The SSF Mode In Last Epoch
In Last Epoch, there is a mode called Solo Self Found (SSF), which is similar to the concept of SSF in other games.
The SSF mode in Last Epoch is a more strict version of SSF than other games.
In solo mode, each Character has a stash of crafting materials and cannot trade or party with other players or characters.
You can switch to normal mode anytime, but you will lose access to your Solo stash and materials.
Solo mode is designed to make the loot more exciting and challenging and to allow for class-specific leaderboards.
Some players prefer Solo mode, while others enjoy the flexibility of account-bound SSF or normal mode.
Contrarily, it depends on your personal preference and playstyle.
Types Of SSF Mode In The Last Epoch
There are two types of SSF mode in Last Epoch: character-bound and account-bound.
1. Character Bound SSF
In Last Epoch, when you play in SSF mode, anything you find on a character can only be used and seen by that Character.
It’s a strictly solo experience where each Character has its stash.
2. Account Bound SSF
Some players prefer an account-bound SSF mode, similar to Path of Exile’s.
In this version, you can see everything you find on your account in the SSF league and used by any character you have in that league.
3. Drop Rates And Balance
The game is generally balanced around SSF, and drop rates have not been tweaked explicitly for SSF mode.
So, whether you choose character-bound or account-bound SSF, the core gameplay remains challenging and rewarding.
How To Play SSF Mode In Last Epoch?
To play SSF mode in Last Epoch, you need to do the following steps:
- Launch the game and select Create Character.
- Choose your class, appearance, and name for your Character.
- Check the box that says Solo under the character name. This will enable the SSF mode for this Character.
- Click Create and start your adventure.
How To Access Stash In SSF Mode?
To access your stash in SSF mode, you need to find a stash chest in the game world.
These chests are usually located near waypoints or towns, with a blue glow around them.
You can interact with the stash chest by pressing E or clicking on it.
This will open your stash window, where you can store and sort your items.
Generally, the stash has 6 storage tabs, each with a 10 x 10 grid of slots.
You can rename and color-code your tabs to organize your items.
