Two Factions are available to join in Last Epoch following the 1.0 update and full release, with the Circle of Fortune offering some great rewards for your efforts.
You can only be aligned to one Faction at a time in Last Epoch, and aligning with the Merchant’s Guild will provide a different way to obtain valuable items than the Circle of Fortune—though the latter comes with the excitement of obtaining a drop for yourself.
If you want to know all the benefits you can obtain by joining the Circle of Fortune, we’ve got all the information you need.
Every Circle of Fortune Rank reward in Last Epoch
The bonuses provided by joining the Circle of Fortune in Last Epoch are not unlocked automatically. Instead, additional bonuses are unlocked when you increase your Faction Rank—which can be done by defeating enemies and completing quests.
Every bonus provided as a reward in the Circle of Fortune is focused on giving better items or more items when drops occur, making grinding for gear easier. But items that drop while aligned with the Circle of Fortune cannot be equipped by your character if you switch to the Merchant’s Guild.
You can see all the rewards available in the Circle of Fortune in the table below.
| Rank one | Enemy Item Drop Chance | Enemies have a 35 percent chance of dropping twice as many items. |
| Rank two | Upgraded Rune of Ascendance | 45 percent chance for Runes of Ascendance to be preserved when used on an item that requires at least Circle of Fortune rank one. |
| Rank three | Idop Drop Chance | Whenever an Idol drops, there is a 25 percent chance for two more to drop at the same time. |
| Rank four | Exalted Affix Chance | Affixes are 50 percent more likely to be Exalted. |
| Rank five | Monolith Echo Reward Upgrade | 35 percent chance for double rewards from Monolith Echoes. |
| Rank six | Legendary Potential Chance | Uniques are twice as likely to have Legendary Potential. |
| Rank seven | T7 Affix Chance | T7 Affixes are twice as common. |
| Rank eight | Rare to Exalted Chance | Items that would drop as Rare above level 44 have a 25 percent chance of becoming Exalted. |
| Rank nine | Full Set Drop Chance | When a Set item drops, the whole set drops instead. |
| Rank 10 | Prophecy Reward Upgrade | Items from Prophecies are duplicated. |
