Whether in Diablo 4 or POE 2, the gambling element of APRG games has always been throughout. From the items dropped by monsters to the affixes of changing equipment with props, this is a kind of gambling.
There is also a more direct way to gamble in the game, and that is to find merchants to gamble. Both Last Epoch and Diablo 4 have merchants dedicated to gambling. They will not provide you with any specific goods, and every time you gamble, you may get junk items or very rare unique items.
Last Epoch Gambler
There are two types of gamblers in Last Epoch, divided into Gold Gambler and Soul Gambler according to the currency they require. They appear in different places and provide different equipment. Each gambler has his own advantage area.
Gold Gambler
The gambler most well-known to players in Last Epoch is Artem the Gambler. When players come to the first hub town, they can see him in The Council Chambers. And you can also find him in various towns afterwards.
Here are the features of Gold Gambler:
- Use Last Epoch Gold as the currency for gambling.
- Gold Gambler can be accessed throughout the game.
- It can help you in the early stages of the game.
- Offers regular items, but no sets or unique items.
- The gambler's inventory is not infinite, and you need to be refreshed with 500 gold each time to obtain additional inventory.
- This gambling method does not include any set or unique item rewards.
- It is completely based on luck, and the probability of appearing high-level items is not high.
- You can only get items up to level 40 in Gold Gambler.
Gold Gambler is a gambling location that players can access early, which is its advantage. If you are lucky enough, you can have some powerful equipment in the early stage of the game, but most of the time it will just swallow your gold and spit out garbage.
The inventory of Gold Gambler is divided into three categories: weapons, armor, and accessories, and you cannot see the affixes of each item. Only after you have got them, then you could see the level and affixes of each item.
Here are tips for using Gold Gambler:
- Items worth 500 gold or less are more likely to give you a profit.
- Use Gold Gambler to replenish items you need or are hard to find elsewhere, such as rings or amulets.
- Break unneeded items to get crafting materials, or take them to merchants for gold.
- Don’t go to Gold Gambler for gambling after level 40, and his goods have lost value to you.
Soul Gambler
Soul Gambler is not encountered until the endgame. After you defeat Fire Lich Cremorus, you can find Soul Gambler. Unlike Artem the Gambler, Soul Gambler offers you more valuable items. Not only do you have a chance to get unique items, you may even get set items.
Here are the features of Soul Gambler
- Use Soul Ember as a gambling currency.
- Located in Soulfire Bastion as part of the game’s endgame content.
- Provides a chance to get unique and set items.
- After you have emptied Soul Gambler’s inventory, you cannot refresh it automatically, and you need to refresh Soulfire Bastion.
Soulfire Bastion
Soulfire Bastion is a Fire, Necrotic-themed dungeon where players need to collect Souls. The feature of Soulfire Bastion is that it allows players to switch between two damage immunity states, and players need to carefully identify the damage type of monsters in this dungeon and fight with the boss. Finally, use the collected Soul Ember to trade with the gambler.
Soul Gambler and Soul only drop in Soulfire Bastion dungeon, which requires a Soulfire Bastion Key to enter. If you die at any time in Soulfire Bastion, you will be teleported out of the dungeon and lose all progress. However, if you have an extra Soulfire Bastion Key, you can continue trying without losing your current progress, which is equivalent to having a chance to revive on the spot. Each key in your inventory gives you one chance to revive.
Soulfire Bastion Keys can be dropped from Timeline Bosses, Arena of Champions, or any monster. Timeline Bosses are recommended here, as Arena of Champions has a low chance of dropping a Soulfire Bastion Key.
Soul Gambler’s Items
Soul Gambler has a bunch of items, and their quantity, type, and value change every time you explore Soulfire Bastion. All of his items are available once you have collected enough currency within the dungeon.
While Soul Gambler’s inventory is mostly random, the items he carries and the gambling results themselves can be modified by setting the about dungeon modifier.
There are also some unique items in Soul Gambler’s inventory that can only be got through Soul Gambler’s rewards:
- Burning Avarice - Unique Gloves
- Ashes of Orchirian - Unique Relic
- Soul Gambler’s Fallacy - Unique Amulet
The above are the two gambling methods of Last Epoch. They can provide you with temporary help when you are most scarce to upgrade your equipment. However, the weapons, armor and accessories obtained through gambling have a very low Forging Potential, so this game encourages players to make their own equipment.
