How to use Legendary Potential in Last Epoch

Even earlier than Final Epoch launched in February 2024, objects had been consistently evolving. All the way in which again in 2021, the devs launched a brand new stat known as Legendary Potential, which has an opportunity of showing on Distinctive objects.

Legendary Potential could appear complicated, however we’ve acquired all the main points that you must know to get your head round this mechanic.

What’s Legendary Potential in Final Epoch, defined

Legendary Potential is a stat discovered solely on Distinctive objects in Final Epoch. If an merchandise has the Legendary Potential stat, this implies it has the potential to be upgraded right into a Legendary merchandise. 

Earlier than you get too excited, it needs to be famous you possibly can solely remodel a singular merchandise right into a Legendary one by merging the Distinctive merchandise (the one with the Legendary Potential stat) with an Exalted merchandise of the identical sort. On prime of that, you possibly can solely remodel your Distinctive merchandise with the Legendary Potential stat within the Eternity Cache inside the Temporal Sanctum dungeon. You possibly can technically enter the Temporal Sanctum dungeon through the marketing campaign and probably use it as a marketing campaign skip. Nevertheless, I like to recommend leaving this exercise for the late sport, because the boss on the finish of the dungeon is sort of difficult.

Added by way of Patch 1.1, there’s additionally one other technique to get Legendary objects. That is by way of the newly launched Nemesis system. In higher-level areas, your Nemesis can have Egg of the Forgotten as one of many 4 objects. You possibly can substitute it with a Distinctive merchandise (that has no LP) you have already got in your stock or stash, after which empower the Nemesis two occasions earlier than lastly slaying him. As soon as that’s performed, you’ll get both of the 2: that Distinctive now having Legendary Potential or a Legendary affix. As you possibly can guess, that is very a lot a bet, however early into late-game Monolith farming, it’s value a shot.

If that’s not sophisticated sufficient, not all Distinctive objects have Legendary Potential, and there are tiers to it. So, you might have to spend time farming for objects with the Legendary Potential stat and affixes you want in your character.

What’s the quantity beside Legendary Potential?

Beside the Legendary Potential stat on an merchandise, you’ll see a quantity starting from one to 4. This quantity determines how most of the Exalted merchandise’s affixes will likely be added randomly to the Legendary merchandise.

So, when you’ve got a Three Legendary Potential, this implies three affixes out of your Exalted merchandise will likely be added to the Legendary one. The affixes out of your Exalted objects don’t substitute those in your Distinctive merchandise. They’ll both improve the affixes already on the Legendary merchandise, otherwise you’ll achieve extra.

The way to improve Legendary Potential in your Distinctive merchandise

Because the 1.2 replace, you possibly can improve the Legendary Potential in a Distinctive merchandise that already has a minimum of one LP.

When you’ve got a minimum of one Legendary Potential however are attempting to achieve extra in your Distinctive merchandise, you possibly can gamble it with the Farsight Turtle Woven Echo. Nevertheless, if the gamble fails, the Distinctive will lose all Legendary Potential.

Components in getting Distinctive drops with Legendary Potential

There are primarily 4 components that decide whether or not your Distinctive may have LP and, if it does, how a lot it will likely be. These are:

Each Distinctive has a Legendary Potential degree related to it. The next degree Distinctive means it’s much less more likely to have Legendary Potential. The extent of the Zone has sway on whether or not Distinctive drops there’ll include LP. Greater-level zones usually tend to drop Uniques with LP. Corruption as much as a sure level (in my testing, it has diminishing returns after 300) will increase your probability of getting Legendary Potential Uniques. Reaching Rank Eight within the Circle of Fortune faction doubles the Legendary Potential probability of dropped Uniques.

The way to get the very best Exalted objects to slam together with your Legendary Potential Uniques

Getting a excessive LP Distinctive of your alternative is simply step one in your quest to get the very best in slot Legendary merchandise. The second step is to get the very best Exalted objects, ideally with Tier 7 affixes, that you simply wish to slam onto your Distinctive.

To have the very best probability at getting your Exalted merchandise of desires, listed here are the components that you must observe:

It’s essential be in areas above Stage 90 for Tier 7 Exalted objects to drop. Greater corruption means extra probabilities at juiced-up Exalted objects. Circle of Fortune prophecies can internet you excessive portions of Exalted objects. So, extra probabilities of getting the one you’re after. If you’re on the Service provider’s Guild, nevertheless, you possibly can merely purchase your Exalted of alternative with gold. The Weaver Tree from The Woven Faction, added through Patch 1.2, provides you a number of strategies to up the drop charges of Exalted objects. Imprinting nodes are remarkably environment friendly in serving to you target-farm particular Exalted objects. The Lightless Arbor dungeon is an effective place to farm numerous Exalted objects after getting sufficient gold to juice the vault.

Attending to the Eternity Cache and merging two of the identical objects, with one being a Legendary Potential Distinctive and the opposite being Exalted, could be time-consuming. However getting a Legendary merchandise is unquestionably definitely worth the effort in your subsequent Final Epoch playthrough.
