In this video, we will be discussing and reacting to the trade and item faction system for Last Epoch, which is set to release on February 21st. The game director, Jud cobbler, will provide an overview of the highly anticipated item faction system, which aims to revolutionize the way players can participate in the deep and rewarding item hunt in Last Epoch.
Innovative Trading System 🎮
The item faction system offers an innovative way for players to buy, sell, and trade items through the bustling Bazaar. Players have the option to join either the Merchant Guild or the Circle of Fortune, each offering unique benefits. This system is the result of extensive collaboration with the community and aims to cater to players who heavily involve trade and economy, as well as those who prefer to focus on finding items themselves or with close friends.
Joining a Faction
Upon reaching the city of Mela, players can choose to join the Merchant Guild or the Circle of Fortune. This choice will grant access to a new interface that provides details about the player's current status with their faction, including reputation and benefits. Reputation within a faction plays a crucial role in determining the player's progress and unique benefits within their chosen faction.
| Benefits of Joining a Faction |
|---|
| Tailored and exciting path to hunt for top tier items for both camps of players |
| Opportunities to increase reputation by killing enemies and completing quests |
| Unique benefits and options as players ascend ranks within their faction |
| Ability to earn and maintain reputation with multiple factions |
Accumulating Favor Currency 💰
In addition to reputation, players can earn favor currency by slaying enemies or completing quests for each of the factions. Favor can be used to complete trades with the Merchant Guild, acquire new prophecies from the Circle of Fortune, or utilize the faction Gambler to spin the will. Excess favor can also be used for item gifting to party members.
Item Resonances and Gifting 🎁
A new type of item called "resonances" can be found when questing with friends or party members. These items enable players to gift specific items to their designated recipients, even if they weren't present when the item dropped. This new system adds a layer of flexibility for players who enjoy playing in groups and sharing loot with friends.
