Last Epoch is finally here, and not only will it be a refuge for many fans of the action RPG genre, but it will also push it forward with a wide array of innovations in many of its systems. Not only does the game have one of the best crafting systems in the genre, but their implementation of the trade mechanic might also be seen as revolutionary in a few months' time.
A few weeks ago, the developers over at Eleventh Hour Games showed off their new faction system, which aims to provide players with a choice between being able to trade with other players or increase the amount of loot they obtain. With trading becoming such a hot topic for the genre in the last decade, especially surrounding the Diablo 3 auction house, let's take a look at how this system is going to reward players who invest their time into it.

Last Epoch: Full List of Item Faction Rewards
Once you reach the end of the campaign in Last Epoch, you will be presented with two faction choices, which are going to determine your playstyle for the endgame portion of the game. You can either choose the Merchant's Guide, which will provide you with the ability to access the Bazaar and trade with other players, or if you are not interested in that, you can pick the Circle of Fortune, which will enhance all of the loot that drops for you going forward.
These factions will have reputation systems, with different tiers of bonuses and rewards. Here is the full list of rewards you will receive at each of the reputation milestones for both factions:
