Now has 600% damage effectiveness (from 450%).
The baseline effect now grants more damage based on charge, up to 100% more damage at maximum charge (from 50% more hit damage per second spent charging).

Fixed a bug where effects that provided a stat based on time spent channelling, such as Soldering Strike, gave a benefit as if it had been channelled for an additional second.
Fixed a bug where Furnace would frequently fail to damage enemies, and did not display its visuals.
Furnace now deals 24 base damage (from 6) every 0.5 seconds. Its description has been updated to specify it has an added damage effectiveness of 240% per second.
Increased the base area of Furnace to match the area of Smelter’s Wrath. Updated the node’s description to clarify that Furnace is not affected by increases to area of effect, and can not be turned into a cone by Detonation.
Final Strike instantly kills enemies below 10% max health (from 6%). It is still doubled at maximum charge. Maximum points reduced to 1 (from 2).
Ability VFX no longer incorrectly follows the player after channeling is interrupted.
Fixed a bug where Smelter’s Wrath with effects that modify its duration would play their VFX and SFX at incorrect timings in Online mode.

Symbols of Despair now also converts Divine Flare to void.
Waves of Light has been reworked. Directly cast Divine Flares that hit a rare enemy or boss have a 10% chance per symbol consumed to recast Divine Flare after 0.5 seconds. Maximum of 4 points.

Merchant’s Guild

Bazaar

There is now a minimum listing price of 500 gold and a maximum listing price of 1,500,000,000 gold.
There is now a 15% of listing price tax, or 500 gold (whichever is higher), paid for by the buyer.
- Example 1: You list an item for 500 gold. The purchasing player will pay 1000 gold, or 500 gold (list price)+500 gold (tax).
- Example 2: You list an item for 1,000,000 gold. The purchasing player will pay 1,150,000 gold, or 1,000,000 gold (list price)+150,000 gold (tax).
Tax is applied after the listing gold cap is enforced. If you list an item for 1,5 billion gold, the purchase price will be the intended 1,725 billion gold.
Tax is not included in the display value for items you listed yourself (both in the Search UI and Listings UI).

Player-to-Player Trade (P2P)

Direct P2p trade has been removed. Data shows that this was rarely used compared to other avenues, such as the Bazaar, P2P gifting through party play, or the use of Resonances. Instead, it was mainly used for real money trading, which harms legitimate gameplay and enjoyment.
- Please note: You can still gift items found in the same zone as party members or use Resonance to gift items found without them in your party at the time of drop. Additionally, nothing is changing with the main Bazaar system in this respect.

Gamepad Updates

General Improvements - Gamepad

Improved gamepad navigation for the passive tree UI.
Improved gamepad navigation for the loot filters.
Improved gamepad navigation for the MTX shop.
Improved gamepad navigation in the inventory.
- Added hotkey to transfer materials from inventory.
- Added acceleration and raised the overall speed of selection for inventory and stash.
- Changed the inventory highlight to start at the last active location when opening the inventory.
- Added OnHold actions to inventory to improve material transfer and sorting QoL.
Added gamepad support for the Ladder panel.
Added ability to see tooltips while hovering over map icons.
Made the continue panel for Arena navigable on gamepad.
You can now navigate the URLs on the bug report panel using a gamepad.
Changed panel navigation prompts to only be on the panel you are navigating toward.
Added the LT prompts to the Forge UI panel and the Nemesis Egg Selection panel.

Top of Page]

Gamepad Targeting

Gamepad targeting has been significantly improved with a new “Targeting Paradigm” system, completely overhauling how skill targeting works on gamepads (including Steam Deck). This means we can create custom behaviors for every skill based on the intended use of a skill while using a controller, such as:

‘Cast On Self’.
‘Cast Max Range Forwards’.
‘Cast on Closest Enemy in Range’.
‘Cast On Enemy in Forward Facing Cone’.
- This paradigm is closest to the old targeting system and is the fallback for many abilities.

This also includes cases where a node or piece of gear modifies how a skill works. This paradigm system allows us to create two-tiered behaviors and far more specific fine-tuning than before. For example, this will make it much easier for players to kite enemies while on the run with most skills. Since each skill has two possible targeting paradigms, you no longer always need to turn and aim directly at foes. Most ranged abilities now have a second tier that defaults to targeting the nearest enemy. We believe this system will make kiting much more intuitive and satisfying. These changes include most fan-favorite bow skills, such as Puncture, and most other ranged skills that don’t have significant cast delays or unique targeting systems.

The Ballista skill is a great example. By default, Ballista is a long-range squishy minion that you summon and keep nearby. However, with the right Skill Tree nodes, it becomes an explosive you want to hurl at your enemies. Previously, the system only allowed for one action - stay or throw - to take place, and thus Ballistae were always thrown regardless of how your Skill Tree was specced. The new system lets summoned Ballistae stay safely at your side while explosive Ballistae are correctly chucked at the nearest enemy.

While acknowledging this can’t possibly perfect gamepad targeting for everything - looking at you, Meteor - we are confident every skill is going to see a noticeable improvement in performance. Overall, this new system allows us much more flexibility to make changes based on player feedback, and we’re counting on you to let us know how we can further improve.

Lastly, as an added bonus, channeled abilities now adjust for height when using a controller.

Quality of Life & Other Changes

Mastery Respec

Players can now pay to respec their mastery in the End of Time. This can be done by talking to Chronomancer Lerinne, the same NPC used to respec passive points.
Respeccing your mastery will also reset all of your passive points.
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.
- Level: 1, Cost: 100g
- Level: 10, Cost: 1,000g
- Level: 20, Cost: 5,000g
- Level: 30, Cost: 10,000g
- Level: 40, Cost: 15,000g
- Level: 50, Cost: 30,000g
- Level: 60, Cost: 50,000g
- Level: 70, Cost: 100,000g
- Level: 90, Cost: 600,000g
- Level: 100, Cost: 1,000,000g

Keyboard Movement - Experimental

Season 2 introduces a new experimental version of keyboard-based movement (aka WASD) controls to Last Epoch. Players can change their movement binds through the ‘Controls’ section in the settings menu.

You can enable Keyboard Movement in the Gameplay tab in Settings.
Keyboard movement has a different set of default hotkeys.
Keyboard movement control mapping is independent of Point and Click movement. This means changes to one set of controls won’t affect the other.
You can adjust how movement skills behave with keyboard movement, such as specifying that all movement skills follow your cursor instead of your character’s direction.
Channeled abilities that force continuous movement (e.g. Warpath) will move towards the cursor if a WASD direction is not held. This ensures mechanical parity between input modes (i.e. movement conditional buffs such as “while standing still” benefit each input mode equally).

Top of Page]

Inventory Redesign

Keys and Woven Echoes are stackable items that are vacuumed and gathered together and stashed just like crafting materials.
The inventory now has multiple tabs for storing different types of items: Inventory, Keys, Woven Echoes, and Gifting.
- These tabs will be hidden initially but will be unlocked once you loot or are gifted the relevant items.
The “Transfer Materials” button has moved below the items tab and is now labeled “Transfer”.
Transferring items will move all transferrable items from the items tab to their associated stash-wide storage.
- Woven Echoes will transfer to their tab, which can hold an unlimited number of each Woven Echo.
- Keys will transfer to their associated stash-wide tab, which can hold an unlimited quantity of dungeon keys, Arena keys, dungeon charms, and Harbinger eyes.
- Resonances will transfer to the Gifting tab, which can hold an unlimited number of resonances.
- Crafting materials will still be transferred to material storage as they are currently.

Top of Page]

Auto-storing

Added options to send certain item types straight to storage when you pick them up:
- The options include common Shards, common Runes, common Glyphs, rare Shards, rare Runes, rare Glyphs, keys, and Woven Echoes.
- Players can toggle this setting on or off independently for each item type, allowing you to customize your experience gathering loot.
Picking up the appropriate item types with these settings enabled will still show the same notifications as for transferring items to your stash.
Keys and Woven Echoes are “vacuumed” and will be gathered together and stashed like crafting materials.

Top of Page]

Item Pickups

Increased item pickup radius by 40%.
If you click on an item outside the pickup range and begin moving toward it, this movement now stops when you pick up the item. Previously, you continued to the item’s original location after picking it up.
- Like before, clicking on another location after clicking on the item will still cause your character to move to the new location, and you will still pick up the item if you go within its pickup range.

Top of Page]

Off-hand Weapon & Ring Comparison

Holding CTRL and then holding ALT will show a comparison with the alternate item (right-hand ring/offhand-item) instead of the regular equipped item that it compares to.
- This can be accomplished on a gamepad by holding R3 and then L3.

Top of Page]

Seasonal Announcements System

Added in-game Seasonal Announcements for the following scenarios:
- All Hardcore Deaths with a Top 100 Ladder Position, or Character Level 100.
- First to reach each level.
- First Aberroth Kill/First Uber Aberroth Kill.
Seasonal Announcements are only seen by players in the same game mode/challenge group:
- Softcore.
- Hardcore.
- Softcore Solo Character/Account Found.
- Hardcore Solo Character/Account Found.
Legacy does not see these announcements (only system announcements).

Top of Page]

Loot Filter Changes

Rarity conditions now function identically between loot filters and stash priorities.
Legendary items can now be matched by loot filters.
- If you have a “hide all” rule in your loot filter, make sure to add a “show Legendary rarity” rule above it!
The common/rare distinction for Shards, Runes, and Glyphs is the same distinction that defines what color the item label is: brick red for rare Shards, white with a gold background for rare Runes and Glyphs.
You can now optionally specify min/max Legendary Potential and/or Weaver’s Will regardless of rarity.
Weaver’s Will min/max will only be compared against Unique or Legendary Erased items (items that have or once had Weaver’s Will).
Legendary Potential min/max will only be compared against non-Erased Unique items (items that could have Legendary Potential).
Reforged Set items will only be matched if Set is selected as a rarity.
Rarity is always applied if anything other than None is selected.

Top of Page]

- This will capture any open UI and everything on the screen.

Added a loading indicator to the in-game bug reporter for when requests are pending after hitting “Submit”. Also added an error popup if the request does not go through for some reason.
