The Circle of Fortune is one of the two major factions in Last Epoch. While the Merchants Guild specializes in trading and bartering, the Circle of Fortune believes in making their fortune through battle. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then we’ll walk you through how to join the Circle of Fortune.
How to Join Circle of Fortune
To join Last Epoch’s Circle of Fortune, you need to talk to Zerrick, an NPC located in Maj’Elka. Once you make it to Maj’Elka, head to the Upper District, where you can find Zerrick. Speak to him, and he will tell you about the two major Factions and their Central Hubs. He will also give you the option to choose your faction. When you choose the Circle of Fortune, you gain access to the Observatory, located in northern Maj’Elka in the Divine Era.
