1) Gear selection

Gears are an essential part of any RPG. This equipment ranges from armor pieces to weapons. Last Epoch has a lot of gear sets for you to farm and equip, and each works differently based on the class you select. Sometimes, you might get equipment of higher quality, but that may become worse than the one you have equipped.

Make sure to pay attention to the Affixes in each gear, or else this might result in some stats being lower compared to before. This is one of the common beginner mistakes you need to avoid in Last Epoch.

The Monolith of Fate system allows you to farm blessings for your characters and increase their power level. But this system can be quite confusing as to which one you should challenge. One of the big mistakes you need to avoid in Last Epoch is challenging the wrong Monoliths.

Select the path with the highest level of Monoliths, which is generally the right path, and complete it. Once you reach the end and challenge the last three, you can unlock the empowered Monoliths, which means all the previous ones will be upgraded to level 100 for you to complete and obtain the blessings.

3) Worrying too much about skills

Last Epoch allows you to reset your skills at the cost of minimal gold. You can try various combinations and create your preferred build. But if you try to min-max every skill from the beginning, it can get too stressful.

Do not worry, as you can reset your skills and passives by selecting a particular skill and hitting the Respec button to get back all the points you have invested. But remember, you cannot alter your class and its mastery, so be careful while choosing those.

4) Upgrading the Resistance stats

One of the many common mistakes you need to avoid in Last Epoch is not upgrading your Resistance stats. The game's dungeons have enemies wielding different types of elements, so you might run into a problem if one of the elemental resistances is low.

You must also get the Critical Strike Resistance as high as possible, as it lowers the chance of enemies delivering a critical blow.
