Obtaining Runes of Ascendance in Last Epoch
Primary Acquisition Methods:
- Completing specific campaign quest rewards in Chapters 7 and 9.
- Defeating endgame dungeon bosses (especially Temporal Sanctum final chest).
- Target farming empowered Monolith of Fate timelines with "Dropped Items Have X% Chance to be Rarer" modifiers.
Efficient Farming Strategies:
- Prioritize quests "Breaking the Siege" (Chapter 7) and "An End to War" (Chapter 9) for guaranteed runes.
- Run Temporal Sanctum repeatedly - final treasure room has high rune drop rates.
- Stack Item Rarity bonuses via gear/blessings when running empowered Monoliths.
Drop Mechanics:
- Standard drop rate increases with corruption level in Monoliths.
- Runes never drop from normal monsters - focus on timeline completion rewards/bosses.
- Cannot be gambled via Curio Collector - exclusive to high-tier content.
