Greetings everyone, it’s Mitch again and it’s time to talk about crafting! Crafting systems are always very important in ARPGs and can be very hard to get right, so when we started the design for Last Epoch’s crafting system we came up with a few main goals.Lower tier items having the potential to remain valuable late-game.Items should be directly upgradeable, and near perfect items should be able to be perfected.It should be easy to craft a desirable item, but very difficult to craft a...

As a skill is leveled up through gaining experience, the same way that players do, you can invest points into its tree. These trees unlock the potential of your skills. In this devblog I’ll give an overview of how skills are distributed in our classes and what sort of design philosophies we have aroun...
