Lightning Blast is one of the oldest skills in Last Epoch!

In Patch 0.7.7 we're going to breathe new life into its specialization tree by adding new nodes, and removing some existing nodes and updating others. The goal of this rework is not only to increase the number of options available, but also to make each of these individual options more interesting.

As with previous specialization tree previews, we've prepared a page on our website where you can mouse-over nodes on the tree to see their tooltips, just like in-game. Here's a link!

Which node is your favourite, and why is it Hypercharge?

We're bringing Shrines to Last Epoch!

Shrines are magical constructs found in the world that can be activated by clicking on them. They have a variety of exciting effects - such as summoning enemies for you to fight, spawning temporary allies to assist you in combat, and granting powerful, time-limited buffs.

Shrines can only be activated once. Activating a Shrine is optional; it is possible to simply walk past one without clicking on it. A Shrine may be more dangerous than it initially seems.

The Shrines from each era have their own unique model. Additionally, their appearance will update when they are activated, and again when their duration expires. We've posted the concept art for each of these models below. Which one's your favourite?

We've heard your feedback that you want more items to hunt!

In Patch 0.7.7 we're bringing multiple new Item Sets and Unique Items to expand the options available for gearing your characters and to shake up the meta which has set in.

Not familiar with sets in Last Epoch? They consist of a small number of pieces - typically three - and are designed to increase the options available for when you're building a character. We are mindful of the dangers of incentivizing people to collect a large number of items that synergize with each other, and we don't plan to introduce sets appreciably larger than existing sets.

In Last Epoch, Unique Items and Item Sets are not intended to be superior to well-crafted items and exceptional loot - however, we do want a substantial number of these to provide interesting options that regular items cannot. While we haven't yet decided whether we will be posting previews of some of these items or allowing you to discover them organically, we did want to let you know that there are more of these items coming in 0.7.7 than in most patches.

As an aside, both Unique Items and Idols will no longer be sold by vendors in Patch 0.7.7.

Would you like a preview of a couple of Unique Items, or of a single Item Set? Let us know!

Recently, a member of the community expressed an interest in using a Last Epoch-themed wallpaper on our community Discord. While we haven’t created dedicated art for this purpose just yet, we’ve gathered some of our most suitable art and compiled it below.

Hey Travelers!

As you know, we're currently in Phase 2 of our Early Access Forecast.

One of the exciting entries from this phase is our Character Introductions, short videos which play immediately after character creation to show you what brought that character to the Forest Trail on which you first encounter them. Each class will have their own introduction.

While we don't want to spoil these ahead of time, today we're excited to share still images from two of them. The characters we've chosen are the Mage and the Primalist; with the Mage taking a look back, and the Primalist looking forwards to what lies ahead of him.





Which class's introduction are you most excited for?
