Offline mode? That is a known bug the team are working on!

[frigid badge]

Thank you ❤️ Its killed me several times haha

[robust kelp]

Is this a bug or is it just the first time that I've ever seen a queue in this game and it's also bugged text showing #0 in queue?

[icy drift]

Yeah something is probably amiss, did you get in or is it still stuck?

[robust kelp]

still stuck lmao

Restarting to see if that changes anything

[icy drift]

Try to quit out and verify the integrity of your files, seems a bit silly but fixes a shocking amount of issues

[robust kelp]

makes sense

[icy drift]

Also are you using a VPN or something? Those can cause some connectivity hiccups

[robust kelp]

Nope, restarting the game fixed it 🤷‍♀️

Gonna go check my files anyways, maybe that will fix all of the performance issues :')

[icy drift]

Nice ^^

[harsh ravine]

Is there a key to see FPS or is that only viewable via Steam ?

[toxic echo]

I launched the game to check that 15 min ago

I end up playing instead

[toxic echo]

Oops

Game is too good

I want to not play until April

[wide sentinel]

I havent played since 2weeks into 1.1

💀

[lean locust]

I have this well

Did you fix it?

[icy drift]

they just restarted it seems

[rancid magnet]

Hey guys so since am following the maxroll guide should I switch to lvl 26 tab after I reach lvl 26 or stick with lvl 25 tab

Am playing marksman

[swift sapphire]

is there any planner for a leveling falconer balista?

[prime patio]

Does cooldown recovery speed work on item abilities, such as this one?

[surreal verge]

No, only skills. Doesn’t work on subskills either

[prime patio]

Subskills meaning skills granted by items?

Or what are subskills?

[desert tree]

Cdrs only work with skill you can put on your bar

Subskills are "small" skills that are inside skill trees

Like Fissure in Smite

[rancid magnet]

Would you guys suggest I follow lvl 26 tab after I get to lvl 26 or no

[grand shoal]

What is a lvl 26 tab?

[rancid magnet]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/marksman-leveling-guide

[grand shoal]

Ah I see.

Opposite to many people here, I think guides can help to understand builds/games better.
But a guide, for leveling, that goes that deep makes no sense to me.
Imo it doesen't matter at all. Try around while leveling amd see what works and what not, and what you like and what not.

I would just take such guides as basic inspiration

[storm wren]

I still don't see the question

[grand shoal]

?

[storm wren]

If you mean that, it's lv 26- lv 40, but you're lv 26 only, so where the question come from

I don't understand what you mean by "Would you guys suggest I follow lvl 26 tab after I get to lvl 26 or no"

[grand shoal]

They uses this guide for leveling, is 25 (or just got 26) and asks if they shall switch from green to red

[storm wren]

My understanding is if I'm lv 26, and I'm following this guide, I'll switch to the next tab (26-40) automatically, so I'm confused what he worried about

[grand shoal]

But you realize yourself, that your understanding isn't always the best? 🙂

[storm wren]

exactly

[rancid magnet]

well lvl 26 to 40 changes gear compeltly

wit hstats

to

and aleardy kind of did soem stat upgrades with runes on lv 10 to 25 build

at lv l26 have t olook for different stats'

[storm wren]

sorry... what's rune?

[harsh ravine]

If you change factions (to Merchants Guild for example) do you retain the rank you earned up to that point or is it lost and you would need to do it all over again (I'm assume you retain but want t ocheck before I make a switch)

[surreal verge]

YOu retain ranks, but you lose all favor.

[cedar locust]

You should also unequip any gear tagged to the faction you're leaving.

[wicked fog]

which faction is best to go with these days?

[faint cape]

Since we are very late in the cycle, I wouldn't recommend the trade one. But generally it's a playstyle choice.

[harsh ravine]

If you have maxxed out tanks does favour mean anything at that point ?

[surreal verge]

You spend favor to buy prophecies/buy stuff from the market, you know, faction currency.

[harsh ravine]

Thxs for the tip. Was not aware that was a thing. How do I know something is tagged - is that the rank I see on some item drops ?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

Eg: For MG, anything you buy from the marketplace has a MG tag and faction rank requirement on it.

[harsh ravine]

Oh … that makes sense - both what it is and why you would lose it

[cedar locust]

The tooltip will have the icon in the lower right, you wont be able to leave the faction with it equipped or re-equip it while in the other faction 🙂

[storm wren]

Example:

👀 Remember all of these relationships is a time-consuming thing

[toxic echo]

nah. i've been doing it in pokemon for 30 years.

[storm wren]

抵抗 = be resisted to 克制/被克 = more damage to

indeed. As similar as this gameplay

So cool, we have played similar gameplay system even we have played different games

[lapis geyser]

hi, I just started playing the game recently, what is the difference between melee damage and melee physical damage?

[storm wren]

😆 🤭 😂 Classic question for le

[storm wren]

melee damage includes melee physical damage, but physical damage isn't melee damage only, it can be spell physical damage too.

[lapis geyser]

thanks

[surreal verge]

Melee damage is adaptive and will follow the skill's damage type.
Melee physical damage is melee and physical typed damage.
Physical is not tied to melee.

[lapis geyser]

I'll stick to melee damage then

[wide sentinel]

apex of bad design 😡 +10 mana cost, 2 seconds channeling just to apply 1 ignite per second to enemy

and you need 3 of these to get to it, so another whooping 30-60% to apply 1 armor shred stack after channeling

meanwhile shield rush applies around 250-350 ignite stacks in 3 seconds, depending on your gear

[faint cape]

But that's like 6 whole ignites! With that chance to shred some armor, you're practically unstoppable

[sonic saddle]

it's funny cos most of those effects are like, complete hot garbage....

and then for scorp nova it's actually not bad

cos giving your scorpion +1 poison per nova is a like ~6% overall dps improvement

[wide sentinel]

[brave path]

havent played in a little...getting hit with a perpetual "Connecting" on log in...anyone else dealing with this?

[mossy shadow]

im experiencing queue when loggin in. might be normal.

but now even experiencing lag spike when im summoning a neme and exalted mage. Like when i click on them, I get like sudden frame drop/lag than the neme / exalted mage get the first hit on me coz im standing in place like a dummy

[heady swan]

I was just about to ask if anyone else experiences a brief stutter when pressing Tab to return map from large view to small, and if there is a fix.

[mossy shadow]

^me, but i got used to it. xD

what im experiencing now with the stutter with exalted mage & neme is new to me.

[desert tree]

For a second I thought that was teasers for 1.2...

I was very disappointed

[dusky kite]

it's a teaser for 1.5

[mossy shadow]

and how long will season 5 comes out? xD

[wide sentinel]

i stg if that node will be the same in 1.2 im gonna lose my marbles 😭

both of those nodes are crimes against sentinel(humanity)

[dusky kite]

2226

[dusky kite]

Lol man we both know that all older trees are full of such nodes

[zenith tinsel]

can we reset harbinger progress?

or is it get reset after defeating abberoth

[surreal verge]

No.

[grand shoal]

Play HC and you can reset it on death

Just joking about a bug btw ^^

[static lotus]

Trying to learn what is strong and what is not in LE, Maxxroll last update is last July, what ressources are more up to date ?

[desert tree]

Maxroll is pretty up to date because nothing has changed sinceJuly and not much since February (balance wise)

[mossy shadow]

Welcome to Last Epoch, good time to learn the game until season 2 comes out

[heady swan]

Function over form in ARPGs. I quit. I can't stand this stutter lag when switching map types. Guess it's back to Grim Dawn or something.. Maybe I'll cave and buy diablo 2 again.. I miss good ARPGs. Maybe PoE1 tainted me lol it was so good for so long and now it's broken, and 2's endgame is legit the opposite of fun.

[harsh ravine]

Besides maxroll.gg you might want to look at LETools site. This has a number of resources that will come in handy.

[fiery rapids]

How do I see how much base stat I have of something? Say for example I have a bow that gives ''+5 bow lightning dmg''. Where do I see that base value?

in the character sheet I can only see increased lightning dmg

[desert tree]

I don't think it's shown in game

But https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/
Will show it

[surreal verge]

Not shown in sheet

[fiery rapids]

will it maybe be implemented in future updates?

[surreal verge]

They're going to rework the character sheet, so maybe.

[desert tree]

Character sheet is planned to be updated, but it's been at least 3 years now

[grim agate]

hey all, anyone can help me understanding a filter?

[harsh ravine]

Could you be a bit more vague about what it is you need to understand about filters 🤔

[grim agate]

i downloaded a filter for fire mage from lastepochtools, but looking inside it filter out fire affixes, and instead filter in lightning affix

is it right or im missing something?

[harsh ravine]

How would anyone know if you don't post the filter you are referring to ...

[harsh ravine]

That's the build, not the filter file

[surreal verge]

Did you use the filter wizard? That doesn't work that well when the build has legendaries.

[grim agate]

i started recently, i dont know anything tbh

im just trying to understand if its right that the filter is filtering in lightning affix and not fire affix

[surreal verge]

it can't filter for a wand because you're using a unique in that slot, so no, it's wrong. Get a proper filter.

[woeful pasture]

I was playing Merchant's Guild till now and I was trying to leave it to join COF but when I hit leave button it says I have to unequip faction items first.. does this mean I have to first find items to replace the ones I am wearing with MC logo on to leave ? 😦

[harsh ravine]

Yes and no. You have to un-equip the items that have the MC tag so you can leave and join CoF. If you have other gear you can swap in to replace what you have and it doesn't have an MC tag than you should be able to leave. Keep in mind that changing factions will mean you keep the rank in the MG but you lose all favour you have accumulated to that point.

Are there any tips to avoid having to stand and wait while the kindling is ignited in the Lightless Arbour dungeon with the first boss. Having to stand there is not ideal - hoping you can trigger and then run away somewhere "safe" 🤞 😀

[surreal verge]

It's the only way, the bar doesn't progress unless you're near it.
You can run around the zone in a circle if it helps.

[harsh ravine]

The best thing to do is to build a filter from scratch. You can create a rule, then test it. Then move onto the next rule. Keep in mind rules work from top to bottom. If you have a hide rule before a show/recolour rule then items you may want to see will be hidden in a hide rule is shown first.

You can see what rules apply to an item by opening the filter menu and hovering over or pressing X. This will show you the item witha number corresponding to the filter rule being applied. If you do not see a number than no filter rules are being applied to that item. Here is an example for a Rogue build I have. Generally speaking less rules are better when starting out. In end game you might want to get more specific.

You can move rules around by drag and dropping them

[grim agate]

alright, maybe thats better yea

[harsh ravine]

Yeah I basically run around like a headless chicken and hope to avoid the mini bosses that drop. the circles are well telegraphed so it's just a matter of me being patient. I can consistently get there and get past that to the final boss. Next I need to avoid the beams. A level 3 dungeon is tough, even with a level 96 Marksman Rogue (yeah I know it isn't a meta build but I like it). I can only imagine what a level 4 will be like 😬

[harsh ravine]

It's a preference thing but I found that pre generated filters always have something you don't want in them. I started with pre-built filters from maxroll but then took the plunge and built my own. It isn't daunting once you get going. The difference between show and recolour, in my experience, is that if you recolour something based on a filter, then when an item matches the item and stats you are looking for, it will drop in the colour you have chosen. This means you can see at a glance if it is worth picking it up. If you use show, an item will drop in it's default colour (say purple for an exalt) but it may not be an exact match for what you want. This happens when you filter on a type - say a spidersilk belt for example.

[grim agate]

ok thanks

another question, can i make an item exalted? or is only droppable?

[toxic echo]

exalts are drop only

[grim agate]

perfect ty

im level 69 for now, this should be good right?

[harsh ravine]

As Eagles said - drop only - but there is a Rune of Ascendance you can use on some items to make them into uniques or another piece of a set (I think that's right based on how the rune descriptor reads)

[toxic echo]

its fine if you are doing a crit build, ya

[grim agate]

im going for fire mage, so i guess some crit is good to have

[stone granite]

If you aren't doing damage over time, you are doing crit. That's just the best way to do max damage.

[grim agate]

even if im going full fire damage?

[stone granite]

Yes of course, crit increases that damage

The element of the damage is irrelevant, the only thing that matters is whether you are doing direct damage or damage over time since damage over time cannot crit

[harsh ravine]

I'm running into a horrible performance issue when opening an echo of corruption (to fight the shade and get an increase in the empowered monolith corruption level). When I open the spinning pyramid thing, there is, without fail, several seconds where my client is frozen and unresponsive. This generally leads to my character dying by the time the client catches up with the server. Does this happen to anyone else ? It happens every time. I doubt it is always the servers. This is when I am online (I can't test if it also happens offline since I don't have an offline character). Also is there a menu setting I can maybe change to that will help avoid this - like a lockstep or other network setting ?

Full disclosure - I'm running the game via Crossover because I am on a Mac and LE doesn't have a native client for Mac. It's possible it is something in Crossover that is contributing, but it only happens in this one particular area.

[stone granite]

That is 100% going to be related to running on a mac. Lag like that isn't the server, it's the computer having an issue with a process.

[grim agate]

so basically my priority to look for is: crit chance > crit damage > fire damage > mana > spell damage?

[harsh ravine]

It could be, but it only happens for the one particular place in the game. If it was a server issue I expect would have seen more posts about it but I wanted to double check here first before I go post in the Crossover support forum.

[stone granite]

Base crit chance > Increased crit chance. So for example there are catalysts that give + Crit Chance and that is a HUGE bonus over just something like 100% increased crit. Your base crit is 5%, so 100% increase just brings it to 10% crit. But even +6 base crit chance is a bigger gain. Your skill might have base damage of say 20, so 100% increased fire damage brings it to 40. If you crit, it gets increased again based on your crit damage so it could be triple that. You will have both and will want to find a balance, but you do want your crit chance really high for consistency.

[static lotus]

Are spark charge treated as invocation ? Especially from idol

[stone granite]

The only thing that would ever be server lag in ANY game would be consistent no matter what you are doing, server lag is a delay in information sent to your PC and won't be so specific, it'll be everything. Most of the game is being processed locally on your machine, so stutters like that will generally be something happening locally. Because of how you are running it you may not find many other people with the same experiences either.

[grim agate]

i see,thanks a lot

can you suggest me a stat priority? so i can try build a filter

[harsh ravine]

Agree. I could be the only one running LE via a Mac. Times like this it would be nice to have a Windows box just for games but I don’t so gotta make do. Wouldn’t be so bad if things weren’t so dependant on that fight to boost the corruption level. Hopefully the creators of Crossover can look into it and provide a fix.

[stone granite]

You'll want to balance all appropriate damage stats, so just include them all in your filter. The big thing to pay attention to is the implicit stats on items, because there are catalysts with big crit gains and they will be priority.

[grim agate]

what are implicits?

[stone granite]

The base stats on an item that are listed at the top, below them are your explicit affixes. A specific item will always have the same implicits at top, even if it is a unique version of that item.

[grim agate]

alright i see

thanks a lot for the info

[surreal verge]

No. They're spells.

[static lotus]

Damn

[grave trout]

Hello...just poking my head in for the first time with a question or three.

Picked up LE again for the first time in about 10 months. Discovered my existing characters were now stuck with read-only stash and it seems I'd need to start from scratch (not completely terrible as I needed to relearn my playstyle).

But then I did relearn my playstyle. Running the same story again seems a bit meh.

Do old characters still work, just you need to buy fresh stash if you want read/write?

Or is the expectation that each new season also means having to play the story from scratch again?

[surreal verge]

Old chars still work, it's just that you can only have proper storage with legacy storage tabs. (Assuming your build didn't get changed)

[lusty sorrel]

I am trying to farm gear for Ballista ZHP, should I push to Empowered Monos as fast as possible to farm this gear? I currently play Bladedancer, New player here

[tranquil flicker]

Yep, you can still play your old characters! At the end of each Season, the Cycle characters are moved to Legacy and you can continue playing them there. Just be sure to combine your characters stash into your Legacy stash.

[lusty sorrel]

How do you combine them?

[grave trout]

How combine character stash into legacy stash? The orange buttons at the top didn't seem to do anything.

[surreal verge]

The button at the top combines your gold and crafting materials, the item stash is still "output only"

[grave trout]

Maybe I didn't see a change because I play in the mode of stash shared across my toons.

[tranquil flicker]

In order to merge your stash, you will need to visit your Stash and change the drop down in the top left to the previous season then click the "Merge" button in the top right of the Stash window.

When merging Factions progress, the highest rank between the prevevious Seasons or the beta season will be used for your Legacy Rank. (Faction progress, gold, crafting materials, and stash items are all considered part of your stash)

[swift sapphire]

its the third 3lp that gets all the stats but not the +4 ballista, im i missing something?

im tired tbh

[slow eagle]

rngjesus giveth and taketh

[grave trout]

Before clicking "Merge" and after clicking "Merge", nothing changes.

[swift sapphire]

or trash rng code

[surreal verge]

One remembers bad RNG more than good RNG. It is what it is

[grim agate]

is critical strike chance the same of spell crit chance?

[grave trout]

Oh...I think I understand. Merge is about non-inventory things? Stash I just need to rebuild from scratch...but I can leave stuff in the read-only bits until I'm forced by happenstance to take it out.

[storm blaze]

Yes, for spells

[grave trout]

Pays to learn item hygiene and not be a packrat.

[tranquil flicker]

Loot filters really help with that. lol

[grave trout]

Not with being a packrat. Save everything for later in case I need it for something.

[grim agate]

so if im a mage crit chance is useless for me?

[grave trout]

Like the tab of yellow gloves.

[desert tree]

Crit is generic
Spell Crit only applies to Spell

[grim agate]

ok ty

[desert tree]

Spell Crit rolls higher because it's more specific

[grave trout]

Thank you for the help. I appreciate it. Now I know I can pick up LE from time to time, when it's what I need.

[tranquil flicker]

Dont forget, new Season starts in April with new content! 🎉 😁

[grave trout]

Like a new story to play? Only thing new I noticed last night were those purple things with the 4 items that I could choose to fight.

[tranquil flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/spoilers-doctor-who-gif-8623491

[grave trout]

I only got as far as level 60. Then life happened, and I stopped playing.

[tranquil flicker]

Teasers have been posted in #news previously, as well as dropped during Mike's Friday Twitch streams. Lot's of cool stuff coming, be sure to check it out! 😁

[grave trout]

I will. I enjoyed LE. Easier to pick up and put down than a 4x and on my own schedule, unlike an MMO. It definitely had a niche for me.

I don't really remember, but I think I had finished the story on two toons.

hehehe...well, that was awkward.

hopped on my sentinel and ported to a combat zone to shake of the dust, only to discover my passives were all reset and most of my buttons didn't work.

[tranquil flicker]

When skills were adjusted for balance a few months back, everyone who had those skills were awarded their points back in order to respec. That way players wouldn't be forced into using new skills that may or may not have worked with their prior build.

[grave trout]

Makes sense. I missed the memo. Glad I went to a L42 area first.

[mortal siren]

I play on multiple devices and the game consistently crashes after a timeline boss kill. This happen to anyone else?

[stone granite]

No crashes here

[tranquil flicker]

The next time it happens, when you get back into the game, be sure to submit an In Game Bug Report. It'll certainly help!

[fiery nova]

Regarding Minion Dodge, the Guide says a Minion Dodge Rating of 10 times the area level equals around a 50% dodge chance. Can I assume if the MDR is 20 x the area level, I've hit the 85% dodge chance cap (more or less)?

[surreal verge]

In theory.

[desert tree]

Wait, there is a different formula for minion Dodge?

[fiery nova]

It does seem that way. I hit MDR without much effort (affixes) and I'm allegedly getting 85% Dodge chance more or less. I'm doubting it a little since they seem to be taking less damage but still get their boney butts kicked by tougher trash mobs.

[lapis geyser]

where can i find weapons like these? im trying to follow their guide and they have weapons with such high numbers

[fiery nova]

Regarding the minion dodge stuff, I think I was supposed to re-summon them for the changes to take effect. I think I'm seeing more "Dodge" messages above them.

[desert tree]

Changing zone or summoning will update the stats

Otherwise they snapshot

[desert tree]

You need to craft

[thorn orbit]

why does the frostclaw skill show to increase with cold damage buffs, even though i converted it into lightning damage?

[faint cape]

You might have some flat added cold spell damage from something

or frostbite still? not sure if that's converted with the lightning one

[cosmic night]

If i wanna see big numbers on my screen? What build should i play rn?

[storm wren]

#❔┃ask-the-community message
I don't know which build but I know which skill

[mossy shadow]

makes me wonder if EHG gonna nerf the said "skills" that does big numbers

[desert tree]

There will be nerfs and buffs

[mossy shadow]

well just excited what wacky new build season 2 gonna bring

[dusky kite]

biggest single damage numbers is still probably one punch man paladin despite the nerfs

[mossy shadow]

im still relatively new, but on 1.0 they nerf / buff many class right? i read one how falconer dive bomber (shadow) got nerf

but did they nerf / buff stuff in 1.1 too?

[dusky kite]

the nerfs on 1.0 were a joke, they changed nothing of import

especially given that they also released 50 new OP AF builds that dwarfed everything that existed pre 1.0

1.1 had a few high profile bugs fixed that allowed literal infinite scaling

but not too much else besides this

[mossy shadow]

oh so, nothing really much change since 1.0 and 1.1 eh.

Thank you for sharing. All we can do is wait for patch notes, i guess.

[mossy shadow]

is the infinite ward that reach up to 50k ward part of that?

[dusky kite]

no it wasnt actually infinite but it was more like 150k before the nerfs

[mossy shadow]

Dang

[dusky kite]

rogue had a few infinite damage bugs and I think aco had at least two

although no coming to think about it there were a few legit infinite ward bugs around 1.0, something with experimental affixes and negative mana

[mossy shadow]

Thank you for sharing. i read other story like 1.0 and 1.1 gold and dupe exploit but i won't ask further question on that

[desert tree]

It's fixed

Well, they have disabled direct trade

[mossy shadow]

didn't even know direct trade was a thing xD

[desert tree]

Something something cheat engine, direct trading, negative gold value

[broken gulch]

Just a QQ. Why i cannot respec my "Hemorrhage" i want to change it from 2 points to 1 but nothing is happen if i click respec on that point. Other Points can be changed

[restive epoch]

Reminds me, once again, many many years ago in German 4story server where friend and I found about some item-duping glitch during trade, so we dupped whole bunch of items, sold them, became like one of the richest boys on the server during a weekend... edgiest part was, those dupped items despawned once the person logged out.... 😄

[restive epoch]

Well because you need 2 points in Hemorrhage (those 2 dots left to it on the yellow line) to be able to have points in Plague Burst

If you put 1 point in Hindering Affliction, you can remove 2 points from Hemorrhage

[broken gulch]

ah okay! thank you 🙂

[lusty sorrel]

Hey Guys,
New player here, I have been using Ascended Runes in random daggers to get Smoke Weaver.. is there a different way to try to get it? So far no luck

since that would be my Best in Slot for end game right? I am a Bladedancer

[surreal verge]

Not always, but other than farming random drops, no.

[restive epoch]

If you are CoF , you can also try some prophecies, I guess there are some unique dagger ones

[lean locust]

Can someone recommend a video or explain how the prophecies for CoF work? I am not fully understanding them.

[desert tree]

This one require you to kill Argentus at 120 Corruption
You will gain 3 exalted Rings

[lean locust]

Ahh ok so I need to clear more Monoliths in order to get that

Cool! Thank you!

[desert tree]

Red > what you need to do
Blue > where / how hard it needs to be
Green > the reward

[lean locust]

Perfect - thank you! Exactly what I needed 🙂

[desert tree]

Also the 4 telescopes are for different types of reward.
1 weapon, 1 armor, 1 accessory, 1 Idol

[lean locust]

The telescopes made sense, it was the corruption that was confusing since i am still in the very early monolith stage 🙂

[sonic saddle]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message @balmy current giving an answer here so to avoid clogging up stuff but i believe it's to avoid affix bloat.

They don't change affix rarity by item type, so having more common affixes on an item makes all other affixes rarer due to the affix pool being diluted.

To alleviate this they only give class-specific item slots the attributes generally used by the class, and not off-class attributes.

[bleak harness]

Hello, I read a guide mentioning "Don't sell gear that has high value affixes to a vendor. "
By saying high value, it means the tier of the item or the item's range?

[restive epoch]

Selling gear to vendors just isnt good in general... if it has class affixes/hybrid life just use removal rune/shatter rune

[harsh ravine]

There are also lenses that apply to prophecies. They provide additional boosts to rewards generally. You need favour to select a prophecy. You can also re-roll if you don't see what you like in the telescopes, as long as you have favour to do so.

[red ember]

Anyone know why I can't seem to buy a stash tab? I have no where near 50 let aloen 200, and i click the + sign, and it doesn't do anything, not even a pop-up Disregard, discord overlay being dumb

[sly fable]

Worth saying to noobs: 120 OR HIGHER

[native dune]

How is the RNG in this game compared to PoE2 and Inquisitor - Martyr?

[restive epoch]

Here you have 4 cups, you know what is what in each cup and you randomly get one of the cups
in PoE2 you have a dart, you fly in a airplane and throw darts at the beach. On the beach there are grains of sand and based on which grain you hit with the dart from a plain, thats what you get

[native dune]

Yeah PoE2 is abysmal in terms of RNG. It's the main reason I stopped playing it. Calling anything crafting in this game is lethal amounts of copium.

[restive epoch]

Yeah its anything but crafting 😄 here you can still reroll your affix(es) into something random or simply upgrade the affix into the same affix of higher tier, if you dont like any affix you can chaos it away or seal it (so its still on the item but doesnt count towards the 4affix requirement on Exalted gear to craft legendaries)

Not like in PoE2 where you keep throwing orbs into the Vegas casino

[native dune]

In Inquisitor - Martyr, you can keep adding what LE calls "Forge Potential" infinitely but it costs a lot of materials.

I assume here the "Forge Potential" is fixed?

[restive epoch]

Yea, all the non-unique items drop with 'random' amount of FP and it just keeps going down the more you craft the item, but the amount of FP that you lose with each craft is kinda random, so it can get unlucky 😄

[harsh ravine]

Yes but if you use a Glyph of Hope, you have a 25% not to consume FP, which is handy

[restive epoch]

ye ofc

[dusky kite]

it's not too bad but in some niche cases it's like plucking the hairs on your ass one by one

like if you need to roll a +4 of specific skill on the weaver's uniques

it's layers of shitty rng upon shitty rng then

[native dune]

How common is this situation? Is it ultra-end game min-maxing or pretty much required like PoE2?

[dusky kite]

depends on your build really, for most of them its not a major factor

[restive epoch]

Yeah I wouldnt really worry about weaver items... in 2 motnhs with 1.2 patch we'll also get a new Weaver faction tree, so working with weaver items will mooost likely be easier and cooler 😄

[native dune]

I really like them, I already have 4 of them: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/SmashingQuasar/character/Quasar
I feel like I was fairly lucky with the rolls even though they aren't perfect.

[restive epoch]

Yea they arent really hard to drop, but you gotta be lucky with their rolls... their WW numbers... and then the rolls again 😄

[dusky kite]

it's all fun and games until you need something specific from them

the rings can also be used in some builds especially on mage since they can roll a decent amount of both max mana and mana spent gained as ward but getting the right affixes on them sucks

[kind spade]

Hello is it true that number of active players declined in the last month?

[dusky kite]

steamcharts is free

[kind spade]

Like from couple thoudands to 60 or less

[dusky kite]

no

[kind spade]

Yeah i saw that on youtube

[dusky kite]

yeah man youtube will never lie to you

[kind spade]

Some dude posted steamcharts

About LE

He showed pic with 60 active players

[sinful ruin]

That's crazy bro

Last time I checked it was at a few thousand at least, lel

[cedar locust]

Probably taken during the Server Downtime we recently had

[dusky kite]

you can check it in steam community too

but why would you spend 30 seconds doing that when you can believe some random crap instead

[sinful ruin]

Honestly? Based

What's a fun build idea I can try?

[dusky kite]

do you want to suffer?

[sinful ruin]

Yes

[restive epoch]

Delulu youtube thing

[sinful ruin]

Just something fun, doesn't have to be 100000+ corruption plus

I was gonna do a Paladin with Manifest armour cause it sounds fun

[dusky kite]

alright Im feeling good today and you won't suffer as much, Focal Blast LB

it's actually a real build

[sinful ruin]

I've never played the mage class yet XD

[dusky kite]

its pretty fun and has a lot of builds that are viable if not great

and one or two that are OP AF

[sinful ruin]

Sooo, it's a lightning blast build?

[dusky kite]

it's a lightning blast build that is not lightning and not blast

[sonic saddle]

what qualifies as fun for you

[sinful ruin]

Ummmm

Anything really

I have fun with a totem build or a slash dash build

Just don't know what to try, kind of stuck

Kind of just want some ideasreally, lel

[desert tree]

Crit VineBear

[sinful ruin]

Woah

Entangling vines?

[desert tree]

Fury Leap/ Maul to spawn Vines

Entangling Roots on Maul for extra CS and Flat Spell

[spare glacier]

Does the drop rate of class speific armour unique items increase while playing the designated class? e.g. Does Paranoia drop more often while playing Sentinel?

[cedar locust]

Nope

[mossy shadow]

So just wanted to check some update in Last Epoch reddit to check some season 2 stuff. Saw a post about Mike friday devstream and one just saying season gonna be minor update and game being ded blah blah

But saw a comment about a tester and saying next patch (i think he mean season) is gonna be fantastic.

Does that mean there are people already testing out season 2? was their a application for it? or Dev. choose who can test? like Aaron from action rpg, it seems. but in strict NDA.

Don't wanna take a word from a single person but I really hope LE popped off this coming season 2

[cedar locust]

All RNG! You can influence drop rates with certain Echo Reward options and Circle of Fortune lenses though

[cedar locust]

We do have a CT (Community Tester) program, and they are currently testing some Season 2 content however the application process is currently closed.

As for anything else the tester said, I'd need a link to their comment to check 🙂

[spare glacier]

thx! i was just hunting for the last unique i need for my collection and Paranoia just doesnt want to drop ^^

[cedar locust]

Here - ✨ Loot Drop Boost ✨ (single use, can be used for 1 (one) item or weapon or armour/gear, results not guaranteed) - use it wisely!

[mossy shadow]

well nothing is told, but praising how next patch will be fantastic

kinda hype.

[cedar locust]

I mean, they're right 😁 I can't wait for everyone to see what the team's been working on!

[mossy shadow]

Thank you for being active even in discord to check people's reply and even gifting LOOT DROP BOOST charm xD

[dusky kite]

are the previews still starting like 2 weeks before the date?

[cedar locust]

You mean Pre Launch Hype Blog Posts? Yeah we'll have those 😁

[cedar locust]

We try 😊

[mossy shadow]

I hope Mike finish his moving, his friday devstream adds more excitement with the teaser for season 2. Looking forward to it.

[dusky kite]

I mean if it's a large patch you could probably start earlier than usual and still have enough material to go

[toxic echo]

Mike does owe us 2 weeks of back spoilers

he better bring something juicy this week

[cedar locust]

I'll make sure to pass along the concerns of the rabble

[storm blaze]

He'll have some orange juice

That's juicy, right

[cedar locust]

He has been on his health kick lately, and it's been going really well!

[cedar locust]

We could....

[restive epoch]

Group play with Mike, Aaron and Krip?

[mossy shadow]

I'm thankful enough for the keys having its own inventory storage and not have allocate a separate stash tab for key collection.

And also the rune & glyph auto to storage. Man, when there are like 10 loot lizard, i have to click store each time coz my inv. full of rune and glyphs

[toxic echo]

idk i dont think group play with people from the community is spoiler worthy

and besides, aaron needs that time to get the instant react video up

[restive epoch]

Could maybe just mix it all together for some questions, spoilers and promote LA 1.2 to people that dont really follow LE news but other arpg streamers

[toxic echo]

plenty of time for that when its actual spoiler/patch note season. like mid-late march or something

its still pretty early, lots of stuff is still being changed

[mossy shadow]

well at least Aaron and Dr3adful making new LE builds / update. Might not be much but at least they are known to be arpg content creator and announcing season 2 will ramp up the players

WHEN do they usually release patch note? like 1 day before the actual release?

coz i know people will likely plan builds ahead on those buff / nerf of skills, especially the Sentinel rework.

And i that statement by Mike that Marksman getting some love.

[toxic echo]

it will likely be monday before, so you have a few days. maybe if they are feelin real spicy friday so the build writers have a weekend to play around

LE doesnt really have a set pattern for anything yet

[mossy shadow]

OH Gotcha.

[swift sapphire]

why ballistas shoot so slowly at the start of boss fights?

[spare glacier]

Well with Quickload they get faster every hit they do. Also fresh Ballista are not buffed by Arial Assault yet.

[swift sapphire]

when i get into a mono they instantly get fast

but in boss fights they are very slow

even if i aerial right after spawning in

[spare glacier]

thx! it works like a charm!

[mossy shadow]

should at least went all in with the charm boost and ask for 4LP

haha

[cedar locust]

Happy to have helped!

[cedar locust]

Now now, don't get greedy - the Powers know

[spare glacier]

Ironicly i got multiple 4LP uniques while hunting Paranoia...

[desert tree]

Wait until you realise it's bugged...

[dusky kite]

I'm sure its been bugged literally since the patch when it was added, was that 0.8.2?

at least it only has one bug when spine of malathros (sp?) has like 10 in just one item

[cedar locust]

I cannot see an IGBR on our side for over 7 months for Paranoia 🤔 Malathros - I can see recent ones for that

[faint cape]

Funny thing is, I don't think spine is even bugged anymore

Not that I know of, at least

[cedar locust]

1.03

[dusky kite]

yeah I guess it's no longer bugged once they declare that the bugs are all features

[storm wren]

#🧙┃mage message
Want to know any sorcerer build masters still here... I'm confused about how to run meteor sorcerer well

[frigid badge]

Not entirely related to LE but just curious if any Software Devs (full stack web dev, application dev, etc) made the switch to Game Dev?

I'm just not passionate about what I'm doing and its mentally exhausting.

[hollow spear]

any y'all got a build that can just face tank the universe? clear speed optional

[toxic echo]

shield bash forge guard

[wide sentinel]

You cant facetank all content in this game, it has infinite enemy scaling

[hollow spear]

well, like, up to a decent corruption, I'm not going to push 1000+ or anything

[sonic saddle]

Could i get one? Need it more than ever with having gone a month dry on something that seems like i should see it relatively commonly

[hollow spear]

got a build link?

[candid elm]

example https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shield-bash-forge-guard-guide

[hollow spear]

danke, seems that main shield is going to be my priority farm for a while.

[frigid badge]

Its pretty easy to find IMO

[hollow spear]

I just haven't gotten to the mono that drops it

and I'm out of ascendancy

[faint cape]

tbf it was bugged where a lot of the nodes that applied to the fissure were not applying to flame whips, on top of int scaling not working for the whips - all that is fixed now, it does function exactly as the sword says it does afaik

[glass topaz]

when you slam an item can a sealed affix be rolled onto the unique with LP?

[torn sierra]

no, sealed affixes are ignored

[frigid badge]

Which is a very handy thing to know for Legendary crafting; when I first started, I wasted a lot of good exalts trying to re-roll into perfect affixes rather than simply sealing the affix I don't want

[lean locust]

Is there anything worth farming with Arena Keys? In my first one, and I dont know how many waves I am at... But nothing is dropping.

Ok just killed the champion and had nothing of value haha 🙂

[candid elm]

There is one boss only Unique from each of the 3 random possible bosses you can get at the end https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/arenas/arena-of-champions/tier4/boss-items

[lean locust]

Ah ok thank you! I will have a look.

[solar storm]

what are ppl recommending btwn mg vs cof these days? i have a good grasp of the game but probably lean casual.

[sinful ruin]

CoF if you're casual I'd say

I like the idea of trading but you are still dependant on random good items dropping to sell for gold to buy your gear you need

Where as CoF is just more drops overall and I seem to get pretty dope gear even with a 3-4 affix requirement loot filter

[solar storm]

cool! yeah in the past I've been able to do trading but I lose interest once I buy my bis gear so I was kinda leaning towards cof anyway

[paper fable]

Can you please tell me which faction you prefer and how you farm favor?

I started with merchant and now rank 6 lvl 50, so i could buy uniques for me and alts, but maybe oracle better late game?

Cause i dont have a lot of gold, about 100k

[grand shoal]

CoF only gets interesting if you are here for a longer time, it needs a high rank and you need to farm favor if you want to unleash the full power of CoF.

But CoF is the way to go for me. I play ARPGs for loot! 🙂

[broken gulch]

Can there also drop an exalted item with more then one stat that is buffed?

[restive epoch]

Yea, the chance is there... 2x T6+ isnt really rare, 3xT6 can happen... havent really seen 4xT6+ that isnt sealed yet, but it can probably happen too 😄 you just need to get lucky with good affixes

[restive epoch]

If you want trade, MG is probably just better for the start of next cycle in April... in Legacy I wouldnt bother much with MG honestly and the current playerbase that is pretty much in a waiting stasis isnt big enough for MG to be really great... maybe Im wrong, maybe you manage to buy/sell some items, but definitely not as much as with large playerbase in new cycle

[cedar locust]

Here you go! - ✨ Loot Drop Boost ✨ (single use, can be used for 1 (one) item or weapon or armour/gear, results not guaranteed) 😊

[static lotus]

I must be missing something, spellblade spark is supposed to be one of the best boss build but I cant kill most of the harbingers with it

I get stunned so much I cant build enough ward

[cedar locust]

Are you following a guide or building on your own?

[static lotus]

Maxxroll build

I lack gambler fallacy but it will amper my dps by a lot and it is not great in ST

[toxic echo]

you said spellblade spark charge? or sorc spark charge?

[cedar locust]

Got a link?

[toxic echo]

or shatterstrike spellblade.

cuz there doesnt seem to be a spark spellblade on maxroll

[static lotus]

Spellblade

[static lotus]

It is shatterstrike

But you play with spark charge on hit

[cedar locust]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shatter-strike-spellblade-guide

A quick read of the guide, it looks like this is very much a 'You gotta know when to dodge' build - are there any stats you have capped that you can partially swap out for Stun Avoidance?

[static lotus]

Mmh i already got crit avoidance cap and i struggle to keep my resist up so no

And there is no video guide so I feel baited xwd

[cedar locust]

One sec!

[cedar locust]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/eterra-monthly-dec-2024-edition/74595#community-build-spotlight-8 - Decembers Eterra monthly covered a Shatter Strike Build with a video!

Though the video is just how quickly the build can beat Aberroth, they share their build guid on LETools

The creator is also part of this server 🙂

[desert tree]

I found it really weird to use Shatter Strike to apply Spark Charges

[cedar locust]

Also @static lotus if you prefer video guides, LETools has a section just for those! - https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/mastery=spellblade&language=en

[dusky kite]

its not too weird, it does 6 hits per cast with a very fast attack speed, not sure if its better or worse than the usual sorc builds though

[storm wren]

I have a question, why none of them down 100ms since Nov 2024?

[restive epoch]

I have around 25ms or so for EU West, no idea... 100-150 for US and Asia is probably higher, but I didnt really check... maybe just internet connection issue?

[storm wren]

The funny thing is Australia is the region have the lowest ping But I'm close to Asia SE

[toxic echo]

please do not ping EHG members

[small void]

Being able to see your bought cosmetics in the Character select, is this being adressed in the upcoming patch? 🙂

[storm blaze]

It works at the dev end but for some reason doesn't work for us

[desert tree]

?

[storm wren]

For get a message link

This is an aged bug

[desert tree]

I don't see a problem.
You reset your Corruption and you are back to 100
Did I miss smth?

[storm wren]

hah?...
Don't the third option is reduce 100c only?

[grand shoal]

The third option is always a full reset

[storm wren]

oh... what the hell... emmmmmmm

😅 why no option for reducing 100c

[grand shoal]

Old, or aged? 😄

[storm wren]

Then I should move to suggestion, thanks for the reminder

[frigid badge]

It should be a slider or something IMO.

ex: drag the slider to the corruption level you want (increments of 10)

[storm wren]

😅 what the difference between reduce 10c and 50c

[grand shoal]

40c

[frigid badge]

🤣

[storm wren]

🤣

[grand shoal]

🤷‍♂️

[storm wren]

🤷‍♀️

[desert tree]

🦀

[storm wren]

I mean... any real difference between 10c and 50c?... Just increase the number a bit on visual for me

[desert tree]

Yeah, I thought the middle one was supposed to be half

[storm wren]

If I want to see the different on the difficulty, 100c at least

[desert tree]

But a slider would be great

[storm wren]

oh... custom... yeah

[grand shoal]

You are aware that 100c might be a big step, if you are very low level or play HC, or...

Slider would be great indeed. But the current system has everything you need, a small a medium and a full reset. So nothing to worry about imo 🙂

[storm wren]

Slider solves everything. whatever 10c or 200c you want, it can do that

[grand shoal]

Agree that a slider would be perfect, but the current system can do the same basically

[storm wren]

It can't reduce 100c unfortunately lol

[grand shoal]

It can. Use 2x 50 and there you are

[restive epoch]

Yea you can click the 50 button as many times as you want... there could for sure be more options like 100, 200 just to save a bit of time

[storm wren]

wow thanks

[broken gulch]

Hey all 🙂 another QQ haha. I had a Eye and went to the portal and right clicked on the Eye because i got this Message. The eye is now removed from my inventar but i still cannot go into this Portal. Any ideas?

[desert tree]

To open the portal you need to kill every Harbingers

Maybe the eye is inside the lock

But you can't unlock

[broken gulch]

Hmm but i killed a Harbinger before and got this question

Where can i find another Harbringer?

*quest

[restive epoch]

Every monolith, when you go to kill the boss there is a check box to also challenge the harbringer... you kill the regular boss (some prophecy loot might drop if you run it) and then the harbringer spawns (you will have to kill harbringer on higher corruption to progress the Harbringer faction)... and after you kill the harbi, rest of the loot will drop

[broken gulch]

You mean i need to do the quest from a Monolith again then? 🙂

[restive epoch]

Weeell no, you just need to go to empowered monoliths, fill the bar all they way so you can directly go and kill the boss, no need to do those 2 quests that you had to do before

[broken gulch]

ahh okay 🙂 thank you!

[restive epoch]

There should be a quest in the empowered monoliths that tells you to kill another different harbringer on higher corruption... doenst matter which one you do, but some of them can be a bit more annoying on higher difficulty

[broken gulch]

i have only three quests left

[sullen token]

Are there notes on what's being added/changed for the update in April?

[cedar locust]

You can check out the #eterra-monthly posts for some sneak peaks but the Big Posts ™️ come closer to launch 😁

[storm wren]

can you access shattered road?

[broken gulch]

No

Sorry, yes i can but i cannot go into the portal

[storm wren]

you csn't travel to shattered road?

[broken gulch]

I can

[storm wren]

oh ok then press Y when you're in shatter road

that's the key for forgetten knight panel

[storm blaze]

You can also press Y
and then there's a button on top left that just shows the factions you're a part of
and you can select one

[broken gulch]

If i press "Y" i can just see my Merchant Guild Level

[restive epoch]

top left corner 😛

there should be "Back" button

[broken gulch]

Yes but i still cannot go in the Portal and as far as i know i need to kill another Harbringer right? For what i need "Y" then? haha

[restive epoch]

The quest tells you to open Harbringer faction tab

[desert tree]

You need to kill the Harbingers of the 10 Timelines for that portal

[broken gulch]

Okay 🙂 thank you

[restive epoch]

Nah, this

[desert tree]

Thats where the Pinnacle boss is

They are talking about the portal at the end of Shattered Road

[broken gulch]

Im stuck for now anyway haha. Dying in any monolith in LVL100 now 😂

[desert tree]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/844008172640403496/1338905865360769034/0B64E50E-C403-4AF7-B4E3-CB78B788C93C.png?ex=67acc8c1&is=67ab7741&hm=fbd80dff699fc96550552cbd2b351e913eb03fec7e947d2b919d44ae2c058e7f&

[storm blaze]

Then you do normal monoliths and try to gear up.

[restive epoch]

Yea but to proceed the quest to kill another harbringers at XYZ corruption, I guess you gotta first open FK faction panel 🤔

[desert tree]

@broken gulch Did you manage to open the Knight Panel ?

[broken gulch]

Yes

[desert tree]

Did the quest update ?

[broken gulch]

Yes its changed now

[desert tree]

Good

[restive epoch]

Game plz......

[toxic echo]

Well stop breaking the rules. Duh.

If you could, send a message about it to @grave epoch so the devs can look at it and adjust the filter if needed

[broken gulch]

Is there a way to filter for specific items in the bazaar? For example im looking for "Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros " But i see just the "Unique" filter with 848 Pages

[restive epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/the-secret-ingredient-is-crime-jbone666-mouthful-building-walking-the-street-gif-16400025

tbh no clue how @grave epoch works

[storm blaze]

You send dm to it and it should give you instructions

[cedar locust]

Olvrin, what's your account name?

NP, found you

[restive epoch]

Now Im scared

[tranquil flicker]

We're all scared of Averielle, they are a cryptid unto their own...

[cedar locust]

You have the same name in game as you have in discord my dude 😅

Also, this wasn't due to what you typed, it was a tiny hiccup that sent your messages multiples times in a short time frame and they were caught as spam 🙂

[restive epoch]

Well Im not the best at hiding it seems...
I see, I didnt think this could happen.. 3 times 😄

[cedar locust]

Í̵͝ ̸̛́š̷͛e̴͛͘e̵͛̆ ̵̈͠a̴̔ll......

[faint cape]

Yes, there's a dropdown for them in the advanced/extended filters

[storm wren]

I'm lost already, not sure should I farm gloves or amulets or rings...

I just know my sorcerer is trash now

No direction at all even I figured them out for 2h

Plus: 14% all resistances blessing I have only

To be more clear, I have trouble on physical/cold/poison/void resistance, more mana and more intelligence

🫠 I have to play my necromancer again to farm prophecies instead of playing sorcerer

[grand shoal]

T6 Str ring on sorc, that's wild

[restive epoch]

"oh no, Im out of mana... time to cast 'punch you in the face' spell!"

[storm wren]

🤔 oh I can use red rings even without 180 total attributes?! This is a pog

let me see can double red rings solve my resistance issue

[restive epoch]

Yea ofc, you only "need" 180 total atributs if you want that damage reduction

[storm wren]

alright no, my issue still here

[frigid badge]

What about idols

The belt is pretty bad IMO

[storm wren]

ok I see... I lack of a omnis with T7 mana

I've capped all resistances finally but... poor intelligence and poor mana

[desert tree]

Poor Int?? 113 is a lot no??

[storm wren]

I need 130 intelligence at least if I want to survive in 700+ corruption

[restive epoch]

I think I got nearly 140 on Lich with no legendaries and lvl 72ish 😄

lv81, nevermind 😄

[storm wren]

yeah lots of legendary items isn't a good thing unless you can get resistances from your legendary items

🤔 yeah... Impossible to reach 130 intelligence if I want + 18% all resistances from red ring. Unless I own a t7 intelligence red ring

🤷‍♀️ Thr ring which maybe cost over 500k favour and get nothing

stack mana is the only way to buff my defence

[restive epoch]

t7 red ring is probably nooot happening... 😄

[storm wren]

I guess the max corruption this build can reach isn't over 700 (so it'll super struggling when over 700)

Frozensentinel's frost claw build is better than that still because I can reach 140 intelligence and buff my damage by teleport without losing flame ward

[frigid badge]

Does anyone know if EHG has mentioned adding **specific **unique item filters in the future? (ex: red ring)

[faint cape]

They have not. However, they have said they are more likely to add in new conditions that simplify things you can already do rather than give new capabilities - filtering for specific things does fall into that category. You can filter red rings (and/or many other unique/set items) specifically just through creative use of existing filter rules.

[solar storm]

has anyone experimented with the most efficient way to level the first character? since skips aren't a good option I mean

[frigid badge]

Well early game skills aren't balanced equally so find a guide for the class you want and just zoom

Ailments are pretty strong early game

[timid monolith]

any guesses on why i randomly do no damage to monsters ?

[toxic echo]

server desync prolly, just reset

[timid monolith]

it happens like every 10 min nice

[toxic echo]

have you tried a different server?

oh, wait, its tuesday

steam maintenence

always screws with LE hard

[timid monolith]

Yeah that was one of them for sure

[desert tree]

Play campaign until you retrieve the Spear

Should have all you Idols and Passives pts at that point

Then go to Monos

[lean locust]

Just to be sure - on my alt I can leave CoF and join MG? But I need to spend the favor before leaving?

Is that correct?

[candid elm]

To add onto what Vlaad said. I did the full campaign on my first character, well the 9 chapters that are currently available of it, and then skipped as much as possible on subsequent characters.

There are a number of skip options for solo play.

Example 1. Do the campaign as normal until Chapter 7 after you get the Lance, at that point you'll have all the Passive and Idol unlocks. Go into Monoliths until you get a Temporal Sanctum dungeon key and feel comfortable running that you can use the dungeon the exit to get into Chapter 9 and join an item faction. Doing it this way you're higher level going into Monoliths. I did this on most of my characters and the 1.0 Cycle. Works fine.

Example 2. Do the campaign up until you reach the oracle in Chapter 5 and have gotten the Temporal Sanctum waypoint. Go into Monoliths until you get a Temporal Sanctum dungeon key and feel comfortable running that. Use the dungeon exit to get into Chapter 9. Then in Chapter 9 get the last few unlocks and join an item faction. Doing it this way you're lower level going into Monoliths. I did this on the 1.1 Cycle and it also works fine.

[cedar locust]

You don't HAVE to but you will lose it otherwise

[lean locust]

Cool thank you 🙂

[tribal meadow]

Lmao, what's wrong with my zoom levels? 😄
Max zoom in / max zoom out

Fixed after relogging

[cedar locust]

Can you submit an IGBR? This happens once in a blue moon and the team would benefit from more info!

To fix it, you can quit out > Verify your game files through Steam > load back in 😊

[tribal meadow]

I switched antialiasing from TAA to SMAA (cause TAA is smudgefest), lemme see if it reproduces the bug

[mossy shadow]

I hope you fixed the Aerial Assault dropping us Falconer into oblivion, I have already submitted a Bug report but man, its just funny how i need to aerial assault different part of the wall to climb back up haha

[cedar locust]

Yep, we fixed a lot of movement skills doing that 😅

[tribal meadow]

Reproduced

[cedar locust]

Legendary! Can you submit an IGBR with that info in it?

[tribal meadow]

Yeah, you wanna try reproducing it now?

[cedar locust]

I can pass it to our QA Team who can repro it 🙂

[tribal meadow]

I'm trying to pinpoint what exactly does it

It's zooming in when the game is loading, but you need to change graphics settings first and then it does it

[cedar locust]

so change them on the login screen?

[tribal meadow]

Yeah, change graphics settings on the login screen (I changed the Antialiasing one), click apply, enter game and keep scrolling scrollwheel (zooming in) until you load into game

It will load zoomed in

[cedar locust]

All good info to put in the IGBR! Those are repro steps!

[tribal meadow]

I tried changing shadows and it didn't reproduce, but changing antialiasing option from TAA to SMAA reproduces it

I guess people change some option in the menu and then mess with the scrollwheel while waiting for the game to load

[cedar locust]

Yep, I am people 😅 Though I've never changed that setting before sooooo

[tribal meadow]

Probably related to interaction with the settings panel and game changing states from login/maingame

[zenith vine]

does using "Foot of the Mountain" mean you can no longer dodge while stood still, or do you keep dodge and get the endurance threshold ontop?

it says converted so id assume you lose dodge?

[buoyant condor]

Yes it converts dodge rating you can no longer dodge (the stat dodge rating not the skill evade/dodge)

[zenith vine]

perfect

i have quite a few when hit effects and dodging doesnt count as a hit

[desert tree]

Dodging doesn't but block does
So does glancing Blow I believe

[fast verge]

Is there any, i am stupid i smash big stick big hp big dumb guy build or archetype? Like a warrior , barbarian or marauder? i tried the sentinel and it wasnt it 😦

[harsh ravine]

Can you turn off the crossbow laser things in the Stolen Lance boss fight ? The boss fight is ok but the harbinger fight is ridiculous. They are on constantly so I have to be on the move all the time and that makes it hard to fire off any shots as a Rogue (Marksman build). If a Rogue stands still they die. Running Corruption level 191 atm. It's likely a bit more than I shuld be attempting but I can always get to the harbinger part. I'm just too tired running around to stand much of a chance to kill it with those lasers following me around. It might be my imagination but they seem to speed up and multiply after a while 😀

[tranquil pike]

Would forged weapons be able to cast fire tornado if you have the "rule of the simoon" gloves or does that not count as stats for gloves with phantom grip

[spare glacier]

I have tried that just today, doesnt seem to work. Sadly.

[tranquil pike]

Unfortunate. I understand why it doesn't for balance reasons but man that would be so cool

[tranquil pike]

I'm trying to decide what prefix to give this thing. Planning on using it for a forge guard so I was thinking about some of the fire specific perks but another part of me just says to play it safe and give it vitality so it can be useful in various different builds. Opinions?

[toxic echo]

vit or str is solid. esp if you plan on getting a red ring later for more DR

you have tons of FP, you can seal and craft still as well

[sonic saddle]

Still a risk to do that, adding an affix then sealing it can eat a tonne of fp

[toxic echo]

yeah, but 46 is really high FP

think its worth it on a double exalt t7 skill piece. unless they plan on legendary slamming it

[kind spade]

yo guys

[hidden trellis]

👋

[kind spade]

guys i have an unique and i cant see the name of it

i cant loot it at all

i tried spamming X key and nothing

[hidden trellis]

press alt + z in-game to re-enable item tooltips

[honest birch]

Are you well?

[fleet dune]

Can someone send me the top 3-5 builds to push corruptions right now?

[icy drift]

best bet is most likely a sorc or falconer build, there's a few in each that can push really high in corruption

like glacier sorcerer or bleed falconer

there's also torment warlock that's really good

[forest sedge]

The "Lost Connection" entry under Known Issues suggests "adjust your DNS settings". What adjustments should I make?

[candid elm]

For example you can use 1.1.1.1 for Cloudflare or 8.8.8.8 for Google. Or something else. There's a lot of options and you can test to see which works best for you. You can set it on your router or in your operating system.

[desert tree]

Beast Master or Druid could fit

[midnight knot]

After playing for like...15 minutes? The game starts crashing every single time. I don't have this issue with any other game, am sporting a 3080 and a ryzen 5 5600x with 64GB of RAM on a NVME ssd, how do I avoid this? No error message, it just starts running at 1fps for a second then freezes and crashes.

I know there's a memory leak but every other application does well and I haven't had this issue a few days ago. I did fiddle with graphics settings, is one of them known to cause crashes?

[dusky kite]

no idea but my client runs on hardware that's 1/4 as good for hours with only moderate performance drops, have you tried checking the video drivers?

[midnight knot]

I mean I have the newest one since yesterday, maybe that one's causing issues? :_D Wouldn't be the first time a driver update messes stuff up lol

[dusky kite]

yeah you might try to roll it back

[midnight knot]

ye game ran really well on my steamdeck too and fps wise it does great, I just get these crashes

Good call lemme try that ty

[midnight knot]

Nnnnope still crashing after a short while

found some threads saying Warlock is a very crash-prone class...Which sucks, I'm playing one rn and it's fun :/ Windows updates could apparently also be the culprit but idk if I wanna rollback my windows for a potential fix <_< Vsync doesn't help either. Think I'll just give up. zzz

[tribal meadow]

Smells like corrupted shaders, uninstall the game and delete the Steam game folder (to get rid of any leftover shaders/files), redownload and see if it helps

[midnight knot]

Oh that I could try actually, thanks!

[tribal meadow]

I had something similar happen with Hearthstone ages ago, it started running extremely laggy, like I was unable to put the cards in play and would timeout into rope on turn 5 cause the game was so laggy

Hearthstone runs on phones, no way my 8 core CPU and GTX 1080 would run it worse than my mobile

Nothing on the forums apart from the usual "it runs well on my GTX 1030 and AM3 Bulldozer, it must be my supreme intelect that makes it run well"

First thing when game misbehaves and can't figure it out > delete the whole thing, including all the folders you can find, and redownload

[midnight knot]

Gotta love "works on my machine" posts. I'm not looking for you to defend a company, I get that shit breaks sometimes, PCs are complicated and it can be many things, just tell me if you have any available ideas for fixes 😅
People in here are actually the latter, GPU drivers were a pretty likely culprit considering the timing so that's neat! But I read a lotta threads on the forums and reddit and the like that had the typical "it runs on my toaster, buy a better pc xdddd" crowd spouting their nonsense :x

[tribal meadow]

Yeah, that's an instablock, those people aren't there to help

Might be caused by ALT+F4 out of the game while it's compiling a shader or something tbh, I rarely use the "Quit game" option, I just ALT+F4 out of games

[midnight knot]

I do that occasionally, ye might be

[midnight knot]

f***. Did a full reinstall, didn't help, still crashes after a while.

if anyone has further ideas to save me from crashing beyond what I tried:

• GPU Driver rollback to a previous version
• full clean uninstall of the game
• pretty much all graphics settings available in differing combinations

then lemme know. I really like LE :x PC is beefy, 3080, Ryzen 5 5600x, 64gb RAM, NVME ssd for Windows and LE itself

[tribal meadow]

You delete the steam folder too?

Can you open task manager and see what happens when the crash occurs? Any CPU/GPU spikes?

RAM usage spike?

[midnight knot]

Yea

[tribal meadow]

You could do a 30-60 minutes of Prime95 blend test to make sure your memory overclock is stable

[midnight knot]

My RAM's pretty new and I got 64GB of it, but I could do that. Right now I'm playing a Beastmaster for 30minutes and have no issues 👀

But if I get another crash I'll keep the task manager open and try that

[tribal meadow]

I used to crash after 20-30 minutes in PUBG, couldn't figure it out, the only game that was crashing like that, forum post mentioned memory overclock sensitivity of Unreal, downclocked from 1866 to 1600MHz and it was rock solid since

[midnight knot]

I don't really overclock my RAM manually 🤔

[tribal meadow]

I used XMP profile

PUBG was the only game over the years that hand any crashing issues

And it was always toward the end of the match

Other than that I'd update both Windows and GPU drivers and see if that helps

nVidia loves to make bad drivers from time to time

[midnight knot]

Windows is up to date and GPU drivers were, too

downgrading didn't do it either sadly :x

[tribal meadow]

Well, restart PC if you haven't already after the clean install

[midnight knot]

I did ofc

I get why you tell me tho, ty :D

ye idk 35mins of gameplay on a beastmaster and nothing's goin wrong, every 5-15mins warlock crashes the game

really odd

[cedar locust]

In Task Manager, can you see a program called UnityCrashHandler? If so, kill it

[midnight knot]

Yes, I saw that just now and killed it

is that known to cause issues?

ah a simple search suggests a resounding yes 😁 Gotcha, ty. Will try that and now try playing my lock again

[cedar locust]

Yeah, if a genuine Unity crash happens that program opens and can then, contrary to it's name, cause more crashes ....

[midnight knot]

Ok it crashed on my warlock after 5 minutes again after attacking enemies in the barren aqueduct (level 40 area) with chthonic fissure and Chaos Bolt. GPU didn't spike, quite the contrary, it just...calmed down to 0% usage lol, kept a very close eye on it

now it's running at like 1 frame every 10-15 seconds and about to crash again :,)

[cedar locust]

Nvidia?

[midnight knot]

Ye 3080, tried older and newer drivers

[surreal verge]

What nodes do you have on fissure? There's a node that's known to cause issues.

[midnight knot]

Which one is that? Restarting the game rn

[surreal verge]

Return Below, bottom left

[cedar locust]

Another issue with Nvidia is not just drivers, they're quietly sunsetting GeForce Experience in favour of Nvidia App. I've seen more and more reports of people having less issues when they swap over programs 🥲

[midnight knot]

Hm, haven't specced that one yet sadly :<

[midnight knot]

I mean it wasn't exactly quiet for me, they just installed the nvidia app instead of geforce now. Not using the overlay rn and the issue seems specific to warlock 👀

[cedar locust]

Can I get your account and character name?

[midnight knot]

Sure, should I write this here or DM you somehow?

Playing in full offline mode tho

[cedar locust]

True offline?

[midnight knot]

Yes

[cedar locust]

Ah, then I might need you to reach out via ModMail with your Save Files

[midnight knot]

This one

[cedar locust]

Basically I want to take your exact character and try run it on my machine to see what happens - it might still be the warlock and not the hardware but it's a good way to test

[midnight knot]

Gotcha, we can do that thanks!

[cedar locust]

If Modmail doesn't play nice for any reason you can reach out via support 🙂

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[midnight knot]

What exactly is modmail?

Oh the @grave epoch ?

[cedar locust]

That's the one!

[midnight knot]

I verified but it's still asking me to close the page and verify, tried that 2-3 times and closing/opening discord now. How long does that usually take?

[cedar locust]

Not long, make sure you're selecting the right server - they can take a second to load in - but if it's being finicky, use the Support link, I can see those and pull files, just not respond 😅

[midnight knot]

Kk, will just use the support page then 👍

Alright sent it, ty. Hopefully this can be fixed, the warlock's quite fun :x

[cedar locust]

Did you get an auto-reply to your ticket? If you did can you reply to that again with the following?

Player.log files and your Save Files?

[midnight knot]

I did get an auto reply to my E-mail, is that where I keep replying? I'll send that over then

[cedar locust]

Yep, if you go through the ticket process again it just opens a new ticket and things get confusing

[midnight knot]

Kk thought as much!

[cedar locust]

You can paste %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves into File Explorer to find your saves

[midnight knot]

Just player.log is enough and the savefile right? no need for the player-prev.log?

[cedar locust]

send the prev log too just in case 🙂

[midnight knot]

Alright just gonna send all my logs and the saves folder then, ty!

[cedar locust]

Thank you! The first thing I'm gonna try is dropping your save into my folder and playing it, see if I crash. If not, I'll pass it along to the team with your .log files and mine so they can investigate 🙂

[midnight knot]

Gotcha, thank you

[cedar locust]

Gottem!

[mossy shadow]

Thank you for being active for the community @cedar locust

[cedar locust]

Oh, you're welcome! I just like being helpful 😊

[mossy shadow]

Question: what does Glyph of Envy actually do? im too small brain to understand the item description

[desert tree]

Randomise an item (not the important part)
Boost the Stability of the Timeline you are in (the important part)

[mossy shadow]

yeah about that "boost stability part" ... you really need an item just to boost stability of the whole timeline?

it's so rare that i never bother to test

[desert tree]

Allow you to fight bosses faster, so you can either

• chain boss fight
• speed progress your alts

[mossy shadow]

is it even worth it? the boost in stability that is

[desert tree]

They get more common when you are in Empowered

[desert tree]

Yes, if you want to farm a boss unique and don't want to do 8-15 echoes between boos fight

Or if you want to skip the regular Monos with your alts

You get like 150 - 200 stability per Glyph in Empowered

And a full bar in normal Monos

[mossy shadow]

I see. Will try, since season 2 is coming soon. Might as well try as much as i can with this rare glyph of insight (which i somewhat got experimenting with rune of research) lol

[desert tree]

Glyph of Insight is a weird one ^^

[mossy shadow]

Thank you for the INSIGHT, i really ENVY your knowledged

Ba Dum Tss!*

[desert tree]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

[mossy shadow]

i'll go now.

[cedar locust]

Nooooooooo, we love puns around here!

[storm blaze]

No we don't
Don't trust her

We do actually like puns but I just like to say no we don't

[dusky kite]

damn that's a shame, I had that on my list of builds to try - thankfully it was down on the bottom, on the flip side

[dusky kite]

it's been long solved but the process is so incredibly convoluted that it's practically worthless

havent seen a single base where I could reliably add an affix I needed with that

[mossy shadow]

makes me wonder what rune / glyph Mike is talking about being remove for season 2. HMMMMMMMM

[dusky kite]

refinement and shaping see very little use

especially since using them can leave the item being strictly worse

[mossy shadow]

i kinda like refinement especially if 2 of the affixes i want are in low range in their highest tier (6/7)

[dusky kite]

given that it also drains FP it should not be possible for it to roll below the current roll value

[mossy shadow]

Shaping yeah... implicit doesn't bother me as much once i go farming for exalt slamming

no, i mean if i get like a tier 7 Spell Critical Strike Chance and it got like 120% inc. only but can go up to 150%. I can try to get higher range to min-max, i guess

[kind spade]

Hello i have issues killing the transfotming alien boss from monoliths, i got 75 void resist yet i still fail

[mossy shadow]

transforming alien boss? now im interested who might that be.

we have a big bag of flesh, a lance thief, a actual centaur, a corrupt mage, icy lich, bone dragon

[toxic echo]

yeah...really need a name or something to help out

[mossy shadow]

Abbe isn't transforming isn't he?

[restive epoch]

My bet is on the corrupted wizard

Aberroth gets transormed into a pancake

[mossy shadow]

well Elder Gaspar is like a Elemental wizard

since he said he got 75* void resist, i thought its Abe, or maybe one of the Harbinger

[restive epoch]

Yea but he gets corrupted and looks a bit like alien... at least the bottom half... and has like two void attacks... but having capped resists doesnt really guarantee a protection from getting one-shotted

[kind spade]

can i just type my ingame name and you can view my gear and stats???

[toxic echo]

no, i am a discord mod, i have no powers ingame

if you want help with a boss tho...kinda need to know what boss you are fighting

alien isnt super helpful

[harsh ravine]

Just go to LETools and import your character. Then past the build link here.

[desert tree]

We can have look at your character (if online) with you account name and character name

[restive epoch]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[dusky kite]

Argentus isn't a lance thief, he is a proud champion who claimed the lance in combat

and I mean just compare him to grael, lamest "champion" I've seen so far

[kind spade]

i will try to make a screen capture in about 1 hour, now i play another game

[desert tree]

Give account name and character name, we can get it from letools

[kind spade]

i will never give my account name

[desert tree]

.... That's how you add people on your friend list

There is nothing one can do with it

Except checking your gear

[kind spade]

ok i will just post a screenshot

im preety sure i fail bcoz i dont use a defensive ability

my best was getting the boss down to 40%

[restive epoch]

Is it the spooky corrupted alien wizard Gaspar we are talking about?

[kind spade]

the boss that changes the Monolith map

most of his attacks are Void

[toxic echo]

shade of orobyss?

like actually using the mobs name is really helpful when asking for help, so we dont spend 30 minutes guessing what you are talking about

[finite peak]

would be more usefull if he talked bout it while hes in LE instead of playing something else 😄

[kind spade]

well the problem is i fogot his name

yeah orobyss

[mossy shadow]

Now that sounds like Abe

[restive epoch]

Well Orobyss has few different versions...

[mossy shadow]

Oh Orobyss

[surreal verge]

Orobyss does more than just void damage, and some attacks WILL one shot you almost all the time.

[dusky kite]

OwObyss and UwUbyss?

[reef oak]

How to set up loot filter to not see items below rare? I think its so confusing

[storm blaze]

Just hide magic and normal items

[restive epoch]

• huge meteor that straight up oneshots you, there should be a trail before the meteor appears, so react fact and dodge out of the way
• little black holes that slowly chase you down but on low corruption they shouldnt really oneshot you I guess unless you stand inside of them, so keep moving around
• 3 pizza slices that most likely oneshot you all the time so stand in between them, its free damage before Orobyss finishes casting it
• some summoned tentacles / eyeballs that shouldnt be too hard to avoid, can just kill them...
• black hole somewhere in the arena that fires a void bolt at you and on high corruption might hurt, but it doesnt track movement
• Orobyss stands in place and some black holes start flying towards him fast but that should also be easy to step away and range dmg
• Orobyss summons some huge rock above him and idk how that really works, he either slams it for big damage or it puts down some temporal aoe dot? idk, just step away from it and wait until its gone

anything else that the corrupted alien wizard does other than his unique versions?

[reef oak]

Is it so easy? Dont you have to do with affixes and stuff

[restive epoch]

You spoiled a secret Valentine patch that summons two OwO/UwU-bysses for a 1v2 boss fight

[storm blaze]

that easy
magic items are always blue
and normal white
If you want to show specific affixes just put a line above it to show those

[reef oak]

Should I see magic items?

[storm blaze]

they can have affixes you'd want to shatter

[reef oak]

I see

So maybe filter out normal

[kind spade]

i have 2 questions about mechanics: is Void damage considered Elemental; and also what is the maximum damage boost you can have for a certain damage type? i got 250% on my void knight from the weapon alone and it feels almost unnoticeable

[toxic echo]

no.

there is no hard max.

[restive epoch]

I have something simplified like this (in loot filter in this order):

• 5. Recolor: wanted build affixes =t7 (in caps)
• 4. Recolor: wanted build affixes =t6
• 3. Recolor: non-class =t7 affixes (class being the one you play)
• 2. Recolor: class t1-6 to shatter
• 1. Hide: all normal/magic/rare/exalted items of all categories
     ...idk if tis the best option, but it works just fine for me.. ofc you can squeeze anything else you want there, like recoloring hybrid life affix, hide & recolor idols (I have green for %life+life / yellow for build)

[reef oak]

? Dont understand t6 and recolor

[restive epoch]

Void isnt elemental damage = you need void resist for it; only fire and cold and lightning is considered elemental... there are some items that enables you to take X % of elemental damage as Void instead (or some similar conversion like this)

and you also need something that this 250% increased damage actually increases other than the skill damage itself

[reef oak]

Think I understand

[restive epoch]

In the loot filter when you choose "Recolor" in the rule, it kinda works like "show", so you basically hide all the items and then you either use "show" or "recolor" to see whatever loot you want to see... and you can also add in the rule to see certain affix tiers

[reef oak]

Alright! Ty

[restive epoch]

I hope Im not explaining stuff like an idiot and its actually correct... 😄

[reef oak]

🤣

[harsh ravine]

Recolour makes it easier to see if something matches your filter. For example - exalted items always drop with a purple colour. That isn't helpful because if you have a filter based on affixes and want to match 3 out of 4, then other items will also drop. You won't know till you pick it up and look if it is an exact match. If you select recolour, say red, then when an item drops that matches what you want, it will show up red, not purple. Then you know you should pick it up. If it drops as a purple item then you can ignore it and move on. There are some nuances but generally speaking, that's how recolour, as opposed to show (which will display in the default item colour) works - at least that is my understanding.

[tribal meadow]

When you want to farm bosses then it's super handy, allows you to boost all the way up to them instead of grinding echoes

[reef oak]

Alright! But what If I dont know what exalted i want? Can I just recolor all exalted somehow?

[restive epoch]

Yea you can recolor all exalted

[reef oak]

Think I just hide white im still early game

[restive epoch]

You want to recolor what you want for your build as I wrote above before... it really depends what build you want to play... and you can always duplicate your lootfilter if you want to test some stuff or just change it for some entirely different build/class

[reef oak]

Summoner necro

[restive epoch]

Yea you can do only some simple stuff while lvling, like hiding normal/magic, later on rare... and only use "recolor" with selected affixes for your build

[reef oak]

Alright!

[restive epoch]

like at the beginning until, idk, lv 50 or when you start dropping a lot of exalted items, you can already make "recolor: affix +X to summon skeletons"/"%increased minion damage" etc, just to see right away easily whats good for your build

[reef oak]

I think I understand.

Ty

What If I recolor item I want but If I want other rarity as well

Dumb questions maybe

[restive epoch]

Yeah you can just set up Recolor for only magic/rare/even exalted and in extra settings or how is it called in the loot filter, you can set what affix tiers you want

[reef oak]

So what I want in red but other items as normal

[restive epoch]

affix tier 6 and 7 is something you cant craft, but they can still drop with affixes for your build with tier5, which I just remove with rune (bcz it gives max amount of shards) or Shatter rune

[reef oak]

Alright ! Thanks for the help. Will be an LE night

[restive epoch]

Hmmmmm what do you mean? 😄

[reef oak]

Like just highlight the items i want but show other items If I maybe want for another build/character

[restive epoch]

5. Recolor: (RED) wanted build affixes =t7 (in caps) (you can only check for what weapon type you want, can keep all armor on, all accessories)
6. Recolor: (red) wanted build affixes =t6 (just duplicate the 5) rule and un-check the box for all-caps)
7. Recolor: (orange) non-class =t7 affixes (class being the one you play)
   => can just copypasta the 3) rule here for =t6 for other classes
8. Recolor: (pink) acolyte t1-6 to shatter (ALL acolyte affixes so you can hoard them for easily upgrades/rerolls)

You can just use a different color for other build/classes you want to play... and you dont have to have all class affixes checked.... idk, I hope this somehow helps 😄

[harsh ravine]

We really should have a channel specifically for filters. It’s a huge topic in itself. Maybe a moderator could create a channel ?

[reef oak]

that makes sense

thanks for teaching a fellow noob

[restive epoch]

and have a loot filter master @cedar locust do it 😛

[reef oak]

then i vote for @restive epoch for president

[restive epoch]

lmao no 😄 Im far far away from some LE experts here, but those things just work fine for me... ofc people do loot filters differently 😄

[reef oak]

Grim Dawn does it really good with an very nice loot filter (my fav game so ofc i think so) 😄

[cedar locust]

I'll add it to the list to put to the Council

[shy stream]

https://tenor.com/view/the-council-gif-25499618

[grand shoal]

First I want to see a HC specific chat

[harsh ravine]

No reason they can’t both be done at the same time. A HC channel makes sense too.

[reef oak]

im never so cool to play HC 😄

in any game..

[restive epoch]

#loot-filter-help
#general-hardcore
#terrible-item-showcase
😄

[grand shoal]

I personally would say #👑┃item-showcase and #💩terrible-item-showcase share the peer group, but hey, why not ^^

[restive epoch]

I still want a refund for my 2LP Nihilis...

[grand shoal]

That was the bad roll Amu, that got 2LP via Nemmy, right?

[restive epoch]

yep 😄

[grand shoal]

I mean, you asked for it 🤷‍♂️ 🤭

[frosty vessel]

When should you get lootfilter? In poe its pretty much when endgame starts. I'm only level 28

[grand shoal]

The law says, you get either the rolls, or you get the LP - you rarely get them both ^^

[toxic echo]

whenever you feel like you are seeing too many items

and want to stop wasting time looking at bad items

[grand shoal]

I usually start around lvl 10 in LE, only a few rules to make leveling more relaxed.
The first real more complex usually comes around first empowered monos when I have an ok'ish base.

Rule of thumb, when you feel you see too much, try to make it a bit better

[frosty vessel]

Alright thanks

[reef oak]

can i change color of cursor?

[storm blaze]

no

[restive epoch]

You can also pretty much start one since lv1 and slowly turn the rules on, add more rules, change them (with later lvls start hiding magic/rare/etc).

[frosty vessel]

Should I make my own or import? I've been recommended raxxterax

[restive epoch]

Id say its better to try make your own to learn how the entire loot filter works so you can adjust it anytime, duplicate it and easily use for other characters without the need to look for filters for any build/char you would have

[reef oak]

makes sense

i have yet to learn affixes and stuff

[restive epoch]

Raxx is really cool and knows stuff, so i guess filters from such content creators are fine, but still

[frosty vessel]

Alright good tips. Will try to create a simple one

[storm wren]

🙏 I've thought the build use Alchemist's Ladle... That's too ridiculous if it's true. Thanks Eterra, it's wrong

[shy stream]

It actually uses the Mad Alchemist's Ladle

https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/welcome-to-the-naughty-list---crit-stygian-coal-lich#:~:text=Intelligence-,Main-Hand,-Mad Alchemist's Ladle

[storm wren]

yeah but the ladle acolyte is holding on the picture is Alchemist's Ladle 👀

[shy stream]

Oh I understand the confusion now

[storm wren]

Wick must know they looks different 👀

[restive epoch]

Can we just talk about how huuuuge those spoons are? 😄

I mean, even for a ladle...

[storm blaze]

Wouldn't recommend using them for cooking

[restive epoch]

Depends on the pot size

[reef oak]

i found a necro minion loot filter on Last epoch tools. maybe can use that? @restive epoch

[restive epoch]

I have absolutely no idea 😛

[proper geode]

Yolomouse on steam store, there’s also free ones the change in game cursors.

[reef oak]

thanks. but will not import 😛

[candid elm]

I'm not sure what you mean, but if you're wondering about it being ok to yes, yes the devs said it was https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230525636263546940

[eager mango]

anyone can hepl me at lagoon?

[reef oak]

no its just me i dont like to mod 😄

[eager mango]

i need somebody to help kill lagoon, anyone can help me ? 😄

[candid elm]

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

I'm getting extremely small amount of gold since I started my first monolith. It makes buying shattering runes even harder than during the campaign. Aside from focusing on nodes giving piles of gold, is there a way to improve this situation?

[toxic echo]

not really.

but you should be getting plenty of runes from kills and echoes and such you dont really need to buy any

[restive epoch]

Idk if Id bother buying shattering runes during lvling unless, well, its alt and you already have plenty of gold

[native dune]

I get 1-2 shattering runes per map while I get 5-6 items I would like to shatter.

[restive epoch]

The only gold boost for drops is from the Fall of the Outcasts first monolith... I think thats about it 🤔 you could just throw it into stash and shatter them later if its some class affix/hybrid life... later on in monoliths there is plenty of runes, gold and loot

[native dune]

Yeah I've got 3 stash tabs full of items I keep to shatter and it's getting progressively worse unfortunately.

[faint cape]

5-6 every single echo? What kind of items do you aim for shattering?

[native dune]

I keep most items with resistances on them, aside from that, only items with +increased damage over time, +spell damage, +fire/lighting damage and +sentinel skills.

Ah and cooldown reduction as well.

[faint cape]

Ah, I see, I am pretty sure those are all not worthwhile to shatter. Except maybe CDR if you don't have the shards currently.

[restive epoch]

Naaah dont bother with shattering resistances

[faint cape]

Once you have like >5 or so of any given shard, the need to shatter for it drops dramatically and common shards you end up with hundreds without even trying

[restive epoch]

That kinda adds up on its own when you keep shattering items with class affixes/hybrid life/cooldowns... idk, ward per second maybe?

[faint cape]

I recommend setting a recolor filter to highlight items with enough tiers of rare/uncommon affixes or affixes you currently find you have no shards of but want to use

I set it at T4+ rare affixes only, but early on you might want T3+ rare/uncommon

[native dune]

Already done. ;)

[faint cape]

and then another thing to consider is you don't want to only salvage using shatters, rune of removal (+ glyph of hope) is very efficient when you find an item with a high tier rare affix (like T4+, even better if it's a blue item with fewer affixes)

[native dune]

I forgot that runes of removal exist.

[random tapir]

what's the endgame loop like here? and power curve? Is there infinite power potential or am I gonna hit max and be done with the game?

[native dune]

Thanks for reminding me.

[native dune]

I'm still new, but the end game seems like the Void Crusades of Inquisitor - Martyr paired the maps of PoE.

[random tapir]

Kinda wanna give the game a go but price tag seems a lil steep when looking at the long list of issues with the game, aesthetic of the game appeals to me a lil more than d4/poe/grim dawn so idk 🧐

[native dune]

What's this long list of issues?

I've had like 1 major issue so far.

And I reached end game.

[random tapir]

lack of updates, performance issues, storyline just abruptly ending, "bugs" - misc

[restive epoch]

The list is for sure shorter than poe2 😄

[random tapir]

refunded after an hour cos I literally couldn't get past loading screen due to constant freezing 💀

[native dune]

So there is 1.2 coming in April which will add quite a few things.
Regarding performance, I haven't had any issues but I have a quite high end machine so it's not a good example.
The storyline is not yet finished, it's 9 chapters out of 12 yet.
Regarding bugs, I know of the notorious shield rush bug and otherwise I don't think I've had any. Aside from the game insisting on going back to fullscreen.

[restive epoch]

poe2? Idk, didnt really have any issues with it.... if you have any performance issues with LE, you can send your PC info and game logs to support so they can help out

[random tapir]

i have a 4070 super, amd ryzen 5 and 32gb ram, i think it was more that the game is "poorly optimised" but without playing it i have no idea for myself

[restive epoch]

I have roughly half of that 😕

[toxic echo]

the lack of updates was covered pretty well in the devs posts on their forums. things like...poe2 and an engine upgrade. id recommend going and giving that a read. currently waiting on april for a pretty big drop

campaign isnt dont, no. neither was poe1 for years after release. neither was d4 (and they made you pay for it)

performance wise...lots of people have 0 issues. and lots of people do. the recent engine upgrade, and extra time on this season should help with that. but no arpg is ever going to be 'fixed'.

[native dune]

You shouldn't have any issue with LE then.

The game surely isn't perfect, but it's clearly in my top list of ARPGs.

[random tapir]

also some people said that the dev team is ignoring fans but I didn't read too much into that cos literally every game i've ever played seems to have that issue 😆

[native dune]

PoE2 being rock bottom.

[restive epoch]

LE has probably the best touch with community 😄

[toxic echo]

the dev team literally pushed back 1.2 (partially) because fans wanted something different than what they were making.

idk how thats ignoring

[native dune]

They literally have a #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs where they answer every day the questions of the community.

[random tapir]

yeah i mean i'm just going on face value of reviews i've read, not making assumptions

the £30 pricetag is kinda steep for me so i'm just trynna get as much info as i can

[toxic echo]

the devs have no plans on having any paid expansions. all future content and classes are part of the base game

the only thing you pay for is cosmetics

there are no stash tabs to buy to actually play the game either. its all done ingame currency

the 30 you spend is it, unless you want to look special

[random tapir]

is my character gonna look ass unless i pay $$$? 😆

[toxic echo]

nah

not all the time

[restive epoch]

Some people often have issues with connecting to the servers.... idk whats exactly the problem since it runs perfectly fine for me like 99.999% time, but it seems they mostly solved that issue by restarting router/etc.... game itself runs fine BUT after few hours there is some sort of leak where it starts lagging quite a lot, but quitting and starting the game solves that (still annoying but it is what it is)

[toxic echo]

there are some, issues with some unique armors but thats a crazy amount of work

[random tapir]

LE or PoE2?

[toxic echo]

but most late game armor looks fine

but thats more up to your preference

[restive epoch]

LE

But with any issues, asking here or in general chat, someone will help for sure... or at least try 😄

[random tapir]

but that's entirely resolved by offline mode right?

[native dune]

Yes, and offline mode cannot use any shop cosmetic, so it solves the shop if you play in offline mode.

[toxic echo]

yea, true offline mode is all on your pc, no connection anything ever

[restive epoch]

True offline I guess yea, but never tried that myself... I thiiiink you can move your char to offline but not back online (surely that topic is somewhere explained by someone who knows) 😄

[toxic echo]

you cannot move either way

[random tapir]

ahhh so i couldn't hop back into online mode for leaderboards etc?

[toxic echo]

nope

[random tapir]

gotcha

yolo we ball i buy it 🙏🏻

[crude grotto]

Returning player here from 1.0. Releveled a DK in current season. Just unlocked empowered mono’s. Would someone be so kind and give me a TLDR of what to do next?

[icy drift]

You should have had to kill a harbinger and unlocked the shattered road area. If you didn't already, go there and pick up the forgotten Knights quest line. Once you have it you'll have to go to each of the timelines and fight their timeline boss at higher and higher corruption to fight a harbinger in each one. Once you've killed all 10 harbingers you'll unlock the pinnacle boss

Other than that it's the same as in 1.0

[crude grotto]

Yup I unlocked shattered road. How high of corruption to I shoot for?

[icy drift]

The quest should tell you what corruption you need to get to before killing the timeline boss

[harsh ravine]

Looking to set up a filter that covers a specific quiver with specific affixes at a specific tier level. I've made the base filter but I'm not entirely sure how to configure the advanced section properly. If I understand correctly but I don't understand what the second option "Total affix tiers of ...." means or how to set it up. I'm basically looking for items that have T5 or higher affixes. I'm looking for an item with at least 4of the 5 affixes. Here's is what I have so far. What do I need to complete the filter correctly ?

[crude grotto]

Gotcha typical gamer I didn’t read quest text

[icy drift]

If you open the factions menu you can also navigate to the forgotten Knights faction via the "endgame factions" tab and it'll tell you what timelines you still gotta do

You have to kill one harbinger in each timeline

[icy drift]

You really really really shouldn't look for 4 out of 5 affixes at at least tier 5, this is ungodly amounts of niche

As in this will never drop

The total affix tier of thing is for the total affix tier of the item. So if an item had a tier 5 affix, a tier 3 affix and a tier 4 affix it's total affix tier is 5+4+3 = 12

It's not something that's widely used, it's mostly for rune of shattering fodder

[harsh ravine]

Ah ok. So I can leave the total affix info blank.
So you would suggest I set the total no. of affixes on the same item to a more realsitic number like 3 ?
For the first option under Advanced - am I correct in that it means "show me stiff that has T5 or higher values of the affixes on the item ?

[icy drift]

Yes right now you're basically saying it needs 4 out of these 5 affixes and all of them need to be at least tier 5

I'd you wanna tell it to have 4 out of 5 affixes and at least one of them has to be tier 5 then you gotta do it in several rules

Are you at empowered yet?

If so I would recommend you filter for 1 out of 5 affixes at tier 6+, you can often craft the other 3 affixes on

The crafting in this game is very powerful, as long as the right base has a bis affix exalted it's usually worth picking up and crafting

[harsh ravine]

I’m in empowered. I’m chasing gear for a Rogue Marksman. My filters aren’t set properly so I’m missing gear to make life easier. I did get to level 97 and corruption 150 so far but the hodgepodge of gear is starting to sting badly. I posted in the Rogue channel and caused a heart attack 🤣
So now I’m trying to set up filters to get the necessary gear with necessary affixes

I like crafting in LE. I’ve come from Path of Exile land. I avoid crafting there like the plague. Here seems way more sane

One thing I don’t understand though. If I “only” get 1 affix out of the 4, how would I craft the rest. You can make space for an affix but you can’t change them all into something else as far as I’m aware (I really haven’t touch crafting till now)

[icy drift]

Yeah usually the go to is to filter specifically for the exalted affix and nothing else because the crafting is powerful enough that you can often just craft the rest on

[icy drift]

You can do several things like seal a low tier affix to free up a slot, use a removal and hope it doesn't hit the exalted to free up a slot or simply chaos an affix and hope it turns into a useful one

basically if it drops with let's say 3 affixes, 1 being the one you want and the 2 others being worthless there's a decent chance you can walk out with an item that has 4 affixes that you want, 1 of them being the exalted

all being at least tier 5 of course

Obviously you gotta get a bit lucky for that to happen but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, and as such your filter shouldn't hide it

here's an example of a rule i have in my filter

Mine shows items with good affixes no matter if they have a good base or not, but highlights the ones with a good base. The reason being i might want to slam a unique in that slot eventually and if i do the base doesn't matter.

But i never filter for more than 1 out of x affixes

because it's a waste of potentially BIS items if you do

and trust me even filtering for 1 out of x will be super strict especially if you have it set to tier 7 only like i have

[harsh ravine]

Thanks for all this. I need to sit down and go through it all. I’m not very patient so I tend to skip things till I really really need to figure stuff out.

You mentioned exalted affixes - that isn’t the item type exalted right - just the tier level correct ?

[icy drift]

well it's a little weird. If an item has at least one exalted affix (tier 6 or 7) it becomes an exalted rarity item, no matter how many affixes are on the item (normally white = 0 affixes, blue is 1-2 affixes and yellow is 3-4)

basically as soon as an item has one exalted affix the rarity is overriden and it becomes an exalted item

[harsh ravine]

That is a little weird but I'll go with it. I have a filter that filters out all normal, magic and set items at the moment (I can't see a use for Set items atm). So I will be picking up rares, exalts and uniques only

[icy drift]

yep

[harsh ravine]

What do you mean by "Good" in the filters. I sort of follow but I don't since I can't see the affixes that make up those rules

[icy drift]

good affixes for my build

so if i have a rule for 1 out of 5 affixes on gloves

i need to be happy with any of those 5 affixes being the exalted one on my gloves

[harsh ravine]

Ah ok. I guess I have been way to optomistic and greedy. BTW - you can't craft Idols correct ?

[icy drift]

If you mean why it's named that that's just me changing the name of the rule manually

[icy drift]

correct

[harsh ravine]

All your hide rules are below the recolour ones right ?

[icy drift]

correct, i only have one though

hides all items
