How Last Epoch wipes work
Last Epoch is a time-travel action RPG by Eleventh Hour Games with deep skill specialization and crafting. It left Early Access on February 21, 2024 and runs seasons (originally called cycles) with a fresh seasonal realm alongside the permanent Legacy realm.
Last Epoch seasons work like ARPG leagues: seasonal players create new characters without access to prior-season gold, crafting materials, faction progress or stash. Legacy remains playable, and season characters, shared resources and faction progress migrate there after rollover; items remain accessible through remove-only stash tabs. Season 5 launched on October 1, 2026 at 16:00 UTC, and recent seasons have varied from about four to seven months.
What gets reset
- New seasonal characters and their campaign/endgame progression
- Season stash, gold, crafting materials, Bazaar economy and faction progress
- Season ladders
What you keep
- Previous-season characters and equipped items (moved to Legacy)
- Previous-season stash items (Legacy remove-only tabs)
- Gold, crafting materials and faction progress after merging into Legacy
- Cosmetics and supporter rewards
- Existing Legacy characters and stash
How to prepare for the next wipe
- Pick a starter build before launch — the first days of a fresh economy are the most rewarding.
- Choose your faction (Merchant's Guild or Circle of Fortune) based on how you like to trade.
- Read the season patch notes for class changes and the new seasonal mechanic.
