[gaunt vale]

just ask some1 for a carry

[pliant kite]

I will try sometime. 😄

[severe fjord]

sometimes an overlooked defense is movement speed.

[gaunt vale]

someone with a better build than i....

[hollow root]

also is the game allowing others to play offline currently? (can't tell if its a personal issue or if the servers are down right now)

[native sail]

We should get you the funny overflow ward Druid setup specifically for Lagon

[pliant kite]

It's okay, it's nearly midnight and I need to go to bed.
I was asking conceptually, not for specific help right now.
Thank you everyone, I greatly appreciate it.

[hollow root]

I had a possibly weird build where I used the shout (forgot the proper name) as a totem, and had the option for it to heal so it would let out healing blasts (and buffs and damage from other perks) and it helps survive undodgeable damage

[gaunt vale]

cheers gramps
sleep well

[thorn oyster]

what does this game do differently than diablo 4? I didn't play yet but I hope it doesn't have the same terrible loot system and repeatitive leveling/endgame

[surreal verge]

It's closer to PoE than D4.

[wide sentinel]

All you need to do is keep track of lagoons eye it gives you a headsup before any dangerous attacks, everything else should be face tanked

[toxic echo]

its an arpg at heart...so its gonna be pretty similar. better loot/crafting. endgame in any arpg is repetitive

[wide sentinel]

Like everything starting from itemziation and drops to the endgame and class design

[thorn oyster]

do items have 4920949339 affixes and you have to constantly search them one by one to see what is worth it or not?

[native sail]

We have this cool thing called an item filter

[thorn oyster]

also do you reach max level by spamming the same dungeons?

[native sail]

It's in game

[surreal verge]

Non-uniques or sets have 4.

[native sail]

Have you seen PoE maps? Basically that.

[pliant kite]

I will try, but the eye was a dark colour on a dark colour in the middle of a moving blur. I honestly couldn't see it without focusing only on that, and it takes 1-2 seconds for me to focus on it if I look away. But I will try to come up with a way of tracking it.
the problem with games like this is they are 3-4x harder if you aren't perfectly healthy in all regards, and that's how they are designed. I get it, but it's harder than lag, harder than not having the right build most of the time... I just hate it when I get it.

[thorn oyster]

I didn't play much poe but iirc it had a story progression system, it wasn't like diablo 4 where you spammed the same nightmare dungeons endlessly

[native sail]

Sorta?

PoE has a campaign, you'll be mid-60s by the time you leave it.

[thorn oyster]

poe was similar to diablo 2 I think

[native sail]

Max level is 100

D2 has no endgame

PoE does

[thorn oyster]

how do you level after 60?

[native sail]

Maps mostly

Uh...

How do I explain maps to someone who doesn't know what maps are...

[severe fjord]

basically nightmare dungeon spam, but more open

[native sail]

I guess that's close enough yeah.

If you've seen D3 rifts, it's kinda similar.

[surreal verge]

Context?

[cedar locust]

What's happening when you try?

Sorry you're in that position - letting us know where the game can be improved or what settings options would be of help to you would be a really helpful #1123697853882187847 post - if you don't mind taking the time to do that!

[thorn oyster]

is there autoloot on this game?

also what are you allowed to trade?

[toxic echo]

no autoloot, save gold. everything else needs to be clicked

there is no trade right now, only gifting. trade is coming in 1.0

!trade

[ripe brook]

Are you a Merchant's Guild Member, or a Circle of Fortune member? Find out here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[toxic echo]

there is also a more up to date version of the trade preview in the forums as well

@cedar locust the ! trade command links to an old version of trade blog from last year, and not the current one released a few weeks ago

[surreal verge]

Equipment, basically, and only equipment

[cedar locust]

I'll grab the team for those today and steal an hour to try get it updated! Everyone is just really busy, though I understand how important that bot is gonna be!

[restive maple]

Have the devs stated anywhere if the interaction between Death Rattle amulet and Spriggan Form (where it brings you back to life with 30 hp) is intended or not?

[shadow moat]

Is the cycle paid for dlc or free?

[severe fjord]

huh

[dusky kite]

free

[native sail]

There are no plans for paid DLC/expansions. Ever.

[dire marsh]

they better make some more cosmetic store items then xd

[native sail]

They will

[lethal mural]

what is armor migration ?

[sinful laurel]

Do you mean armor mitigation?

[lethal mural]

yes lol sorry

[dire marsh]

armor mitigation? xd you mean damage mitigation

[sinful laurel]

Armor is one form of damage mitigation yes lol

Damage reduction to use better words for this game

[lethal mural]

what does it do ?

[sinful laurel]

Put it on and find out

[dire marsh]

armor only affects hits not dots

with that part of it also works for dots

[toxic echo]

if your armour has 50% reduced hit damage, 27% of that is also used to reduced dot dmg

[gaunt vale]

Short answer, kill stuff and get random affixes added up to x amount of weaver will

[dire marsh]

he asked about the stat.. not weavers

[toxic echo]

quite literally not related to what he is asking

[sinful laurel]

Lol we all answer different things cause we have no idea what part he is asking about

[lethal mural]

so, getting armor whilw chanelling is good with it ?

[dire marsh]

why do u answer then

[sinful laurel]

Oh wait, linked to the first question

[toxic echo]

yep

[dire marsh]

if you have no idea of the question

[toxic echo]

you havin a rough day today. lol

[sinful laurel]

Dude I am

I should just stop I guess

[toxic echo]

more armour is good if running that affix, yes

[dire marsh]

sure if you use a channeling attack/spell

[lethal mural]

kk then ill try to fam a better tahn 600 someting armor chanelling jst not sre if i wanan run it i have to change some stugg

but +3 war path and + 4 anomally ... +1 iform that s getting deep

[violet kayak]

A question guys , will the game reset when it releases officially?

[gaunt vale]

Your current charas will move to the "standard" legacy league

[severe fjord]

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

[violet kayak]

Okok I'm about to buy the game and wasn't sure 😄

[hollow root]

it simply fails to load, as somehow the steam cloud got some bad files, that will always load and force the game to not connect (turned off the steam cloud for now)
also the 60+ hour character is lost forever, but I managed to retain the stash
additionally as per Steam Support there is no way to specifically delete bad files on their cloud and they don't overwrite for Last Epoch

[wicked wagon]

everything will roll back on 1.0?

[severe fjord]

[gaunt vale]

^

[surreal verge]

Someone didn't read-

[hollow root]

plus I made a basic bug report thread for the issue, that explains the issue in a bit more detail

[dire marsh]

you mean everyone

[gaunt vale]

Bad night tonight huh

[toxic echo]

only if you want it to. current toons go to legacy and are still playable with all their stuff. there is no exclusive content this cycle.

[dusky kite]

thx mate everything is crystal clear now

/s

[cedar locust]

Thank you - I was going to advise reaching out to our Support Team just in case they could help!

[cedar locust]

Discord bug, if you click the link it takes you to the FAQ thread for this question!

[gaunt vale]

(think he knows, that's why he included the /s)

[severe fjord]

/slime

[gaunt vale]

/slinx

[severe fjord]

/sook

[cedar locust]

That makes sense 😅

[gaunt vale]

Good looking out though. Keep up the great work.

[severe fjord]

@cedar locust can we force players to read FAQ before joining pretty please

[cursive delta]

Guys i have a question once we complete the monolith quests we are give 3 stats to choose
Those stats are overall or just for that precise monolith?

[toxic echo]

no one would read it anyways. dont think you can force a test they have to pass in order to get into the server

[gaunt vale]

Overall

[cursive delta]

Thank you!

[toxic echo]

they are like equipment. they go wherever you go

[cursive delta]

😂 Sounds fun

[severe fjord]

ok, but then if someone asks a question that is on the FAQ surely we can bully them then right?

[cursive delta]

May i ask what are the best stats to get from the monoliths though?

[toxic echo]

no. no bullying

[toxic echo]

depends on your build

[severe fjord]

[gaunt vale]

Generally stuff like drop rate, pen, resists

But yeah depends on ur build

[dense root]

the drop rate stats are all completely separate from the actual character sheet stats

just for the record

you can't not get drop rate unless you just refuse to do certain monoliths and collect blessings from them

[cursive delta]

Uhm i'm following a build it's pretty good but i dont think there's something about the monoliths

[dense root]

what build?

[cursive delta]

Oh there is, Blessings

Crit Runemaster Frost Claw Starter Build for beginners echo farmer and immortal tank by MMOgrafia

[cursive delta]

I'm using this one, its pretty good so far xD

[dense root]

no movement skill??

[sinful laurel]

Eek

[gaunt vale]

huh

[sinful laurel]

Also it looks like maybe a weird mix of crit hit and frostbite. But if it works it works

[cursive delta]

Runic Invocation can "teleport Forward"

[dense root]

that is a very sketchy use of runic invocation

[toxic echo]

also frost wall gives haste

[cursive delta]

[gaunt vale]

that's some hp

[cursive delta]

Probably not the best but i'm having fun xD

[dusky kite]

makes sense in some builds actually, it's a perfectly viable option

if a bit situational

[desert tree]

Who need hp when you have Twisted Heart

[toxic echo]

facts

[dense root]

ok but they have a 17 second cooldown runic invocation

imo your movement skill should not be on a 17 second cooldown

[hollow root]

I contacted the support and hopefully my issue can be resolved so that it doesn't happen to someone else, as it seems like it is a bit of a complicated issue that doesn't have a proper fix on either Steam's side or Last Epoch's side (for properly restoring characters lost to power outages and such, as a small part of the larger issue)

[dense root]

like that's not even faster than just walking

[dusky kite]

bold of you to assume that I actually looked at the build

[gaunt vale]

[sinful laurel]

Also seems like a waste of RI if you're using it for CFC and only getting the buff every 17 seconds

Ouch

[surreal verge]

The FAQ would need a LOT more stuff first

[cedar locust]

That reminds me - brb

[dense root]

so like in fairness the build has some cdr so it's really like cfc every 14 seconds or something and movement every 14 seconds or something

(randomly selected number)

but still

[sinful laurel]

It's an immortal build, just enemies only wait until my buffs are up please?

[cursive delta]

Works pretty fine so far, ain't no pro

[sinful laurel]

We're not mocking you lffr lol

You're new, learning. All good

[cursive delta]

XD I know

But make sense the teleport thing days said

[dense root]

it's true i only mock boru and that's for playing void knight

[toxic echo]

wall gives haste too. get enough MS dont need no movement skill. just zoom outta the way

[dusky kite]

how was that 10k corruption mana sorc dude called again? He waited for 30 sec to get all flame ward charges back before every pack

big brain plays

[sinful laurel]

Idk. 30% Ms does not a traversal skill make.

[dusky kite]

use the experimental boots and it's 50%!

[sinful laurel]

I doubt the man has like 250% Ms lol

[sinful laurel]

Haha true. At t7!

[gaunt vale]

bro is playing an auto scroller wtf

[hazy plover]

hay guys I have Maehlins Hubris but still cause bleed damage, do I misunderstand the conversion effect or what ?

[sinful laurel]

Hmm that's...kinda odd.

In all my testing maehlins converts everything. Like...everything

What are you playing?

[toxic echo]

unless something else is getting converted to bleed somewhere

[gaunt vale]

Any minions?

[hazy plover]

hmmm I'm playing a forge guard with sword minions should it convert that too ?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah minions are the exception to that. They aren't you

[gaunt vale]

Pretty sure minion needs minion tag so it shouldn't convert them

[hazy plover]

with the paladin passive that causes bleed and ignite on hit

[sinful laurel]

And forged weapons don't take stats from your gloves

[hazy plover]

oh that's it then

[cursive delta]

Had no idea i could walk through my Frost wall and get buffs

[gaunt vale]

what a guy

[hazy plover]

so is my forge guard ruby fang set idea not possible then ? damn

[gaunt vale]

my man find some way to get ur movement skill back

so much qol

[cursive delta]

I'll continue this one and do another character once this one is "boring"
I dont mind lacking XD we play for fun

[gaunt vale]

You would have to find a way to convert minion bleed to fire

[hazy plover]

yeah or poison

[sinful laurel]

Ruby fang is honestly just...a really hard set to build around

[soft rivet]

When making a build is it better to plan for max level or to go for inbetween levels?
As in will the LEtools buildplanner allow you to see the loot that goes into the final build or will most viable loot just be hidden?

[sick basalt]

how to connect twitch to my Last EPoch

[toxic echo]

#news message

[dusky kite]

you should think of both as some (many I guess) builds are simply not playable at low levels and/or without certain uniques

[toxic echo]

link is in there

[cedar locust]

https://twitch.lastepoch.com/

[candid elm]

https://twitch.lastepoch.com/

[dusky kite]

but of course your main goal should be performance at endgame

as leveling is rather fast

[sick basalt]

me when i do monolith at lvl 15

[candid elm]

By the mid 70s you'll have every skill at level 20. Getting to level 100 just gives you some extra passive points.

[hazy plover]

my idea was to use serpent's milk and have the sword minions apply tons of fire & poison

[sinful laurel]

I mean you can totally do that, however Ruby fang isn't necessarily the way to go

Forged weapons take your weapon stats regardless, and a good exalted will be better

[surreal verge]

Just to note that set effects aren't applied.

[sinful laurel]

And forged weapons don't take shield stats anyways

[cursive delta]

Is there any way to pick stuff from the ground without using mouse?

[hazy plover]

gotcha, thanks for the tips

[toxic echo]

nope. gotta click. dont think you can put a different keybind for that

[sinful laurel]

Nope

[cursive delta]

Oki , thank you

[lethal mural]

with void knight in anomaly does future srtike counts when hit with time bubble or its just for void rift or its both hits ?

[cedar locust]

The Calamity Helm shouldn't be able to kill you instantly right?

[sinful laurel]

Do you mean time wave? I don't think anomaly does time rifts

And I know the bubble does it, time wave technically should as it's a subskill? But idk, that one is worth testing

[sinful laurel]

If you have 3 health then yes

[native sail]

Instantly? No.

[sinful laurel]

It's killing you from full after one application?

[toxic echo]

iirc there is a bug where is you die with it on, it always blames calamity

even if its not the actual blow

[sinful laurel]

Oh yeah that visual bug. Right

[cedar locust]

I thought so, though the CoD was Calamity: 419HP + 87Ward - 661 Damage =/= Calamity death

Oh, okie dokes. Visual bug! Forgot about that one!

[sinful laurel]

Eagles on point this morning 🙂

[toxic echo]

finally, someone appreciates my effort

lol

[sinful laurel]

Covering my ass for sure 😉

[toxic echo]

eh. we all have off days

and trying to know everything in LE, including bugs, impossible

[cedar locust]

I appreciate you immensely - sorry I haven't been making sure you know that 🫂

[toxic echo]

i mean...you could show it more with a beebadge 😛

but fr, its not something i expect to be thanked for/noticed for. its all good.

plenty of people here do just as much

[pliant marlin]

Is there a channel for asking tips about crafting? Here?

I just finished the main campaign and doing my first echo thing... I got this item. The affixes I think I want are atleast "Increased melee attack speed", "+x melee lightning damage" and minion melee damage... Still using the Howl of the West Wind that I got on like level 30 lol

Basically I would like to replace the melee damage leeched as health with 2 prefixes: flat lightning damage and melee attack speed

sorry for newb question 🙂 just got the game yesterday

[toxic echo]

can either chaos the leech and hope it rolls into something good, or removal and hope it hits the leech and not the minion damage

could also seal the leech once you add a 4th affix

[pliant marlin]

hm

[toxic echo]

tho i wouldnt waste a despair on this weapon tho

[pliant marlin]

ah. I see. yea I'm still like level 58 or something

but this weapon just looks awesome compared to what I have atm

[toxic echo]

yea. i'd do one of the first two options. removal is 33% chance to brick...chaos is pure rng to hit what you want

[pliant marlin]

I'll try the removal. since there's only two options in the prefixes that I think I want

thanks for the help 👍

can I see the list of prefixes and suffixes possible in this window when using chaos thing?

[candid elm]

Another option is to just craft on one of the prefixes you're looking for. Melee attack speed and melee lighting damage are both a Prefix. So you could just pick one.

[sinful laurel]

Click the shard

[pliant marlin]

ah thanks

[candid elm]

It's any that are possible, just not what it is currently. Although if you Chaos twice, it could possibly go right back to it although unlikely

[sinful laurel]

I think he just wanted to see what's possible

[pliant marlin]

That would've been the play in hindsight 😄 considering it would've been an upgrade even with one correct prefix... I just got trapped in the thought of needing both of those prefixes

[candid elm]

I do enjoy a good yolo Removal. But you can definitely have it remove the one mod you want to keep

[pliant marlin]

yep

[faint cape]

tbh I never recommend removal unless the item is already bricked and removal is the way to save it

[pliant marlin]

I do like a bit of gambling in my ARPGs tho 🙂

[winter rain]

Is there a way to remove affixes with certainty?

or just the random rune of removal?

[wicked plover]

you can reroll them for another random affix

[winter rain]

all of the them or i can choose specifically which one i wanna reroll?

[candid elm]

Chaos let's you re-roll just one. But it needs to be T1-T4

[wicked plover]

any affix you can still upgrade

[winter rain]

oohh thats nice

thanks!

[candid elm]

If it's T5 plus Chaos won't work on it

It is random what you get, though

[winter rain]

I'm still having a hard time understand the crafting system and how to optimize loot filters

[candid elm]

If you'd like to look at some guides on making filters, there's some basic general filters on the forums https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3-1/25176
Which also includes some info on making a filter. There's also additional info on making filters on Maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide and the maxroll build guides have filters for each build on the last page of the build guides. LE Tools also has some filters and a filter making tool https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

[last tide]

What is the best way to farm gold? Do people go for all the gold monolith nodes? Or is it better to go arena key and sell those for 6500? Or is there a better way?

[winter rain]

is there somewhere i can check what stats scale with my build?

[wicked plover]

the skill tags when you hover over your skills

[near path]

play the game basically. Gold reward nodes are solid and scale pretty well with corruption too. Arena keys are mid on the other hand

[faint cape]

Nobody really farms gold yet. But I imagine the best way is to get the empowered gold blessing, push corruption, and hit all the gold echoes you see.

[candid elm]

Just playing in Empowered Monoliths in the end game gives quite a lot of gold. Unless you're buying a ton of stash tabs, Shatters, or doing the gold sink dungeon and throwing all your money at the door, you'll have a lot of gold

[last tide]

I'm buying a lot of stash tabs because I plan to play legacy.. but I also want to do Arbor runs but I feel like going in with less than 1-2 million isn't enough

[wicked plover]

stop the hoard nauw

[near path]

you're right, it isn't. The answer is to just farm gold nodes in as high corruption as possible

[candid elm]

You could see if there's a written guide with suggestions. Maxroll and LE Tools have some written guides. There's also just lists of builds on LE Tools that don't have a written guide, although you may be able to look at the gear and get a general idea.

[last tide]

But maybe one day I'll want to use that thing! 😄

[wicked plover]

yeap, maybe
i did the same, grabbed every generic exalt adn realized after a few builds that 4/5 times i still dont have the item stored that i'm looking for
so only pick up valuable stuff like double exalts or t7, much better experience in the long run and you still get regular drops

otherwise your stash tabs just go out of hand, there is no point

[tame smelt]

Q. Is there an announced date for the patch notes as yet?

[wicked plover]

excluding the items that you need for your current build

[wicked plover]

no

[faint cape]

Probably a day or two before patch, I suppose at the earliest it'll be after hyp week ends

[last tide]

I don't plan to go too far.. but I think 1 tab for exalted 1H, one for 2H, one for boots, etc seems reasonable. I'm around 25 tabs now and I think about 35-40 is all I would ever need. I would just start throwing out old stuff if that wasn't enough.

[toxic echo]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1203954468337623111

[tame smelt]

Thanks guys

[faint cape]

So like, they might give us patch notes to end hype week on the friday before patch, or it might be monday.

Or could be same day as patch, hopefully not though 😂

[toxic echo]

its gonna be a solid 8 hours of reading

get comfy

[cursive delta]

Is there anywhere a dummy where i can test my dps?

[toxic echo]

champions gate, divine era, heoborea

chapter 7

tho to be clear, dummy has no defenses, so you going to do considerably more damage to the dummy than mobs

[cursive delta]

Thank you

Understood!

[hollow root]

were the last two missing missing class options (acolyte and rogue) going to make it for the 1.0 release?
(asking here as I haven't seen anything on them and I just started to play as an acolyte)

[dense root]

warlock and falconer will be in 1.0 yeah

[toxic echo]

incase you missed the dates too

[visual elbow]

Anyone know if there is a heavy hitting build similar to hota barb in d4?

[toxic echo]

not super knowledgeable about d4 builds in general...but there are plenty big aoe hits here. unarmed judgement can be one. erasing strike. glacier and meteor can get pretty big. earthquake.

[desert tree]

Judgment

EQ

Even EQ is spamed

[visual elbow]

Thank you all , Gonna check them out

[dreamy vigil]

I've been living under a rock. Have the steam codes been released for $35 pledges on kickstarter, or will that happen upon release?

[cedar locust]

You don't need a steam code if you have a Last Epoch Account - Go to https://migration.lastepoch.com/user/home and follow the instructions provided on the page!

[cedar comet]

something wrong? I run empowered Black Sun all the time but still cannot unlock Hunger of the Void

[toxic echo]

just rng what blessings you get

[cedar comet]

....

[surreal verge]

Luck issue, sadly.

[candid elm]

That is the correct Timeline for that Blessing. On Empowered with less than 200 corruption, you'll get 4 choices each time. Over 200 you'll get 5.

There's 14 blessings in the Black Sun pool. So 4 / 14 chance you'll see it each time around a 28% chance. 35% with 5.

[dense root]

it's not actually 4/14

because the blessings in each slot are not random

[candid elm]

Are you saying the 4 choices are not random? Like slot 1 has a pool of 3, slot 2 has a pool of 2, etc ?

Ok yeah, that is what you're saying

[steel merlin]

slot 1 pool of 3, other slots the rest

[surreal verge]

Mostly slot 1 has a pool, while the rest are random from the rest of the pool.

[candid elm]

Ok so then the one this person wants is probably not in the first slot. So it's 3 / 11 chance?

Which is like a 27% chance

Compared to the 28% I was suggesting earlier

[lethal mural]

on this , attack speed would do more dmg than + melee dmg ?

[last tide]

Here is an example showing the slots
https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/fall-of-the-outcasts/empowered/blessings

[surreal verge]

1/5 in theory

[icy drift]

depends on skill and build

[dense root]

you probably want flat crit?

t1 increased is an easy seal either way though which is nice

[candid elm]

Ty for the info @dense root and @surreal verge

[lethal mural]

i know its easy seal its why im asking, what are thoseflat crit you talk about ?

[dense root]

will look like this

[lethal mural]

[empty barn]

Hi, wanted to ask - if I buy the game right now on steam, is it currently playable? If it is, then when game fully launches on february 21st, would my characters get wiped?

[dense root]

yes currently playable

no wipe

on the 21st characters will be moved to the legacy cycle (equivalent to poe standard league if you know that) and a new cycle will be started

old characters will still be playable but will not be able to party with characters in the new cycle

[empty barn]

oooh, nice, might've just found a new game to replace my boredom then hehe

[dreamy vigil]

@cedar locustThanks.

[cedar locust]

Hmm, what did I do?

[dreamy vigil]

lol

@cedar locusthelp me link my account

[cedar locust]

Oh, it worked then? Awesome! Sorry, super busy and forgot who I've been replying to 😅

[faint cove]

Heyo am pretty new to the game and i heard you can make the endgame super super difficult. What would be a build that is able to push the endgame like crazy. Thx in advance

[toxic echo]

maxroll has some pretty good guides if you are looking for top end builds. right now anything runemaster is good, anything low life ward is good, shadow daggers are also pretty good

[faint cove]

so builds from lich/druid/runemaster/necro can push good?

[buoyant sinew]

Yes, though other classes have options too. But when 1.0 arrives in 2 weeks there will be a lot of balance changes and we don't have patch notes yet so the best builds may all change

[faint cove]

oh ok, guess i will try some builds and see what i like best for now and maybe make a push build for when 1.0 comes out thx for the help

[wicked plover]

if you wanna start before 1.0 just pick what looks cool and get used to game mechanics

making a new char/build is not as dramatic as it seems

[faint cove]

super thats good to know thought it would be similar to poe where making a new char is almost torture xD

[wicked plover]

naaaah you will be fine, campaign almost feels like running maps while building your char, its not even close as painful as poe

[tacit hemlock]

would anyone be willing to help me with a legendary craft in vc chat?

[wicked plover]

whats your question?

[tacit hemlock]

i found a uniqe that should be really good for my character and I don't want to ruin it

[wicked plover]

what's its name and how much lp does it have

[tacit hemlock]

reowyns fortress, I am playing a rune mage

[wicked plover]

that is a common drop and you can find it with 2lp+ fairly easily

so dont worry about your craft

[tacit hemlock]

ok thx I found it with 2 lp

[wicked plover]

thats still a 50% chance that you dont get the exact affix that you want ^^ so dont sweat it, try your luck 😄

[tacit hemlock]

does the legendary keep the exact roles of the unique?

[wicked plover]

yes

[tacit hemlock]

ok ty

[last tide]

try to get 4 affixes on the exalt that you at least "wouldn't mind" having though

crafted up to t5. you can't craft it more once it's converted to legendary

[ancient pasture]

How is bleed damage applied? Is it similar to PoE where it relies on hit damage? The wiki doesn't say a whole lot

[desert tree]

Don't trust the wiki

Go to lastepochtools.com or tunklabs

[surreal verge]

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

[desert tree]

But for bleed it's not like poe

Bleed has a set base dmg

[surreal verge]

It doesn't rely on hit damage.

[desert tree]

Chance over 100% gives you chance to apply and extra stack

It's affected by more dmg from the skill that applied it (if it states "xxx deals more dmg")

Attribute scaling is also passed down from the skill

[ancient pasture]

Does it scale well in its current state as a primary ailment to build on?

[desert tree]

Usually 4% per attribute

[desert tree]

Yes

You usually want a lot of hits, and lot of chance to apply.

Then you factor in duration and penetration

There are quite a few good bleed builds

[ancient pasture]

you're awesome, thank you for that answer

[desert tree]

Hope you are having fun

[ancient pasture]

For sure. Bought the game mid Jan and have 130+ hours. Obsessed a bit. Runs on a secondary monitor all day lol.

Just eagerly waiting for them to fix hits on bow attacks. Right now anything other than puncture seems super iffy to work with.

[desert tree]

Flurry/MS is bugged
Flurry is bugged
DA is bugged

Puncture has a bug with the bleed consume node iirc

[ancient pasture]

I feel like I have noticed all of the above. Despite this, I still managed to almost compelte all of the regular monoliths. I was using DA with fire shred acid flasks to burn down any rare/unique bosses for a time

I think I may set the class down after today and burn through a Runemaster playthrough before 1.0, we'll see

[desert tree]

So you can enjoy the "good" bugs before they are gone ^^

[ancient pasture]

When you put it like that, it only seems fair I get to see the good ones after living with the bad ones lol

[proven forge]

I'm wrapping up my first playthrough of the campaign on my first character and I'm taking it nice and slow to enjoy it and appreciate the lore. 😄
For 1.0 launch, does anyone know if there's a campaign/leveling "guide" out there that has a list of which NPCs give idol points, which quests need to/should be done, which areas can be skipped, etc? For the first "season" I'd like to rush the campaign but I don't want to miss any of the important things and I haven't memorized which NPCs/quests are the important ones

[desert tree]

You can go to lastepochtools.com

[wicked plover]

there are more side quests that reward skillpoints/idolslots than you can earn

[desert tree]

There is a checklist

[proven forge]

@wicked plover I had no idea!
Thank you @desert tree !

[ancient pasture]

Bottom left corner of the map shows your progress, as mentioned you can earn them from multiple quests

[desert tree]

Other than that, what serfax said. And when you open your world map and look a quest it tell you the reward, so you can choose to do it or not

Imo the fastest way is to do enough side quests that when you are supposed to leave Heobora you have all your idols and passives

Go to do monos

Once you get a temporal sanctum key (and think you can take Julra down) you go do that

You end up in Divine Era Majelka

And you can start the items factions

[candid elm]

This is the checklist that was mentioned. But there's 23 quests that give an extra passive point and you cap at 15. Similarly with Idols you cap at 8 and there's 13 available.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/passives

So it's pretty difficult to not cap. Unless you're skipping a lot. Even if you do, you can always go back later.

[proven forge]

Thank you all for the great info!

[proven forge]

good to know, although i'm probably going the prophecy route since I don't have any friends that play, so the Magic Find might be nice 😛

[runic zinc]

I have a mathy-maths question for anyone here, I hope this is the right place to post it. If I have two of these https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCsCYEZKA, does the stacking work as

(base + additive) * (1 + % increased bonuses) * (1 + 0.02 * ambition stacks)^2

or

(base + additive) * (1 + % increased bonuses) * (1 + 2 * 0.02 * ambition stacks)

[sinful laurel]

More is multiplicative, increased is additive. At full stacks, ambition is a 40% more modifier on your damage, if it's fire or cold.

[steel merlin]

uh prime

[near path]

you won't get a double benefit of Ambition stacks

20 is the limit

[sinful laurel]

Did I do a wrong yak?

[near path]

so equipping two is pointless

[steel merlin]

the answer is that aaaaaand rake answered

[sinful laurel]

Wait did they ask about equipping two??

[steel merlin]

yes

[runic zinc]

yes

[sinful laurel]

Oh. Fuck me

[runic zinc]

I get that I won't get 40 stacks.

[sinful laurel]

Don't do that lol

[runic zinc]

but do they count as two different "more" sources?

[near path]

you won't get the benefit of 20 x2 either

[sinful laurel]

"if I have two of these". Today is not my fucking day

[steel merlin]

having two does nothing

[near path]

if that were the case everybody would be sitting in Black Sun farming quad Throne setups

[sinful laurel]

Right. Holy shit

I want to go to there

[runic zinc]

haa, got it. thanks. 🙂

[near path]

that item is strong enough as it is

[sinful laurel]

Such a good bossing item

[runic zinc]

would be nice if the tooltip said it, like the Singularity.

thanks y'all for the help! much appreciated.

[near path]

Singullity

[buoyant sinew]

singularity could get the throne treatment!

make it a 2x2 and 20-40%

might be ok then

[steel merlin]

Oh iron it says in tooltip

Read the small line after 20 max stacks

[runic zinc]

yeah. i interpreted that as applying to the stacks only. not to the damage lines, just the way it is formatted.

[steel merlin]

Well the damage works on the stacks

[surreal verge]

In light of recent events, petition of "Only people who can read can do feedback and suggestions"

[native sail]

Where do I sign

[buoyant sinew]

false, no one here can read

[native sail]

More reason to sign

[runic zinc]

shrug Most of the tooltips are pretty noob friendly, and it just seems like LE puts a lot of effort to make things pretty clear to those of us who go to “The Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good and Who Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too”

[steel merlin]

i think it isnt a reference to your dilemma

[surreal verge]

No, I'm mostly talking about VERY questionable feedback/suggestions

[runic zinc]

ohh, gotcha. 😁

[steel merlin]

also your question makes sense

those lines really could work together

(if it did it would be your second formula most likely)

[runic zinc]

ok, phew. i'm glad i wasn't totally in left field with my interpretation. but it does make sense from the perspective that them stacking would be pretty crazy good!

[surreal verge]

Oh, the insanity of 4 thrones...

[sinful laurel]

I can read, I apparently just suck ass at it

[runic zinc]

There's extra seats at the school if you want to join me, they're just kind of small 😂

[sinful laurel]

Nah, I don't fit on the bus anymore

They don't let me on

[runic zinc]

LOL

[sinful laurel]

Plus other jokes I can't make here

[unique gate]

What does 10 Weavers Will mean?

[candid elm]

Weavers Will items automatically randomly upgrade as you use them

[urban fog]

to be clear, do increases to health regeneration, affect abilities that drain health? like my Lich and his Drain Life?

[candid elm]

The higher that number, the more it can upgrade. It'll count down as it's used up

[surreal verge]

No, that's leech.

[buoyant sinew]

no only regeneration

"regeneration" "healing" and "leech" are three separate health recovery categories

[sinful laurel]

Well to be clear, they affect it in the sense that Regen will actively fight against degen. But directly no

[surreal verge]

Note that healing effectiveness also doesn't work.

[buoyant sinew]

and all have modifiers that are specific to them

so the precise word used by the effect matters

[urban fog]

i see, the scaling tags dont mention either so it threw me off

[buoyant sinew]

the skill description says leech though

(for drain life)

[urban fog]

i was about to say that, but it would be nice if it was affected by equipment rolls, it should mention it?

[surreal verge]

It does. But leech affixes don't exist.

[buoyant sinew]

increased leech is a thing that exists in a few places

but the tags are only for damage scaling

maybe would be nice if they were used for more things. right now they aren't

[urban fog]

i see, maybe a slight QoL then i suppose. at least to me reading, health regeneration sorta could encompass health leech

but ty for clarification

[candid elm]

If you're constantly doing damage with your Lich, you can stay in Lich Reaper a long time. It's when you can hit anything for a bit that it will drop off. You can pop a potion to give yourself a tiny bit of extra time.

[surreal verge]

JUST to cover bases:
Healing via Potions isn't affected by healing effectiveness either

[urban fog]

about that, assuming you mean the reaper form im using. Drain life, either on its channel or after a kill for a bit, i seem to have a regen buff of sorts, but idk what from. Like i get a few seconds when not casting anything, before i see the hp start draining again

[buoyant sinew]

leech occurs over...3 seconds I think is the default

so you're seeing that

[surreal verge]

leech is given to you over 3 seconds.

[urban fog]

ah so it kinda buffers itself?

[surreal verge]

Kinda.

[buoyant sinew]

drain life is its own thing really cause you have to stand still to channel it. you really need as much leech as possible to survive face tanking

[candid elm]

Yeah I wasn't talking about Drain Life, just the damage leech

[urban fog]

i also dont know how effective this class is, someone here before said it was alright but nothing special. i just didnt wanna run a "pet" build this time so here i am lol - just made it past the story to the monoliths

[candid elm]

Guess I should have specified in Reaper

[surreal verge]

Lich is okay.

[buoyant sinew]

lich in general has some good builds

drain life is a bit meh

[urban fog]

tbh im liking being tanky without much effort compared to other classes ive played

but i sure do feel naked without reaper

the amount of deaths ive had to aura of decay due to mismanagement

[buoyant sinew]

oh no aura of decay

[surreal verge]

Oh no

[buoyant sinew]

stay away from aura of decay

[urban fog]

xD

[buoyant sinew]

it is terrible

[surreal verge]

Not acolyte's worse skill!

[buoyant sinew]

I know it's a cool skill

but it's so bad

wait for buffs

[urban fog]

hey i just went to a build website, this was like 1 of 2 xD

[surreal verge]

Which build is using AoD of all things?

[urban fog]

its been doing okay for me so far, i havent got to the "pushing monolith" thing stage lol

[steel merlin]

mine

[surreal verge]

They should be shot in the toe

Why

Why would you do that

oh my, a bot thingie

hello bot

[steel merlin]

to sustain lich on a poison wandering spirits build

[flint yew]

^this

[surreal verge]

DoT build.
No spirit Plague.
Stab this man!

[urban fog]

you're saying words but idk what it all means xD

there was one other build i saw but it needed a specific staff thing i dont have

cursing shit

[surreal verge]

....What the FUCK is this?

[candid elm]

I was referring to the spell damage leech you get at the beginning of Lich tree before. If you're just doing enough damage, you can stay in Reaper quite a long time. I personally don't like Drain Life

[urban fog]

this build didnt level that, so far i seem to be leeching enough, but tbh, respeccing further back in a tree is annoying xD

[surreal verge]

Who in the absolute fuck wrote this?

[steel merlin]

minmaxrpg

[urban fog]

idk man, i picked a build and started it

[surreal verge]

What the hell am I reading

[urban fog]

give me a build recommendation, that preferably still uses DoT maybe, thats what my gear is so far lol

[surreal verge]

Alright hold on, I'll give you an easy clear skill.

[urban fog]

what i will say in this build, is this damn golem is squishy as shit

always dead

[steel merlin]

well yeah, you shouldnt be using golem with lich

[candid elm]

Hmmm every Reaper build I played used the spell leech

[urban fog]

to clarify, im just following the one build i saw on that website, i see from some opinions its not greta xD

[steel merlin]

also that build uses aura of decay for damage, not for the heal, im baffled

[urban fog]

it got me this far, im sure its fine!

clearly a sleeper build

[drifting glade]

i just lost my drain life/sprit plague/transplant lich

[surreal verge]

Replace your golem for this skill.

Press it once you find a pack of mobs.

Half the map will die soon

[peak oracle]

this website never lets me right click to unspecc stuff, is that normal or im doing something wrong?

[surreal verge]

Build Int

[surreal verge]

SKill nodes? They have to still be legal.

[sinful laurel]

Visual bug, swap back and forth mastery and it should reset

[urban fog]

funnily enough, before i looked up a build, i was using that, funny watching stuff burn

[sinful laurel]

It holds that last point for some reason

Oh for skill nodes idk haha

[urban fog]

on the last epoch tools website looking at builds, does it order them in any way? so far it seems very random

[surreal verge]

This one skill can carry you to empowered monoliths, if built for.

[sinful laurel]

Gonna just stop typing today my fucking god

[surreal verge]

Not really.

[urban fog]

i just picked among this shiny green ones

[steel merlin]

just add "if im reading correctly," to every sentence today

[peak oracle]

wdym legal? i just assumed my base 20 points in Zombies made sense? but i cant remove any of them, so if i make a mistake, i need to restart lol

[candid elm]

Maxroll has a couple Lich guides. They're all somewhat similar with Reaper, Death Seal, Transplant, and most with Bone Curse and a different damage skill. I've tried most of these and they're all ok. Haven't tried the Harvest one. https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides?filter[classes][taxonomy]=taxonomies.classes&filter[classes][value]=acolyte

[sinful laurel]

Iirc, I'm an idiot

[surreal verge]

TLDR:Have to remove from the outside nodes if any.

[urban fog]

ive use maxroll for diablo before. is that more recommended to use for builds for LE too?

[peak oracle]

yeah its the outside nodes they dont let me remove lol

[surreal verge]

Idk, it works for me I just did it

So idk what issue you're having

[steel merlin]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/yakovik/character/Decavika totally normal lich build

[candid elm]

It's ok if you want a written guide. There's also some written guides on LE Tools and a bunch of other builds that may not have guides

[urban fog]

tbh tho, ive been getting some really nice rolls for my current DoT build, this is inconvenient

[candid elm]

If you're having fun, that's all that matters

[urban fog]

dont think they had this weavers will thing before either, pretty neat, only had one tho

i will look at some builds, cos aura of decay is so very awkward

[buoyant sinew]

weaver's will is a pretty new mechanic yep

[urban fog]

other than the bosses, i dont seem to need AoD anyway

[buoyant sinew]

not many uniques use it yet, sounds like we'll get more in 1.0

[urban fog]

for reference i suppose

havent had to worry about void res for like the whole game, i got them fairly early

but tbh, ive had terrible look with boots this run

[urban fog]

kinda wish they both showed a relative voting system or something so i could get an idea if a build is "good" or how it compares and shit

[candid elm]

Thankfully, it is very easy to change your spec in this game

[urban fog]

i saw death seal and it sounded strong and also cool going boom boom

i only have 2 gripes with respecing - even though its basically free to do
doing passives is very manual
waiting for skills to level back up seems to be a bit of a pain

[candid elm]

Yeah it's fun. Just a little annoying that a lot of your damage is tied to that cooldown

[native sail]

The skills gets less annoying as you go

At high levels they're done in like 2 minutes flat

[candid elm]

You'll reach a point where you have minimum level 10 on everything and can re-level a skill in an echo. Maybe two

[urban fog]

something tells me id end up liking the marrow shard one the most, i tend to like having a good basic skill to use

and i liked it early game

[candid elm]

Yeah just the way that build is setup, you're trying to aim a certain way so the splash gets extra hits

You'll have to see if you like that

[urban fog]

either that or id accept harvesting things

unless rip of blood gets less aim reliant if you specialise in it / multi target

[balmy current]

Very random question, where in Windows can my offspring see which Inspiron model his laptop is? The sticker on the back has rubbed off...

[kind imp]

The model of the laptop probably matters less than the specs. The easiest way to get the specs of a Pc that you are able to run software on is by downloading HWInfo64

[proven forge]

Hit the windows key on the keyboard and type "System Information", System Model field should have what you're looking for

[balmy current]

System Info! That's what I was thinking of!!!

[urban fog]

team dxdiag? :'D

[kind imp]

Is there a way on Controller to stop using Teleport directly to a monster when I’m walking towards it? Can I not Teleport through monsters?

[proven forge]

dxdiag is also valid, Sys Info is just the first thing that comes to mind for me for looking but super basic info

[balmy current]

Also, the laptop is having charging issues, so it may not stay on for long enough to download & install something....

But thanks both/all.

[kind imp]

Sounds like it either needs a new charger, or the circuitry for charging the laptop inside the laptop is dead/dying. Or the battery is dead/dying!

[balmy current]

Yeah, either the battery or charging port is dead. If I were still living with them (mid-divorce) I'd take the laptop apart & have a look at the port to see how easy it is to replace.

I'm moderately competant with a soldering iron if necessary

[rare cradle]

MAD ALCHEMIST LADLE how do ppl get this i understand that i drops from the imprisoned exile mages. ive played around 200 and not a single one has dropped so far!
my question is, is the drop area level specific or can it drop from any area level exile mage or is it restricted

[dense root]

you just kill exiled mages

it's a common drop even

[proven forge]

I've gotten one during the campaign around level 36

[dense root]

if you actually killed 200 exiled mages without getting a single ladle then you're just the single least lucky player of the game

[surreal verge]

As long as area level is higher than 17.

[dense root]

congrats on being exceptional

[surreal verge]

Which is a very low bar.

[urban fog]

read through them and have chosen the harvest one. stole the loot filter now just to build some stuff up. ty for your help sir

and thanks to others, this one just had the build attached :'D

[rare cradle]

i literally play every prisoned exile i find and i havent dropped one yet only exalted belts rings and random stuff

[rare cradle]

so my ingame name checks out NEVERLUCKY

[surreal verge]

The only thing we can say is "Luck issue"

[dense root]

wow that's not true we can say whatever we want

i say nonsense all the time

[rare cradle]

i wish i could just buy it from somebody

[dense root]

wait 15 days for mg

[steel merlin]

soon

[sinful laurel]

Poppycock even. Balderdash

[native sail]

Perhaps malarkey

[balmy current]

LETools says it's uncommon.

The in-game profanity filter doesn't let me say any of my favourite words....

[dense root]

i am using the word common in the colloquial sense

like "it's something you'll see a lot"

[hearty pier]

Has anyone else had any issues with Runic Invocation not proccing upon exiting Flame Rush? (I have skilled into the Epilogue node) It seems pretty RNG whether the skill procs or doesn’t at the moment.

[dense root]

i believe you need enough mana to cast it

[hearty pier]

As long as I’m not into negative mana, it should cast, no?

[native sail]

Case by case on triggers. Some do, some don't

[hearty pier]

Im able to cast Flame Rush but I’m not getting the Runic Invocation bit at times

[surreal verge]

Surprisingly some procs have exceptions, this one's one of them

[hearty pier]

Interesting. Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on my mana to see if that’s the issue. If worst comes to worst I’ll provide a clip

[night cave]

Hi everyone!
Does anyone knows if the bleed -> ignite chance on these gloves affects only my character bleed chance or all bleed chance (on a specific skill for example)
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCswDgZiA

[graceful vector]

Hi. Can anyone tell me why I only get unique helmet echoes in Black Sun, but not a single one with shields?

[native sail]

Should be all sources

[night cave]

Wasn't sure, that's very nice

[surreal verge]

All

[night cave]

awesome

[surreal verge]

Luck issue, mostly

[native sail]

^ this

Just bad RNG

[graceful vector]

i had close to 10 in a row, but not a single one with shields :<

or is it always either one and i have to reset it?

[surreal verge]

Nope, pure RNG.

[wide sentinel]

Time to start the riot 2 weeks is too long of a wait

[graceful vector]

are very rare items like rahyeh's light more likely to drop on empowered monoliths?

[wide sentinel]

Yes

Also u never want to farm not empowered monos

Like never ever

[weak canopy]

on 1.0 are all characters being wiped?

[dusky kite]

no

[weak canopy]

So if you level up a character right now? you can just play it in 1.0 and do end game content straight away?

[golden violet]

so i've just completed what's on the right and the old man is gone, what do i do next, where do i accept new quests?

[buoyant sinew]

yes. the difference is that if you make a character now it will be in the legacy realm when 1.0 launches, whereas a character you make after 1.0 can choose legacy or cycle. depends whether you care about this

[weak canopy]

ah oke yeah i wanna play cycle

[golden violet]

afaik legacy realm chars will have access to cycles' content, innit?

[buoyant sinew]

there is no cycle exclusive content for the first cycle

it's just a reset + leaderboard

but the split player base might also matter to you (especially if you want to trade)

[cursive delta]

The further i am from the middle on the echos the better the rewards?

[peak oracle]

mana efficiency node. If its 60%, that means skills cost 60% less at the end of all other modifiers right?

[wicked plover]

yea, so 10 mana cost would be 4

[peak oracle]

tyty

[wicked plover]

baseline no, echo rewards are just what they are, but the further you go ( assuming you start from the middle at 0 ) the more modifiers you will have for x amounts of echo's, so theoretically yes

[woven patrol]

hey guys, is attack speed added from both weapons when dualwielding or just the faster of the two?

[wide sentinel]

neither

if u are talking abt base speed its avarage

[woven patrol]

so the average of the two is considered the base ? okay thanks

[mint crown]

Has anyone done a void knight spell build before, and if so, any tips on doing so?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, multiple. tips depends on specifics, which spells are you planning on?

(or do you want tips on that choice too)

[desert tree]

Stack Vitality, equip a Mad Ladle > Win the game

[mint crown]

Smite for the most part, was planning on using dark rush, the two other void spells you get access to, and Rebuke.

[peak oracle]

Which of those sound right for mana cost?

[buoyant sinew]

• cast speed is your best stat
• if you're using smite then lean on the mana regain on smite node in sentinel base tree so you don't have to get so much mana regen on gear
• abyssal echoes is best specced for single target, clearing with it is whatever. you probably don't need it at all though if you're using smite, especially since it doesn't scale with crit
• devouring orb is kind of the reverse, except it's good at proccing abyssal echoes
• anomaly and volatile reversal are both really good. I would consider using both but at least drop a damage spell for one of them.
• and then yep ladle and win

[mint crown]

So say an option for a build would be
smite dark rush rebuke anomoly and devouring orb
or other similar mixtures?

[buoyant sinew]

sure

[rare cradle]

so i finally unlocked the lvl90 monoliths but the stolen lance and blood frost death monolithts are still greyed out how do i get there or are they lvl 100 only?

[barren kayak]

Do we still have to report traversal bugs somewhere? leapt and stuck now 😛

[hexed vault]

whats the news on trade? I heard you can only trade an item ONCE?

[buoyant sinew]

remember how some of the quest echoes in earlier timelines had you choose between two options? you have to choose the other one. BUT if you unlock empowered you can skip that and just use the waypoints to teleport directly to them

[buoyant sinew]

have a read of https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

but yes no reselling

[balmy current]

It is.

[royal junco]

Is there a way to move multiple items from inv to stash at once or no?

[balmy current]

No, but you can shift click (or ctrl click) them without having to click & drag

[royal junco]

ok thx

[verbal falcon]

is it possible to expand the "storage chest" ?!?

[balmy current]

By buying more tabs? Yes.

[verbal falcon]

where do I buy them?

[balmy current]

Click the + button by the stash tab

[verbal falcon]

that just makes a new category

[balmy current]

There's one below that

[verbal falcon]

... I'm so blind

thanks

[balmy current]

🙂

[verbal falcon]

how many can we buy?

[balmy current]

200

They get expensive

[polar pendant]

is it really 200?

[balmy current]

Yup

[verbal falcon]

200 sounds like it would be enough for my needs (today at least 😄 )

thanks again

[polar pendant]

insert D4 stash space meme here 😄

[balmy current]

At least LE doesn't load everybody's stash on the server to everybody else.

[violet mortar]

can i dual wield as a spellblade?

[desert tree]

Yes

[balmy pasture]

Is it worth buying the deluxe or ultimate edition? What are EPs for? And the other stuff is just cosmetic or even some functional?

[wicked plover]

all just cosmetic stuff, if that's value for you, thats for you to decide

[violet mortar]

thanks amigo

[balmy pasture]

I understand. What are Epoch points for?

[wicked plover]

for the cosmetic shop

[balmy pasture]

Okay 🙂 I'll ask. I guess you don't know if the Upgrades will be available forever or if it's limited? Thanks! 🙂

[desert tree]

99% sure they will stick around for a little while

[wicked plover]

the steam shop editions? they are not gonna change for the near future

[balmy pasture]

Okay thank you 🙂 So I'll buy the standard and see how I like it and possibly buy the Deluxe or Ultimate

[hidden marten]

does it make sense to start the game now or wait for the release, does that matter?

[balmy pasture]

Oh, and one more thing 😄 If I buy the pre-order, can I play the beta right away or do I have to wait for the final game?

[desert tree]

Can play now

[desert tree]

The game rn has quite some bugs, so you can decide to save your first impression of the game for 1.0. For when the game will be in its best state (I believe).
Or you can play now and start learning.
Up to you

[hidden marten]

but like the world doesnt get reseted on launch or something

[proper shoal]

i would try it out so you can ease ur way into 1.0, get acclimated with the game and builds u wanna try

makes it easier to play on release imo

[desert tree]

[lusty rover]

I'm attempting to build a hammer/shield throw forge guard. How much headache am I setting myself up for?

[desert tree]

Pick one skill

And to answer your question, quite a big one ^^

[lusty rover]

:\

[desert tree]

It can be done, but you will need commitement

[lusty rover]

my intent was shield throw but i hit an issue with dmg output due to the cd

i tossed in hammer to supplement

[desert tree]

You cn remove the CD and make it scale from throwing Attack Speed

You can get way more AS than CDR

[lusty rover]

oh...i've been trying to scale off throw dmg

[desert tree]

I mean yes

But you can also get AS

[lusty rover]

makes sense

is it possible to have a single target to eat all the chains/ricochets?

[desert tree]

No but you can bounce of allies (MA or Ring of Shields)

[lusty rover]

oh snap

[astral tiger]

Hey guys!
I need some help with the empty prefix, I'm playing the Beastmaster Scorpion, Swipe is my main attack skill. is it better to go melee damage or melee physical damage?

[lusty rover]

will it prefer enemy over ally?

[desert tree]

Not sure

I think it just goes to the closest

[lusty rover]

hmm... I'll have to play with it.

[mint crown]

WAIT YOU CAN DIP INTO THE OTHER MASTERIES?

[desert tree]

Thats why unfortunately Hammer is mechanically better

[desert tree]

Yes up until the chain

[native sail]

Up to the chain yeah

[desert tree]

25 firsts points

[mint crown]

Thats SO COOOOOL

It's probably impractical for some builds BUT STILL. +D+

[lusty rover]

i want shields because nonsensical mental rp

[desert tree]

It look so cool

[buoyant sinew]

it's incredibly rare for builds not to do it

[mint crown]

what about marksman builds tho

[desert tree]

99% if the builds dip every where

[native sail]

Definitely on MM

MM needs a bunch of stuff from the top of BD tree

[desert tree]

I tried a Void Version a long time ago

[native sail]

Glancing Blow is huge

[desert tree]

I look so fancy

[lusty rover]

@mint crown
example of what i'm working on

[mint crown]

aaah, I see

[mint crown]

whats the max points we have to work with?

[dense root]

113

[balmy pasture]

Okay i go buy standard pre-order 🙂

[mint crown]

nice

[radiant fossil]

is there a way to see which items are new in your inventory?

[balmy pasture]

I didn't see any spoilers just a thriller and I believe it is and will be a great game. I bought bg3 in December and that led me to this game.

[native sail]

I think they're slightly highlighted?

[desert tree]

They should glow a bit

But its not very bright

[radiant fossil]

don't look any different to me

[desert tree]

It definitely can use some extra brightness

[radiant fossil]

I don't see any difference at all

the lower blue belt is new, no difference:

new as in I just picked it up

[crude silo]

is the droprate for keys different? i have so many temp sanctum but no soulfire (which id rather have...)

[balmy pasture]

The game only has 18gb Pog! That's quite a change from bg3 which has 150gb 😄

[stuck eagle]

i can't play the game any ideas?

[lusty rover]

start with basics, turn your pc on

[stuck eagle]

brother were passed the part of turning off and turning on simple it tech

legit i go to connect to the game and connect online and the game force closed i just got the game

[lusty rover]

what is the game doing or not doing?

[stuck eagle]

already verified the files off of steam re-installed the game as well

[cedar locust]

Supersecret 'I'm-not-actually-here' trouble shooting - Try picking a different server on the log-in screen. Make sure it's not a memory issue by closing everything else.

[stuck eagle]

tried different servers still the same thing force close

[cedar locust]

On character select?

[stuck eagle]

im legit in general and willing to show people

[lusty rover]

I'm trying the forum

[cedar locust]

No I believe you, just trouble shooting! Using a VPN has proved helpful for some players with this issue. If you do not have the ability to purchase a VPN, Cloudflare Warp is a free VPN that has been tested by the community.

[stuck eagle]

i've been wanting to try this game

[toxic echo]

Rng be rng

[stuck eagle]

but lets say i even get vpn and it still does this i legit got this game thinking my last pc was the problem for me not able to play and legit just built a whole new rig for this game i'

Can I ask where you're playing from?

[hidden marten]

cant i change it?

[cedar locust]

Nope

[hidden marten]

💀

[lusty rover]

what are you trying to assign it to?

[pliant kite]

I am curious, I wonder what happens if you are attempting an Echo and finish all the nodes, but fail the boss so many times that you have run out of nodes and don't have enough progress to complete the boss. Does it reset, or is it just you can never go into Quest 3?

[hidden marten]

move/interact

[stuck eagle]

yea this forum yall threaded isn't the experincing im having legit it'll say connecting and then the game closes even offline mode

[cedar locust]

There are ways to do it but none I can share, you can look on the Forums if this is a 'must' for you to play

[hidden marten]

it just feels odd this way

[stuck eagle]

i'm legit in the general voice channel willing to show you guys so you can be like oh this is different

[native sail]

The web resets whenever corruption changes and even if you die 1,000 times on Orobyss, killing him will reset the web no matter what. So you can never actually "run out" of nodes.

[stuck eagle]

it'll be 10x times easier to show you guys and explain versus typing over this

[cedar locust]

This sounds like a Unity crash or memory issue/leak, close everything else, open task manager then load Steam/Last Epoch. Clean driver installs might help too.

If you still crash then reaching out to to our Support Team with your player.log file and system information attached to the ticket is the next best step.

[stuck eagle]

how can i attach a file if the game crashed before i can show lol

[native sail]

The log files are always generated

[cedar locust]

Your log files start from the moment you hit play on steam

Player.log files can be found here and your System Information can be found here

[stuck eagle]

i mean i just made a character today and was like yea time to play, and the just crashes everytime i connect to offline or online

[peak oracle]

Volatile zombies has 60 base phys dmg and 60 base fire dmg. If i convert to necro, its gonna be 120 base necro right?

[pliant kite]

But the thing I am building is Stability, not corruption.

[cedar locust]

You'll still have .log files to send in

[native sail]

I understand that. All "lines" of echoes end in an orobyss fight, so worst case scenario you can always reset your web

Which will allow you to get stability once more

[pliant kite]

I do a node to get Stability, if I die on the boss I lose Stability and I need to do another node to get enough Stability to be able to attempt again. If I fail that boss in that particular echo, I need to do another node, and rinse repeat. Are the number of nodes infinite?

[native sail]

Functionally, yes

[stuck eagle]

fine i'll send log files, but im telling thats not the issues as well

[pliant kite]

Okay - I am not getting it, but okay.

[crude silo]

You gotta troubleshoot to get an answer, its not gonna just come out of nowhere friend

[native sail]

Basically, your web of nodes is "finite" but they are always capped off by fights against a boss (not the quest boss) which reset the web so you can "build" it again

[crude silo]

Hope you get a solution soon 👍

[hearty owl]

do you guys think they'll run a sale b4 launch?

[native sail]

They will not

[cedar locust]

With the files you send in the Support team will be able to look deeper than I can and offer more advice!

[native sail]

That's confirmed

[pliant kite]

And if you can't kill the boss? And need to just keep doing nodes? You can just keep doing nodes forever?

[near path]

also it is effectively impossible to hit a cliff so hard that you keep infinitely failing the boss

[stuck eagle]

where abouts do i go for the lg files through via steam files?

[native sail]

I promise you, at least one of those bosses will be killable since his moveset is different in each fight and there's some that are basically nothing

[cedar locust]

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\ - make sure 'hidden files' can be seen

[pliant kite]

I kind of am wondering if I am there, with the L75 Lagon. Because of visual impairment and just so much on the screen. I have been rewatching my recording, and I can not see all the effects even at half speed, while just watching. So ... at the moment I am trying to study everything I can to try to be able to predict rather than react, because otherwise this is a brick wall for disabled players.

[flint yew]

you should be able to ignore pretty much everything except the beam and the large aoe he does as long as your defenses are in order

you dont have to play touhou with the waves

[near path]

there are exactly 2 mechanics to avoid in that fight if you have normal defenses

[pliant kite]

It's the AoE that is killing me, because I can't see it in the blur. It's okay, I need to figure out how to cope. This is why I stopped playing co-operative gaming, because I couldn't perform at a level required that was fair on the other members of my team.

[near path]

the big white slam circle, and the moving laser

[stuck eagle]

its says unavailabe

[flint yew]

try focusing on watching the boss itself instead of the ground, he has very large tells

[cedar locust]

The player and player-prev files just need to be copied and zipped into a folder 🙂 You may have to give yourself permission to do that, but windows should automatically prompt if that's the case

[pliant kite]

I have been trying to do that in the video, unfortunately every time there is a lightning flash, I am actually blinded for a bit, so unless I am watching on half speed, I can't see the eye properly anyway. I tried dropping the contrast to make it so that I wouldn't be blinded, and that just means the eye is invisible because it's dark on dark.
I might need to try to load some form of colour modification that brings out the saturation of red or something.

[stuck eagle]

yall want the prev and current?

it saying alot of stuff is missing

[flint yew]

you dont have to look at the eye, his entire head does a pull back windup and his body moves in the direction he is going to start the beam

[cedar locust]

Yup, Support will let you know if they need anything else 🙂

[stuck eagle]

so i have to submit via email?

[verbal falcon]

so.. just reached Monoliths and killed the first blessing boss.

Does mob density scale with difficulties or is this it?

[dusky cosmos]

They will scale with the corruption scaling.

it will be much harder, sometimes "normal" mobs gonna kill you because they got huge modifier ^^

[native sail]

Mob density is a WIP, it will hopefully never be PoE levels of density, but they do it by hand per map, so it's not a fast process.

[near path]

don't spread misinformation. There is no wording that says mob density scales with corruption

[native sail]

Also this ^
Density does not scale with corruption

[dusky cosmos]

Oh sorry, I didnt read the density, sorry, I mean the overall damage for example

[verbal falcon]

POE density is probably not the goal.. but D3 density?

[dusky cosmos]

But also, with 1.0 and beyond they will work on the density status

[near path]

density is WIP as Deias mentioned above. It's already been increased over time, notably in 0.9.2 (the last "major" patch)

[verbal falcon]

my neurons are firing when killing hordes of monsters.. which I thought was in the DNA of an ARPG. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

[native sail]

Shrug. Density needs to be a balancing act rn cuz corruption can make things very lethal and they don't want to overtune density to the point where playing becomes impossible

[near path]

LE's design focuses on individual mob types and their movesets, which is honestly quite nice

[verbal falcon]

to each their own I guess

[native sail]

My hatred for Profane Fleshes is unmatched

[dusky cosmos]

Yea super nice to get 5 meteor's from the winged people xD

[near path]

you'll have a new appreciation for difficulty when an otherwise puny horde of Axe Throwers tears you to shreds before you reach them because you stacked too many speed and damage mods

[native sail]

Emerald Nagasas

[toxic echo]

diamond matrons are the worst

[near path]

what I hate about Matrons is if you don't kill them before that firestorm goes off, you need to gtfo because it will keep going

[faint cape]

Yeah, hard to prevent the fire beam

[toxic echo]

always have the protection aura, and full heals everything you either burst them down from range, or pray when you are melee

[balmy pasture]

Hey, what's a necromancer doing? Reviving corpses?

Are they creating zombie armies?

[buoyant sinew]

there's no reviving corpses in LE

[native sail]

Mostly commanding minons of the undead variety. Zombies, skeletons, wraiths, big ol golems.

[buoyant sinew]

they're creating undead minions from (somewhere) and also have a strong theme of harming or sacrificing minions for benefit

[balmy pasture]

Is that good?

[native sail]

They're pretty comfy, I'd say they're one of the most well balanced classes right now

[balmy pasture]

I'd like to play Necromancer but I don't know if it's strong or not 😄 Because that's what I want too 😄

[native sail]

They're more than capable of completing all content if that's what you want

[toxic echo]

necro has some of the best builds right now. but lots of changes in 1.0 likely changing that to an extent

[dense root]

it's reasonably powerful but you have to understand that power in last epoch is ephemeral while the taint on your soul from using such vile magics will follow you all the way to the pearly gates. if Saint Peter denies you entry remember i told you so

[balmy pasture]

Balanced means what? What does it mean that something is not balanced? Is it too strong? Or is it bad to play? Or something else?

[dense root]

balanced means not too good or too bad

[balmy pasture]

Okay 😄

[native sail]

They have reasonable power within an acceptable item budget. It's not broken OP and it's not underperforming.

[balmy pasture]

Okay thanks 🙂 What class is the OP for the example?

[dense root]

bladedancer, runemaster

lich if you like abusing bugs

some would say beastmaster

[native sail]

Bladedancer in a specific subset of builds (low life ward builds), Runemaster just... in general. A very bugged out Lich build.

[dense root]

tbf regular life bladedancer is also pretty nuts

like it's only really worse than low life and ladle rm

[balmy pasture]

I guess the lich will be fixed in 1.0 no?

[verbal falcon]

fecking lowlifes

[native sail]

Def

[dense root]

still has great clear speed, adequate boss damage, and high ehp

[native sail]

Idk. Lifebased BD EHP is actually less than we thought. Like 30k, maybe 40k tops.

[dense root]

we have pretty clear evidence that it's high enough to hit like 2-3k corruption while playing a melee skill

and it's not like bd lacks ranged options that would do a little better

[native sail]

Sure, so can Sentinel though

And we aren't saying Sentinel is OP

[dense root]

i'm not sold on 3k corruption sentinel but also my point here is that that was a worse version of bd that leo played because he liked shadow cascade

[native sail]

Worse in the sense of damage/danger. It was near minmaxed for life, regardless of skill pick

[dense root]

yes but melee vs ranged matters a lot for survivability

[native sail]

That's not EHP though

[dense root]

like 30-40k ehp melee vs 30-40k ehp ranged is meaningfully different

[native sail]

I disagree

[dense root]

rip you

[mint crown]

out of curiosity, does no mana cost passives still effect puncture even after you've gotten the mirages upgrade or

[faint cape]

If it has a mana cost, it is no longer a 0 cost skill

[mint crown]

fair enough

[buoyant sinew]

@mint crown the reverse also works by the way, if you drop the cost of a skill that isn't usually free to 0, then it will count as 0 cost for anything that cares about that

[mint crown]

mmm

[undone trout]

Is there any way to open this chest?

[toxic echo]

No

[vale flax]

can rune of ascendance work for mad alch ladle or are the mages considered bosses?

[toxic echo]

They are bosses

Anything with that big fancy bar at the top is a.boss

[exotic estuary]

Thought mad alch ladle was a general drop.

[dense root]

nope

exiled mage only

[toxic echo]

Regular ladle is. Mad is not

[exotic estuary]

Ah, gotcha.

[dense root]

maybe when we get madder alchemist's ladle it will be a world drop

[undone trout]

Is this a common problem or this is just my luck?

[dense root]

yes

[toxic echo]

Last map change they messed up a couple chest spawns. End of the day not a big deal tbh

[dense root]

it is a huge deal and i expect financial compensation

[toxic echo]

[minor vigil]

What changed this patch to make low life good

[faint cape]

Just more support for it added consistently, it has been great for a long time though

[minor vigil]

Hmmm I remember it being pretty off meta in .9

Maybe I'm mistaken

[toxic echo]

Experimental affix on gloves was huge. And cleaver made it so every class has access to int. Both kinda broke it

[remote warren]

yo how do i fix this constant crash in the same spot in the armory

[faint cape]

It was meta in 0.9, now it's just uber meta lol

[remote warren]

cant progress in my game i keep crashing on the same spot 8 times now

[faint cape]

Have you tried verifying the game files through Steam?

[remote warren]

yep

did re install too

nothing seems to work

also deleted that file

[brave path]

that is weird havent seen that one...id report the bug in game on the character that crashes...and sadly you might need to make a new character

[fickle oasis]

Hello I haven't played in a long time - so is there a marketplace of sorts now to trade items between players?

[buoyant sinew]

not yet but in two weeks when 1.0 comes out, yes

[fickle oasis]

Oh I see okay thank you

[buoyant sinew]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

read this to get all the info

[brave path]

if you choose the merchants guild*

[acoustic thicket]

Potentially stupid question regarding Factions and playing in a group. Is there any disadvantage of playing with members of the other Faction? Do you still earn Favor/Reputation when in a group of other Faction players?

[faint cape]

No, not really. One notable thing is if you are all the same faction, you don't have to worry about faction reqs on gifted items. Aside from that, it doesn't matter at all

[rough reef]

Whats the best way to get "Mad Alchemist's Ladle"? it says from Exiled mages event i have done like 70 and not seen 1 yet

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks. Safe to say that if nobody in the group has a particular interest in trading that everyone going Fortune would be the move?

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you giys don't want to trade, CF is definitely the way to go

[marsh salmon]

never played a game with a loot filter I started using it around level 40

idk if im using it right found so many yellow items

[wicked plover]

if you see items that you wanna see, you are doing it right

maybe dont forget about idols, you might want some of those
and you can have multiple exalted affixes on one item, maybe add another rule for =>2 affixes t6

[marsh salmon]

makes sense

i do be forgetting about the idols at times

[wicked plover]

if this is your first run through maybe add another rule for t6 affixes you want to use in your build

going straight to t7 is a bit restrictive

[brave path]

you will typically want to restrict yellows i think around like lvl 20s or so when you start to get more of them...and start showing specific types of items and affixes

what i have (hand made) on one of my characters

this will hide all rare items unless they have those 3 specific affixes i have listed...it hides all normal/magic items even if they have any of the affixes listed below it

and then everything above that hide normal/magic items will show/recolor any item with specific affixes and that

[wind oak]

does LP go to a maximum of 2?

or 4

[brave path]

4

[wind oak]

how does slamming actually work, it's temporal sanctum?

and how does the rank of the dungeon affect it

[brave path]

yah temportal sanctum...and idk personally about dungeon rank affecting it...maybe someone else can answer that part

but essentially you take an item you want with 4 affixes and you combine it into one item...if your unique has lets say 2 LP then it will destroy the normal item and put two of the 4 stats randomly onto the unique

[wind oak]

does it make sense to removal the mods first if you have any you don't want?

is removal evenly weighted among all affixes?

[kindred wagon]

is there a way to disable auto entering new zone while running around transition?

[brave path]

it has to have 4 affixes on the item

[kindred wagon]

there're a lotta missclick while campaign
