• Fixed an issue where player was unable to properly use Flame Rush while channeling Focus with Mana Guide equipped.
  
• Fixed Crest of Unity not forcing Elemental Nova to have all elemental tags.
  
• Fixed a bug with Volatile Reversal where allocating Immutable Past did not prevent triggering effects that require being able to jump backwards in time, such as Warped Time.
  
• Fixed a display bug with Volatile Reversal where allocating ‘Immutable Past’ did not remove the buff UI icon displaying how long you have remaining on your ability to re-activate Volatile Reversal to jump a second time.
  
• Fixed an issue where Shield Throw would create multiple shields if Void Knight mastery was selected.
  
• Fixed a bug with Rebuke where Burst of Speed was not granting Haste, and was instead granting 25% increased movement speed.
  
• Fixed a bug where, under certain conditions, Fallen From Grace and Order of Lagon could fail to convert Smite’s base damage to void or lightning respectively.
  
• Fixed a bug with the Forge Guard passive tree where many sources of Haste didn’t have their effects converted to block chance by Forgemaster’s Might.
  
• Fixed a bug where Heartseeker would target invulnerable enemies.
  
• Fixed a bug where Heartseeker would prioritize targeting certain enemy types over others. For example, Exiled Mages could not be targeted unless there were no other enemies in range.
  
• In the Bladedancer passive tree, Argent Veil has been clarified to state that it only triggers when damage taken by enemies puts you below 70% health (rather than any means of dropping below 70% health).
  
• The alt text for Shadow Cascade now has additional information clarifying that Shadow Cascade has 10% base critical strike chance, instead of the typical 5%.
  
• Fixed a bug where the visual trails for Umbral Blades would travel less distance than the blades in the ground.
  
• Fixed a bug where a portion of Dread Shade visuals would be inside of the minion they were attached to.
  
• Fixed a bug where Thorn Shield stayed in spawn place after scene transitions.
  
• The Blizzard’s Wrath, Thunderous Storm, and Grand Cyclone nodes now display subskill tooltips for Tempest Strike’s spells, allowing their descriptions and tags to be viewed. They do not currently offer DPS estimates.

• Fixed an issue where players could get stuck after using movement abilities in the Tundra near the inactive bridge.

Made a number of fixes and changes to Imprinted items:

• Fixed an issue where altering the original imprinted item could affect the imprint itself.
  
• Fixed a bug where imprinted Unique, Set, and Legendary items were unable to result in generating different Uniques or Sets than the imprinted one.
  
• Fixed imprinted item remaining Weavers Will and Affix tiers not correctly corresponding to dropped item average Weaver’s Will for imprinted Legendary Weaver’s Will items.
  
• Fixed an issue where replacing an imprinted item on the Weaver Tree sometimes didn’t remove the other item visually.
  
• Added a chance for imprinted normal/magic/rare/exalted items to result in drops of Unique and Set items of the same item type.
  
• Reworked Forging Potential roll for similar items. Low and medium Forging Potential imprinted items result in drops with higher FP on average, and even low Forging Potential imprinted items have a chance to result in items with normal Forging Potential.
  
• Guests’ Imprint nodes now work as long as the Host has the same imprint node. The guests’ imprinted items are used for their drops instead of the Host’s. This does not include Woven Echo imprint nodes.

• Fixed a bug where using Portal charms would result in one more mod than intended for dungeon tiers where a mod was added when you started the dungeon.
  
• Fixed a bug where the each cast of the Imperial Soulmage’s Hungering Soul ability would permanently increase the damage of any Flaming Soul cast by the Imperial Pyromancer.
  
• Fixed an issue where dying on the Monolith Hub with items around you could visually duplicate the items on the floor.
  
• Fixed a bug that prevented the quest pulse directing you to the Temple of Eterra from appearing after defeating the Giant Weather Statue boss in the Courtyard.
  
• Fixed an issue where the Eternity Cache would not play its reveal visual effect.
  
• Fixed an issue where you could see Memory Amber remaining from previous zones.
  
• Fixed an issue where players could interact with a echo portal and a Cemetery entrance/exit in the same frame, causing transition errors and preventing movement.

• Fixed a bug where the Loom Walker idol (increased stun chance and added stun avoidance) was acting as a multiplier to other sources of increased stun chance, rather than adding to them.
  
• Fixed a bug where Mantle of the Pale Ox was giving an amount of increased health for the player that was different from what was stated. For existing items, the listed values for “20-32% increased health for you and your minions” will change to accurately reflect the amount of increased health it was granting to the player.
  
• Fixed a bug where Grasp of the Blood Mage’s mana spent reflected to you as damage could set you to 1 health after taking you out of Reaper Form. It can still take you out of Reaper Form, but your health will be restored to full as usual.

• Fixed an issue where players could use Warpath without moving when using WASD.
  
• Fixed an issue on controller where UI fields would be skipped while navigating Unique item names in the Bazaar.

• Fixed Warpath MTX from sometimes spawning doubled visual effects.

Hello Travelers,
Welcome to the Eterra Monthly: April Edition! The month of April was a giant leap forward for Last Epoch. After a 9-month wait, Travelers all over the world were finally able to launch the 1.2 Season 2: Tombs of the Erased Patch! With new friends, challenges, skills, Factions, gear, Echoes, and so much more, April gave us a lot to talk about. So let’s dive in and see how things are going in the world of Eterra.


Patch 1.2 Tombs of the Erased was the launch patch for Last Epoch Season 2. Travelers flocked to the servers in an enormous show of support. While there is simply too much to talk about in this one blog, we will go over some of the big things Season 2 brought us. For all of the other juicy details, check out the Massive 100+ page Patch Notes[forum.lastepoch.com], or the Hype Week Blog Posts 1[forum.lastepoch.com], 2[forum.lastepoch.com], 3[forum.lastepoch.com], & 4[forum.lastepoch.com].


*“Rejoice, Traveler! We’ve prepared a Silken Tomb for you. Woven with golden strands that even you cannot break.”* Masque delivered this line to us more than a month ago with the reveal of the Season 2 Trailer. It’s enough to make your skin crawl, and boy, did the Weaver deliver! The Woven Faction is the newest Endgame Faction for Travelers to join after completing their first Tomb or Cemetery in the Monolith of Fate. After this, Travelers will be taken to a new Monolith Island called The Haven of Silk. On this island, Travelers will be free to speak with Masque and spend Memory Amber so they can progress through the Faction ranks.

As Travelers earn ranks and complete challenges, they will earn Weaver Tree Points that can be spent in the Weaver Faction tree, allowing them to manipulate their Echo map. Travelers can also visit the Woven Altar inside the Cemeteries to slot Woven Echoes into their Echo map for new and exciting challenges.


Have you ever wanted to destroy hordes of enemies with a single arrow? Have you ever wanted to compete with Legolas and save your arrows at the same time? Have you ever wanted to do both of those things and whistle a discordant tune while doing it? Well, now you can. Heartseeker is the newest Skill in the Marksman skill arsenal and is unlocked at 30 passive points in the Marksman Passives tree.

Launching a ranged projectile with the ability to recurve to the same target repeatedly, Heartseeker is highly capable in both Hit and DoT style builds to bring high-health targets to their knees. With Heartseeker, you will find a new mechanic in Last Epoch: Recurve Chance.


While Volatile Reversal may have the spotlight for the Sentinel Rework, there’s a whole lot of other changes for the class with this update in both Skills and Passives. Since this is a significant overhaul of the class and its subsequent masteries, we encourage you to check out all of the details in the Patch Notes and Hype Week Blog Post #2 linked above.


Season 2 has come with 8 Hotfixes and Patches thus far, making it our largest game improvement to date! Let’s take a look at what changed since the Season 2 launch.

1.2.0.1

• Fixed performance issues related to loot filters and related UI elements
  
• Fixed Echoes not counting as failed in some cases
  
• Fixed keys from Season stashes not merging into Legacy stashes
  
• Fixed Echoes not reducing rewards and enemy density and adjusting shrines on repeat attempts

1.2.0.2

• Fixed a bug where Lizards could be spawned multiple times in Vault of the Barnacle
  
• Fixed an issue where Loot Filters with a large number of rules would cause a frame hitch when opened
  
• Fixed a bug where Smite MTX was removing the visuals for Fissure
  
• And plenty more! (See linked Post)[forum.lastepoch.com]

Server Side Hotfix

• Fixed a bug where Null Portent’s 1% less damage taken per 2% resistance above the normal resistance cap was not capped to 20%

1.2.0.4

• Fixed an interaction where items dropped by the Weaver Tree Imprint were able to gain Legendary Potential by using a Rune of Ascendance in the Forge.

1.2.1

• Fixed a UI bug where “Back Quote” would appear written out instead of displaying as the symbol, ` .
  
• Fixed several small bugs that prevented Void Rahyeh from animating correctly.
  
• Fixed a visual issue with the Healing Hands Skyfall VFX.
  
• And plenty more! (See linked Post)[forum.lastepoch.com]

1.2.1.1

• Reverting a change that inadvertently caused issues with being able to rejoin Echoes after the player had already died.
  
• Fixed an issue that caused the Relic of the Observer in the Oerden’s Watch Woven Echo to not function.

1.2.1.2

• Fixed a bug where stashes with more than 255 Uniques selected for a tab priority would not sync to the client correctly, causing visual issues, such as tabs not showing.

1.2.2

• Fixed Aerial Assault not using the intended targeting system on a controller.
  
• Fixed an issue where Aerial Assault landed where you move instead of where you cast when the ‘Storm on the Horizon’ node was allocated.
  
• Fixed a conflict between WASD movement and enabled Move & Attack option, improving WASD functionality.
  
• And More!

1.2.2.1

• Fixed an issue where various game objects (shrines, items, etc) were not clickable while channeling.
  
• Fixed an error in player initialization.
  
• Fixed an error when retrieving Friends list.

One of the hottest topics in Season 2 is the long-awaited Mastery Respec. Travelers have been asking for this option for some time, and EHG delivered! But we’ve seen some questions about how and where to make it work.

Once you’ve unlocked the End of Time during the main campaign, Travelers will get to choose one of the 15 masteries made available between the 5 base classes. This choice was once the ONLY decision in Last Epoch that couldn’t be undone. Well, not anymore. Turns out EHG put the Epoch to good use and added a new Respecialization option to Chronomancer Lerinne.

It’s important to know two things before you decide to hop over and change your career path.

1. This respc can only be done at the End of Time. Visiting a Chronomancer at any other point in the game will not allow you to change your mastery. Lerinne is the only one who knows how to do it.
2. It’s going to cost you some coin to convince her. The cost to respec your mastery scales from 100g at level 1, up to 1,000,000g at level 100, and is combined with the price for respeccing all allocated passive points. Respeccing your mastery will also reset all of your passive points. So, make sure you really want to change before paying up.

It’s the day after patch launch! There was no stream this week. Instead, the studio encouraged everyone to tune into their favorite streamers and show them support instead. Really, you should always do this, especially for the small streamers!

4-25-25

Mike returns to the Official Last Epoch stream channels with a look at the first week of Season 2!


This month’s Build Spotlight is going to send a chill through your spine… well, at least your enemies. TriKster’s Icicle Heartseeker Marksman[www.lastepochtools.com] utilizes raw Dexterity and Cold Damage to boost multiple projectiles from the Heartseeker skill with the cold conversion node Controlled Icicle. This build does utilise some specific Uniques, so put on your farming hat. You’re going to need Peak of the Mountain[www.lastepochtools.com] to greatly improve your Critical Strike Chance. A Reign of Winter bow[www.lastepochtools.com], preferably with a crafted exalted, Crit Chance, and Bow Attack Speed affix[www.lastepochtools.com]. Toss in Mourningfrost boots[www.lastepochtools.com], which will heavily boost our cold damage for all projectiles. Ucenui's Sphere[www.lastepochtools.com] will be your best option for a relic to rake in even more cold damage.

Like all great builds, there are some Pros and Cons, but for that, we encourage you to check out the Build Guide. Now get out there and win the world's most dangerous snowball fight!


This month was a wild one filled with twists, turns, and enough chaos to outshine a Chaos Bolt Barrage. But through it all, we got to talk to our very own Influencer Manager, Foton!

Tell us a little about your job and what it includes.

• I wear a couple of hats that are pretty closely intertwined. My primary hat is Influencer Manager, where I work with content creators of all sizes, making sure they have the information, assets, and overall support that they need. Our content creator program exceeds 1200 creators now, so it's quite a bit of work making sure they've all got what they need. It's not unlikely you'll see me in your favorite Last Epoch streamers' chat from time to time. I also do things like organize interviews, plan Twitch Drop campaigns, and more. If you're watching sponsored Last Epoch Content, you can safely bet I was involved in making that content happen.
  
• My secondary hat is Social Media Manager. The posts you see are usually written by me. A lot of the marketing and communication there is a team effort, and I work closely with Community Managers on a lot of that. And when I can get away with it, I meme.

What inspired you to get into Video Game Marketing, and how did you end up at this studio?

• I've wanted to work in video games since childhood. I always envisioned myself as a designer or director, or engineer. In a million years, I would never have expected myself to land in marketing. Much less influencer management. This may be my first job in the industry, but the industry has had its claws in me for a long time.

How does working at an indie studio differ from working at a larger studio?

• I have no idea. I get the vibe that EHG is sort of a special place within the industry, and very much not the norm.
  How do you balance working from home with your home life?
  
• It's pretty challenging sometimes. I genuinely love what I do, and I have a harder time breaking away from work than I do fighting distractions. The trick is to log out of Steam.
  How do you balance creativity with practical constraints like time, budget, or technical limitations?
  
• That's probably the hardest part of the work. Marketing, whether it be influencer or social media focused, is all creative work. And you will reach practical constraints, often. It's important not to let them slow you down or defeat you. Hitting a wall isn't failure. Failure isn't necessarily bad. These things teach us and allow us to grow. And in the marketing department, it's extremely important to throw your ideas out there earnestly. Even if they seem like bad ones. It's a very collaborative process, and there's a good chance someone is facing similar constraints.

What’s the most impactful lesson you've learned while working in an indie studio?

• So, this is a great question that I touched on in the last answer. Collaboration is key. Everyone here is here because they have a passion for the work. Everyone brings their own experiences, perspectives, and thought processes to the table. All equally valid and important. Remembering that you are all working towards the same goal is important. Your ideas, no matter how good they are, aren't going to come out of that the same as they went in. And that's a good thing.

How do you stay motivated and creative, especially during long or difficult projects?

• I make memes to blow off steam. Some of those make it onto Reddit or our socials. It reframes my way of thinking and reminds me of why I do what I do.
  What kind of feedback from players do you find most helpful or motivating?
  
• I always feel a little warm and fuzzy when one of the aforementioned memes goes over well. I put a lot of myself into those.

Is there anything you’ve worked on that you are particularly proud of? Anything that stands out as an achievement?

• Tour of the Erased. One day, I might tell the story of how this came to be. I learned a lot from it. There were a lot of moving parts, and there were a lot of ways it could have gone wrong. But ultimately, through collaboration with the creators, the team that appeared on the podcast, the marketing team, and the community team, it turned out great. And achieved a lot of the goals we set for it at the onset. Even with last-minute changes to the schedule, we had solid engagement and positive sentiment. I'm already planning the next one.

What advice would you give someone who wants to get into this industry?

• Don't give up. There are a lot of ways you can contribute to the creation of a game. Games need Coders, Technical Artists, Traditional Artists, A myriad of Writers, Marketers, Graphic Designers, Game Designers, Operations Specialists, Community Managers, Audio Designers, Composers, Testers, and so much more. (I'm sorry to any team members that I accidentally left out.) Find a specialty, find something you truly love to do, and pursue it wholeheartedly. Be open to opportunities that might be exactly what it is you want to do.

Is there anything else you’d like to tell our readers?

• In the words of Abraham Lincoln
• "Be Excellent to Each Other." I'll see you all in Eterra!

The Last Epoch Official Discord is still growing! With new fans and Travelers joining every day, there’s always something to talk about. In case you’re new to the server or just haven’t heard, the Community Management Team has put together a weekly CM Cozy Stream as an excuse to spend even more time with you. Every Wednesday at 10:30 AM CST, a special voice channel will unlock where you can come hang out with the CMs and chat while they create general mayhem in-game. The Streams are hosted by a rotating roster between Kain, Wick, and Averielle. So, kick up your Veteran Boots with a cup of coffee (or a nightcap) and check out some of the fun things already available in Last Epoch.

**Fanart Carcinization**

Redditor WilliamGoatCreates took the concept of fan art above and beyond! Everyone loves the Carcinization of Momentum, A.K.A The Crab Ring, but William seems to feel that simply finding one isn’t enough, and decided to make one! The details on this real-life Crab Ring are gorgeous and had to be shared. Please check out their post on the Last Epoch Reddit where you can see the ring up close. Then hop over to YouTube to see How it was Made!
Well done!

**April 1st**

While it wasn’t made exclusively for Discord, we would be doing a disservice by not bringing up the warm, fuzzy feeling we all had on April 1st this year. A few devious minds in the studio got together to create a brand new game pitch for you all to kick your feet over. Love Epoch - The Last Epoch Dating Sim came in with a mock-Steam page, gameplay screenshots, Baldur’s Gate references, DLC, and an undercover reveal of two of our favorite cosmetics that were, in fact, very real. The team had a roaring good time putting this together for you all, and we hope you got a kick out of it too. If you want to read the official post, hop on over to This Link Right Here[forum.lastepoch.com] and enjoy.


So, after all of the webs have settled, you may be asking, “What’s Next for Last Epoch?” Or you’re overwhelmed by the sheer volume of new things to do in the world of Eterra and have just been skimming this post. I wouldn’t blame you if you did.

As you can imagine, the team is constantly working to bring you the very best. As such, you can expect new Patches and Hotfixes to roll out as quickly as possible to address the needs and wants of every one of you. As you may have already seen, the Studio has implemented an In-Game Banner system to make players aware of any upcoming updates. So keep your eye above your chat window so you can stay ahead.

This has been Eterra Monthly; a report on the happenings and changes in the world of Last Epoch. We hope you have enjoyed this month’s report and will see you all again soon.

• Improved the experience while suffering from moderate packet loss, which often manifested as desynching and disconnections.

• The experience provided as a reward for completing Timelines no longer provides Favor or Reputation for Item Factions. In Season 2, we introduced two changes that created a situation where one could, in early stages of progression, create new characters just to complete these quests for gaining Favor and Reputation:
  
  • Monolith of Fate’s progression being shared between characters that share a stash
    
  • New mechanic that is able to provide a variable amount of experience from completing quests. We used this with Timeline completion quests to provide a much bigger experience reward (capped to a full character level or the experience value, whichever was the lowest amount of total experience).
  
  
• Bone Scavenger mimics now emerge to attack players from a longer range, but are invincible before doing so.
  
• Cursed Threads (from the Possessed Mod ability pool) now counts as a DoT effect. It can no longer stun or critically strike players.
  
• Removed unnecessary voice lines from endgame Liath.
  
• Resized Grael in multiple scenes to make his size consistent throughout the game.
  
• Prevented a rare issue where players could load, delete, or create a character while the character list was loading.
