Last Epoch Crafting Materials Overview

Crafting in Last Epoch is one of the most powerful and essential mechanics for improving your gear and creating builds tailored to your playstyle. The crafting system focuses on enhancing prefixes and suffixes on items using specialized crafting materials and a system known as Forging Potential. Each item has a limited amount of Forging Potential, and every crafting action consumes a portion of it—once it’s depleted, no further modifications can be made.

Unlike in many other ARPGs, crafting in Last Epoch is highly accessible and deeply strategic, allowing players to take even ordinary gear and turn it into build-defining equipment. It revolves around deterministic upgrades (rather than random outcomes), giving players much more control over the end result.

To improve or modify gear, players use a combination of Glyphs, Runes, and Shards—each with a unique role in the crafting process:

Shards

• Description: Shards are used to add or upgrade specific affixes (prefixes or suffixes) on gear.
• How They Work: Each affix type (like increased damage, resistances, or health) has its own shard. You can store these in your Forge and use them to craft targeted upgrades.

Glyphs

• Glyphs modify how the crafting process works and often reduce the risks involved.
• Glyph of Hope: Grants a chance to not consume Forging Potential during a craft.
• Glyph of Chaos: Randomly replaces the current affix with another valid one of the same type.
• Glyph of the Guardian: Increases the chance of a successful craft on gear with high instability.
• Glyph of Insight (formerly Despair): Adds a specific Elemental Penetration affix when used while crafting amulets.

Runes

• Runes are used for specific crafting actions rather than affix upgrades.
• Rune of Shattering: Destroys an item and grants shards from its affixes.
• Rune of Removal: Removes a random affix from an item, returning its shard form.
• Rune of Refinement: Chooses the best two affixes and removes the rest.
• Rune of Ascendance: Converts an item into a random Unique or Set item of the same base type.
• Rune of Discovery: Fills all affix slots with random modifiers.

These materials are commonly dropped during gameplay, but collecting the exact ones you need - especially in large quantities - can take a lot of time and luck.
