One of the best things you can do toward the end of Last Epoch is join a Faction. At the time of writing, there are two Factions available which are Merchant’s Guild and the Circle of Fortune. If you ask me, then joining the Circle of Fortune is a wise choice as it enhances the drops you get via defeating an enemy. Not only that, but this faction also allows you to seek Prophecies that help in finding better items like Legendary Gear, etc. Sounds intriguing, right?
If you have made up your mind and want to join the Circle of Fortune in Last Epoch, then here’s how you can do it.
How to Join Circle of Fortune in Last Epoch
To join the Circle of Fortune Faction in Last Epoch, you will first need to reach level 9. This should also be the point where you will be in the Divine Era. When in this era, go to the Maj’Elka Upper District and talk to an NPC called Zerrick. He will introduce you to both the Factions and give a brief description of them.
Note: You will visit Maj’Elka District once before reaching level 9. But at that time, the Factions feature won’t be available. So being in the Divine Era is an important requirement for joining a Faction.
While interacting with Zerrick, he will tell you where you can find the headquarters of both Factions. To join a particular faction, you will have to visit the respective headquarters or base of operations. The Circle of Fortune’s base of operation is found at the Observatory, north of Maj’Elka Upper District. Visit the Observatory and talk to an NPC called Galila, the Faction Leader. Speaking to her will give you the option to join the Circle of Fortune in the Last Epoch.
