Last Epoch rewards players who relish exploring, crafting, and trading potent artifacts to bolster their characters. However, for those who prefer not to engage in player trading or the hassle of selling items, there's an alternative option: Last Epoch The Circle of Fortune. 

This exclusive club comprises explorers who thrive on the excitement of scouring the perilous regions of Eterra for unique and valuable treasures. They believe that the most effective way to acquire Last Epoch Items is by finding them firsthand, guided by the stars to uncover even more potent loot. 

How To Join Circle Of Fortune?

To join the Circle of Fortune in Last Epoch, players need to journey to Maj'Elka, a bustling trading city, and locate the Upper District. 

Upon arrival, seek out Zerrick, an NPC who will provide an introduction to the Factions and the Central Hub.
