What is the Last Epoch Rune of Ascendance?
The Rune of Ascendance is a powerful crafting currency in Last Epoch that transforms any non-Unique/Set item into a random Unique or Set item of the same item type (e.g., a pair of Boots becomes a random Unique pair of Boots).
Unlike standard loot drops, the outcome is determined by the internal weight of each item within its class. Rarer items have significantly lower weights, making this last epoch rune of ascendance calculator essential for planning your endgame gearing.
How to Calculate Success (Example):
- Identify your target item weight (e.g., 1 for a rare unique).
- Find the total weight of that item type (e.g., 50 for all boots).
- Decide how many runes you have (e.g., 20).
- Apply the formula: $1 – (1 – 1/50)^{20} \approx 33.2\%$.
