Choosing Between Artem’s Offer and Erza’s Ledger in Last Epoch
Deciding whether to complete Artem’s Offer or return Erza’s Ledger in Last Epoch can impact the Unique (orange) piece of gear you receive. Erza offers the Avarice Gloves as a reward for honesty, while Artem presents the Gambler’s Fallacy Amulet.
While you can accept both quests initially, you must ultimately choose to complete either Erza’s Ledger or Artem’s Offer. The unchosen quest will automatically fail once you’ve accepted a reward. Prioritize loot over morals to determine which gear is the most beneficial for your character.
Comparing Avarice and Gambler’s Fallacy
Choosing Avarice from Erza’s Ledger quest is often the optimal choice for leveling, especially for elemental builds because of its ‘element damage as life’ modifier.
Avarice may not be a popular selection for endgame builds, but it excels in leveling and early monolith builds. I found them to be highly effective throughout the campaign with my Paladin using a Javelin-focused build, making the game feel like a glorified easy mode.
To make an informed decision based on your current gear, compare the stats of Avarice and Gambler’s Fallacy below.
Erza’s Ledger Reward — Avarice
Avarice (Unique Leather Gloves):
- + 10 Armor
- + 5 – 10 Mana
- 3% element damage leeched as health
- 30 – 39% increased Leech rate
- 13% Elemental resistance
Artem’s Offer Reward — Gambler’s Fallacy
Gambler’s Fallacy (Unique Ruby Amulet):
- + 5 – 25 Health
- + 100% Critical strike chance if you have not dealt a critical strike recently
- 50% less Critical strike chance if you have dealt a critical strike recently
- 10 – 15 Health Gain on Crit
(The term “recently” refers to the last four seconds in Last Epoch.)
