Last Epoch – Should You Choose The Merchant’s Guild Or Circle Of Fortune?
Once you start to reach the later stages of Last Epoch, you are required to make a decision on what faction to join: the Merchant’s Guild or the Circle of Fortune. Once you join a faction, you’re able to build reputation and become a higher-ranking member of whatever faction you chose to be a part of. In this guide, you can see the best faction to join in Last Epoch, a comparison between the two, and whether or not you can change factions at any point.
The differences between the Merchant’s Guild and Circle of Fortune
For starters, let’s go over what each faction offers in Last Epoch. They are vastly different from one another, so it’s important to understand what benefits each one offers before making a decision.
The Merchant’s Guild gives you the ability to trade with other players in Last Epoch as well as trade with the Bazaar, the hub location for the faction. This trading system applies to Legendary loot as well, so you’re not just limited to lower-tier items. If you don’t join the Merchant’s Guild, you’re only able to sell or salvage the loot you get throughout the game.
