so melee damage does scale it, its a melee attack, it gets added necro damage from attributes, but you can scale it with just the raw weapon damage as well
dps of 107 idk campaign is really hard for me rn

Bordeless, everything on medium and fps limit.
Is it normal ? my gpu is up to date
sorry if I didn't post it in the right channel, kinda new 
Surprised the temp isn't higher tbh
is the online planner not working for anyone else? the loading bar keeps getting stuck at 5% for me
Check if you have hardware acceleration enabled in browser
disabling that worked, thanks
just so you know, ideally its enabled, not disabled
what is even wrong? thats perfectly fine for any game
hey does critical strike chance also increase the crit chance for spells?
or do i need spell critical strike chance for that
non-spell crit works
One only works for spells, one works for spell/melee
ah ok ty
don't forget to pair it with some kind of curse
get +melee and +necrotic damage
Does increase fire/cold/lightning damage also apply to minions or is it only yourself?
If it doesn’t say specifically applying to your minions, it won’t.
@spare pewter Ight, coolio. Thank you!
Enjoy.
Does Generic added damage from Elemental Arrows apply to Ignite base damage?
added damage won't apply to ignite damage
so I can't help but notice in guide that bleed and ignite do more damage than electrify in guide, so if I take electrify for javelins does ignite and bleed give double stacks to electrify?
even still a stack of ignite and bleed by default do 90 damage
and electrify only does 84 if it does double
so why would i take electrify
Electrify’s base damage is 42, Bleed is 53 and Ignite is 39, but bleed is over 4 seconds so that number is a little misleading.
ohhhh good point
Mainly because you can use keen idols that proc smite on throwing hits as well, which you can spec into electrify
but I'm thinking about stacks too
And they are “free” casts of smite
I just made a throwing fg pally for javelins
and really wanna throw lightning spears
With devotion unique you and the new spear unique you can quite literally blind yourself with smites and javelins
yeet
I still need to figure out how to get the the dragon reigns monos that drop the new spear
I just made my throw fg setinel he's still only level like 23
Tu’ranis is a world drop if you’re talking about the newest unique
yeah
I’ve gotten several already, devotion is a relatively common drop as well
So luckily not too bad to get set up on
but according to that one site it drops more often in dragons reigns monos
but
when I clicked dragon reigns it was nowhere to be found
hold on
wait nvm im dumb'
ok so I know uniques that are common drops drop in world but also have a higher chance to drop in certain places
so what would be the best area to farm to get this spear?
i need this spear
Reign of Dragons with the set/unique echo rewards, they appear more often in empowered but there’s a decent chance you can get one to drop as you make your way to empowered honestly
honestly it's super common i dropped 4 of them in like <100 echoes just do content and they'll appear
aight cool
I'm level 28 still working my way toward monos
thanks for all the help everyone!
Is fractured crown obtainable or gone?
Is there any good spreadsheet for the monolith, that shows each timeline blessings, all the uniques that drop from that timeline quest echo, and which uniques that show up in that timeline?
I used to have a good spreadsheet last epoch, but cant find it
@snow spruceive used it, but its a little clunky. Had one last xpac that was a lot cleaner than that one. I will check it out again
I mean, its not as organized as you'd likely want it to be (given you're asking for a spreadsheet), but all the information is there and logically separated for blessings, and all uniques are labeled if they're Timeline boss specific.
Last Epoch Checklist
That will work, had a much cleaner spreadsheet that just showed everything and i got it from this discord.
theres Tunklabs too: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines
It may have been that. Thanks for the info guys
@bronze ocean you rock 🙂
does both Spell crit and critical strike apply to spell? just not melee critical ?
IIRC yes
if I take the lay Waste node on Drain life, does that only apply to the leech component directly from DL ?
like if I have gear w/ 'leech damage while transformed'
will that apply during DL, or be removed ?
have they made an announcement for when they might patch this new release? The sound while playing the primalist after using upheaval and tornado is horrendous
Not sure actually, sorry!
They already did some fixed, and I'm sure they're working on the sound
I didn't get a notification from steam about the pacth today, looks like it went into effect for me at 15:41 PST reading it now.
That's a good start, thanks for letting me know about the patch.
There is a post on reddit and they have fixed it
It just didn't make it in time for the hot fix
Besides DoT are there any attacks that can't be dodged?
not that im aware of
some skills like upheaval have nodes that make them undodgeable
I read something about the Dungeon should guarantee dropping a unique with legendary potential. Is that confirmed by the devs that it's not working as intended?
It's not implemented, it will be in hopefully near future
Hey, I wanna play upheaval but I don't want to have it attached to a cd like in bear form. Is shaman the best ascendancy for that? I wouldn't play totems
BM is great for Upheaval, lots of attack speed and crit scaling
bm is the third ascendancy right?
Beastmaster yeah, you don't really use any minions though apart from to proc one of your buffs
ok, how do you abandon a quest? i picked up like every quest while i was leveling but now i'm cap points and idol slots i'd like to abandon the ones i didn't complete.
any ideas?
I think you can only hide them
Does cast speed affect summoning speed?
it works for totems most e.g.
any idea when online play comes out?
No idea, we do know that community testing alpha testing will take place in Q1 2022
!multiplayer
Multiplayer is still being worked on. Here's an update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.
whenever I try to toggle loot filter with X it just turns it off then back on automatically any fix?
as far as i know its meant to be a 'hold to do the thing' button
if you want to turn off your loot filter for a prolonged period of time, just change filter
arena or monolith to level up fast?
arena kind of, but really just do monoliths
you need to do the normal ones to unlock empowered anyway
yeah loot as well
ill use arena to suplement it sometimes, depending on build
for example: I did a bit in arena on my paladin atm, to get crit avoid passive nodes to make gearing easier (and be able to utlise some of my low level exalteds, and a legendary body), before continuing in monoliths
i'm still in the using blue trash next to a god roll cast speed exalted staff phase of things
what's some easy ways to solve mana issues? (upheaval mana cost with BM druid)
I have regen on jewelry and an unique chest that gives mana regen and I'm still having issues
You'll need a skill that regens mana
I don't see any as BM
you dont have many
thorn totems have some mana stuff and swipe obviously
tempest strike has some stuff too
How's umbral blades performing? I saw Boardman rated his build an A but a lot of people seem to indicate it's extremely OP. Now that we're a few days into the patch, what's the good word on Umbral blades?
Is the only wiki available the fandom one? Are there any efforts to create a better community wiki?
did you press G ingame allready
the wiki is heavily outdated
usually dot spells tell you how they scale
maelstorm eg. has "added damage is added at 60% per second"
Hi guys, quick question for aborises necrotic dot lich, why are we taking those points? I cant summon minions
No I haven't. Does that bring up a more up to date guide/wiki than what's on fandom?
hey guys if i like hard-hitting non-spammy skills, which sub class should i get on mage?
Yeah you can, acolyte gets them
I cant put it on my skill bar. It's full of the stuff ive specialised in. If I summon the minions and change back the skill the minions go away
Doesn't your death seal trigger hungering soul?
oh your brain is huge
thank you so much, i was using hungering souls during death seal downtime
but im crafting gear with cdr now so should be better
how do i spawn shadows now that im a blade dancer also, i really would like to use flurry as a blade dancer but it doesnt seem to work with it, someone might have answered before but can melee flurry work
i just did the third echo on a monolith, and now my progress is reset back to before the first echo? i thought i would get to choose which of the next level monos to go to next? -confused-
You mean the third quest?
ye
echoes are the island map system
The quests always rest
reset*
So you can do them repeatedly
you have to physically walk to the next monolith
If you ignore them until you unlock the third quest with stability, it’s a good way to knock off modifiers in the first two quests leading up to the third quest which is the boss fight
so do shadows leave umbral blades behind when you cast them with it
i dont think shadows cast flurry when you do
but flurry was so fun to use
Shadows have a limited number of skills they can perform
Flurry is not one of them
yeah which is why im like i think flurry isnt a good skill anymore, it was one of my favoirtes idk if i can make a blade dancer build with it
so much just doesnt work with blade dancer
Just depends on your skills, typically with shadows you’re not really using flurry
yeah, is there a blade dancer build where flurry is good
so much skills and perks just doesnt flow with it
This a forum post that has Arborus’s flurry build on it for BD that’s really good, it has a link to a google document where he breaks it down by category with build planners to each
YouTube Build Guide + Gameplay + Arborus Interview : Arborus's Poison AND Bleed Flurry Blade Dancer, A Double Feature and Last Epoch Builds Special - YouTube Sadly no Build Summary this time as this is not my build, but I will post Arborus’s quick google doc setup : Thanks to Arborus for playing Bleed for me, as I cannot due to massive amount...
It is unique heavy but I think he includes options for other uniques. For instance, you probably don’t have Ravenous Void
that looks fun and sounds pretty good
Essentially, flurry pairs very well with DoT builds, it can also be used in other crit builds like bow mage
ill try it out probabkly
i mean techically if i wanted to keep flurry but not use it as a main skill
its a really good mana generator/health generator if you build it that way
to replace puncture
Today I learned - Spire projectiles don't actually impact the ground, they pass straight through. Therefore one can surmise that the projectile is likely just a graphic that is timed to show you how long till the damage occurs.
im not sure anymore i might try both builds one day
but for nowi just want flurry to be my new mana generator
this is why the game is amazing ok
does this node affect spells?
does not being specifically melee or spell imply it's global?
Yes.
not the attack speed line, obviously though
is it possible to obtain the broken crown after the patch?
maybe rune of ascendence
Its not rune of ascendence 😛 Rune of ascendence only rolls items that can randomly drop
fractured crown cannot
I mean, that's the official explanation but doesn't mean there isn't an exception
so um just cause my crit chance is above 100% doesn't mean imma crit every single strike right?
how does it work, since I only see yellow numbers every few strikes
"100% increased crit" doesn't mean 100% chance to crit. It's just 100% increase from your base crit chance, which is 5%
Hey, hopefully someone can help me with this. Ive actually completed the temporal sanctum, but I couldnt use the eternity cache? It had a tooltip to go to the Divine Era to gain its power, or something. Any help?
press d
also pressing f, I wasted that key 😆 thanks
@brave ibex so 100% increase would just mean i have a 10% crit chance in total?
100% increase = double your current
Yeah, you can check on your character sheet
Does on hit include spells/dot/minions or do you have to whack them?
I think it includes spells but no your minions or dots... it would have to specify minions to include them.... not 100% though
Yeah on hit counts for any hits you do, physical, ele, necro as long as it's an hit and not a dot
how rare is this damn squirrel helmet... been trying since patch
I lost my character when I switch to linux😭 anyone have the same issue ?
Same steam and le account, somehow save isn't transfered
Saves are local
Can I login with my old pc and copy the save file over ?
Yes
when using a rune of ascendancy, does the quality of the base matter? e.g. will a higher level base yield a higher level unique
Nope
okay
its unique heavy in th end game but its easy to play without them. They are just simple upgrades
Yup, shouldn’t be too hard to have viable alternatives
Did the void knight autobomber get nerfed? Is it still viable?
Yes still viable , here's the planner from boardman21 stream: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5Q0pWGQb
He's playing it right now https://www.twitch.tv/boardman21
where in Maj'elka slums is this contract?
I've searched the entire zone
is it in one of the side cellars?
Is there a bow attack speed glove affix?
Nope, just for bow and quiver.
Hmm
Yeah, in one of the cellars
I couldn't find it for a bit either 😅
hey all, I'm new in here so I'm very sorry if I'm asking in the wrong place.
Playing a Lich and looking to do mostly DoT styled damage. Do "on hit" effects apply when I cast Spirit Plague?
is there a life leech to ward mechanic in the game? On an item or anything?
Do abilities like this "36% Chance to Cast Lightning Strike when you use a skill that costs at least 10 Mana" also work with Rage from Druid transformations?
How about answering the question directrly and not with another question
because they don't work for converting mana costs into health
as rage is a resource to enable skills uses just like mana
pretty sure they only trigger on spending mana
Most likely not, as they have updated Kermode’s Cage to specify Rage. Since transform abilities do not use mana they should not trigger, I think those that do trigger non-transformed skills incur the cost in rage
It doesn't matter if it's similar, is it EXACTLY what the ability states
Don't overthink it
most likely yes as the game seems to treat a lot of other "mana" interactions as "rage"
but I think you can easily test this yourself
unless an ability explicitly says it, there's no evidence to support that.
all the abilities that 'work' with rage/mana interchange have been updated / specified to do so
i dont really want to go into detail but that isnt true, factually
at the moment, there are lots of inconsistent interactions around mana/rage where rage is not specified, this is occurring across items so it is reasonable to think that idols have a similar state and he should just test it quickly to find out
does increased shield drop rate apply to catalyst? or nah
is there a way to get game files for a bug report without the game crashing?
got a really odd sound bug in my last mono
Just did a quick test and yes Stormbreakers 36% chance to proc lightning strike works with all the transform abilities for druid
except maybe swipe that was hard to tell but it worked with spriggans basic attack so I would guess it works with swipe as well
Stormbreakers 10 mana skill proc works with rage
!bug
Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!
explain how this is a bug?
Its either bug because its working that way, OR the description is wrong. One way or another, its wrong.
Can always ask in Ask the Devs to confirm, but I am of mind with Washa, it's either a tooltip bug/alt text issue or it's a coding bug
I still do not see how this is a bug. Rage is a replace for mana when transformed it is essentially mana, they really didn't need to add rage. When you transform its the same amount as the mana you already have, functions as mana, and there are only two unique item that reference rage. Both only gain you rage. seems more like an over sight and an added complexity for a prior resource that was fine to begin with and didn't need an alternative.
Right, but you're only talking functionality. Bugs can be functional or non-functional in nature. And we don't really know what the intended effect actually is (without asking as Daedaleus pointed out). Either way, there's an issue, and something that should be reported (in my eyes).
for legendary crafting, could i use an exalted 2h axe and combine with a unique 2h sword?
or would it need to be two swords
It needs to be two swords
How do you increase the area level in monolith of fate?
corruption increases it but also empowered monoliths (which should be your goal) all have the maximum area level by default
Ok cool, I have a quest in there that I havnt started yet. May have to do that
Can someone explain to me why this build runs so little Poison Resistance? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYej2yZCCKM
Is there something about Sentinel/Forge Guard/The Build Im not understanding?
Forged Minions Warpath Forge Guard 2.0 Tankiest Summoner In The Game Last Epoch Build Guide 8.4
If you are looking for a good minion build in Last Epoch, this is the place for you, as you can relax as your army of swords cleave through monoliths for you as you sip your lemonade tea. God Bless Forged Minions.
Hopefully this remains unchanged in...
It’s easy to avoid most poison attacks
^^^^
So it’s less important to cap out
the only poison's that kill you are ground poisons
So I just got to "endgame" w/ the keys and the monolith stuff. Should I just focus on quests monoliths and stuff for now and keep leveling, or when is a good time to try keys?
personally i’ve just been using mine whenever i had a legendary to make
imo just push through mono quests to get to empowered asap
the sanctum does seem to have decent exalted rates though so maybe there’s some value in that
but if you've got legendaries worth making obviously go for it
Ye, haven't played in a few patches, so alot of this new.
My gear is garbo but Spriggan feels OP
Only complaint with my yolo build is no movement skill 😛
prolly why they give you 10% MS in the passive tree when you're in Spriggan Form lol
you can also get the ring to make summon vines into a teleport
but ye, in general you have access to a lot of movement speed if you want it
Are Vale Spirits not minions anymore? Was going thru tree and realized it doesn't have the tag anymore?
I don't think so, yeah
they're now just a buff you get that cast more spirit thorns for you when you cast it
Yeah, the minion stuff I have still helping my spirggan pet, so prolly still worth but will just invest in it less. Will see how it goes.
good to trigger entangling vines which in turn can help your spriggbros immensely
yeah, have it triggering with circle mode to hit my spriggan so don't have the nodes up top for spell dmg from it but have extra proj and speed for him
and last question for now -- are there any good swords or axe bases for caster phys builds? Too lazy to go dig thru all that to see if dual wield is worth at all vs just a staff or focus offhand
swords can have the affix "adaptive spell damage"
the only real caster axe is tempest maw
sword-wise, there's rares with adaptive spell affix, aurelis has 20-28 lightning for spells and could be a neat legendary base for a caster sword
there is this node that pairs nicely with tempest maw
Yeah, I personally don't really like tempest maw or that node, but it's definitely an option
if I'm playing a spell build I'd rather just go like wand/scepter + bastion or staff
Yeah, didn't go that deep, just min 20 into Primalist currently.
even if not melee?
yeah, it's just for the DR
Haven't had that much experience with Endurance as a mechanic, currently I just instant heal myself with blessing whenever I take any damage
it's basically a 25% multiplier to your 1-shot EHP
and makes any healing/leech you have significantly better
Yeah, true
Can def fit it in soon ish.
Finishing up maxing out Eternal Nature, then can pick that up before going into shaman nodes.
Was looking at Hideskin, but its alot of points.
that and the aspect of the boar + porcine consitution nodes feel pretty mandatory to me for almost any primalist atm, which is definitely a pretty big point investment
hideskin is insane too
I personally would want to figure out how to fit all three in a build
How many skill points do you get total?
Not sure how hard it is to hit 100 compared to PoEW
113
113
Oh, yeah, can def fit in there.
100 is like 25-30 hours of playtime for a fast clearing build
from level 1
more like 40-50 if it's a slower build or you're taking your time with it
Yeah, prolly that for me, just making it up as I'm going rn, feels strong tho
I generally get to empowered ~level 84-85 ish sometimes a bit lower and then hit 100 around 250-270 ish corruption
Currently at 78 points spent. Maxing out Eternal Nature, Hideskin, and Berserker would bring me up to 96
Boar Heart is easy to get to cause I'm already there for Artor's
Would need to shove an extra 4 points in to reach procine somewhere tho
porcine constitution might be a stretch
Yeah
but it's really strong defenses
Was planning on taking 8 in shaman, too for attunement/penetration node at the start, seemed super stong
I've managed to get my werebear to empowered basically deathless with 0% resists due to the combo of boar + berserker + hideskin
also the free crit avoid from spriggan companion
ye, super nice aura
about to get the dodge from it, too
tbh I'm prolly too invested in stat nodes, but I liked them so far for early game
will see how it goes.
there are a few that are decent, but generally they're not that efficient
since they're often only 4% damage per point
I was messing with the 8 point bonuses for armor and crit avoid in druid currently
I like the crit avoid one personally
between that and spriggan it's very easy to get capped crit avoid
and save yourself the blessing slot and suffix
yeah
might be able to fit aspect of the boar idols in build, too, so I like that -- been having trouble finding idols that help alot.
Endurance working is similar way.
Yes, it is. It's unbelieveble strong node.
Especially for LL primalist melee builds.
even for full-life builds, it's hard to beat 5 points for 25% more EHP
I tested myself and EHP calc. Endurance it's awesome mechanic. Very easy to cap, and very strong.
Before I underestimated her power.
Very recommend for endgame builds, deep corrupt monoliths and something.
Yeah, can fit in all the defensive stuff you guys listes EXCEPT Porcine and be a 109 points, so should work out bell.
Means no Ancient Stones from shaman -- but tbh looking at dropping minion dmg and making spriggan buff bot 100% anyway 😛
113 points. You not on 100 lvl?
I'm level 64 😛
This mean u not need endurance now.
Yeah, don't have it yet, plenty of armor and dodge and feel op
How many hp u have?
992
U need much more.
HP is main key to build u EHP is well.
If u build all defence layers that u have, but little hp pool, u have oneshot again and again.
Yeah, dropping the minion damage focused stuff I have would be an easy swap for alot of the HP nodes.
told you
@brittle atlas u can help me with formula? How many damage i need take with endurance and endurance threshold to die? Now i use EHP calc, but not see formula.
Are fractures still in the game? Or does the new crafting stystem just run out of crafting potential and end?
Run out of crafting potential and end.
I wouldn't mind some super rare rune that lets you give something a 1FP boost
for old times sake
if i put a class specific affix on a legendary, will i still get the benefit if another class wears it?
Arborus — 12/07/2021
iirc you'd mentioned that class specific affixes will make legendaries class restricted, right?
Mike W — 12/07/2021
Yes
Straight from a dev
cool, ty
yw
is +1 upheaval going to be added to the game?
(if so, are there any dates announced?)
yes, it didn't make in time for the patch. No specifics, but my guess is next few weeks. (possibly longer with the holiday season coming)
sadge
I think it's change come to next major patch, not early.
nah it will be in one of the next minor patches
guess we will see 8.4.x stuff coming till at least end of the year
hopefully after christmas holidays i can finalize the build with some +1 upheaval
Has anyone else encountered a problem with Steam not recognising that Last Epoch has stopped running? Only started happening with the 0.8.4 patch.
Happens to me all the time but it’s more of the icon not displaying correctly as I’m able to launch the game normally even if it’s on the “Stop” icon
The Stop button simply doesn't work, and quitting Steam has it sitting there waiting for Last Epoch until I can force quit. May try a full reboot.
whats the diff between this channel and "last epoch general"?
here it was supposed to be channel for help and the other for global discussions
Daaaamn majas naga thingy boss is hard

is anyone else having trouble patching?
Im doing it on steam and everytime its about to complete it says "missing file privileges
Nope, it worked flawlessly for me, as usual
How rare are the blood and frost gloves man, I think ive done like 15 runs now over the past two days and no gloves
i did it and cannot run the game now, its is crashing to the desktop after i hit play
😔
Hmm, ive opened a ticket but I imagine theyre pretty choked up with the new patch
gonna reboot my pc
i think that's a steam issue rather than a last epoch issue
Does LE on steam show as 100%, despite not being fully downloaded yet, to anyone else?
yes
Its most likely just finalising the update
from the games list it just appears as a bug
in downloads what does it say on disk usage?
it was literally still downloading the game but it said 'patching: 100%'
seems to be actually done now tho
Yeah was probably finalising stuff on your system as opposed to actually downloading
no, I could click on it and see the 'downloading' bar at 1.4gb left
ah I see, odd
but in the 'library' tab it would just say 100%
and I've only ever see LE do this
out of my what, 4 steam games
but if it's just a me-issue then whatever
just thought I'd hear if it was a prevalent one
if its just for me then its prolly resolved through reinstalling steam/LE
You could always get the standalone client if you prefer it
standalone does rule for PoE
But I think I like the cloud saves.. does that work with the standalone client for LE?
sadly not
yea then I think I'll wait. Soon enough tho, can't imagine multiplayer being functional without it
Ok, but what if i updated the game and i cannot start it because of CTD? ;
Is anyone running Abyssal Echoes with the Armor Shred node (Rippling Corrosion)? It doesn't seem to do anything wrong and I'm just wondering if I'm missing something.
Anyone know if this can proc again if you never 'directly' use the skill?
someone take pity and tell me where dungeon keys drop?
There isn't a specific source, they drop randomly
yea i got 3 from leveling
Rare enemies and timeline bosses are the most reliable source
take it they start dropping at 55+
honestly, I have a bias towards bigger monsters, like the ones that hurl a stone in a circle
shit then im just really unlucky. levelled a new char through the story and finished the first timeline. not a single key
Taking the time to clear echoes of rares would probably be the best bet, might not be as efficient
if you generally skip the bigger mobs, that might be why shrug
if i can see it, it dies. probably just bad luck
I 100% dmed knocks asking what I was doing wrong on Saturday 😂
Can confirm 😄
on a related note, I threw away my first 3 keys from going in against the boss blind kek
here's to another 5 keys being thrown away cheers
can you shred resistance below 0?
Yep
most enemies have 0% resists baseline
How hard is the new dungeon roughly -- Can I go in at level 85 and upgrade my unique now that I have an exalt for it?
yes, but can you shred resistance below 0?
yes
alright, thanks
the lower level versions seemed pretty trivial to me
the 100 version you definitely need to avoid stuff cause most things will 1 tap you
Ah, yeah just put a key in, level 55 should be a joke
Will a 1 legendary potential always grab the exalted mod, or is it random?
random
I wish it would do that lol
Game won't launch after today's patch. Any ideas?
can I get an affix reserved to a specific class on an exalted item, put it on a unique, and use it on another class?
no
or does the leg get class restriction?
legs get the class restriction
ok
and it won't let you mix class requirements
there's just not really anything worth putting on here, is there?
wands cant roll minion damage so id say no.
unlucky
I wish it was a sceptre base now that would be 💸
is it possible to get lp on omnis?
yes, just exceptionally rare
ok time to farm it i guess
is the game multiplayer yet?
!multiplayer
Multiplayer is still being worked on. Here's an update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.
Set items can or cannot have legendary potential?
cannot
what does attunment do
+2 mana per point, and buffs anything that deals with attunement
Legendary Potential can appear on any Unique right? There are no Uniques that will always have 0 LP, right?
the quest ones always have 0
Quest ones?
Like Monolith Quests or other Quests?
Gamblers fallacy and the elemental leech gloves forget their name, and the one from the big petal monster
all those items never have LP ever
ok so Monolith specific uniques can get LP
yes
I dont see a lot of uniques so I wanted to know if I was simply unlucky or not
Do we have #s or %s on the frequency of LP 0-4?
Is there any benefits to solo/hardcore?
There is a rough system you can look at on letools, basically lower level required items are more likely to have higher LP
so a bleeding heart which is al evel6 item is more likely to have higher LP then a level 70 item
But exact rates are not really known
you looking in the item database?
And some items break the mold, humming bee which is a level 6 item is considered higher level for LP
making it more unlikely to have high values despite being a low level item
The one Im looking at says Effective Level for Legendary Potential: 40
So I need to get it at level 40?
Going from 0-100?
that number is just a modifier to its chance to have lp
0 is easiest to get lp on
115 is the hardest currently
yeah its all rough, there is no exact math
just helps give a broad understanding of "easier or harder"
Alrighty then guess I was unlucky
LP is quite rare in general
Since you guys are here, can you explain "(2-4)% of Melee Minion Damage Leeched as Health on Hit" to me?
I swear for minion builds these tags arent as specific as they should be
idk whats being healed me or the minion
its like normal leech but instead of the health going to your minion, it goes to you instead
oh nvm
read that wrong
its just minion leech, leech for minions. it works like normal leech, but just for your minions not you.
They need there own leech stats, like necro has leech rate for minions in their tree etc.
got it, so my minions can be more durable with that effect
Yeah leech is pretty good for minions
does anyone else have an issue where LE and only LE makes a studdering/buzzing sound in their audio?
its a known bug, upheaval causes it really badly
kk. I've noticed it even if I'm just standing idle in town so that's why I wanted to ask
Are triggered skills considered cast? Such as Icicle via Reign of Winter?
Say, if I wanted to use Twisted Heart with it.
wow damn emperor of corpses with that crazy aoe soul bomb
how the fuck are you supposed to avoid that melee without a movement skill?
obv not taking a movement skill is pretty dumb but now even more of a reason to
even some that just say cast generally seem to not work on triggers. Gaspars insight states that you use decimate if you use a cold spell. ucenuis sphere says you cast water orb when you hit. all the wording lines up, but it sadly does not work.
Ah, I wanted to use a general example and failed.
That's a shame. That makes things pretty limited.
Is there a way to fix this? I went 1920x1440 borderless window on my 2560x1440 screen to boost my FPS. Since the update is tanking my FPS so I am looking for ways to go back up. I am already at low graphics and such. The UI is cut and I can't do anything except put my resolution back up.
you need at least ~20% movement speed to walk out of it consistently
so yeah, boots with movement on them
a source of haste helps a ton obviously
there are plenty of uniques with movement speed you might be able to sub in if you've got them
if you're under his snout do you need to start moving right when you see the animation?
I had a couple of ways to handle it, I was just curious because it seems brutal
a basic character is going to have ~34% movement on average (endgame boots base with T5 movement speed)
so it's pretty easy with that
if you've got haste you'll haste 54%
passives could easily have you into the 60s or 70s
the melee rogue I've been using to farm monoliths for example has 152%
wow
So are bosses just generally tanky in this game compared to other ARPGs? Or does my single target suck? 😛 My clear hast felt fine so not sure.
And by boss I mean Echo's of Orobyss and end of quest boss thingys.
bosses are generally not particularly tanky
but it's also very build dependent
some builds just have really bad single target
Yeah, thinking that's where I am at 😛
any tips for majasa first time fighting her and struggling to kill her
running a low life swarm build
phys res, endurance %, ways to recover hp
moving around her
her melee attack cone is pretty narrow
I was able to outheal her, but her 2nd phase is rough -- she is FAST. Gotta be able to survive at least 1 hit from her, imo.
Alright boys, does the gloves from frost blood and death require empowered? LEtools says no, my rng says yes
this would be werid if it did but does shadows count as minion damage
no
I got it non empowered after something like 49 kills
oh god is it that rare
I think it's 15%
Game clearly hates me then
im on 14 or 15 kills
yeah I definitely farmed mine in empowered
doesn't seem like any reason to do it in regular tbh
well I was just doing it for faster turn around, does it have a higher chance in empowered
no, but your rate of getting stability should be significantly faster
due to the corruption multiplier
which...is 25% more?
you only need 400 in regular
If your build is gimped without the gloves dont do empowered ofc
yeah, I guess I was thinking farming it with another character
my build can handle 100 but cant really push its just what I have rn that is kinda fast
like I farmed mine on my lich at ~320-ish corruption iirc
I gave up farming it on character that needed it and grabbed another char with 8 billion movespeed surge build
im a rogue so im decently fast, but yeah my build isnt optimized just sounds like I gotta just keep going and ill get it eventually 😛

time to brick an lp valdyr's
I got a 1lp bee a few minutes ago but I'm too scared to use it.
better than nothing, but not what I was going for
Eh better than a regular one
I wanted to hit frailty
ST starting to get a little better, I just needed to actually craft some gear finally after 80 levels 😛
what is the strat to get the right affixes on a legendary?
rune of removal and pray?
on a legendary?
you can't craft them after you combine
and need 4 affixes to use the cache
the strat is to pray and hope it works out
I've only used the cache once, didn't know you needed 4 affixes
hey guys quick question which unique weapon would you gives the best physical damage stat?
anyone knows if poison pen works with minion poison
if it's minion poison penetration yes
but generally, if you (or your minions) are applying a lot of poison stacks then the penetration stat is extremely low impact
since it's additive with the innate resistance shredding of poison
yes, most enemies have 0% base resists
and can go negative
there's no limit on the shred on poison stacks
specific resistance shred ailments (like "chance to shred cold resistance" blessing) only stack to 20
I haven't really been active over the last year, but has there been anything mentioned about being able to fully respec eventually? Or did they not want that as an option
Is there any class that has the playstyle of big single hits/crits?
I’ve seen quite a few videos of classes doing like 10 hits per second and they all look the same
Or at least a class that needs to set up skills to deal a gigantic burst of damage at once
I think a move speed erasing strike void knight might be what you are looking for
get darkstriders, highest +melee void weapon - probably apathy's maw from oroboros - and skill cleave to auto crit your next erasing strikes, round em up and big boy hit them down
not too gear intensive, but scales really well with even better gear one shots everything except bosses
there is also lightening meteor but ive never played it so someone else has to comment
there is also earthquake werebear which is decent but I personally dont like the play style because it rewards uninteresting gameplay, like cleave/ES is fun because you have to line it up and sometimes make risky moves and timing to get the most out of it, earthquake you just sort of press the maul button so it is really good for 'story focused gamers' if that is your thing, earthquake is the only build my 4 year old can play successfully
they should all be roughly similar but by playing it you will get a sense of what to focus
only downside is your really need the boots to make it work, but I think they are a pretty common drop so you can farm them in the boot timeline if you dont already have them.
anyways godspeed exile!
ah, looks like it's locked behind a high timeline
guess I'll farm with my abom necro a bit longer
whoops
just realized I had one sitting around in the stash XD
is dreamthorn a good weapon to use while leveling?
one of the best
i think around lvl50 or so you can do better
What's the maximum level you can get on a skill?
20 baseline + items
I see. So is it possible to get 20 minimum skill level?
no
minimum skill level is 10? maybe 11 at around lvl 90
doesnt really matter at lvl 90 you can get any skill to 20 in sub 10 minutes
Min lvl is 10.
But on 100 lvl timelines get 1 echo with exp books, and you instantly get 20 lvl to skills.
Or farm 5-10 minutes 100 lvl echoes.
esp. the levels till 16 are like kill 5 guys per level lol
at that point the minimum level could be 16-18 wouldnt change anything
can legendary potential apply to set items as well not sure if its been asked?
Nope
os wasnt sure as was thinking of doing a lightning mage but turn meteor into a lightning based skill
with vilatria's downfall though i do need to get the other peace of that set first lol
I play with someone new to ARPG who wanted to play paladin, unfortunately being less used to ARPG she does struggle keeping the auras and buffs constantly and due to forgetting them don't really enjoy the build I've give her.
I never tried paladin so I can't really help her, does someone have a build that is easy to play ?
Does the speed at which you summon totems scale with increase cast speed?
yes
the speed YOU summon them not the speed the totem casts anything
did they fix locuts swarm +4 seconds in bear form switch? Not listed in patch notes but looks like they generally bug fixed the bug
does summoned spriggans auras stack?
is +1 to swarmblade gear in the game?
Not yet, should be added in a smaller patch soon
ty
Any tips on leveling up after finishing the campaign
does it matter if u farm the same mono or progress through the other ones
You'll wanna just progress through all the monos
Ah okay. Cause i've been sitting in the 2nd mono farming for Vitra's crown
but leveling has been basically non-existent
cause i already have Vitra's staff idk the name, the one thatm akes your meteor electric
but idk if it's worth using on it's own
Oh yeah, well it's fine to farm an item like that if you need it
If I remember correctly though the crown is very rare, might be there a while
yeah that's what the interwebs said
when i looked it up
cause i got the staff and the staff seems really nice
but idk if it's worth to only wear it
you have around a 3% chance to get a vilatrias crown from the item type specific unique echos in the normal monolith
and about the same in empowered supposedly
does the item rarity modifier in monos affect the drops of the timeline boss, their specific target farm item especially?
how did rune of ascendes work with item levels again? does it use your own level?
**item type specific unique echos ** what
u mean those that have unique item as the reward?
the ones that have a specific item type unique as a reward
I dont know what that means
a unique item as a reward is any unique that can drop
echos have specific item type unique ones
but that's a set item , not a unique
its the same
thats the symbol for the echo
you have a 2-3% chance to get vilatrias crown from it
i assumed that was what you were talking about when you said farming it
if you're just farming it by killing enemies, then id heavily suggest just progressing through timelines
i mean i almost never see unique or set helmet echoes
if i see one , or set item just in general
from set item reward echos, you have a 1% chance to get vilatrias crown
i always go for it
Yeah i go far out as i can
just progress through the timelines
until i reach the reset nodes
and farm when you're in empwoered
what's the drop rate then
Its complicated
the same, but you get more of the rarer echo reward types
and you get more uniques/set items dropping from enemies
oh I thought you meant from enemies
I see
have you played wow?
yep
but i get the idea
ok , then you think it's worth using just the staff?
on it's own
cause idk about that
yeah, you're basically doing lfr atm, just keep progressing until you have real end game 😄
Its not a bad staff overall
id have no idea without seeing the build
But the set really takes it up a notch
i mean im playing electro mage, but i dont ahve a specific build
you're probably fine
I just pick up random shit and put it on
i mean, are you using meteor?
With lightning meteor you basically want to play like rogue
im using lightning bolt / black hole / static orb / shield / teleport
if you arent using meteor then you can find a better staff in the echo you're in
I am using a wand right now, idk the name but it drains 100% of my mana if it ever reaches full
I wanted to give lightning meteor a shot actually but the cast speed seems like a pain to deal with. hard to imagine it being able to deal with fast enemies
Yeah lol
I also have some kind of mental block for trying to set up defense on sorcerer
never seem to be able to figure out a good combination
I kinda wanna try ashen crown now that i was looking through the unique helmets
elemental nova not being on top of you seems amazing
its a super strong helm for his other stats too
the combo of dead: orians eye, prism wraps, ashen crown
what endgame zone do i farm to get purple staves?
Exalteds you get by playing
Just kill stuff and look for echoes that give exalted staves
some of the echos seems to favor diffrent item types
trying to figur out which ones favor staves
I'm pretty sure the class you play influences drops
The Stolen Lance
but thats for unique staff - the normal exalted staff echos can appear everywhere
20 but you can raise it with + to skills
How many can you get of those
I'm at 16 or something
I wonder if the way I have skills rn is the best. To be fair, some of my skills just are good as they are but they just have more points to go
Others I need moar
What i mean is how many on one item
Of the plus to skills
+4 is the t7 mod, then you can get some + ele or + phys with some uniques
Nice
Also I feel like I do a ton of damage, and I do good surivial kinda its not a problem rn
But mana
If I combo right I have it but sometimes I have none
And idk if this a good idea, but flurry is my mana generator, maybe I should take this to the rouge chat though
Is there a list on the wiki for legendaries and unquies
Does this also mean that Hail of Arrows scale with poison damage and bleed chance is converted to poison chance(like the node for HoA) or must it state that explicitly if that is the case?
Node for reference:
Hi guys yesterday I played normally but today when I start the game from steam I get this popup, it closes and then nothing happens, the "play" button from steam gets green again. anyone else is having this issue ?
Im up to Lagon with my 80lvl werebear and I keep getting one shot from ice/lightning beam. I have max'd res on both cold and lightning but it doesnt seem to be doing anything. Tips?
dodge the beam
like most of lagon's attacks it's fairly telegraphed
tanking it is probably much harder than learning the fight
i don't really get the impression you're meant to stand in it for any length of time
There are a few builds that can tank it but you're not supposed to.
ah, i thought the beam went all the way across the screen, but after watching a video it seems like you can dodge it by going all the way to the right/left. also maybe ill throw some garbage wolves out to be a meat target
Nope, it starts to one side of you & then goes to the other (based on which side of the map you're on when his eye goes red, it then goes from there to the edge closest to you, ignore the wiggle).
ty
I used warcry invul or fury leap to pass through it, or hell even run away when he starts cocking his head
yeah, you have time to get to the other side of the beam before it starts
ima give it another shot here in a second
You don't even need to move particularly far
Hi, i have question. If i have active quest of echo timeline (i skipped it when progressing monolith) can i achive it by completing lvl 100 echo or i must do it on normal echoes? (i dont like flashing quest question marks xd)
pretty sure you can do them in empowered
you can do them in empowered
thanks ❤️ i will try it! 🙂
Is there way to see the actual value of your minions health?
You can only really see the increase summed up, but not the actual health pool I believe. I think it was on the minion tab under your character sheet.
you can find it by hand, hovering a minion with alt shows base hp, health gain per level, then health from attribute if any, then you just multiply by %minion health
Cool, ty guys
what's the text to search for legendary potential items in your stash
"legendary" or part thereof?
I swear I read there was a search phrase you could use to find items with a certain amount of potential
You can now search your stash for items with Legendary Potential. For example, “2 legend” will highlight all items with exactly 2 Legendary Potential.
found it
"1 legen", that kind of thing
I mean, it's a search bar, just start typing relevant stuff & see what sticks.....
it in the patch notes for 0.8.4c I don't have access to it right now but you can find it there
how do I reset rewards for the temporal sanctum? tier 2-4 always offers the same thing
Can Trident of the Last Abyss have legendary potential?
Yes
Thanks for the quick response. What would be a good build to use it on?
What's a good recommended SSF build? New player so 0 stashed gear
Honestly, its highly recommended that you just hop in and play, play what sounds fun/interesting/cool to you. The game is very forgiving in a lot of aspects. That being said, if you're dead set on using a guide, I'd use https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ and peruse there for something that catches your eye.
Void knight has been treating me well.
Ty guys
Why are some monoliths better for farming certain uniques? Like why do they recommend Monolith of dragons to farm the aurelis sword?
Specific timelines have nodes that drop specific unique slots
The dragon one drops melee weapons
would the leech work with maelstorm?
As long as it is still dealing elemental damage yes.
thx
Is there a way to vendor materials?
what other characters have you tried that turned out to be really fun, ive only tried two but each one has like so many fun things i want to do with them its almost impossible to not commit to just one
also what is a purple item
no, no real reason to since they don't take up space
a purple item is "exalted" and has a T6 or T7 modifier
where a good place to find 8.4 builds ?
forums and youtube is it basically. https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ grabs from both as far as I know
a lot of 083 builds weren't changed, though
I see there's several build-defining sets / uniques for certain classes. there any way to find out if there's any specifc sets/uniues I might want for my build (Lich Drain Life)
other than looking through database, not particularly
for drain life lich I'd definitely suggest Marina's Lost Soul, Bastion of Honor, Omnis
I put a lot of time into dot lich last patch if you want my setup. Didn't change at all this patch other than being able to use some legendary bases now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnQk6uEYRlg

I jsut hit level 65. is there anything I should be doing / farming to get those items?
omnis is just universal XD. Maybe a handful of builds that it isn't best in slot for.
eh, legendary sure
but there are plenty of builds I wouldn't want just a normal omnis on
just push through to empowered monos and farm there
Well rolled for resists
what's that?
empowered monos? level 100 content, after you finish the three level 90 timelines. You'll probably get there around level 85 or so
kk
you shouldn't need to farm at all to get there really
just go for stability and quest echoes asap
how do you mana sustain in this build?
you only drop drain life circles during death seal and regen in between, everything else costs 0 mana
oh, you took the cast node
yeah, you can stack multiple casts with it
you need endurance % capped for sure
this build also gets quite a lot of armor from death seal/reaper form
my current build works pretty well
respecs are so cheap in this game, so definitely experiment like crazy
very basic
Wandering sustains my mana almost 100%
then sustained boss fights i can blood rip to refill
you should 100% get 60% endurance asap and use death seal
it's 65% more damage, 32.5% DR, on top of the in-tree buffs
far and away the most powerful skill on lich
ok i'll keep that in mind and add those to my filter
for endurance, highly recommend grabbing some engraved gauntlets
and putting endurance % suffix on rings
Endurance or endurance thersh?
endurance %
threshold is better than flat hp once you're using death seal too
but % hp and hybrid hp are still king
👍
your gear is honestly a lot better/more cohesive than most people I see tho
yeah, i just removed all teh crit cause I foudn out the DOT tag makes thigns not 'hit' even tho DL is a channeled tic
So, what should I be doing right now?
continue on through the monolith system doing the highest level timeline available until you unlock empowered
then in empowered set up to farm out blessings and then target farm uniques after that
👍 thnx
So Majasa second stage is kicking my ass as a necro. Would I ge better served with more armor or physical resistance?
Guys is there a list somewhere for the farmable uniques?
Yeah, I had the same problem until someone recommended maxing phys res and using a shield
Still some rng but if you have a lot of hp regen it becomes pretty doable
phys resistance and endurance % help a lot
did they remove increase minion damage from the game?
like has to be melee or dot
also is there a way to see damage logs?
There’s minion damage on weapons
it's on rings, relic, amulet, etc. weapons only have implicit or suffix minion damage affixes
I believe there's dot, melee, phys, spell minion damage suffixes
depending on the type of weapon
ty
is there a reason why i cant use chaos on this t3 ballista?
probably i dont have shards, but in any case i wanted to change it lol
upgrading to ballista should use 1 shard, not changing to something else but ok
you don't have shards for +ballista that's why you can't use the chaos glyph
o/ any idea why none of my +Level to X affix shards are showing for this relic?
Can't use them on the generic relics. Only available on class restricted relics.
ahh ok thank you!
how do i access empowered monoliths? ive cleared all the normal timelines
Go to the island connecting the last 3 one
If I have a spell that poisons, will spell damage affect the poison damage?
So -- is there anything useful to do with gold? Or is it just for respeccing? 😛
Gambler items all feel kinda useless w/ new crafting system
Stash tabs
Never enough of those
Also wouldn't surprise me if they buff gambling somehow
they need to if they want it to be anything more than a noob trap
It’s still useful for getting starter gear
But if you make it too lucrative it starts to become the more efficient method of farming gear over playing the game
They could probably remove the “low forging potential” from gambled items though and it’ll still be fine.
How about gambling for idols?
that's my main issue with it tbh. i used to use it for crafting bases
I wouldn’t mind having a gambling source for idols. They can add a lot of power to a build or enable one entirely sometimes
To me it would be a great gold sink.
Maybe an option to gamble for "Random" which could include shards, runes, idols, and scrolls?
Smaller chances of course. But it would help as a gold sink.
is anyone able to explain ele penetration to me and if there is a cut off where I don't need anymore? I can get my lightning penetration upwards 123% with passives and skill nodes along with 20 stacks of shock easily in game giving -100% resistance. just not sure how this equates into my damage total plus I have gear I could put on with Penetration.
all sources of - enemy res are additive
so you sum up the -enmey res % of pen, shred. shock
all those together is one multiplier
so if you have 50% pen, 20 shock stacks, and 20 lightning shred stacks on a boss thats 50%+ 20*2% + 20 * 20%
so you do 130% more damage
how do I check that cuase I thought each stack of shock was 4%?
So when the loading screen tips says the amount of mobs killed in an echo affects the reward chest -- is that the generic reward chest or the type specific one?
the generic one probably, but I don't know that its actually a thing anymore. It's not really noticeable when just playing normally, and I don't know if anyones actually tested it out to see what the difference is
I never get anything good from the generic chest
that's not entirely correct, shock has 60% less effect against bosses
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/shock
is chill shorter if you dont have any cold damage?
thats why i calculated shock with 2% @bronze ocean ... isnt it 5% and 2%? ... and next im too dumb to sum up 50 + 40 + 40 .. thats 130 🙂
alliments dont care for what damage type you apply them with usually so no your chill from fire damage isnt "worse" than from cold
Ah, I see, I thought it was for res shred
Hey there fellas ! I'm getting back into LE with latest changes, wanna try up a new class. Is there any shortcut around story mode nowadays, or gear to speed it up on a reroll ?
You can skip part of hte campaign with the new dungeon but it's far from easy
OK, i guess idol slots and some amount of skill points are to be gotten from quests. Any type of gear, or craft, can be used to speed up a reroll, then ? (couldn't find information about it, if there is any 🙂 )
After the changes to the crafting system I never seen any negative outcomes. Can you no longer brick your items with crafting?
no you can only bring them to 0 potential
meaning you cant craft anymore
but thats about it
stack runspeed and you should need not longer than 1,5 hours to mastery and around 3-4 hours to get all idols/passives (around chapter 8)
So crafting is now strictly an upgrade mechanic?
yep kind of
I see. So can you get a tier 6 affix with a critical success on a tier 4 affix?
No
exalts are born naturally by drops 😛
I think tier 5 is the max upgradable, tier 6 and the rarest 7 are drop only.
This build not needed or maybe little set for 084? Maybe upgrades with legendaries or 5 affixes.
What is the reason for that? I no play on lich seriously. Only through campaign.
Death seal drops you down to I believe 33% HP instantly when you activate it (when you take the node for it) and keeps your HP sealed at that % throughout its duration. If you have a average amount of endurance threshold, it’s also instantly activates the defensive throughout death seal, so you’d be taking 60% less damage while at the same time being at the “low health” threshold for a massive damage increase.
Increase or more damage? 60% less damage taken its huge.
