Last Epoch: What is Legendary Potential and How Does it Affect Crafting?

Last Epoch features a complex crafting system that allows players to create strong Legendary items. Legendary Potential is an important stat for crafting powerful Legendary items and is only present on Unique gear pieces and controls the number of affixes that can be transferred from an Exalted item when making a Legendary. Let's look at what Legendary Potential is in Last Epoch and how it affects Legendary crafting.

What is Legendary Potential in Last Epoch?

Legendary Potential is a unique stat found on specific Unique items in Last Epoch. It signifies the item has the potential to become legendary. The value next to Legendary Potential represents how many affixes are transferred from an Exalted item during the forging process. For example, a Unique helm with "Legendary Potential: 3" will draw three random affixes from the Exalted helm.

Obtaining Components

To craft a Legendary item, you'll need the following:

• A Unique item with Legendary Potential

• An Exalted item of the same type with four unsealed affixes

Farming select bosses or zones with greater area levels will provide Uniques with Legendary Potential. Increasing Corruption and Item Rarity can boost your chances of finding these items.

To obtain Exalted items, you must farm high-level locations (at least level 90) or specific dungeons such as the Lightless Arbor or Soulfire Bastion. Remember that the affix rolls on Exalted gear are important so aim for high-tier affixes.

Crafting Process

1. Clear the Temporal Sanctum Dungeon: Get a Temporal Sanctum Key, which can drop from Timeline Bosses in the Monolith of Fate. Use this key to access the dungeon.

2. Locate the Eternity Cache: Inside the Temporal Sanctum, you'll find the Eternity Cache. Interact with it to begin the crafting process.

3. Prepare Your Items: Place the Unique item with Legendary Potential and the Exalted item with four affixes into the Cache.

4. Seal the Cache: Press 'Seal Cache' to combine the two items. Use Temporal Shift to switch eras if necessary.

5. Retrieve Your Legendary: Open the Cache again in the Ruined Era to find your newly crafted Legendary item.

Tips for Farming Components

• Farm specific bosses or zones with higher area levels for Uniques with Legendary Potential.

• Increase Corruption and Item Rarity to improve your odds of finding these items.

• Use the Lightless Arbor or Soulfire Bastion dungeons to farm Exalted items.

• Consider using a Rune of Creation to duplicate a high-quality Exalted item.
