[ember yarrow]

Cant see the hud basically

Thank yoiu so much

[iron forge]

Np!

[acoustic thicket]

don't worry, tysm for the tips. Btw i think i'll stick with the first two since i kinda fear that playing sorcerer might make my game crash because of too many explosions and stuffs

[empty agate]

Hey, I've had a bit of a break from the game. But I saw on reddit, a comment about reworking Volatile Reversal, has that gone through yet or is it still in the works?

[toxic echo]

coming 1.2, in april

[empty agate]

Ah, still a bit off. Cheers!

[ember yarrow]

what can i do with my money?

[dapper light]

Does "only on direct use" on a chargeable ability mean it won't work if the ability is procced, or if it is charged up?

[toxic echo]

with gold? stash tabs, respecs, lightless arbor dungeon gambling

[toxic echo]

direct use = you press the button

[dapper light]

Thanks 👍

[ember yarrow]

i want toi gamble where do i gamble

i got 80k

[toxic echo]

thats not enough. lol. lightless is millions

[ember yarrow]

what

WHAT

what is loightless

[toxic echo]

....lightless arbor dungeon gambling. exactly what you replied to in the first comment. its a dungeon.

[ember yarrow]

Oh dang

im slow

if u havent noticent

[surreal verge]

Yes, Twin Spirits disables ANY other + max wraith effects.

[carmine wolf]

That is... what I expected but still sad.

[surreal verge]

You think they're just going to give you 14 perma wraiths?

(They'll still take the % current health drain anyway)

[carmine wolf]

Yea

I thought the drain would be an acceptable sacrifice... but no.

[olive forge]

are there any builds resembling the good ole crayon-eating zealading from d2 experience?

[desert tree]

Short range fast attack speed?

@olive forge

[olive forge]

pretty much, though i dont know how to describe what exactly i liked about zeal

just played multishot marksman and it was awesome, thought if i could play some other "d2 class"

i recall i specced to smiter only to do ubers and then back to zeal
still rember brain juice leaking thru my ears as i just hold down lmb and hit phys immune without break and i liked that

[desert tree]

Spell Blade Shattered Strike
Rive Void Knight

EQ Beastmaster

[olive forge]

checking builds, looks like i already have out-of-box spellblade in my stash
will look into these, thanks

[desert tree]

That's for the good stuff
I have got a few weirder things if you want

[alpine pendant]

if I sent bug report in the game but later discovered it was just me messing up not an actual bug can I do something about the previous report? (thought poison bolt didn't work on aura of decay, but I just forgot AoD is snapshot when toggled so I had to turn it off and back on to get the poison bolt node working)

[cedar locust]

Don't worry about it 🙂

[desert tree]

Nooo !! You delayed 1.2 for another week !!
(Its a joke, just to be safe)

[copper sage]

so i tried playing with no internet connection, but apperntly you cant....

[fierce forge]

Could anybody please explain to me why does turning on LE eat up 10 gb of my hard drive

[toxic echo]

you have to change it to full offline mode thru steam

like the actual properties

[copper sage]

will give a try, thanks!

ya i opent the game thru a gaming app and not steam so i dident have the option

im the dumdum

[dense jay]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-gum-museum-gif-5329569

[dense jay]

Did Twitch channel layout change?

[storm wren]

yeah it's changed, I don't get used to that yet

[dense jay]

like all the info is at the top now 👀

[desert tree]

Summon Locusts?

Are they playing an actual locusts build?

[dense jay]

Is it... bad?

[desert tree]

I have not seen anything great coming out of it but I am willing to be proven otherwise

How are they doing ?

[dense jay]

Hmm... not sure. As far as the stream is concerned, she's doing normal mono

[dapper light]

You presumably have at least that much virtual RAM (storage used as RAM) and are requiring its use due to LE needing more RAM than you have. This will happen with any application or software that uses more RAM than you have. To fix: either lower the amount of virtual RAM your PC can use (tutorials online) or buy more RAM (or possibly lower the graphics setting, if applicable, but may not be graphics necessarily).

[dense jay]

hmm.. my first aberroth kill

[cedar locust]

https://tenor.com/view/letsparty-happy-celebrate-dance-gif-731824735344473423

Well done!!

[dense jay]

30k exp

thanks AVE!

when is your 1st aberroth kill stream :v

[cedar locust]

A loooooooong way off I think haha

[dense jay]

LE 2.0?

[cedar locust]

Sure, that's a good time frame to aim for 😅

[storm wren]

hhhhhh

[storm wren]

Gooooooooooood Job!

You have an amazing achievement since now

[dense jay]

Kirra, you did aberroth already? I am sure you say poe2 mustered up your courage

[storm wren]

Not yet

[dense jay]

Ooo.. when is the time?

[storm wren]

Good question XD

[dense jay]

I was just randomly logging into LE at 12.30am and thought eh why not try aberroth for real

<@&1161418687471956101>

[winged musk]

is this worth it? while the buff is bloody insane, the 80% drawback is also kind of interesting.
Is there a general consensus on items like these?

[royal loom]

Do bladedancer shadows only copy direct casts of a skill or can they copy say, dancing strikes throwing out shurikens for example?

Which Rogue ascendancy has the most increases to throwing damage?

[desert tree]

It's good with lp also you generally use one that doesn't involve your main element (this one would be nice for a Fire build)

[winged musk]

i see

so for lightning build it's bad (also my experience is that the drawback is too big)

[desert tree]

It requires you to use 2 main skills with 2 different elements
Concept is cool but the pay off is not good enough for the investment

Why jump through that many hoops when you can just blast everything with Frostclaw

[sand moss]

is this game with leagues like POE ? if yes are near the end of one?

[toxic echo]

the next one is in april

[storm wren]

Do last epoch release on Xbox/switch/PS4/PS5 or it's on steam only?

[tranquil flicker]

Currently the game is only available on Steam.

[ember yarrow]

feeling weak af for a lvl 51 bladedancer,, time to follow a guide?

on act VIII

[faint cape]

Might just need to watch your resists and maybe health, act 8 enemies deal primarily physical, lightning, and cold damage

If you haven't started crafting yet, now would be a good time since that makes it easy for you to get the stats you need

[ember yarrow]

im on act 9 rn

crafting is it like forge F button or making own items?

the thing is when it comes it gear i havbe no idea what is good and what isnt, im rly bad with gear

[ember yarrow]

something like this?

[faint cape]

Generally, it's finding items on the ground amd then using the forge to make them into something good

[ember yarrow]

Alright, imma do my research and learn how to forge and craft properly

[tiny glacier]

How many hours would you say that the campaign takes to get through?

[toxic echo]

Fresh cycle start, 8ish hrs..less if you know what you are doing.

Alt accounts...2 hrs if you know what you are doing

[ember yarrow]

how do i know which number is a crit nmbr? is it a colour?

the numbers that come up from striking an enemy

[toxic echo]

Yellow is crit

[ember yarrow]

I seeee

[old kettle]

guys how do I get prophecies on circle of fortune?

[toxic echo]

Buy them at the observatory...where you joined cof

[surreal verge]

Only direct casts.
Falconner has the most iirc, but it's sprinkled everywhere

[faint cape]

Shadow cascade does pop all your shadows when procced, since it specifically does that any time it's used from any source. I can't think of any other skills that do the same that are "proccable".

[old kettle]

question guys how do complete this quest?

I'm already doing monos

[surreal verge]

You need to go into monos with that specific enemy

[old kettle]

I don't get how I can complete this

[old kettle]

oh like those skeleton eyes?

[surreal verge]

Ye

[old kettle]

where do they usually spawn?

are they on fall of the out casts?

[dense jay]

How would you settle with a nihilist drop before you stop murdering Abby?

2LP
+2 skills
No negative stats

All the above?

[old kettle]

I killed several immortal eye that is I still did not finish the quest ?

why?

[surreal verge]

I got no clue, are you sure it's while in a monolith

campaign ones don't count

[old kettle]

yeah wtf?

[surreal verge]

Then I got no idea

[old kettle]

yeah im in the monolith

[old kettle]

probably a bug?

[surreal verge]

Might wana #1210281997591908452 it

[old kettle]

I'm playing offline mode this is kinda bad if its not working

[desert tree]

There are 2 mobs that shares the same model but not the same name

[old kettle]

I have the kill rares prophecy but its not completing it also does not have conditions what the hell?

[desert tree]

Really weird

Share a screenshot of the prophecy please

[old kettle]

I deleted the prophecy and added another one that has condition that I kill rares in the monolith and its not completing

I killed rares in the monolith btw

I can live stream it and kill rares in the monolith but it still would not complete I'm doing offline mode

[surreal verge]

The "count" only goes up every 7 rare kills.

So 7 x 5, and you get the reward every 7, up to 5 times

[old kettle]

so its like a blessing?

not a quest?

I'm new so my bad if its like that

is it like that?

[faint cape]

No, it's like a quest to kill 7 rares that you can complete 3 times

You don't see any progress other than the number of completions you've done

[old kettle]

so it stays there and just gives me items and not completing the quest?

[faint cape]

Kill more rare monsters in the monolith, eventually you should see the first completion pop and give you 3 exalted rings. Then you keep killing rares until it pops two more times and it'll go away

[old kettle]

how do I know that it pops? I don't see any achievement tracking like "kill 7 rares 2 more left"

[surreal verge]

The game will flash a "Prophecy Completed" banner and drop the rewards on the spot.

[tranquil obsidian]

hello i finally unlocked empowered monoliths and now I'm struggling.
I have a 82 rive void knight. I probably need to get better blessings (i only did only one boss clear for each monolith) and equipment, especially armor and weapons. resistances are overcapped at least.
Do i go back to curbstomp normal 90 monoliths to get better blessings and hoping for a lucky drops, or keep running empowered ones, while taking forever, dieing a lot and unable to do the stabilization events?
Or should i go do some arena? For dungeons i have no worthwhile equipment to slam together and in money i just have 1M.
What weapon/armor piece could help me if i do some ascend attempts?

[desert tree]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/
Share your profile in #🔱┃sentinel, and we will try to help you
But from what you said you have too much Resist, not enough Hp

Re running some lvl 90 monos could help you if Empowered is really too hard but maybe there are some "big mistakes" in your build

[surreal verge]

Quick note: You don't need to overcap your resists, 65-75 is enough

[tranquil obsidian]

well some are given by non recraftable equipment but for some i thought that i could help in case of mobs with penetration/shred abilities (especially physical). It is not the case?

[surreal verge]

Mobs do not have pen, and shred is rare.
Almost all of them are given by monolith modifiers.

[tranquil obsidian]

good to know then, i will remove res idols to get rid of overcaps

[ancient rose]

Hi.

Does somebody know, if there is a new class coming somewhere in the future? Would be awesome to get one.

[desert tree]

New Masteries and New Classes will come but not anytime soon

[ancient rose]

Nice.
I did not expect them soon. But it sounds very nice, that we'll probably get them! Thanks for your answer!

[placid tide]

is the PVP in game now ? Is planned ?

[desert tree]

No. Probably but not any time soon.

[placid tide]

I see thanks !

[sleek parcel]

Is this normal that somehow Shade Of Orobyss is very close to the center?

I killed 3 harbingers already

[surreal verge]

Do you perhaps, have another timeline that has much higher corruption?

[sleek parcel]

yes one has 160

as I said, I killed 3 harbingers already

[sturdy flame]

It's a new feature to boost corruption in timelines with low corruption

[sleek parcel]

nice

[sturdy flame]

To boost it closely to the highest one

[surreal verge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV7Idl0vsJ0

[sleek parcel]

And how many unique Harbingers are there? I swear the one in Reign of Dragon and the one in Age of Winter have the same abilities

[surreal verge]

Each timeline has their own harbinger.

[sleek parcel]

Yeah but the two I mentioned have same skillset I think

Holding a hammer

[surreal verge]

You might have somehow gotten a dupe harbinger, each one of them has their own model, and their own unique drop.

[twin oak]

All are different but the base models share their basic attacks. Every Harbinger inherits a couple of skills from the timeline boss. There are two base Harbingers:

• slow and fat, man with a hammer
• fast and skinny, woman with a spear

[sleek parcel]

oh yeah, that's what I mean. Two base Harbingers

[fallen ocean]

Have there been any lich buff? since 1.0

[surreal verge]

Reaper Form got a new node that's useless.

[fallen ocean]

so lich is still not played even after a year

[surreal verge]

Well, Stygian Coal helped made two new lich builds.

Poison Lich and Crit Coal Lich

[fallen ocean]

coal? whats thay

[surreal verge]

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

Off-hand Unique that changes Drain Life

[coral dagger]

Does having 2 of the same unique ring equipped work, in terms of stacking?

[storm blaze]

yes

[coral dagger]

Are there any restrictions to that or does basically every thing on rings stack

[desert tree]

Some effects might not go over 100% but otherwise no restrictions

[sturdy flame]

why do i lose 3300% per second

i do not have any items or nods that lose my health

i am also not losing any health XD

[faint cape]

Sounds like a (visual) bug, please report it using the in game tool (it automatically sends game logs, maybe they'll be able to figure out what is causing that)

[winged musk]

can somebody tell me what does "rank" mean?

[surreal verge]

The faction rank requirement to equip the item. Purple for Circle of Fortune.

[acoustic thicket]

Just wondering, is the point of empowered monos, just to get the same gear but its better stats? Or is there more to it than that?

[surreal verge]

That and empowered blessings.

[acoustic thicket]

Gotchaaaaa

[twin oak]

and progressing the Forgotten Knights faction (eventually unlocking Aberroth)

[acoustic thicket]

I forgot to ask, but is the only way to erase the modifiers from a mono if I find the node on the web?

[toxic echo]

complete an echo

to get rid of the ones you already have

[acoustic thicket]

Oh you're right, I thought I saw that, but just realized this other buff they get is from corruption I believe

[fiery nova]

How do I take an in-game screenshot? I tried F12 but it does not work.

Ah, figured it out.

[copper sage]

lol, why are there other maps?

and a shop?

[desert tree]

Print screen key
Or Windows + Shift +S

[faint cape]

You're in one of the three side areas that are "under" the main zone (map you see in the top-right), but in reality is just some distance away. The shop NPC is in another one of the side areas.

[copper sage]

ohhhh, thanks!!!

[onyx ice]

Hey im pretty new to the game. But im trying to kill the Eye of the Storm but i keep getting one shotted. Can anyone help me in the right direction? This is my character https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/np2f70n2

[copper sage]

lagon?

my advise is alternate between the arms, he have lot of one shot skills

[onyx ice]

idk what you mean by lagon?

Yeah but is my resistance, armor, health or anything else good? Nothing i should improve on?

[copper sage]

nvm me, i confused somestuff

im less familiar with void knight, but no point gonig over 75% res unless you have some skill that get affected by it.
but you have no crit strike avodeice\reduce dmg

and lagon is a tentacle boss

[onyx ice]

Okey, yeah thats a start. i will see if i can get myself some reduce dmg

thank you

[desert tree]

1.3k HP is way way too low

[candid elm]

Lagon is the boss in the Eye of the Storm fight in Chapter 8 and the boss of the Ending the Storm Monolith in end game. The big Octopus/Kraken boss. In addition to getting more HP, Resistances, Armor, etc. Maxroll has some little video clips of the boss abilities that can be helpful to watch. The large circle and the sweeping beam attack will always probably always kill you if you can't avoid them. Chapter 8 https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/lagon-chapter-8-boss-guide#boss-mechanics-header
Monolith https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/monolith/lagon-ending-the-storm-boss-guide#boss-mechanics-header

[copper sage]

what about warlock?

[candid elm]

Same deal, you want more HP/Ward in the end game so you're not getting 1 shot by things. Keeping moving can help a lot and having +movement speed, especially with Warlock where you can just cast a Chthonic Fissure and then run around avoiding enemies.

[copper sage]

https://tenor.com/view/mcqueen-gif-25874245

[hasty coral]

@toxic echo this passive

from tree. does it scale with minion damage?

[toxic echo]

yeah, ALL minion dmg is scaled with minion dmg

[hasty coral]

including dots?

[toxic echo]

so if you are focusing on poison...you want, minion dmg, minion dot dmg, minion psn dmg..etc

yes

[hasty coral]

minion dot damage is not for staffs and wands

[faint cape]

Right, wands and staves are not really great minion weapons, generally. Staves are a little better than wands for that though, iirc.

[old kettle]

hey guys can I get the unique iten unstable core through using rune of asccendance?

what's the RNG on that thing?

[slate stag]

3-5 in 100 RoAs I guess

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[sleek parcel]

If a cycle ends, where do the item listings in Cycle go?

[candid elm]

Hmm, I imagine they're put into something like a remove only stash tab and sent to Legacy along with everything else? There's a menu in the Legacy stash to access items from previous Cycles (although apparently they're going to be changing that name to Seasons in the future instead?) and a Merge button for things like Gold, crafting materials, and faction rep. https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1260279433772662854
Maybe someone has a more concrete answer than that.

[old kettle]

guys how do I change tiers in the arena?

I have a prophecy that I need to do in the arena and it says tier 2

[candid elm]

You get a screen to pick the Tier. It's probably something like you need to have beaten Tier 1 to access Tier 2.

[candid elm]

Also, it is really Tier 2+. If you want to do that Prophecy in T3 or T4, that also works.

[old kettle]

how do I kill the crimson blade? is it a mob? I can't seem to get him in the arena

[surreal verge]

He's one of the 3 arena bosses.

No, you have no choice in the matter of which arena boss you fight, it's RNG.

[old kettle]

are there good unique body armor for frost builds?

besides unstable core?

I need good stuff that gives mana and boost my frost damage a bit

[quaint ledge]

i have a bit of a dumb question

so if i am not playing on cycle, like either legacy or offline, is all the content from the cycle version in the game or is it an older version?

is cycle just leaderboard etc?

[old kettle]

I play offline and chose cycle

[quaint ledge]

oh if offline has cycle then that must mean legacy does not have the content from that cycle i guess

[surreal verge]

Nope, legacy has all content, there’s no cycle exclusive content currently

Apart from leaderboards and seperate markets

[quaint ledge]

oh i see, thanks

[old kettle]

how do I check my prophecies while not in the main hall of the COF?

guys in the merchants guild do you need to be online while trading?

I wanna change factions after this lol

[surreal verge]

Your faction screen has a prophecies tab

[surreal verge]

No

[old kettle]

you just gain favors to trade uniques and items but is still RNG?

[surreal verge]

No, you’re just buying stuff from someone else

[old kettle]

but I'm playing offline does it affect that?

what does this mean?

how do I unequip item factions?

what does this mean come on don't tell me I have to sell the Items that I got from this

[surreal verge]

Oh. You got no market to buy from, so Merchant’s Guild is useless

[surreal verge]

Check your equipment, beside the level requirement

[old kettle]

bruh

I quit bruh

[old kettle]

thanks for the heads up bro

[surreal verge]

Oh

I mistaken that to “do you need to be in-game to trade”

Slipped my mind that you’re playing offline

[frozen lily]

Cycles of this game is every 6-10 months?

[surreal verge]

3 months is the intent.

[desert tree]

3-4*

[acoustic thicket]

Are pet builds very micro managing intensive?

[storm blaze]

IF you want to be efficient, yes

[sonic saddle]

necro has a few that need less micromanaging, but in general yes

EHG are not big on lazy minion builds

BM is one of the most button intensive classes in the game

[acoustic thicket]

Soon as I saw that there is an option to direct them to attack whatever you're focusing made me think it would be more intense

[old kettle]

hey guys where can I find the monster manual in this game so I know what monsters I should be killing?

and I know what they look like and where to find them

[desert tree]

Best you can find is on lastepoch.tunklab.com

[tender egret]

Hello everyone, this is my first time writing on discord, the game has caught me. I would like to see a pure warrior class as such, basing its damage on the physical, something similar to a barbarian. I have thought about it for a long time and it could be divided into 3 masteries, Monk, gladiator and void fighter. I know that developing a class is hard and long work, both for the design of the mechanics and the different models and effects, but as part of the community I would like to propose new ideas to improve the video game. Finally, is there any plan to release any new class or mastery in the future? It does not matter if it is not the fighter.

[storm blaze]

Don't think they'd make a 2nd void fighter
There are plans to make new class + masteries

[tender egret]

I mean as a counterpart to the monk, an unarmed or staff wielding void fighter,u know how, monk on the bright side and monk of emptiness as the opposite

[surreal verge]

#1210282176680169562
They do plan to release new classes and masteries in the far future.

[opal bloom]

nvm

[sleek parcel]

yo do area level and corruption affect Harbinger's remains?

[cedar locust]

Do you mean Harbingers or Nemesis?

[sleek parcel]

Nemesis

do they affect the rewards?

[cedar locust]

Nemesis rewards are decided by the area they first 'spawn' in, however in Empowered Monoliths I believe it's the same across the board

From Mike, one of our Devs - "Nemesis rolls are completely unrelated to corruption and/or distance from center in the timeline.

The benefit to the Nemesis system for increasing corruption is that you encounter it more frequently." - #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[opal bloom]

how does ward gained work?

[cedar locust]

In what context?

[opal bloom]

i don t understand the ward gained part

[cedar locust]

When you use a potion - either by using one intentionally or running over one with less than full HP - you will gain 30 Ward. With this specific affix, you will also remove any ailments you might have 🙂

Ward Explanation and Ailment Explanation

[acoustic thicket]

Guys are these boots good/could i use them in some builds? (Also, how do i make them legendary? lol)

[toxic echo]

wear them, and they will get affixes when you kill things

no one can say if they will be good until you get your affixes

they can be tho

[acoustic thicket]

Oh ok, understood

[acoustic thicket]

But generally are they used in some builds?

[toxic echo]

yeah, if they get good affixes

prolly not as much on sentinel tho. but its all about those affixes

[acoustic thicket]

Ok then i'll show you again them after i get the affixes

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah i guessed they weren't good on sentinel. Still, i was wondering if they were good on other classes like rogue

[desert tree]

They are a good sources of Frenzy Haste for Minions. Forged Weapons could like it

It also has Dot Mitigation, that's pretty rare

But yeah it all comes down to the extra affixes you are going to get

[hexed torrent]

Hi guys, been out of the game awhile. Got a loot filter from maxroll, and it appears to be hiding affix shards and I can't find the rule that's doing it. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

[surreal verge]

Can’t be a filter problem as you can’t ever hide affix shards

Unless you hid all item labels with alt+z

[hexed torrent]

Omg

I forgot you can hide all items with alt Z

whoops, lol

[desert tree]

Now try not to think about the amazing exalted you missed 😏

[hexed torrent]

You monster how could you

😛

[acoustic thicket]

@desert tree @toxic echo is it bad?

[toxic echo]

yeah its not great

no health, no movespeed

no crit avoid. rolled int which doesnt really go with sent or rogue

[acoustic thicket]

yeah i imagined that

[desert tree]

🪦

[devout pivot]

havent played in many months and poe2 has made me realize how much I liked playing LE lmao. anyways, is there any estimate for season 2 release date?

[tranquil flicker]

April 2025, last announced in #news message 🙂

[devout pivot]

thank you!

[honest birch]

Triple exalted*

[novel lotus]

Why can't I load the in-game shop? I've tried closing the game and reopening it, but it's still not working. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

[candid elm]

Hmm, if it's not working in game for some reason you can also look at them here. Just sign in with your Steam Account - I use the Steam app on my phone so I can just scan the QR code with the app. https://portal.lastepoch.com/shop/mtx-all if you click on them you can see the animation.

[novel lotus]

The support packages I have purchased can now be bought again😁

[vernal sail]

I'm having such a hard time understanding how to scale my damage

Can anyone with knowledge of systems try to help me?

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/increased_added_and_more
Is the game-guide version.

[vernal sail]

Thank youu

[tranquil obsidian]

just wondering about the sealing mechanic.... can I potentially seal more than one affix or prefix? Or it's possible to have 1 sealed affix and 1 prefix?

[surreal verge]

There can only be a single sealed affix. (prefix or sufix)

[novel lotus]

I'm experiencing a sync error; does anyone know how to fix it?

[novel lotus]

It's fine now; I've cleared the Steam cache, relogged, and verified the files, and now I'm able to log into the game

[opal bloom]

where can i find rune of removal?

[storm blaze]

anywhere
rng drop

[opal bloom]

oh well

[warm bramble]

quick qauestion, does damage while transformed work with reaper form?

[opal bloom]

should i do dungeons at a low lvl?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[desert tree]

Imo no. Especially if it's your 1st character

[winged musk]

turned out pretty great

[acoustic thicket]

Question, is Sentinel the class I should be looking at if I wanna passive auras on and what not?

[toxic echo]

there really arent 'auras' in the game really. nothing like poe's aura bots and such. there are some skills you can adjust, but its mostly just paladins holy aura in LE

[desert tree]

Sigils of Hope can buff your allies too

Javelin Banner too but that's about it

[stark charm]

Hello, any good soul here that would take a look at my build and help me with how to transition this character to endgame? I am casual player looking for OP build that will make up for my skill issues (I find this game pretty hard). Looking for advice on what uniques to farm for and what other improvements I can do to my gear. Thanks 🙂

[faint cape]

Druid also has some good options for support buffs (summon spriggan and entangling roots), though they are less "generic" than pally's in that they mostly support spell builds.

[fringe oak]

Question for the minion crowd: If I have an affix +n Minion Melee Damage does n add to the minion base damage, or get tagged on at the end?

[candid elm]

this part of the game guide talks about it https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/increased_added_and_more

the flat +damage is described as "added" there and those are totaled first

[quasi girder]

so i have a dilemma

I just beat Gaspar/Harbinger of Fear for the first time and it took me to Shattered Road, but i didn't see the usual pop up to select a blessing

is that a bug or a feature? lol

i just want to know if i have to fight the boss again

cuz it was a pain

[toxic echo]

no, it shoulda popped up the blessing window before going to shattered road. but worst case is you go to the blessing respec person and buy one for a lil gold

if for some weird reason you have to do it again...should just be gaspar

[quasi girder]

oh, i didnt know i could do that

[toxic echo]

the harb shouldnt respawn

[quasi girder]

ty, i'll take a look

yeah its just straight up locked lol, looks like i'll have to kill him again

[candid elm]

Here are the possible normal Blessings from him. You might want to just move onto Empowered, where all the Empowered Blessings are better anyway https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/the-last-ruin/normal/blessings

[quasi girder]

its ok i killed him again and it fixed itself

[novel lotus]

I'm trying to reinstall Steam. I'm experiencing a data sync error again; this has never happened before. It's terrible🤦‍♀️

Ok, it's fine now; hopefully, the issue won't persist

[old kettle]

question is there a pet in this game that collects gold for you? and if I buy a pet does it collect gold for you?

[surreal verge]

No and no

You can't use MTX in offline mode also-

[old kettle]

what is MTX?

[surreal verge]

Cosmetics likes pets and equipment skins

[old kettle]

why can't you use them in offline you bought the cosmetics that's just sad

[silent trench]

hellooo, I was wondering if Firestarter's Torch's passive gets triggered by fire skeletons/mage?

[surreal verge]

The TLDR is "They can't tell if you actually own it or not without connecting to the server"

[surreal verge]

No, it does not have "minion" in it's affixes, so it does not affect minions.
Note that since spreading flames on firestarter is a pure "chance on hit", it can be trigged by ANY hit, even if it's not fire.

[silent trench]

ahhh I see, thank youuu

[silent trench]

hellooo again, does block chance and ward work at the same time or nah?

[desert tree]

Yes

Endurance is the only layer of dmg that doesnt apply to Ward

[silent trench]

cooooool, I picked up this shield called "The Slab" and its really helping me tank through plus the volatile zombie's Vital Ward, I'm just stacking up

[marsh sluice]

Is there a room or a forum thread or something that gathers all the upcoming changes and teasers that for example Mike releases on the dev streams?

[toxic echo]

the last #eterra-monthly had the the previous months teasers

[sleek parcel]

Guys, is there a formula on how much stability is siphoned into the timeline?

[toxic echo]

its mostly random...there is a huge jump if you havent beaten it before on the toon (like 1 will fill the stab bar). other than that its like 150-200 per glyph

[sleek parcel]

man this game gets crazier and more addictive the more I play it lol

[silent trench]

damn right

[desert tree]

For non Empowered it fills the Stability bar up to the boss fight
For Empowered it's as Eagles said 150-200

[coral dagger]

Why wont it let me modify poison per dagger? It's only t1

whoops screwed up the crop a bit but oh well

[desert tree]

You dont have any shard of it

[surreal verge]

You don't have any shards of it.

[ember yarrow]

i am a druid, can i change to beastmaster?

[surreal verge]

No mastery respec, get a new primalist.

[ember yarrow]

Nooo

Alright

I’m trying all the classes anyway

are all classes balanced or are some better than others in terms of dps?

[toxic echo]

most are pretty well balanced as of pretty much everything can do all content

that being said, there are definately some insanely strong and makes the game too easy

there isnt a reason to play the 'meta'

[coral dagger]

Ah damn I thought I didnt need a shard if I was doing glyph of chaos

[marsh sluice]

Thank you

[marsh sluice]

All classes have good skills, some classes have more good skills some have fewer. Your experience will vary depending on if you find the good ones.
But generally you won’t really be able to tell unless you grind more into higher corruption.

[desert tree]

Chaos up the tier and reroll the affix, so you need a shard to be able to up the tier

[coral dagger]

Makes sense, I has just assumed that it would take the shard of the one it swapped into

[cinder hamlet]

Hey haven't played for a while. Are there any builds that stand out for pushing higher and higher corruption?

[wooden lily]

My game is running terrible and stuttering I’m getting 15 fps

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08CS83FSD/
ref=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_NSN7EKRFNG3HF0JJNRDP

Is my laptop not strong enough

Wrong link lol

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTQ61Z6D/ref=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_3D7S6KJAVF2NXEZ2SWVX

[cinder hamlet]

Ppl still playing?

[wooden lily]

I’m just trying to play it and I can’t run it lol

[kind imp]

You probably have your settings too high, or there’s a Power Profile issue with your laptop.

[wooden lily]

Power profile?

Is that the power bar?

[kind imp]

Like, your laptop might be in Low Power mode while trying to run the game. And the game needs your CPU and GPU to use more power to run the game properly

Plug your laptop into the wall and set it to whatever the highest performance mode you have access to in Windows

[wooden lily]

Ok I’ll try it ty

[wheat sigil]

Hello, I've come back after a break. In the current state of the league, is it better to choose the Merchant's Guild or the Circles of Fortune?

[cinder hamlet]

Holy shite steam chart looking terrible. What happened?

[desert tree]

We haven't had a patch since July and the next is in April

So we are hibernating

[cinder hamlet]

Not sure merchant's is worth it considering the player numbers. Fortune is fun, and finding gear yourself feels great in last epoch

[wheat sigil]

That's what I think so. Thanks

[cinder hamlet]

I'm about to hop in again myself. Good luck brother

[wheat sigil]

Thanks, gl too u2

[cinder hamlet]

Any idea what best minion build for high corruption? Is it still golemancer

Or wraith

[candid elm]

that's kind of what just happens with ARPG games with seasonal updates. there's always a surge of players when new content is released, then it drops. if you look at say PoE's chart and set it to a year or three years you can see when each new league started and as the player count dropped after the release.

[desert tree]

I am not sure on Acolyte, probably Wraithlord. Falcon anything is very strong minion too. Scorpion BM can do 600-800 on a shoe string budget

[cinder hamlet]

Im more concerned about the low playercount, was surprisingly low

[candid elm]

Yeah looks like it was around 77k when 1.1 came out. There also just hasn't been an update in awhile, outside of the little cycle reset. Myself and probably a lot of other players finished some or all of the new content and have been playing other stuff until a new update comes out.

I'll be back to play more next update : )

[cinder hamlet]

how did you see on legendaries if they can be gambled or only dropped from specific boss again?

[faint cape]

On LE Tools, if the unique says "random drop", then it can be gotten from rune of ascendancy or soul gambler (or anywhere high enough level)

[vernal sail]

does anyone know if account deletion is instant or does it take a month or so?

[coral dagger]

Is there any reason not to use a harbinger needle whenever you can

[candid elm]

if you wanted to use it in a different timeline for the extra gaze there instead, which would give extra corruption from orobyss when you fought him

[coral dagger]

hmmm

[coral dagger]

So basically ideally use it in whatever timeline I want to get corruption up in

[sonic saddle]

i wouldn't say shoe string but it definitely only needs like 1-2 good slams to get there

[vernal sail]

does anyone know of a place to look for good build guides?

[toxic echo]

maxroll or lastepochtools are the two popular places

[vernal sail]

thanks eagles ❤️

[candid elm]

Yes. With the catch up corruption mechanic, one option is to focus on one timeline and raise the corruption in that. Then the other timelines with a lower corruption will get an extra bonus when you fight orobyss.

But you can use it anywhere. The gaze you get from it is like you've just killed that timeline boss an extra three times and that gaze bonus to corruption when you beat orobyss will be higher.

[coral dagger]

I've only just started doing empowered and killing the harbingers so I figure it'd probably best to do all of them at least once to get empowered boons

[candid elm]

Good idea, even the worst rolled Empowered Blessing is still better than the highest roll regular Blessing.

[tiny helm]

Im having a mana issue on earthquake shaman and i remember seeing a video months ago on a trick that involved swaping into sprigan form then leaving it for mana. Is that all there is to it? or is there a certain passive node involved with the form swapping for mana?

[candid elm]

All of the forms have "Gain 50 mana when transformed back to human" on them by default, so maybe that's what the video was talking about?

[sleek parcel]

Does anyone feel the Harbinger from Spirit of Fire is harder than most others?

[sonic saddle]

that's literally all there is to it.
entering a form sets you to full "rage" which is mana

when you leave it you keep w/e rage amount you are at as mana

as a result you can essentially use spriggan form as a mana return skill similar to how you might with mage's focus or VK volatile reversal

definitely pretty clunky tho

[granite ledge]

i wanna ask question about my dps smite paladin what stats should i focus ? idols is hard to find Smite Idols

and i wanna make my Paladin tanky dps

[feral bear]

is there a way to know if theres a nemesis on the map?

[surreal verge]

Except effectively checking the whole map, not really.

[sonic saddle]

unless you're close enough for it to pop up on the minimap, no

[feral bear]

sad

im playing paladin so im not very fast

are they worth going for?

[surreal verge]

Campaign:debatable
monoliths:Yes.

[feral bear]

cool

[surreal verge]

Note that if you WANTED to be fast as sentinel, shield charge is indeed an option

[feral bear]

im using lunge currently as movement

[ripe carbon]

boss i killed in mono was drunk apparently since he dropped beer?

[surreal verge]

To my knowledge lunge is sentinel’s worse movement option, with it’s only advantage being usable even unspecced

[feral bear]

thats kinda why im using it

every slot is filled rn for my orbital bombardment build

[surreal verge]

Ah, understandable.

[feral bear]

im very happy with this build

[candid elm]

just a fun easter egg potion, rarer drop

[feral bear]

uh guys

i used shield rush on a bridge and now im flying above the map

[faint cape]

Unspecced lunge is really nice, it goes fast. Unspecced shield rush is okay, but janky/buggy, as seen above. lol

[desert tree]

Orbital Bombardment?

[feral bear]

Smite/dmg heal build

Since you can get heal to cast every time you smite

No idea if its actually good but its a good time

[desert tree]

So self cast Smite? Not procc by another way

Nice

With Healing Hands I suppose?

[storm wren]

👋 Enjoy the holiday time!
First time to say goodbye with them and it'll last for two weeks

No Christmas holiday in China though

The holiday of spring festival here is start from Jan. 28th 2025

[storm wren]

AAAAAAA
To slain Aberroth.

First time: Oh no I forget it'll release a strike forward on the ground
Second time: Oh no I don't know where to go so these blue bolts don't hit me
Third time: Oh no I run away from it too slowly then touch the spreading chaos circle

Well, super good at making many silly mistakes still

[edgy sphinx]

Is good?

[storm wren]

Spent 8 eyes but keep making silly mistakes still
Only 2 eyes now

[sonic saddle]

great for leveling but otherwise not incredible.

later game stuff really wants crit and added flat damage

[storm wren]

Alright, the last eye.
Died at don't know where to go to avoid blue bolt again

Too many ground effects on the ground

Please, let me kill Abborreth once time, single time is enough

Alright. Still no good news about Aberroth unfortunely...
Must farm more eyes again.

My reaction speed is sucks. Super sucks... play the best build still can't save my sucks reaction speed

[green yew]

Hi. Looking for a fun to play and cool looking build.
-already played blade dancer rogue and hammer throw paladin before-

[desert tree]

That's 2 very subjective quality you are looking for.
I would propose
Lightning Tornado Werebear

[green yew]

How about a build that has good animations and not completely passive skills? I've seen builds that you just mindlessly spam buttons. I like to feel that pressing each button has an impact

[sonic saddle]

If you weren't looking for aesthetics i'd recommend scorp nova but yeeeeeeah...

God i wish the scorpions visual rework wasn't ass

[desert tree]

I feel like infinite lightning bolts is super cool and not passive at all

You cast tons of Tornadoes and you get a ton of lightning

[sonic saddle]

i think they mean they want reasons to have to think about when to press buttons

in the build

not just "i press this button to make damage happen"

[desert tree]

Oh!

[green yew]

Want a rotation based thing at least. Not a " I see skill available ,i press button". It's the equivalent of spray and pray in fps games imo

[surreal verge]

You could look at runemaster I guess?

[sonic saddle]

er

not really

runemaster generally automates the shit outta things

[surreal verge]

Fair

[sonic saddle]

as i said, scorp nova is what you want but its aesthetics suck

ummm

crowstorm swipe BM i guess?

that's very like scorp nova but with better aesthetics

[green yew]

Do you have a link for it? When i search there is ice crowstorm, melee crowstorm and a lot of other variants

[sonic saddle]

not really, link me what you found and i'll tell you if they're good

hmmm, 2nd one has a bit of misinfo, only shows low corruption content and shows a bad vessel regen setup for his endgame stuff. i wouldn't trust it

[green yew]

[sonic saddle]

tbh neither is kinda the variant i was thinking of unfortunately

[green yew]

There are other builds as well. But they're from version 1.0.5 and earlier

[green yew]

It says it's button intensive. Forget the active part. Is there a build that has good visual with no piano skill spam?

[sonic saddle]

oh sorry

[green yew]

It's all good, i'm the one taking your time asking questions ♥️

[sonic saddle]

ummm, i'd recommend looking at divebomb falconer or some sorc variant? idk what the sorcs are doing these days but there's prolly something flashy in there. best to ask in the class channels specifically.

[green yew]

What class is forgiving for experimenting? Since there is no build, i will make my own

[sonic saddle]

oh all of them, cept maybe sentinel, need to wait for next patch for that one

Can i get link for this one? I'm going to see if i can update it on my own (if needed)

[sonic saddle]

do note that his recommended items have stupid sealed affixes on them that are basically not possible to hit. ignore them. you'll also want to load the build planner and hit the update button on the left hand side cos a few affixes don't exist anymore how they did back then

like the minion affixes on his staff

you also probably want to take one of the more updated build's summon storm crow trees

[green yew]

I'm just going to look at the build for a reference and build a new one. What is something important for endgame? Stat wise

Is crit the way to go?

[sonic saddle]

more damage multi stacks, flat damage, crit,

yeah

[green yew]

Do i focus on single target or aoe?

[sonic saddle]

the focus of the build is around spamming an AoE so you kinda have both sorted in one

[green yew]

Ok. Thanks for info. Time to cook something

[sonic saddle]

oh, also defenses are very important ofc

[desert tree]

I am a bit lost by what you are looking for. Something where you don't spam, not piano but is active?

[proud prawn]

How is that even possible

[green yew]

Build i look for is either
Active build with good visual
Or
Non piano build with high dmg

[sonic saddle]

I think most people would intepret "piano" as kinda spammy, which isn't really true for scorp cos there are things you gotta think about for all the buttons you're pressing

But i realised it isn't what you're actually looking for so i just put it aside

[green yew]

This is what the guide said:
Button intensive, you have a 3 button damage rotation plus fury leap for mobility and minion command key spam when doing maps to keep your scorpion from lagging behind.
The moment i saw key spam it triggered 'piano' in my head

[sonic saddle]

You do spam the minion command key that's true, but it's not really a button that achieves anything in itself

You're just making sure your scorp is where you want to to be when you press the keys that actually do something

And for bosses you kinda just press it once then leave it

[candid ore]

Good morning. I seem to have a weird interaction happening with Eterra's blessing. I have the skill node that gives +45% elemental and poison resistances when I use eterra's blessing. But it seems like when I rapidly cast it, the resistances turn off and on in my character sheet.

Is this just a graphical bug OR does reapplying eterra's blessing cause the resistances to go back to base before being reapplied (thus making it useless if my resistances constantly turn off and on)?
Does anyone know?

[surreal verge]

Reapplying the buff forces the buff to turn off then apply a new instance of the buff

[candid ore]

Ugh, thats what I was afraid of. Thanks for the confirmation

[carmine mortar]

I've always wondered exactly what the Archmage node is tripling with 1000 mana. Is it the % chance to refund 20% of the mana cost or does it refund 60% of the mana cost? Or both?

[surreal verge]

The flat spell damage given and the % chance to refund. (Not the amount)

[ember yarrow]

what is corruption?

[desert tree]

It a difficulty scaler.
Once you have done the campaign you start doing Monoliths. Once you have beaten the last 3 Monos once you will fight your first Harbinger. After that you can go back to all the monos in an Empowered versions. Corruption serve to augment the difficulty of the Empowered Monos

You raise the Corruption by killing Shades of Orobyss

[vapid sonnet]

can anyone tell me how to enter lightless arbor? i have a dungeon key but i haven't unlocked the waypoint yet. i thought i had to go pass corrupted lake and then through titan's rest and titan's hollow

but i'm not sure where the entrance/exits are? my map only shows the rift that leads to a different era

[toxic echo]

if you open your map you can see it. the entrance is in the ruined era

pretty close to the council chambers

[quasi girder]

so i'm lvl 81 not even done with normal monos and i'm being attacked by Harbinger of Ash

bug or feature?

cuz i literally can't beat it, idk what to do

and i'm very frustrated and people are just giving non-answers or talking over me in the in game chat

[surreal verge]

Are you doing your last lv 90 monolith?

If so, this is intended. It is the "gate" to unlock empowered monolith.

[quasi girder]

no, i havent even touched age of winter yet lol

[surreal verge]

Have you unlocked empowered monoliths in other characters before?

[quasi girder]

i have

[surreal verge]

Ah.

Then the harbinger pops up in your FIRST lv 90 monolith instead on the last one on your alt chars.

[quasi girder]

oh ffs

ok well... i guess i'll just go do the other two or respec my passives or something idk

[surreal verge]

Which will still unlock empowered monoliths on killing it, allowing you to skip the other 2 lv 90 monoliths

[quasi girder]

all i know is i'm extremely frustrated and been throwing myself at this boss like 10 times

[surreal verge]

There is also a chance that your build just isn't up to par for it and consequencely empowered as well

[quasi girder]

i'm trying to figure out what to do about my build

kinda wish the server had VC so i could collaborate with someone and share my screen and ask questions

[surreal verge]

LEtools has a build planner you can share to other people if you need build help.

[desert tree]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/

Share your character here or in the proper Class Channel. I am sure someone will be able to help you

[loud anchor]

is the crit chance from world splitter per mana additive or multiplicative?

[surreal verge]

Flat, before increases. (adds to your base 5%)

[whole willow]

Is MG dead or is it still active enough to get the items you need?

[old kettle]

hey guys at what tier do I get to slam my 1lp unstable core in the temporal sanctum?

[surreal verge]

T4

[desert tree]

It dépens on the lvl requirement of the unique

[old kettle]

requirement is 77

is it still tier 4?

[desert tree]

It will show when you select the tier of the dungeon. But if Kzb said t4 I believe them

[surreal verge]

T3 is 75 or below so-

(I checked before answering)

[old kettle]

I might quit cause I don't have anyone to carry me offline lol XD

[storm wren]

XD, come on! You can do that!

T4 Julra is much easier than Aberroth

[hollow flume]

Hey,
I am playing Druid bear build. Why my "maul" is not having the skills from the "fury leap"? I got FL upgraded in the tree. I am playing offline btw.

[surreal verge]

You did get "skill Crusher" in werebear right? It doesn't inherit otherwise.

[hollow flume]

No I didnt 😆 thx mate.

[green yew]

After playing the build, i saw that there is no piano at all, even the minion command has a cooldown for now that i can't spam and even spamming it won't be that hard. I used to play healer or tank in other games where i have to look at my team and boss doing mechanics while spamming 10 skills at the same time.

This build has 5 buttons where one is for movement, 1 is for heal and another has 2 sec cooldown. Spamming 2 buttons is nothing

What's the fastest leveling build?
Is there a way to skip story or make it shorter?

[surreal verge]

To be fair, every build can ONLY have 5 buttons

[green yew]

I asked for builds before character creation since i only remembered that you get locked when choosing class. Didn't remember the amount of skills

[surreal verge]

Ah, that explains it.
You'll be hard pressed to find builds that would spam more than 2 buttons tbh.

[green yew]

Is there a build that has speed or dash? Doing story feels so slow when only 1 skill with medium cd deals dmg

Want to just zoom through the story

[surreal verge]

You'll have to look at rogue for fast builds.

[green yew]

What is the difference between legacy and cycle characters?

I have a rogue leveled but it's in legacy

[surreal verge]

Separate leaderboards (Legacy has no leaderboards) and separate MG market.

[green yew]

So it doesn't matter for offline characters

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[thorn pebble]

Okay I have a question:

Suppose that my minion does 20 physical dmg on a normal hit, with a melee attack that has the physical tag, and 100% added damage efficiency, before any % damage increase.

Now I pump several points into a passive node that gives my minions +10 added necrotic damage, and I equip an axe that gives my minions + 30 melee damage.

Does the minion now do 50 physical and 10 necrotic on that same attack because of the physical tag? Or does it split up the adaptive melee damage into a physical and a necrotic portion?

Ugh, I would've tested this myself if there was a way to see damage types on the dummy

[surreal verge]

Adaptive damage is converted to the skills' damage type, so it'll be 50 physical and 10 necrotic.

[thorn pebble]

Alrighty, thanks kzb

Hey why is it that you respond super quickly when someone asks something, but not when I- nvm, nvm. Thanks!

[oak wolf]

does this look good enough guys? i tried to include as many useful stuff here. it's a strict filter that only shows tier 5 or above affixes

[thorn pebble]

If you're trying to repeatedly slap a rather rare affix onto a piece of gear that has a high tier affix to your liking, you might want to include that as well, to shatter and hoard a bunch of that type of shards

but uhh, not necessarily applicable to everyone

[oak wolf]

i dont even know how to do that yet lol - all i wanted was to get rid of useless thing on the ground that build guide had as "show"

it was getting out of hand with loot and hoarding

basically i looked up all the affixes that the build has on the guide and added them as show tier 5 or above

[thorn pebble]

So let's say you're looking to upgrade your relic, and you rly need more skill points in a key skill, which has a corresponding '+n levels of this skill' affix on relics

[oak wolf]

okay that one i forgot to add. guide shows 21 points for each skill so does that mean it has +1 somewhere in the gear? because i couldnt see it

[thorn pebble]

Instead of hoping for a rare drop, you might want to collect all passable exalted relics, and slap this very affix on them to see which one turns out the best, and in this case, you can additionally show all items that have this specific affix, for shard-collecting purposes

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[thorn pebble]

If it's 21 for everything it's probably a unique somewhere. Omnis maybe?

[oak wolf]

yeah this one

+1 to all skills it has

[thorn pebble]

be prepared for some absolute garbage omnis drops

... unless that's just me

[oak wolf]

ouch.. it'll probably me too. firstly i need to fix my resistences slowly then farm my bow

tried 2 times last night, was unlucky 50% drop chance

Reign of Winter

😭

[thorn pebble]

50% means you'll get a shit load of this item when you don't need it

but won't get crap when you do

[oak wolf]

hahaha so true

[green yew]

Does "+X% poison dmg" on a weapon apply only to my attacks or affect minion as well?

[thorn pebble]

I'm like 99% certain it doesn't apply to minions

otherwise all my builds have been a lie

the affixes on weapons you want, if you're running poison minions, are

minion % dot damage, and shared poison res penetration

tbh poison res pen is the worst of them all, given poison's effect, but oh well, better than notjing ig

[green yew]

When i turn effect description on, it says "your dmg" 🥲

[surreal verge]

Only you. Nothing affect minions unless it says "minion"

[oak wolf]

everytime i finish a monolith, i buy the rune of shatterings. am i doing the correct thing?

or will i need gold later on?

[thorn pebble]

There's a major gold sink later down the line, but feel free to buy those to your heart's content

[oak wolf]

so if i understood correctly, anything i get with Tier 5+ affix, i should shatter unless they are exalted

and i save exalted ones for basis

[thorn pebble]

well, no, I wouldn't say so. The majority of affixes are common enough (in natural shard drops), that you rly don't need to be shattering them

And certainly not all exalted items are worth using as crafting basis, not even on a relatively new character

For example if you're running a build that has absolutely no use for anything other than resistance in a certain blessing slot, and you're not running anything that utilizes uncapped resistance of that sort

then an exalted item with with a t6 suffix of that type of res is just worthless

[oak wolf]

so much to learn

for shattering, rule of thumb is i only shutter the really rare affixes then

and hope that i get the shard

[thorn pebble]

yeah that's a solid starting point

(also if you're sure you will never touch a certain set of playstyles, then just skip affixes that are related to those)

[oak wolf]

so the build uses 6 uniques at Aspirational Gear - then i must focus on a good basis for the other items and save them

[thorn pebble]

wait what's aspirational gear

[oak wolf]

idk it's on the guide

[thorn pebble]

ah okay, looks like it's a goal that one can set to farm towards

in that case, do you know you can slap normal affixes onto unique items?

[oak wolf]

i learned that 3 seconds ago

[thorn pebble]

yeah basically you go to a certain place, bam, magic happens, and out you come with juiced up items

that's all the explanation I'll give

you're welcome

[oak wolf]

ooh i remember something like that from a year ago, it has to do with a point on a unique

and you kill a boss then gamba

[thorn pebble]

yes, pure, unadulterated gambling

one that has broken many a man's heart

[oak wolf]

[candid elm]

Aspirational Gear is the gear that's extremely hard to obtain. It has items with like 3+ LP Legendaries with good rolls, which can take a very long amount of farming to get.

Look at the Starting Gear section and work up from that

[oak wolf]

yessir

[long coral]

So, loot filters are heavily confusing me.. 😄 iom also totally new to LE, but have thousands of hours of similar styled ARPG;

I basically want to see all elemental damage types items aswell as everything ++ing some skills of mine;
or basically everything viable for mage>>sorcerer, looking on lastepochtools i cant find anything really matching for sorcerer unless mostly endgame filters and even then am not sure if i'd miss anything; any helpers?

[storm wren]

Affix -> Which affix do you want, marked -> Select advanced option if you want exact tier -> Select which tier do you want
Items -> Which items do you want, marked
Rarity -> Which rarity do you want, marked

Combine all of them above, that's a loot filter

The core is you know which affix do you want.
Select single item for single or multiple affixes is my logic

Maybe I want +intelligence and + level of xx skill on my hemlet, then I'll set a rule like that:
Affix -> +intelligence/+ level of xx skill, Do I want them separately or go together? Separately -> highlight this item when +intelligence/+ level of xx skill is appeared Go together -> highlight this item when +intelligence + level of xx skill is appeared on the same item
Items -> helmet
Rarity -> Exalted

I use another rule for hiding helmets for another characters.
Then the game only show helmets for mage only.

loot filters for endgame not influence the experience in early game or middle game, you just need to adjust which rarity will be hided

[silk hemlock]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/bladedancer-leveling-guide#changelog-header

this guide asked me to take twilight assault and sword thrower for Umbral Blade. Dont they contradict each other, since twilight assault adds more blade to throw but Sword thrower make it only one blade.

[toxic echo]

no. so normally umbral throwing multiple daggers a throw. sword thrower just means one per throw, instead of multiple

twilight assault means you can have 3 blades out

so you have 3 'casts' until they reutrn

[silk hemlock]

Ah I see, what if I also have Explosive Blade, which makes it so my blades wont return? Will Twilight Assault still benefit me?

[toxic echo]

they dont really return anyways with the spinning

[green yew]

Which faction is better for playing offline?

[coral dagger]

fortune, merchants guild is basically usless if you cant buy stuff from other players

[tame patrol]

Anyone know why I can't add friends? My friends and I just started playing and we're trying to add each other to friend list but it's not working

[hasty coral]

what does flame reave scale with melee damage or spell damage?

[sonic saddle]

if you mouse over it you'll see a tooltip with some tags down the bottom, that will tell you what it scales with

[edgy sphinx]

I always assume "Melee fire dmg" does more for skills like that than anything else, since it contains two tags as opposed to one.

[wooden lily]

Anyone tried this game on a handheld

If so what do you recommend

[old kettle]

man I just wish they removed the decaying barrier on bosses I hate that shit so much 😦

[gleaming grove]

Can I join up @old kettle

[old kettle]

I'm playing offline I have 150+ ping on online so it's sad I don't have this issue with other games but on this game I have sadly

[gleaming grove]

Ok

[sonic saddle]

doesn't matter how many actual tags it fufills

damage type tags apply to 2 things: eligibility for effects that specify a damage type skill (not just increases to a damage type, those occur on any instance of the damage type, whether it came from a attack of that tag or not), and the conversion for adaptive damage

+50 melee fire damage is functionally the same as +50 melee damage if you're using a fire tagged melee attack

[edgy sphinx]

That seems... counter-intuitive. If they're the same, why have both of them?

[thorn pebble]

To restrict where it's applicable ig. If a designer doesn't want to give a nasty 50 added fire dmg boost to spells or ranged attacks on a dedicated melee fire item, he can just write '+50 melee fire dmg' instead of '+50 fire dmg'.

[edgy sphinx]

No, I mean why make the distinction of the added elemental dmg if it doesn't matter? Why not just make it melee dmg instead? That just confused me for months.

melee cold/melee fire/melee lightning/melee void seems redundant if it's just added melee dmg. Just make it all melee dmg and cut out the middle man, so to speak.

[thorn pebble]

In this case it's to restrict its effectiveness I assume. An otherwise untyped +50 melee damage is going to be strong for a large amount of melee builds, but a specific +50 melee fire damage won't do much for a necrotic melee attack, whose multipliers are mostly related to necrotic damage.

[surreal verge]

So you can't double dip for free.

Example: If you give a fire melee skill + 20 melee cold, The fire melee skill will do X fire damage and 20 cold damage. These still scale as usual by % increased melee and % increased X damage type.

[faint cape]

It does matter. Untyped damage (like +X melee damage) matches the skill type(s) it adds to, while typed damage (like +X melee void damage) is the type that it says.
+5 melee damage will be fire on a fire melee attack, but void on a void melee attack.
+5 melee fire damage will be fire on a fire melee attack, and it'll still be fire on a void melee attack.

[olive forge]

how important is critical strike avoidance if i blind everything that is onscreen and some offscreen

[surreal verge]

Important, because realistically you can't blind everything. Unless you can land a blind every frame you move or something.

[olive forge]

okay then
theoretically, how important is critical strike avoidance if it so happens all enemies are blinded

[surreal verge]

Useless, since they can't crit anyway.

[olive forge]

it says it halves their crit chance only

figures i cant blind everything in scenarios like arena n stuff but its just i can drop my avoidance from 94% to 50% and increase my other survivability stats by a significant margin, hence how important the stat is

[desert tree]

No it got changed

Blinded enemies can't crit

[olive forge]

devs forgor skull emoji?

[surreal verge]

Devs forgot.

[surreal verge]

Crit avoid is a less % modifier, so old blind + 50% crit avoid = 1/4 crit chance ( 1.25% by default)

[olive forge]

aye thanks

[long coral]

IDK rn i did

Recolor all Mage specifics to yellow so i can see them just to get the hang off and clicked of some unneeded ailments and stuff

Show all items with atleast 1 of damage type "elemental/lightning/fire/fire pen/dot"
show all items with atleast 1 of "spell damage/cast speed/spell crit"

later i plan to add needed resistances, i have no problem scouring some items but the sheer amount currently is too much 😂

does that sound okay to see only kinda relevant items and see more of the pool without annoying other items? though i still see unwanted items like axes >.> idk all i want is not see stuff i wouldnt care about without beeing too specific, like just say "see wands/mage offhand/elemental damage related stuff/masteries"

for now i just recolored everything red thats relevant so i dont miss anything until response 😄

[pliant kite]

I thought there was a patch that when you died to a boss in Monos you didn't lose stability. But I am having to do a boss, then do an echo to earn enough stability to be able to get a second attempt.
At this point I am considering just not trying to go for Empowered Echoes at all, just staying in normal because the Harbinger is apparently not optional, and the double boss fight is just not worth the effort; but even when attempting it losing stability is something I thought was gone.

[desert tree]

Harbis are optional

When you start the boss fight you can tick or untick the harbinger

@pliant kite

[storm wren]

He maybe think he must kill the harbinger to activate empowered timelines means he must kill harbingers each time after he going to empowered timelines

[pliant kite]

I was reading up, and the forum posts said that the first time you tried to complete the third L90 Boss to unlock there was always a harbinger and you needed to defeat that to unlock empowered timelines.

[surreal verge]

He's probably talking about the gate to empowered.

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[pliant kite]

So the Harbinger is not optional, fine. Empowered Timelines will be something I probably skip.
But I thought they removed the drop in stability, and I am definitely losing stability when being killed by the Harbinger.

[surreal verge]

They did not, just lowered the amount of lost supposedly.

[pliant kite]

So much gatekeeping in the design of this game, I forgot just how bad it was.

[surreal verge]

To be fair, if you can't beat a base harbinger, you'll die very quickly in empowered.

[thorn pebble]

Gasp Kzb is gatekeeping !!!1!!

[pliant kite]

It's not just that though.
CoF starts requiring 100+ corruption for most of the prophecies before you have unlocked empowered, most of the prophecies I am being offered require over 200 corruption and I am still in normal. I hadn't even completed my second normal timeline when most of them were requiring 100+, so the prophecies gatekeep really early.
There are other things as well. I really love the campaign and through the normal timelines, this game is great for those. But very rapidly the design just assumes you are at a certain level and locks entire aspects of the game away forcing you to not be able to play the way you want.

[surreal verge]

The high corruption prophecies are random and I think starts coming up after a certain faction rank.

There's also a lens that blocks high corruption prophecies, if you have access to those.

You'll eventually have to get to empowered because they're all area level 100 (Which gives any possible random drop) and they also gives access to empowered blessings, which at min roll, is equal or better than the max roll of a normal blessing.

Devs also try to balance around 300 corruption, where 100 is the baseline for empowered.

[thorn pebble]

oh yeah you gotta grab those juicy blessings no matter what

[pliant kite]

I will have a look sometime.
And this will probably be like I was told would happen by the people who recommended the game. Who told me "Play the game, enjoy the campaign, but get used to giving up at that point, the game is really only for a very limited audience after that." I was hoping they were wrong,.

Thanks for the help, not really intereted in a double boss fight, so I might just do some more normals and move onto something else.
I keep coming back because I remember how much fun the game is, and forgetting how terrible the game is around Lvl 80-85.

[thorn pebble]

Bremster we need to bond together and blame kzb for cultivating this kind of gatekeeping atmosphere

[pliant kite]

What? It's not Kzb, it's the game design. Kzb has been very helpful.

[thorn pebble]

Damn my attempt has been foiled

[pliant kite]

Sorry, a little too lost right now to get jokes 😄

[thorn pebble]

[storm wren]

I had thought empowered timelines requires my character's level higher to challenge before so I even increase corruption in normal timelines to 16

The twist I walked

But it's a good point to be mentioned in my introduction this week, thanks

[desert tree]

This is not true. You may have made some mistakes in your build and/or be under geared. But base empowered is smth achievable by every body.
Killing Abberoth (the pinnacle boss) or t4 Dungeon Bosses or getting to 500+ Corruption? Sure that requires a lot of investment. But the first Harbi and running 100c is within reach of everyone.

[storm wren]

T4 dungeon boss required 320+ corruption only ⬆️

But I still can't kill Aberroth even my build can go 700+ corruption 🤣 100% Personal issue

[thorn pebble]

Ay yo I'm lowkey pumped to gear towards Aberroth. The reason I quit scorpion last year was cuz scorpion just had so little room for item improvement. Now with abomination everything feels different. 😭 There's actually something realistic to work towards.

[pliant kite]

As an older gamer I have no goal to even get to 300, even with a uber powered build from a guide. I know my refelexes wont be up for it.
I will have to see how much more grinding I need to do in normal to be able to re-attempt unlocking Empowered, though it's probably not worth it from what you are all saying.

[grand shoal]

Too old for empowered? 🙂 kk ^^

I've seen some gamers in the 60s and 70s that would not call themselves too old for that. So guess we are speaking about 80+? 😄

[pliant kite]

I am in my mid 50s, and I normally do okay at a lot of games. My reflexes and eyesight aren't perfect, and generally with "twitch response" fights I do really badly. But I can't just repeat the boss over and over to practice is, because if you fail you can't go right back in easily because you get kicked out and need to grind more stability to go back in.
So in order to attempt it I will have to grind a hundred or so extra stability to push it on.
People at different ages have different issues.

[old kettle]

is lightning blast still viable in this game?

I'm looking to do it on my sorc

changing builds cause glacier is dog poop atm

[grand shoal]

We are much closer in age then you may think. No offense, but I think it may just not be a game suiting for you. It may be taste, genre or whatever, but be sure it is not about age in your case.

And please don't get me wrong. If you like a game, or not, is mostly just about personal preference, isn't it? There's a ton of AAA titles I'd never touched, or I tested some, that I didn't like. That does not make that games bad by any term, they were just not my taste.

[pliant kite]

I love the game, the play style, the graphics, the builds, the music. I just can't get past the Harbinger without my hands cramping so far.
I will try with pain killers or something.

[grand shoal]

Probably you should have a look, if people of the according chat of your class can help you to polish your build a bit then.

The char can be as important as your personal skills in a boss fight

[pliant kite]

I will get there, remember my initial question was about Stability loss, and the fact I thought they had removed it.

[old kettle]

oops wrong reply

also I still hate the decaying barrier on bosses its stupid

[storm wren]

D4 will more simple for you to enjoy the fun I guess

[desert tree]

It's not perfect but it's a million times better than the previous system

[old kettle]

nope don't like it at all

ligtning blast is dead in this game

[grand shoal]

So the hidden mechanic, that could even disable leech for some builds, was better? 🤨

[old kettle]

I meant the barrier decaying on bosses with this comment not the lightning blast

I just type too fast

[grand shoal]

You took reference to what Vlad said, and replied with "nope..."

[old kettle]

there fixed it

sorry about that

[grand shoal]

I was not speaking about Lighning Blast at all. I spoke about the same thing as you and Vlad

I never used LB as main skill so I stay away from every comment on that. Only see that you also called Glacier "dog poop" above, what makes me wonder a bit. Glacier is an OP skill that can carry builds in a few thousand corr from what I've read and seen

But indeed never seen a LB build, so it may be one of the skills that are really not good as main skill

[old kettle]

sadge

[desert tree]

In 1.0 Lightning was doing 2k+ Corruption. I know we got harbingers now but still it should perform alright

On Runemaster and on Sorc

[naive pike]

What are the 'rules' for multiplayer? Like how does dying work in echoes and how does gifting things work again? How does progression work?

[candid elm]

Echo multiplayer: The party leader gets the selected reward type. The party members get a choice between two random echo reward types. Example, party leader picks Bows echo reward. Party members get two random choices, maybe it's Helmets or Swords or whatever. They did this so if the Rogue party leader is hunting for items your Mage character doesn't care about, maybe you'll get something you want from the two random choices.

If you die in a multiplayer echo, you can rejoin the echo, but you don't get the echo reward after it's cleared. Similar to how if you die when doing an echo the reward is gone when you repeat the echo to clear it.

For gifting: if you're in the same area while grouped and an item drops, you can use the gifting menu to give items to party members.

If you're not in the same area or if you're not grouped when an item drops you wanted to gift, you can use resonance to gift items to people you've played with once you've gotten some resonance drops. This article on Maxroll goes into resonance and gifting https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/resonance

Multiplayer monolith progression: everyone has their own echo webs & corruption and just the party leader's is used. If you want to progress everyone's corruption / echo webs, then trade off party leader. If you defeat a monolith boss while grouped, everyone gets the next monolith unlock(s) from it, regardless of party member stability. The party leader gets a little list showing everyone's stability before the boss fight and if a party member doesn't have enough stability for the boss fight, they CAN still go into the boss fight and still get the next monolith unlock(s) but they won't get the boss reward drops or blessing unless they had enough stability.

This linked post goes into some more details. Top part is quest echoes and second part is harbingers and forgotten knights https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230500329301475350

[pale bobcat]

they ever buff poision yet?

[candid elm]

Ran out of characters to add more to that previous message. Just wanted to note that everyone gets their own separate loot drops. Including boss drops.

[candid elm]

I don't think it's been changed since it was nerfed back towards the end of beta

[naive pike]

Very comprehensive. So does this mean only the party leader gets stability?

Also what about campaign progress in groups? And can you join timelines you yourself have not yet unlocked?

[surreal verge]

Untouched.

[candid elm]

Everyone gets stability and the party leader needs to have enough to start the boss fight. But if a party member didn't have enough for the boss fight, they can still get the next monolith unlock, just no boss reward or blessing without enough stability. if you've all been playing together it's not really an issue.

[naive pike]

So in short, there is still an incentive to not die. And the penalty for wanting to follow one leader the whole time is manageable since you still get important unlocks.

[candid elm]

Yes to campaign. Just try to also help party members get some waypoints if you're skipping them through the campaign. Yes to monoliths. I believe you can also get the unlocks still.

[naive pike]

The only penalty might come if you also want to solo on the side.

But even then, it just seems you need to play more if you solo.

It's not like you have to go back to square one.

I assume corruption is for the leader only?

[candid elm]

Yeah if you wanted to push corruption solo or you want to be party leader and you've a been party member the whole time, then you won't have any corruption. So you may want to trade off leader if say you and your friend both want to raise a monolith corruption

[candid elm]

Yes, echo web progress and corruption is the party leader's

Theirs is used and theirs increases

[naive pike]

But I assume you can still progress the harbinger quest when you meet the objectives in another guy's echo?

[candid elm]

Yeah as long as the party member has met the requirements. The bottom part of this post goes into it https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230500329301475350

[naive pike]

Ty

[candid elm]

We occasionally get people in here where a friend boosted them straight into monoliths but didn't help them out with any campaign waypoints. So do at least give them the ones for like the Chapter 9 item factions and the main towns in some of the earlier Chapters so they can go back and get the Idol and Passive point unlocks later

[naive pike]

So how do you warp someone over? Is there a warp to friend function?

I just realized I do have access to the factions so I could get them an early start on grinding faction exp?

[candid elm]

You can click on their picture on the left to warp to them

Brings up a little menu

[naive pike]

I see, so I can use that to let them warp to a faction hq.

Or to key locations if they want to skip campaign.

Does that mean I can also warp them to the end of time to get their mastery?

[candid elm]

Probably. On your first character in a game mode you need to get to Chapter 9 to access them. But on subsequent characters in the same game mode the item faction people are at the first town in Chapter 1 to make it easy to get an item faction going and be able to use items your other character found. You do need enough of the item faction rep to equip. Can even do different factions if you want, just can't share item faction required items between your characters then

[candid elm]

Yes. You could go straight in monoliths as well. They might just die a lot

[naive pike]

Although now that I think about it, I don't have that at all. I forgot my character fell into legacy when they did that soft reboot a few months ago.

Is there any exp penalty for having higher leveled dudes with you?

[surreal verge]

Other than the normal penalty of "Mobs that are 11 levels or higher than you are treated as only 10 levels higher than you for XP", no.

[candid elm]

You earn XP as if you are in an area level up to your character level + 10. Example, if you're 75 in an area level 90, then you're earning XP as if you were in a 75 + 10 = area level 85

So if you drag a level 1 character into the first monolith, which is area level 58, then they'd earn XP as if they were in an area level 11

[naive pike]

There's still merit to leveling in monolith right? What with mob density and all?

Also the exp would be consistent as they level, rather than flooring as you get closer to the mob's level?

[candid elm]

Up to y'all, however you want to play. Probably faster, but they'd also need to go back and get the passive and idol unlocks. Although I think a lot of us already do that anyways when leveling solo, at least I do

[naive pike]

I kinda enjoy going through campaign at my own pace rather than stress about having a broken build just to survive monolith.

I have a decent route too that ignores most side areas.

[candid elm]

It's always pretty consistent. Even in monoliths when you start going into higher area levels than your character level

It just takes a long time for the last 5-10 or so levels, especially after the XP requirements were raised

[naive pike]

Yeah but in campaign you tend to be only 2 levels under or sometimes even several levels over.

[faint cape]

Yes, it reduces the potential +10 levels mentioned by the others by the same amount of levels the highest-level player is above them. If you drag a level 1 player into monoliths and you're over level 11, they earn xp as if they are in a level 1 zone.

If you were level 3, they'd earn xp like they were in a level 9 zone and you'd earn xp like a level 13 zone

[candid elm]

Thanks Toast, I didn't realize there was a further restriction on it

[tame patrol]

Hello, I have a question. I'm level 55 but my friends just started playing, is there a way for me to boost them up to play with me? Or do they just have to do the story to get there

[desert tree]

They will have to go through the story (or a least part of it)
You could carry them through some dongeons so they can unlock Divine Era and the Factions.
You can have them follow where ever you are so they can leech some xp (look above to learn about the +10 lvl limit about xp'

[tame patrol]

So there’s no way to actually boost them up properly?

Like they’re level 20 right now and I remember the story taking me a long time to complete, so was just kinda hoping I could help them get higher faster to farm monoliths

[faint cape]

I discourage boosting people who are totally new to the game, it's probably better in the long run (and more fun for them in the short run) to make a new character to level up alongside them so they can learn the game; the campaign is basically the tutorial.
It is possible, however, to jump them through the campaign and get them levels faster since they can teleport to you no matter where you are. The highlights are Maj'elka for instant item faction pick, then End of Time for instant mastery pick + unlock the monolith. They'll also need to unlock their idol slots and get their extra passive points from quests that you can speed them through if you know how.

[thorn pebble]

Not in the sense of Diablo 2 Sorc's Enchant Turbo Giga boosting, no. But yeah a bunch of time saves like Toast is saying.

[faint cape]

There is also a penalty to xp for players under level 50 in the monolith that I forgot about, but even with that penalty and the effective level for xp being capped, they will still level up significantly faster in the monolith due to kill time and mob density.

[tame patrol]

I see, thank you

[naive pike]

Once I equipped a bleeding heart and went ignite warpath I could handle monolith even by myself. So weird.

[gleaming grove]

Anybody wanna play

[umbral talon]

Hi I am new to this game. I am following a guide for first play through

I tried the sanctum however I lost at the boss at final area

Do I need to do it again for me to be able to enter the city with final act 9 quest?

[faint cape]

You can get to act 9 normally by playing the campaign. I'm not sure why a first playthrough guide would have you doing any dungeons at all, but if you do use dungeons like Sanctum to skip parts of the campaign, yes you need to successfully defeat the boss.

[naive pike]

I guess the power of CoF gets multiplied if I play with friends?

Or are faction items not giftable?

[faint cape]

Kinda, yes. All equippable items are giftable if dropped while playing together or by using the super rare resonances.

[naive pike]

Some guides are very adamant about skipping Lagon for some reason.

[faint cape]

That's really weird, Julra is way harder than Lagon and way less accessible

Personally, I do the campaign up to Oracle's Abode and then hit monos until I get a key and run Julra then act 9... I think it's a solid way to go, but I'd never recommend it to someone that is new to the game

[candid elm]

I also did it that way for the 1.1 cycle and it was pretty smooth. if you're doing the oracle's abode into monoliths, you can get your last unlocks in chapter 9. for the 1.0 cycle i had gone up to chapter 7 instead, which get all the unlocks before monoliths.

[plain lagoon]

whats the meta class for last epoch at the moment?

[faint cape]

Yeah, exactly - I kinda like the Oracle Abode way since it naturally gets you the +1 all attributes. I feel like if I go the chapter 7 to monos route, I end up feeling obligated to complete chapter 9 eventually anyway for completion's sake. 😂

[faint cape]

Probably falconer. But warlock, sorcerer, necromancer, and certainly some others are all high up there in "easy to get a lot of power".

[dawn aspen]

Should I use shards during the campaign?

I have like 700 of them

[storm blaze]

Yeah
No reason not to craft

[naive pike]

You've been sitting on those for so long lol. You can use them the moment you get them, you'll always get more.

[plain lagoon]

thanks for reply

[swift birch]

Hello 🙂 Can anyone tell me how monolith rewards work in multiplayer now? I'm pretty sure at launch it only gave the rewards to the party leader. Has this been fixed since?

[faint cape]

It works the same as it always has, the person that opens the echo gets the reward on that echo. Each other player gets to pick one of two randomly rolled echo rewards.

[swift birch]

So everyone gets rewards? I didnt play multiplayer at launch and just jumped back with a friend, I just read some reddit posts so thought I'd come check.

[faint cape]

Yeah, everyone gets a reward. Only thing that is a little wonky currently (imo) for groups is corruption, which isn't able to be gained as a group, but it's not as bad as it used to be since everyone does get Gazes and needle drops.

[swift birch]

Okay that is fine I guess... We can probably work around that. I just dont want to do stuff and only one person gets rewards. That feels bad

[grand shoal]

As you can share your drops in party, you even have a slight advantage to solo players

[sonic saddle]

wouldn't even say slight

[grand shoal]

In theroy the advantage is crazy. But if you add all the time, that you loose for MP-bugs (there's a ton of them) and the time you loose for party stuff (pee breaks, getting drinks/strech, what do we gonna do, need to dump some stuff and so on) you will always end up with less playing time in MP.
It is not MMO-like time sink, but im the end it takes away some of the advantage that you have because you can share everything.
Plus you need many stuff for all players in party.

I played really a lot MP and also played quite some solo - and the advantage feels slight to me. But yeah, my best chars always had a few pieces where my buddy helped me out

[magic pendant]

yo guys im in middle of creating sentinel class. I'm trying to pick best sub class for me but i have one question for those who has exp in this class.
Can paladin played as damage/tank character instead as support ?

[surreal verge]

What's a support class? LE doesn't have a true support class.

[magic pendant]

i mean it says support class as you heal others etc

[surreal verge]

You can heal yourself you know-
But yes, most paladins focus on being damage dealers, with support being secondary/a bonus, as their buffs affect themselves and their party.

[magic pendant]

yeah i know but if it is heavily based as support i would not pick it.

[surreal verge]

No, there's no such class in LE that's leans into support, This game treats solo play first multiplayer second.

[magic pendant]

oh good, very good.

thanks for info

i will pick paladin then, that is what i wanted in the first place anyway.

[surreal verge]

Most likely you'll still wound up using paladin's two "support buff" skills because they're so good even solo.

[magic pendant]

hmm, it is fun i hope.

[long coral]

So im wondering,
this says also in item comparison +70% critical strike chance

in the character stats it barely increases it though
what do i miss here for the calculation to understand that?:D is it 70% to my concurrent critical strike chance? cause im overall going from 9% -> 13%
(low level item so maybe irrelevant but still helps me understand attribute system here)

[storm blaze]

It's 70% to your base

[surreal verge]

This is Increased, which is based of your flat crit chance.
So :
5% base crit chance x (100% + % increases [70%])

Which would make it 8.5%

[naive pike]

How many players can play together?

[surreal verge]

4

[naive pike]

And I just wanna reconfirm, can faction items be gifted?

Do players get their own selection of items from a nemesis?

[desert tree]

Yes, though you can only equip them if you meet the faction requirements

[desert tree]

I believe so

But you get your own Nemesis each

[naive pike]

So if you're playing with a friend you get to fight two of them?

I assume not at the same time.

[red mortar]

Hello , anyone know if bone curse are considered as my hits so it could apply frailty if i have chance to apply it on gear ?

[toxic echo]

yeah. when mike are partying with wick, they each had their own nemesis

[desert tree]

I believe you get more Nemesis but you can only interact with "your own". You will maybe find 4 Nemesis but each player will be able to interact with one

[naive pike]

Yeah but I assume that if you choose to fight one it just makes the party fight that one.

And then you can fight another one or not, depending on the choice.

[surreal verge]

Bone curse's extra damage isn't considered a hit.

[red mortar]

ok thanks 🙂

[uneven moth]

second time fix the game

[candid elm]

#1210281911872786482

[naive pike]

We're the community, we can't fix the game lol.

[faint cape]

Technically 🤓
It is a hit and does trigger most on-hit effects, but it can't apply ailments on hit

[storm wren]

Time to wear the Santa hat

[indigo ledge]

Any idea of when 1.2 releases?

[surreal verge]

April 2025

[candid elm]

To add onto what Kzb said

Last Epoch Season 2 launches April of 2025
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/season-2-and-beyond-closer-look/74516
That post has more details on what's upcoming

somewhat recently they decided to drop the name Cycles and use Seasons instead

[coral dagger]

Man, I'm plateuing at about 180 corruption and t3 dungeons. I've gotten all but 1 of the uniques I need for the build, most of which have at least decent slams and have some decent exalted pieces for the other slots. I only have like 3 levels left so I'm not gonna get a big surv spike from leveling or anything. Feels like 90% of the exalted items I get are weapons, which I dont really need much anymore even if they were the right weapon type. I assume there's nothing I can do besides just continue to farm at ~175c and hope for better drops but its killing my momentum

[toxic echo]

i mean, yeah, farm to get better gear, thats the entire point behind arpgs. but its pretty hard to tell ya what you might want to look for without seeing the actual build.

[coral dagger]

I just wish weapons took up less of the exalted pool

I guess I can just focus on doing prophecies for a while or something

Is there any better way to target farm nonuniques?

[candid elm]

Not really. You can look for the Echo rewards for X item type, those can sometimes cough up Exalted items as well

[toxic echo]

certain dungeon days have exalted drops for non weapons as well

[candid elm]

good suggestion Eagles! you can check what the daily modifiers are for the dungeons here https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons and then select a dungeon -> modifiers to see a list.
for example lightless arbor today is initially more exalted rings. https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/lightless-arbor/tier4/modifiers and then there's additional modifiers you select each floor for more stuff. the initial one changes daily for each dungeon.

[thorn pebble]

@coral dagger Beware that if you're looking for something specifc from a dungeon, turbo farming it might ruin that dungeon forever

I for example would rather just uninstall the game than return to lightless arbor again after not getting that shield with a mountain in its name 23 runs in a row

[naive pike]

If you get a prophecy that drops a unique if you kill the boss, does it use that boss' loot table?

[toxic echo]

no

prophecies are basicly global drop pools

just like echo rewards n such

[naive pike]

So the only way to get a boss drop is to keep doing the boss.

[toxic echo]

yup

[astral wadi]

in the lost temple in the ruined era, i came across two destroyed golem-type things in the ne and nw corner with speech bubbles. touching them took me to an ancient temple, but i couldn't do anything there? Am I missing something?

[faint cape]

It's part of the main quest. During the quest, you just touch the little crystal or whatever in there in one of the zones and then leave, it lets you open the bridge near that zone's waypoint.

[astral wadi]

i see thank you

[supple linden]

Exalted echos and cof are what I do though really you might just be coming up to the ceiling on your build too if you're pretty kited out already. Not all builds are equal, might be time to roll another spec or roll another class based off a fun looking unique you have. The last chunk of building out a character can burn you out. I find it more fun to try out other classes or specs when I start hitting that wall.

[coral dagger]

It can def get to at least 300 but I think part of it is gear and part of it is skill

or a combo thereof

[astral wadi]

I got a quest telling me to go to the forge in the outcast camp and use it. clicking the forge ends the quest, but nothing happens?

[fresh gazelle]

Press F.

F is the crafting menu and it serves the idential purpose, but you can do it anywhere.

[astral wadi]

ah okay thank you

[coral dagger]

Oh actually I forgot there is a bug with this build that affects this build pretty heavily

Speccing flame rush to cast volcanic orb along side the rush causes that auto-casted orb to shoot all the shrapnel straight up in the air (literally straight up, not north, it wont hit anything) so it does way less damage, which subsiquently means I have to manually cast orb a lot more often which leaves me much more vulnerable

and unfortionatly this has been known/happening for at least 7 months or so, so not likely to get fixed anytime soon

[barren river]

Is sentinel still good or is rogue better

[surreal verge]

Meta wise? Nothing is beating falconer.

But in general? All classes work iirc.

[barren river]

What's the endgame difference gameplay wise

[surreal verge]

Falconer can clear a screen with a single button at a 2-3 second cooldown, and can effectively delete bosses. Can hit 1k corruption with minimal effort.

[barren river]

Last time I played I think paladin was meta so ill try rogue

[surreal verge]

Paladin is still meta for sentinel.

[barren river]

Makes sense

Smite knows no bounds

I'll look at gameplay tomorrow

[deft dune]

Has anyone else experience dthe bug where if you drop items on the ground in The Bazaar they can't be interacted with? They're permanently hidden on your loot filter?

Like I can see hte item on the ground, I've disabled the loot filter, and they still don't show up.

see those items on the ground? see how there's no loot filter on?

can't interact w/ them

[surreal verge]

Did you fatfinger alt+z?

[deft dune]

I don't think so? What would that even do?

[surreal verge]

Hides all item drops.

[deft dune]

I apparently did fat-finger alt-x

which is what that was set to

I have removed that key from my keybinds

you're a lifesaver

well, actually you're an expensive ring saver but, you know

[split blade]

When will my cycle characters and stash get moved to legacy?

[surreal verge]

When the next cycle starts, around April 2025

[coral dagger]

Do prophs that say soulfire t2 work on t3 as well?
