The FASTEST Favor / XP Farm | Last Epoch 1.1

[@FrozenSentinel]

IMPORTANT UPDATE: as pointed out in the comments, I made a mistake when I said doing the boss removes your modifiers, this is NOT the case so you can still farm the boss as long as you get stability using glyphs of envy. Do this in whatever timeline you want. Check out Skurge's channel over at: www.youtube.com/@Skurge

EHG should hire u at this point

[@FrozenSentinel]

;)

[@RamzaBehoulve]

Nice to know. Thanks.

[@MaxxxMaxMaxx]

Getting a beacon with the right map is a PAIN holy damn :D

[@FrozenSentinel]

yea it is lol

[@panagiothskati4134]

Question, COF lvl 12 grants double drops, does it stack with lenses? E.G if i have a prophecy with x6 boots and i got lense that has double rewards but added .9xcost_of_prophecy i will get (6+6)x2 or (6x2+6)?

[@FrozenSentinel]

It multiplies yes

[@brendanolivier5674]

thanks Frozen really enjoy your insights into the game. the whole reason to do this is so that we can then spam prophecies. a question i have on prophecies is when you take one with a reward such as "Unique Helmet (1 Legendary Potential) x 2" are you limited to ONLY getting 1LP or is it 1LP minimum with a chance for higher LP ?

[@FrozenSentinel]

It's minimum, but you should never take them anyway; kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ2ul2OalLmijpI

[@onavelzy5537]

I got lost by a comment you made around 8:10. In trying to find a beacon, you state you find a beacon and then clear it to find more nodes. I may have misunderstood what you meant by clearing it but why do you need to find other beacons? Sorry if I misunderstood your point

[@onavelzy5537]

After thinking about it, I guess what you were talking about is to keep beating beacons until you find one in one of the desired echoes such as Imperial Warcamp

[@FrozenSentinel]

Yea exactly, your goal is to reveal as many new nodes per time spent as possible to maximize your chance of finding the specific one you want.

[@saimeister]

hi, if I already seen imperial warcamp in another node that is not a beacon, should I reset the echo web or is there a still a chance for it to reappear as a beacon?

[@FrozenSentinel]

Nodes aren't "unique" in a given web

[@BenHell789]

How many hotfixes can we have in a week.....?

[@Princess_Kenny]

Yes

[@xc240gst]

Would you be so kind to explain, what is purpose of static orb in this build? i clearly dont get it...

[@FrozenSentinel]

It can oneshot bosses

[@KyberSoze]

How do you get specific echo modifiers?

[@FrozenSentinel]

You run echos that have those modifiers, they apply to the next x echos you run

[@jesuspavia9906]

It may be very stupid, but how do you get out of the echo without going to end of time? Or is it a cut-scene? I play in offline mode, could that be the case?

[@FrozenSentinel]

Yeah it's specific to offline, you can click the monolith manually in your map iirc

[@jesuspavia9906]

@@FrozenSentinel bro, sorry for the questions again but, apparently the refound cost of the teleport does not refound the total cost of static orb, approximately 20% according to my tests, I suppose that it refounds the cost prior to the increase by %mana or is some other stupid bug of the offline mode.

[@FrozenSentinel]

@@jesuspavia9906 It refunds 120% of the cost, 100% from mana tunnel, and another 20% from Archmage in the sorc tree if you have 1000+ mana. If the skill was tree AND you gained the full mana cost that would be a 200% refund

[@chengxengyang]

Is there anything for merchant favor

[@FrozenSentinel]

I assume you can do the same thing for MG, haven't tried it myself though

[@paulmarkbevey]

You do not lose your modifiers when you complete the timeline boss only when you complete an echo. You can still farm the boss. I just tested it and I kept my echo modifiers doing just a boss kill and a boss and harbinger kill. Kept modifiers both times. I did it on Reign of Dragons timeline not sure if that makes a difference.

[@Arveez]

do party members get the same amount of favors?

[@FrozenSentinel]

They get the same amount of base xp if they are nearby, their multipliers could be different though (eg. xp blessing, faction rank, etc.)

[@Skurge]

[@FrozenSentinel]

you da mvp

[@Skurge]

@@FrozenSentinel Nah u da real mvp xDD... I think you mentioned wanting to setup on a timeline where killing the boss isn't a concern? The modifiers don't change when killing boss, and you get so many Glyph of Envy that they can be used to complete any boss prophecies at will ( I still only do Abom, Emp, Frost Lich though).

[@FrozenSentinel]

Yeah that's my mistake, I'm not sure why I was thinking that

[@ovis2375]

Day 2 and I still can not find that beacon lol

[@FrozenSentinel]

Yea it's pretty rough lol

[@BenHell789]

How is this at a lower corruption? Like 300 and under

[@FrozenSentinel]

I explained that in the video, see the section where I went over the math

[@markxv2267]

Dude watch the video

[@tox_ph0b0s80]

If you do the boss you don't lose the modifiers. I've been doing this for quite a while and haven't lost them yet. Well, assuming you do the boss via using Envy glyphs at least. If you completely normal ehcos to charge the stability you will lose the mods.

[@FrozenSentinel]

Wow you are right, I don't know why I was so convinced otherwise, thanks lol

[@Alx56]

Oh cool ty for the info

[@Syncopation24]

In before 1.1.3.2 patch notes: Beacons no longer give xp until completed. 😂

[@FrozenSentinel]

rippp

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

I actually hope they don't nerf these favor farming methods. They should at least keep them because endgame is pretty much monolith and only monolith. Why make the grind any longer when you're literally stuck to one activity as a means to help farm loot. Either that or they lower the cost of prophecies quite a lot if they do intend to nerf favor-farming methods.

[@x1x1x1x2]

​@@CopenorMcbrokelegnot until next cycle at least when they hopefully give us other ways to do it.

[@matthewdeklerk3457]

Theres no way they dont nerf this. Abuse abuse abuse this will get patched on tuesday

[@FrozenSentinel]

Even if they nerf the XP given by beacon monsters it won't change the strategy much, it's mostly to prevent you from accidentally completing a good map but I pushed to 100 resetting a map without beacon. I doubt they would make it so monsters don't give xp after you've already reset, as we already don't get reward or stability anymore. They could nerf certain echo modifiers to make intentionally stacking xp ones not as effective I guess, but that would also be a nerf to normal gameplay.

[@KrucielBL]

I really do enjoy the game, but I struggle to want to progress my character the moment they hit level 100 and are blasting thru 300 corruption. I feel like the division of the player base between the two factions is part of this, as well as not having challenges to chase like PoE does with every league. It just feels like once you get a couple good LP2 uniques for your build there's really nothing to look forward to for a shitload of time. CoF allows you to target farm things, but it's just so slow after you get a decent setup. The auction faction has the worst UI and search features of any game in the past 10 years, which is super impressive because that means ESO is better and that game's auction system is absolute dogshit. I guess what I'm saying is I hope for the next season, they focus on improving the factions and giving the players something to chase other than loot to make them want to come back to the game. I'm actually kinda shocked there aren't season challenges already. They were the main things that made you want to go back to D3 and PoE even if you weren't crazy about whatever that particular league was doing.

[@FrozenSentinel]

I do enjoy the process of min-maxing but I also agree that challenges like PoE has giving players something to work towards would be a great addition. Even still most of the more dedicated players that would chase challenges in the first place have already "done everything" so I don't know how much longevity it would add until we do get more content.
