Last Epoch: Item Imprinting guide

Imprinting is a powerful tool in Last Epoch, used for target farming a specific item. It was introduced in the Tombs of the Erased update and is available within the Weaver Tree through the Woven faction. While the process does not guarantee you'll get what you need, it does increase the chance of an Imprinted item dropping while you are running Echoes.

This guide will show you how to use the Imprint feature and increase your chances of getting that item for better affixes.

As mentioned, Imprinting is available through the Weaver Tree, which is only unlocked after you join the Woven faction. It is an endgame faction that you can unlock while completing Echoes within the Monolith of Fate. Note that each Echo will be Level 62, so we recommend reaching at least Level 55 before engaging them.

While running Echoes, you’ll come across a Cemetery of the Erased, inside which you’ll encounter a Woven Firstborn. Defeating the boss will grant you a Woven Echo and access to the Weaver’s Altar. Using the Altar will open the map and reveal hidden spots where you can place the Woven Echo.

Teleporting after completing the newly found Echo will take you to the Haven of Silk, where an NPC named Masque will grant you access to your Weaver Tree. Press "Y" on your keyboard to access the factions and navigate to the tree.

On accessing the Weaver Tree, you’ll find several new passives. These act similarly to your character passives, but for Echoes. Think of them as modifiers that can juice your Echoes for better rewards. Within the tree, you’ll find various locked nodes named "Riches," which you can unlock and use for the Imprinting process.

Once you invest a point in the node, you can equip an item within the locked window. It will leave an "Imprint," which will increase the chances of acquiring that item. For example, Commoner’s Riches can imprint a weapon or jewelry to increase the chances of monsters dropping similar items.

Note that the drops also depend on the rarity of an item. If it’s a Rare item, the Imprinting process will increase the chances of Rare items in that category. Similarly, an Exalted item will increase the chances for another Exalted of the same category. The affixes can be different, but it increases the chance of you getting the item base you want.

Here are all the Riches within the Woven Tree:

Commoner's Riches: Weapon or Jewelry
Sealed Riches: Armor or Weapon
Loomed Riches: Woven Echo
Echoing Riches: Armor or Jewelry
Woven Riches: Woven Echo
Warlord’s Riches: All items

Some of the nodes will drop items alongside Echo rewards, while others will increase the item drop chance from defeating enemies. You can respec the nodes anytime using Memory Amber.
