Eleventh Hour Games has released Last Epoch patch 1.5.2, a maintenance update for Season 5. The patch changes one Bazaar pricing rule, narrows a Bloodrage interaction and repairs problems across every class.
Bazaar listings can now fall to 1 gold
The Merchant’s Guild Bazaar can automatically lower a listing to 1 gold. Its previous minimum was 500 gold. This is a change to the automatic price-lowering floor, not a general reduction in item prices.
Patch 1.5.2 also changes Revitalizing Rage. The Bloodrage buff will no longer apply to characters with effects that grant ward for missing health. Elsewhere in Rage of Morditas, potions from Revitalizing Rage and mines from Coalescing Rage should now spawn within reach. Weaver’s Will items should also gain progress from enemies killed during the event’s gauntlet phase.
Class fixes cover targeting, mana and visuals
Lightning Blast now avoids breakable objects when enough non-breakable targets are available for its chains. Acolyte Summon Wraith minions should appear near the player rather than at the cursor, while Drain Life’s Malignant Discharge node no longer depends on Virulence.
For Sentinel, repeated Shield Rush casts with Mana Memory should restore mana correctly. Rogue Dreamslash shadows using Nightmare Steel now aim toward the player’s cursor. Primalist Entangling Roots should no longer leave the Rooted visual active after repeated casts with Entrapped, and the damage area for Mage’s Plasma Orb should match its visual effect.
Items and encounters receive targeted repairs
The corruption affix that applies Marked for Death on block could activate on an unblocked hit and could mark the player. Both behaviors are listed as fixed. Harbinger Needles should also stop filling their former slot after they are consumed.
Encounter fixes include boss summons and damaging abilities that could remain after the boss died. The Baroness should no longer hold a T-pose during attacks or death, and the Swollen Corpse Champion now carries the name Lord of Entrails. Portal visuals should not duplicate after entering an Echo, while a dungeon ability should no longer trigger the cooldown of a skill placed in the left-most slot.
The update also refreshes notification icons, Rage of Morditas buttons and Nexus interface audio. These presentation changes accompany the mechanical fixes; the official notes do not announce a new activity or class-wide balance pass.
