Key Concepts of Crafting in Last Epoch
Before diving into crafting, it's essential to understand some key concepts:
Affixes: Affixes are modifiers that can be added to a gear to enhance its stats. Items can have up to four affixes, with two prefixes and two suffixes.
Forging Potential: Forging Potential represents the number of crafting modifications an item can undergo. Once an item's Forging Potential reaches zero, it can no longer be crafted.
Shards: Shards are used to upgrade existing affixes on an item or add new affixes. Each shard corresponds to a specific affix type.
Glyphs: Glyphs are consumable items that can modify the outcome of a craft. They can provide benefits such as reducing Forging Potential costs or changing affixes.
Runes: Runes are advanced crafting materials that can perform unique crafting procedures, such as rerolling affix values or transforming items into unique rarities.

Affixes and Shards

Glyphs and Runes
Glyphs and runes are unique crafting items that can be utilized to modify stats. Glyphs are used to improve crafts, such as lowering the Forging Potential cost or swapping an affix to another. Runes, on the other hand, are utilized for more complicated crafting techniques like rerolling affix values or transforming an item into a Unique with the same basic type.
Advanced Crafting Strategies
