Farm Efficiently: Imprints, Prophecies & Gear (Last Epoch Season 2) — Summary by Bina
Overview
Practical methods to farm imprints, prophecies, and target gear in Last Epoch Season 2. Focus areas:
- What to place in the Weaver tree.
- Which echoes/maps to run.
- How corruption affects drops.
- Prophecy and lens tricks to increase yield (especially for red rings and exalted items).
Imprint types & how they work
Weaver tree slots (what to place where)
-
Kill/enemy proc slot (Echoing Riches)
- Place a weapon or jewelry you want to duplicate.
- Items can drop from kills inside echoes.
-
Echo reward slot (Seleur / “echoing riches” behavior)
- Imprints can trigger from the end-of-echo reward — open the middle reward device (not the side chest).
- Some nodes (e.g., Seleur) collect rewards from surrounding echoes so one node can trigger multiple procs.
-
Cache / Sealed riches (Unclaimed Trove / Lost Caches)
- Place an armor or weapon to be imprinted when opening lost caches.
- Best runs: Unclaimed Trove in Wrecked Vessels / Graveyard or Barnacle King vault.
-
Champion / Warlord’s riches
- Imprints proc when killing champions and can drop piles of sealed items.
- The number of items in the pile corresponds to the number of affixes on the imprinted item.
Affix targeting
- Use high-stat or high-affix items as imprints to bias drops.
- Example: high Weaver’s Will value on the imprint increases chances for high-WW drops.
- High LP or a specific legendary affix on an imprint biases drops toward those traits.
- For Warlord’s riches, imprint items with many affixes to get larger sealed piles.
Key farming strategies & setups
Red rings (COF-specific)
- Run Echoing Riches often; farm Weaver’s Gift items when targeting Weaver affixes.
- Use Unclaimed Trove (many caches) to farm sealed/cached imprints.
Champion imprint farming
- Rune Prison Complex woven echo (rare) is excellent: many exiled mages and extra champion possibilities.
- Tip: Don’t go to the middle to craft experimental affixes — loop the echo and repeatedly farm champions/exiled mage drops and favor.
- This yields many champion imprints and experimental-affix drops.
Map / echo layout (sustained farming)
- Use a central Lostwood Foley or Seleur node surrounded by multiple echoes (False Temple, Unclaimed Trove, etc.) to create a circle that generates lots of memory ember and sustain.
- A single Seleur can pull rewards from adjacent echoes, increasing procs per run.
- Balance False Temple (lots of enemy spawns → memory ember) and Unclaimed Trove (caches) to keep runs sustainable indefinitely.
Exalted gear
- Imprint exalteds where possible, but exalted is rarer than uniques.
- Target-farm exalteds with imprints and consider Nemesis / Conquer Tower runs which have high LP drop potential.
Corruption and scaling
- Corruption affects imprint outcomes; exact mechanics are not fully datamined.
- Recommended corruption sweet spot: around 1,000.
- Provides better rarity/favor benefits without the severe slowdown and poor XP beyond that point.
- Soft caps to be aware of: 100 (start of empowered bundles), 300, and 1,000.
- Only push corruption if you can maintain clear speed — favor/hour is often more important than raw drop rarity if runs slow down too much.
Prophecies & lenses
Observatory (Divine Era)
- Use the Observatory to pick prophecies for Column of Fate (COF) runs.
Prophecy selection
- Fill your prophecy list with targets you want (runes, idols, uniques).
- Avoid low-value prophecies (e.g., those that “guarantee 1 LP” on uniques) — they cost a lot of favor for little gain.
Lenses
- Use lenses to:
- Double uses, or
- Double drops, and/or
- Narrow prophecy types (e.g., filter to rings).
- Common lens choices: double uses, double drops, and a filter for specific prophecy types.
Watch icons vs text
- A “jewelry” prophecy icon can be any jewelry piece — if you want rings specifically, pick a ring-specific prophecy rather than generic jewelry.
Boss-prophecy repeat trick
- Use Glyphs of Envy to boost Timeline Stability to max.
- Kill the boss, then exit before killing the harbinger so you can repeat the boss quickly.
- This consumes ~50 stability per repeat instead of ~800, letting you chain boss prophecy procs efficiently.
Other tips and reminders
- Always place high-affix or high-value items into imprint slots to bias drops toward those stats.
- Use TonkLabs (monoscaling data) for corruption, scaling, and numeric references.
- Focus on favor/hour efficiency: slower methods with marginally higher drop quality can be worse overall than faster, lower-corruption runs.
- Consult Bina’s deeper method videos for detailed guides (red ring farming, woven echo choices, boss-prophecy guides).
Quick step-by-step (imprint-focused)
- Decide your target (e.g., red ring, exalted affix).
- Choose the appropriate imprint slot:
- Echoing Riches for kill drops.
- Sealed Riches / Unclaimed Trove for caches.
- Warlord’s/Champion Riches for champion/exalted piles.
- Use a high-stat / high-affix example item as the imprint.
- Build a loop: center Seleur or Lostwood Foley surrounded by False Temple and Unclaimed Trove echoes to sustain memory ember and maximize procs.
- Run at ~1,000 corruption unless you can maintain speed at higher corruption.
- Use Rune Prison Complex for champion-focused runs.
- Supplement with prophecies + lenses to target runes, idols, or uniques.
