The leveling system in Last Epoch is about to go through some big changes, with harder content and more unique enemies. But don’t worry, movement speed is key! Faster movement means faster progress through the campaign. And when it comes to uniques, keep an eye out for movement-related ones – they’re gonna be handy. Lastly, kill those magic and rare enemies for extra XP – it’s worth it, trust me. Happy leveling! 🚀
🔥 Welcome back to Rage Gaming and Last Epoch as the release patch 1.0 brings the Cycles. These are similar to seasons in other games like Diablo 4 or leagues in Path of Exile. With the full reset, everyone starts fresh, but the old characters are placed on a cycle. With the cycle system in place with 1.0, it puts all players on a level playing field, making it ideal for new players. Now, with the leveling process slightly different in the new launch version, it is necessary to understand the changes.

Basic Things to Know 📈
Firstly, the level cap is 100, and to reach it, players must complete the main story which consists of nine chapters. However, it’s possible to start the Monolith system by the third chapter. The main story introduces different concepts, mechanics, and unlocks vital upgrades for characters, such as passive points and Idol slots. The game also features unlockable passive points and idle slots from specific side quests, which significantly impact character upgrades. Prioritize quests that offer these rewards to benefit most from the leveling process.

Movement Speed Tips 🏃♂️
One of the crucial aspects of leveling is movement speed, which greatly impacts the overall leveling experience. It allows players to move through areas faster, essential for clearing dungeons and large regions. Boots and rings are the primary sources of movement speed, with silver rings offering 3 to 8% increased movement speed. Additionally, certain uniques are dedicated to movement speed, more commonly found during the leveling process.
Magic and Rare Enemies 🧙♂️
During the journey, players will encounter magic and rare enemies that offer significantly more XP. It is essential to kill these enemies, as magic enemies offer 50% more XP, while rares provide a substantial 200% more XP. Furthermore, the game features shrines that provide temporary buffs, including a 50% extra XP buff, which is highly beneficial during leveling.
Monolith Fate System – Endgame 🚀
The main endgame, the Monolith Fate system, becomes available after completing the main story. Monoliths offer challenges and boss fights, ultimately leading to a blessing reward. These blessings provide different useful passives, with the ‘Strength of Mind’ option being particularly valuable during leveling as it increases XP gains by roughly 4 to 6% permanently.
