Hey everyone!
Just recently (apr 2025) decided to look for a decent written guide on leveling, but couldn’t find one.
So I built my own in such a way that makes it easy to use by myself (shut out to one PoE website for the style idea).

So main concept was to go from a fresh Level 1 to the Monoliths in under 2 hours. After finding The Temporal Sanctum key, you’ll make it through the campaign till the end in roughly another 30 mins or so.

I’ve pulled together tips and routes from various speedrunners and seasoned players to create this guide.

Check it out: Last Epoch Speedleveling Guide

Give it a spin and let me know what you think!

P.S. Thanks for everyone who helped with improvements <3

UPD: New One-Shot Cache location with Temporal Sanctum key added to the Guide.

I want to use the guide to a video guide, talking about your guide and linking, however I have only one question.

Bina told that is good to go until chapter 7 tree boss to then go monoliths, what do you think, from chapter 5 is not hard?

Yeah, you’re absolutely welcome to use it C:

It’s totally fine to take the other route, but for me this one is a bit quicker. Anyway, you’ll still want to do Act IX eventually for your guild / +1 to All Attributes.

Going into Monoliths that early can be a little rough for the first few levels, but the XP gain is huge and very fast. And since there’s no XP penalty for dying, you can basically just throw bodies at it until the levels start catching up

I’ve done this route 3–4 times at the start of each cycle, and it definitely works well for me.

Also, I’d love to see your video when it’s done!

You no longer get +attributes from acts 9 and 10. It’s in the patch notes. You now get +2 attributes from getting the 5 knowledge of orobyss.

So as long as you already unlocked your passives/idols, there really is no reason to continue the quests for now. At least until the expansion when they finish the campaign. Might get some reward then, but you currently don’t.

Oh, that’s definitely good to know. So I guess it’s enough to just stop once you reach Maj’Elka and unlock your faction.

I’ll double-check it and update the guide. Thanks for pointing that out!

UPD: yep, I did a fast run todays morning, everything updated now.

Ok, so I changed my mind a bit here.
I checked the patch notes, and there’s one pretty painful change:

Monolith

  • Entering an echo that has previously been attempted now provides significantly less XP and favor, in addition to the existing reductions to random encounters and loot.

So if your build isn’t strong enough to start blasting Monoliths right away, it’s probably better to keep leveling through the campaign until Chapter 7 first.

We don’t have the details yet, but in the patch overview video they teased at new one-shot chests for all 3 dungeon keys. So they are not random anymore. So if you know where that chest is, it can be targeted.

8

Yeah, I’ve seen that. I guess it mostly depends on where exactly those chests are located.

Also, you’ll probably want to be around level 60 to complete the dungeon reliably.

9

I don’t think a level as high as 60 is necessary, especially if you are a speed runner or if playing fast and efficient is your main goal.

If you are that type of player you most likely play a build that can handle content above your weight class :stuck_out_tongue:
