Do you lose experience in Last Epoch and is there an XP penalty when fighting high level enemies? That’s what you’ll find out in this guide.

Last Epoch is an early access hack & slash from Eleventh Hour Games, which at first glance can be associated with titles like Diablo 3 or Path of Exile. Although games of this type share many common characteristics, they differ slightly from each other, which is mainly seen in the mechanics. With this guide, you will learn how does the experience penalty work when fighting enemies and when your character dies.

The death penalty lately

Passing through the vast game world, we will meet enemies on our way, from monsters that do not pose a particular threat, through hordes of dangerous enemies, to powerful bosses. This means it’s easy to die in the game. Luckily after the defeat of our character, he does not lose the experience points he has earnedthus, in the Latter Epoch there is no death penalty for experience.

Last Epoch Experience Penalty: Gain experience.

In the game, you can earn experience points in different ways, but the most common way is by fighting enemies. The higher the level of the monster, the more experience you can earn for it. In Last Epoch, however, it’s worth bearing in mind whether the difference between the level of our character and that of the rival does not exceed five points. For example:

If we are level 10 and opponents on the map are level 20we will gain as much experience for them as for the rivals who are level 15. This means that we can earn maximum xp by defeating enemies 5 levels higher than our character. Moreover, it makes no sense to attack opponents much more powerful than ourselves.
