the devs haven't actually put out a hard date for how long a cycle will last, except for that estimated "3-4 months maybe"
for all we know they might announce that the cycle will only last 2 months, so all we can do is wait

[amber cedar]

Indeed, but current best guess based on "3-4 months" is that this cycle has 2-3 months to go, and there's no other info? Trying to decide which builds to try this cycle and which to put off to next cycle

difficult choice, plenty of fun stuff to try. hope you find a good one (and perhaps its not a forge guard, but if you like that fantasy you go man)

[amber cedar]

Well done, you sent me a link to the source I already referenced, tremendous help, thanks a lot 👏

[abstract hill]

how do you survive the exploding black hole ?

[latent parrot]

switch to the other timeline using the dungeon ability, by pressing D (assuming you are talking about temporal sanctum)

[abstract hill]

no i was talking about orybiss or whatever his name is

[latent parrot]

orobyss has a couple of black holed themed abilities; gotta be a bit more specific. im guessing either the homing black holes (explodes a short whole after contact, so you can touch one then move away to safety), or the 3 large exploding black holes, which you simply don't stand near and dodge the projectiles

[cosmic mortar]

does anyone knows a workaround the issue were I get infinite loading after joining a friend ?

[grim kraken]

yo guys i need a decent boss kill skill for falconer. i have already nice clear but lacking single target, any suggestions?

[dawn willow]

dive bomb

[grim kraken]

yeap i already have dive bomb and falcon strikes with decent minion damage, need a spam skill to be clear

aerial assault?

[tame cosmos]

i have a problem why some idols dont give me bonuses i mean in some places for idols

[sterile quail]

You're welcome

[candid elm]

If you push M key and look in the lower left, what does it say for Idol unlocks? If it's not 8/8 then you can do a couple more of those to unlock the rest. There's more idol unlock quests available than you need to cap, list here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/idols

[tame cosmos]

i have 8/8

[sand sigil]

People. Any idea of when achievements and challenges will be added to the game? 1.1?

[covert fossil]

How high corruption could I reasonably reach using frost claw lightning build if I DONT have + levels to frost claw?

[candid elm]

Ok that's all of the unlocks, what's the issue you're having?

[tame cosmos]

some slots dont give bonuses after relog other slots dont give bonuses

[candid elm]

Oh there's some display issues with the character sheet after the patch. Some people were talking about having negative resistances, endurance, etc. It may be related to that.

[tacit lintel]

can someone help me why i have -80% lightning resistance and -264% poison ?

[sterile quail]

It's a visual UI glitch since after the latest patch.

[crimson hemlock]

I've completed all the bosses around the empowered island, first time i've achieved (also one handed, due to physical impairment, really excited and pleased), but i cannot click the chest in middle to swap to empowered. Do i need to be 90, I'm 89

[spring meteor]

Clear-wise, I think you should be fine even up to 300. The build struggles with single target on beefy targets like bosses until you get other LP slams elsewhere in place. I'm still farming for my frost claw relic.

[clever fern]

Dumb question but how do I unlock the blessing at lvl 100? I already did corrupted monolith lvl 100 once, it didn't unlock the lvl 100 blessing.

[candid elm]

Try this https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216710846806229072 if that doesn't work, try warping between the 3x level 90s until the thing in the middle starts blinking.

[candid elm]

If it offered you a Grand Blessing, that's the Empowered version with a higher value range. If you didn't get the one you wanted, you can keep trying the boss.

[dusky halo]

are the gates in lightless armor always in same spot

[lapis crescent]

Anyone else having issues with Echoes after the patch? I played with my Hubby and we were not getting drops or xp. Also the dead corpses were still standing. Just wondering if there was something I needed to do on our end to maybe help this. Thank you!

[spring meteor]

Some prompt you as soon as boss is dead. Some timelines you need to talk to an NPC in the arena after the boss is dead to trigger the option. If its the 2nd case, you can re-run it as it doesnt count as completed.

[crimson hemlock]

@candid elm thanks, will try

[clever fern]

I get the prompt but the blessing is still locked for whatever reason.

[candid elm]

The dungeon maps are semi-randomized. The blocked paths move around and which spots has the doors moves around.

[spring meteor]

You're thinking the 5th option then. Thats not a blessing being locked. Thats your 5th OPTION locked. That unlocks at 200+ corruption.

[clever fern]

thanks

[worn dawn]

for lighting marksman is it better to use red ring for both slots

[candid elm]

Are you referring to the number of choices you're offered? Regular gives 3 choices. Empowered gives 4 choices. 200+ Corruption gives 5 choices. It's the same Blessings, just more choices. Damn this slow mode is killing me : (

[fluid lantern]

Fastest way to get more corruption is to just do boss and save up gaze or keep doing orobyss and resetting?

[dusky halo]

felt like the gattes were almost every last 5 runs in top left thats why

[clever fern]

Yeah I didn't know about the 200 corruption one, I need that one for my build

[spring meteor]

Generally, get 2 gazes and take the corruption bonus. It starts having diminishing returns starting on 3rd gaze and the DR steeps down further.

[kindred eagle]

is there any thing that determines mobs type on a echo or just completely random? its crazy at higher corruption some mobs are just insane, while others are a joke

[fluid lantern]

thank you!

[spring meteor]

You can still get it without going to 200. Theres way more than 5 blessings available for a monolith so even if you unlock the 5th option, you still have a chance of not getting what you want.

[clever fern]

I see, still, going to 200 doesn't really matter (since im doing the gazes anyways).

[spring meteor]

There's some 'thematic' mob types based on tileset, but even that gets RNG rotated a bit. Its more than likely you got an echo modifier that made some beefy/hurt rather than the mob type tho.

[candid elm]

The extra choices can just help you find a certain one faster. But it's the same Blessing pools with 4 choices and with 5 choices.

[clever fern]

I see, thanks for the help fellas.

[lusty patrol]

Is there a way to fast level up alts ?

[undone gate]

Any word on if Family Sharing will be re-enabled?

[hybrid arch]

game casually crashes when i kill boss that drops like 20 items from prophecies, idk is there any way to "fix" it besides not taking many prophecies on 1 boss lol

[raven tulip]

can we please have more Obsidian Resonance drop rate?

[candid elm]

No news so far. Maybe with the new Steam Family thing that's in the Steam Beta that is replacing Family Sharing, we'll see it come back. The Steam Family thing would let them ban both the shared account and the main account, which was the issue with Family Sharing before. They'd ban the shared account, couldn't touch the main account, and the gold sellers would just share with a new account to bypass the ban.

[quaint badger]

"+% increased damage per arrow with multishot"
does this increase the damage of each arrow (duh lol)
or does this mean it gets that % bonus to the full attack for each arrow the attack fires (so more arrows = better) (if that makes sense)

[stoic elbow]

can someone explain to me how I have -38% poison resistance? I have no gear piece that removes it. Is it a visual bug or something?

[cunning tiger]

Do greater lenses work in accessory telescope? I have relic lens, quantity greater lens and attempts greater lens. And Its always one time prophecy with "standard" amount of rewards

[sterile quail]

Yes it's a visual UI bug since last patch.

[stoic elbow]

how can I check the legit one, so I know how much I have, cause apparently I have -100 movement speed also haha

[sterile quail]

I guess you'll have to whip out the calculator and check all your pieces of gear and idols and do some addition.

[wooden kindle]

is lightless arbor buggy? triplicate items doesnt work on unique... and 2x duplicate uniques does only 1 duplicate... it was 2 same uniques instead of 3

[cunning tiger]

import ur char in last epoch planner

[candid elm]

Hopefully they put out a hotfix for it soon.

[dawn warren]

is the paladin mastery bugged or i don't understand it?
aren't you supposed to have 100% increased phys,fire and lightning damage at full health?
because i don't see that in numbers

[peak viper]

can you buy any lense that gives a better chance to give weavers will items? (The icon is a body armour but its not really a body armour) so does that work, anyone tried?

[fervent nebula]

So... something I've kind of been feeling as of late is just how frequent oneshots are especially after a certain level

[cerulean mulch]

can anyone help me with figuring out how to do the legendary potentials on my items?

[latent parrot]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/legendary-items-crafting-guide

[sterile quail]

You need an exalted item with 4 affixes on it, and just smash it with your unique. 1 LP = 1 random affix is pulled into the unique, and 4 = 4 pulled. 1-3 is random

[latent parrot]

and what is that certain level to you?

[stiff nimbus]

Anyone know if there's a fix for seeing the player healthbar in offline mode?

[cerulean mulch]

so is the 1-4 only from one item or do i put an item in for each one? if its only one item can i change whats already on the item with another t1-5 and should i upgrade all the t1s to t5s or higher?

[viscid lava]

Does fire resist just not work? 90 fire res + 3k ward + 2.5k hp and im still getting one shot by anything fire related

[sterile quail]

If you have a unique with 1 legendary potential, it will pull 1 of 4 random affixes off of an exalted item. 4 LP will pull 4 of them off the exalted item. And if they are T6-T7 affixes, it will will pull them with those exact stats. And yes, it's a one shot deal. You put in one unique with 1-4 LP, and one exalted item with 4 affixes, and smash them. You can't do it any other way.

[latent parrot]

what corruption / what is your armor / what are your other resists / what are you other defense layers

[fervent nebula]

For most of my classes? Around level 50-60, that's when I start encountering things where hearing the stun sound is usually accompanied by me instantly flopping over and dying.

(I'm level 83 now, and that still happens somewhat frequently where something just instantly kills me out of the blue.)

[visual violet]

Can someone explain to me what the best way is to properly "target farm" a monolith? I can't seem to figure out when it's best to reset the monolith via doing the questline, increasing corruption, and when to keep looking for the echoes I need. Is there a golden rule of thumb or any advice for a fairly new player?

[latent parrot]

what are your defenses and stats looking like

[viscid lava]

180cor / 81ele res / 77 phys / 56 poison/ 126 nec/ 87 void/ armor is understandably low at 625-18%/ 0 block stats/ 1045 stun avoid/ 505% ward ret/ 20% end+ 533 end thresh / 57% crit avoid

[thorn temple]

do i have to do the dungeon everytime to do the legendary crafting?

[tacit urchin]

before i use my affixes on my gear do i need to make sure its the affixes i want thats alread on the gear?

[fervent nebula]

28% is the lowest I got in physical, I've 992 HP with a base ward value of 785 and 1154 (34%) physical armour.

[strong iris]

yes

[thorn temple]

bruh.....

[sterile quail]

Just do it at T1 and blast through

[strong iris]

at T1 you can only craft items with level-requirement of 50 or lower tho. keep that in mind

[spring meteor]

This works, until you need to slam a higher level unique. Then it doesn't work.

[sterile quail]

Fair enough, but just blast through the lowest you can then. And yes, it's a bit tedious, but realisticly, how often do you have to do it anyway? Collect up enough gear to do several smashes and do them all in one go

[white canyon]

I can't choose between falconer or marksman

[thorn temple]

that's pretty bad game design imo. like the boss isn't like that hard but like is it really needed to do this everytime? feels like waste of time.

[sterile quail]

They are both great. Play the one you enjoy the most.

[white canyon]

I like fast shooting but I love the idea of having a bird and such

[thorn temple]

i think one time for each tier is good, if you defeat it on that tier you should able to unlock it. that's my way of doing of game design.

[tacit urchin]

im following some maxroll guide on what to do starting out on monolith and he suggests armour thats 20 levels above me with t5 affixes..

[latent parrot]

this is considered low overall for 180c. not maxing your crit avoid is also a sure way to get stunlocked to death. embermages/ lightmage meteors at 180c can casually crit for 3k+. best to to try and avoid telegraphs and enemy attacks instead of tanking them, especially DoT breath attacks. even at 15k ward with my dragorath spark charge RM on 300c, i still actively practice avoiding enemy telegraphs

[sterile quail]

With falconer, that I play, your bird does an overwhelming amount of your total damage, but in explosive arrow, you do the majority of the damage. It's all about how you want to play i guess.

[strong iris]

welcome to RPGs mate. thats the grind we are here for

[thorn temple]

LMFAO okay jokes aside this feels least rpg game i played.

[spring meteor]

I mean, I guess if thats your opinion. I guess im not too much keen on making everything streamlined and get done without much work.

[sterile quail]

Then you couldn't have played many arpgs at all. The grind is what it's all about.

[viscid lava]

i was hoping it wasnt a skill issue but it seems to be the case, i'll work on my defense stats and avoiding stuff tyvm for your time

[latent parrot]

this is very low. almost everything does physical damage, so capping physical is really important. e.g. monster auto attacks. your overall HP+ward is also not sufficient in avoiding stuns. also make sure you max out your crit avoid/ reduced damage from crits. if you are unable to improve your defense layers, then you have to practice not standing in the way of danger and dodging enemy attacks. almost everything in the game is avoidable, more so with better movement speed (aim for 40% at least, it greatly increases your mobility and chances for survival)

[strong iris]

try to get your blessings perfectly rolled. thats when you would like to only run one dungeon^^

[rose harbor]

is it a bug that "Dreadful Horde" and "Giant Zombie" for Volatile Zombie nodes cancel out? I can't seem to summon multiple giant zombies, but the cooldown still fires

[thorn temple]

same goes to every dungeon endless maze having to go floors after floors. at least let me get to the boss so i dont need to deal with maze. just honestly feels like not fun to do everytime just for upgrade for roll that might not even be good? like imagine having to do that for crafting rune. that's not fun

[fervent nebula]

It feels like I most often than not die to a single hit whenever I do. Like it's all or nothing and then something does a long range hit with something, or I get hit across the map by something shot by those points of interest and what have you >_>

[dawn warren]

i mean it's a dungeon not a boss gauntlet
what kind of dungeon will that be if you go through the door of the dungeon straight to boss

[strong iris]

if you dont like it, its probably the wrong game-genre for you

[sterile quail]

True

[thorn temple]

well a good dungeon would be able to have some challange to it not be a maze lol

[latent parrot]

simply pay attention to the telegraph and dodge. it is very doable.

Unless you are severely lagging in latency, then you can't do much about it besides upgrading your internet and making sure to use ethernet instead of wifi.

[spring meteor]

Yeah like why have the dungeon at all amirite. Should let me just fart out the perfect exalt with a click of a button and slam it while I'm 1 shotting 6969 corruption boss with my walking simulator build.

Sarcasm aside, agree on the barriers. They are removing a chunk of those barriers eventually.

[strong iris]

do it at T4 than. thats a bit more challenging imo

[sterile quail]

A maze is a challenge though, is it not? 🙂

[thorn temple]

to be fair that's how ARPG game is like. you legit pretty much kill after kill... that's kinda the point of the game is it not? if not then im clearly not playing right and should be playing not to kill? hmmmm

[strong iris]

"6969 corruption". you need a good build to still oneshot everything there. and bosses you prob wont oneshot at all

[thorn temple]

eh ill figure it out when i get there. just not fun maze to do dungeon. i honestly find Monolirth WAY more faster and rewarding than dungeon just sucks that just having to do upgrade for legendary is dungeon connected. that's all

[strong iris]

than go for a build that doesnt use uniques?

[sterile quail]

Save up uniques and exalteds, and then head in there when you have a bunch so you can do multiple at the same time. Easy enough to cure your headaches about having to go through the dungeon.

[thorn temple]

must be why i see people prefer Monolith more and see more in plays than dungeon for end game purpose and only time i see it being played is legit sole puporse of legendary upgrade or some kind of challange complate on faction quest. that's about it

[dawn warren]

there are uniques that drop from dungeons only

[latent parrot]

that is simply how the game is designed, and there is inherent value in having different experiences for different activities. if everything was the same, then you run into the complain in the similar vein. "everything is the same, it's boring"

[thorn temple]

pretty much the plan just hoped it was one time for each tier but i was wrong. in my opinion for end game purposes this is just boring lol

[strong iris]

thats cause you only go in this dungeon for your upgrades, lol? ofc you spend more time farming for the right unique with LP and the fitting exalted item

[sterile quail]

I'm saying this in a very neutral and kind way, but if you find the gameplay loop boring, then maybe this kind of game istn't for you? Almost every game has some grievance for most people, and you just have to either accept it and get on with it, or go play something else that's more in line with what you want to do.

[thorn temple]

sorry i meant specifically for this dungeon to do for solo purpose of upgrade that's really all. other dungeons are fun and simple to do. not a fun of maze but never felt the need to do dungeon for it unless as others said its for unique drop but dungeon itself is FINE just not when it's for upgrades. i mean dungeon is cool and all just not the type i would play for end game purposes unless its for item i want to get.

[latent parrot]

the monos are your monday to friday day job to get paid, the dungeons and crafting is when you go to the horse races in the weekend to gamble your hard earn pay

i have so far lost all my hard earned pay every single time, goddamn horse races

[strong iris]

tbf: every dungeon is a maze

[clever lintel]

Does fencing grac on the rogue passive buff ballista?

[strong iris]

spend favor, kill mobs

[thorn temple]

made it more clearer above recent text. its not the dungeon itself its how you want to progress with gear. having to do tier boss on maze just for solo upgrade is not like great design imo. the dungeon itself is totally fine. like let me give you another example. imagine if you wanted to do faction to get new quest or whatever. you have to do dungeons to get to that destination now you may not go there everytime and it's specific reason but alone has a purpose. you see how like it's not fun to do that everytime? to me makes a lot less sense when game already provides you extent of freedom but one solo dungeon run having to do just an upgrade? okay bro

[sterile quail]

Just play the game normally, you will gain xp from your normal gameplay

[spring meteor]

Spend favors at the gamble NPC at the start of the bazaar. MG only gets to spend favors for buying and listing and you can only do so much of that. You gain 2x reputation for every favor spent.

[sterile quail]

Any game, and any game design, can't make 100% sense to everyone, it's just impossible. It's regrettable that you don't find this perticular part of this game to be to your liking. But it is what it is, either get over it or don't, that's up to you.

[remote lichen]

Any power leveling tips for HC? I keep trying different classes but doing chapters 1 through 6 is bleh.

[sterile quail]

After you complete the campaign once on any char, you can skip chapters to make it faster. That's about the only tip I have for you personally.

[strong iris]

i have a 3LP ladle lying around. farmed multiple hours for a fitting exalted weapon. havent found one yet. a 5 min dungeon at the end of the grind is the least of my worries

[thorn temple]

alright i understand that much and just voiceing my opinon on it that's all. i mean if others like it then hats off to them otherwise i am just going to do this dungeon when i want to. I get your point and logic but that's purely my opinion, hence why i said dungeon is not that popular

[strong iris]

this dungeon is by far the most run dungeon. its pretty popular

[spring meteor]

Are you me? Im in teh same boat. Before the 3LP ladle, i told myself I'd slam a T6 and whatever else comes. Now that I actually have it, im like - no, no T7 at minimum and everything else needs to be perfectly rolled.

[thorn temple]

only cause of upgrade purposes lol

[sterile quail]

I completely understand that. But the fact of the matter is that it is what it is, and we all have to go through it. Just try to stock up and minimize the times you have to put yourself through that, and maybe that'll help ease your feelings about it when you finally smash that perfect piece of gear. Good luck, and may the RNG Jesus be with you.

[strong iris]

maybe^^ im also looking for T7+T5+T5. got a T7 drop today but sadly couldnt finish the craft. here we go again

[sterile quail]

Wow 😄 , you're gonna be spending alot of hours in this game, that's for sure hehe

[latent parrot]

a tip to: use a RoCreation on your exalted craft if it's perfect, so you can slam again if you miss the first time

[spring meteor]

Eh, i guess? Steam says 700+ hours (i've had LE before LP existed)

[sterile quail]

Lol I have 110 hours and I feel like I've played the game way to much already 😂

[strong iris]

stop it. im also at 700+ hours XD playing since 0.8.1C

[spring meteor]

Oh yeah definitely. But there was that one time it became perfect only to eat up the remaining 15 FP at the last craft. 😦

[sterile quail]

Correction: 118 hours. But I intentionally stayed away from the early access period, and burned my soul out on D4, so I could make it all right again with LE. In hindsight, I was right.

[white canyon]

Does it matter what path you take in a monolith aside from the rewards?

[spring meteor]

Nope, choice is all yours. Tho i'd do that in empowered monos if you havent done that already. Edit: maybe im misreading but if youre talking abuot echo pathing, no just pick what you want regardless of normal or empowered.

[sterile quail]

The right side monoliths have more relevant drops/blessings to your class I'm told, but once in the echo tree, it doestn't matter which way you go.

[white canyon]

Oh that's what they meant, I'm dumb

[sterile quail]

No you're not. Can't know everything, that's all 🙂

[white canyon]

Currently leveling a falconer and honestly enjoying the company of the bird lol, had a void knight warpath but idk didn't feel fun

[latent parrot]

always felt like getting robbed at gunpoint and then getting kicked into the curb when forging potential -10

[sterile quail]

I'm playing dive bomb falconer and I think it's great! Glad you're having fun with it 🙂

[white canyon]

Oh I was looking at that, is it fun? hard to build?

[latent parrot]

although im glad it was no longer like earlier versions of the game, where every single time you crafted there was a chance that the whole thing cracks and bricks, instead of forging potential. double T6 item? i'll just click on this upgra- and the item is dead

[sterile quail]

It's really fun, and it's easy to build. But what you have to concider is that your falcon will do most of your damage, and you're basicly just commanding it what to do. I enjoy that playstyle, but it's maybe not for everyone.

[white canyon]

Got a video to showcase?

[peak kelp]

Quick question: I have gotten all my blessings and defeated all the bosses but I cannot enter empowered Monoliths. Any tipps on what I am missing?

[dense arch]

Would anyone be interested in being my guinea pig for a custom boot.config I've thrown together for Last Epoch that seems (at least for me) to get rid of the frame drops in a lot of places, the memory leak issues that seem to pop up after long sessions, and overall just seems to stabilize the games framerates? Need you to be comfortable copying / pasting files, setting them to read only, and be able to tell me how many logical processors you have on your computer before I send it to you to test.

[faint plinth]

why some people so mad about the changes? apparently the "bug fixes" destroyed some builds?, someone mentioned ballistas.

[white canyon]

Yeah looks like more fun than straight up just shooting arrows tbh

[hollow trail]

Is it worth slamming 1 LP uniques? Feels like committing so many resources for 1/4 chance...

[sterile quail]

Lmao, no

[swift radish]

what's the most profitable timeline to farm for a merchant guild character? I was thinking last ruin for the relics and boss drops...

[sterile quail]

So many resources? It's no difference between slamming an 1LP and a 4LP, it's just 1 unique and one exalted item.

[spring meteor]

Depends. Usually if I have to settle on the 1LP and I know I'm gonna try to farm up higher, I get a few mediocre gamble pieces knowing ill just settle on the results. But if its 1LP on a red ring for example... then yeah it's more precious than my firstborn.

[toxic bloom]

if i push higher courption i can get better drop or?

[hollow trail]

I'd have to commit a bunch of rare shards

[sterile quail]

Yep

[spring meteor]

Yeah understandable. I know that feel. Its up to you at that point if you wanna gamble.

[hollow trail]

I'm not a gambling man LOL why do I even play these games

[sterile quail]

Because it's hella enjoyable, and the rush when you actually get what you want is great! 👍

[dense arch]

All good, if you wanna tweak your own look it up on reddit, I followed a guide for tarkov and did some additional digging through Unity documentation to try a few other tweaks, definitely seems to make a diff. ❤️

[sterile quail]

In this day and age, who in their right mind would accept a boot script/config from a complete stranger in good faith? I mean really. I'm glad it worked out for you, but don't expect anyone to randomly install files you provide haha.

[dense arch]

It's 100% common practice to tweak config files in most games to try to squeeze performance out of them, so I'd assume anyone who understands it's a plain text file they can open in notepad and review for themselves... have done it for other games before, and was just trying to help. All good though, I can understand ppl being hesitant, was worth asking though!

[sterile quail]

In my 40+ years of gaming, I have never tweaked config files of any game to squeeze out performance out of them. I just buy better hardware if what I have can't keep up. And looking anything up on Reddit is like staring down the bowels of hell and thinking it's a great idea. But that's all up to you I guess 🙂

[dense arch]

Understood, 14 years as a software engineer, so I'm constantly tweaking stuff :D, I can feel your pain with reddit for sure. I only use it as a resource when I have to. I just know how unoptimized unity can be, so was trying to get rid of some of the jankyness I've seen after long sessions of playing haha. unfortuantely it's easy to develop confirmation bias when you're the only one trying something, so always good to have another test subject. I'll just spin it up on my work laptop and see if I see the same results / logs

[sterile quail]

Yeah yeah everyone always pull that "software engineer" card. I've been an UX and automation dev since the days of assembler, but I still don't pull that card on people, because it's completely irrelevant.

[lofty radish]

So, I did the thing I always do in ARPG games. When I started I thought, "It will be fun to play something I don't normally play like a rogue type character" and then I get to the endgame and realize why I always.... always end up switching to a more tanky class for my second toon. I hate being squishy lol. After failing three empowered echos in a row I ragequit my falconer. Now I'm wanting to start a second character. What is the beefiest build I can do? Not looking for a specific build guide. Just a general idea and I can work out the rest or look something up down the line.

[dense arch]

wow, you really are a fun one :). I only mentioned it because you said you don't tweak config files, when it's pretty common (literally pcgamingwiki has entire articles to engine tweaks for games... to fix bad configs) w/ most game releases being hodge podge ports and buggy on release in today's day and age. It wasn't a flex or anything, just saying it's why I always tinker around when something isn't running right. You do you though bud.

[earnest quartz]

Hello everyone! Question: anyone know why my dodge rating is reading as -10k? Only piece of equipment I have that I think might be doing something like this is 'Foot of the Mountain'

[spring meteor]

Tis a bug, everyone's character sheet is apparently broken after today's patch. Just visual tho so no worries.

[earnest quartz]

Thank you for the reply, but the issue I have is that it is showing to change my Glancing Blow chance to -100%, would this also be a UI bug and just not readying correctly?

[light agate]

ok I gotta know, how tf do you compelte the void horror (in monoliths) prophecy, the one from the beacons dont count

[sterile quail]

You can claim what you want, but "pretty common" I'm pretty sure is not a true metric, because 99% of gamers don't touch anything other than the "play game" button in Steam, or whatever game client they use. Either way, this is not the right kind of forum to ask people to be your guinea pigs. Ask those people on Reddit instead.

[spring meteor]

Basically, everything under the character sheet can't be trusted is how I understand. But yes, should be a visual bug.

[dense arch]

Ok, thanks big guy. You keep on keeping on!

[sterile quail]

Yes it's a visual bug that cropped up with the latest update 😦

[barren plank]

I can't find good info on exactly what witchfire does in detail. It's not listed in the skills list in LastEpochTools and IcyVeins guides don't link where they mention it in the builds. Is there a source that has this information in detail?

[sterile quail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/witchfire

[acoustic thicket]

i got -40000 armor and 1000% move speed

[lofty radish]

Just gonna boop this once and then I'll go on my way.

[sterile quail]

It's a UI visual bug that cropped up with the latest patch, it's not real.

[spring meteor]

You can make a lot of classes tanky, including falconer. Hows you current defenses looking? If its gonna be more or less the same on a new 'tanky' character, you'll be at the exact same place.

[lofty radish]

Rogue seems to be built a lot around moving constantly. I've tried tweaking it a few different ways and still am not satisfied. Now in danger of growing frustrated and bored with the game as I tend to do in these situations so I'd rather start fresh with a new class tbh.

[spring meteor]

Thats fine, but again, if the standard defensive layers aren't there, you'll have the same problem. What are your resists? What are your crit avoidance at? Hows your dodge rating and glancing blows? Life level?

[winter sandal]

am i ever gonna get a fully geared character that can go past corruption 200. im cof rank 9 and can go days without getting a decent piece of gear and thats even with prophecies. i would buy from mg but its too expensive. Do i just give up?

[nova wraith]

where do you guys go to look up builds? i dont wanna follow it exactly but i want to know what it is.. like a paladin build

[barren plank]

I didn't realize it was an ailment. Thought it counted as a skill for some reason. Thanks for the help.

[candid elm]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ and https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides have builds and guides

[lofty radish]

Resistance all capped, crit avoidance over 100%, Not sure on dodge rating but I pick up gear that has it so it should be pretty healthy. But the build I'm currently running has a focus on higher defense/dodge while moving and I don't really feel like respeccing it yet again. I get what you're saying, but I really just want to try something different altogether and start with a focus on just being a fortress lol.

[nova wraith]

thanks man

[desert sequoia]

how difficult is soulfire bastion t3? i need the belt and am playing hardcore... currently lvl89 torment warlock

[candid elm]

It's not that hard, but if you're not familiar with the mechanic you can die very fast.

[spring meteor]

Oh okay, yeah then toally get it - just didnt wanna lead you down the wrong path. I hear a lot of survivability with Healing Hands Paladin builds. I'm sure Warlocks are still tanky even after the bugfix just to name a few.

[lofty radish]

Interesting. I expected Paladin to be among the most survivable classes but wasn't expecting one of the acolyte classes. That sounds interesting for sure.

[spring meteor]

These days, the meta seems to be going around scaling ward retention and ward generation through the roof for high end defenses (on top of the standard defensive layers).

[candid elm]

Explosive Trap Blast Rain is an option, that uses a passive that procs Detonating Arrows

[sterile quail]

You're welcome! Hope that helped, good luck.

[lofty radish]

Thanks for the tips! I'll look into both of those.

[grim kraken]

hey, falcon strikes '' trained to hunt '' passive affecting directly the falcon right? so dive bomb can benefit from it. also it says ''inc dmg from global max '' the global means the one on the C page right?

[stone granite]

If there was a way to scale health gain on block it would be insane

[sterile quail]

Trained to Hunt -> Highest increased damage -> Falcon damage: 75%:

"A portion of the highest of your global increased melee damage, increased throwing damage, and increased bow damage now apply to all your Falcon's damage."

Requirements:
Feather Knives: 1
Side by Side: 1

[pliant badge]

I have a question about kill threshold on two different skills. If one skill has the Kill Threshold at 15%, will that threshold apply to the other Skill that has a Kill Threshold?

[latent parrot]

no

[pliant badge]

Thank you

Items such as The Last Laugh would work for both

[desert pebble]

did they even adress offline health bar bug?,

[sterile quail]

Read the latest patch notes in #news

[undone herald]

guys im trying to turn my unique relic lvl 61 into a legendary but its telling me i need lvl 50 and under uniques to do it how am i suposed to make my gear legendary ;-;?

[desert pebble]

ty

[sterile quail]

The way you turn a unique into a legendary is that your unique has to have legendary potential (LP), and you have to go and complete the Temporal Sanctum dungeon to merge your LP 1-4 unique with a 4 affix exalted item. I'll refer you to this guide: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/legendary-items-crafting-guide

[spring meteor]

You need to run T2 to slam a level 62.

[desert pebble]

appearantly nothing happened?

[sterile quail]

Then nothing happened. But that was the latest patch.

[undone herald]

OHHH

[desert pebble]

I have meant that do they aware of this bug

[sterile quail]

Report it with the in-game bug reporting tool, or in the #1210281997591908452 here on discord. Or search the bug reporting forums here to see if it's already been reported, and you can add to that.

[azure siren]

Hi, how do I export my build to planner and share it here?

[foggy salmon]

what is the condition to have an experimental mod roll t6 or t7 on your belt using glyph of insight.. i try'd every combination it seems with the planner link. cant get it to work. is a genious in chat that can help me out?

[candid elm]

Import and share buttons on the left https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[foggy salmon]

https://lastepochtools.com/profile/yourname

[candid elm]

Tool for Insight https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

[foggy salmon]

yea i got that. been shifting values all day. no luck. cant seem to get a t6 or t7 mod on a belt

[azure siren]

I am still confused. How do I add my character to the list?

[austere chasm]

Is there a max casting speed you can reach? Im not sure if the 25% cast speed on this item is worth or not becuase I already have tons of cast speed..

[sterile quail]

All you can do is pray to the RNG Jesus, and eventually it will drop for you.

[foggy salmon]

nah, i need to slam it into a unique.. and you cant slam org. experimental items that drop. you have to seal, get glpyh and use glyph of insight on a exhalted item i think

[sterile quail]

You can't slam sealed affixes, only the 4 unsealed ones.

[foggy salmon]

yea i know. but i have to seal the exp. in order to get the glyph, that is then used to put it on a normal exhalted item as a regular stat

[sterile quail]

If you're asking about how to use the glyph of insight, here is a wonderful guide that will take all of the guesswork out of it: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

It will tell you exactly what you will get when using the glyph of insight

[candid elm]

Use the import button on the left. Enter your account name, what's listed on the H key screen. And the character name, what's listed on the C key screen. Then you can use the Share button to get a sharable link.

[foggy salmon]

no i know how to use it... i was asking if anyone knows the conditions to roll a t6 or t7 mod on a belt.. all that i can do is t5 max with the tool

[sterile quail]

I don't think you can roll T6/7 affixes with the glyph of insight.

[foggy salmon]

okay thx man, thats what i thought too so the build planner is super misleading there

[azure siren]

Thanks, but where is the import button?

[candid elm]

It's upgrading from T1-T4 to T2-T5. I don't think it goes to T6-T7

[foggy salmon]

thx

[candid elm]

Right next to the import button.

[azure siren]

I see now

[dapper pivot]

I am currently grinding at 500+ Corrupt, is it worth going up to 1500+? do you get what you need on higher corrupt??

[foggy salmon]

i think constant fast killspeed is more key to success

[lapis topaz]

Is it possible for drain life to follow an enemy while using controller?
I'd either like to use the channel drain life with controller or have dark shackle give me ward and cost current life instead of mana. Neither of these seem to work.

[sterile quail]

It's an ARPG... RNG Jesus decides what you get, not higher corruption or any other parameter.

[foggy salmon]

i mean you will get more favor in higher corr but i get all my stuff in lp2-lp3 at around 400-700c easily (cof here)

[dapper pivot]

😆

[foggy salmon]

but guys, how does he managed to get 6 zombies move with him on his belt. t5 experimental is only 4. https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/9id40yow

[safe nymph]

Hey all! I just got a nice mage body armor unique - re slamming it do I need a mage body armor or can I use an exalted acolyte armor?

[noble sonnet]

Anyone else getting fps drops all the sudden in the last few days? Going from 180 to 25. Not sure what’s going on

[sterile quail]

It's 100% true though. Higher corruption increases the quality of the drops, but it by no means mean that you will guaranteed get what you want. That is in fact up to RNG Jesus.

[candid elm]

Maybe it was a drop? Not positive. As in it dropped as T6 from the Exiled Mages

[candid elm]

Pretty sure it won't let you combine different required class items. Same with different faction items.

[sterile quail]

You have to have the same base item: Your class chest armour for your class chest armour, and you can't combine different faction items like @candid elm said.

[safe nymph]

Yeah I get the different factions cant be slammed, but different classes

[sterile quail]

Nope

[mystic matrix]

may or may not be a bug so im asking here first. Anyone playing a necromancer notice when you port to a new map your permanent wraiths that are flame turn back to reg wraiths when you load into the next map?

[dense arch]

Happens on my Beastmaster sometimes, my squirrels turn back into wolves, usually just removing the skill off my bar and readding it and then resummoning will fix

[mystic matrix]

well since i dont have that high of a chance to summon the flame wraith its annoying fishing for them over and over when i go to next map. i dont think it is inteded to be this way but maybe im wrong

[dense arch]

ahh, might want to ask in #💀┃acolyte to see if anyone has a better work around, wasn't aware you had to fish for it, sorry for the bad advice

[storm tusk]

so quick question why does blessing have a yellow ring around it and then a purple ring around it?

[sterile quail]

Empowered and not empowered

[unkempt sand]

I have a question about the key dungeon shortcuts. If I go into the soulfire bastion and skip to the hyborean valley by completing that dungeon, will I also gain the various character rewards that are on the normal path to that point, or will I have to backtrack to get there and do sidequests anyway?

[mystic matrix]

no advice is bad adivce. will do thank you

[storm tusk]

ok but why does some have a full circle of purple and some have less??

[void fog]

for the marksman trap build is it more important to have lightning dmg or throwing dmg?

[dense arch]

it's how close it is to the max roll, so if it's 50% of the max roll it will be halfway, 95% will be almost all the way around etc. you can confirm by holding alt while mousing over to see the min->max value and see that it roughly translates to the filled in part of the circle 🙂

[storm tusk]

ah ok thank you!

[abstract prairie]

Anyone playing this on the steam deck? I can't seem to boot up in online mode for some reason, anyone know if this is possible?

[lament tundra]

So will every season last whole three months, so we will only get balance updates once every three month and nothing in between other than bug fixes?

[sterile quail]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216767335512408184

[lament tundra]

So that means patches and game updates besides bug fixes will also be only every three months? Is this standard for arpgs?

[sterile quail]

Game breaking bugs, or skills overperforming due to bugs, will get fixed midseason. If it's just a balance problem not caused by a bug, it will get fixed at the next cycle. All of this has been broken down in the blog posts that you can find in #news

[unkempt sand]

as far as major patches and game updates, yes, it's standard

Path of exile has been doing it that way for about a decade, diablo 3 mostly did it that way from what i remember, I don't think warhammer 40k: inquisitor:martyr:subtitle overload:the movie:the game has actually ever done a balance patch at all

[lament tundra]

I don't mean problem I mean will we only get buffs to skills that are under performing or even new items also only once in three months? My point is when new season drop what fun additions could we expect to come in the three month period

[hot ermine]

How rare is Last Steps of the Living supposed to be? I'm at over 300 corruption in the Spirits of Fire timeline, doing every boot node I can, taking every CoF unique boot node I can that is doable in the timeline, and it just won't drop.

[lament tundra]

I feel grim dawn had patches much more frequently than three months but maybe I am wrong. I just remember new content often

[dense arch]

Yea, like Andreas said, usually mid-season you mostly get bug fixes / performance fixes if needed etc. New content generally comes out at season launch, and most games have a seasonal mechanic / theme that sometimes is removed at end season (or if it's really good will stick around in some way or shape). This is the first cycle for LE, but I'd expect them to stick to the same cadence as the alternatives on the market.

[sterile quail]

I don't think there has been any communication on how they will handle skills underperforming, if they will buff them midseason or not. They pushed out a survey earlier, but I can't recall if that option was in there anywhere. Please refer to #news and the survey summary.

[unkempt sand]

for this kind of game it's actually pretty important for balance purposes that there be a somewhat stable playing field for a while. the theoretically optimal builds are never trivial to farm the resources to execute, even if you're running with a very competent and serious guild that works in shifts to be farming 24/7.

[kindred granite]

when a shadow is "consumed" from cinderstrike's umbral conflragration, does it count as it "expiring" as well and will it leave behind an umbral blade?

[stone granite]

Well I hate to break it to you, but those are a boss drop in another monolith. You are never going to find them doing that.

[hot ermine]

....glad I went ahead and asked....lol

[dense arch]

Someone here might be able to answer, but if not you could ask in #🔪┃rogue , more likely to get more targeted class info there.

[lament tundra]

I guess grim dawn didn't have seasons hence it was different

[ancient wave]

idk how to send pics in here but my crit strike chance is coming up as stack -2147483648%

[sterile quail]

It's a visual UI bug introduced in the latest patch, and it's not a real number.

[tight girder]

Known bug from latest patch, #💬┃general message. Relogging fixed it for me @ancient wave

Sorry for the ping Andreas missclicked the reply

[sterile quail]

Editing a post and tagging a person after the fact, does not ping the person in question, just so you know 😉 And I don't mind getting pinged, so no worries.

[ancient wave]

saw it and that did fix it yea
tyty

[tight girder]

You sure? Could have sworn that it worked. Not really an expert on discord, heh.

[sterile quail]

If you send a post, and then go back and edit it, and then add an @ tag to a person, it won't ping the person. It has to be included in the original post.

[dense arch]

^ yea that's correct.

[fossil pasture]

I notice my ward resets back to 0 when it goes past 64k? Is it just a bug and im getting ward past 64 or is it really reseting back to 0? Playing on HC so kinda worried.

[tight girder]

Visual bug only

[fossil pasture]

Phew thank you.

[supple shoal]

with weavers will is it possible for it to roll 4 prefix's or 4 suffix's or does it follow the same rules as other gear only 2 prefix and 2 suffix?

[sterile quail]

All weavers will items follow a predetermined path that you have no control over. It can be anything between 1-x added/upgraded affixes.

[supple shoal]

right that i understand but can it roll 4 of the same affix type like 4 prefix stats

[sterile quail]

I don't know, but I highly doubt it will roll 4 prefixes on one item. I've never seen anything close to that, but as I said, I don't know for sure.

[supple shoal]

yea clearly would be a top 1% item i was just curious if it was even possible

[sterile quail]

I seriously doubt it, but I'm happy to be proven wrong. 🙂

[supple shoal]

question for the dev chat then

[sterile quail]

Normally they upgrade to 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes, if you have enough WW on them.

[ionic stump]

Should I lvl my second character as CoF or Merchant? Only got my other character to 70 and rank 3 CoF

[candid elm]

You can do different if you want. If you want to do same you'll share that 3 rank.

[sterile quail]

If you start a new char and join CoF immediatly, it will greatly improve your drops levelling up. Merchant's guild is only really for the very late end game trading i f that's what you want to do. Your CoF rank will be applied to your new char.

[ionic stump]

Oh ok. I was thining of buying stuff with the gold I have like some twink items to level with. Is that viable? Or would I be better off just sticking to CoF? That was my original plan

[candid elm]

Just note you can't equip the other faction gear. So if it says CoF on it, the MG character can't use it

[sterile quail]

Nah I wouldn't bother personally, but you do what you like. The CoF rank will be applied to your new char, and it will get alot more drops so it will be more benificial to your new char levelling up.

[sterile quail]

And yes, like @candid elm said, you can't buy MG items and put on your CoF char, or vice versa.

[ionic stump]

Then I shall stay as CoF. I've never really played before, but should I be using CoF benefits while leveling or is the only benefit to raise the rank as I level?

[sterile quail]

If you mean prophecies, you can't really use those until you get to the point in the campaign when the observatory unlocks. It's just passive benefits from your rank in CoF. Your rank will increase just by playing your new char too, so there's that.

[ionic stump]

Ok last question, promise. I'm leveling a falcon to do the explosive ballista build. Is it weak until I get the falcon?

[gentle lark]

Hi everyone I have a question concerning prophecy. If I take the prophecy that give armor with 2LP. Will it Improve my chance to have 3 LP or 4 LP?

[ionic stump]

And should I do all the sidequests or can I unlock my idols and quests later if I alreadyu finished the campgian?

[dense arch]

I assume you're asking does it change the baseline and make the drop rate difference more similar to the difference between LP1 -> LP2 except for LP2->LP3/4? I'm not 100% sure how that works honestly and if there is any type of lucky scaling outside of the LP2 drop.

[gentle lark]

Yes exactly what I mean

[dense arch]

Yea, that's a great question for the devs :), my assumption would be no, but I don't know for certain.

[dark drum]

im new to LPs and not too sure how they work so sorry for a noob question but do they have to be the same items ? like can a sword only get a LP from a sword or can i use a relic to put a lp on my sword ?

[dense arch]

You can circle back at anytime if you want. There is a good cheat sheet right here https://imgur.com/a/KOkBFU8 that you can use to tell you which quests to go back and optimally get them the fastest

[tight girder]

Gotta be same item type (1h sword > 1h sword, relic > relic etc) but base doesn't matter

[dark drum]

okay thank you

[winter horizon]

lightless arbor and soulfire bastion are dungeons that you do while leveling? map says its around lv 20 30 to do them

[stone granite]

They can be used to skip parts of the campaign, I found soulfire to be especially nice to actually level up through as you do it

[twin forum]

Has there been any update on monoliths hard crashing the steam deck because of the memory leak? Took a break a while back waiting for this to be resolved.

[stone granite]

There were some memory leak fixes but nothing specific for steam deck, they don't support steam deck directly

[ripe wasp]

for making money in MG, would you say unique drop rate or increased gold blessing? farming high corruption, im leaning toward unique rate (and already have it) but unsure if im being inefficient

[twin forum]

I mean tbh it's just a Linux laptop with 14gb of memory. Only issue is monolith memory leak exceeded 14gb and hard crashes it. I'll have to see if the patches fixed it.

[candid elm]

Fixed a large memory leak that occurred in long sessions within Monolith and Arena
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-hotfix-1-0-1-2-notes/66050

[twin forum]

Excellent.

[candid elm]

Maybe ask in #💰┃merchants-guild . I'd guess extra Uniques would be better, but I'm playing CoF.

[ripe wasp]

oh thanks will do

[pallid owl]

Hello guys. What's the best way to farm experimental T7 affixes?

[stone granite]

Killing exiled mages

[carmine stag]

Ik this isn't the mage page but I finally killed Julra on T4 and am not sure if I should slam my +3 frost claw relic into a 1lp or 2lp twisted heart. I was hoping for a wide response from some vets of the game here. I have all garbage rolls on the relic other than +3 ranks to claw.
Was hoping to save the 2lp for one that had +3/int or +4 ranks but idk if that will happen for a while. Thoughts and advice please?

[pallid owl]

This is an obvious answer but I never get an experimental affix higher than T5. Not sure if it is possible for a T7 experimental affix to drop.

[stone granite]

It is but that is a fools errand

[carmine stag]

Also the 1lp rolls are better than the 2lp ofc :/ I'm really unsure what to do

[ionic stump]

At waht level do I unlock falconeer?

[stone granite]

Mastery selection happens as part of the campaign, just keep playing

[safe frost]

I don't remember very well since it's so fast, but I believe around lvl 20-25? It's very early in campaign

[safe frost]

Would like to see an answer for this too

[stone granite]

it's sooner than that

[gentle lark]

Hi I have another question for multiplayer. If I create a party in the same zone as my friend will the game crash less or it dont change anything?

[carmine stag]

I genuinely am unsure of what to do. I mean I hit a 1/4 slam yesterday on my ring for int. but I don't feel very confident about this relic :/

[ionic stump]

Should I craft on any bow that i find? Is there a base dmg on bows I should focus on while leveling or are the things I can craft on it more importnat?

[safe frost]

Just go experimenting, you will drop much gear along the way, you will find better gear for sure. Very early on, you will not have chance to drop the best bases, and you drops will have low forging potential. But do experiment, once on endgame you will drop exponentially more gear and affixes to a point that nothing that you have dropped before will matter. Don't be afraid

[stone granite]

Just starting you won't have many crafting shards to do much, I'd just focus on picking up upgrades for a while. Campaign is pretty easy as a tutorial for how to play.

[ionic stump]

Kk. I got a couple shards from my higher level character. At what level do yall suggest I start lightless place?

[safe frost]

1. No, actually they have to be transferred to be used.
2. Do not get what you're saying, you can dm me

They are account wide in the same game mode and cycle. But are not tradeable. There's no reason to not transfer them. Also late game they will fill your invent very very fast

[celest thunder]

how long is a cycle in last epoch?

[candid elm]

@lofty elm minor correction, your stash and crafting materials within a game mode is shared. Example, characters in Online Cycle have a shared stash and crafting materials. Characters in Online Legacy have a different shared stash and crafting materials. So they'll be shared within that game mode, unless you turn on a challenge mode like Solo Character Found.

@celest thunder the exact date hasn't been given, but previous guesstimates was 3-4 months. https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216767335512408184

Yeah, similar to PoE Leagues and Diablo Seasons

[silk pecan]

hi guys for a bee build if i have the keeper gloves and one idol with +6 bees would be enough or i need 2 idols to make it viable?

[candid elm]

I have no idea if a Bee build is actually viable. There's Idols with Bee stuff for Primalist, Mage, and Rogue. In addition to the Keeper Gloves, there's also Hive Mind Helmet for Rogue, Humming Bee 1H Sword, and Bloodkeeper's Nest Relic.

[frank iris]

guys, how do i fight the abomination in "fall of the outcasts" on empowered? i did 2 of the optional echoes and I have 858 stability but i dont see where or how i can fight the final boss...

nevermind, the altar of flesh with the new icon threw me off

[candid elm]

No. You can't change your initial class or chosen mastery. You can change everything else. If you want a different mastery, you'll have to make a new character.

@frank iris can you click the 3rd yellow arrow on the left side?

[gray moss]

Anyone know if the LF is bugged or "Total affix tiers of" works different? I thought it just adds the affix tiers of all the affixes

[frank iris]

i figured it out, the gaze of orobyss text threw me off, didnt get that this was the boss

[stone granite]

Pretty sure that's exactly what it does, but you might have another rule that is overriding it

[candid elm]

Oh you're in Empowered. You can go straight to the boss in Empowered once you have enough Stability. Don't need to do the two lead up quests.

[frank iris]

yep, just read that too lol, oh well, live and learn

[gray moss]

I have no other "Hide" rule above it, but when I change the total affix count to equal or greater than 6, it shows an item with 11 total affix tiers, but when i set it to 10, it just hides it

[stone granite]

did you set it =10?

[gray moss]

no it was equal or greater than 10 (>=10)

[vagrant summit]

i'm not sure if this was mentioned but is their a reason why uniques dont actually look like they are shown, is this a feature to be added or not mentioned anywhere?

[candid elm]

New models are often posted on the forums, couple examples https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/new-enemies-models-coming-to-last-epoch-february-21st/62384/2 and https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/new-enemies-models-coming-in-rising-flames/58895

Edit: not every unique item has a special model yet, if that's what you were asking

[wide shore]

Is there a way to set up an item filter that insists on one stats being static, while the other three are pulled from a subset?

Like, I insist on health, and the other three stats can be pulled from a list of 22 other possibilities? If there is a way, I haven't figure it out yet.

[vagrant summit]

Thank you. Hopefully moving forward we'll get unique models for unique items

[silk pecan]

i tested the bees and sadly kind of suck lol

[candid elm]

Sorry you didn't find them bee-utiful

[sonic bluff]

Guess the arena PL is dead for now since you cannot get exp while being in grace state

[candid elm]

Yes they bug fixed that.

[stone granite]

Yep, good riddens

[urban tangle]

do experimental items need to be exalted to transfer to an unique with LP?

[stone granite]

All items need to be exalted for legendary

[candid elm]

Yes. Same rules apply. Must be Exalted item with 4 Affixes. Sealed is not counted or used. The Experimental Affix itself doesn't need to be Exalted.

[sonic bluff]

yup !

[urban tangle]

okie, ty guys!

[celest thunder]

thanks

[north scaffold]

can anyone tell me how much i can sell a 4 LP soulfire relic for? requires lvl 6 CoF to wear

[stone granite]

You can't sell it at all

[north scaffold]

how come? o.O

[stone granite]

Because it's CoF tagged, those can't be sold. The factions don't mix at all.

[north scaffold]

don;t people use other chars with CoF?

[normal dagger]

Ok, here's a stupid question (for the Dev's!): Why did you not set 'default' for the sound card? I switch to my headset - no sound; oh - it's coming through my speakers... get done playing; spin up last epoch before work - with my speakers on - no sound; oh duh, now it's on my headset from last night.... (sorry, I needed to whine - that's a dumb decision and you guys are really smart...)

[open shore]

I saw on videos people have this Quick View in their stash, how do I open that menu?

[candid elm]

Is it the list of tabs and categories? There's a button on the upper right.

[candid elm]

MG is selling. CoF is not. You can't sell CoF items to other players.

[slim dune]

for a lvl 72 helm with 1 lp what lvl do i have to beat temporal sanctum to add to it

[open shore]

Found, thanks

[candid elm]

On the screen where you select the Dungeon Tier, it tells you on the left side. I believe it's:
T1: up to Unique required level 50,
T2: up to 65,
T3: up to 75,
T4: up to 100.
But double check on that Tier select screen.

The LP doesn't matter, just the Unique required level.

[normal dagger]

You can - resonances...

[foggy timber]

does the corruption condition mean i need to do it at exactly that corruption level or is that corruption condition the minimum?

[raw talon]

my mana regeneration in my character sheet is huge negative number.. is that a display issue?

[stray junco]

can subclass changed in same character? i.e. marksman -> falconer

[candid elm]

Ok that person was asking about selling a CoF unique. I'll edit my response to indicate that you can't sell CoF items

[spring meteor]

Once you choose a mastery, you are locked and is permanent. This is warned to the player prior to picking a mastery.

[stray junco]

rip... thanks.

[candid elm]

That's the minimum, you can be above that.

[woven island]

whats a good necro build

Nevermind, I can't even log into my characters because End of time lol

[rancid prism]

I just started doing monoliths and I keep getting a bug where none of my loot will show up even when the loot filter is off. Any fix?

[safe nymph]

Does high corruption lith grinding grant more favor?

[bright stream]

Does adding the same lens stack the benefit?

Like two sword lenses would give +40% chance

[wide shore]

Is there a way to set up an item filter that insists on one stats being static, while the other three are pulled from a subset?

Like, I insist on health, and the other three stats can be pulled from a list of 22 other possibilities? If there is a way, I haven't figure it out yet.

[deft sentinel]

you'll need multiple rules

actually nvm I don't think it's realistically possible

[kindred granite]

probably a dumb question but am i supposed to do the temporal sanctum a second time to get my item back after i slam it?

[deft sentinel]

press d

[kindred granite]

thank you

[ebon reef]

How do I know if I got the +1 in all my stats for completing the campaign?

[deft sentinel]

press c to check your character sheet

[ebon reef]

Where is it indicated?

[deft sentinel]

at the top you can see all your attribs, if for example you have no attunement on your gear nor passives but you have 1 attunement on your sheet, you have the +1 all attrib reward

[ebon reef]

Hmm, I'm not sure if I beat it all then, even though I got to the end and I think it did it all but I guess not.

[tight lintel]

Is this a bug when I couldn't upgrade passive skill "Charged Steel" of Shurikens to 4/4?

[verbal remnant]

Im kinda confused as to what scales with what? Like am I not scaling well my self by going with Wolves and lightning crows? Do they both scale differently?

ok i see if i hold alt i can see how it scales. So for instance storm crows scale better from strength?

[deft sentinel]

you get +1 all attribs as long as you beat story majasa. no prereqs

[ebon reef]

But it doesn't show it explicitly does it?

[deft sentinel]

I mean it appears on your screen for a couple seconds after the quest is completed

[ebon reef]

I click through this stuff likeit's no tomorrow... I'll just trust that I have it.

[deft sentinel]

take all your gear off and look at your sheet?

[sick yacht]

Or look at stats you don't stack (str on a warlock)

[deft sentinel]

yeah or trust that you have it as long as you're sure you killed story majasa with the quest

[silk pecan]

Guys i have one question is there any loot filter to get loot to sell in market? I dont have gold and i dont know what to keep. Well, besides stuff i need but that dont sell well xD

[deft sentinel]

try #💰┃merchants-guild

[kindred granite]

can i slam any exalted item into a unique? even class specific items?

[wary star]

Playing a void knight how do I turn Rive into a void skill

[spring meteor]

Long as it has 4 affixes and is exalted yes. But, if you end up slamming a class specific affix, the unique also becomes class restricted.

[storm blaze]

Also has to be same type, 1h sword for 1h sword etc

[dry sail]

what counts as a "boss" in the "death of a boss" prophecies?

[storm blaze]

Anything with a boss healthbar

Exiled Mages (as an example) can fit that bill too believe it or not.

[storm blaze]

They do, yes

Anyone know where to find/kill these Imperial Eyes? I looked it up and it stated certain monos to run - when I run them and kill the mob that looks like the Imperial Eye I dont get credit... did I miss something

[rapid bridge]

Does the cosmetic store alternate items? I'm happy to pay a little for some to support the devs more but the items are 💩

[frozen badge]

Can I use transmog? Or is the cosmetic tab exclusively for real money transactions skins? I looked up the answer in the discord and I'll refund and go back to D4. At least you don't have to pay money to not look like a clown late game. Can't even customize your character or use a cool set without having to pay even more for the game, way to go.

There are 2 different types of those mobs gotta make sure it's the name that fits says it on the health bar

[lunar geyser]

Anyone else feel the new xp tome sounds are very underwhelming?

[tight girder]

Items from one-shot caches in the campaign. Was introduced in 0.9.2. They give specific loot the first time you open them, kind of like unique items in that they have predetermined stats (personal affixes). Basically only a leveling thing

[halcyon token]

Guy, arena count as dungeon?

[lunar geyser]

No, arena is its own type of content

[halcyon token]

thanks

[native narwhal]

Help me out here, why am I not dropping any catalyst that are marked for CoF? I don't want to use rune of ascendance on something w/o the mark but I am not getting any

[tight girder]

Only items that are found through rank rewards or prophecies will be CoF bound

Mostly you're going to want to use your rune of ascendances on exalted items you don't need that has come from one of those sources

[native narwhal]

Hmm I see, need to check some prophecies than. thx!

[mellow forum]

Is there a difference on julra's ring from sanctum depending on what tier you're doing?

[storm blaze]

Nah

[mellow forum]

So if im looking for the ring i should do tier 1?

[storm blaze]

Well it's the only unique she can drop at t1
I mean her specific unique
So probably

[tight girder]

If you don't care about LP, yes. Otherwise higher tiers have higher chance of 1+ LP

[tranquil steeple]

Do prophecies affect specific boss drops? For example, if i take a "kill orobyss" amulet prophecy, does it increase the chance for the orobyss "omnis" amulet to drop?

[storm blaze]

Prophecies can't drop boss items

[marble berry]

how can you forge intellect on a helmet as a rogue? I gotta make a mage? or find a helmet which alread has intellect?

[plush dove]

Find a helmet that has intellect already. No need to make a mage.

[marble berry]

do I have issue if it's mage helmet? no mage affixes, just mage implicit

[latent parrot]

or... simply add intellect to the helmet. base stat affixes are not locked behind classes

[plush dove]

What @latent parrot said. That’s probably easier than relying on items.

[marble berry]

I'm 99% sure I couldnt add int on a helm that had dex already

[latent parrot]

then you are clearly wrong or mistaken
all items can have 2 prefixes and 2 suffixes; more than likely you ran out of prefix space, which is where base stat affixes go
or you have somehow ran out of intelligence shards; not as common, but possible in the early game

[marble berry]

I 100% didn't, I guess I couldn't cause it was a rogue helmet and int prefix says:

"Requires Item Class: Mage / Acolyte / Non-Specific"

[sturdy ingot]

So who asked the devs to remove the ability to get xp in grace period for boosting alts? Cause i don't remember anyone asking for that

[latent parrot]

then you are absolutely 100% correct; i have missed the line where you said Rogue, an I am wrong

[restive flicker]

how are people running monos at level 36, I'm level 44 and can't complete one yet. Any tips on how to make rouge not so damn squishy

[latent parrot]

@marble berry if you need a helmet with intelligence on it, you can go the other way around; smashing into a LP Unique like Boneclamor Barbute that has Intelligence on it

[marble berry]

maybe they are using twink items?

[tidal oriole]

why still orobyss platform is bugged? i really wonder

[marble berry]

I was trying to make an int/dex peak of the mountain for my ballista falconer but it got scuffed anyway sadness

[restive flicker]

yea I don't have any since my last playthrough is a legacy character

[acoustic thicket]

Can somebody help me to understand how freeze chance calculate?
I wonder which part will calculate frostbite"chance to be frozen".

[latent parrot]

makes sense, you'd have to smash an acolyte or mage helmet to get those. ballista is scuffed on size, but the damage is still viable. just need to build defense now and play on lower corruption

[marble berry]

maybe not the best idea but try ballista falconer? it helped me a lot on difficult echoes cause I can just run endlessly and drop the ballistas to mow down stuff

[latent parrot]

the people doing campaign skips are most definitely running leveling gear + soft core
you can get into monos at 30, but expect to die repeatedly while leveling up

[marble berry]

aw hell naw, not playing flashbang, I'm going pew pew ballista, don't wanna get epileptic shock

[latent parrot]

respect

[restive flicker]

idk i guess I'll just finish the campaign til I'm strong enough to actually run one lol

[latent parrot]

valid choice, save the campaign skip for the next alt. going with a smashed 2/3LP firestarter torch will get you through the first mono easily*
*easier than not having it + still will die repeatedly + still need skill to run + L + ratio + whatever the kids are saying

[marble berry]

I second that, I was leveling my runemaster with 3-4 lp thingies and it was INSANEly different compared to my first level as falconer

[latent parrot]

always nice to click one button and watch Spreading Flames clear the entire map for you

[marble berry]

yeah that's just absurd

[clever echo]

if an item says it has a timeline to farm it (amulet) can you get it as a drop from other sources such as runes/prophecy's?

[marble berry]

yup, except if it's boss drop

[latent parrot]

target farm timeline simply means that that particular timeline has nodes which specifically drop that item.
e.g. Fall of The Outcasts, Exclusive Bows. Will have echo nodes that reward Unique or Set Bows
each mono has their own unique reward; for amulets + rings, it's Age of Winter

[clever echo]

dumb question and i most likely know the answer just wanna be sure but lets say i have a prophecy that is wanting me to kill majasa for 2x unique ammy would i still have equal chance to drop the ammy im after vs a prophecy that wants me to kill a mage

[marble berry]

yup, ALSO, you can re-enter boss rooms to fight them consecutively

[latent parrot]

the prophecy will not influence the quality of the drop, so your chances are the same for both prophecies

[clever echo]

thought as much but ive been wrong at simpler things before XD thanks both

[latent parrot]

it's a resonable question because sometimes the texts in-game are too simple and not clear enough

[clever echo]

yeah i kinda neglected prophecy's for a while im sat on 50k favor atm so time to try target devotion ammy XD

[latent parrot]

you can try to stack age of winter related prophecies to make the farm easier, like Kill Heorot
then when you run Age of Winter you can also look for the amulet nodes
or maybe the telescope is kind and gives you 4-5 kill majasa 0/3 fullfilment

[clever echo]

yeah im aware of that now lol after farming 7 orobys in spirits trying to get 1lp or more eterra boots only to come out with +45 corruption -_-

[latent parrot]

more corruption is good! higher corruption = higher quality = more chances of uniques dropping = more Unique echo nodes = even more chances of getting the Devotion
always target higher corruption, to a level where it's comfortable to farm quickly

[cobalt pumice]

why do i see the final boss in Lightless Arbor at 20% life? is this a bug or do i miss something?

[clever echo]

yeah i know about that i just thought id find a shade node that would have give me more than +45 or i would have used orobys earlier to get more stability

[latent parrot]

understandable, the game is not very clear in telling the player how corruption stacking on Gaze works

[slate night]

Is there a Known Memory leak in Last Epoch?

[clever echo]

yet i knew how it worked i just didnt know they scale so poorly i know i was doing c100 but i expected at least 60 ish

how do you find enemies like "diamond matron" and such when theres no condition or just says in monos?

[winter bone]

Right before the final boss

[latent parrot]

behold, the bestiary on tunklabs: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/bestiary
it's still RNG on whether they will appear or not, but at least you know which monos they won't spawn in
or you can grab a bunch of prophecies and see where they can likely all spawn (like Diamond + Siege can show up together in Reign of Dragons)

another giveaway is the enemy type + matching the era type. diamond and siege are divine era mobs, so a mono like stolen lance is likely
void horrors are obviously ruined, so black sun
if there's no mono condition for the prophecy, then they can be found in the campaign areas

[clever echo]

ahh i know about that for the experimental tool (handy lil contraption) still with it being somewhat RNG i think ill pass on those lol ive had some before and they took a very long time to complete. thankyou kind human XD

[sonic steeple]

Hey guys, small question is it possible that an exalt item have 2xt6 or t7 affix?

[marble berry]

even 3xt6 is possible

[sonic steeple]

K thx. Was just curious cuz to this date I haven’t found one with atleast 2x t6 or t6 and t7 etc

[marble berry]

biggest problem is seeing 2 or 3 t6 with 0 synergy between them and wanting to pull your hair out

[clever echo]

whats the location of the majasa fight? lol

[storm blaze]

I found one double t6 with flat phys dmg and %increased phys dmg

[lean cairn]

Hey guys , i need some help scaling ignite damage on my sorc fire claw (frost claw ) anyone playing similar concept and can help me get right scaling idea ?

[desert quest]

Sir this is #❔┃ask-the-community

[gaunt breach]

I've been desperately trying to farm the mad alchemist's laddle to no avail. I've been trying to target farm it in Metropolis Streets but it doesn't seem like the Mages spawn all that much and they never drop anything other than regular experimental items. Is there a better way? Should I push higher corruption for better chances? Is it a magic find issue? Changing the monolith to Stolen Lance affects anything? No right?

[sterile quail]

You can target farm it from The Stolen Lance timeline's Unique or Set Wand or Catalyst echo rewards.

[desert quest]

You can't target farm Mad Alchemist Ladle with echo rewards. It is exclusive to exiled mages.

[gaunt breach]

I thought it didn't drop from echo rewards only exile mages

[sterile quail]

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

[desert quest]

What corruption are you at? There is a bug thread on forums that it drops less in higher corruptions but not verified by devs. It is just RNG, just spam echoes

[eternal pewter]

I see a lot of exiled mages in Temporal dungeon if you have keys. If you switch between times frequently you "explore" twice as much and find a lot of them. Also maybe they just spawn there more often, idk, it's just my impression.

[frosty idol]

s healing hands(Seraph blade) scaling with Cast Speed a bug or is it intended?

[gaunt breach]

Andreas that's not the item. It's the MAD alchemist's laddle!
zkh... I'm at 120... it's barely the minimum. I haven't pushed far into it because I've read that in low corruption would be better.

[small topaz]

Are the passive bonuses from specializations multiplicative or additive?

For example, if I roll a sorcerer and roll 30% increased cast speed and 100% increased elemental damage on gear. Have I essentially reaped the benefits of a runemaster with 20% increased cast speed and 70% increased elemental damage (20+10 cast speed, 70+30 elemental damage) on gear? Or is it multiplicative so the runemaster would after all benefits to cast speed for example then multiply it with 1.1?

[sterile quail]

My bad. I guess my reading skills need more coffee to activate themselves. Carry on.

[desert quest]

They are additive unless it specifically says it is multiplicative (more damage). Also I don't remember any multiplicative cast/attack speed bonus.

[patent wedge]

anyone down to do tier 2 lightless arbor

[gaunt breach]

that's fine... thank you!!

[smoky ridge]

if a guide was last updated on march 4 2024 is it still relevant?

[desert quest]

Except for couple bugfixed skills, yes. There haven't been a major patch since then

[kind ridge]

is there any other aura-like damage dealing thing in game than blade shielded shuriken on rogue?

[lunar geyser]

Primalist's Maelstrom spell would be aura like i guess, though that stacks

[small topaz]

Thank you.

[main grove]

higher corruption wouldnt hurt, plus make your way further away from the start of the timeline. since the further out you go, the better rewards u get

[gaunt breach]

I've been trying that, maybe not far enough... I'll push a bit higher and get the wand drop rate blessing

[potent arch]

What do you call this forum style that both d4 and LE use?

[candid elm]

The text font? Or what part are you asking about

[potent arch]

The design of the site, looks like theyre both using the same template

[sudden swan]

Can you slam an exalt if it's only got 3 affix and 1 sealed?

[candid elm]

No. Sealed is not counted or used.

[candid elm]

Maybe a web design person could better answer that question. The text font that was in the first couple Diablo games (and you see a similar style in Last Epoch) is a modified version of the Exocet typeface / font https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocet_(typeface)

[honest birch]

you dont get better reward sjust more stability

[desert quest]

https://github.com/discourse/discourse
LE uses the opensource forum software. Don't know about D4

[main grove]

no no it definetly gets better. the further out you go the more modifiers you get

[void oxide]

wat is considered elemental?(Curse/Damned)?

[desert quest]

Fire, cold and lightning.

[plush jacinth]

Can anyone tell me is the lightless arbor vault reward depends on dungeon tier?

[toxic echo]

you get more mods with higher tiers. can check the differences on lastepochtools

[plush jacinth]

Ok thank u

[mental mountain]

resonance wont get filtered out by my lootfilter right

[toxic echo]

dont see how it would...its not an item in that regard

[candid elm]

I don't even think there's an option for it. You can't filter some things out, for example gold, affix shards, etc

[candid elm]

Example https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/lightless-arbor/tier4/vault-modifiers - tier selection at the top - or https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dungeon/lightless_arbor - scroll down, there's tier selection and click on The Vaults of Uncertain Fate to see the modifiers

[marble berry]

is there a reason to do lightless arbor in higher difficulty if I just wanted items that drop from t2?

[dapper ermine]

I havnt played since launch. Can you swap mouse buttons yet?

[storm blaze]

no

[toxic echo]

generally a higher drop chance for boss unqiues in higher tiers

[marble berry]

and higher LP or is that random?

[toxic echo]

random afaik for dungeons

[fresh moon]

Does CoF affect boss drops like t4 julra drops?

[golden sentinel]

Hi guys. How do I target farm unique items with legendary potential? I'm in merchant's guild, should i swap?

[toxic echo]

no

[toxic echo]

LP drops are all pretty much rng.

[golden sentinel]

And if I want to farm a certain item, i just check it in the area database and hope for LP?

[toxic echo]

yup

corr helps a slight bit

[fresh moon]

So CoF only affects like monster drops basically? since im using bazaar on a char now to make a bosser for farming the boss drops

[golden sentinel]

Oh ok. And merchant's guild is a disadventage i guess, is it?

[toxic echo]

unique dungeon boss drops arent effected by anything, they have their own drop rates. corr slightly effects unique timeline boss drops. CoF perks would effect like...their rare/exalted drops...but thats not what you are asking i think

[fresh moon]

Ur correct, Im basically asking if for example the julra relic drops which is about 7.4% on T4 is affected by the CoF ranks. Like Uniques are twice as likely to have legendary potential. Those.

[toxic echo]

i am fairly certain CoF perks dont effect anything on boss drops

esp julra's, since they are already guaranteed to be 1lp anyways

[hot lichen]

Last Ewok is the star wars ARPG game?

[mental mountain]

Can i merge 2 lootfilters together?

[tight girder]

You would have to do it manually

[mental mountain]

aight

[main olive]

How can I look for Widowing Large Idols in the Bazaar?

[tight girder]

Yes, higher corruption increases chances of 1+ LP

Item rarity increases the proportion of unique/set items that drop, as well as increase the average number of affixes on items (in particular, more exalted items drop). Item rarity also increases the drop rate of uncommon boss drops

[candid elm]

Widowing Prefix is Physical Penetration with Shadow Daggers
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/ACwDgbEA

[terse fjord]

Does anyone know of or have screenshots of any of these 2018 Kickstarter rewards or know of any NPCs or bosses that were created by Kickstarter backers (if they're in the game yet)?

-Create A Custom NPC With Dialogue
-Exclusive Custom Companion/Pet
-Design a Boss with the Epoch Team
-Exclusive Character Effect of Your Choosing

They were the high backer tiers of $5-10k so VERY rare, only 12 backers met the threshold for these rewards 😮

[main olive]

Thank you

[candid elm]

You're welcome : )

[naive quarry]

Do some base item types required for legendary crafting not drop? i cant seem to get an exalted gladiator helmet or broken hilt. How would i use the LP on these items?

[candid elm]

You just need the general item type. Helmet -> Helmet. It doesn't have to be the exact same item base. As you mentioned, some bases only exist for that unique.

[naive quarry]

Thanks, so for the broken hilt, would i just be looking for any sort of relic as its of relic type?

[candid elm]

Yeah that Relic doesn't list a required class, so you could combine with any Exalted Relic with 4 Affixes

[naive quarry]

awesome, thank you

[mint crown]

Can you use block chance with two handed weapons?

[toxic echo]

yeah. tho without a shield its just not good

but you can yes

dreamthorn is fine for leveling

just not because of block tho

[mint crown]

Was just curious as I'm making a javelin build.

[candid elm]

I mentioned "any" but I should have also mentioned it won't let you combine items from two different item factions. Or items with two different required classes.

[stone granite]

It'd be a waste of passives and affixes to make it work

[toxic echo]

wouldnt worry about it with jav...focus more on leech

[gray crest]

Any tips on Ligthless Arbor Boss? Got one-shoted over and over even though I'm breezing through the dungeon and empowered monoliths... 😕

[stone granite]

what tier?

[gray crest]

T3 on my Marksman, T4 on my Warlock

[toxic echo]

honestly, dont get hit. phase 1 has rocks that fall pretty quick and do tons of damage, those are normally the main cause of deaths. phase 2 just learns its rotation

[hollow ivy]

Is firebrand like insanely bad?

[gray crest]

It's almost allways phase 1 - but the rocks are falling so fast! Hard to react in my opinion...

[toxic echo]

you are not alone in this opinion.

Can a sealed affix be one of the possibility when making a ledendary?

[toxic echo]

nope

[gray crest]

Ok thanks! I find one-shot-mechanics are really annoying...

[toxic echo]

most are avoidable cuz they have a long telegraph. this one...doesnt and its not great. but it is a known pain point

[sinful plank]

for a helm suffix, is health, or increased health, a better affix? trying to decide between the two

[surreal stag]

hello community, been playing this game a bit first trying to make a spear-javelin sentinel (and picking the wrong mastery so have to start over) but also was making a spellblade mage planning to use 2h axes with him but now i just cannot for the life of me find an axe (not even 1h for some reason) anywhere.. I know he can use 2h swords cause im walking around with one but would really like an axe instead.. is this just drop-rng or can mages not find and/or equip them?

[stone granite]

Depends entirely on the rest of your build

[sinful plank]

@stone granite hm, any indicators on difference makers? going with a ward low hp shadowdagger build

[toxic echo]

just really bad rng, for the most part. i know some classes have a little skewed smart loot on weapons...not sure if axes are reduced on mages, but its not impossible by any stretch

[surreal stag]

very happy to read that, pff.. was already googling it for an hour before trying discord. thanks!

[stone granite]

You want both, but it's hard to say which one will make the bigger impact. Usually I just replace a health item with an increased health item and look at how my HP moves to see

[surreal stag]

I found it strange that I didn't see em in shops either though, made me think they couldn't use them.

[versed pecan]

anyone playing the runemaster frost claw build i would like to know at lvl 75 is there a way to sustain the mana i am running out of mana like crazy\

[snow fossil]

Wtf is with dmg of the falling rock and roots in loghtless arbor boss fight. I have 105 crit avoid 75 phys res, 45% armor, 100 gla nsing 2.2k hp and it still one shots me

[toxic echo]

its a known pain point. lots of complaints about them

[candid elm]

Note you can only roll certain Health Affixes on certain items.

• % Health is just Body Armour, Helmet, Belt.
• Hybrid Health is just Gloves, Boots, Belt.
• +Health can be on any armor, any accessory, and Shield. So basically just not on Weapons and off-hands that aren't Shields.

If you have a choice between Flat Health and % Health / Hybrid Health on an item, I'd go for the % Health / Hybrid Health as there's less items you can get those on.

Specifically for your Helmet question, % Health is probably going to give you more. Example on a Helmet, Tier 5 +Health is 56 to 75 and Tier 5 % Health is 10% to 12%. So if you've got 1k base Health, % Health is going to give 100 to 120.

[shadow leaf]

If i unlock empowered monoliths in HC and die later. With new HC character i willl have to do the same tedious steps to open them again?

[toxic echo]

yup. mono progress is character bound

[shadow leaf]

Too bad..

[stuck schooner]

Whats the equation for calculating cooldown with the cooldown recovery speed ?

[toxic echo]

100% cdr = 50% of the base cooldown

[stuck schooner]

Is it something like this ? “cooldown / (1 + cooldown recovery speed) = final cooldown”

[lyric vigil]

does it matter what tier is the item you shatter? if so, in what sense?

[cold frigate]

is there a site that shows the % on LP for each item?

[toxic echo]

lastepochtools

[toxic echo]

think so?

[shadow leaf]

Theres also a 2 somewhere there... I think 😅

[toxic echo]

item rarity doesnt matter. tier of affixes is what matters

[winter sandal]

why does cof keep getting changes when its COF that needs buffs not nerfs

[cold frigate]

the site just states LP chances as common, rare, etc. not actually percentages

[toxic echo]

mouse over it

[cold frigate]

ah lol tyvm

[lyric vigil]

why does it matter?

[grizzled summit]

the tier of the stat dictates the maximum shards you can get

[toxic echo]

shattering only gives a chance up to tier for shards. so a t2 affix can only give 2 max shards. a t5 can give up to 5

removal always gives max shards, but random affix

for items with 2 affixes and shatter rune, can get 1 of one affix, and 0 of another. its only guaranteed to give 1 shard total

[dry sail]

are prophecies per character or per account?

[toxic echo]

character

[crystal kettle]

Guys, is this item "Talons of Valor" with 4lp (i think a screenshot would be easier to show, but it can´t post images) suitable for any build ? First 4lp drop i think i should make a build with it

[candid elm]

You can use LE Tools Builds section to filter by various things, including items https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/item=UAzBsGZwFiA

[lavish swallow]

Higher tier affixes have more chance to get into legendary items while crafting?

[toxic echo]

no, rng

[crystal kettle]

oh, thats great, thank you

[shadow leaf]

Raising corruption is so boresome... Is there a quick path to it?

[candid elm]

Raise it high in one and you'll get a bonus on the Shade in lower ones to help it catch up quicker.

The farther out Shades give more.

The Gaze bonus stacks, but has diminishing returns: 1 +10, 2 +20, 3 +27, 4 +31, 5 +35, etc. I usually do it at 2-3.

[shadow leaf]

So i can corrupt age of winter and lance gets corruption too?

[candid elm]

No, if you have higher Corruption in one, when you do a lower Corruption Shade you'll see a +Bonus Corruption listed. Depending on how much higher, it can be a pretty large Bonus. It's to help you raise up the lower ones faster.

[shadow leaf]

Nice still

[dry sail]

thx

[left jackal]

i see same item on auction, same stat 100%, like 5 of them, frost claw exalted selling 30m each, are there dupe bug?

[scarlet atlas]

is infinite loading while changing zones still a thing? It happens to me every few echoes

[candid elm]

Yeah it's pretty decent. I was doing one last night and had maybe 350-ish Corruption as the highest. Then did a Shade in a 100 Corruption and it gave a +99 Bonus. With the Shade and Gaze that one fight put it at something like 235. So it'll be faster to raise the lower ones later

[shadow leaf]

Well im going for empowered for the first time.. 83 lvl HC runedude 💩

Guys I finished campaign and side quests, all completed. I am missing 3 skill points and 1 idol slot. Any ideas? 😐

[keen verge]

I wanna first off saying boy I love this game the campaign is amazing and challenging and now I’m on the end game it’s fantastic, is there any talks of raising the level cap

[desert quest]

No

[exotic knot]

the "raising levelcap" is corruption and rolling better gear inch by inch

[hushed widget]

Any Hydra runemaster enjoyers? I'm considering body armor with either +2 runic invo and slammed fire penetration or +3 runic invo without legendary potential. https://i.imgur.com/GsjLjnM.png

[plain flicker]

anyone have a fix on the LE-65 server connection lost error?

[dry sail]

play offline 🙂

[plain flicker]

obviously thats an option, but not what im asking.

[candid elm]

+2 vs +3 is just going to be that one extra Skill point, so it depends on what that one extra point will give you. In addition to the added Fire Pen, the LP one also has a higher roll on the More Damage.

[sterile comet]

Anyone else having issues with prophecies for void horrors? I keep killing them (they always show up in beacon echos) and the prophecies never get fulfilled

[dry sail]

beacon horrors don't count unfortunately

[hushed widget]

the extra point would be 28th so according to maxroll "Transcribed in Power": additional spell dmg and cast speed per rune for 1 sec

[sterile comet]

Gotcha --- BOO! lol

Thank you -- that explains that

[hushed widget]

but just looking at the numbers when running echoes it seems like the +2 with fire pen has much higher crits

[candid elm]

Well it's wherever you want to put it. The Fire Pen and higher More roll is probably better damage. But you can test it with the training dummies in Champions Rest, Divine Era, West of Heoborea

[shut vector]

When farming monos should we kill the main boss as soon as we get the stability

[lunar geyser]

There's no reason not to - it gives you gazes to push corruption, and since you're in that mono farming you usually wanna farm the boss for something as well

[shut vector]

Thanks bro!

[heady hound]

hello, does anyone knows why prices of bows (talons of valor) are so expensive? it was 35-50mln lp4. right now 350-600 ? what

[lunar geyser]

inflation? Market pricing? I run CoF so i don't have to care about market shenanigans.

[grand mirage]

is the core of the mountain droprate at T4 Lightless arbor really 12%? I've done this dungeon now for a week and over 20 times minimum and not seen a single drop

[storm blaze]

sounds like rng to me

[patent copper]

lp 4 is super rare and falconer is super powerful. That's why.

[heady hound]

im asking about price 7x higher

[honest birch]

dupes and rmt mostly

[dense pier]

anyone else go to drag on equipment as youre entering a dungeon and they disappear.. just lovely i guess it threw them on the ground

[patent copper]

The longer the game runs, the more gold the bots shuffle up. Inflation economy. Like every rpg/mmo,

[spring meteor]

If that's the case yeah that'll do that. I guess im curious of why drag equipment around right before transition in the first place?

[heady hound]

hmm but still kinda hilarious ;D maybe in weekend people will get more of them cause more people gonna play

[dense pier]

it was taking a while to load so i figured i had time

[honest birch]

that makes it even worse

also, any tips to get faster through the dungeon? often these barrieres annoys me immensely cause I have to search a long time for a path

also didnt expect them to just throw on the ground if my mouse never leaves my invy

[paper pond]

Greetings gamers! I am pretty new to Last Epoch, but I am completely enamored with the game. I feel like it took everything that made the Diablos, Torchlights, and PoE great and slammed them into its own, unique and immersive story. Looking for some help with some of the end-gameish big brain things like item filters (import or should I make my own?) and target farming for Eternity Cache stuff. I have looked at some guide and have a decent understanding of things, but I could still use some help. Please reach out to me via dm! Health and Happiness gamers!

[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/1-0-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v4/25176
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/

[candid elm]

The barriers / blocked paths are randomized each time. If you're in Temporal Sanctum, you can time shift and see if the barrier doesn't exist in the other time.

[paper pond]

Thank you for the links; I will check them out!
I found a build pretty early on that I am enjoying working towards and the creator has a loot filter made for it. From your experience, does this loot filter seem reasonable. I guess I am kind of ignorant as to exactly WHAT I should be looking for. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/B5PExG3Q

[raw glacier]

Every time I look up a flask/ explosive trap build their traps cost 8 mana with double -5 mana cost rings, I copied their skill upgrades exactly and I have double -4 rings but my explosive trap costs 13, does anyone know why?

[candid elm]

It's listed as 8 because Explosive Trap base cost is 8 mana. I don't believe the build websites list the cost after the passives and gear changes it.

[raw glacier]

oh that makes way more sense then, thank you sm

[paper pond]

I have an idea as to what I could do for a loot filter. Should I just look at the build I am referencing and just add a rule for each stat that I see on each item/idol in the build guide? Is that a good idea or is it just tedious and silly?

[candid elm]

Looks like you're doing a Blast Rain Marksman build. This build scaling section of the Maxroll guide for that build will probably do a better job of explaining it than I could. There's an offense and defense tab that each talk about useful Affixes for the build https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/blast-rain-marksman-guide#build-scaling-header

[topaz tiger]

Any idea why tier 7 experimental volatile zombie belt couldn't be searched in stash while tier 6 below can be searched with the term "volatile" or "zombies"?

[frozen loom]

I am trying to farm Fundamental Critereon, should i just do echos or could it drop from the Monolith boss too? Its a blood, frost, death drop

[candid elm]

For items that are not restricted drops, "exclusive echo reward" and "target farm" refer to how in timelines you may find echoes with a reward of random Unique/Set item of a certain type. For extra drop chances.

This does not mean the item is only from that timeline. The items from the special echo rewards are all world drop items, so you could randomly get them from anywhere, including Rune of Ascendance and Circle of Fortune Prophecies.

Example, if you're trying to find a Unique Body Armor that is not a boss-only item, one option is to run Blood, Frost, and Death timeline. There you may find echoes with the reward of a random Unique/Set Body Armor. Extra drop chances. The "exclusive" part refers to how that timeline is the only one that may have the random Unique/Set Body Armor echo reward.

List of which timeline can have which special rewards here https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith Also, these special echo are less common in Regular and more common in Empowered. Best to farm in Empowered.

[round wasp]

So uh dumb question but do blessings not apply immediately? I picked one up that was 42% increased crit chance but my crit chance and damage numbers didn't change . The blessing icons have little purple lines around them that look like maybe a progress indicator but the blessing explanation on the in game guide doesn't mention anything like that

[frozen loom]

its an exclusive echo reward, but i cant tell if it can drop just from the boss or from farming the echos

[honest birch]

the line around it is how good the roll of it is. it is increased so itd have increased your base crit chance

[candid elm]

No it's not. Fundamental Criterion is not a restricted drop. You could randomly get it anywhere. Yes, you can find echoes in Blood, Frost, and Death that have an echo reward of a random Unique or Set Body Armour for extra drop chances. It's just extra drop chances though. You can also use Rune of Ascendance and CoF Prophecies for extra drop chances.

[round wasp]

Weird, my critical strike chance was 8% before and after picking it up

[frozen loom]

@candid elm thanks that makes more senswe

[grave matrix]

hey guys, a good build to push corruption with Sorcerer?
something good for bosses and cleaning monoliths , i was trying meteor and fireball but is kinda meh

[paper pond]

Thank you for the help.

[candid elm]

You're welcome. Sorry if this is confusing. The "exclusive echo reward" and "target farm" just mean that in that timeline you may find echoes with a reward of random Unique/Set item of that type. Extra drop chances. The special echo reward of a random Unique/Set Body Armor is just in Blood, Frost, and Death.

But the item itself you could possibly get anywhere. Feel free to try Rune of Ascendance and CoF Prophecies for it as well. Basically you're just trying to drop extra Unique Body Armors until you get lucky and it shows up.

[frozen loom]

Ya, I just did 5x unique body armor for blood, frost death and it didnt drop off the final boss but its okay, easy boss for my build to farm

[coral dagger]

Is this an ok place to drop a build planner for feedback? Or is there a better channel for that

[frozen loom]

Try your class section

[livid bloom]

Anyone else have fps issues in monoliths? 32gb ram i7-10700k rx6800 144hz monitor. I get 60fps (with lower dips) while in combat no matter what the graphics settings are

[livid crystal]

how does everyone organize their stash? need some ideas as I'm currently on dump1 to dump15

[lyric vigil]

how do you tell if an expeirmental is exalted? the leftside colorr must be purple instead of yellowish?

[honest birch]

hold ctrl+shift itl tell youy

[lyric vigil]

where? ctrl+shift does nothing

[candid elm]

If the item has at least one T6+ Affix, it's an Exalted item. Yes, the upper left side will be purple instead of the yellow you see on a rare experimental item.

[native sail]

ctrl+alt not ctrl+shift

[lyric vigil]

thx guys

[gaunt iris]

i found my first key for temporal sanctum with lv 54, how hard are the dungeons, should i wait till i have a higher CoF rank ?

[stone granite]

The purpose of that dungeon is to make legendaries so I wouldn't even bother until you have a unique with legendary potential that you are ready to craft

[candid elm]

It's also a good way to skip into Act 9. But if you're 54 maybe you already have gotten that far.

[honest birch]

ctrl+alt my bad

[gaunt iris]

and dungeons like lightless arbor ?

[dense pier]

is there a reason my idols have like 150 crit chance for minions but my character tab says mini ctr chance 13?

[native sail]

150% increased crit chance.
Base crit is 5%.

[lyric vigil]

ok so i used rune of removal and some items got downgraded to rares, is there a chancee to make them exalted again ?

[sterile comet]

No, you can't craft anything higher than a tier 5 on a single affix. Exalted is always T6 or T7

[candid elm]

There's multiple tiers of all the Dungeons. Lightless Arbor has Tiers from area level 20 to area level 100.

Besides the boss-only items, each dungeon has a special reward at the end. Lightless Arbor has a vault door you can throw gold at for extra rewards. That vault door and stash tabs are the gold sinks in this game, well if you don't count Merchant's Guild and the Bazaar.

[errant gust]

So, MG is just better than CoF now right?

[spring meteor]

Based on what? Its "better" for whichever playstyle it fits for.

[candid elm]

I'm burned out from trading in PoE. So I'm really enjoying CoF. I appreciate that they gave us the option to choose.

[runic nova]

Idk how many people are doing 1k plus corruption on farm pretty quickly but I want to know if you can tell the rate of reward vs when you were around 200 corruption. Even if you are farming over 1k I'd like to know if it's worth it. If you're not farming that and are just going off the definition of corruption please just hold your comments. Looking for personal experience

[stray bolt]

I'm at 1.8k and the drops are noticeably higher. I would say most uniques have at least 1lp, with a lot more 2lp drops. The 3lp and 4lp seem just as rare as any other corruption.

[minor glacier]

Did the animation from Elemental nova got changed? I wanted to try this build https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/elemental-nova-sorcerer-guide but it dosnt look the like in the tool tip.

[runic nova]

Thank you

[spring meteor]

Elemental nova can look different based on the element enabled on the skill's tree. Maybe thats whats confusing you.

[errant gust]

They keep nerfing CoF and making it worse while MG remains untouched. If it was up to preference at launch, and this amount of nerfs have happened, then it would only make sense that they would no longer be equal right?

[spring meteor]

The so-called "nerfs" hardly matter. If you're getting this notion from reading reddit threads or something, perhaps think a bit outside of that. At the core, CoF and MG cater to playstyles. Debating whether which one is 'better' is literally meaningless.

[errant gust]

I think that that is true to a certain extent, but at the same time one play style shouldn't be rewarded more than the other.

[red rune]

Can gold gambling give T6s or T7s??

[dapper swift]

They keep fixing CoF. not nerfing

[shadow field]

Hello,
Can a friend give me an item somehow?
What are limitations?

[candid elm]

No. The gold gambler can only give items with required level of 40 and below and does not give any Exalted or Unique items.

The Soul Gambler in Soulfire Bastion can, though.

[spring meteor]

That literally makes no sense. I really don't understand where this whole this is more rewarding thing comes from. Like they are literally two different reward mechanisms. What do you like better? You wanna trade up your upgrades or you wanna do some drop manipulations and farm your own? Thats the question you should be asking instead of reading other people's weird fomo notion on which one is supposedly better.

[honest birch]

the change in the glyph cost basicly makes no difference eiter way. you use so few of those glyphs either way

[candid elm]

If you're playing together and an item drops while you're in the same area, you can click on their profile and give it to them. They then use the gift button in the inventory to receive it.

If an item drops when you're not playing together, you'll need to use Resonance to trade it.

[foggy salmon]

@candid elm do you actually play the game? i always see you here sir, helping out others! very kind of u man!

[red rune]

Too bad, would have been something for gold to at least get T6s or something.

Wonder what other uses they will come up with

[shadow field]

Thanks for info.

[candid elm]

I do sometimes in the evenings. I'm at work right now, so just chatting when I have down time.

@red rune gold sinks are Lightless Arbor vault door and stash tabs.

[red rune]

Can CoF drops be given to other CoF players?

[candid elm]

With the gifting and resonance stuff, yes.

[red rune]

Seems to be an advantage if multiple people work together to target farm for a group vs each trying to solo find stuff

[errant gust]

Just because they cater to different playstyles doesn't mean you shouldn't care about balance. Each class has a different playstyle, but it would suck if primalist was super busted and everything else could barely progress in the game. It's the same with factions. If MG was able to complete end-game builds with like, an average of 5 hours of farming, meanwhile CoF takes 100 hours to get the same, then that's an issue. It makes it feel like players are being punished for how they want to play. The way things are going, CoF is going to end up feeling awful to play.

[raven timber]

So I picked a blessing I didn't like, would I need to run mono's again, do the 3 Echo's to choose a blessing again?

[honest birch]

id wait untill empowered to farm blessings

[spring meteor]

🤷‍♂️ absolute disagree but not sure why you asked in the first place about which is better then. Go MG my dude, sounds like you already made a decision before asking.

[fiery cipher]

Unfortunately, yes. Though I've heard rumors this is being addressed for next Cycle.

[minor glacier]

Well i think i leveled it all but it still look different

[raven timber]

I'm crazy far, only 70 and still not fully geared :/

[candid elm]

For gifting you need to be in the same area. For resonance you need them to drop. MG tends to be faster as you can just immediately buy what you want. I like CoF though.

[frosty lily]

did the VFX for light nova get changed at some point, because It looks mad different from the one I saw in a video

[errant gust]

I was trying to see other's opinions on the current balance situation between the two factions

[visual violet]

When I combine a Unique and an Exalted with the forge at temporal sanctum, which level requirement does it pertain?

[spring meteor]

Fair. I started MG at launch, got bored AF up to rank 9, went CoF and havent looked back since. Until MG has some changes, I'll stay CoF for LE. I'll get my trading fix with PoE next week.

[timber hinge]

Are ward generating builds the only way to play endgame in this game?

[candid elm]

What do you tell people who want to play offline? They added CoF for people who don't want to buy items. The original Kickstarter years ago talked about having a bazaar. More recently they talked about maybe not having the bazaar. People wanted it and there was a lot of discussion. There was a survey about what people wanted and it was about 50/50 between people wanting item trading and people who didn't want item trading. So they let people pick what they want to do. Pick what you want. I think it's great that CoF is an option for people who want it.

Same way that it's great that Hardcore and Solo Character Found is an option for people who want it. If you don't want it, don't use it. Play how you want.

[candid elm]

Just the Unique required level. Yes you can make wild leveling uniques.

[honest birch]

no

[errant gust]

From what I've seen, it seems like offline players aren't a fan of CoF getting nerfed due to the other faction abusing certain things.

[spring meteor]

Depends on corruption level on what you consider endgame. It's not like life based builds cant do endgame at all. Ward, as of right now, is just too easy to be generated which is why a good chunk of them push stupid levels of corruption. I don't go past 700 and I have builds that are pure life thats fine.

[visual violet]

So I can put in an Exalted with like.. Level 90 requirement with a Unique that's level 5 and it spits out a level 5 legendary?

[chrome ermine]

are they any fast ways to get gold?

[spring meteor]

Yes.

[rain path]

i keep crashin, or at least my game closes, when ever i go to fortress walls, any fixes?

[cinder hamlet]

just looted my first 4 LP item. Does any build use the staff Dragonflame Edict? it seems like a fire minion staff

[candid elm]

What nerf? The Arena keys and XP Tome? I personally don't care about that. The XP Tome doubling was nice, but I understand why they fixed it.

[visual violet]

Disgusting.

[honest birch]

they are refering to them upping the propehecy cost of glyphs of despair. even tough you almost never use those.

[gleaming sluice]

what's the viability/fun factor of a spellblade? i get that its i guess weaker or not as "meta" as runemaster but i was just trying to see how fun it is

[candid elm]

Yeah it's a more recent change. To encourage you do that. In the past it could use Affix to increase the level

[candid elm]

That's also personally doesn't bother me. I have so many Despair just from drops

[honest birch]

thats the nerf they are complaining about. and then the key and xp book thing

[candid elm]

Yeah, I play CoF and none of those were a big deal to me personally. I mean, before there were none of these bonuses. Now there's tons of bonuses. They could gut 90% of the bonuses and it would still be extra stuff than before

[visual violet]

What are glyphs of despair again?

[candid elm]

The Seal one. Well one of the Seal ones, Rune of Research also Seals.

[spring meteor]

Aside from loving to eat up your FP, it allows you a chance to seal a non-experimental affix

[visual violet]

Aah okay. Yeah welp.

[frail lion]

can you slam experimental items into uniques?

[visual violet]

You can, if they're exalted

[spring meteor]

Yes, as long as it is not sealed. Same requirements needed as any other slam otherwise.

[frail lion]

oh okay, so let's say, experimental gloves, they'd just need to have a tier 6-7 affix that makes u lose health, right?

[honest birch]

no they just nheed ANY t6-t7 afix

[spring meteor]

Any of the 4 affixes can be T6+. The experimental doesnt have to be T6+.

[frail lion]

oh alright, thanks guys

so in order to duplicate an item, it MUST have at least 1 forging potential left, right? can you still sell the duplicated item? or does it copy the faction as well?

[quaint breach]

does corruption affect boss drop? like for example I wanna farm frostbite shackles from formosus

[errant gust]

the 10x increase to the glyph prophecy cost

[candid elm]

Rune of Creation needs FP, yes. It sets both items to 0 FP after use. Items can only be bought/sold/traded once. So I don't think it will let you flip items. I haven't tested that though.

[hybrid oriole]

Could anyone please explain to me what is weavers will?

[candid elm]

Items that randomly upgrade as you use them. Add Affixes and upgrade them. The higher the number, the more upgrades it does. 28 is the highest.

[frail lion]

i assume not cuz then you could dupe a GM item then give it to your CoF character

[candid elm]

Personally, that didn't bother me. I have found way more Despairs from just drops than I need.

[thorny hedge]

Weaver's Will drops on Ler Item (mostly the erased stuff). You go bonk monsters ded. You get notification on screen that Weaver's will added a new affix or upgraded one. You check, and either be sad or happy.

All Weaver's Will items are legendaries. The stats they gain are random and revealed by killing things. You have 0 control over anything, you cannot forge it, you can do nothing but see how it turns out.

This is seperate from Legendary Potential where you have influence through the Exalt you fuse.

[hybrid oriole]

So I just need to equip them, and they will add affixes on their own?

[gleaming sluice]

so question about dread shade... whats the duration and does it randomly choose a minion to apply it to? becasue when i hover over my dreadlord sometimes it will take the buff and sometimes it chooses another minion that is near it even though dreadlord is highlighted and his hp bar is showing

[sudden trellis]

do boots get ward per missing health experimental affix?

[narrow hornet]

Hello guys, may i ask how to make red rarity item from that unique one with some nice stats ? or stats are just random ?

[candid elm]

Yes. Up to 4 Affixes and up to T7 upgrades. Try it out, maybe you'll randomly get something useful for your build

[quaint breach]

using Eternity Cache from Dungeon Temporal Sanctum
you need unique with Legendary Potential and exalted item

when merged, the affixes from exalted item will transfered to the unique item

[hybrid oriole]

I did get gloves for my endgame build so yeah ill do it

[candid elm]

No just Gloves
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AGwdgrEA

[narrow hornet]

Okey i got it that semms pretty nice thank you. For my sure that purple stat will go to the unique item right ?

[compact mulch]

How long are cycles in LE?

[jade mountain]

If i have 50k favor in cof right now and i change to mg, if i change back to cof will my 50k favor stay or gone?

[vocal crystal]

Anyone know if a 4 LP Kelthan Blasting Agent is worth keeping or know of a build that uses it? Thank you in advance

[quaint breach]

yes, purple stat/affixes will transfered to the unique
but mind you, each unique has different legendary potential, ranging from 1 to 4

so if your unique only has 1 legendary potential, it will only take 1 of 4 purple affixes

4 legendary potential means all 4 affixes will transfer

[narrow hornet]

Soo better for me to only transfer only one at time and then next one and next one ?)

[visual violet]

Is there any use in bringing Crit Chance above 100%

[candid elm]

Isn't it around 20-30 seconds? It's quite a while. The Lone Watcher passive makes it last longer. I'd have to log onto my Necro later to check.

[quaint breach]

it's permanent

[somber jolt]

I think they are saying take eg a lp4 item and add affixes 1 at a time but iirc it's all or nothing so ud want to craft up ur exalted ur gonna slam

[narrow hornet]

i dont understand so if i want 2 affixes i can transfer it from 2 separate items ?

[thorny hedge]

1 Exalt. Once it goes Legendary it never goes back.

[near storm]

At which corruption point does fixed/bonus stability stop (or nearly stop) scaling? I'm at 850 and the first echoes in a web still give respectable 86, just like a few hundred corruption ago.

[narrow hornet]

Yea i understand but could i got there 2 affixes from 2 items ?

[candid elm]

I don't believe so. I don't think this game has something like over crits. Outside of maybe Crit Avoid echo mod I don't know what going over 100% would do. But I don't think people build around that echo mod. I'm sure someone will pop in to correct if this is wrong.

[thorny hedge]

No. You get 1 shot that is it. The Vault only takes 1 Exalt and 1 Unique with Legendary Potential and spits out a Legendary.

[somber jolt]

No as after u slam it it loses its lp so if it has 1 lp it'll take 1 affix from ur item if it has lp4 it'll take 4 affixes

[river whale]

got a 3LP nightbringer. FLURRY Multishot build

minimum required slam?

t6 flat phys bow
t6 atk speed

[narrow hornet]

okey so only one item could be transfer in it

[candid elm]

If someone didn't already answer you, favor is lost. You keep the rank in case you want to switch back.

[somber jolt]

Yes and the lp value determines how many affixes are transfered so ideally ud craft up the item u wanna slam onto ur unique to make sure it gets good affixes

[hybrid oriole]

is there a way to know which bosses are in which monos?

[candid elm]

List https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith or https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines

[hybrid oriole]

thanks a lot

[candid elm]

You're welcome : )

[narrow hornet]

well and how i can craft item with stats i want ?

[candid elm]

Here's a summary.

1. Find a Legendary Potential version of the Unique.
2. Get an Exalted item of the same general item type with 4 Affixes. Sealed isn't counted or used. You can craft on the item and 0 FP is still usable.
3. Run Temporal Sanctum and combine them.
4. It randomly transfers LP # of Affixes. 1 LP transfers 1 of 4 randomly. 2 transfers 2, etc.

So it's pretty random, can take a lot of farming, and crafting attempts to get one specific thing you're looking for.

[thorny hedge]

Press F and explore. Most things are well explained in there.

[zenith token]

guys my character dupilcated anyone got this issue ?

[dense oyster]

Anyone know a fix to this? I did a camp skip on 2 characters my main Necro I can’t finish the last quest called “To Keeper’s Camp” which really isn’t a big deal but it’s more annoying. I have pretty much tried everything. My alt has the “To Keeper’s Camp” and “Liath and Thetima” which I can’t complete either of them and that is actually stopping me from even going to the Bazaar because it says it unlocks during campaign.

[narrow hornet]

thank you guys

[candid elm]

Maybe someone can warp you to those locations. Unfortunately you can't currently hide / un-pin the main quests. You can hide the quest tracker, but that also hides the echo objective.

As far as getting to the Bazaar, you can use Temporal Sanctum dungeon exit to get spit out into Act 9. Or have a friend warp you there.

[dense oyster]

Keepers camp for sure bugged prob have to do with the skip I did…and the bazaar yeah might have to get someone to TP me.

[terse fjord]

@candid elm Incase no one has said it recently, thanks for being awesome, I see you in this chat being helpful ALL the time

[candid elm]

Thank you : )

[candid elm]

Keeper's Camp is the first town. I was able to warp someone there who's friend had power leveled them and they'd completely skipped it.

[dense oyster]

Yeah I went there on both characters & nothing. Even stepped outside and went in and nothing. The skip for sure messed up a few things.

[dense oyster]

As for the other quest you talk to the NPC and you finish talking to her and then nothing happens.

[weary anvil]

When you make healing hands into melee. Does it it scales off of melee attack speed or cast speed? if cast speed, will is it a bug?

[cold frigate]

does higher corruption make favor gain faster?

[dense oyster]

Yea it does

[cold frigate]

by how much? is there a chart or calculation somewhere?

[fresh ledge]

is there a known workaround for infinite loading issue? it happens pretty frequently when partying up with people far away

[visual violet]

So, this is less of a "I need help" question but still an #❔┃ask-the-community question:

What's the most fun build you guys ever played in Last Epoch, and why? I am having so much fun so far with my Falconer but I also want to try something new and want to know what other people had a blast with so that I can maybe try it out. I was thinking about doing something Lightning-ish because there's so many cool Uniques that do that but I am so overwhelmed with choices.

[vagrant wave]

Has anyone experienced the bug where you suddenly cannot deal damage in a dungeon or echo? I am losing keys because the only solution I have found is leaving the area and returning

[blazing geyser]

Anyone know what fixes were in hotfix 1.0.4.1?

[dense oyster]

You know I’m not 100% sure but I had a buddy that was running around 1500 and he was getting about 100k favor an hour lol

[hybrid oriole]

I am a Runemaster, and I got an amulet that gives me 50% elemental dmg and 97% lightning dmg, are those stats better than gaining 7% crit chance?

[candid elm]

Runemaster is pretty cool. But can definitely be button intensive. Plasma Orb Runemaster and Spark Charge Runemaster both do a lot of Lightning damage, if that's something you're interested in trying.

I'm enjoying my Torment Warlock a lot right now

[hybrid oriole]

I tried pretty much like 7 builds, and stopped at FrostClaw Runemaster, its pretty easy and fun

[vagrant wave]

pls help lol

[hybrid oriole]

that sounds strange, maybe its a bug and you should report it

[pale bobcat]

Playing rouge. Best way to leech from poision?

[candid elm]

Probably Bleeding Heart unique amulet. Gives you leech from ALL damage, including your Poison DoTs.

[vagrant wave]

it's been reported in game. Was just wondering if anyone was experiencing the same issue.

[pale bobcat]

bless you ty

[minor gyro]

See if either of these help https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1214555602966151169

[hybrid oriole]

how should I use my rune of ascendence optimally?

[gleaming sluice]

does anyone know if xp modifiers are affected by xp cap for lower level players?

[candid elm]

You're welcome. The Bleed on Spell probably won't do much to you as Rogue https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCMwVgo

[minor gyro]

@candid elm thanks, Alt+X worked for me. Also hilarious thumbs down on that page.

[candid elm]

Unless you're doing CoF, you just use it on anything. It's same general item type. Like Ring -> Ring. CoF can use on CoF items for extra use chance. It just doesn't give boss-only and other restricted drops.

Simulator here can give you a general idea https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[gleaming sluice]

ie if im a lvl 20 player in a lvl 100 mono with +100% xp gain, will i get lvl 30 xp + the 100% gain, or will i still only get lvl 30 xp

[hybrid oriole]

I am still too beginner to understand short cut terms, what does CoF means 😭

[gleaming sluice]

circle of fortuen

[chilly wolf]

i like to use rune of ascendance on boots, since some cool boots can come out that will help levelling

[candid elm]

Sorry, Circle of Fortune is one of the item factions you can join when you get to Maj'Elka in Chapter 9

[hybrid oriole]

Oh I am CoF, does that changes anything?

[sudden trellis]

a prophecy's condition says (14 Corruption) is it really 14 corruption or is it 140 cor. but a visual bug?

[candid elm]

Circle of Fortune rank 2 gives:

45% chance for Runes of Ascendance to be preserved when used items that require at least Circle of Fortune Rank 1.

[candid elm]

It's 14 but you can go higher. That's just the minimum.

[dense oyster]

I’ve been reported In chat I’m assuming says my comments have been filtered. Submitted a ticket anyway to check what happened?

I haven’t been able to talk since yesterday lol

[plucky trout]

How to set up filter to show Marauder/Rending items?

[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/1-0-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v4/25176
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/

[plucky trout]

I have a rule that hides normal/magic/rare items and then a rule that shows weapons with marauder/rending affixed with at least 2 of these
If i set it to 1, i can see the item, but if its 2 then not

[sturdy stump]

just missed a 75% slam with a 3LP siphon of anguish 😭

[honest birch]

you could alternatively ask this guy. hes really good at explaining how to use the filter hes live rn https://www.twitch.tv/cursedboy__

[rain galleon]

Can anyone help me understand how i check my individual companion stats?
I use wolves and a bear right now, and i've granted my wolves the "legendary bite" feature, which would give it "Melee crit chance +5%"

When i view my char screen there's only one stat under minion called "minion critical strike chance" but that can't be right, seeing as my minion crit chance depends on what minion. Where do i view this information?

[wary coral]

Anyone knows if you turn Frost Claw to a fire spell, does it looses its freeze rate?

[wooden crystal]

whats the best way to get legendaries? the orange unique things

[errant gust]

The best way to farm uniques is in Empowered Monoliths. You get Legendaries from crafting Uniques at the end of the Temporal Sanctum.

[wary coral]

@wooden crystalYou can only craft them or buy them.

[mellow shell]

Does the passive blast radius 25% increase on minion area skills actualy works? I tried with and without.... my explosive Ballista aoe size is the same. Perk aint working? (Blast radius on falconer tree)

[stoic cypress]

At what point do yall typically give up on a weaver item? when the First Affix is trash, second affix?

[ocean surge]

Hi, what does it mean if an item has a stat like +1 dive bomb? does it trigger the ability twice if i only use it once?

[honest birch]

no it means it gives you an extra skill point for the skill

[ocean surge]

ah ok thanks, so if i unequip it the extra point is gone right?

[honest birch]

yes

[lyric vigil]

tier 5 summon wraith and tier 7 intelligence or tier 6 summon wraith and tier 5 intelligence? for chest affixes. other 2 are same

[acoustic thicket]

Favour is locked to your character right?

[ocean surge]

ty

[honest birch]

no.

[sturdy stump]

is there a maximum bonus you can get to a skill?
like if I slam a unique that already gives + to a skill, can I slam +4 to that skill into that and get +5?

[acoustic thicket]

But you lose favour when you swap factions right?

Say my main is a Primalist with 10,000 favour in the MG.
Then I make an alt Sentinel that also joins the MG. That means the 10,000 favour is on the sentinel too, right?

So I go back to my Primalist, and swap from MG to CoF, but my Sentinel is still in the MG with 10,000 favour.

Can I retain my favour, swapping between factions, by having alts be a part of those factions?

[echo osprey]

why can't i post anything in "ask-the-devs?
anyway here is my question for you now.
is there any announcement or update on ward being a broken defensive mechanic that outshines every other way of protection by a lot?
when i approach making a build it is always around exploiting ward and getting 10-30k and facetanking everything. it is beyond boring to always having to rely on the same mechanic.

[silk pecan]

Guys i see theres full health ward builds and low life ward builds. Which is better?

[honest birch]

no that will reset your favour if you swap

[acoustic thicket]

So my sentinel also loses the 10k favour even though he’s still in the MG and didn’t swap factions?

[solemn tulip]

does weapon affixes affect Forge Weapon minions ? or just the implicit of weapon ?

[acoustic thicket]

Safe to assume it’ll be addressed in season 2

[honest birch]

yes since your swapping factions

[candid elm]

I don't know if there's a cap. Yes you can have +5 to a Skill.

[acoustic thicket]

It sucks that even swapping factions on one character destroys all of your favour across all of your characters that are a part of that faction

[tardy yew]

does anyone which monos would give me diamond matrons as mobs? quest bugged and i cant access sapphire quarter
