Understanding the Experience Blessing Mechanism and Favor Gain
The Connection Between XP and Favor
In Last Epoch 1.0, the experience (XP) blessing is a topic of much interest among players. It is believed to impact "favor gain," which is determined by the amount of experience a player earns. An experiment was conducted to test the effect of the XP blessing on favor gain. The player gathered data before and after running a monolith with the XP blessing activated.
Calculating Favor Gains from Experience
Upon completion of the monolith (referred to as an ‘echo’), the player recorded their experience and favor. They had previously concluded that 750 XP equaled one favor point. The results confirmed that the XP blessing effectively increased favor gain from monster kills as the XP per favor ratio remained at 750 to 1.
Impact of Corruption Levels on Monster XP
It is noted that while monster XP scales with corruption levels, the ‘toome’ (presumably a fixed experience boost) does not adjust with corruption. Thus, higher corruption requires an increased emphasis on monster XP gains, making the XP blessing more valuable as it affects monster kill rewards.
Pre-Experiment Stats | Post-Experiment Stats | Consistency Across Tests | Insights on Favor Gain |
---|---|---|---|
Experience collected | Experience after echo | Yes, 750 XP = 1 Favor | XP blessing boosts favor from monster kills |
Favor collected | Favor after echo | Consistent ratio maintained | Blessing does not alter toome experience |
Evaluating Other Types of Blessings and Their Effects on Gameplay
Choosing the Right Blessing for Circle of Fortune (CoF) Players
The Deceptive Nature of the Unique Drop Rate Blessing
A number of blessings are available, including one that affects the unique drop rate. However, it does not influence prophecies, which are the main source of unique items for players engaging with the Circle of Fortune (CoF). Thus, for most CoF players, this blessing may seem less beneficial.
The Pros of the Experience Blessing
The Experience Blessing increases favor gained from monster kills, indirectly enhancing the overall drop rate of items. This benefit is especially pronounced with higher corruption levels, offering CoF players a significant increase in their drop rate despite the unaffected xome echo experience.
Uncertainty Around the Gold Drop Rate Blessing
The untouched domain is concerning the Gold Drop Rate Blessing, which reportedly may double the gold drops at rank five in the CoF. The validity of this claim requires further experimentation, but the speculation is intriguing, as it could lead to substantial gold acquisition, now more valuable after the nerfing of the arena key strategy.
Blessing Type | Influence on Prophecies | Effect on Monster Kills | Effect on CoF Players |
---|---|---|---|
Unique Drop Rate | No | N/A | Unlikely to be beneficial |
Experience | N/A | Increases favor gain | Significantly enhances drop rate |
Gold Drop Rate (Unconfirmed) | N/A | Potentially doubles gold | Could be valuable post-nerf |
Concluding Thoughts and Advice for Last Epoch Enthusiasts
The Verdict on Optimizing Favor and Item Drops in Last Epoch
Understanding the Dynamics of Drop Rate Blessings
The assessment concludes with a recommendation: experience blessings can vastly improve a player’s item drop rate by impacting favor gain, overriding the potential benefits of a unique drop rate blessing under current game conditions.
The Unexplored Territory of the Gold Drop Rate Blessing
The gold drop rate’s effects remain a matter to be investigated, with the potential to become a game-changer for CoF players looking for alternate gold sources. The anticipation around this possibility adds an exciting dynamic to the gameplay strategy.
Blessing Outcomes | Recommended for CoF | Caveats | Expected Effect on Gameplay |
---|---|---|---|
Unique Drop Rate | No | Misleading for prophecy-based unique drops | Minimal impact |
Experience | Yes | Significant with high corruption | Boosts drop rate |
Gold Drop Rate (To be tested) | Maybe | Arena key nerf makes gold more valuable | Could be highly beneficial |
