Resonance inLast Epochis used to gift any item to your friends even if they were not a part of the session when it dropped. It may feel like an extra step compared to other ARPGs such as Path of Exile with a simple trade mechanic, but the system incentivizes people to play together.
Resonance is further divided into two categories: Golden Resonance and Obsidian Resonance. Golden Resonance is needed to gift Normal, Magic, Rare, Unique, or Set items. Obsidian Resonance, on the other hand, is required to gift Exalted or Legendary items.
How To Get Obsidian Resonance
Before we begin, it’s important to note thatit can take a long time before your first Resonance drops.However, there are a few things you can do to speed up the process, especially if you are chasing Obsidian Resonance.
You earn Resonance by simply playing with friends. This does not mean that you can go AFK in a town while in a party.You must be slaying enemies that give any amount of XPfor the Resonance to drop. There is no need to actively participate in clearing but make sure that you are in the same zone and somewhat close to everyone in the session.
Since you continue to earn XP even after reaching Level 100, you should always be building progress toward the Resonance. Also, it is not tied to the amount of XP you earn, soyou can farm Acts if you want, but we do not recommend it.
It is also important to note that yourprogress toward the Resonance persists through sessionsuntil a Resonance type is acquired. The playtime needed to drop a Resonance is not made clear as it is slightly RNG-based. For example, we got our first Obsidian Resonance after a total of six Golden Resonances.
Farming theEmpowered Monoliths on high Corruption(around 400+) andArena are generally recommendedfor not only getting LP Exalted items, but also Obsidian Resonance.
