About this section

Item progression in Last Epoch runs through crafting and faction choice, so these pages are grouped by the question they answer: what to keep, how to improve it, and where it comes from. The crafting pages explain affix shards, Forging Potential, runes, glyphs, and Legendary crafting. The faction pages cover trading through the Merchant's Guild and target farming through the Circle of Fortune, including the Season 5 changes to both.

What you can learn

  1. Stop hoarding the wrong gear

    Learn which bases and affixes are worth keeping and how to build a loot filter that surfaces them.

  2. Craft with a plan

    Follow Forging Potential limits, tier caps, and the rune or glyph that matches the outcome you want.

  3. Pick a faction on purpose

    Weigh trading against target farming under the current Season 5 faction rules.
