Max Level in Last Epoch & Progress Path Explained

Navigating through the realm of Eterra in Last Epoch involves strengthening your character and enhancing your abilities as you progress through levels. If you're wondering about the pinnacle of power or, more precisely, the maximum level achievable in the game, you'll find the answers below. 

The upcoming sections will delve into the maximum level attainable in Last Epoch and outline the path of progression leading to it. Without any delay, let's dive into the details.

Max Level in Last Epoch & Progress Path Explained

At the time of writing, the max level cap for Last Epoch is set at 100, though this could be increased with future patches and updates. Progressing to level 100 is a straightforward process, thankfully, and there are no experience penalties in the game, allowing you to farm for your levels without needing to adhere to any specific restrictions.

Depending on how you play will also vary the rate at which you level up, as reaching the max level can take the average player around 60-70 hours, which will see you playing well past the main campaign. However, more knowledgeable players can shorten this time with the right use of skills and abilities for farming levels and take a more efficient level progression path.

Speaking of, the game sports three progression paths for collecting levels: base levels, skill levels, and mastery class levels. These are broken down as follows:

• Base levels are gained by earning experience up to level 100.
• Skill levels are gained by earning experience while a skill is specialized.
• Mastery Class levels are gained by spending points in their respective Passives trees. Unspecialized Mastery classes are limited to level 25.

There is also some unique incentive in this game for each level you gain aside from the basic increase of strength your character gains. Here's a breakdown of what you get for leveling up by one level in Last Epoch:

• +5 Health and +1 Health Gained on Potion Use per level
• 1 Passive point every level after level 3.
• Specialization slots for Skills at levels 4, 8, 20, 35, and 50
• Certain skills depending on the Class

It's also worth noting that once you reach level 80, that’s considered part of the end game, and it’s more of a grind than the previous levels. So, every level you gain after level 80 will be significantly harder to reach, and the amount of strength added per level diminishes drastically, so it's all about farming at that point.

Thankfully, there are plenty of ways to increase your leveling speed in Last Epoch, such as completing the campaign, finding the Monoliths of Faith and Shrines, as well as taking part in the game arenas, and clearing every dungeon you come across. Of course, there are other methods you can try, but essentially, the more time you invest in the game's additional combat features, the faster you'll level up.

Of course, some abilities are also far better at defeating certain enemies than others, so using the correct skills and abilities in the right situations will also make farming levels much easier.

So there you have it, everything you need to know about the max level of all the characters you can play in Last Epoch, as well as the progress path you need to navigate to get there. As always, be sure to check out our full Last Epoch section here for more guides, news, and more.
