LAST EPOCH

Where should you farm a Unique in Last Epoch?

Different Uniques need different routes. Match the item to its actual source before spending a farming session.

Match the source before you farm

A named Unique can belong to a Timeline boss, a dungeon, a special encounter or the general drop pool. Search the item first. The item finder gives you a route to try and tells you when a source is still uncertain.

Try The Black Sun for a Helmet reward Echo.

After you find the source

Want more random Uniques?

Check the Blessing that improves Unique drop rate. It supports general drops; it does not turn a boss-exclusive item into a random drop.

Find the Blessing

Need more Corruption?

Some Shade items require a minimum Corruption value. Reach that value on the Timeline before repeating the fight.

Plan the next step

Got the right Unique?

If it has Legendary Potential, prepare a matching Exalted item and check its affixes before visiting the Eternity Cache.

Good to know

Can a gear-type Echo drop any named Unique?

No. The Echo reward draws from its eligible gear type. A boss-exclusive Unique needs its own source.

Does meeting a Corruption threshold guarantee the item?

No. It makes the item eligible in that boss pool; the drop is still a chance.
