Last Epoch features a dynamic crafting system that is essential to enhancing the player’s gearing experience. This unique system allows players to create perfectly optimized items tailored to their desired builds. Furthermore, it is instrumental in the creation of Legendary gear, the most powerful equipment available in the game.
Obtaining Legendary items, which provide superior stats and effects, requires some effort. Before you can acquire your own Legendary item, it’s essential to locate Exalted gear and a Unique item with Legendary Potential. Understanding how Legendary Potential operates is crucial for successful crafting.
Understanding Legendary Potential in Last Epoch
Legendary Potential (LP) functions similarly to regular Forging Potential but is exclusive to Unique items. Every Unique has a chance to drop with LP, although the likelihood varies among different items. If your Unique item possesses LP, you will be enabled to enhance it with additional affixes, although the method differs from that of standard items.
Typically, stronger Unique items have a lower probability of dropping with LP, while less powerful ones tend to have a higher chance. A Unique can possess a maximum of 4 Legendary Potential, but the drop rates for such items are notably low. Various Uniques also come with different chances of having distinct amounts of LP, and resources like LastEpochTools can provide detailed statistics on these chances.
Forging Legendary Items: A Step-by-Step Guide
To forge your own Legendary Items, you need to gather a few key components: a Temporal Sanctum key, a Unique item with Legendary Potential, and an Exalted-rarity item you wish to sacrifice. Unlike standard forging, the process involves the complete consumption of the Exalted item to enhance your Unique item. This action will destroy the Exalted item but will transfer some of its properties to the Unique.
With your items ready and the Temporal Sanctum key in hand, journey to the Temporal Sanctum dungeon located in the Imperial Era Majasan Desert. As you navigate through the dungeon, you will arrive at the Temporal Sanctum, which features the Eternity Cache. Interact with the cache and place your Unique and Exalted items within.
Upon confirming the items you wish to merge, you will then warp to the Ruined Era and collect your newly crafted Legendary item from the Eternity Cache. The Legendary Potential from your Unique will be consumed, and the number of affixes transferred from the Exalted item will correspond to the LP it had initially.
For players seeking Temporal Sanctum keys, these can be acquired as rare drops in higher-level areas (level 54 and beyond). However, the most effective method of obtaining them is through farming the Monolith of Fates, where you can find maps that guarantee key rewards. Additionally, Exalted items are also more plentiful during Monolith runs, making it a fruitful area for Unique farming as well.
