@formal dew Actually wait, it was increased to 40 seconds in patch 1.1.7.6. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-patch-1-1-7-6/74229

[formal dew]

Ok cool. thanks for the Info 🙂

[inner mountain]

wow i've been rushing way more than i needed to

[candid elm]

I didn't realize it had been changed either

The in game guide still says 20 https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/loot_lizard

[storm wren]

thanks, just know all of these curses come from acolyte's skills... Which I have used but never try curses from these skills

😅 Torment warlock (regular guides) let me lose interest on exploring their skills by myself

[candid elm]

Yeah I guess you can choose if you want another way to access those extra curses. Like I usually have the fissure passive that makes the fissure itself apply acid skin

[storm wren]

I know acid skin only, never try another two curses

[tribal meadow]

No longer a range?

[storm wren]

I suppose pearl of the swine will inspire me to try more warlock's builds 🤔

[random isle]

I’m a bit overwhelmed by all these new benches. Think an old fart will be able to figure them out easily? 🤣

[formal star]

Last Epoch on Linux-Question:
As a brand new player I want to prepare my linux system for the upcoming season 2. The game runs with with steam and proton experimental, but totally random the game/ graphics start to stutter slightly out of the blue. This can happen in the campaign-maps, as I am leveling, or just by opening your stash. The graphics stutter does not go away until i restart the game completly.
I am running an up to date Archlinux installation with AMD 7800 CPU and an AMD 7700 graphics card, 32GB RAM, Steam with Proton Experimental. I had the same problem with PoE1/ PoE2 back then but the problem disappeared when i switched from Ubuntu/ Mint to Archlinux. Oh, I am running Wayland/ Hyprland.
Maybe one of you had similar issues or can point me into into some direction that might help me.

[storm wren]

hah Tri's podcast remind me of a thing, we need a planner for weave echo passive tree

[storm wren]

A few nodes are what I planned to be collocated already so I want a planner to record my ideas

I want to remove many rewards from normal echoes as Karv said

I feel weaver echo passive tree in le is the feature that dual with altas passive tree in poe 2 because both of them is a passive tree let you to custom your endgame experience.

sigh, we want to know the secret of lizard's tails please :(

holy this is a big surprise. Thanks

[fading verge]

Did they fix the endgame at all? Buddy said that was one of the big issues with the game.

[toxic echo]

that is literally what this entire patch is about. feel free to read about it in all the #news posts

[vestal jetty]

I thought it was a bonus and the patch was all about making Sentinel great again

[night kiln]

When a skill node says "deals X% more damage" does that apply to ailments inflicted by that skill?

[desert tree]

Yes

[random isle]

Dev said there's a screenshot with all woven echoes from most to least encountered but i cant find it, anyone have it? XD

[toxic echo]

sentinel was mostly a bonus just cuz of the VR changes. this patch is really all about weaver and endgame

[lapis topaz]

Never had any similar issues in poe1 or poe2 or last epoch or really any other game I played. I also never used wayland. Coincidence? I always see a lot of people experiencing bugs with wayland in games, especially with hyperland.

[faint cape]

The outcome text shows what you rolled on the craft you just did. It rolled within a range.

[formal star]

Poe1/ Poe" run great now, and but after the PoE2-debacle right now, I really would love to give Last Epoch a go right now. The earlier problems with PoE seemed to be with the Steampackages in the Ubuntu-repos which went away with the switch to Archlinux.
It is completly possible, that LE and Wayland/Hyprland have some problems but I have no clue how to verify that. I only know for sure, that I will not return to that eyesore called Windows 11 😉

[proper pelican]

Has there been any improvement to leveling alts? I haven't kept myself informed to be honest but that was always the hardest part for me was having to re-do the whole story again

[surreal verge]

Other than properly learning how to do alt runs in 5 hours, not really.

[toxic echo]

there have been improvements. but you still need to do the story

[faint cape]

Any screenshot of the woven echo inventory. Tiers are separated in columns/groups from left to right (low/common to high/rare)

[long terrace]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWd9ZE__A5g Im playing this build and in the description of the video, the content creator says frozen ire is better than wand in terms of damage even unslammed (more preciselly he says base damage of frosbite). I dont understand why? Can anyone explains it to me ?

its cold acid flask falconer btw

[faint cape]

You don't need to redo the entire story, just some (even for first char). On alts you won't need to do regular monos anymore and you won't need to reach ch9 to get to your faction outpost.

[faint cape]

Frostbite doesn't deal spell damage, so it mainly scales from %cold and freeze rate (due to your boots)

[wispy crane]

Is the game really getting a nice update or is it bait

[surreal verge]

Considering a whole base class is getting major changes, and a whole new end game content island, yes.

[long terrace]

yeah i understand how it scales but how sceptre can be better even unslammed? a wand can has more %cold/damage over time and freeze rate multi than frozen ire, isnt it?

[storm wren]

My feeling after watched Tri's dev stream:

Let me try these new contents as soon as possible, no more spoilers, just let me try thanks

🤔

[lapis topaz]

One way to verify would be to install x if it's not already installed along with DE that supports x, and then launch a session of that instead of wayland/hyperland when you login. Then see if the issue remains.
Other things that may potentially cause issues might be resolved by trying a different proton version or updating your drivers. I'd assume being on arch that your drivers are already up to date but it never hurts to make sure.

[south plover]

What do you mean by this?

[formal star]

Good idea, i will try to install XFCE with Xserver parallel to my setup and see what happens. Otherwise my drivers/ system is up to date.

[vestal jetty]

Glad to see you got help 🙂

[teal trail]

How do I get dungeon keys?

[tribal meadow]

Yea, it's been too long since I last played, thanks

[surreal verge]

Most commonly drop from monolith boss kills.

[formal dew]

Kill stuff. or as echo rewards

[surreal verge]

The key echo reward only ever drops arena keys, never dungeon keys.

[formal dew]

Ah Nvm me then, never payed attention to what kinda key it pays out i guess xD

[teal trail]

Kills stuff - mostly or only in monos?

[surreal verge]

Any mob, at a very low rate. If you want keys NOW, a quest echo boss is still the most reliable.

[faint cape]

I'm not sure. It's better than a rare wand, but great exalted is questionable. The tundra nova procs can apply more frostbites, I'm just not sure how well all of it goes for the specific build you're looking at.

[astral orchid]

Is the new weaver faction an option you take instead of CoF for traders? Or is it seperate

[desert tree]

Separate

@viscid mason sorry for the ping
Do you mind if we DM?

[candid elm]

It's like how you can have both CoF and Harbinger factions. This post has details on the Woven faction https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/the-woven-faction-monolith-updates-coming-to-last-epoch-april-17th/75147

[tight gale]

do we know how rare havoc is?

[dusky kite]

it's the biggest update since 0.7

[teal trail]

I'm sorry, but how am I suppose to progress from here. The quest states Travel to Thetima, but here is nothing to interact with

[toxic echo]

well thats not thetima

keep following the path north

and west

[dusky kite]

move to the upper left of the map

see those blue blurry edges? that's unexplored parts

ah I see he didn't talk to liath

whose portal is blocking the path

and also unlocks the entrance to this tower for a side quest

[south plover]

The tower that’s it! Thank you lol

[teal trail]

Thanks, there was an npc I had to talk to despite the map pinning at this location beforehand

[thorny terrace]

Does doing nemesis egg at higher corruption effect the outcome of empower?

[astral mirage]

I haven't really played LE since the launch I know this is not the brightest question, but what is the current state of the game and do you recommend getting back into it ?

[dusky kite]

hard to describe in 2 words. But if you wish, the current state is pretty damn stale cause of a 9 month season we just had but the new patch seems to make up for it

[fading verge]

I usually just do the new league in poe with trade, is there something specific I need to choose in LE when looking to get into a similar type league where you can trade with players?

[storm wren]

select merchant guild when the game ask you choose one faction.

[tribal meadow]

Current state is waiting for Season 2 to release because it brings a ton of new activities to the end game - LE is a good game, but there's not much variety in the end game, Season 2 fixes that

[daring dock]

do u know if these leveling builds on maxroll gonna perform well on the 17th? or is the game gonna change to many stuffs

[candid elm]

We don't know yet. The patch notes are going to be on the 11th

[daring dock]

oo ok

do u think ppl already put out some leveling guides? i hate making my own builds cause i suck at it

after the 11th

[astral mirage]

when i played at launch i went to the other guild not the merchant guild forget what it was it had those fate thingies, is that still a viable approach i remember that we were able to switch guilds albeit not carrying the rank.

[desert tree]

Maxroll will have update lvling guide, half of them are on the ct

[waxen mango]

whats the best way to find out where my lack of dmg is coming from like my weapon, gear, etc cause im lost rn

[dusky kite]

they will probably publish updated guides once the patch notes drop, I'd wager a lot of their authors are still in closed beta but are currently bound by NDA

[daring dock]

whats ct

[dusky kite]

depends on your build, you can import it on LE tools and link to us so we could have a look

[desert tree]

Like testing beta server

[daring dock]

interesting okay thats good news to me then

[dusky kite]

if you want to analyze it, you need to establish what your main source of damage is (or at least supposed to be) and see how your gear scales it (or doesn't). Which can be not so transparent for a new player I guess

since tools like combat logging or sims dont exist in the game, you'd be hard pressed to find real data to analyze, gotta get into the reverse engineering

[dusky kite]

minmaxers who want to speedrun the game in 2 days shit on COF but it's a perfectly fine way of playing the game. Of course it's behind just buying your items when it comes to speed and targeting specific items, but it's workable and even has some advantages at endgame if you minmax it. Plenty of hardcore (as in the level of effort) players use it

[waxen mango]

ah right ok ill figure out how to upload my build to le tools and ill sc or link for help thank you

[dusky kite]

go to the build planner and click import on the left

then save/share

[waxen mango]

There we go

[dusky kite]

let's move over to the primalist channel I guess with the more class-specific discussion

[halcyon dust]

is it worth by anything farming nemesis on bigger corruption? does he give better items / upgrades on empower?

he indeed gets harder with bigger corruption.. so it would make sense that he has better reward chances, right?

[clear rain]

a few friends started to play the game, i don't have a character at the moment on the online mode in the cycle, i was playing offline, but on online mode i have legacy characters, can i join them in cycle with me Legacy character?

[teal trail]

Should I choose a spell damage affix or lightning damage affix? How do their ranges compare and how would I know which is the best choice? (I am playing lightning of course)

[pearl epoch]

What does it mean when you craft and it says critical success and the thing is 1 rank higher? Does that mean a tier 2 is actually a tier 3? I thought it'd skip the next tier. Like a 1 would become a 3, but it was still a 2.

[formal dew]

on a crit crafting success you upgrade 2 tiers instead of 1

[pearl epoch]

Odd, why would it say the thing only went from Tier 1 to TIer 2?

[formal dew]

another stat went up maybe?

[pearl epoch]

It can from any crafting attempt?

[earnest garden]

you can compare ranges of affixes with advanced tooltips, but in general the more specific an affix the bigger the range it will have

[dusky kite]

for lightning spells the two are quivalent so just pick the one with a higher value

[dusky kite]

it can give +1 tier to a different affix than the one you were upgrading

[pearl epoch]

Ahh. Okay! Thanks. 😄

[formal dew]

How does nemesis slamming 0Lp's work? is it completely random stats?(that can apply to the slot type) that get added

[teal trail]

I am in the forge, so I don't know the range a tier 1 affix will have or can I see it somewhere?

[pearl epoch]

Spell Damage will affect your non-lightning spells too.

[teal trail]

True

[dusky kite]

and lightning will affect your non-spell lightning skills

[pearl epoch]

True!

[dusky kite]

but for optimizing a build you might want to avoid spreading your damage either across elements or across different types of attacks

[dusky kite]

hmm been a while since I checked it in the forge but if holding alt, ctrl, or alt+ctrl while mousing it over doesn't work, then I guess you can't from the forge UI

and certainly it won't show you breakdown of values by tier

you can check that on a site like le tools

[teal trail]

It shows this, but yet nothing extra appears

[dusky kite]

yea maybe it doesn't work in the forge UI, I honestly can't remember

off the top of my head lightning rolls should be higher than for spell damage

[teal trail]

I expect it to be, since it is more specific

I confirmed on random items, they are the same 😅

Again, just to confirm the fact

[dusky kite]

rip

[south plover]

Also don’t forget to check elemental damage lol

[dusky kite]

ele damage has like turbo shit rolls

[oblique geyser]

just reading through the post about itemization in the next patch....thats sound so awesome and like whole lots of new dungeons or so 😊 but i have a question about rune of weaving. so it takes weavers will and increases affix tiers on a item....but wont the item then become something you can put in to nemesis to get legendary potential? 🤔

[dusky kite]

ele dot though has turbo pumped rolls

[dusky kite]

you can't put legendary items into the nemesis. A ww item with some of its ww converted to affixes is legendary

[oblique geyser]

oh it becomes legendary...yeah was thinking about something to mark it as impossible for nemesis...it was more like hoping it could somehow become even stronger 😇

another question to this rune of havoc and rune of redemption...these still need forge potential on an item to work?

[formal dew]

Yes they apply standard crafting rules AFAIK

[dusky kite]

sure

I think they said that both of these are 1-20

[shut walrus]

so ive done a lot of monos and managed to get to 700 corruption but havent done any arenas or dungeons. how do i get started on them?

[formal dew]

right click one of the keys it'll take you there on the map

[oblique geyser]

right clicking a key takes you to the place? like when you are in end of time that works? 🙀 i always have trouble finding the dungeons and the arena in the right area / timeline 😅

from the post today: Dread Shade no longer has a duration. .....so with the node that dread shade no longer decays life...dread shade stays forever? i think there was this node on dread shade >.>

[buoyant sinew]

that node may have changed, we don't know yet. patch notes in 2 days

[oblique geyser]

true that can be possible. i just dont like to cast something every few seconds myself 😇 on the other hand...im not sure what im complaining about.. like my acylote summoner can freely walk through lvl 100 monolith with 50 corruption to do infinite random areas.... essentially all i ask for since higher corruption just means higher numbers but the fun slaying monsters stays the same 🤷‍♀️

[outer saddle]

what's the point of doing optional echoes in empowered monos?

[oblique geyser]

what do you mean with optional echoes?

[toxic echo]

there isnt anymore

[outer saddle]

optional quest echoes

[toxic echo]

there isnt a point anymore

[outer saddle]

ohh ok, got it thanks

[toxic echo]

all g

[fickle edge]

I just started playing this game a day ago... and I'm worried I bricked my first act 2 quest. I teleported to the Act 2 zone I'm on the "explore your surroundings" step of The Last Refuge and I quit out before getting to a way point I guess...now I can't seem to get back to that zone

Edit: different era different waypoint. I am not well versed in eras

[sage dagger]

hey all, did they say a time for the release date? i didnt find anything for Cycle 2 and i dont remember Cycle 1's time the server went live.

[south plover]

12 noon est or click on vlads name on the right for your local time zone

[sage dagger]

ah gotcha, thanks!

[south plover]

No problem happy gaming

[sage dagger]

ah, i guess that lines up with everything dropping at their namesake, 11th hour (central)

lmao

[shut walrus]

where do i see the leaderboard for arenas?

i just died at wave 168

is this leaderboard for SSF?

[pearl epoch]

What are Arena keys for? >.>

[dusky kite]

you won't guess it, entering arena

as in, the separate arena instances, not the nodes you find in monos

[pearl epoch]

<.< Figured that, but I guess better question is. "What is the Arena?"

[dusky kite]

dumpster fire is what it is

basically you have infinite arena that has no real drops and exists for ladder

[pearl epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/excited-fuego-gif-26833875

[dusky kite]

and limited arena where after 40 waves you fight a boss

except that it's slow, boring, the loot is shit, and the bosses are bland and obnoxious

avoid if you can

although they claimed to have improved it in 1.2, we have no details yet

most importantly nothing of value drops there other than one unique that sees marginal play

[pearl epoch]

Ahhh. Ah well.

No need to go for Arena keys then.

[shut walrus]

im wondering that in the pic the leaderboard is for SSF or just for people who solo the arena

[dusky kite]

no idea, I don't do endless arena nor ladders

probably just for 1 man arenas

[solemn prawn]

I just killed Harbinger after the Shamans, he gave me Harbinger Eye.
I came at this door, right clicked on the Eye and it's now gone.

By my quest I also don't udnerstand what this is.

Can I get help ?

[toxic echo]

that door only truly unlocks after killing all ten harbingers

should be able to take the eye back out of the door tho

[solemn prawn]

Nope, its not there

[toxic echo]

then rmb shouldnt have done anything to it

it doesnt seem like its on the ground anywhere

[solemn prawn]

No, it is not I disabled loot filter too just in case

[toxic echo]

try putting something from your stash on teh ground and picking it up

see if its ghosted on your cursor

[solemn prawn]

It is not

[toxic echo]

the only other option is resetting the client and seeing if the server puts it back into your inventory

[solemn prawn]

How do I open a ticket for that, I think I need this Eye

[toxic echo]

you do kinda, but you get more

they are like dungeon keys

but just for the boss fight

so losing one doesnt really matter too much. its just mild time loss

[solemn prawn]

Well its first I got in 100hrs I kinda want it back

:/

[toxic echo]

the first ten different harbs you kill have 100% drop chance for the eyes

[solemn prawn]

Well I already lost one due to a bug

Ok, how to proceed wit hthe quest

what is asked of me

Vew the Forgotten Knights Faction Panel

[toxic echo]

yep, view that, and itll tell you what corr you need to kill the next one at

should also pop up in your quest log

[solemn prawn]

Idk what is to few

view*

[toxic echo]

y

[hexed wasp]

is it just me as i see people are playing atm, ive tried restarting a bunch

[toxic echo]

try killing steam while the game is off, it does weird stuff sometimes.

if it persists after that, lemme know what server you on

[solemn prawn]

@toxic echo I got it, Ok how can I open a ticket here in dsicord about my bug ?

[toxic echo]

no, you would do it ingame thru teh esc menu

[solemn prawn]

ok

[quick apex]

Is the woven faction a 3rd choice yeah? Not alongside the other 2? I gather that means everyone will be going the new one right?

[toxic echo]

it is not an item faction. everyone gets it. just like knights

[earnest garden]

tbh i kinda hate that the harbingers and woven are called "factions", but what can we do about it

[formal dew]

Can some talk to me about how Nemesis egging 0Lps works? in terms of what stats roll and how does it compare to a guaranteed T7 slam in 1.2

[hexed wasp]

did a steam shut down and reset and now i cant even find a region

[earnest garden]

nemesis is just pure random, it will never compare to a guaranteed slam unless you win the lottery

spoiler alert: you wont win the lottery

[formal dew]

so it pulls from all affixes that roll on that item slot?

[earnest garden]

think of it similar to weavers will but instant

[solemn prawn]

@toxic echo Why did I have to fight a harbinger so sudden after the Shamans, and It is a bit hard to understand now what is next. Game is very unclear at the end game

I get these 100lvl now zones and I hear about corruption and emopowerment but no clue what these are

[earnest garden]

you get the first harbinger encounter when you fight your third of the final three (lvl 90) timelines there

[fast hull]

Just logged on after not logging in in months and cant use my merchant guild gear. it looks like my merchant guild rank didn't go to standard. is that expected?

[solemn prawn]

Yes and I whooped his ass, got the Key nad it got lost lol

[toxic echo]

your last lvl 90 spawns a harb and unlocks empowered. in the knights faction panel, it tells you which timelines you still need to kill a harb in

[formal dew]

you can transfer gold, crafting materials and faction rank from a button in ur stash

[toxic echo]

you are now in "endgame"

you go whereever you wanna go and farm we you wanna farm

[solemn prawn]

I see, okay, I opened a ticket. I am yes seems cool, do I have to go back and do some of my low level monoliths ?

I skipped a few because I was strong

[toxic echo]

you dont have to, but you can. most people just stay in empowered timelines once its unlocked

up to you

[fast hull]

Thank you that was it ❤️

[solemn prawn]

I see ok ty

So now here I can farm boses with the Gaze ?

[formal dew]

i had the same issue, jsut learned this today lol

[toxic echo]

yeah. you can do w/e ya want now. eventually you want more corr tofinish off the harb quest but there isnt a rush on it

unless you are trying to get done before s2

[toxic echo]

i dont have a good answer for ya. sorry. everything seems fine here. so outside of something between you and the game server i dont really know

[hexed wasp]

alright thanks for looking

[solemn prawn]

@toxic echo

Am I doing good as a first char hehe

[toxic echo]

warpath is pretty solid. and if you are into empowered on the first toon, better than quite a lot of people for sure

[solemn prawn]

I even beat the Harbinger with 22k dps sheet, because removing my armor had removed two points off my skill lol

[delicate matrix]

Hola, there is a bug in offline mode, where you 'snap back' or 'rubberband' when trying to evade with (2) charges. Does anyone know if this has been addressed anywhere?

[faint cape]

Pretty sure they know about that one and it will hopefully be addressed in a few days

[delicate matrix]

thats good to know - thank you

[solemn prawn]

@toxic echo What is the difference between Melee Critical Strike Chance and Critical Strike Chance

Also do you know if critical strike is considered in the Flat sheet dmg

[toxic echo]

one is only used for melee attacks. one is used for everything.

is it considered in the tooltip display dmg? yes, but the tooltip is generally unreliable for actual dps

[solemn prawn]

I am just comparing some values altho yes I dont take it as face value

[faint cape]

+X% (melee) critical strike chance is flat, X% increased (melee) critical strike chance is not flat.
For weapon affixes, the melee crit affix is flat crit and the generic crit affix is increased.

[solemn prawn]

[lavish saffron]

Can I get a real rough honest opinion of this game? like the good and the bad

POE2 is feeling a bit rough right now and LE seems to be getting some good praise lately

[south plover]

the good: itemization, skills, the world around you, campaign, endgame, CRAFTING, the masteries, listens to what the community wants. stash for in game gold not real monies, i could spend all day doing this lol

the bad: most of it is being fixed for S2 lol i honestly can't think of bad things except for a few bugs that are already addressed as issues being fixed...oh i would like sound options for filters but thats not game breaking enough to not enjoy it

[lavish saffron]

hows build variety/balance? Is it open ended or does it end up narrowing down to 3-5 builds dominating

[south plover]

build what you want as long as you can read and match scaling tags really

[lavish saffron]

is there an out of game build calculator?

[south plover]

people will always find a "dominating" class and mastery but its very few and far between

lastepochtools.com

[faint cape]

It's not as complicated as PoE, but still has some good depth to character building. End game depth is lacking, but the new season is adding a lot to that, looks great. There are some OP builds, but the disparity is usually not nearly on the level PoE has, you can do all content if you put some effort into making a good build and getting gear for it.
LE Tools is the main planner, it's not as in depth as PoB, but it does have some calculations it does, mainly for defenses.

Oh and I guess specifically compared to PoE 2, the enemies don't move 10 times faster than you here. Over all it's a very good game, all things considered, and the new update looks pretty hype.

[lavish saffron]

swarmblade looks sick, with an ability like that is it possible to build urself to a point endgame where you can maintain the form infinitely and not run out of rage?

oh my biggest question probably, is this the type of game where its 1 ability and then supporting things to carry it, or are you usually rotating between 3-4 abilities to maximize output

[faint cape]

Yes, the most common way to play druid is to pick a form and stay in it permanently. Swarmblade has locust swarm that feels a bit like BV, which I personally like quite a bit.
There's a mix depending on what build you do. It tends to lean toward a main ability plus support, but the support isn't all 100% passive auras, often times they are more like a movement skill, a defensive skill, and maybe a mix of buffs/procs/combos, all depending on build. A lot of top builds do short combos I think.

[south plover]

honeslty could be either way, you could use one ability to dominate by focusing on auras or passives, or you could multi button to add different debuffs to them for your main ability to shred

[lavish saffron]

spellblade looked neat with firebrand and that unique fire to lightning conversion

I'll have to keep the game in mind, is there a patch notes for everything s2 is bringing?

[south plover]

on April 11th they will be available to the public

[lavish saffron]

kk

[quasi oriole]

Is campaign skip something that would be available on a first character in the new season? Or does it require a full clear for the first character in each season?

[faint cape]

There is no full campaign skip. However, you never really have to do the whole campaign, you just need to get your idol slots and passives from quest rewards, which is maybe roughly 2/3rds of the current campaign.

[quasi oriole]

Right, sorry, I just meant the skips that are currently available. Not sure if I'm watching older videos that are out of date or something, but some mention that you have to have a character that has cleared the campaign to do it

[blazing glacier]

You might be talking about dungeon skips?

[quasi oriole]

Yeah.

[blazing glacier]

iirc you can do it on your first character, but I am guessing most people won't be strong enough to justify doing it on a non-alt

plus I don't even know if it would be faster to get your 8/8 passives and 15/15 passives. You could do those in ~2 hours with the temporal sanctum waypoint unlocked, then go run temp sanctum when you get the key to go straight to act 9 to grab faction

[south plover]

Right and unless you have someone with a key you can’t do the skips as you won’t find a key very early on in the game

[blazing glacier]

that too

[quasi oriole]

Gotcha. Thank you!!

[faint cape]

Yeah, the keys don't start dropping until you are past the point that the dungeon entrance is in campaign

however, you can pop out to monos partway through the campaign which is a high level to start working your way through there until you get the key you need for a skip - I usually would do that after reaching Oracle's Abode, get Temporal Sanctum key from monos, then come back for the skip. Not sure I'll do that much anymore with normal mono progress shared now.

[humble epoch]

what's a harbinger?

also does this mean the weapon upgrades in rarity?

[faint cape]

Harbingers are big endgame bosses, the "upgrade" replaces that affix with a specific one based on the type of weapon it is

[median coyote]

Anyone decide on a class for 1.2 yet, or is everyone pretty much waiting for the full patch notes before making a decision?

[pearl epoch]

Does Critical Strike Chance and Spell Critical Strike chance overlap? And what's the difference? Also is it worth it to build up Critical Damage% or whatever that one is?

[vale thistle]

they do the same thing, spell crit has higher affix ranges on gear in exchange for.. well, only working for spells

and yes, you want crit damage on any crit build

[faint cape]

I've tentatively decided VK, but yeah patch notes could possibly overturn it, never know.

[vale thistle]

electrify javelin paladin here, fingers crossed it's good and fun

[faint cape]

It should be, I mean bare minimum it'll look super cool

Hybrid crit + electrify pally is up on my list of things to try to make use of the new nodes. Probably a Tu'rani build

[pearl epoch]

Might go Warlock here.

That or Void Knight.

[shrewd field]

Heyo, I played and finished the campaign at launch and then stopped playing, when S2 comes around am I able to do the dungeons to skip the campaign or does the season always need 1 character to finish the campaign?

[quick apex]

Whats knights? Sorry.

[storm wren]

You can skip that by doing dungeons directly

[faint cape]

If you play legacy, you can just continue on current chars and/or use whatever leveling stuff you have.
If you want to play on a fresh start in the cycle, you won't get to skip anything exactly, but you also don't really need to finish campaign.

[dawn warren]

gonna cook my own builds like usual and probably fail but i'm decided on an vengeance based paladin most likely

[faint cape]

The Forgotten Knights, it's another engame faction like The Woven, but more end game. It's the quest to kill all the harbingers.

[storm wren]

I want +1 all attributes so I complete the campaign per character

[dawn warren]

takes a couple of hours to speedrun the campaign per alt anyway

[vital steeple]

have a character wearing a cof lvl 4 items
hadnt played it in forever
it's telling me i'm cof lvl 1 now
what's the fix already?
(was in cycle in 1.0, is in legacy now)

[vale thistle]

go to your stash, merge, relog

[storm wren]

I want a solution about items come from cycle stash can deliver to legacy stash manually only if we talking about the transition on cycle & legacy because no one want to spend 2h to move all of their loots from the cycle and build a new stash system.

[left mountain]

Is the new "Scissor of Atropos" sword effect something you can get dual wield and get effectively 4x the effect from? One hit = 2 stacks of Kismet, each stack granting 16 crit/flat damage for 32 total?

[grand shoal]

Easy solution: Play seasonal chars 🙂

[storm wren]

It's make sense so I guess EHG don't know why I'm struggled with this point specially...

I wonder what the name of this doll by the way. It's so cute.

Things I suppose it's time-consuming and no sense maybe are why EHG want players to enjoy the game in that way. Many culture barriers or... just differences on "how should we enjoy playing a ARPG".

[grand shoal]

First of a language barrier ^^

[storm wren]

Or just logic barrier

[grand shoal]

Just think about the long term factor, if your stash would just move to legacy. If you had always 200 tabs, you would now have 600 tabs in legacy.
The problem is easy to see, or?

I couldn't even imagine to start into S2 with all the stuff I gathered in 1.1.7 alone, what a powerstart, that wouldn't be fun for me

[storm wren]

Maybe what I care about is

"Holy why these streamers have so many items in their cycle stash, what are they played is cycle characters! It mean everything will be gone after a new cycle is out! But they're still willing to accept this truth and work the best to build their stash... What's wrong with my mind?"

Aggressive logic I have always... No idea what am I want to compare even sometimes, I just want to compare.

[sage sigil]

Can unbalanced scale target or hit same monster that i'm targeting with smite? Or is it just targeting different monsters around smite prime target?

[outer jay]

I want to play rogue next patch because heartseeker seems like a cool ability but hows the survivability on rogue?

[sonic saddle]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
Just responding to this here: the numlock trick is a feature of how windows works, not anything to do with LE

The devs essentially ignore it for balancing and whatnot

[twin sandal]

I havent played since 1.0. Whenever i login to my old characters, every piece of gear has an X on it and says im not high enough rank? 👀

[grand shoal]

Merge your stash and relog 🪄

[outer saddle]

I just reached harbingers for the first time. However I have a bit of an issue killing my 2nd harbinger. It's the spinning type one, and I have maxed res and 1k health approx (lvl 80 or so) as a forgemaster fw build, with apathy's maw, 2 phantom grips and good enough equipment. I got 2 shotted by its spells tho. Is my level too low, or this difficulty is just expected & I need to git gud?

[grand shoal]

2nd Harbinger means empowered right?

Maxed resist is more a default here and 1k HP is superlow for that part of the game. You should aim here for 2-2,5k rather.

Also you should bring now additional defense layers in place if you want to raise the corruption level.

Perhaps #🔱┃sentinel is a good place to drop your build and ask for tips

[outer saddle]

Yes correct. I mean I'm a minion build, so I don't exactly tank stuff. Good to know that baseline of 2-2.5 k tho.

Also wdym by additional defense layers?

[grand shoal]

Armor, Block, dodge, damage reduction etc. Whatever in your buiöd makes sense

[outer saddle]

Ok understood, I try to make it work somehow. Thanks a lot

[sonic saddle]

What minion build? Cos if you're doing anything bm then you still gotta tank stuff

[outer saddle]

Forged weapons

[sonic saddle]

You spawn those by attacking in melee no?

[outer saddle]

Oh I use warpath

[grand shoal]

Crit protection is also a basic thing you should bring in empowered. As HP build also add Endurance

[grand shoal]

Consider yourself defense wise as melee 😄

[sonic saddle]

Yeeeeah

[outer saddle]

I mean I generate fw from far away, never actually getting inti melee. I guess I can see the problem though, since my leech is effectively dead by doing this, so I got no sustain

[sonic saddle]

That is an issue into itself

No build works without sustain

[outer saddle]

True

[sonic saddle]

Even if a boss does >50% of your ehp every hit, if your sustain puts you to full between hits you're still never gonna die

[alpine pendant]

When converting dodge into armor what order is it done in?

1. flat dodge changes into armor and gets increased armor multiplier applied to it
2. flat dodge gets increased dodge multiplier applied to it and changes into armor (that doesnt get increased armor)

[outer saddle]

Ya correct. I'm gonna try respeccing to a multistrike + hh build, just to see how it's like. Since doubling my health seems to be a bit of a tall order

[sonic saddle]

It isn't

And 2k hp is like... not even high

Melee life based should generally go for like 3k hp

More if running a 2h

[outer saddle]

What are the target equipment?

[sonic saddle]

%increased health on helmet and chest, generally belt if you don't need cooldown reductiin, hybrid health on belt/boots/gloves

Fitting as much added flat hp on jewelery/relic as you can

Health in idols where you have the room

Health on the passive tree

In terms of uniques titan heart chest if you're running a 2h weapon

[outer saddle]

Does titan heart block potion?

Or hh?

[sonic saddle]

No, just health regen

[outer saddle]

Cool

I do have a spare copy

Resistances are mostly on blessings right?

Since I currently have lots of idols focused on them

[sonic saddle]

Resists should mainly be on jewelery/relic implicits and suffixes

Filled in with idol/passive tree/blessing sources

[outer saddle]

Got it, thanks a lot man

[outer saddle]

Btw I have a bit of an issue with your scorpion build. Most of the time he doesn't take any damage for me to spam blessings. Any way of me damaging him?

[formal star]

Newbie-Question about Lootfilter:
I am just using my first loot filter and I was wondering, if i can somehow inspect dropped glowing indicated tems that are "prohibited" by the lootfilter, so check, if it is working properly. Is there a hotkey for temporarly en-/disabling the lootfilter?

[dusky kite]

actually your eye was likely placed into the key slot on the altar, except that it's locked in the UI cause you haven't met the condition yet. When you kill all 10 harbs and unlock aby you are likely to find your eye slotted into it already

[leaden basin]

X, if I understood the question

[opal nest]

For Merchant Guild,
Does selling/buying things can increase the faction rank?

[formal star]

That was exactly what I was looking for!

[dusky kite]

it's both, compared to many other games LE is generally on the easy side until you start pushing endgame, which heavily contributes to the variety of viable builds. Dev set standards for build power are pretty low and way below what the community considers to be the true benchmark

[tranquil vapor]

is 3 LP quite rare or not ? i wonder if i get like 2 or 3 LP item i want to use for my build if its worth trying to fuse it with smth

[dusky kite]

this is the common assumption for transformation skills, with a bit of investment you can permanently stay in any of the forms

[fluid python]

guys , sorry for the dumb question . didnt play the 1.1 / last cycle, the harbinger faction are going core ? someone could explain me how the factions are going to work with each new cycles?

[dusky kite]

you just need dungeon keys, but there is little realistic possibility for you to drop a TS key in time to leverage that skip on your fist character since key drops are fairly high level

[outer saddle]

You only need to choose between cof & mg. Others are available as you unlock their requirements

[fluid python]

ooh , niice.

[dusky kite]

2-2,5k in a health build is still low, you want to aim more for 3-4k with other defensive layers included

[terse wasp]

Does offline mode have any diffrence than online ssf other than leaderboards ?

[dusky kite]

depends on the item, all unique items have something called legendary potential level which determines how easily they get LP values. LPL doesn't always correlate with the item's level. TLDR is that 3 lp is helluva rare for most items, but for some of the most "easy" it's relatively common

for example last patch I played fairly little yet I still have a few 3-4 LP Grimoires of Necrotic Elixirs

[surreal verge]

Spending favor increases rank, so yes.

[dusky kite]

you can edit your character since it's stored locally in a file, also cosmetics don't work in offline. Otherwise not really

[rigid torrent]

for the devs to see, since i cant post it in the ask the devs 🤭

[wooden ermine]

Hello guys, how does damage over time and critting work in this game please? Can I crit with DoT / is DoT affected by crit chance or multiplier in any way?

[surreal verge]

DoT cannot crit.

[jagged rivet]

What will I miss if I do not play the current cycle? (Even the next one on April 17).

Will there be content exclusively found in the current cycle compared to the legacy one?

[timber wasp]

i believe the only thing you would miss out on if youre on legacy, is level/arena ladders

all new content is 100% going to legacy too

and MG trade is separated

[dusky kite]

nothing

everything in both the current and the next patches is base game

[tacit steppe]

Looking for a solid all around (not glas canon)

1. Marksman Heartseaker or 2. Shaman Thorns Totem into storm totems?

Possible to make marksman fairly tanky?

[jagged rivet]

So I can just play and make a Sentinel in legacy now and I will miss out nothing when April 17 hits

[timber wasp]

if youre choosing CoF you will miss out on nothing (except ladders)
if youre choosing MG you will not see the items that the seasonal players find, only the items that other legacy players have/will find

outside of those things, Yes, you could start on legacy now and receive the new content on the 17th as well

[rigid torrent]

BinaQc tornado might be the best (beginner friendly) starter, with the warcry and tornado buff. but its a personal opinion ofc 🤭

[native sail]

MM has a tendency to be squishy due to it having extreme range and (at least before lots of power creep in past couple patches) high damage. We'll see tomorrow if they address its low defensive ability this patch.

[stable cairn]

If I really like trading as a part of arpgs, im guessing the market would feel extremely dead on the legacy league?

[native sail]

Proooobably.

[timber wasp]

yeah pretty much

and overvalued for high end items

[upper raven]

Are they going to add any new classes anytime in the future. New to this discord and the game

[native sail]

Eventually™️

[opaque quest]

🤔 Wanting to go in mostly blind, I barely played a year ago - anything that's permanently brickable, like a quest reward? Also How are minions?

[native sail]

Nothing permanently brickable. Minions are quite good.

[opaque quest]

Cheers mate~

[native sail]

No problem o7

[dusky kite]

don't hold your breath but they said it will eventually happen

[native sail]

IIRC Mike's statement was "we'll get fourth masteries before a new base class but it'll be a decent while"

[tranquil vapor]

What is best class to make like Unkillable resistant character?

i am trying to make like a big tank with alot of hp , ward etc 😄

[dusky kite]

the most OP one, which we don't know yet since the patch notes arent out

but they've been hammering down the immortal op ward for a while by now

[native sail]

Also don't aim for unkillable, that's rather difficult to hit

[dusky kite]

if you mean "fair" tanky character than perhaps something like consecrated ground paladin but it's a far cry from the OP ward builds

[fallen mauve]

can't be killed if nothing is alive on your screen

[surreal verge]

Unkillable is hard to hit when enemies have an endless difficulty slider.

[native sail]

Nah I'd win

[tranquil vapor]

So rather go for clearing monster with some HP / ward regen ?

[fallen mauve]

depend on your base class pick since passive will matter

[tranquil vapor]

i thought also some patch notes WERE out , but i guess only small part?

[sonic saddle]

Sort i guess, but yeah, only a small part

[surreal verge]

If I were a sane person, I wouldn't trust any builds and tier lists that are made using patch notes with no testing, let alone previews.

[native sail]

A very small amount, mostly for some slight skill changes. Not enough to go off of.

[vale thistle]

If just tanking everything with no particular concern for any other aspect of your build is the goal, Rebuke + Apostate's Sanctuary is pretty funny. Nobody actually plays it, but it definitely exists.

[tranquil vapor]

Did they say they plan to Re-DO some big stuff ? Apart from like that one rework ?

I got back into the game after i spent so much time whn it launched , got my lvl 90 Wraithlord build and after that i got big pause

[surreal verge]

Other than the sentinel changes, not for this season.
Lich is up next for season 3/1.3

[dusky kite]

its mostly previews and teasers, so extremely selective

[tranquil vapor]

What is wrong with Lich ? like its being lackluster ?

[vale thistle]

It's just old and hasn't seen significant updates in ages.

[surreal verge]

One-dimensional.

Also it's class skills are kinda shite.

[tranquil vapor]

Glad i picked up necro when i started

[flint glen]

somewhere I can find where all the Javelin nodes are? Reworked ones anyways.

[bronze valley]

Any idea when all the information will be available (patch notes?) so that build guide creators can do their thing and publish some guides for 1.2? I am a build guide w****, cannot play without them 🙂

[rigid torrent]

11th of April for everybody

you can always do a 10/10 test run to know you baseline gear and eyeball it from there with the patch notes

[floral tangle]

for exiled items are the t6-t7 affixes find only or is there any way to craft an item with em?

[rigid torrent]

you can craft with exiled items, its kind of complex but Raxx has a nice video on it ☺️

[dusky kite]

you will be able to reshuffle affixes around in s2 with new runes but anything above t5 must still be dropped like that first

can't just craft it from scratch

[rigid torrent]

true not from scratch no

[floral tangle]

so items with those affixes have to be fouind then

[dusky kite]

exactly

[desert tree]

The new experimental crafting mechanic will allow to craft exalted

[oblique geyser]

monoliths show modified xp... is corruption bonus included in this modifier?

[dusky kite]

will it? Didn't they say that the max you get is t5 experimental affix?

[oblique geyser]

but with rune of havoc or so you can shuffle tiers around?

im not sure if it was set affixe on exalt but you can shuffle tiers to reach t 6 7 on something that wouldnt reach t6 7 otherwise

[surreal verge]

Any affixes on exalted.

[acoustic thicket]

do i have to do side quests

[dusky kite]

yes

[dusky kite]

it applies to both of these

[rigid torrent]

not all, you can just do untill you have all ur passive points and idol slots

[dusky kite]

yes, you need to do some of the side quests that unlock idol slots and passive points, it should show up a total on your map screen (might need to press shift to bring it up)

[surreal verge]

You'll have to do some, as they're your main source of extra passive points and idol slots.

[rigid torrent]

open the map (M) > press SHIFT and see bottom left corner

[desert tree]

I assumed mayne too much

[acoustic thicket]

thanks everyone

[dusky kite]

yes, this doesn't say that the outcome can be exalted, and they said t5 in the stream

i.e. it could well be that the expected normal outcome is t2 or t3 and to hit t5 you need to have exalted prefixes

[desert tree]

I thought the previous crafting system allowed for Exalted

But I went to check and no

[dusky kite]

no you could only get up to t5 with rune of research

[desert tree]

I stand corrected then

[dusky kite]

exalted experimental affixes were all drops

so its logical that the new system to replace rune of research would have the same expected outcome

[teal trail]

Would 1 inelegance that scales a skill with 4% be better than lets say spell damage that scales with 6%. Does the intel scaling on skills scale differently compared to other affixes?

[dusky kite]

no it's just increased damage per point of stat

but most attributes also have other ways of scaling either inherently or via passives

i.e. int has 4% (soon to be 2%) ward retention and a good dozens of passives or nodes that scale with it in various mage trees

[indigo berry]

I guess this depends on many different factors, so it's not really a yes or no answer. Let's say the skill scales with spell damage, intelligence and lightning damage. If you're flat spell damage is very low, then a 6% increase is not that good. And if your lightning damage is very high, increasing the damage of the skill greatly, then the 4% increase from Intelligence is better, since it increases the base damage of the skill provided by the good lightning damage? Please correct me if I'm wrong here, but that's my understanding of it.

[dusky kite]

attribute scaling adds increased damage and it would add additively with increased lightining, spell, etc damage

[indigo berry]

Yes.

[dusky kite]

4% increased from int is completely equivalent to 4% increased lightning damage (for a lightning skill obv)

[indigo berry]

Hm, ok? That only makes sense in my head if the skill had only one tag: Lightning.

[surreal verge]

all % increases, as long as they match, are added together.

[teal trail]

Not sure I understand the different between increased and additive. I only known of additive and multiplicative.

[dusky kite]

the skill can have literally every possible tag in the game, the crux of the problem here is that attribute scaling is increased damage which adds additively with all other sources of increased damage

[surreal verge]

So if a spell is "Lightning and Spell", then 1 int is the same as 4% increased spell damage, 4% increased lightning damage, and 4% increased damage.

[dusky kite]

it's not base damage and it's not a more modifier which are all multiplicative with each other

[indigo berry]

Yep, then we all agree.

[sharp charm]

When a skill says 300% added dmg scaling does this include the base of the weapon?

[dusky kite]

the damage formula, roughly speaking, is flat damage * sum of all increased damage * more modifier1 * more modifier2 * ....

the scaling of the skill is a multiplier to the flat damage part

[teal trail]

Correct me if I am wrong, but for what I could see is that intel usually has far less ranges than other affix scaling (despite having a skill effectiveness of 4% which represents 4x). Therefore, making it almost always worse than other affixes such as spell, elemental, lightning etc?

Lets take the above images as an example. 4 x 4(%) is 16% increase which is far less than the other stats. I know the tiers differ, but tier 3 would be more or less 20%+

[surreal verge]

The base wep is treated as 100%, so yes the 300% added damage scaling will multiply it.

[indigo berry]

But Intelligence has defensive properties too.

[surreal verge]

In pure damage, correct.
But Int isn't meant for pure damage.

[sharp charm]

Dang swarmguard slash goes wild

[dusky kite]

see above, attribute scaling have worse increased damage benefits than specific damage affixes but they have a lot of secondary benefits, i.e. in many mage builds if not nearly all of them int has by far the most value of any other stat in the game and it's not a contest

because they have a ton of passives that scale with int

[teal trail]

Where can I see what base stats weapons can drop with?

[surreal verge]

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

[dusky kite]

you can check both implicits and affix roll ranges on LE tools as linked above

[teal trail]

Do shop items disappear at any point?

[dusky kite]

cash shop items? no

[hardy spoke]

guys, choosing one affix to be slammed will be possible with 1 LP or only 2 LP and 3 LPs?

[toxic echo]

any slam

[hardy spoke]

WOW that is damn huge and changes my build, I thought only if 2 LPs

many thanks

[native sail]

@teal trail just gonna ping you here so as not to clutter the channel, devs have said that armory is a hard no (I do not remember their reasoning, I think it was smth about wanting respeccing to be a conscious decision so people don't just swap between clear and bossing "instantly")

[outer saddle]

Is there a video out there teaching me the best affixes to set in a loot filter, no matter what class you play?

[native sail]

Health, attributes, melee crit, crit multi, +skill affixes, hybrid bow crit. Pretty much the most widely used and important things. (Might be an argument for some of the hybrid pen affixes too.)

[outer saddle]

By health do you mean hybrid health specifically or percentage health or fixed health? Coz I'm about to forge for the 1st time at empowered mono and discovered that I apparently have 0 hybrid health affix, even after hours and hours of play

[native sail]

By health do you mean hybrid health specifically or percentage health or fixed health?
Yes.

[outer saddle]

Lol I assume you said yes hybrid then. Anyway how about all the +skills, should I put them in my filter?

[candid elm]

Of the Giant.
Has both flat Health and % increased Health
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/suffixes/AAwZgbEA

[native sail]

I said "yes" as in "all of them"

And probably all the +skills, maybe skip a few that aren't super good but I don't have an exhaustive list on hand lol

[outer saddle]

Ok got it thanks a lot all

[pearl dawn]

Is there a list of good websites/tools to bookmark somewhere? I accidentally removed my bookmark folder sometime between now and the last time I played 😴

Letools etc

[dusky kite]

no because outside of maybe hybrid health the rest of the affixes are class and build specific. I guess you can more or less confidently add skill affixes of the class you are playing too for purposes of shattering

[cedar locust]

Pinned comments for this channel 🙂

[pearl dawn]

Ah, I'm on mobile so I'm practically blind. Ty ❤️

[cedar locust]

No worries! I put that together so I could easily share it in here 🙂

[tacit steppe]

Should I be 5 lvls under zone during leveling for new league? And if 2 lvls under, skip 100% until I’m 5llvs under?

[pearl dawn]

Ah it was specifically tunklab I forgot the name of, great 😎

[surreal verge]

You should be clearing as fast as you can, honestly.

[tacit steppe]

Tested Shaman and it was not super fast at lvl 15 vs lvl 19 zone

So better to then stay around same lvl and clear faster that is?

[surreal verge]

As long as you can clear, campaign shouldn't be giving you any trouble.

[dusky kite]

level in itself doesn't do anything but your maximum exp bonus caps out at +10 level zones

anyways as already said you should just be speedrunning the campaign if you are preoccupied with minmaxing it

and that mostly involves just avoiding fighting the mobs

[tacit steppe]

Ty all!

[teal trail]

Legendary Potential = Total affixes that will be pulled at random from exalted item? Is this guaranteed to pull the amount?

[surreal verge]

Yes, so LP2 means pulling 2.

Which 2 is the RNG part.

[dusky kite]

for now

[teal trail]

So LP4 is technically super strong

[dusky kite]

generally yes

[surreal verge]

IF you can get one, yes.

[teal trail]

Ya, can guess it is rare, but wow

[dusky kite]

although there are some real shit tier uniques where the "base" of the unqiue is worse than exalted bases even at 4 lp

[teal trail]

Can't imagine being baited like that

[surreal verge]

Good news is that those are truly rare.

Because no one keeps them anyway.

[dusky kite]

imagine you drop a 4 lp unique

and it's alchemist's ladle

[surreal verge]

Most uniques are usable at Lp4. If you can find one you need.

[faint cape]

BIS for ethical HC SCF MG ladle only runs

[teal trail]

this is total greek to me

[faint cape]

Hardcore solo character found (no party play, no stash share) Merchant's Guild (basically no faction)

[native sail]

Despair runs through my veins.
Here is the list of 4LP items I have

Fighting Chance
Fighting Chance
Renegade's Will
Aberrant Call
Alchemist's Ladle

[faint cape]

Alchemist's ladle is a reference to Dark Souls iirc, people just using some terrible ladle from the start of the game

[dusky kite]

stawp the ethics are dripping off my monitor

[faint cape]

As a silly challenge

[native sail]

Hmm... @hot carbon input? Idk about this but you might?

[storm blaze]

dark souls 2
it was actually pretty decent with one of the infusions

[faint cape]

Hmm I think I just got beekeper's wraps x2 😂

[native sail]

One of mine is at least kinda useful!

[surreal verge]

Hey, two of those are decent at 4lp

[native sail]

Well, Aberrant was pre-minion suffixes

So

It was kinda pointless then

lol

[surreal verge]

But it's not "dead-dead" like ladle and fighting chance

[faint cape]

The pain 🥲

[surreal verge]

It's more of "Oh, sure, I guess."

[faint cape]

They are at least great leveling uniques

[native sail]

I also already had a perfect double T7 slammed one

Actually screwed in every fashion

[dusky kite]

I've had some fairly decent 4 lps (relatively speaking that is) over the seasons although I'm way too lazy to boot up the game to check. Think grimoire, vial of volatile ice, hammer of lorent, etc

[native sail]

I still somehow have more playtime offline than online

[native sail]

Ooh, Grimoire and Vial are def nice

[dusky kite]

I'm pretty sure I have 2 4lp copies of grimoire just in the latest season

[faint cape]

Fair, the game has been online for only a few major updates

[dusky kite]

its honestly a really good relic, too bad the slot is not flex in most builds

[native sail]

I didn't play a ton of 1.1.7

[native sail]

MOST of my palytime is split in 0.8.5 and 0.9.0 I think

[long terrace]

ty for ur answer mate just saw it! anyway i m wearing a 1LP frozen ire and damage is pretty good so... ^^

[faint cape]

Yeah, I played the hell out of 0.8.5 too

[native sail]

What a good patch :')

[faint cape]

And even though they crippled locust swarm in 0.9.0, I still made a ton of characters then because of the fresh start

[dusky kite]

kinda mid compared to 0.8.6 though

[paper quartz]

does anyone else find this weird behaviour

[hot carbon]

Eh, it could be, it could not be. Without dev confirmation I don't think it can actually be confirmed. It doesn't look similar, at all, and LE's is in reference to brewing potions (Mad Alchemist), while DS2's was just a normal wooden ladle.

[faint cape]

I'm not sure, but I just want to say I really enjoy this #🎨┃fanart

[hot carbon]

It could be, it could also not be.

[cedar locust]

I'm going to assume that is a Potion Belt...

[paper quartz]

Yes of course

Trying to be accurate here

[cedar locust]

Also, I'm not sure what you art is depicting, can you describe each stage?

[paper quartz]

So basically, when you click on something like a box, stash, any bigger interactables, your character moves to where you clicked even if you are in range of the object, which results in you walking over to the other side of something when you just try to interact with it

every non-ui click results in you moving except for when you are literally blocked by an object, resulting in annoying stutter-stepping or running around objects

[native sail]

We have one that is just Alchemist's Ladle, Mad Alchemist came later

[cedar locust]

Oh wait, lemme go look something up!

[paper quartz]

the reason for this seems to be that the game tries to move you into the object youre clicking on, which doesnt work and pathfinds around it instead of just standing still and opening whatever you clicked on

[hot carbon]

I dunno. I don't think it is.

[native sail]

Fair enough

[cedar locust]

I think we made some improvements to this so please let me know how it feels after Season 2 launches!

[hot carbon]

(And to correct Father Toast, the Handmaid's Ladle is actually not a bad weapon)

[paper quartz]

Im hopeful but i saw it happening in the podcast with talktative tri as well

[hot carbon]

(It's one of the most used weapons in all of Dark Souls 2)

[cedar locust]

Please put an in game but report in for that for me and if you can, share me a yt link with a time stamp where you see it!

[paper quartz]

share in the bug report or seperate?

[native sail]

LMAO?

[cedar locust]

Hit ESC in game and click the Report Bug button! This is the In Game Bug Reporting Tool and as long as you keep 'Attach player Data' checked - we get tons of useful info!

[native sail]

Bur

[cedar locust]

Oh, both! Put the yt link in the In Game Bug Report and send it to me please 😅

Sorry I am doing three things atm - it's Hype Week after all!

[native sail]

It's fine, I just like copying typoes, it's funny

[cedar locust]

All good, it genuinely took me a second to figure out what you were doing xD

[faint cape]

Shows how much I know about Dark Souls

Definitely not my kind of game

[rigid torrent]

aha good to know. i thought it was only for controller players swapping to MKB for the inventory management. i have it consistently as a controller player 😆

[spare gyro]

small question: if i start a new offline character today, will i get to access the new content introduced in 1.2 when that patch hits, or will i have to start a new character?

[desert tree]

get to access the new content introduced in 1.2

[spare gyro]

awesome, that's nice and easy then

[desert tree]

I dont know if you plan on using the Market

But new Season comes with a new economy

[spare gyro]

nah, im always single player with ARPGs

[desert tree]

Enjoy then ^^

[spare gyro]

so just to clarify, this isnt like PoE where my characters get bumped into some sort of "legacy" pool when the new season starts, yes?

i guess its just weird to think about offline play these days

[desert tree]

They will go to legacy

But rn there is no difference and in S2

Also, you could just start in Legacy rn

And avoid the hassle of having your tabs being remove only

[spare gyro]

so when i start a character and it says "do you want to do the cycle" it doesnt actually matter?

its all the same? lol

[desert tree]

Rn yes

Maybe in the future

[spare gyro]

odd, but fair enough! i can work with that.

thanks for the clarifications

[desert tree]

Well it matters if you play online

[spare gyro]

sure, but even if i was online, i wouldnt be interacting anyway haha

[desert tree]

Also stashes are not shared between Legacy and season

[spare gyro]

ah thats important then

[desert tree]

So if you ever want a fresh start

[spare gyro]

i'll just roll with offline. im thinking ahead to 1.2 and i dont wanna be caught in a server crush, but i wanna play today/this weekend too

[grand shoal]

Nothing odd at all, the idea of Cycles/Seasons is older then the idea of seasonal content.

It is just healthy for economy and for long term motivation to have a freas start once in a while

[desert tree]

There wont be any server crush in offline for sure 😄

[solid path]

don't jinx the crash of my PC ^^

[formal dew]

how important is it to get 10/10 harbingers early on ya'll would say?
didnt really play much in 1.1 and didnt engage wirth harbys alot

[surreal verge]

It's the only way to reach abberoth, but otherwise...

[formal dew]

Also gives you those bonuses for their faction right?

[surreal verge]

Yeah.

[quasi mantle]

Does anyone know if Umjols Guiddance works in conjuction with Fulgurite Core ?

[gleaming harness]

is there gonna be a change to the campaign in the tombs of the erased?

[surreal verge]

Fulgurite only check your sheet chances, so no.

[surreal verge]

No info if so.

[gleaming harness]

i think i heard a streamer talking about it but when checking trailer i couldn't find anything

[gleaming harness]

oh i see, ty

[quasi mantle]

thats lame

[surreal verge]

Umjols' shock chance only applies to swipe, so you can't expect it to check the chance of every skill you have.

[quasi mantle]

I figured as much. It would be cool if it gave a buff that increased your shock chance. That way they would work in tandem

[surreal verge]

We'll have some ridiculous stats if so since those kinds of nodes exist EVERYWHERE.

[quasi mantle]

Not really no. I don't see any other nodes in Primalist that increase dmg based on chance to shock. Maybe I'm missing something

I guess storm breath with storm crows kind of. But that has a maximum value since its shock stacks

[surreal verge]

nono, you're thinking too small.

If for example, you have 3 skills that all give you a ignite chance buff, any single damage skill you use will now have all 3 boosts. It leads to ridiculous power.

[quasi mantle]

Brother, I'm suggesting that this one node give you base shock chance. Not every node in the game do this

[surreal verge]

Why would it only work with just one node, wouldn't it be weird and inconsistent?

[quasi mantle]

No, I don't think so. Plenty of nodes in the game have uniques properties that unable unique and perhaps unusual builds. That is the whole idea behind the game

I'm not a theorycrafter by any means but to my knowledge that side of the swipe tree goes fairly unused. Perhaps it could use a buff like this one to make it more interesting. That's all

[surreal verge]

That node is effectively a convert node, there's multiples of these and they're generally consistent.

If you want to make a suggestion then #1210282176680169562 is better for it to be logged.

[quasi mantle]

My apologies for asking. Didn't know I would be met with such push back

[surreal verge]

It's more... weird if anything, since nothing works like that in skill nodes. Especially something that has an actual cap.

[cedar locust]

But even 'weird' ideas might go somewhere! It could get a Dev thinking about a way it could work, with a few tweaks 😁 or be the spark that starts a whole new feature 😅

[frail plinth]

Hi!
Will the new content released in 0.2 be available in Legacy leagues?

[surreal verge]

1.2 you mean, but yes.

[frail plinth]

yes, thanks!

[surreal verge]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[pearl epoch]

So, does one need to get timeline stability to 100% to conquer it, or does doing the three quests count enough?

[toxic echo]

you just need enough stab for the boss fight thrid quest

[pearl epoch]

Noted! Thanks!

[dusky kite]

no real reason to do that before you can kill aberroth

the faction bonuses are relatively minor

[dusky kite]

yeah they havent officially announced anything, so I guess if there are any changes, they will be minor, or tied to skips via dungeons (since dungeons are getting touched up)

[dusky kite]

it doesn't give you generic chance to shock, it gives you chance to shock with swipe, which isn't counted for storm totem node

[gleaming harness]

gotcha, ty. Probably should look up how to finish the campaign more efficiently then if no big changes coming for campaign

[grand shoal]

Lucky roll on blessings is minor? oO

I mean for the rest I would go with your inventory, but this one, I feel it is something to strive for

[tawdry hearth]

so patch will be on 17th, but do we know +- hour? i dont remember how it was in past patches xdd

[grand shoal]

10 min from now most probably (on the 17th)

[tawdry hearth]

tyty

[grand shoal]

Ah btw I just realize that we have this "summertime" thing where I live, so +/- 1 hour. I'm not sure if the launches that I've seen happened in winter or in summer time 😄

[tawdry hearth]

ofc, thats why i asked about +- hour, there is no official info yet as far i know, so im mostly asking how it looked in previous patches

[grand shoal]

As the current hype patches happen at 18:00 CET (my time) I guess the patch will also hit this time. Last time it was also this time and all official stuff usually happened around this

[surreal verge]

Whatever the main site shows is the exact time.

[tawdry hearth]

thanks, it helps with planning that day

[tawdry hearth]

ohh we do have timer, welp after 13 years of timer on poe website, i suppose i should first check main website XDD that helps a lot

[storm wren]

how about all existing legacy characters are unlock empowered timelines and I want to keep creating legacy characters after 1.2?

New legacy characters in 1.2 will need to farm normal monolith again to unlock empowered ones or they can access empowered ones directly?

[rugged abyss]

it says, single one

[storm wren]

oh so I still need to farm normal monoliths to level up at first, no change. Thanks

a lv 60 character go to lv 90 maps directly will be too weak

hah? 🤔

[prime patio]

Late April Fool's joke? xD

Or maybe just the announcement is tomorrow, not the race

[tawdry hearth]

i suppose the announcing is tomorrow XD

he will say about rewards, rules etc

[prime patio]

Honest question, should EHG rename Hype Week to Pain Week? It is painful to read all those exciting things and having to wait another week xD

[storm wren]

EHG: Pain week sounds negative

[prime patio]

Well, 9 months passes quickly but the last week is painful to wait to pass

[rigid torrent]

ziz always puts out a tweet for the announcement, and a second tweet of the event details 🙂

[tawdry hearth]

makes sense, there must be time for players to prepare atleast bare minimum, at the end it is 10k$ race + sponsors

[rigid torrent]

just like he does for POE gauntlet 🙂

[dusky kite]

people act as if they are seeing a streamer for the first time, of course it's an announcement of an announcement

[rigid torrent]

whats 9months compared to playing since the kickstarter - to put it in perspective 😆

[high pike]

Do we have in depth information about how Set Item shattering and the use of those shards works? I am curently trying to figure out a use for me but lack information.

[inner mountain]

wwe have quite a bit of information but not exactly everything, what do you feel like you need to know to understand it?

[west geyser]

Hi. Does any one know if Last Epoch tool aware of the changes and will update at the same time as the patch note is release ?

[toxic echo]

they will update as soon as they are able to

[high pike]

1. What kind of affixes can be gained from Set Items and are they at full power?
   2, What are the limitations of using the shards?
2. How does do i gain the Set effects exactly?

[high pike]

Should have tagged you.

[fringe nymph]

Heys guys, haven't played in a long time, have there been any improvement concerning the leveling / campaign and rerolling ? I remember it being extra tedious

[surreal verge]

1. It's specific for each set item.
2. Crafted onto as normal, but will be considered a "Reforged set item" and loses any existing rarity color.
3. By wearing them as usual.

[earnest garden]

go read the blog post today

[high pike]

Thank you. Do you have any information on the limitations of crafting the affixes on an Item? For example there exist somewhat generic mods found on different Item bases but can I actually apply for aexample a Dagger Affix to a sword?

[surreal verge]

It must be the same base: A set item shard from a staff can only be crafted onto a staff.

[high pike]

Aww. And here I was hoping to use fancy set combinations.

Thanks for clarifying

[solid path]

google didn't help much..
anyone knows if there's a list of all possible in-game titles?

[drowsy ridge]

hey guys, sorry if this has been answered already but i couldn't find the proper search to get it to show up.

When I played LE on release with some friends when we grouped up only 1 of our monoliths/corruption progressed while playing together has that changed at all for multiplayer?

[fringe nymph]

ah ... ctrl f didnt find anything mentioning leveling, ill comb through it then

[neon steppe]

is it worth to make another void knight on next patch even tho my only current character is already a void knight? or should i make another calss?

i suppose it will make more sense to ask that tomorrow depending on what they change, but i really want to try something else, but at the same time i'll miss the spin to win

also, will cycle be different from legacy? like any more content or is it just for item reset by having different stash

[grand shoal]

It is like that, but the second player can use the gaze to catch up fast thanks to the catch up mechanic that came with 1.1 (?)

[fringe nymph]

Ok so just the dungeon skip, IF you can do it (no first char then ?) thats underwhelming

[outer mango]

what time patch notes tomorrow?

[candid elm]

The daily hype posts in the #news channel that point to these forum posts https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/news/64 have gone up each day at approximately noon EDT.

So probably around whenever noon UTC -4 is for you.

Example

[high pike]

Are sources of "Chance to cast X if you use Y" able to happen if Y is cast by a source of "Cast Y if Z"?

[dusky kite]

read today's blog but generally speaking no categorical differences, just things getting more shortcuts and/or being made smoother

[humble epoch]

where do harbingers spawn?

[dusky kite]

you still don't have a character of every mastery? You should remedy that asap

[dusky kite]

also completely skipping normal monos

if you can do it of course

[winged ginkgo]

oh jeez, im looking the QOL patch note, and it's all VERY GOOD

even if it's not "very complicated" they just listened the players. so freaking good

[rigid torrent]

if you are refering to the bosses, they spawn when you have a certain corruption lvl in Empowered Monoliths, after killing the timeline boss

[winged ginkgo]

the only thing that still bother me is having to click on the shards. walking on them should make them directly in inventory. because it makes you backtrack so much...

[rigid torrent]

you dont have to? some players keep walking forward as it will drop later too, depending on the dropped affixes

[winged ginkgo]

simple logic, who wouldn't want them anyway? why spending time to read if shard are good or not?

just vacuum them all

[rigid torrent]

maybe i gotten so used to not having a vacuum for it, and pretty satisfied with a auto-storing feature 😆

[dusky kite]

this is what jonathan judd finds fun

[distant radish]

Is an ailments damage increased by "more" modifiers of the skills inflicting the ailment? For example does an ignite inflicted by warpath do more damage when I skilled the "whirling steel" node

[surreal verge]

Yes

[surreal verge]

At the end of a quest echo boss fight if you have enough corruption.

[solid path]

Anyone else hope for this?
We currently only have most of them..

[dusky kite]

yes

[pearl epoch]

So. Is it wise to tackle on stuff ten levels above you? Or is there diminishing returns after the five level lead?

[candid elm]

If you're not constantly dying, it's fine. I believe the XP is up to your character level +10. Example, if you're a level 75 character in an area level 90, you earn XP as if you were in an area level 85. Which is fine, you still level up without issue. As long as you're not struggling

[median lodge]

you're mising this one :

[sage shale]

Are minions endgame viable in these game?

[median lodge]

yes

[sage shale]

Oki will try to find build for S2

[neon steppe]

gonna wait for next season before i do that

[solid path]

I'm gullible enough to almost think that's a real thing i've missed out on, and not just a 2 minute MS Paint job like my post...

[dusky kite]

not sure where the 5 levels figure even comes from, but bonus exp from killing high level mobs stops scaling at +10 to your level

[median lodge]

you missed it because it's only for "EHG employees / Staff"

[solid path]

ooh damn, well well. at least it's real, and GOLDEN!

[median lodge]

yeah iam so jealous ><" who knows what Fabulous skins / pet they got ? rainbow-lizzard-mount ?

[pearl epoch]

Noted! Thank you! And I'm not struggling. 😄 And thanks to you too @dusky kite 🙂

[solid path]

Perhaps they've got a 6th version of the Alpha supporter pack Primordial Turtles that has the earth on its back like that mythical one. (Akupara?)
That would be cool

[icy drift]

they even have a rainbow!

[desert tree]

Show off! 😏😏

[icy drift]

they need to add the rainbow in the selection screen frfr

[native sail]

Time to apply specifically for the pet /s

[icy drift]

could be needed for the 1.2 launch

[restive epoch]

Is this the PoE2 Crowbell easter egg?

[icy drift]

there's also the secret hidden bellboi

idk if they're referenses or not though

[buoyant condor]

@vital steeple bleeding fury gets converted to ignite with Maehlin's hubris

the bottom left buff with 6 stacks is the bleeding fury buff

[shut walrus]

is the endless arena good for farming?

or is it mostly just to get on the leaderboard

[dusky kite]

its mostly for leaderboards, it drops no loot and the exp was nerfed

[shut walrus]

it only shows the top 30 on the leaderboards. how do i find my ranking?

[median lodge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ladders/

Rank 361

(to bad i died before attempting hc ;'( )

[pearl epoch]

Why do I see stacking of necrotic resists for some warlocks? Like to the point where it's waaaaay over 75%.

[buoyant condor]

the skill "Chthonic fissure" have a node scaling with necrotic res and there is a passive in warlock that gives ward decay threshold and the Helmet "Boneclamor Barbute" gives ward based on necrotic res

so you get damage and and survivability at the same time

[pearl epoch]

Ahhh.

[pearl epoch]

Noted! I think I have one of those. <.< But I'm using a different build than Torment.

[median lodge]

i was like "1 ward / 3% is a bit low ?" then i saw :

[pearl epoch]

Hrm, I just don't see where the Torment build get's the other resistances from in gear.

LOL.

[median lodge]

did you check Idols for res ?

and / or Blessings ?

YOU trying to "Solve the Game" tomorrow after Patch Note Info released :

[pearl epoch]

Hrm. Good point.

[shut walrus]

hey kiwi 🙂

[left mountain]

Is the new "Scissor of Atropos" sword effect something you can get dual wield and get effectively 4x the effect from? One hit = 2 stacks of Kismet, each stack granting 16 crit/flat damage for 32 total?

[median lodge]

Hello there !

[median lodge]

wanna try that 600c Mono ? or you are at 800c now?

I don't think effects stacks, but you should generate more stack

[shut walrus]

im at 700 i think

[median lodge]

if you wanna test, i'll see if transfert break my char or not 😉

[shut walrus]

add me

Big_Mike69

[median lodge]

yeah i found you on the ladder ^^

[shut walrus]

how? lol

[median lodge]

look up

i linked the website

[shut walrus]

how did you know it was me though

lol

[median lodge]

i put your name, i knew you were playing bladancer

[shut walrus]

ahh

[median lodge]

• litterally your name xD

[shut walrus]

i did 4 arenas and now im top 300

[left mountain]

tyty; do you know if every attack within flurry counts for using an attack, or is it based on skill activations?

[median lodge]

Dunno never played it :p

[inner mountain]

isn't orobyss the observer? any lore heads know for sure?

[teal trail]

Any guideline perhaps to assist in choosing my defences. Is it a good idea to have balanced dodge, armor, ward, etc. Better to focus on something specific. What is a must have? Any assistance would be much appreciated

I am playing a mage, so thus far I've only been focusing on ward and ward retention. No dodge, armor or block. In fact, not even health 😅

[oblique geyser]

i dont know if you can answer this...the new controller targeting is pre defined by the game or will you have to adjust it by yourself like the loot filter? not sure if my question makes sense 🤷‍♀️

[storm blaze]

No

[lunar sparrow]

is there any info about wasd movement coming out?

[inner mountain]

do we know who the observer is?

[storm blaze]

Someone a lot more powerful than Eterra or orobyss
But we don't know much

[dusky kite]

health and ward are interchangeable, you don't need one if you have the other. For armor, easy pick ups are mono blessings and high level bases with more armor. Dodge stacking on mage is iffy at best, you have no support for it in your trees, skills, or much of anything else really.

[hidden mica]

1. Is wasd coming with season 2?
2. If yes, will using wasd mean you can move while using skills (aside from ones that already allow it, like warpath)?

[inner mountain]

1. yes
2. no

[inner mountain]

yes, it will be available in a beta form in season 2

[hidden mica]

Ty. That's an oof tho

Guess I'm sticking with mouse

[inner mountain]

they haven't redone all the animations, they just move you the same as the mouse would move you in reaction to you pressing the wasd buttons

[hidden mica]

Yeah, the only reason it feels good in poe2 is because you can move in one direction and shoot in another

[storm blaze]

Why would wasd allow that 2. ?

[hidden mica]

I didn't think it would

But I was hoping they added that so wasd actually has a purpose

[storm blaze]

Would be broken.

[hidden mica]

Yeah, if the game isn't balanced around it

[inner mountain]

the purpose is to let people who like wasd use wasd

[hidden mica]

But I'm fine with mouse. I actually prefer it. But in poe2 the ability to move and shoot at the same time basically kills mouse movement imo

[inner mountain]

letting you move while using those skills with wasd but not mouse and keyboard would give wasd a huge advantage

[hidden mica]

I would imagine if they added it for wasd it would have been added for mouse, but it would just make mouse way worse

Move + mouse = 😦
Move + wasd = 😐
Stationary + mouse = 🙂
Stationary + wasd = 😦

I know not everyone asking for wasd is a poe2 player, but I'm wagering that most of the people asking for it because they liked it in poe2 are going to be sorely disappointed

[toxic echo]

yes. but this is why they have marketed it as a BETA wasd

is it going to help, prolly not.

but its marketed this way for a reason

[fading wave]

Yes , it is I 👁️

[unreal hatch]

with the QoL with auto-sorting, is there also an option for auto-pickup being added?

[hidden mica]

Not that I've seen in any of the news posts

Or heard of in any of the interviews

[dusky kite]

then mouse movement will have no purpose, unless you just accept that from then on it's gonna be the strictly inferior control scheme

and they didn't want to go with that

[icy drift]

Idk I don't feel that way, I can kite in Poe 2 (move in one direction while shooting in a different direction) just fine on mouse. But obviously I think being experienced in mobas makes it easier for me and it might not be something that can be expected of everyone to do

[candid elm]

i didn't think i wanted wasd in poe. and then i tried it. now i want it in LE as well. i'm happy EHG is working on it at all.

[hidden mica]

Yeah, I can't drop the habit of holding down m1 to move. I don't click once to move in an arpg

[hidden mica]

Right, but poe2 allows you to move while using abilities. I have no basis for this opinion, but I think that wasd only feels good because you can move while using abilities. If you could wasd in poe1/LE it would feel much worse than it does in poe2

But I guess we'll see in a week

[lofty lion]

all they really have to do is make you move really slow so its like ur not moving at all

even slight movement on locked abilities will make them feel a lot better

[shy turret]

it doesn't only feel good because of that, stutter step kiting on mouse is way less chill than WASD version of that

[lofty lion]

well its bc wasd you now have the qol of like controler aiming

so fireing backwards

[shy turret]

things like dragonsong proc can be pointed in the right direction while running backwards (maybe?)

[faint cape]

They haven't confirmed for sure, but yes it seems that Orobyss is the corrupted Observer.

[inner mountain]

i love when i ask a lore questions and get conflicting answers 🙃

[faint cape]

Yeah, that do be how it go

We know that the person in the videos and on your mana globe are the Observer. Note that the Observer on your globe is chained up. The Shade of Orobyss, which is a reflection of Orobyss's despair from his imprisonment happens to look exactly like the observer, but corrupted.

Oh yeah, also Kyle definitely used Orobyss and Observer interchangeably in one of Mike's streams

My personal theory is that we're the ones who chain him up at the end of the campaign

I have no basis for that other than just a guess lol

[inner mountain]

hold on you're telling me there's a person in my mana globe?

how have i never noticed this lol

[inner mountain]

yeah this is where i got the idea that they were the same person

[faint cape]

On the right side, yeah. On the left of your health globe is Eterra

[inner mountain]

ohhh

not in

but connected to it

yeah

[faint cape]

Yeah, globe frame or, as I like to call them, the "globe girls"

[inner mountain]

you said on but i misinterpreted what you meant

"my chains return traveler, but what of yours..."

hope we don't have to get chained up too

[faint cape]

Heh I too prefer to be chainless

[inner mountain]

okay interesting then that the observer/orobyss may be helping us craft in season 2 while we are simultaneously trying to defeat him and his forces

although with all the wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff going on in this game it's possible that the observer who is helping us craft is not yet our foe who is corrupting eterra

[toxic echo]

The observer...observes. he does nothing

[velvet dawn]

Im curious. Will this ever get a console port? Would be kinda awesome to play on ps5

[inner mountain]

i guess he's not directly crafting on our items like the weaver is but he must do SOMETHING to have acquired this relic in the first place, right?

[toxic echo]

Maybe he just inherited it

[lofty lion]

or found it and had it named after him

[faint cape]

Not necessarily, but it's possible he used it for observing at some point

it is a watchtower, after all, good for observation

[inner mountain]

odd that an item that can alter physical pieces of equipment would also be used for observing but you never know

[vale thistle]

observing timelines is his job, making random relics is his passion

[faint cape]

Magic

and also, not sure which of him or Eterra is more powerful, but they are the two most powerful beings in existence apparently

[vale thistle]

probably has an attic full of gadgets like that, we just haven't found them yet

[shy turret]

is there a setting that shows a border around newly picked up loot in your inventory? I swear i was watching someone and they had that on, but mine doesn't do that

this is mainly an issue because of the shard button making new items go wherever, will be less of an issue in new patch

[jagged spade]

Has Transmog in any form been talked about? Or is it just gonna be the cosmetic store for customization?

[toxic echo]

nothing in s2 but its on the roadmap so its coming eventually

still worth playing now to learn how stuff works if you are 100% new to the game.

[shy turret]

also, it depends if you care about keeping up with all the meta builds or if you just want to go at your own pace.

thanks for info ^^

Season 2 is on the 17th. If you want to play in Legacy game mode, your character progress will not be reset. Although depending on what class you play, it's possible passives could be respecced or something.

If you want to play Seasonal game mode, that will start over for Season 2. Note that Legacy and Season currently have the same content. Just separate economies, leaderboards, etc.

[shy turret]

well worth playing for a week to get up to speed then

[candid elm]

yeah i'd just start playing, have some fun

are you comparing to poe2 campaign? it's pretty short compared to that, and there's parts you can skip also. even more parts you can skip with the upcoping s2 changes

[candid elm]

i don't feel like it takes a long time. you technically can go into the end game as soon as you reach the end of time area, which you do early in the game when you select your mastery. although a level like 15-20 character in a level 58 area is rough.

so people usually do some of the campaign before going into end game

[quasi sentinel]

[candid elm]

but you don't have to finish the campaign to start doing the end game areas

[candid elm]

yeah compared to poe2 it's fast

you can choose to continue that character or start a new one when the patch drops. if you are going MG (trade faction), then you'll definitely want to restart

most people will be starting new chracters anyway

The UI animations generally only work in offline mode for some reason

[drowsy jungle]

With 200% chance to shredd armor, that means i create 2 stacks at the same times?

[faint cape]

Yes

[lavish saffron]

what are the odds they put the game on a discount for the season 2 drop? lol

[faint cape]

Roughly 0%

[lavish saffron]

what a shame

[faint cape]

There is summer coming up, that has a higher chance. The sales are always 25%

[candid elm]

ask your friend what game mode they're going to be playing in. if they're going to be playing in Legacy, you can keep playing the same character. if they're going to be playing Season, they'll be making a new character when that starts and you'll need to as well to play with them.

either way you can start playing now if you want to

[humble epoch]

to be fair, the game is really well made and as they're only charging 35$ bucks for it id say its 100000% the price

[neon steppe]

Is there any class that is forced to use minions in all of their specializations? I hate minions so i'm trying to see which class to avoid

[south plover]

you can avoid minions all together if you want...even on necromancer and beastmaster (not sure how well those perform without minions) but all classes can be played without the use of minions

[neon steppe]

Okay nice

In the next patch will factions levels be 0 if we play in cycle?

[arctic oriole]

Isn't 1 million gold a lot?

[candid elm]

not really and there's not much to spend gold on. the only gold sinks are buying stash tabs and the vault door in lightless arbor that you can throw gold at.

like buying all 200 stash tab is about 91 million https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/stash after the costs were reduced

[arctic oriole]

If it's true, thank you for clearing up my doubts.

[candid elm]

i'm surprised they added it. i guess enough people asked for it or complained about it

[outer saddle]

Is nemesis spawn 100% random or there's some rule?

[arctic oriole]

I think they're on the right track.
I can't play as many hours as 70% or 50% of players, and that doesn't give me enough time to test things.

[outer saddle]

Or 100% spawn

[faint cape]

1 mil is a decently hefty amount of gold, I don't think it's something you'd want to do often

[outer saddle]

Except in arenas

[faint cape]

It's random, but it follows a rule. Higher corruption = higher spawn chance. If you go backwards into campaign, they'll also stop spawning.

[arctic oriole]

Which faction would you start with?

[outer saddle]

Thanks. Noob q but do I need to manually increase my corruption on that shade echo little by little, or is the increase substantial at higher level? It's only increasing by 6-7 corrupts now, and I just killed my 1st harbinger and got to 100 corrupts

[faint cape]

The farther out from the center you go, the more corruption the Shade gives. Also completing the timeline boss grants you Gaze of Orobyss (you can see on the top-left of the web below corruption) which helps you go up faster. When you kill harbingers, they can also drop needles which are consumable idols that you can get extra Gaze with.

When it's time for you to move on to a new timeline, you will be able to catch up very quick

[outer saddle]

Thanks a lot. Is there a strat in doing the harbingers? Some sequencing maybe? I'm having a bit of a problem doing the tribeam spinning guy

My build is fw minions

Should I maybe try another mono 1st?

[faint cape]

The harder ones are better to do first, generally, since you have to defeat them at progressively higher corruption

I feel like all the skinny ones are harder than the chonky ones, in general, but it depends on build and opinion

[outer saddle]

Wdym by skinny and chonky? The tribeam is which one?

[dense jay]

There are 2 harbinger archtypes; agile and tank. Each timeline have fixed harbinger archtype. Tribeam is in the Last Ruin Timeline

[faint cape]

The tri-beam one is a skinny one

and is one of the harder ones

[dense jay]

Other one being Ending the Storm, not sure if they changed that 😛

[outer saddle]

Ok that's good to know, so I need to deal with him first then thanks

[solid breach]

hi, I introduced my server in #💽┃server-share, however the message got blocked all the time. The text is in Vietnamese. Is it the reason why?

Also, where can I find the rule for words that are not allowed?

[outer saddle]

Other than wraithlord & falconer, what are the currently strongest minion build?

[outer saddle]

I read somewhere that they can't filter non-english text for profanity etc, so that may be the reason

[ocean onyx]

squirrels are pretty good

[outer saddle]

Even stronger than aboms?

[ocean onyx]

never played aboms. but they absolutely murder single target stuff. clear isnt as good as falcon they have to melee things, but they get enough movement speed that eventually thats not a huge issue

[outer saddle]

Cool. Can you link a vid/letools please?

i used a time glass instead of death rattle. belt can also be something else

[outer saddle]

Huge thanks!

[faint cape]

Scorpion is very good, look up CookBook's guide, very thorough

[random isle]

Was there any trick to orobyss at higher corruption, like the lagon blinky eye? I can't seem to dodge him

[outer saddle]

I've tried that build, but I dunno how he spam blessing on his scorpion. My scorpion is hardly damaged.

[quick crown]

do we know yet if the new key storage page is per character or per account? and what the cap is on how many of each type of key that can be stored there is?
i have recieved an answer, it is infinite and is shared between all characters who shares a stash

[random isle]

from what i understand theres a bunch of different orobyss element types with different movesets, is there any noticable pattern between them

[candid elm]

Whatever you want. They give two options so you can play how you like.

If you like using auction houses, buying/selling, and trading to get your gear play Merchant's Guild.

If you don't want to scroll through auction house listings and prefer to just grind for your items play Circle of Fortune. Also if you're playing offline, do CoF as there isn't much point to MG offline.

[candid elm]

I imagine it's by game mode, for example all characters who share the same stash. Like how the crafting materials work.

They didn't specify if there's a cap. If it's like the crafting materials there's probably no cap. Guess we'll find out soon.

As far as what's stored in there, you can see it in the bottom right of this picture from this post https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/quality-of-life-dungeon-other-improvements-coming-to-last-epoch-april-17th/75217

[quick crown]

i asked in the dev chat and recieved the answer that it is infinite and shared between all characters who shares a stash

[candid elm]

Makes sense, like the crafting materials

[surreal verge]

Each shade, even if they're the same element, might have different movesets, so you only hope is to know how to adapt and dodge.

[random isle]

blah, i have no reflexes 😛

[surreal verge]

Well, at least you'll most likely learn which moves WILL delete your health bar, those are surprisingly universal once you see them-

Like the void meteors

[faint cape]

Your scorpion doesn't need to be damaged, it can just be a little fiddly to target it sometimes. Hopefully the S2 smart targeting will help, but idk.
