One of the more modern action RPGs available right now is "Last Epoch," which features a ton of innovative ideas that spice up gameplay and make its gameplay unique.
One of the systems that are available in the game is crafting, which lets players create their own powerful equipment. "Last Epoch's" crafting system can sometimes be confusing, especially for newcomers.
Fortunately, this guide helps players learn about the basics of crafting in "Last Epoch" and get them started on forging their own items. Read on to know what you should keep in mind when trying to craft by yourself in the game.
How To Start Crafting
In order to start crafting in "Last Epoch," you only need to find the Forge after acquiring affix shards around the second chapter of the game.
These are usually dropped by different monsters but can also be acquired from chests and using the Rune of Shattering, according to The Gamer.
"Last Epoch" has a useful system that lets you transfer your crafting materials into a separate inventory with the "Transfer Materials" button. This removes clutter from your regular inventory that you use mainly for gear.
Learning Crafting Terminology
There are some useful terminologies specific to the game that you should learn when you want to craft in "Last Epoch," such as Forging Potential, which is the number of crafting modifications you can perform on a particular item.
Runes are socketable items that drain Forging Potential, while Glyphs are scrolls that augment your next craft. Exalted is an item that is rolled with a T6 or T7 affix, which is denoted with purple text.
Legendary Potential is how many affixes a Unique item can get when it is upgraded to a Legendary. Lastly, Shatter is a community term that means breaking an item with a Rune of Shattering to get affix shards.
How To Craft
The first thing you need to craft in "Last Epoch" is to find a good base, which is an item that has some good attributes. This will make it easier for you to add more attributes and make it even stronger, Dual Shockers said.
It's okay not to use a good base in the early stages of the game, as it is relatively difficult to find one. Crafting in the game was designed to make the leveling experience smoother so you can have stronger and stronger equipment moving forward.
To craft, you first press the "F" button to open the forging menu, drag an item to the center of the Forge, select the affix you want to upgrade, click the up arrow, and select "Upgrade Affix." You should see the level of the selected affix go up by one tier or two if you achieve critical success.
Other Things To Know
You can use a variety of items for crafting, including different rarities of equipment. The typical items you will find in the early stages of the game are Common (White), which do not have affixes or modifiers.
It is recommended to start using higher rarity items when you can craft stronger pieces of gear, such as using Magic (Blue) items or even Rare (Yellow) items.
Exalted (Purple) items are almost necessary for endgame builds because of T6 affixes that you cannot alter even through crafting, according to AFK Gaming.
