause they are only adding one major feature

And the story will still be incomplete in 1.0

[cedar locust]

I'll have to confirm with the team, which could be a few hours due to time zones, though I don't think you'll be able to share the Epoch Points to another account and the same might apply to cosmetic items. I'm about to test that one. The Guppy could be the exception due to how it is applied to accounts

[steel merlin]

Having finally all classes in the game also counts as major feature

[modest shore]

welp thats sad i guess i just wasted some money but thanks for help anyways.

[fallen herald]

Hey just curious about what major feature you’re referring to?
I’m a complete noob never played the game considering buying it before full release

[cedar locust]

I'll get back to you with the teams answer though I am about to test something on my accounts

[modest shore]

sure

[steel merlin]

Item factions, chossing between trade or augmented loot

[dusky kite]

Loot factions is the major new game system, although one could argue that the inclusion of the last two missing (sub)classes can be chalked up as a feature as well.

[strange parcel]

So I heard that the loot will be better for ssf players. My question is will the trade receive nerfs compared to now or will ssf receive buffs compared to current loot ?

[steel merlin]

Yes to both, mild nerf to base loot (really mild) and big buff to self found

Something needs to be done about the wording ssf

It's been used so much that seems like people forgot what each letter is for

[strange parcel]

wdym?

[steel merlin]

Not complaining about your comment

It's just that everyone talks about ssf mode(solo self found) when the faction doesn't imply you are solo, just that the loot is self found

[surreal verge]

Yeah, all you give up is the ability to trade, you can still party and all that (and even share loot with other players via gifting!)

[wicked plover]

well it's kinda genre defining, so its commonly better understood that way

[dusky kite]

kinda solo* account find *(but also with gifts, blackjack and hookers)

[strange parcel]

oh rly?

[steel merlin]

The ksaf mode

[surreal verge]

Yeah, faction choice is seperate from the actual SSF option.

You can even swap factions if you like.

[strange parcel]

very cool

[dusky kite]

well given how busted funneling loot from a full group to one person is going to be, when it comes to any competitive aspect you won't find much "self found" in COF

[cedar locust]

So I tested on my steam account and cosmetic items aren't shared. I think both accounts have a Guppy as this is tied to the creation date of the Last Epoch account, all accounts made get the Guppy at the moment. However Cosmetic items are tied to the account that purchased them.

[onyx briar]

Yak is right, it's going to mislead at least a few people who won't pick it because they will assume it will stop them from grouping with friends

[dusky kite]

well I guess it won't say anything like that in official materials, but you are probably right that the community perception is already skewed

take a look at reddit where 99% of posts are from poe players

[modest shore]

unlucky do you think writing a ticket would make any changes? i mean tryint to ask support for transfering them or is this perma not changable

[cedar locust]

There's no harm in asking however there's also no guarantee, Support Team. I do know you wouldn't be allowed the items on both accounts though.

[modest shore]

ill try thanks for help. yeah items on both accounts would be wild

[violet oyster]

Not sure where to post this question. I've looked for, and might've overlooked, any options regarding the overlay map. I find it almost impossible to use it on the bright background of the first areas. Are there settings I'm just not seeing?

Even at max opacity I find it hard to see what is going on, on the map while running around.

[wicked plover]

it can be an issue at times depending on the background, when that happens i close down the overlay and check the map in the top right corner, it has a lot better visibility when it comes to colors/shades

not an optimal solution but it helps

[violet oyster]

That's what I've been doing. I've had to use the "minimap" function, but I loooove this overlay map, so I hoped I could fiddle around with some color options or something

[cedar locust]

There are no colour options, only opacity and size however you could always make a post in #1123697853882187847 with the issues you're facing and suggestions for improvements!

[violet oyster]

Ops, I posted them in suggestions. It's a bit of a QoL thing for me personally, so I hope thats ok.

[cedar locust]

Suggestions works too!

[native flame]

anyone got some solution for server disconnecting issues? i already deactivated my firewall changed the dns server repaired the game and reinstalled it.

[coarse tide]

Will a new "league" start when the game releases or can I still play my old characters? 🙂 ty

[toxic echo]

can try verifying files (esp after the last two little server patches), can also try a different server even if its a worse ping, might be more stable, can also try a vpn. all of these thing have helped certain people

[maiden thistle]

Anyone know of a Runemaster build that gives the full Invoker experience, strategically using a variety of different runic invocations? LETools is difficult to search for "I want to make my brain explode".

[clear sand]

There's a node in runic invocations that makes your invocations random

As for a truly invoker experience that's gonna be hard since casting Quas, Wex and Exort is instant and the equivalent of generating Quas, Wex and Exort for Runemaster is having to cast a skill(there's cast speed in play here, animation and such)

[toxic echo]

most RM RI builds are focused on one/two RI's for consistancy. doubt you will find a published build with randomness

[clear sand]

You can use the randomness aspect of the skill and spec as much elemental damage that you can + int but that's not the most efficient way of playing and is one of the reasons we don't see guides for it

[surreal verge]

There's always runebolt wild magic, but otherwise.

[clear sand]

Creators tend to make guides for concepts of builds that's able to achieve goals such as a certain corruption threshold and/or killing julra

[clear sand]

I'm not home right now but if you wait and want I can make a build planner for you depending on your budget/time you spend playing

[lunar sonnet]

Man ... I've been trying a lot of different classes, but still not sure what I enjoy xD

[desert pebble]

it has culling and is pretty tanky though, its not BAD for bossing though right?

[maiden thistle]

I'm currently planning a fresh character for 1.0 in the prophecy faction. I know about the random order as a possibility, but I'm not interested in that: I'm more interested in quickly consciously choosing what move to use.

[clear sand]

Cast speed + cold, lightning and fire no cd spell on shortcut

[maiden thistle]

Shortcut?

[cedar locust]

That's okay! What have you tried so far?

[fluid dew]

Hello fellow gamers, so for anyone who has been watching the Icy Veins vids on the Warlock, I am probably going to sound like an edit here, but what Procs the curses? I mean there is a lot of skills and passives to proc overloads etc, but I have been through almost all the skill trees now and I dont know if Injust missed something or misunderstood, but yes. Can anyone explain?

[wintry blade]

Hello, any good summoner necromancer guide out there? I do not find a good one to be honest

[dusky kite]

nah you arent missing anything, it just sucks in brightly colored zones/biomes

[fluid dew]

I might also just be brain dead and forgetting something at this point.

[dusky kite]

try connecting via a vpn, even a free one

[dusky kite]

"Strategically" is not the word that I would use for invoker rm builds, the usability of that approach is very meh so people who want specific effects usually go with immutable order

[toxic echo]

mostly skills (bone curse, spirit plague, profane veil, etc) apply curses. there are some passive nodes that give curses too. from there they are likely ailments

[steel merlin]

what do you mean with good,well explained, strong character?

[dusky kite]

Those videos are ultra shit so you should look up the warlock planner on maxroll, at least in a written form it's much more obvious and easier to keep track of various effects. There are a ton of curses which have individual ways of triggering them

[fluid dew]

Thanks so much. I appreciate that. Yeah I have been struggling with the way things have been worded and somethings have just been skipped over.

[dusky kite]

flame wraith necro should be one of the stronger necro builds rn, at least the strongest "fair" build (perhaps abom can be abused to a higher level)

[hollow jetty]

"added damage scaling %" is for spell/weapon damage only right? not % type damage..

[maiden thistle]

Thanks. I'll have some fun with it while leveling and then switch to something linear when I hit a wall.

[fluid dew]

Okay thank you. I just dont know what skills for the new Warlock apply them which is slightly annoying,. Appreciate it everyone

[dusky kite]

you can play the random bullshit go build to a reasonably high level (200-300 corr), the problem just is, most effects are interchangeable aoe clear and if you want to aim strategically for the few that aren't, there is no easy way of doing that

[wintry blade]

I was looking for a video guide or something

[toxic echo]

there should be all the skill trees online at this point. maxroll has a breakdown of where the curses come from

[dusky kite]

Scaling affects flat damage only

The rest of the modifiers work on the value of flat*scaling%

[maiden thistle]

Really, I saw the Runic Energizer node and wanted to see how high I could make the number go

[hollow jetty]

tq

[fluid dew]

Thank you

[lethal mural]

i guess with those modfiers thats why i get 1 shot being 16 level below

[dusky kite]

yes, generally speaking the modifiers are much more relevant than flat corruption number

they are addressing it in 1.0 though

[lethal mural]

increasing coruption doe it resets modifers ?

[toxic echo]

only completing echoes

orobyss does not remove mods

[lethal mural]

men, they got like 120% increased damage i always die and cant get stablity, ill be more carefull to the modifers hen i get passed that, even tho i dont go in a straight line, ill try mostly straight tho

i guess + the fact im level 84 might not help surviving

75 all res except poison

[toxic echo]

yeah once you are underleveled a bit(emp in the first jump to empowered) its a bit hard and you need to be careful

[lethal mural]

even tho i dont gain stablity all the echos its stll better exp, i kill em really fast its just sometimes i get 1 shot

[dusky kite]

resistance is just one defensive layer out of many and having resists a little below cap is not a big deal compared to not having crit miti/avoidance or enough health

you can also use quest echoes to remove modifiers or lower corruption in the uh how was that sanctum type echo called again

[lethal mural]

if you do a quest it resets the modifers, how many ? all i have not are dmg increase for enemies lol

[toxic echo]

it just takes one turn off the mods. so depends on how much time is left on the mods

[lethal mural]

k

and since its a quest after a lil bit you can remove em all cuz you are not adding more

its what i presume

[toxic echo]

well i dont think you can keep redoing quests...much like the first time you do them once before the boss fight. so its only good to remove up to two turns.

you can also save the beacon nodes...those also do not add mods and work to take them off

[lethal mural]

noted ty

[dawn orbit]

Is it worth to craft in the leveling process or is it a waste of the materials? I just started but i think at least the weapon is worth it for getting faster throu the game? What about the runes or glyphes? Hold them till later? I think i would use a rune of destruction on a my old weapon if it has good affixe so i can carry over to the new wepaon if i find a good one? Or how the experienced player handles this?

[toxic echo]

as long as you arent using rare mats (despair glyphs, +skills, hybrid health, etc) craft away during leveling

you get plenty of common mats. hopes, chaos, health, res, just go ham

[dawn orbit]

Thanks, is there a way the game tell me which is rare?

[toxic echo]

rare affix shards will drop as kinda reddish, compared to the tan the commons drop as

[dawn orbit]

are those rare affixes still red in the crafting list?

[candid elm]

The class specific stuff, like +skills are that red-ish color. There's also stuff that's less common but often desirable, such as Hybrid Health - the one that gives both +health and +% health.

No, I don't believe they are marked like that in the Forge.

[toxic echo]

nah, only on the overworld drops. you can check rarities on lastepochtools. but its really just hybrid health, +skills, pen that you run into as rare shards

that you want to hoard

really shouldnt be too hard to figure out whats rare and whats not after playing for a bit. the amounts will be noticable

[dawn orbit]

Thanks. In my invenstory there is a button which transfer all materials into a crafting cheast or something. Is there any reason not to do this? The only reason i could imagine is trading.

[toxic echo]

always hit the button

its there because the devs wanted shards to feel like items, but, even they have admitted its not going over well

[lethal mural]

whats the purple skull in the enmy modifer

[candid elm]

Are you referring to something like this? It's the Corruption.

[lethal mural]

yes thst purple skull ok ty , coruption noted

[candid elm]

In addition to the more health and damage, Corruption also gives increased item rarity and experience.

[lethal mural]

the better loot i know

its so much easier now the enemies doenst have 140% inccrease dmg

but im wonderingi had to back track, i think i heard its bad for corruption increase can someone explain why, i know it has to do with a distance thing but not really sure i understansd

[deep ravine]

Hello what would u guys say is the easiest but strongest build to start playing ?

[lethal mural]

spin to win void knight

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide

[deep ravine]

Ty sir

[lethal mural]

its so easy mostyl 1 button, others button are buff

you can use full mana to get your buff and time travel to ge back all ur mana

[toxic echo]

if farming corruption, orobyss gives more base corruption the farther you go out. but if you are 16 levels downa and struggling on base 100 corruption, wouldnt worry too much about fighting orobyss and getting more corruption until you can handle it

[lethal mural]

what determine if you 16 level down

uz i progressed far i think

but had to back track

[toxic echo]

u said you were earlier. lol

[lethal mural]

how does that affect

i mean i got up

but i had to bak track

to get other stuff to kill mods

[toxic echo]

backtracking doesnt really matter. its only where you actually fight orobyss. you can jump anywhere to farm, level, and loot

[lethal mural]

going down path isnt the same a going to the forward dirrection ?

[near path]

It's a web

You can go in whichever direction from the center

[toxic echo]

you can go back far out. you arent forced to go in a line and do an echo next to what you just finished

can literally just go to the other side of the web if you want to

[lethal mural]

kk, you just need to be really far from the center when killing the shade

[toxic echo]

yes

[near path]

No it isn't bad. You can reach 300-400ish pretty easily. It just becomes boring as modifiers start ramping up and things become more tanky. I don't know how good or bad it will be in 1.0. It's not a bad build by any means, it's just.. not quite good enough after a point IMO

[desert pebble]

what are some good druid builds to reroll after i hit a wall?

besides eq

[toxic echo]

cold spirit thorns/thorn totem. lightning bug.

[edgy sphinx]

There's a lightning bug?

[toxic echo]

yeah. swarmblade the uses maelstrom and tornado to proc stupid amoutns of lightning procs

its really good tbh

[safe sky]

Other than boulderfist gloves, are there other ways/items to prevent leech?

[toxic echo]

xitharas conundrum

[safe sky]

GReat ty ill look into it

[amber monolith]

Is there an active German Last Epoch discord?

[sterile bane]

There’s a lot of EU ones

[toxic echo]

nothing official, as they dont have mods/enough mods to handle other languages. might be some unofficial ones tho

[sterile bane]

No posting of other discords is allowed

[cedar locust]

Some players have shared their servers in #👥┃lfg , there might be a german one

[amber monolith]

I've just been able to find one that has like 500members and seems pretty inactive

[cedar locust]

The exception to this is Servers that support languages we are unable to in this Server

[sterile bane]

Wait

So that server in LFG is allowed?

[amber monolith]

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that

[acoustic thicket]

Does this mean static orb reaches 100% more damage faster, or does it allow it to reach 160%?

[cedar locust]

If a Server supports a language we can't at this time, we allow it to remain

[sterile bane]

Then I apologize for my report on it

So fan servers no, language support yes?

Got it

[near path]

Crackling Assault Bear, quite a few variants of EQ so you should still check if you find one you like, Swarmblade like Eagles mentioned, I think there's some Upheaval build out there too

[distant compass]

the skill has inc lightning damage in the tree. if i convert it to fire, will that lightning be converted to inc fire or no and that's a waste in that case?

[proud hornet]

If anyone here is having connectivity issues, try not using wifi and putting in an ethernet cable. It was impossible to play Last Epoch and I had no more disconnects after putting in the ethernet cable.

[toxic echo]

depends on what exactly the conversion node says. sometimes yes, most of the time no

[distant compass]

usually it just says base dmg converted and scales with corresponding type, shock -> ignite

so if doesn;'t say exactly that ndoes in the tree converted as well then no>?

[toxic echo]

yeah it'll specifically say something like " increases to x type from this tree is also converted" i think flame ward is an example of it.

[distant compass]

yeah i see) thanks

[unique kernel]

Any1 knows why my HP is at 1/3rd everytime i load into a zone?? The game is trying to get me dead that badly?? Im keeping that Deathless Solo marker! 😄

[sinful laurel]

Bug currently. Game is defaulting to your base life before gear

[unique kernel]

Sometime i feel like im internally hoping that they Pushback the release..

[dusky kite]

They still have years of work before 1.0 is seriously polished, and just in case, I'm not joking here

Another delay won't solve any of the major issues

Might as well release it now

[dusky kite]

most of the time conversions will convert bonuses inside the skill's tree to the new damage type as well

[unique kernel]

and kill the hype of the release that you can only truly get once?
Im feeling we are going to see another Wolcen case happen. Hundreds of thousands of people flooding a game in hope of a good quality product, only to meet many bugs that blocks the Hardcore community to enjoy the game. If the game has many server issues on top of it as it has atm with coop working 1/4 of the times, thats a big rip

[dusky kite]

I mean I don't disagree on the release hype, but they don't exactly have great options here, and many games in recent times have in fact recovered from a less than stellar launch. Who knows? As far as hardcore community goes, this game's balance is all over the place and the endgame is not that deep, I fail to see a real hardcore community being interested in it any time soon.

[unique kernel]

Im just sad that the Less than Stellar launch needs to be gone forever in gaming world. games has to be finished at release. thats why we keep having games "releasing" in beta stages but still have the stamp of "released". LE is in a much better state than it was 3 years ago, but still I dont think feb 21st update will fix that many issues since it will also bring a flock of anew ones with the new skills being added. Time will tell i guess

gaming is now the only product where you can sell a products and change 90% of it after lmao. a car has some calls back sometimes (which i never got in 20+ years) but a game is still in devlopment for years. Or when we order a plate at the restaurant, we dont get half our steak, soggy fries and wet salad and then the raiter says " If you want the rest of your steak, pay 20$)...

i guess i needed to vent haha

[dusky kite]

I don't disagree, but again, think of the very problem wiht new skills that you mention. Clearly rm, warlock, falconer and possibly druid are developed to a much higher standard than the rest of the classes. To solve that problem, they would literally need to completely revamp 11 classes. History shows us that they can do that in a more or less adequate manner (less adequate in regards to RM) at a rate of 1 class per 3 months. So to fix this one design problem they'd need to spend 2,5 years at their current rate.

Delaying release by 2,5 years is a complete nonstarter which you I hope well understand

[toxic echo]

no company will ever release a perfect finished game at launch. especially live service games that are constantly evolving and being updated. games would go bankrupt long before that ever happened with the amount of work going to the games today.

[unique kernel]

Not unless us as consumer say, we dont want games as a service anymore. consumers decides

[dusky kite]

bro I work in enterprise software in fintech and you won't believe the kind of shit that gets shipped in this industry

usually at a 50000% markup too

[native sail]

I want games as a service still :)

[unique kernel]

i know i worked as a fqa tester for years. the amount of games i sayd dont release this now, and they still went for it and it flopped...

shareholders are disconected from reality and profit is the only thing that drives them

[dawn orbit]

is there a way to show the mini map very big so i can see everything? i only saw the minus button but its only show little mit more.

[steel merlin]

I want games in this genre to be GaS, inject new content in my veins

[wicked plover]

tab

[dawn orbit]

life safer thanks

[agile junco]

There is anyway to target farm Shade of Orobyss?

[wicked plover]

run alot of monoliths and go one way until you reach it, as far away from center as possible

[dusky kite]

all shades share the same drop list so you don't need to "target" it

[agile junco]

Any timeline?

[wicked plover]

oro is the boss for all timelines

you use him to reset and raise corruption

[agile junco]

Wait, I am confused, I thought the Shade of Orobyss was just a mini boss

I am trying to get a Siphon of Anguish

[toxic echo]

nah he the big boss right now

[wicked plover]

all timelines have a specific boss with a specific loottable, you get to fight them if you collect enough stability (thats also the ones where you choose your blessing)

orobyss is indepent from that, he spawns in every timeline and resets your web and raises your corruption

you may confuse those 2

[dusky kite]

as he said in the trailer, it really all leads back to him

[agile junco]

all timelines have a specific boss with a specific loottable, you get to fight them if you collect enough stability (thats also the ones where you choose your blessing)
Yea, I know this part

orobyss is indepent from that, he spawns in every timeline and resets your web and raises your corruption
This one is where I am confused. I just need to get to the "edge" of the web to find him or does he spawn in any random echo?

[toxic echo]

heard a theory yesterday that orobyss is really just us (the traveler) and i kinda hated it

[wicked plover]

you are more likely to find him the farther away from center you move

[agile junco]

Great

Thank you

[oblique dome]

Question so when playing coop is it a bug to when someone dies you can’t respawn or revive someone? We have to keep closing the game out and reloading when it happens

[velvet plume]

the delay of map transition will be corrected once launch?

[toxic echo]

they should be able to respawn themselves. there are no player reviving other players afaik. but if they cant respawn themselves, yeah thats an issue

[toxic echo]

hopefully, yes. been a high priority for the devs for a while

[oblique dome]

Yeah can’t respawn we just lay dead lol

[queen hawk]

any actual fix for this? have done the restarting steam, verifying files, even redownloaded the game still happens! i get in after closing and restarting the game 10-15 times! but im not doing that everytime lol

[supple moat]

yeah so much lag it is unplayable for me

[toxic echo]

try a different server and/or using a vpn

[supple moat]

EU servers are gg I guess

[queen hawk]

i cant even get to the point of choosing a server 😄

worked fine 2 days ago

[toxic echo]

eu servers are...not great. lots of people have better luck with NA servers, even if its worse ping, its more stable

[toxic echo]

then use option 2

[queen hawk]

im not gonna use a VPN for a game i shouldnt need 1 for

[ancient dagger]

are you able to trade in this game?

[supple moat]

also there is something wrong with this item + lag
https://i.imgur.com/pMX23UA.png

the 1 sec invul makes my game crash constantly

[toxic echo]

vpn's solve plenty of issues that are neither you or the games fault. if there is a routing issue from your isp, vpn's can go around that. particularly in EU, there have been some issues with ISP's teh past few days

[supple moat]

have been playing this build for 3-4 days without any problem but it is weird since the laggy servers

[toxic echo]

gifting right now. trade is coming in 1.0 feb 21st

[split fossil]

guys im having lostconnections to the servers error every time i enter anotehr area some times it gives same error when i jsut click to start game ... :/ any possible way to fix it ?

[ancient dagger]

how will it work?

another quick question

is this a season based game like Diablo?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[ancient dagger]

and PoE

in your opinion is it better than diablo?

[toxic echo]

there are some forum posts about how trade will work in great detail

[sinful laurel]

For the first however many cycles there won't be a difference between cycle and legacy though. Except for ladder and economy reset

[toxic echo]

verifying game files. trying a different server (worse ping but maybe more stable is fine). also trying vpn's if its an isp issue

[sinful laurel]

Yes ofc it's better than Diablo

[oblique dome]

@toxic echo ok so it’s a bug. Twice it wouldn’t let me respawn. This time it did lol.

[toxic echo]

yeah. sounded like one. long as you reported it, should be good. the in game reporting pulls both current and previous game logs

[split fossil]

tried verifying / also different server too :/ and would changing dns to googless that it 8.8.8.8-8.8.4.4 ? :/

jsut bought the game and cant play :/

[tepid nexus]

asked before but how rare is rune of creation and will we keep our loot with 1.0 launch? got one in multiplayer launch

[ancient dagger]

is the trade system going to prevent real world trading?

RMT?

[native sail]

I meam

It's quite restrictive

[ancient dagger]

So I can't freely trade OP gear to my friend that let's say just started the game?

[native sail]

So while it is impossible to fully get rid of it (someone will always find a way) it'll be quite easy to track and it's also really bad return for the time investment

[toxic echo]

its the most rare rune in the game.

current items/loot will all go to legacy

[native sail]

Nope. Your friend will have to reach act 9 first. And farm favor.

[toxic echo]

if you two play together when the item drops, you can gift between you two

[tepid nexus]

oh so it will start like a new season or something

[toxic echo]

yeah, when 1.0 comes out. all current toons get moves to legacy where everything gets moved to, and then cycles start if you want a fresh start...but thats optional. plenty of people are sticking with legacy

[tepid nexus]

thanks

[dusky kite]

you can trade items that dropped while you were grouped to other group members. A proper trade system with auction house and everything comes in the next patch

[dusky kite]

of course not, you can just buy (or "hire" as they say in the civilized world) some people to play the game for you, among numerous other ways to indirectly purchase stuff in any game. But no, it won't have any built in "official" RMT mechanics

[vocal citrus]

But it will still likely be bannable if you’re caught, which should be enough of a deterrence

[lavish turtle]

noobie question: i am currently following the runemaster leveling guide by maxroll and then i wanted to change to the frostclaw one - should I do it at 70 as the frostclaw guide says? or do you guys change to a specific lootfilter to start gathering gear so that the change is smooth?

[toxic echo]

as long as you have the gear, you can really do it anytime before or after. getting the gear is the hard part

all maxroll guides "switch" at 70...but thats more a loose rule than a hard one

[oak wolf]

Hey, how can I level fast after 75? It seems a bit slow. In order for the build I'm going for I need to get to at least 90-95 ish

[near path]

get to empowered monoliths ASAP

[edgy sphinx]

I assume that there will be huge patch notes and part of it will be some balance changes. Some of the people in the guild like to do pre-made builds. Do we know when patch notes will be out?

[near path]

and just play the game honestly

[oak wolf]

Isn't that level 100?

[near path]

area level vs character level is not a big deal here

you typically start emp monos at ~70-75ish

[lavish turtle]

would you suggest I change into the appropriate item filter while leveling towards 70?

i mean, my ideal build item filter

[toxic echo]

could prolly do it a little before to help with the getting gear

[oak wolf]

I'm still doing this, not successfully tho, I die a lot

My build is kinda botched

[near path]

that means you're missing resistances / don't have enough HP / not enough defensive layers

[toxic echo]

"shortly before release" so...sometime during hype week

[dusky kite]

the levels in maxroll guides are largely arbitrary, for instance there is no reason why you can't level in frost claw since level 1 (well, whatever level you get frost claw at) as it doesn't depend on build enabling uniques

[dusky kite]

you can't really, they nerfed exp gain post 75 recently

[steel merlin]

You aren't supposed or required to level up fast

[oak wolf]

I have it like this. I should probably get into crafting then because something in my build instantly eats my mana while I'm doing Frost Claw. Maybe a wrong skill tree point idk

[surreal verge]

0 physical res

There is nothing waiting for you at lvl 100

thanks @toxic echo and @dusky kite! will continue farming gear 🙂

[oak wolf]

I switched from a Fire build to this, maybe that's why I have shit stuff idk

I'm new to this ARPG thing

[near path]

I mean it clearly states that it is a mana intensive build, the only solution is to stack mana regeneration affixes on both your rings, your belt, and wherever else you can get it

but regardless

right now your priority should be getting resistance suffixes wherever you can to cap your phys and void res, and bring up necro and poison as much as you can

[oak wolf]

Is there a website where I can check which bonuses goes to which items

[near path]

Initially when you're new and broke what you do is, you find rare (yellow) items that have at least 1 or 2 affixes that are useful for you. The less common those are, the better (you'll understand the rarity over time). Then the other affixes if that item has any, you use Glyph of Chaos on to roll into something useable. Or if it DOESN'T have other affixes even better, you craft desired affixes with Glyph of Hope. It's important to have the highest FP on the item possible so that you are able to craft.

later on, you follow this same method but with EXALTED (drop only) gear that has a t6/t7 affix that you desire. Here, FP matters even more because you can literally create a BiS or near BiS item if you get lucky

[oak wolf]

Okay I think I understand, I'll check the items I've collected and maybe I can put some good bonuses onto them

Normally I ignore new items unless they have T4+ bonus because they drop with complete the opposite I need (i.e Fire Damage etc.)

[sinful laurel]

I have only looked at the overview but I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. This seems like a pure kronenberg build

@earnest belfry

[near path]

you shouldn't do that all the time. For example, let's say you drop an item with +1 to a skill you use. That's often a great drop and should be insta pick, because you can upgrade that +1 to +2 yourself

look at the mod itself as well, not just its tier, is what I'm trying to say

if the mod is useful to you, and you need it, and the item has workable FP, then pick it up and try to make something out of it

the game gives you mats aplenty

[oak wolf]

Okay gotcha, I'll try to aim for the bonuses I need for that build. Which is like this it seems:

[near path]

yes

you'll have to intelligently try to balance what you get where and when. Like right now obv your priority is res, health, some armor. THen immediately after you need to cap crit reduction.

after that you start building some damage through various ways, but also might want movespeed for QoL, but may want some cast speed for ease of skill use, etc.

[oak wolf]

for crit reduction I have this:
