[mighty fiber]

very true, but my point is that i paid for a product, even for the ultimate version, and i do kinda expect a decent product, thus im allowed to have some feedback for the betterment of the game, no?

[surreal verge]

Well, that's because it's an empowered boss only rare drop. (No, we don't know the actual rates of those.)

[queen elk]

Yes, I asked that because it has a most interesting combination of tags. It(?) is a companion(so those affixes), but its attack is a physical spell. That reminds me. If I transmute dmg from phys to cold, it won't scale with +phys(either raw or %)? Or if it does, does it get added / multiplied then converted to cold damage?

[surreal verge]

Companions are minions, so just do usual minion rules. (EG. it doesn't affect it unless it says 'minion')
No, it scales sorely with cold.

[queen elk]

What's the point of those roots it casts? Not only do they have giga CD(one of the highest in game), but it also has some very weird targeting logic for them. And the crit reduction(on aura) is: raw crit * 0,28 (at max points)? So, for 25% crit: 7%.

[surreal verge]

Roots them down and does physical DoT.

It's the same as the crit avoid stat, where it's (Total crit x 0.28)

[queen elk]

Thank you. Yeah, but targeting logic and cd are awful lol. Not to mention how many points they devour.

[surreal verge]

My knowledge with primalist is pretty thin, so I don't know other than node reading and understanding what it says-

[modest trout]

Are there hybrid-health idols?

[surreal verge]

If you meant "BOth affixes are health", yes.

[modest trout]

I am talking about + X health / + x % health.

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[upbeat cloud]

I am still being indecisive about what top tier build to roll after op healing hands paladin. Any recommendations? Just want it not to be too clunky to pilot

[wind kraken]

When slamming a unique item is there a chance the item gets destroyed in the process?

[surreal verge]

Not the unique. The exalted is gone. Everytime.

[wind kraken]

perfect. Thank you 🙂

[velvet olive]

anyone else have issues with the "overlay map opactity" setting not saving?

[radiant magnet]

can minions get ward?

[surreal verge]

no

[boreal lake]

anyone else with broken map icons after patch?

[thorn meteor]

https://prnt.sc/k-jONxatZXEZ Am I the only one getting errors?
Or does everyone have this problem?(general chat)

[spring plank]

Other than spell blade anyone else use frostbite?

[upbeat cloud]

gib me fun OP builds other than paladin plz

[kind ridge]

is there any amount of minion health regen that keeps wraiths up permanently?

[surreal verge]

It's more realistic to give them leech and make them survive combat.

[orchid wyvern]

anyone elses chat broken in game? i cant see anything

[wild matrix]

Patch notes looks small for a 3gb update?

[forest hazel]

size of updates isn't directly correlated with how many changes are made, depends on how many files are touched and how the game is structured to handle changes to files

take a look at POE for a worst offender, last time I had it downloaded they had large amount of assets stored as a single file and even small changes that touched that file would result in very lengthy updates as it had to decompress, change, then recompress the file

[warm rover]

not sure if this is my internet (wired) or my pc (which plays other games on high graphics) but is anyone experienced small lags in echos? im not sure if there is an issue bc of the many many animations from my mage at the same time but while i am playing it feels like i cant move or walk sometimes while attacking, just hoping that the attacks are registering so i can keep ward and not die. my graphics are on low, any tips on how to fix it?

[wild matrix]

I think when the game went to 1.0 there was ram leaks, but idk if thats still a thing
Wired connection and other games on high doesnt really ellaborate much though.

[restive lotus]

What empowered mono is best to farm for high cost drops? Assuming I have all of the required blessings

[warm rover]

hm so a possible server instability? when i am in a party, the lag is much worse even when partying up with people on the same server.

not sure i can elaborate, haven't had this issue with other games recently

[wild matrix]

Are the people in the party experiencing lag?

[warm rover]

they didn't say so, i was just lagging so hard i couldn't control the character and then died bc of it

[surreal verge]

Depends on what you're looking for.

[wild matrix]

if they dont have lag its not a server issue. Check your internet connection and validate and/or reinstall the game

[restive lotus]

Whatever sells for a lot of gold 😂 and isn't too hard to sell

[surreal verge]

Then your mileage may vary, if you meant MG.

[restive lotus]

Yes merchant

[surreal verge]

Probably something that's meta

[spring plank]

Does spellblade scale poorly in higher corruption?

[hoary iris]

Camera smoothing on or off?

[honest birch]

This is like asking what sensitivity to play on

[hoary iris]

Is that effecting anything becous for me is same on all 3 mode. Hhahah

[velvet basalt]

How’s the controller changes for the controller users out there? Can Y button now be rebound?

[velvet olive]

can the skills and specialisations be respecced whenever you want and how many times can you respecc them?

[icy drift]

Yes you can do it whenever however many times you want

The only thing you can't change is mastery

[velvet olive]

mastery is the subclass right?

[icy drift]

Passives, skill trees and skill specialization can be respecced at pretty much any point for a small gold fee when it comes to passives, and at the cost of de-leveling your skills when it comes to skill tree and skill specialization, but you get accelerated xp gain for the skill whenever you do so to help you catch up to where you were

[icy drift]

Correct

[velvet olive]

gotcha, thanks for the info :) feel better now that i can just do anything and everything to try it out without having to relevel a whole new char

[candid elm]

Skills you can respec at any time, anywhere, for no cost. The respecced skill will drop to a minimum skill level and the minimum increases as you level, up to minium 10 of 20. You'll relevel the new skill with increased experience. At high levels you can relevel a skill very fast. Usually takes me 1-2 echoes to get a skill back to 20, which are this game's end game map like content.

Passives you can respec in town with the brain icon NPC. It just costs the in game gold that you'll have tons of. There's basic limitations like you need to have 20 passive points in your base class to have points into any of the 3 masteries, including the ones you didn't chose as your main mastery. But it's pretty easy to remove points as needed.

[velvet olive]

awesome, definitely reassuring then
love that kind of respeccing, makes the game feel like it has more freedom ^^
thanks for the info! :)

[candid elm]

You can kind of think of this game as having 15 classes as you can change everything besides your initial class and chosen mastery. You're able to still put points in the other masteries for your class to the half way point.

[velvet olive]

oh
so i can put points into say falconer even if i chose marksman? thats actually really cool

[weary bone]

Question regarding Temporal Sanctum. When she casts the 1shot mechanic, can I just D teleport twice or does it need to be timed with delays between teleport?

[upbeat delta]

I need some advice. I am lvl 94. I have one echo at 150 corruption. I can't kill Rayeh/the boss any more. One shot and I die. A lot of times in the echo itself I get killed which robs me of the reward - I am going after a rare drop shield. I know I probably need up upgrade my gear and whatnot, but I haven't seen an upgrade in a very long time either. What can I do? Do another Echo? Decrease the corruption of the echo I am running? Run dungeons and hope for upgrades?

[upbeat delta]

You teleport and wait for her to show up. Fight. Them when she uses the one shot, you teleport. Rinse/repeat!

[velvet olive]

is there a temp fix for the map opacity not saving? or a workaround?

[quick raptor]

Can runes of ascendance be used to get boss items?

[tight girder]

No

[candid elm]

Yes up to the half way point in the other masteries, you'll see a chain going down the middle of the two you didn't choose.

[candid elm]

If you're more comfortable at a lower Corruption, that's fine. You can run the Eterra echo right by the center and at the end it will give you a choice between 3 levels of Corruption reduction.

Also, it sounds like your farming Black Sun for the the Unique/Set Shield echo rewards, so then that means you're (hopefully) looking for a random drop Unique. You can also get those from Runes of Ascendance and the Circle of Fortune Prophecies.

[west smelt]

Is the game controller friendly?

[upbeat delta]

Yes. I am playing with an Xbox controller

[coral dagger]

Whats the MO for leveling a second character? Story until subclass and then cut to monoliths?

[dusty crypt]

Have they said anything about fixing the chat bug?

[west smelt]

Accidentally skipped intro cutscene was there any important pieces of info

[icy drift]

Nope

[spring plank]

whats probably the strongest spellblade build? What corruption can it scale up until?

[icy drift]

Prob an ehp focused shatter strike

Vessel of strife and stuff

You can get decently far going full glass Cannon but it requires a playstyle that not many enjoy, aka literally don't get hit by anything

[spring plank]

Hmm im not super sure what an ehp buuild entails, is it just massive amounts of ward?

[icy drift]

Pre 1.0 I got to 1300 corruption going full glass Cannon , it'll most likely be a bit less now

[icy drift]

It's not gonna be massive, most likely a few thousand or so. You'll need to get lots of armour and as many other defensive layers as you can

Spellblade is very squishy in general

I even used a shield during parts of my push since my damage was so high it was fine even if i lost half of it

[restive robin]

I left a faction and I can't figure out how to join one, I don't have the observatory unlocked yet... Any way to re-join a faction at this point?

[icy drift]

Try going to the first town

[spring plank]

Ah ic, and what is usually like, a reasonable amount of corruption that makes sense to farm?

cuz once u get into like, the thousands its mostly pointless and ur just kinda of pushing it for the sake of seeing how high u can go?

[icy drift]

You're not gonna get anywhere near thousands

At most a thousand or so I'd imagine

Maybe more with some crazy good gear

But not much

[restive robin]

Thanks Cyborgwars that did the trick

[spring plank]

ig i just meant like, what level of corruption do most people farm at?

[icy drift]

Most people? Like 200 at most

Anywhere from 100-300 basically

Which spellblade will do just fine

[spring plank]

right and is that out of like, necessity (as in they couldn't take the builds any higher?) or just that it was pointless to go further and u'll get as much out of monoliths as u need to at around 300-500 at most corruption

[icy drift]

The difference in loot between 200 and 1000 is definitely noticeable, but it's not insane. So if your build is most comfortable at 300 or 400 then that's where you wanna grind for the most loot, and you're not gonna be missing out on much tbh

[spring plank]

ah gotcha makes sense

[icy drift]

But yeah most people don't go much higher since it usually starts getting a bit more rough on normal builds and it also just takes time to get corruption

[spring plank]

Gotcha makes sense, i definitely wouldn't be pushing higher corruption on different areas on the same character, just one map per character for efficiency sake haha

Ig the main gripe im having with the game is like, I haven't found the class where I'm genuinely like, WOW this gameplay loop is so enjoyable and fun and satisfying, so the grind itself feels a little weird. Liek tis not pointless because i know i can use that grind to farm for my eventual "main", but just feels weird trying to target farm for very specific niche pieces that are only gonna make this specific build stronger

[cloud trellis]

Hey idk if this is a bug or something but i was farming heart of the mountain and i switched one of my legendary daggers half way through, dropped the other by mistake, and i couldnt pick it up because it was being hidden by my loot filter. i spammed x a bunch of times and it said in the chat that the loot filter was being disabled but it wasnt actually disabling it. I also have my filter set up to show all uniques so it shouldn't have hid it anyway. regardless, i ended up dying and losing my 2x slam dagger 😄. did i do something wrong?

[candid elm]

Also try Z or Alt+Z https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1214555602966151169

[cloud trellis]

i did i disabled the filter genuinely 20x. again my filter is not supposed to hide unique+legendary items and doesnt when i drop the same type of dagger under normal circumstances. i just want to know if its a mechanic to hide items on the ground during boss fights or if this is a bug lol

if theres a better place to ask lmk please

i also have ss showing the loot filter being disabled and of my item being hidden if it helps at all

[candid elm]

I'm not aware of items being hidden on boss fights

[worthy marsh]

can someone remind me Steam Launch option to force Directx12 ? -force-d3d12

[restive lotus]

Does cooldown reduction affect the cooldown on julra's stardial ring?

[atomic bluff]

Is there a way to get a loot filter made for the Carns bleeding smite build.? I don’t know how to make one :(.

[worthy marsh]

lastepochtools.com build planner can create lootfilter from build

[atomic bluff]

Thank you

[faint cape]

No, just your skill bar

[restive lotus]

Thank you

[surreal verge]

Alt+z enables/disables all item tooltips on the floor. That might be a cause.

[faint oar]

I have question about leveling rank. U get rank by killing monsters. U get same amount od rank by killing monsters at any level? Let say 60lvl monolith and 100 empowered monolith with 500corruption give same amount od rank?

Leveling rank of any faction. Exactly i dunnoi if we can say that 1 point of rank is 1 point of favor.

[cloud trellis]

gotcha thank you !!

[surreal verge]

Reputation is earned by spending favor.
Favor is earned by murdering mobs.
Favor earnings are tied to xp gained

[faint oar]

U get also reputation by killing monsters?

[surreal verge]

No, only favor. Spending Favor is the only method to gain reputation.

[chrome galleon]

u also get by killing

[surreal verge]

Oh it does. Both gains are still tied to xp. So higher level and corruption= faster rates.

[lone pilot]

hello ..i saw this guide for necro..and the item says +2 summon volatile , 90% increase minion dmg...when i put it in filter only level of summon volatile zombie...is "+2 summon volatile , 90% increase minion dmg" obtainable in drops only?

[surreal verge]

That 90% increased minion damage is tied to +x summon volatile.

[lone pilot]

aight ty sir

[restive lotus]

Is the void knight auto bomber any good? By that I mean can do T4 dungeons/500 ish corruption without dying or too slow of clears

[void mason]

Anyone know the command to re-center items drops after loot explosion?

Wasn't deactivating and reactivating the filter good enough for that?

[jaunty verge]

Is the game playable in China ? I can’t get connected

[silver creek]

What low level item can i get to make lightning blast sorc leveling easy?

[wary thistle]

In the stash, is there a way to search for a specific amount of legendary potential?

[surreal verge]

No

[worthy marsh]

I'm pretty sure I was able to filter out items with 4 Legendary or 3 Legendary

[fickle furnace]

when Cycle 1 is going to end?

[wary thistle]

tried this out and it works perfectly, thank you very much

[cinder hamlet]

some items in my loot filter appear pitch black with no text on drop, does anyone know a workaround?

[surreal verge]

Not using recolor or the underline options

[cinder hamlet]

that sucks. you mean emhpasize right

[surreal verge]

Ye

[cinder hamlet]

kinda defeats the purpose of loot filter -_-

[surreal verge]

You can always just ignore the visual bug, it doesn’t happen often afaik

[cinder hamlet]

im just afraid I actually miss it on dark maps. my eyes suck pretty bad as well 😛

[open loom]

Hello, does anyone know if +cold damage affects frostbite? or is it +damage over time that affects it?

[toxic echo]

%dot, %ele dot would as well

nothing flat would tho

[candid elm]

No specific date has been announced yet. The original guesstimate was 3-4 months. https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216767335512408184

[eager yoke]

As with all things there are good guides and less than good guides. Which build streamers are worth checking out and which ones should be avoided?

[oak thistle]

hey, mew player here, i have two questions.

• should i pick The Observatory as the first faction ? i guess it's better as a beginner since i don't have a lot of golds to buy in the Bazaar

• did the first monolith, i'm currently level 61. should i pick the left or right one ? is there an optimal path ?

thanks a lot

[surreal verge]

For monoliths: if you want to unlock empowered asap, go right, and always go to the higher level one

[oak thistle]

are empowered the upgraded version ?

[surreal verge]

Yes, the lv 100, endless scaling version. You can go back to normals after unlocking them

[oak thistle]

all right. thanks a lot !

[modest trout]

Are there idols to rise physical resistance?

[toxic echo]

yes

easiest way to find them, is make rule in your filter, and make sure you hit the affix under idols for phys res

[modest trout]

I am great in messing with my stats. I exchange gear and sometimes forget to check the stats screen. SUCKS!

Is it in general not possible to tank on empowered monoliths or tier 3 dungeons? Since I can not rise resis above 75.

[faint cape]

I'd say you usually try not to, especially on bosses

[open loom]

if %cold %elemental and dot damage affects frostbite
does that mean that %physical %poison and dot damage affects poison and plauge?

[toxic echo]

not physical, but %poison and % dot yes

bleed is the physical dot

dots have no relationship with the hit that inflicts them

your fire hit can inflict frostbite, if you wanted, as an example

[open loom]

oh 😦 I was soooo close to making a cool thing, thanks for the info

[final flint]

Why does some builds have way more resists than 75%?
One has 163 physical resists on items.

Never mind. It got boots that remove phys resist. 🙂

[faint cape]

Some stack resists to scale "uncapped resistance" stuff. These are most popularly necrotic and cold res right now. Some just might accidentally or incidentally get a lot of resists.

[toxic echo]

sometimes they are using an uncapped item affix to get a boost. sometimes it just happens really, depending on item implicits

[deft sun]

when is new cycle

[toxic echo]

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

[tulip valley]

Is it just me or is armor shred not selectable for amulet affixes in MG

[toxic echo]

its a bug in the search bar

[small tapir]

what happens to ur corruption progression if u join someones group

[surreal verge]

None. You do not progress.

[supple ruin]

Does anyone know an answer to this, I couldn't find anything in patch notes referring to it. Question: In group play you used to be able to teleport to your group member in echoes (just like you still can in dungeons) but now you cannot without exiting the echo first and then teleporting to them. Was this a design change or a bug that needs reported?

[surreal verge]

A bug.

[native root]

hey guys, is it possible to only extract a suffix from an item or do I have to use rune of removal and hope for it to hit the suffix I want

[surreal verge]

Rune of removal is your best bet.

is there like a clan/guild in this game?

[frigid stratus]

anyone willing to let me leech till lev 90 im lev 52 ign Evopol

[final flint]

I got a problem with my lootfilter.

• I want to highlight exalted with 50 different affixes on them.
• Most of them are highlighted, but not those with 'Bow Damage', 'Bow Attack Speed' and 'Bow Physical Damage'.
• The highlight rule is before the 'Show All Exalted' rule.
• The bows on the ground are shown as regular Exalted items.

[surreal verge]

No

[misty pier]

Does anyone know if the tiger spirit passive for primalists works on your minions if you have 5 points in Reincarnation?

[candid elm]

The way Primal Shifter is worded, example "Increased Armor with Buff", and the way that Tiger Spirit is also worded, example "Increased Crit Chance with Buff", makes me think that yes, Reincarnation does apply both.

Sounds like Primal Shifter and Tiger Spirit both improve the Shapeshifter buff. And Reincarnation applies the Shapeshifter buff to the minions.

[misty pier]

You are right, i didn't see the "with buff" part. sweet

[pastel prairie]

What tiers of affixes are for the affixes you want highlight?

[final flint]

At first I didnt require any tiers in the rule

If i place the rule second from the top it works, but I dont understand why any of the rules would cancel the highlight rule.

[pastel prairie]

Are you using the recolor option to highlight the affixes you want ?

[final flint]

Yes and it works on close to all affixes, but not the 3 mentioned.
Its only on bows afaik.

[pastel prairie]

Hmm. That’s strange, only thing I can think of is there’s a tier requirement on the affixes in order for them to be highlighted, but will show up because of the 2nd rule of “show all exalted” - to clarify you’re saying the 3 affixes meet the affix requirements for the rule but are not being highlighted? Sometimes I’ve found doing a simple reboot of LE helps too, but I’m sure you’ve probably already tried that

[final flint]

Thanks. 🙂
I think its the rule 'Show wanted bows' that messes with my highlight rule, but I just dont understand why.

[pastel prairie]

Maybe try removing the “bows” rule. The affixes for bows will only show up on bows and quivers anyways

[turbid heron]

Would anyone be willing to look at my gear and have some tips about how to proceed, like what to target farm next? I feel a bit weak in corrupted monos, and would like to be more tanky (hardcore). Appreciate it!

[pastel prairie]

Sure thing

[candid elm]

You can use the LE Tools Build Planner to import your character and then share a link - buttons on the left side. You can post the link here or in the class channel for your character class, those are a bit farther down the channel list.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/
I personally don't play hardcore, but maybe some others will have HC recommendations for you

[latent parrot]

max out all your resistances, max out your crit avoidance/ reduced crit bonus. get as high of armor as you can. on HP (4k-5kHP, 10-15keHP) builds, max out your Endurance and have a healthy amount of Threshold, make sure your source of life leech/ leech rate can top you up quickly enough. on Ward builds, make sure to have 3 pieces of HP > Ward on low life, have as much Ward gen as possible and subsequently Ward Retention. Decay Threshold isn't as valuable as a good consistent source of Ward gen.

Unless you are running one of the more overtuned ward generation (e.g. HH) builds, you're not going to be facetanking much, so you will need to learn mechanics and dodge things. This is true even for higher corruption levels for the overtuned ward gen builds. Things that can kill you quickly are usually large, slow telegraphs as well as Damage Over Time attacks. Have a look at something like https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/bestiary to see how much damage mobs and bosses are actually doing (increased by your own corruption scaling)

[turbid heron]

Thanks all, I will fill in the planner and hopefully post a link tonight. Cheers..! I got almost maxed resistances and 100% crit avoidance.

[candid elm]

To add onto what roomnxii was saying about the Health -> Ward items, you also need a large Health pool for those. They give Ward based on your total missing Health. If you don't stack Health, it's not going to give you as much

[candid elm]

You don't need to fill in the planner. There's an import button on the left. It'll auto fill

[latent parrot]

you don't have to manually fill in the planner, left tab > click on Import > Online > Account Name/ Character Name
Same for https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/, Save/Load > Import > Account Name > select character from list

[turbid heron]

Ohh!

[candid elm]

The share link is also over on the left side

[long yoke]

When target farming a specific unique, should I do it on non-empowered monolith or empowered monolith?

[latent parrot]

always in empowered monos. more corruption > higher chance of LP
unless you're starting out with your build and hunting for enablers and doing it in HC, if your build can't currently handle it then do some non-corruption farming. but usually if your build isn't messy and underpowered, it shouldnt be an issue

[long yoke]

Because i'm dying on empowered monolith at level 86 and i don't have the equipment I need

[turbid heron]

[green flower]

Anyone have a rough idea of the odds of getting any unique ring with 4lp? ie, cumulative odds that a unique ring you pick up will have 4lp, regardless of what the ring is?

[latent parrot]

the easiest way to boost your build's survivabilty is by putting on a pair of gloves with HP > Ward. This enables the ward gen from Healing Hands to start working all the time, instead of only when you have taken damage. the biggest issue i see here is that you are fanning out your choices and aren't completely devoting to one thing; you have 60% endurance, but no threshold to make use of it. You don't have enough HP to support the endurance route as well. You have Healing Hands with the Ward node, but don't have the Healing Effectiveness to really boost the ward gen.

[latent parrot]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lKf0d_ToX0
frozen sentinel does a lot of science and goes into some LP calculation here. To note that all Uniques have their own Effective Legendary Potential Level. Some uniques are easier to roll LP, some are much harder, so the odds are not equal.

[open mist]

whats gold limit on char ?

[pastel prairie]

If I had to guess there’s a 1 in 2million chance of a unique ring dropping with 4 LP

[green flower]

Thanks.

[coral dagger]

If a skill says that hitting a boss casts something "at a nearby enemy" such as the scorched reach node in the warlock passives, does that include the boss? Or is it strictly a mutli target use ability?

I'm trying to farm a wheel of torment and a devotion. So far, only my paladin has cleared all monoliths, but I'm still dying at empowered stolen lance, should I try going for the other optional dungeons first?

[turbid heron]

I am out now, but I will check it out later! Thanks so much

[random finch]

quick question just to confirm. the Omnis Amulet only drops from the shade of orbosyss at 200 or higher corruption right

[latent parrot]

yes. good luck. to increase chances more, make sure the node is as far as possible from center. higher corruption = higher drop chance as well.

[random finch]

i have all of my timelines at 200 or above (one at over 400) so i just need to push as far away from the center as possible?

[latent parrot]

the further the better

[candid elm]

Yes #❔┃ask-the-community message

[rapid harness]

can someone explain why, when i quit the game after a failed majasa fight, i then have to fight my way through the lower temple and then fight apophosis' minions again???

[candid elm]

There's unfortunately not a waypoint directly to the Chamber of Vessels area that Majasa is in. If you're having trouble with that boss, you can just come back to it later.

If you'd like to go into Monoliths now, you can by going to End of Time and walking to the right.

You can also skip the boss entirely. You'll get +1 All Attributes from defeating her, which is pretty minor.

[cunning rose]

ever since the update came i can no longer play it and its really annoying i just bought and it keeps saying steam connection required and i been stuck on here sicne there last update and i can no longer play

all it keeps saying when i try to sign in is steam connection required ensure that steam is open and restart last epoch i have done that so many times and nothing works

[dusky fractal]

Is it possible to boost the exclusive echo rewards that drops only from unique or set ring with like prophecies?

[rapid harness]

Ok thank you, don't suppose you know of any way to stop majasa from healing in the 2nd phase?

[toxic echo]

have you completely killed steam from task manager and tried again? sometimes steam needs the forced restart, not LE

[cunning rose]

i did that yesterday and nothing happen

[toxic echo]

there is no way. its built in the fight. unless you burst her down faster than she can heal

[toxic echo]

outside of that, which is the normal easy fix, hit up support

!support

[ripe brook]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[terse galleon]

From what i've noticed, you can damage her quite significantly during her healing phase and she won't get to the same HP otherwise

[surreal verge]

No

[candid elm]

It's just a multi phase fight. It's normal that the boss heals a couple times

[dusky fractal]

What about the drops from a boss then, can that be increased with prophecies?
Like Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros that only drops from a timeline boss.

[open loom]

hey so has anyone tested if parrotkin from falconry skill (chance to gain a charge when "directly" casting acid flask) works with the acid flasks thrown from sprinkler traps?

[surreal verge]

No.

[candid elm]

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. For example, 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. Including Rune of Ascendance and CoF Prophecies for it as well.

The boss only drops like the Twisted heart are only from that boss and you can't use Rune of ascendance or prophecy for them

[candid elm]

Which item are you looking for specifically?

[dusky fractal]

Twisted heard with LP, Ocearean with LP.
So was just hoping prophecies could help

[surreal verge]

Nope, nothing but praying to RNG helps.

[candid elm]

Twisted heart is boss only.

Ocearean is a random world drop. You can use Rune of ascendance and prophecies for additional drop chances at that item.

[dusky fractal]

okay so prophecies would help me, cool.
THanks

[frosty mason]

Anyone know if there going to give skills more nodes than jsut frost and poision/bleed? pretty sad to see that they seem to only care about frost and refuse to do any other elements

[candid elm]

Yes, if you took Prophecies for a random unique ring, that could give you additional job chances. Note that ring is rare, so getting one with LP can be difficult

[dusky fractal]

Okay great, that confirms my thought of how it worked out.

[surreal verge]

Errr what?

[frosty mason]

just been building a lot of builds cause why not and came to understand there are like no nodes for anything other than frost for most skills and if its not frost its for bleed/poison

[surreal verge]

What?
It's because most builds do not have bleed or poison by default.
For cold, can't relate, acolyte, sentinel, and rogue has jack all for cold. (They either don't have any at all, or cannot be used to any effectiveness.)

[frosty mason]

I found that all of those classes had a decent amount of cold nodes thats the issue, like most of the skills dont need it or actually need it be a different element

[forest hazel]

acolyte has cold? it's all necro, fire, poison, and physical from what I can tell

[surreal verge]

Acolyte's cold node that isn't Chaos Bolt's might as well don't exist, Sentinel has none, Rogue's also might as well not exist.

[frosty mason]

didnt know rouge since I refuse to touch a class thats so busted it ruins the game and sentinel has some in voidnight if i rember right and they all suck

[surreal verge]

VOid knight has none. It's void or fire.
Sentinel has ZERO cold converts.

[upper sage]

how unlock guild merchant?

[candid elm]

You can play with this simulator to get a general idea of the rareness of the items that aren't restricted drops
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[frosty mason]

whatever dude not trying to fight whatever crawled up your ass

[candid elm]

On your first character, you need to get to chapter 9, Maj'Elka, and you'll then encounter the item faction people and can select to join the merchants Guild

On additional characters in that same game mode, you'll be able to select an item faction in the very first town

[surreal verge]

Because I'm trying to tell you that whatever you said is false. Only classes with access to cold skills in the first place have cold converts that do anything useful.

[forest hazel]

anyway to turn off tutorial popups on new characters?

[surreal verge]

No

[whole cargo]

what is the most important roll on an oceareon? Why is that ring used?

[torpid scaffold]

Does chance to Shred Armour on Hit not exist anymore?

I can't filter for that affix anywhere

[surreal verge]

THe most important affix isn't rollable.
It's "More damage per stack of shock"

[candid elm]

It does, the bazaar has a bug and it's not searchable there

[torpid scaffold]

of course it does 🙄

[hard valley]

Hi, one question to the Runemasterbuild: if i have the skill slected "Runic Enery" (+2% Damage per Stack of Runic Energy to your Invocations), does this also apllies to the "Reowyns Frostguard"-Shield Invocation (Ice-Fire-Ice)

[surreal verge]

Frostguard does not do damage, so it doesn't do anything even if it gained the stat.
Oh, it has an end burst, then it only affects that.

[radiant magnet]

wait is there no body armor with weavers will?

[toxic echo]

nope

when it shows the armour icon on the prophecy...it just says "armour" which is any armour

[radiant magnet]

known bug?

[molten canyon]

hiyas, so i made a new alt a little while ago today, i know there is a way to skip a good chunk of the campaign, but i am a little forgetful as to the particulars on the method, can anyone remind or enlighten me please?

[toxic echo]

its not a bug. its just a really poor icon choice

[radiant magnet]

No I meant that I just bought a prophecy that says "Reward: Unique body armor (16 weavers will)"

[candid elm]

You don't need to complete the campaign and you can do it however you want.
• Example one: stay in campaign until you get the Lance in Act 7, you'll have full passive and idol unlocks, be in the 40s, and can go into Monoliths.
• Example two: go into Monoliths as soon as possible, for example in your 20s, then go back to pick up the passive and idol unlocks later.
• Example three: some combination of those and throw in some dungeon skips.

[molten canyon]

thank you yeah i found some good guides with a Google Search too

[candid elm]

Does it say Unique armor? There's multiple Weaver's Will armor items:
• Swaddling of the Erased, Gloves
• Communion of the Erased, Belt
• Advent of the Erased, Boots

[radiant magnet]

Ah now I get what you meant, the icon for the entire armor category has the icon of body armor. My bad

[onyx rover]

Does 'more global damage' on me, affect minions? like minion damage

[heavy sandal]

There are no Weaver Helm or Body Armour uniques. The prophecy reward is "Unique Armor (X Weaver's Will)" (where X is 8 or 16) and can reward the Weaver belt, gloves, boots, or shield. Unfortunately, there is a bug with how the rewards are selected. The game first rolls an armour item type and can select any of helmet, body armour, belt, gloves, boots, or shield, then converts the item to the appropriate reward. If the game rolls a belt, gloves, boots, or shield, the game operates as it should. If the game rolls helmet or body armour, there is no conversion to a unique weaver's will helmet or body armour since they don't exist. So the game simply drops the item that failed to convert. The item is typically a rare item but can upgrade to an exalted item through Circle of Fortune rank benefits. Here are some examples of failed reward conversions from the Weaver prophecies - https://imgur.com/a/jm66Fot

[candid elm]

No worries. They've been updating some of the icons so it's clearer, but there's still some confusion. They used to use a Ring icon for any random unique item. Recently changed that to a Star icon Edit: in monoliths

[torpid scaffold]

Is there a tangible difference between DoT affix and Elemental DoT affix? Is one better than the other? Or do they just exist to double up on DoT?

[candid elm]

Well if your DoT isn't Fire, Cold, or Lightning, then Elemental DoT isn't going to help.

generic DoT is available on more item types https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AAwdgTEA

Elemental DoT can have higher values, but it's available on less item types https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AIwBhQ

[torpid scaffold]

Thanks!

[heavy sandal]

Icon changes were for monolith echo rewards only. Prophecy icons remain unchanged. "Unique (1LP)" rewards still has a ring icon. https://imgur.com/a/fWHAeEg

[candid elm]

Yes, that's why I said "updating some of the icons so it's clearer, but there's still some confusion"

[heavy sandal]

but you also said "They used to use a Ring icon for any random unique item. Recently changed that to a Star icon." which is only true in the case of monoliths. For prophecies, which is what the discussion was about, there have been no changes.

[weary bone]

Question: Does "increased totem cast speed" also include the time to place the totem? (I assume no)

[candid elm]

Fine, edited it to say "in monoliths"

[thick storm]

Hi help please. Building a blast knife detonating arrow. The build says stack melee atk spd for dps. But is that better than throwing atk speed for placing the traps quicker?

[gilded frigate]

What does it actually mean if an armor piece has +1 (skill)?

[fluid arrow]

Exactly what it sounds like, you get 1 extra point in that skill. When the skill reaches max level, you will have 21 skill points.

[solemn anchor]

It means you get skill tree woes whenever you forge that piece of gear or swap it out quickly with another to compare the results 😆

[random finch]

just find a piece with a t7 + to skill and slam it in a good legendary. profit. i have a +4 to profane veil on my relic lmao

[gilded frigate]

Aah okay, makes sense now, ty!

[solemn anchor]

Speaking of, I'm still looking for my +4 to Frost Claw as the Bazaar prices are mental!

[random finch]

CoF all day fam

[solemn anchor]

I like CoF but I struggle to get the uniques I want quickly compared to MG. Can't have it both ways I suppose!

[graceful bison]

may i know, my paladin level 74 now, how to make ward build ? its seem my skill not trigger ward...

[primal violet]

Tried to ask in mages, but they're distracted by other shenanigans. Does Rune Word Cataclysm's crit chance count as base crit chance? Twin swords in other nodes always seem to mean base and the triple dagger or shadowcascade style seems to be multiplier, but 12% per point seemed a bit outrageously high for base crit chance, lol.

[karmic sphinx]

when do you all think will be the next cycle?

[peak orbit]

anybody know what’s up with boardman gaming? used to be so active and always on my YT timeline and he kinda disappeared?

[fluid arrow]

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

[candid elm]

It reads "Increased Critical Chance: 12% per point". Increased is % increase. So 5 points in that would give you a 60% increase. For example if you have a base of 5% Crit Chance, getting 60% Increased Crit Chance would give you 5 * (1 + 0.6) = 8% Crit Chance.

Flat crit chance would be listed as "+% Critical Strike Chance" without the word increase. If you have a 5% Crit Chance, and get +5% Critical Strike Chance, then you'd have 5 + 5 = 10% Crit.

The % Increased would get added on at the end to the flat increase. Going with the previous example of 5% base Crit and +5% flat Crit, getting 60% increase would give you (5 + 5) * (1 + 0.6) = 16% Crit Chance.

[long yoke]

I spent close to 5 hours trying to farm Wheel of Torment lol and got the other two-handed abyssal staff unique instead. Sigh. I'm probably not increasing corruption yet seeing as how i'm still not regularly clearing nodes without dying.

[primal violet]

Thanks. Had to ask because it may be lacking the +, but the actual icon used for it, the twin swords, is exclusive to only flat increases while the 3 daggers is exclusive to the normal % crit. It's even this way for every node other than it on the skill tree. Like Crackling Precision and Knowledge of Destruction use the 3 daggers and Never Late uses the twin swords with a +. Hard to tell if it's a bad icon or a missing +, lol.

[candid elm]

I don't know about the Icons. Looking at some other classes, Falconer passive Handler gives flat Crit and uses the two dagger icon. Falconer passive Needle Like Precision passive gives Increased Crit and also uses the two dagger icon.

[primal violet]

Yeah. Rogue and acolyte seem to only use the twin swords. Kinda weird how that changes when it goes to Mage where triple dagger is almost exclusively % and twin is flat. Weird.

[faint cape]

Icons generally don't mean anything mechanically, you just gotta go with the text description

[azure crow]

Hi, good day, I have a question please. If I have an exalted item and I upgraded it, can I still extract the exalted suffix afterwards?

[primal violet]

I can see that now. It's just weird how mages and sentinels have it separated into tri for % and twin for flat, then it's just all twin for the other three classes. Weird inconsistencies.

[solemn anchor]

You can't upgrade Exalted affixes (tier 6 & 7) they are drops only but if you upgrade the other affixes you can still shatter the item and potentially get the shards, yes.

[azure crow]

Thank you, yeah, this is what I mean by upgrade, to upgrade the other affix.

[solemn anchor]

P.S. The shards won't be "exalted", you'll just get a number of shards from that affix, so you can't transfer the exalted status to another item if that's what you're asking 🙂

[azure crow]

Oh, I see, so the only way to have exalted is through drops and then upgrading that item itself.

[wary thistle]

I have a prophecy to kill God Hunter Argentus; it can be fulfilled 8 times and rewards a unique body armor with Weaver's Will 16. I've done this twice, and it says 2/8, but neither time have I actually dropped a unique armor. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Loot filter is not hiding anything, and there is no corruption condition.

Not in unempowered monoliths unless you care about the boss-unique drops. In empowered monoliths, there's no reason to do the two quest echoes before the boss echo, and each boss echo grants a bonus to corruption gained when killing the Shade

[long yoke]

Doesn't this mean you have to kill Argentus 8 times? You've done it twice so it's 2/8. When you finish all 8, then you'll get the item as a drop

[wary thistle]

Oh.. lol. I thought fulfilled meant you could do the prophecy that many times. Otherwise wouldn't it just be kill Argentus x8? edit: looked it up and it seems that I'm right, so it doesn't explain why the reward is missing

@lofty elm Not in empowered monoliths

[native sail]

They cap at +18 to my knowledge
(You can get more via the Gaze of Orobyss system but I'm not sure if that's available in unempowered monoliths)

[wary thistle]

I would just do the first Shade that gives +4. I spent time when I first started playing trying to find Shades that went past +5 and it would take quite a while if it happened at all

[random finch]

omnis is a lie. doesnt exist

[random finch]

does item rarity in monoliths impact potential rewards from prophecies?

[pure pike]

real question circle or bazaar just got the option to pick

[solemn anchor]

My experience, CoF will shower you in items but it is probably harder to get specific uniques. MG is easy to get uniques but certain ones with LP or certain exalted items cost a stupid amount of gold.

[steep locust]

I have two characters, one with CoF and one with MG. I want to move the CoF one over to MG and wanted to know if my current MG favour is unaffected (i.e. I am at level 8 for MG with the one character, and 104k favour, and want to make sure the other one migrating will be able to use that). I know any CoF items they were using will not work, and if they change back to CoF then that favour (but not the level) will be lost. Thank you.

[spring plank]

Whats the max level of class skills you can get from non-exalted armors? can u upgrade to T5 for skill level up?

[naive sable]

When this SS end, sirs ?

[solemn anchor]

I'm not 100% on this but I think tier 5 is max +2

[spring plank]

gotcha, and can you upgrade from level 1 all the way to level 5?

[solemn anchor]

Yes, if you have the shards

[steep locust]

Anyone know if my MG favour (with one character) will be unaffected and usable (by my migrating CoF character)?

I have one MG and one CoF...want the CoF to move to MG as well (currenly have 104k MG favour)...will migrated one be able to use that and at the same level?

[spring plank]

ok great, ty 🙂

[fluid arrow]

Unfortunately, this is a bug. The weaver's will armor prophecy rolls for a type from all available armor (non-accessory) types, including helmet and body armor, however, there is no weaver's will helms or body armor, so it is not possible to create that item type. An item will still drop when this prophecy completes, but it will probably be a rare, and hidden by your loot filter. It is possible it may drop as exalted, or be upgrade to exalted by the CoF perk, but ya, chances are the drop was hidden by your loot filter, but it cannot be WW, because that item does not exist. I would feel free to bug this in game while you still have the prophecy active.

[pure pike]

yeah i'll stick with circle. I personally dont like that the bazzar starts you off with less than 150 favor which seems to be the minimum to even sell a common. can't even buy a common to see what it would do to the bazzar ranking

[rain cypress]

Is it possible to check crit chance per skill?

[patent vale]

Are there any solid build recommendations that actually feel tanky and tough? Tired of hitting 100+ monos and getting folded like an omelet.

Too many character feel good for a while, but then just... stop feeling good upon being really tested.

[rain cypress]

Paladin

[patent vale]

Would you care to elaborate a bit? skills, type of paladin, etc.? I mean, if not, then... you're not actually helping me, no offense.

[rain cypress]

Im just judging by what ive seen from looking around at builds and saw a bunch of people playing paladin just standing still.

Pretty sure they used smite as main damage but I have no idea how the build was specced exactly.

[chilly totem]

hello, i noticed several youtube streamer has big cursor, how to change it? cause i cant change my cursor T.T

[pearl sphinx]

I guess many just use Yolo Mouse - you can download that for free somewhere 🙂

[pure pike]

i've unlocked monolith is now the time i can start playing with people?

[restive lotus]

Is there an estimated date for release of 1.1?

[pure pike]

we just got 1.0 so most likely not.

[restive lotus]

Thank you

[surreal verge]

You could always play with people as soon as you made a char.

[pure pike]

that's actually very hard to do when all i see are people recruiting for end game stuff when i tab into discord and i have been for the 43.2 hours ive been playing for the past 3 days. I just assume because people are either asking to be helped leveled up or are doing end game stuff there is no inbetween, i also don't know people who play this game. So i felt it would be better to just play the game and come back after i've unlocked the time monoliths or as i called them before i knew what they were called endgame.

[surreal verge]

Well, have you unlocked empowered monoliths yet?

[pure pike]

i have the prerequistes to start getting there which is the non empowered so shush i will worry about that when the time comes i jsut wanna play with people good night see you tmrw

If you feel like it or prefer that one go for it

[whole cargo]

is reduced dmg from crits additive or multiplicative? As in, does it cap at 100?

[tight girder]

Additive, sum of 100 is cap yes, you can't take less than 100% damage from a crit (i.e. make it equivalent to a normal hit). It's "reduced bonus damage taken"

[merry depot]

guys i have a build i wanna ask something about, some guy has 40k warding but his hp goes down to 100? desnt DoT penetrate ward and does direct dmg to hp? wont he get one shot from DoT?

[tight girder]

No, no damage type penetrates ward

[merry depot]

there was a place where when i was moving on a platform, i was losing 250 hp per second and looked like it was necrotic

[surreal verge]

That does % current health as damage

[tight girder]

There are some rare effects in the game, that deal damage based on current % health, that can't actually kill you. That damage can bypass ward

In general though, ward protects from any damage types

[merry depot]

so as long as i have ward i dont die?

[tight girder]

Yep

How are builds hitting 2-3k CR? Are there builds that can tank shades at that lvl or able to kill them in a few seconds?

Are sources of "enemies take x% [increased damage]" added up with your own sources of increased damage or does it modify the actual amount of damage enemies take after mitigation?

[tight girder]

Works like a more multiplier

[wary thistle]

awesome thanks

[latent parrot]

yes, the experimental affix. % Current health lost per second + % missing heath gained as ward per second

[hollow oriole]

Is there a way to make salt the wound worm with ghostflame?

[elder zodiac]

2-3k Corruption shade:
Det arrow MM and Wraithlord can both take shade down fairly quick, also seen a bleed falconer build nuke it down very fast.

Runemaster can permafreeze / stunlock depending on build.

HH pally get's an absurd amount of Ward and can facetank almost anything

Prob more capable builds too😅

[toxic echo]

could do a physical ghostflame.

and marrow shards. but outside of that, dont really think so

[turbid heron]

Can I dm you about the build?

[modern crystal]

did you get past this quest?

I accidentally killed the injured dragon when hh dashing

[wind kraken]

I have about 100hrs of CoF right now.
I have a 94 runemaster and 87 falconer.

I don't find target farming for gear through prophecies all that useful, so I would like to give MG a try.

But when looking at lootfilters on lastepochtools I find it hard to know which one to choose for the purpose of acquiring good gear across all classes and builds to then sell via MG. In fact as a new player the whole lootfilter system is so daunting.

Does anyone know of a specific lootfilter for this purpose that you can recommend?

Here is my character so far https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BgOEL9RB

It's slightly not up to date but its pretty much the same gear.
Progressing through onwards via corruption seems like an uphill battle.

I would love some input 🙂

blast and leave

[tulip moth]

thank you 😄

[toxic echo]

@thick storm the det arrow skill is locked behind picking the marksman skill mastery. that skill isnt point locked, you either pick it when you choose your mastery or you dont get it.

it sounds like you picked the wrong mastery to get that skill

[simple lava]

i second blasting

[tulip moth]

awesome just started oding echos and figured that might be the better way lol

[wary thistle]

Game guide says ".. enemies gain 1% resistance per area level, up to a maximum of 75%."; are monsters overcapped by 25% in the level 100 areas or do they stop gaining resistance at level 75?

[weary hull]

the stability limit is there to stop you from spending forever on one echo. it's not a quota. You can always get more stability limit by starting a new echo, so the only thing that matters is how quickly you clear. You'll get the same bonus stability for 2 echoes as for 1 echo if it takes you the same time to do both.

[toxic echo]

up to a maximum of 75%

they stop at 75

[wary thistle]

also, most search results come up with people saying all enemies have 0 armor and resistances by default, even in max level zones. Obviously the game guide states pretty clearly that enemies gain resistances, but I don't see anything about armor. Do they still have 0 at max level by default or did that also change?

[simple lava]

they defintely do otherwise armour shred would be useless

[toxic echo]

@simple lava mobs have 0 armour. but you can get negative armour, so it still has value

just like resistance...you can get enough pen to make it go negative

[simple lava]

yea makes sense i know you could do it res

[wary thistle]

more specifically armor shred subtracts -100 flat armor by default, and you can see the formula for armor in the game guide. negative armor is pretty good

[drowsy ledge]

Hey ya'll - What is the best LE Graphics tweak to reduce the horrible Frame Rate drop when using Detonating Arrow build? ( I'm running a 2070 Super )

[onyx rover]

I've killed a shade of orobyss 4 times now with / without cull, and i'm not getting completion, he just disappears and drops loot as if he is a random mob.
doesn't give completion, doesn't consume gaze

has this happened to anyone else?
Edit: Restarting the game fixed it..

[merry depot]

can u get strands of souls from rune of ascendance?

[toxic echo]

no boss drop from rune

[merry depot]

how much can i sell jungle queen chaps lp1 for?

anyone else having bad lag problems today?

[fiery rapids]

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

What class should I use this weapon on?

[calm trellis]

I've found disabling enemy flash on hit and damage numbers helps, doesn't completely fix though

[brazen kernel]

Does anyone have a clue roughly when the next season/cycle will launch?

[toxic echo]

5-9 weeks

[brazen kernel]

Cheers

[tropic dock]

Hi, am I the only one who crashes the game every 20 min? Playing like this is horrible.

[safe lagoon]

Was it fine before or you always experienced crashes in LE?
Any error message?
Can you access crash log files?

[fair phoenix]

Could I get any thoughts on my character? https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/d13373r/character/CaptainData

[safe lagoon]

I'd try first verifying game files integrity through steam, then check if you have latest graphic drivers from your manufacturers.
Also can try lowering in game graphic options see if it helps.
Other than that it could be hardware issues on you side, psu, cpu, ram...
Good luck

[proud trout]

anyone else having problems setting skill keys? it seems buggy, like not registering the one i input

[safe lagoon]

Are you using a controller?
If so do you have a pc mouse to try if you get same result?

[proud trout]

playing on pc, sometimes i have to close and reopen the client for it to register,

[safe lagoon]

Sometimes there is lag issues while trying to input passives or skills point in the end of time zone is it your case? Or it happens in any zone.
I usually teleport anywhere else to craft and input points

[proud trout]

sorry i meant the "Change Input Keys" under gameplay in settings !

[safe lagoon]

Oh
I thought they patched that issue not long ago.

[rapid harness]

Hi, how come after forging something a couple of times I now have to be a minimum level to keep forging it?

[upbeat cloud]

What's a really fun build to pilot? Already did ballista falconer and healing hands pally. Preferably nothing toooo complicated

[surreal verge]

AN item's requirement level is tied to affix tiers, so if your affix total tiers get too high... (The lock out is to prevent you from crafting something you can't wear)

[safe lagoon]

Because the higher number of tier your items gets the higher the characters level is required.
So by upgrading it, the level needed gets higher

[rapid harness]

Ah cool, thanks

[proud trout]

I see, maybe its my client. Thanks for your time!

[safe lagoon]

Yeah sorry I could not help you more, I'm using a controller for gameplay and mouse for crafting and inventory so I haven't played much with keybinds options

[ionic void]

is it possible to filter out rare items but instead keep the rare named items dropped from ruin prison mages?

[surreal verge]

Filter via experimental affix?

[remote lake]

When i create new character and i can choose CoF and MG in the beginning, is it work immediately or I must get to act 9 or endgame?

[drowsy ledge]

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a try when i login next 🙂

[modest trout]

What is your guys best hint for doing empowered monoliths with a sentinel?

[desert tree]

Use Healing Hand

[desert tree]

1st character need to reach them in act 9
Alts can choose in the first town and equip Factions marked gear. But in order to use the Factions Mechanics you still need to be in Majelka (someone can give you the way point btw)

[low quest]

anyone good at doing loot filters, looking for a super strict filter for this build https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/swipe-werebear-druid-guide#gear--header plz (edited)

[candid elm]

Maxroll has filters for their guides at the end. You can just copy that and then edit it. https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/swipe-werebear-druid-guide#loot-filter-header. The build scaling section gives you info on what you're looking for https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/swipe-werebear-druid-guide#build-scaling-header

[low quest]

looking for even stricter version with them stats on the equipment only

[surreal verge]

I think at that point, you make your own by adjusting what they gave you as a base.

[low quest]

ok ill try ty anyhow

[vague cloak]

Probably not many who use reshade here but i can only hope. No matter what i do the game crashes when i enter with a toon. Tried clean install and latest reshade with no addon. Anyone had similar issue? Worked wonders for over a year but suddenly no more

[candid elm]

I hadn't heard about it being disallowed or something

As long as it's not reacting to or affecting anything in game, you're fine. Strict visual style changes are generally ok. We haven't given a full green light to reshade but many do use it responsibly.
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[vague cloak]

Yeah i dont use the addon version because it could get me in trouble i just want to alter the colors, lighting and sharpness a bit

hmmm either uninstalling msi afterburner or not use the adaptive sharpening shader was the key to make it work 😄

[candid elm]

Hey great that you fixed it!

[silent surge]

Is there any up to date table with xp needed for each level? I am now level 96 and it took forever to get to 96 from 95. Above 90 each level feels like needs at least 10x more xp than the previous and this way the grind is becoming very boring. 😦

[modern patio]

guys what is frailty?

[manic abyss]

Is there a way to search stash for only usable items?

[whole cargo]

can you sell the legendary item made from an exalted and unique bought from the bazaar?

[candid elm]

Yeah here https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/xp

[candid elm]

TL;DR, it makes the enemy do less damage to you.

More details, It's a negative ailment, debuff, that makes the enemy do 6% less damage. Stacks up to 3 times . "Less" is a multiplicative reduction.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/frailty

[solemn anchor]

What do the different segments on the ward gauge mean?

[fallow ruin]

So I cant find the answer anywhere. When do you get Grand Blessings from the Monos?

[cosmic mountain]

empowered monoliths always grant the Grand version of their associated blessings.

[fallow ruin]

what constitues as Empowered?

[cosmic mountain]

you just click the Empowered option when you enter the monolith. you unlock this option after completing the main quest boss of Spirits of Fire, Age of Winter, and The Last Ruin and then enter the central node in the island that is between those 3.

[fallow ruin]

Ohh yep there it is I havent done all of those I have just building Corruption on a couple

[cosmic mountain]

building corruption in non-empowered is a waste of time, you instantly jump to 100 corruption as the baseline when you enter Empowered mode

[fallow ruin]

Ohhh I did not know that, thank you and I will work on getting those done

[inner rune]

RNG is so crazy 🙈
Does anyone else know this one guy that pretty much always "wins" in these kinda games?
I have a good friend that I love to death but holy... does he annoy me with his luck in ARPGs sometimes 😄
Farmed Arbor a few times with him yesterday and he got LP4 helmet, LP3 boots and LP2 chest in no time.
Takes him no more than 2 slams to get the stats he wants on most items... 90% its instantly perfect. Its so weird 😄

[drowsy hornet]

so the singularity unique idol - is a +20% more hit better than the crit multiplier - what builds would work with it

[toxic echo]

not really. nothing really works with it. you either build crit, cuz crit, or your build dot, and dont care about hits anyways

[cosmic mountain]

might be useful on new characters in the very early game, right after you unlock your first idol slots, before your build has built up a lot of crit chance or crit multi.

or if you're using a build that relies really strongly on some sort of melee attack proc (like proccing an ailment that deals flat damage) and you're therefore already using the Wing Guards glove for its innate attack speed, then you may as well include singularity because there's no drawback

or if you're using some sort of minion build where your minions can scale off of your hit damage. i don't know if such a minion build exists, though - maybe falconer?. but if it did, you could benefit from singularity since it only removes your ability to crit and not your minions' ability to crit.

or you could be a massive memelord and equip two singularities just to be a masochist. 🙂

[brazen warren]

does the overgrown alcove require 4 people to unlock?

[cold plaza]

The Game Guide has it

[rapid harness]

So a week or so ago I asked if you could lock yourself out of being able to do a campaign side quest as I had a weird interaction with Liath where I said "I'll think about it" and didn't get the quest, and I was told to keep playing and I'll get the quest. I've just completed the campaign and never got the side quest

[proud citrus]

I can't seem to unlock the 5th locked Tier on the Arena where you put your key in. Is there something i'm missing? I already did T1-4 no problem. Thanks

[radiant dagger]

I constantly ahve the "connexion" ui on trop of my character, is there something i can do ?

watch this video, should help a lot

[modern crystal]

prophecies wont complete in beacons????????

[south dagger]

Wether I stack up gaze of oro or I just farm echo’s till I get to a gaze fight does it make a difference in corrup potential on a fight if I have more or less gaze

[candid elm]

The void horrors in Beacons, no

[candid elm]

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.

[modern crystal]

ohhh my god I;ve been wasting my time LOL - how about other prophecies? @candid elm

[candid elm]

I don't know if the other prophecy enemies spawn like the void horrors from Beacons.

The void horrors that you get as like kill X patrolling works

[modern crystal]

ok thanks @candid elm It's been a week I cant find any void horrors in monos any tips?

[jaunty roost]

Is there any cheat to reveal the map fully when you enter an area (offline character)? Kinda getting sick of backtracking

[candid elm]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/VoidHorror

[south dagger]

I see , thanks so much for answering !

[scenic bane]

Any more builds come out since jehklors marksman started taking over some weeks ago?|
Was lookin for somethin new in the druid / spellblade department

[sinful girder]

Is Cinder Strike worth taking the node for first strike only? It seems like the mana efficiency node doesn’t really help with cost.

[lone pilot]

anyone doing blood , frost and death boss? can i hop in hehe for blessings only

[viscid spade]

How to find shred armor on hit?

[sinful girder]

It’s on some skills, shards, weapons, and idols.

[viscid spade]

I want to buy gloves with this affix. How can I do it?

[sinful girder]

Are you in the merchant guild?

[viscid spade]

yes

[sinful girder]

Then go to the bazaar and look for it. You may need high rank to get exalted ones

[viscid spade]

look at each item?

[sinful girder]

You want gloves so go to the glove vendor. The auction house doesn’t have a method to search for affixes so you will have to look at the all

[velvet agate]

If my CoF is level 10 and I change to MG, what happens, I become MG with level 1?

[sinful girder]

CoF is different, so you will have to lvl MG too

[silent surge]

Awesome, thanks for the graph/table. But holy sh*t this is crazy. It takes a total of 130 mln xp to get to 96 which took me about 70 hours. And it takes another 201 million above this to reach lvl 100, which is adding almost twice as much xp just for the las 4 levels. Considering that I gain xp faster in empowered it would still take about 20-30 hours to do the last 4 levels, and there's no way I will do it. 😦 This is so sad. 😦 I've had so much fun until about level 90. But to spend twice as much time just for the last few levels as I did for 9x levels seems way too overwhelming for me as a casual player. 😦

[verbal prairie]

anyone know around what corruption level should I be at to go against t4 julra?

[analog berry]

I would say its equivalent to 350-400 corruption, but it relies on learning the fight alot if you dont run a build with excessive amount of dps.

[verbal prairie]

thanks. I'm CoF, and I realised how much my build needs Omnis or Red Ring

[analog berry]

Red rings indeed brings alot of power for many builds, although i think omnis can be outshined by a well rolled exalted amulet for many builds.

[verbal prairie]

its more of a bunch of resistance capping is holding me back from introducing beneficiary legendaries to my build. especially since I've been rolling doodoo on my slams

and my current amulet is a bone amulet, so an omnis is a direct upgrade

[analog berry]

I agree red rings + omnis is a very nice jumpstart to cover all reses and fit all the needs of desirable stats on other gear. But even if i start out with an omnis in a planner i usually end up swapping it since i value the power of 2 amulet prefixes on almost any character.

[south storm]

Rune of Ascendance, can it gamble all items? Im looking for Shattered Chains. But dont know if i even can get one thru Rune of A.

[surreal verge]

Only non-boss drops(which is about 2/3s of the unique pool)

[surreal verge]

You know you need stability to gain blessings right?

[clever echo]

immolators belt is it only from the boss or can prophecys/runes help?

[south storm]

Been looking at diffrent builds and been playing 3 builds so far. Never seen Set items beeing used. Are they any good?

[surreal verge]

Boss only

[clever echo]

figured.......man 12 keys and 1 belt 0lp at t4. thanks

[forest hazel]

still new to the game, but at a guess uniques with legendary points give access to more stats and more customization than set pieces, so maybe that's more important than any of the set bonuses that exist?

[noble prairie]

we getting new dungeon with the new cycle m? :))))))))))))

[surreal verge]

Except a few handful (Most aren't even used for their set bonus), no, they are kinda mid.

[lone pilot]

there is no lenses for 2h staff ?

[surreal verge]

There's only one kind of staff.

[verbal prairie]

is ring of the third eye used for anything? got a 4LP

[low phoenix]

I think there might be some potential, but I dont have gear to put together ward build for this (multishot/flurry with close range nodes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gyMHK97ssM

[wet geyser]

Anyone want to carry me @ Soulfire Bastion Tier 3/4? Need Belt

[south needle]

Hey. I made a Rogue yesterday. Currently level 10. No potions have dropped for me, and when I log on, my potions are 0. Is this a bug? I checked my other characters and they all have potions 😕

[cosmic mortar]

To slam relics for LP, do I need the subtype to be the same ?

[south needle]

I am an idiot. I have no belt on...

[surreal verge]

No, just the same general item EG: 1h sword with 1h sword

[wild leaf]

Hello everybody,
Yesterday i was playing with a couple of friends and we were under the impression that the enemy’s Health isn’t upscaled at all.
Is there a balancing problem or am I missing something?

[surreal verge]

Enemy health upscales at about +75% per extra player(Varies by area level). That's the only thing that scales.
So if everyone in the party is competent it should be faster, yes.

[tough drum]

Gentlemen, will the character hang on the lunge always be like this, or will it be fixed?

[uneven stirrup]

Hey guys, why does the gate not open in front of the portal to temporal sanctum? I'm on a 3rd character trying to skip campaign and I have a key

[mossy nymph]

im having doubts about my class choice, i chose rogue but it feels kind of weak

[surreal verge]

Did you put in the key into the slot?

[surreal verge]

Rogue is currently one of the top classes, so don't worry.

[mossy nymph]

my other option was mage

[surreal verge]

Both are top classes.

[mossy nymph]

the main thing i struggle is like what do i pick in skills and such, since i have no experience with arpgs

[uneven stirrup]

The door at the Shining Cove just isnt opening lol

[surreal verge]

Oh, that's tied to a side quest at the town in the front.

[uneven stirrup]

Oh I thought that side quest is not necessary on alts as long as you have the key 😮

[surreal verge]

That door doesn't open unless you accept the side quest. You don't HAVE to clear the side quest.

[balmy umbra]

Anyone know if traveler backpack wil be available for those that did not purchase the game back then ? Like a new cosmetic or something.

[surreal verge]

As far as we know, no.

[lone pilot]

@clever echo broo

[unkempt root]

is there a date for when current season ends? i dont play much and i want to know if i have enough time if i almost start over

[modest trout]

Is there any easy way to kill Julra with a sentinel on T2 + 3?

[tight girder]

No date set, but expect something like 3-4 months from launch

[unkempt root]

oke thanks

[radiant magnet]

Do minions have endurance? and if so are the defaults like those for the players (20% base endurance, 20% of health as base endurance threshold)?

[stuck schooner]

If an item says “convert ignite chance to shock chance” but another item has the text “ignite chance on fire skill hit” does it also get converted ?

[candid elm]

Corruption also increases experience. The main difference between level 96 and level 100 is 4 extra passive points and a minor stat increase, so you're not missing out on much.

[magic oracle]

would maehlin's hubris cause caltrops to do ignite instead of bleed?

[south dagger]

what's minimum corr needed for frostbite shackles to drop convinced this item is not real at this stage

[modern patio]

guys how can I turn off co-op effect ?

[sinful mulch]

runemaster for pure spell dmg build or paladin for a lightning dmg build?

[upper sage]

can we change server with the same char ?

[surreal verge]

Yes, this isn't an MMO, chars are not tied to servers.

[honest birch]

what?

[swift star]

what is the CoF spent favor to gained reputation conversion?

[candid elm]

It's a rare drop only from the Frost Lich Formosus boss in the Blood, Frost, and Death monolith. There's not a minimum Corruption requirement. It could even drop in regular, although do keep farming in Empowered. It's just rare.

It took me a good 20+ runs to get a similar rare item Twisted Heart this Cycle. But it's random. It could take you more or less.

[pure pike]

what does this idol mean by when a skill echoes? like what is a skill echoing?

[surreal verge]

A recast of the skill that's free. Can only be triggered by Void Knights.

[pure pike]

ah so bazaar fodder thank you

[dim urchin]

will be playing with a falconeer player, any build recommendations to keep up with the pace?

[silver creek]

Fastest character in the game move speed and dash / port wise?

[hollow oriole]

Any tips on not getting one shot in t4 soul bastion. Can get to the boss with ease. Resistances maxed out. 71% damage reduction through Armour. Close range build.

[surreal verge]

I hope you have 2k health.

[silver creek]

Is Arena key something you should do? Feels kind of tidious

[candid elm]

Are you using the D key to flip immunities? It's pretty easy to get blasted otherwise. I always forget to also watch for the floor changing

[hollow oriole]

I did. But I was informed by some people some tips and one was apparently mote health. I have crazy lifesteal, but I didn't know that this boss hit that hard baseline.

[surreal verge]

Soulfire is the hardest hitting boss. He's the only glass cannon like boss

[analog wadi]

whats the lowest resistanece can be for enemies?

[slow ginkgo]

i have a ping of 17ms to google but 150+ to the EUW server of LE 😦

[surreal verge]

They have none by default.
There's no cap to negative resistance.

[analog wadi]

so for frostbite/frostclaw RM i should just stack as much pen as possible?

[silver creek]

What is an experimental affix? ..

[desert tree]

A special blue affix that appear on an item drop from an Exiled Mage

[small hearth]

Ingame guide is pretty good, you can access it by pressing "G"

[silver creek]

Gotcha!
Can experimental stuff get on LP?

[desert tree]

Yup

[silver creek]

But it would have to be exalted experimental, dropped from a mage?

[desert tree]

The experimental affix doesn't need to be exalted but the item yes
And dropped from a mage yes

[small hearth]

doesn't have to be dropped from mage

[silver creek]

Don't think i've ever gotten an experimental item, that's not from a mage? Also never seen them drop exalted

[small hearth]

You can roll experimentals into items, just like other affixes, but with a different rune (and its "random" what you get, meaning there is a method to the madness)

[silver creek]

Lets say I have some random experimental boots with 5 minions teleport with me, how do I make that into exalted? So I can get that onto an item with LP

[small hearth]

You can't make items to exalted

[silver creek]

But I can't roll non experimental items into an experimental stat, can I?

[small hearth]

You can convert non-experimental items into experimental item, I would suggest googling it or watching a video to understand the crafting system better

[toxic echo]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

[silver creek]

Gotcha, haven't gotten that rune yet apparently

[small hearth]

You need to use rune of research and there is a 45% chance to get rune of insight

[silver creek]

OH - and why would i seal an affix exactly? xD

[small hearth]

Test on a item, see what it does, and see if you come to that conclusion on your own.
I encourage testing stuff in game to see what happens and have a ponder how you can use it to your advantage (if you can)

[silver creek]

I see - it gives me another spot to add something to

Last question - if I add some stat to a level 1 lp item, will it still be a level 1 item?

[small hearth]

LP is consumed upon "smash" (merging items into it), otherwise you would be able to keep adding unlimited amount of stats.
Again, I would really encourage checking a forging guide video on youtube to understand better all mechanics

[silver creek]

Understandable - i'll try to look it up 🙂

[surreal verge]

A unique's level requirement won't change.

[frank coral]

Have the Devs said anything about when the first league is?

[surreal verge]

We ARE in the first league/season

[woeful socket]

Does the class requirement of an item get transferred if you slam in into a unique if none of the affixes are class specific?

For example, If I take a helm with Dexterity, Vitality, Armor, Dodge but it is a sentinel helmet, and slam it into a unique that has no class req, can I use the resulting helmet on any class?

[cold plaza]

Any class, yes.

[honest birch]

You can't make it exalted

[silver creek]

I added an exalted item at the end of that dugeon to an item - now my item is gone?

[small hearth]

Press D to jump timelines and loot it

[surreal verge]

Change eras.

[silver creek]

Am I missing something?

Left the area...

[small hearth]

then its gone. When you merge them, you have to swap timelines with the D skills and click the "forge" thingy and loot it

[silver creek]

Good to learn now!, at least it was not some absolute item I needed, just an item for leveling

Tried to make firestarter with 100+ extra fire damage, but I assume that any of the 4 adds could have gotten on there, even though only one was purple?

[surreal verge]

Good news! You can get it back if you do another run, at the cost of losing the new run's crafting attempt.

[small hearth]

oh, didn't know that myself, then again, never left item hanging there 😄

[marble crest]

so i noticed often when im using discord and playing l'poch at the same time my discord freezes up when i alt tab back to l'poch anyone else having these problems? its not completly consistant but happens alot

[silver creek]

You sure about that KZB? Don't wanna waste my last key lol

[small hearth]

No issues, and i use 2 screen so I see discord all the time

[marble crest]

i wonder why this could be a thing

[small hearth]

Go do some echoes, you will overflow with keys

[surreal verge]

As far as I know. Unless it changed recently

[silver creek]

Will test asap - and let you know!

You were right, but I could still do it!

I mean create a new item

But my wand got something I think wasn't on the exalted item, can that be?

[modest trout]

How do I make my Sentinel ready for empowered monoliths?

[small hearth]

No, only modifiers on exalted can be trasfered over

[surreal verge]

Oh, they changed that part then, good to know!

[small hearth]

Play game, get gear -> Forge, learn your class, have a decent build (not needed for early corruption levels), kill before getting killed

[modest trout]

How comes, sets and uniques, I find, are around lvl. 50, while my char is lvl. 90?

[small hearth]

since level means nothing other than when character can equip it, means nothing towards how good/bad the item is

[modest trout]

Can I improve that somehow?

[small hearth]

no, as i said, it has no meaning other than when you can equip it, it means NOTHING towards the power of the item

[surreal verge]

Why would you want to increase an item's equip requirement for no benefit?

[modest trout]

Because I assume, that higher equip requirement means more powerful item.

[small hearth]

well, i did say that on my first answer that it wasn't the case

[modest trout]

99,99 % of all uniques are trash. That is very sad.

[small hearth]

this would be incorrect assumption

[surreal verge]

You'll be surprised...
There's low level unqiues that are BiS in end-game builds.

[modest trout]

Ok, I tried equipping those. Meant almost always 30k LESS DPS.

[surreal verge]

Oh, imagine trusting the tooltip DPS. (Don't)

[small hearth]

there is a difference betwen having basic version of unique item and LP4 version of it

[modest trout]

LP4? there are different versions of uniques???

[small hearth]

Press "G" ingame and read about items there

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[modest trout]

What part should I read?

[pale canyon]

this game doesn't have the whole guilds/clans thing does it?

[small hearth]

If you don't know much about the game, I would say all, you can also use the search to find specific info "gear", "items" "uniques"

[modest trout]

A little bit I do know, otherwise I wouldn't have reached lvl. 90.

[surreal verge]

Nope.

[modest trout]

LP4 = Legendary with 4 legendary potentials?

lol: I am not able to beat Tear 2 of that dungeon 😉

I can't remove an assigned point of a skill. What can be the reason?

[surreal verge]

Skill node requirements?

[modest trout]

Pardon, what do you mean?

[pale canyon]

does a modifier have to say "for minions" to apply to minions, or do they automatically inherit some of my stats? example chance to stun...?

[small hearth]

you have a connected skill point (one afterwards still assigned) you can't have something i.e. at the end of the tree selected and cut the connection (requirements have to be met)

[surreal verge]

They have to say "minion"

[pale canyon]

what abotu shrines? do the shrine buffs affect minions?

[surreal verge]

Same rule. Doesn't affect minions unless it says "minion"

[pale canyon]

thanks

[foggy parrot]

Anyone ever had Alchemist's Ladle drop that has none of the modifiers besides the basic implicits?

[small hearth]

There is alchemist ladle and MAD alchemist ladle, they are 2 different items

[foggy parrot]

Oh wow, I feel stupid. I was sitting here on the LE Tools page even double checking what it was supposed to have haha, didn't notice the different art and the Mad prefix. Thanks mate

[thorny abyss]

i heard you can play this game offline, doesnt that mean people will just go offline and mod/cheat and bring their characters to online? lame

[faint cape]

You can't transfer anything between offline and online

[surreal verge]

Offline and online are seperate.

[small hearth]

No need to call something lame without fact checking, this is not the case

[thorny abyss]

freedom of speech

[small hearth]

Not everywhere is like Murica 🤪

[jaunty nova]

Daily reminder that freedom of speech does not mean freedom of consequences. If you say something silly you have to be ready to be called out for it.

[low quest]

once i have all my idol slots and passive points on my alt is it okay to start monos or should i finish the story?

[shell flame]

depends on your build/gear - many are fine hitting monos around lv30-40 prior to unlocking all their passives/idols yes

[candid elm]

Yes, you can go into Monoliths whenever you want, it's not required to finish the Campaign. The first Monolith is area level 58, but you can definitely go in there earlier if you're comfortable with it. I usually start in the 40s

The Majasa boss at the end gives +1 All Attributes, but that's fairly minor and can be skipped. If you need to get to Chapter 9 to get to the trade factions for telescope/bazaar, you can use the Temporal Sanctum dungeon exit

[low quest]

nah its my alt im lvl 45 atm, so ill go and finish campaign later, ty for info

[arctic rain]

is there a good ignite build on mage?
i always get these insane fire/dot sceptres and 3lp firestarters, i really want to make it work

[candid elm]

That's fine. I'm maybe 40 usually when I start Monoliths. Give it a try. Some people go in there even earlier

[queen elk]

What do tilesets determine in Monolith? Are they important for gameplay or is it just aesthetics?

[candid elm]

You can use the LE Tools Builds section and filter by things, here's a search for Firestarter's Torch https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/item=UAwhMA5SA

[queen elk]

Why rush that mindless nonsense? Won't you simply burn out?

[candid elm]

Compared to replaying the entire campaign for the X time? You do you.

[queen elk]

Campaign needs more challenge tbh.

[honest birch]

Campaign is pretty well balanced if you arent using a busted build

[queen elk]

And if you are SSF. Those are some BIG ifs!

[wet geyser]

Can someone please power level me?

[honest birch]

Ssf has nothing to do with the power of your skills

[candid elm]

After playing PoE for years, I appreciate being able to skip part of the campaign if I want

[queen elk]

Try saying that to the twinked Lorent! That's a H.U.G.E. mc YUGE power delta!

[honest birch]

Also if you want more challenge in the campaign use the machoist boots

[queen elk]

But I want more Lagon like challenge, not "moar numbers" aka "tedium".

[wet geyser]

5$ for whoever lets me leach in the maps LOL

[candid elm]

Ask in #👥┃lfg or in the in game looking for group channel

[main dagger]

So, new PC, fresh Windows and Steam install of everything. Trying to play online and getting LE-51. Any help or ideas? not sure what's going on here.

[spring plank]

How strong is Druid

[modern crystal]

does having 2 siphon of anguish not a good idea?

[south dagger]

Damn I’m gonna have a lot of fun farming twisted heart then 💀 shackles takin forever to drop . The fact that the amulet drop from formosus is common n I’ve only ever had 2 drop

[wide sentinel]

if they are good rolled and 3-4lp why not

[desert tree]

Pretty good, a lot of different build available

[modern crystal]

ok thanks

[sinful girder]

If I’m struggling with 100 monoliths that must mean my gear sucks? And I need to look for better?

[gleaming sluice]

is anyone having any issues with the server connection today? my buddies and i keep getting hit with lost connection to server

[dreamy forge]

Im level 45 and still learning. I have yet to craft anything, any good youtube videos on crafting basics?

[fiery pebble]

A friend and I were completing the first timeline in monolith of fate together. We both had the stability to complete the 3rd quest, and we succesfully defeated the boss. Only he got progression / completed the quest. But I still had my stability reset. So now I have to repeat the entire timeline to unlock the next timeline. Is this a bug, or is this intended?

[hard heron]

Not sure if someone can answer this but when playing the mage class in the Disintegrate tree you have the Tendril node that casts lightning blast. In the Ascendence Tree you have the Superconductor node that automatically casts lightning blast when you hit an enemy. Can anyone confirm that these 2 interact? Since The lightning blast is a "hit", will the lightning blast from the Tendril node proc the Superconductor node, essentially giving me a double lightning blast?

[timid monolith]

I played a lot with a controller today. It was really good up until the part where the tags for the items disappeared. It was as if I had toggled the loot filter off, but I did not and could not get it back on. Is there a list of known bugs? Played with a friend a few patches ago and he said this is the exact same thing that happened to him

[hardy swift]

can the any of the following (falconer, runemaster, lich, warlock) be played as a support with at least 1 healing spell??? and can the paladin be ranged?

healing spell to heal others

[surreal verge]

Lich/Warlock with AoD with missing health healing that also hurts you is the only one in that list, and playing support in LE is... not good.

[hardy swift]

what about ranged paladin, is that a possible?

[surreal verge]

You'll probably be playing holy trail javelin, but yes.

[clever echo]

divine bolts is most likely what you're after its ranged, you can heal/give ward and you're always at 50-60k yourself and the bolts auto target

[hardy swift]

ok ok you didn't need to spoil the builds but thanks a lot, it's my destiny to be support, it might be bad but who am i to question the gods

[clever echo]

spoil the build?

[hardy swift]

now i know i can only go divine bolt or javelin, super small spoiler doesn't really matter. i can move from character creation now tho, so thanks

[clever echo]

you're not just only stuck with them, if you look through the healing hands tree you can go divine bolts, chanelling beam from the sky, proc it through another melee skill, proc it through smite, or you can convert it to melee besides using it without any of those will still make you cast it in an area for spell but all of those can stil do the same support roles

paladin also has sigils of hope you can cast on allies and buff their damage. it has holy aura which can give both damage and defensive layers as a constant then those numbers double when activated

primalist has some healing but i dont know that class like i do paladin

[surreal verge]

There's still the core problem of "There's no such thing as a pure support in LE", in case that matters.

[clever echo]

maybe not pure but you can get extremely close with paladin, javelin and turn it into the buff standard, VR for damage, holy aura, sigils and healing hands and go as much "ally" nodes for what they need

[surreal verge]

You could yes, but why?
Everyone builds their own defenses and sustain already anyway, and there's no enemy damage scaling in multiplayer, just enemy health.

[clever echo]

doesnt need to be a why if thats the playstyle someone likes not everyone is gonna be a run and gun player nor do they have a full grasp at end game to know why a support isnt needed as much providing the other players know how to gear

i see it more for helping test pure dps builds since it alleviates some of the gear requirement

[surreal verge]

That still wouldn't be helpful since most people will be looking at solo, support-less setups.

[clever echo]

as long as someone has the experimental ward affix and they sit on top of me i generate them 40-60k.

ive had plenty of luck with people in need of a paladin service though. plus its great for helping level people since i can keep them alive through anything if they have the affix mentioned above so it has its places even if not where its supposed to be

[surreal verge]

That sounds like people with a lot of build issues, tbh. But ya'll can do what people need, I guess.

[clever echo]

of course thats like 60% of people lol only the hard grinders wont ask but this stems from someone who likes to be a support and they might have a group/person to play with and support

a lot of people trust maxroll LE guides but im not keen on them i dont trust them compared to other sites also thats where a lot of people run into issues

[surreal verge]

That would explain the amount of people who kept getting screwed by base empowered monoliths...

[clever echo]

theres a tuber called raxx who dont get me wrong is a great build planner but for diablo, he made a wraithlord build and made a video about it but he took the archmage node along with the node that gives +1 maximum mages. LE is new to the maxroll team so they dont have as much experience as dread or arron (and a lot more who have played this game longer)

[chilly totem]

as far as i know, lots of build there was creator from LE-tools, hence why some build there was taken down. since they moving to maxroll

[timid monolith]

I found where knows issues are. Doesn’t look like this is one of them. I’ll try and file a bug report tomorrow

[dawn stirrup]

In Soulfire Bstion, there are some mops that do not have health bar (I don know their name) and blocks almost every hit. What they are, and is there good way to slain them faster?

[bleak lantern]

is there any reward for reporting bugs via ingames "report a bug" feature? i have found and reported several and it would be cool to get like a special cape or something

[wind kraken]

How fast do you gain favor from kills in MG compared to CoF?

And if I swap from CoF to rank 1 MG playing at corruption 150 @lvl 95 will I gain xp in a reasonable time frame, or am I looking at 100hrs to get to rank 10? Seeing as I have a 95 rm and 87 falconer and I am rank 8 CoF.

[dusky fractal]

Can someone explain how the prophecies works, as they don't seem to proc.
Killed 2 exiled mages now without any of my prophecies procced.
Monolith 300+ corruption, Death of Exiled Mage.

[dusky fractal]

To answer my own question, it seems that the number next to the thing to kill, is the number of many times you need to kill it.

[whole cargo]

can you get rune of removal from prophecies?

[honest birch]

yes

[finite kelp]

Is it normal to get no dungeon uniques at all in t4 dungeons? I've gotten 0 for like the past 3 runs

[desert tree]

The only dongeon with a garanted drop is Temporal Sanctum
You might be very unlucky

[finite kelp]

Thanks, just wanted to make sure that it can happen. Coincidentally last 3 were all ones where modifier from door was boss drops 1/2 unique so I was wondering if there was a bug if other uniques drop, dungeon uniques will not drop or if it was just bad luck

[sterile stream]

I knew phys pen and phys pen for bleed is diff thing, is the physical shred ailment applied for both of them?

[surreal verge]

Just to make sure, both of those apply to bleed.
Phys pen applies to all physical damage, while physical pen for bleed only applies to bleed.
Yes, physical shred applies to all physical damage.

[ionic dome]

whats the best class to start off with bladedancer rogue or lich acotye?

also wow its really quiet here, last time i came online everyone was talking o_O

[surreal verge]

Anything you find fun, admittedly.

[ionic dome]

ah okay so its not one of those games were theres the one overpowered class gud ouo

[jaunty nova]

Build variety is more Path of Exile then Diablo, in a nutshell.

[ionic dome]

ah ok

is poe good too

[surreal verge]

There are overpowered setups right now, but any class can hit end game as long as you have 2 brain cells.

[ionic dome]

lost ark already looks unbalanced given... the lack of male choices :( I'm a female but I like having both genders with equal class choices thats why I loved Diablo

[hollow oriole]

How do I activate Ailment Overload. Not sure how it works

[surreal verge]

Use X skill while enemies have X amount of the ailment around you.

[surreal verge]

Lost Ark is a different beast since it's mainly an MMO.

[lone pilot]

bro cant dm u

[hollow oriole]

What element bypasses ward

[surreal verge]

None.

[hollow oriole]

Does any damage bypass shield?

[surreal verge]

There is. There's ground DoTs that do % current health as damage. Those can't kill.

[ionic dome]

Ah okay screw that then lol

[clever echo]

Would have liked a little more options in the customize part though

[thorny abyss]

Is this game dead or worth giving a try?

[honest birch]

yeah its totaly dead it dosnt have basicly a small town online at all times

[candid elm]

Not dead. Many people also play solo or offline. You don't need to group for any of the game content, you can do it all solo. In terms of player count, it's down from the 1.0 release and first cycle launch, but that's pretty typical of ARPGs. There's always a surge of players when there's a new content release and then after a couple weeks, many have moved onto another game. Chart https://steamdb.info/app/899770/charts/#3m

You see the same thing in other games in this genre, PoE for example https://steamdb.info/app/238960/charts/#1m
That big spike is when the new PoE League launched.

You'll see something similar when the next LE Cycle releases. A big spike then it declines. These games are pretty cyclical

[queen elk]

I have a question about Tags. Let's say that we are matching a Physical tag. Will Sabertooths activated skill(Swipe) scale with that? How about Spriggan's thorns attack?

[desert tree]

I am not sure I understand your question but I will try. Flurry Swipes from Sabertooth and Thorn Volley from Spriggan are both Physical skills used by your minions and will scale with Minion Physical Damage.

[shut zephyr]

Trying out controller gameplay and how do i make it so my character doesn't move when trying to interact with things with the A button? (Xbox style controller)

[timber glade]

what class would you recommend if i wanted to see big damage numbers?
not a lot of little ones, im a quality over quantity kinda guy

[queen elk]

Will any of them scale with just +% Phys? (I am trying to ascertain what the rules for the edge cases are ; common sense is common sense, but it pays off to know what's what)

[surreal verge]

None. They all need "minion" to get the stat, unless an effect specifically says so, like the falcon from falconer.

[queen elk]

Aha, it is specified. Thank you.

[hollow oriole]

Is there a way to filter out specific uniques.im trying to farm red rings, as the two I have don't have lp, and I only want those to show up

[modest trout]

I did it: T3 of the wood dungeon finished 🙂

I suck @ Heorot in empowered monolith. His frost orb one shots me 😦

[slow anvil]

Hey Guys, i need some help with my loot filter. I wanna make it a more strict way. Wanna only show all T7 exalts with total affix count less or equal 16
i cant figure it out : /

[hollow oriole]

I just got one spotted by a necrotic attack when I had 83% Dodge Chance, 5300 ward, 284% Necrotic resistance in soul fire. I'm not sure what else I can do to not get one shot.

[faint cape]

Armor and other DR, avoid telegraphed attacks, swap the immunity shield if you need to

[cosmic mortar]

how do I assign for exampl Y button to "open inventory" with my DS controller ? I could remove "Y" button from an other action (command minions or something) but I can't assign it to something else.

[torpid scaffold]

I really struggle to understand how you are supposed to make gold. I started late and the MG market is so flooded with items not one thing I have listed has sold. And everything else is bonkers expensive. Even doing the gold monoliths only gets me like ~7k gold. Surely I am missing something?

[wooden sparrow]

hey guys somehow i disabled the display of my own minions names which is usually displayed in the top middle of the screen the same way that enemy monster names are being displayed. i can only see my minion hp bar but not the minion name. i need that urgendtly so that i can tarrget my own golem with rip blood. idk how to change that

[autumn rivet]

Is there a way to inspect other players in game? Like their gear/skills/faction ranks

[small hearth]

not at the moment

[sacred zealot]

Do resistances apply to ward?

[surreal verge]

Yes, the only thing that doesn't, is Endurance.

[sacred zealot]

Killer, thank you

[cunning rose]

whatever that problem was going on with the game i was talking about i fixed it somehow not sure what i did but its fixed and no longer does the annoying none responding thing so now i can play and its so smooth now lag free

[rugged remnant]

Where are all the siege golem echos at?

[clever echo]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/bestiary you can find locations here

[deep sundial]

I was playing coop with a friend; i started a monolith quest while he was picking up rewards, and he lost the chance to pick up all his rewards, is this intended?

[solemn anchor]

I'm also wondering this, I feel that gold drops in this game are pitifully bad.

[rugged remnant]

I dont think you can. It says "spawns in monoliths", but thats not a location.

[clever echo]

type the name and click on the name

[rugged remnant]

Wow, thank you. Didnt realize they could be opened

[left jackal]

anyone know if hybird health or cold resist gives higher ward for frost shackles?

[boreal venture]

whats the best m1 skill for necro?

[pale bobcat]

im confused on pen vs shred. Pen is a flat % which can go below 0 of thier resistance. Shred reduces resistance. but enemies generally have no resistance to begin with so what is the point? or can you shred below 0 as well? if so whats the point

[delicate verge]

Can someone help me teleport to radiant dunes?

[ionic dome]

Are there any class related armor and weapon sets to farm corresponding to one's build e.g diablo 3s shadows mantle for impale builds

[faint cape]

Probably hybrid health if you're scaling ward off your health (low life or twisted heart)
You'd need to do the math for your own specific build for a true answer

[faint cape]

Yeah, both basically do the same thing, just reduces their effective resistance against your damage, there's nothing special about them being at 0% resists, everything goes past that

[spring plank]

wait oracle is a rare/good amulet?

[rapid perch]

any news on any new content coming 👀

[faint cape]

It's the highest level amulet base type, and yeah it's good if you don't need the slot for a unique/resists/etc.

[candid elm]

There was this post where they want to expand the end game content and add some "pinnacle" boss fights. Scroll down to the Future Content section: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/post-launch-mid-week-update/64913 There hasn't been any date set for that next Cycle yet. Outside of the guesstimate of 3-4 per Cycle https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216767335512408184

[candid elm]

Not a lot reduces Damage Over Time, outside of things like Resistances and that Experimental Affix on Gloves that applies a % of Armor Mitigation to DoTs. Like DoTs bypass Armor and a lot of other defenses. So it can be helpful.

[ionic dome]

Anyone know? I don't want to finish the game with no end game goal

[viscid heron]

The trouble is that you asked about separate things.
There are a few Sets, and some are class-specific, but they’re not usually what you’re farming at end-game.

[candid elm]

There's class specific Unique Helmets, Armor, and Idols. Most weapons can be used by any class, with the exception of Bows that are just Rogues, but within the various Unique items, you'll definitely find some items that are geared towards specific classes.

For example something like Apathy's Maw can be used by anyone, but it's really just Void Knights that would actually use it https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAcEYHYE4g, as other classes don't make much use of Void Damage

[ionic dome]

What do we farm?

[viscid heron]

Mostly Uniques with at much LP as possible. 🤷‍♂️

[candid elm]

You farm for Exalted items - the items with at least one T6+ Affix that are displayed as purple - to upgrade your yellow Rare items. You farm for Legendary Potential Unique items. You combine an Exalted item with 4 Affixes and the same general item type with LP Uniques to create Legendary items. At the end of Temporal Sanctum dungeon you can do this LP crafting.

[ionic dome]

Ah ok

[torpid scaffold]

I really struggle to understand how you are supposed to make gold. I started late and the MG market is so flooded with items not one thing I have listed has sold. And everything else is bonkers expensive. Even doing the gold monoliths only gets me like ~7k gold. Surely I am missing something?

[candid elm]

Sorry, I don't have an answer for you as I'm playing Circle of Fortune. Maybe someone else has a suggestion. In this post the devs did mention that the MG inflation is an issue and they are going to look into making some changes in 1.1, but didn't want to implement something like that mid-cycle https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rmt-and-exploit-statement/70338 So it's something that will hopefully be addressed in the future. I know that doesn't really help you right now. Just wanted to let you know they're aware it's a problem and are going to try to work on it

[torpid scaffold]

Cheers, any info is helpful, so appreciate it!

[lunar bison]

If I make a second alt character to test build, can I buy gear on my main through merchants guild and equip my alt? or does that character have to lvl up merchants guild separately?

[candid elm]

If you make the second character in the same game made and don't turn on a challenge mode like Solo Character Found, then you will share the stash and in the first town, Keeper's Camp, your second character can choose to join Merchant's Guild and you'll share the MG rank on the second character.

So you'd just be concerned about the level requirements on the items. If you want to browse the bazaar on the second character, you'll still need to get to Maj'Elka somehow. Although you can also get a friend to warp you there. Otherwise, you can just use the stash to transfer items to the second character.

[lunar bison]

ahh ok thanks for the breakdown!

[candid elm]

You're welcome, they wanted to make it easy to Alts to share the same item faction ranks as your first character

[fair turret]

How awful is the bug when you enter the game and your characters don't appear and you have to close and open the game 20 times for them to appear💀
Does anyone know how to fix it?

[candid elm]

@grave epoch

[vagrant cape]

anyone know when the next cycle is meant to start?

[safe lagoon]

5 to 9 weeks from now.
Not confirmed yet

[gleaming sluice]

so my cast speed is pretty high but with immolators oblation i can only get up to like 8 stacks of ignite. but my buddy can get even higher than that and our cast speed is pretty similar. is there a passive or something a paladin has that removes ignite? the chance is 66

[chilly totem]

hi,anyone know why my skill capped at levl 20? before my skill can reached level 25 and above. now i cant level up my skill

[surreal verge]

Without affixes, skills can only level to 20.
To get higher than 20, you need other effects like affixes or uniques.

[chilly totem]

on weapon?

[surreal verge]

Or helm, armour, relic...

[chilly totem]

ooo i see, i was tinkering my build. now im not using uniques and on wep and boots thats why

[surreal verge]

Example:https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AKwNgzEA

[raven jolt]

guys, how can I search " ring with resistance / health " in the stash? is it possible?

[vivid saddle]

Hey guys, does anyone knows a tip on how and where to farm Twisted heart of the dragon? I'm trying days to farm it from the Emperor of corpses at empowered monolith

[storm blaze]

You're doing the farming correctly
I hope you're actually taking the blessing every time after the kill because if you just port out without doing that and go back in it rolls the same drops

[dense stag]

Does shadow daggers scale off melee damage that is elemental? Like if i add +20 melee fire damage does that increase shadow dagger damage?

[weary bone]

Question: Was this Skill removed from the game? (Druid) https://imgur.com/a/ngrG5vs

[surreal verge]

Correct, it doesn't exist anymore. Replaced by Gathering Storm.

[weary bone]

Very sad, thanks

[surreal verge]

Don't be, it was a terrible skill.

[weary bone]

🤣

[tight girder]

It will add fire damage to any melee skill, but this damage won't be scaled by any increases to physical damage, but things like melee damage will still scale it

[tiny olive]

Is it just me or is the "Festering sewers" super annoying for getting bonus stability??? I swear every time I do it I end up with -1 needed and can't find the last mob anywhere.

[storm blaze]

Eh getting the bonus stability to full isn't really worthnit

[tight girder]

You don't need to fill up the bar to get a bonus. You get whatever amount you've collected, so it's never really worth it to go out of your way to fill it up

[tiny olive]

Oh really? TIL I guess! Thats great to know 😄 (Only started playing last week)

[storm blaze]

I mean nothing is stopping you from going to full
But it's not necessary at all

[tiny olive]

Yeah I didn't realise it gave you bonus if you didn't fill it up. So I suppose its best to just blast away until you complete the main objective and then leave

[tight girder]

Yep, that is the most efficient way

[gleaming zealot]

How is the game actually to play coop with 1 friend? Any issues?
Thanks!

[pastel prairie]

I’ve been playing with a buddy since 0.9. Multiplayer has improved a lot over the last few months and it’s the most stable it’s ever been. It’s not as stable as playing solo. Sometimes you will experience longer loading screens. I recommend it especially if you guys play together consistently because you can gift each other items, which can be huge for gearing especially if you guys go COF.

[gleaming zealot]

Wow thanks for the answer ❤️

[random mantle]

Hello I just started almost 2 weeks ago running all over the Monolith. Is mad alchemist's ladle only drops from Rune Prison?

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[random mantle]

Thank you sir. is there any chance that I can make its drop rate increase?

[icy drift]

Don't think so no

[surreal verge]

No

[random mantle]

Since 99 level I only had 2 ladle..... Exiled mage maybe left his ladle at home.. thank you for your advice!

[pastel prairie]

Keep on grinding and more will drop, I’ve found higher corruption helps. Currently have about 4 at LP2 and I only keep LP1 with good stats and have about 6

[misty badger]

Hello @everyone. I've managed to complete last 3 monolith areas, but i cannot click the chest in the middle to unlock the empowered monoliths. What am i missing?

[random mantle]

Maybe My corruption is too law for my item. Thank you sir

[candid elm]

Just post in the channel, don't @ everyone. Try this https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1216710846806229072 if that doesn't work, try warping between the 3x level 90s until the area in the middle of them starts blinking

[misty badger]

sorry for that. Found a strange solution on the forum

[cedar locust]

Do you have the link? Always happy to add more info to our FAQ 🙂

[misty badger]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/empowered-timelines-wont-unlock/51946/17 - comment of Harpersmash. Like he says, not sore what step worked, but i did the same thing. -"Relogged
Did one monolith map in reign of fire
Ported back to end of time
Walked through to the monolith of time manually from end of time
Ported to last ruin"

[cedar locust]

Thanks! It might have been running the single Echo then going back (not sure walking from EoT played a part though it might have!) - this is in our FAQ already, though I can add the other stuff just in case it helps!

[mossy forum]

question: how is crit rate calculated in game on our stat sheet? do we add our global crit chance with our spell/bow crit chance for our final %?

[candid elm]

Yes, generic Crit applies to everything that Hits. Then something like Spell Crit is only to Spells that Hit. Your character sheet probably already does this. Like if you have 5% Crit Chance and get a flat +5% Spell Crit, you'll see Spell Crit listed at 10%

[mossy forum]

alright, thanks!

[dense stag]

fastest way to boost my friend to lv 50?

[elder zodiac]

Arena probably if ur friend can survive the waves.

[dense stag]

tier 1s?

[elder zodiac]

Dno if it matters, i normally just do the highest tier i can without my friend dying all the time😅

[weary bone]

Question: I wanna become the world best & most popular LE Hardcore streamer but I keep dying at level 1. What should I do?

[pastel prairie]

Just like before make sure your nvidia drivers are capped at 75

[dense stag]

thanks this is way better than monos

[gilded venture]

when i look at my skills, at the damage, is critical hit part of the damage-calculation?

[toxic echo]

yes. even if doing a dot build, the tooltip will calc crit into it.

so its never quite right

[gilded venture]

oh ok, thx a lot. i focus on fire, and just a little fire damage or a little intelligence, seem to do better than a lot of increased critical hit (in diablo 3 i was used to anyything with critical hit would almost always be better than the rest...)

[surreal verge]

Well, it is, if you build for it. Of course you also need fire dam,age.

[candid elm]

If you're doing Fire Hits, Crit is good. If you're focusing on Ignites, Crit doesn't help Damage Over Time. Although there's some items and passives that can let you scale Crit Multi for some DoTs

[gilded venture]

thx for the answers. but in all circumstances, if im in doubt what will give me the most damage, i can just equip said item, and see if my skill damages increased or decreased, and that with a few exceptions should be reliable?

[surreal verge]

It's much better to test it than to rely on tooltip dps.

[gilded venture]

yeah ok. i wonder if the tool tips be more "precise" later on, if that is something that is often requested. im not sure its needed, but i would think so, if testing it yourself is better than the tooltip

[surreal verge]

Tooltips also cannot account for conditionals, so it will never better than personal testing.

[gilded venture]

ok then, thx for input! 🙂

[mossy forum]

how often do we get more than 1 exalted line? i just got a piece with 2 lines and i was really surprised (just started monoliths)

is it possible to get all 4 lines exalted?

[surreal verge]

RNG.
Yes.

[mossy forum]

oh, do we start seeing it more often at higher corruption levels?

[surreal verge]

Technically, but it's still very rare.

[merry depot]

julra's one shot ability the one where u can only dodge by switching realms, if i didnt switch do i get one shot? even if i had 100k ward?

[toxic echo]

very possible, dpending on modifiers

really only one way to test

😉

[modest trout]

How does the rune of shaping do? What are those implicits?

[toxic echo]

implicits are the stats right under the name of the item, so the ones that are tied to base item type

[candid elm]

I'm guessing it's the Catastrophic Implosion listed here https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/VoidNagasaBoss
Says it's 2k base damage with 10,000% added damage effectiveness. So does that mean it's a 20 million hit? Not sure

[candid elm]

Like if your sword has a 1-10 Melee damage range up at the top, and it rolled with say a 5, that would re-roll that value and maybe you could get it with a higher value.

Compared to Refinement, which re-rolls the values of the explicit Affixes on the bottom.

Both just re-roll the value within the range.

[modest trout]

Interesting: I used the rune a couple of times, but didn't realize any change on the implicits.

[candid elm]

I find it helpful on a item like Bone Amulet that has a 13% to 40% range on each of the implicit resists. If I get one that has lower rolls, then I'll use Shaping to see if it can roll closer to the top end of the range.

You can also use a Glyph of Hope at the same time for that 25% chance of the crafting taking zero Forging Potential

[icy drift]

@blazing glacier Btw I kinda worded my response poorly, you still don't double the initial check for 1lp, since as mike said you should (and people have confirmed it for me (i played mg)) still get 0 lp 0lpl items at 100 corruption and according to mike, practically forever

If the CoF bonus doubled the first check you'd have 0% chance for 0lp for like 30 lpl items at 0 corruption at area level 100 or something (I don't remember exactly)

What i'm pretty sure it does is halve the chance of getting 0lp, so it'd go from 36% chance to get 0lp to 18% chance to get 0lp (at 0lpl 100 area level 0 corruption)

"halving the chance of getting no lp" => "Doubling the chance of getting lp", it's a bit missleading I think but it's an easier sentence to digest for people

Here's an estimate of what It should look like (x being corruption and y being odds of getting that lp (1 = 100%))

Note that 0lp odds approach but never reach 0, as it's asymptotic towards it, since mike said that it should take until like 10^64 corruption for it to stop being able to get 0lp, which i assume happens because of rounding

[keen dragon]

Am I able to slam affixes from a class-specific relic onto a soulfire relic (non-class specific unique relic)?

[icy drift]

yes, but it will become class specific

[keen dragon]

so it will cause the soulfiure relic to be tagged as sentinal specific? Wild

[icy drift]

correct

if the affix is a sentinel affix

[modest trout]

What is Orobyss "Gaze" for?

[icy drift]

If you kill a shade of orobyss while you have gazes you'll earn more corruption

[pastel prairie]

Yes

[blazing glacier]

I'd need to double check but I'm almost certain I didn't drop a single 0LP of any rings under 30 LPL out of thousands of samples

[icy drift]

There's also this
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

But like i said, i'm not 100% sure since i haven't looked at the code for the corruption or CoF scaling

[torpid cedar]

i remember checking and none did. i think only 2 meet the lp lvl though

[candid elm]

If you successfully defeat the Shade at the edges of the Echo web, the Gaze will give bonus Corruption. It stacks, but has diminishing returns: 1 +10, 2 +20, 3 +27, 4 +31, 5 +35, etc. I usually do it at 2-3.

If you die to the Shade, the Gaze is lost.

[torpid cedar]

just looking at 2x their base lp %.

[blazing glacier]

I just checked, I have 1020 recorded samples of < LPL 30 ring drops, none dropped as 0LP

[torpid cedar]

they did confirm that proph lp rates increase with cor so a few more might be in that 100% chance range

[blazing glacier]

this includes 100 corr drops - sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DLiKBOApPtBBm5prr185HU-iYM9k28ENFgz-voXpB-4/edit#gid=667650554

[icy drift]

100 corruption should only give around a 5% boost, not really that important to this

but yeah i mean if none of them had 0 lp then that's pretty strong evidence

I have graphs and formulas for either way, since i thought it would double it at first too

[blazing glacier]

@icy drift I am pretty cautious of "low sample size" problems, but you can see the 0 LP chance slowly creep up from 0% at LPL30 - that part is very consistent

[icy drift]

Yeah that would follow the math

[honest birch]

100 is 5% 300 is 10% and 600 is 14%

[icy drift]

So i mean it seems plausible it just straight up doubles it then, i've had several people say that they had dropped sub 30 lpl items at 0 lp, they must've been mistaken or something then

i'm not gonna steer myself either way for now since it's all based on drops and stuff

as long as i haven't seen the code i'm not gonna have a definitive stance

On a different note, here's the ww graph, this one is 100% accurate since there's no scaling for it except area level

Note how 16 is both rarer than 15 and 17, they did it dirty

also 18 is more common than 17

[torpid cedar]

the cor bonus must be multiplicative with the cof and base. if it were additive you would see massive increases in the high lp gear

[blazing glacier]

Hm maybe. It's really hard to say. I don't have data above 1k corruption. I'm at 2.3k though now so I might do another test at 3k ish? With Mike confirming prophecies do work the same we can use that data and I get mountains of favor now for testing

[torpid cedar]

if lp4 increase additive by 16% at 2000 you would be getting a lot of them

[icy drift]

that's not how that would work

[blazing glacier]

It's not a flat addition though
It's 0.00001 *1.16 or whatever

[torpid cedar]

yeah that's why i think it must be multiplicative

[surreal verge]

I thought we're talking about how 16% from corruption and 50% from CoF are additive or multiplitive, not with the ACTUAL LP rate.

[blazing glacier]

Right but we don't know if it's (base lp chance) * corr bonus *cof bonus OR (base lp chance) * (corr bonus + cof bonus) or any other way they could do math

[icy drift]

additive would be (CoF + corruption) * base chance

Multiplicative would be (CoF * corruption) * base chance

[torpid cedar]

all of them must be multiplicative. even a tiny additive one would have a massive increase in the high lp gear

[icy drift]

you missunderstand what an additive multiplier is i think

at the end of the day you still multiply with the base chance

but you add the multipliers together

[surreal verge]

Are you sure we're talking about the same thing?

[blazing glacier]

No it's not additive as in increases nominally, it's additive as in share the same bucket

Think int % scaling + spell damage % scaling + etc it's all the same bucket.

Vs more damage multipliers, separate bucket

[torpid cedar]

the original question was how they stacked right?

[surreal verge]

Yes. But it was:
(CoF + corruption)
Or
(CoF * corruption)

Base LP chance was never in the topic.

[fair turret]

How awful is the bug when you enter the game and your characters don't appear and you have to close and open the game 20 times for them to appear💀
Does anyone know how to fix it?

[torpid cedar]

so the question is if it compounds or not. either way it's not additive

the difference would be pretty small. sampling to hit that level of accuracy is going to put your samples into the millions

[cedar locust]

Try verifying your game files through Steam. If that doesn't help, try choosing another Server from the Login screen

[icy drift]

Compound would be like compounding interest, that's not what we mean, we're just talking about if the two multipliers are added together or multiplied together

they're still multipliers, so they'll multiply by the base at the end

[fair turret]

I'll try the server thing, I already did the thing of verifying the files and I also tried uninstalling and installing

[torpid cedar]

i understand the difference. if you have a 14% multiplier and the end result isn't greater than 14% its not additive scaling. separate sources of multiplicative scaling doesn't make them additive

[cedar locust]

If this continues, and you haven't already, can you please submit an in game bug report for this?

[surreal verge]

... That's why they're discussing if it's additive or multiplitive

[modest trout]

What is the minimal DPS for a Sentinel on empowered monoliths, that I should aim for?

[mellow rune]

does crit strikes apply to spells along with crite mult ?

[fair turret]

When I get the error that my characters don't appear it doesn't let me send an error report either, but right now my characters loaded after opening and closing the game about 10 times

[surreal verge]

Yes, as long as they hit. (Not DoTs)

[cedar locust]

Okay, so the 'Report A Bug' button is missing from the lower left of the Character Select screen or it's there and clicking on it does nothing?

[torpid cedar]

if you can find a piece of gear that's near 100% with compounding multipliers it's going to have the least number of samples since the difference with no stacking multipliers would be the greatest. ideally with a high base drop rate. otherwise asking the devs is the only shot.

[modest trout]

Is there any monolith blessing to raise health in %?

[fair turret]

When you click it does nothing. This has been happening to me since the last update.

[cedar locust]

That sounds like a server connection error. This thread might have a solution - https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205212339654234153 - but the first things I can think to check are seeing if you have a VPN on when you normally don't OR you turned your VPN off when it's usually on.

[candid elm]

Not %, just +Health. Memory of Light from Black Sun
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/IIwBgzALCBMCsIKA

[fair turret]

I don't use VPN. If I get the error again when I exit the game, I will try to do what it says there to see if it solves it, thank you.

[cedar locust]

If you are still unable to use the in game reporting tool, you can also reach out to our Support Team about this with your Player.log files which is what the IGBR tool would attach automatically 🙂

[fair turret]

okey, thanks you🫡

Question: Does bleed chance with Shield mean bleed chance per Shield? -> https://imgur.com/a/NkdnPDy

[surreal verge]

• Bleed Chance with Thorn Shield

[forest orbit]

If I have beaten the current monolith and I'm having problems with the boss of the next monolith can I just keep redoing the previous monolith l if need to gear up

I need a helmet anyway and this chart says the black sun timeline drops more unique helmets

[surreal verge]

TO gear? Sure you can,but maybeeee rethink your build if you're having trouble in normal monoliths.
Also I hope you have more than 1.5k health!

[cosmic mountain]

i just got my first LP4 item, and it's the gloves Fighting Chance. does anybody know of a solid build that revolves around it? kinda seems like... it's not a very useful unique to begin with, unfortunately.

[stuck reef]

Sorry for bothering ppl. got a question. i tried the filter wizard. but im not sure how do use it. i imported it in and its like it shows all exalted items that drops etc. do you turn something off or ?. Thanks and appreciate you for taking your time and helping me out
