The new set of Last Epoch patch notes bring some welcome changes to the ARPG, as Eleventh Hour Games continues to build on its excellent third season. It's hard to find space for all these great loot-chasing games, with Path of Exile 2's Abyssal league underway and the recent early access launch of Titan Quest 2. I'm therefore grateful for any ways to squeeze the most out of my time, and this Last Epoch update does just that, making it easier to get your hands on Season 3's most enticing drops.
