[2021] New to LE - knowing more about this game

Welcome!

Just to confirm: we’ve every intention of still being here a decade from now.

Last Epoch currently has the following item rarities;

• Normal. White in colour. No fixed or random affixes.
• Magic. Blue in colour. Between 1 - 2 random affixes.
  • All affixes will be between tiers 1 & 5.
  • Not every affix can appear on every item; e.g. some are only available on weapons.
• Rare. Yellow in colour. Between 3 - 4 random affixes.
  • All affixes will be between tiers 1 & 5.
  • Not every affix can appear on every item; e.g. some are only available on weapons.
• Exalted. Purple in colour. Between 1-4 random affixes.
  • At least one affix will be tier 6 or tier 7.
    • Other affixes on the item will behave the way they would on rare items.
  • Not every affix can appear on every item; e.g. some are only available on weapons.
• Unique. Orange in colour. Multiple fixed affixes.
  • Not all affixes on these items are available elsewhere.
  • These items ignore regular affix tiers; their modifiers have their own ranges.
• Set. Green in colour. Multiple fixed affixes.
  • Not all affixes on these items are available elsewhere.
  • These items ignore regular affix tiers; their modifiers have their own ranges.
  • You gain bonuses for equipping multiple items from the same set.
    • These are shown on the tooltip of each item from the set.
      • The tooltips also differentiate between active & inactive bonuses.

The Legendary rarity is also planned, and we’ll be sharing details closer to its implementation.

Most of our content patches include new unique items, as well as improvements to items of other rarities. We also introduce new item sets occasionally, albiet less frequently.

I honestly don’t know!

I think that, pre-Exalted items, the plan (or at least assumption) had been purple.

No worries!

The regular waiting time varies depending on the issue; I’d expect under 24 hours for that one. Such tickets are usually tackled quite promptly, but we don’t presently have staff answering tickets 24 hours a day, so the time of submission is also currently a factor.
