The Woven Faction, introduced in the Tombs of the Erased update, is an endgame faction centred around the Weaver, a titan aiming to craft a perfect world. Unlike the Forgotten Knights, which focus on Harbingers and Aberroth, the Woven let you manipulate Monolith Echoes for tailored challenges and rewards. You join by completing a Cemetery of the Erased and meeting Masque in the Haven of Silk, unlocking the Weaver Tree and gaining access to new mechanics like Woven Echoes and Memory Amber.
Understanding Tombs, Cemeteries, and Woven Echoes
Tombs of the Erased
What They Are: Mini-dungeons found randomly within regular Monolith Echoes (e.g., Devoured Armory). They're smaller than Cemeteries and lack a complete Echo objective.
Key Features:
Contain Woven enemies and Silken Cocoons that release spirits, possessing enemies for Memory Amber drops.
Drop powerful class-specific idols with unique affixes and new uniques like Weaver's Will items.
Offer one use of the Woven Enchanter for idol enchanting.
Rewards: Memory Amber, idols, uniques, and bonus Echo rewards (e.g., Tomes of Experience) from defeating Goldthread Fateweavers.
Tip: Smash Silken Cocoons in Tombs to spawn possessed enemies for more Memory Amber. Set your loot filter to highlight class-specific idols.
Cemeteries of the Erased
What They Are: Full Echoes on the Monolith Web with a dedicated objective: enter the Cemetery and defeat a Woven Firstborn boss (e.g., Woven Firstspawn).
Key Features:
Packed with Woven enemies, Silken Cocoons, and side chambers containing loot, elites, or events like Loot Lizards.
Boss fights guarantee unique drops, often Weaver's Will items like Inheritance of the Erased.
The post-boss chamber includes the Woven Enchanter (with two uses) and the Altar of the Weaver, which is used for placing Woven Echoes.
Rewards: Woven Echoes, Memory Amber, idols, uniques, and Weaver Tree points.
Tip: Explore all side chambers before the boss for maximum loot. Use the Woven Enchanter to enchant idols and the Altar to place Woven Echoes strategically.
Woven Echoes
What They Are: Itemized maps (36 total) that you place in empty Monolith Web slots via the Altar of the Weaver in Cemeteries. They offer unique encounters, bosses, or crafting rewards.
How to Get Them: Drop from Tombs/Cemeteries, Woven bosses, or purchase from Masque using Memory Amber.
Types and Examples:
Boss Fights: For example, Draal Queen or Uber Aberroth, marked with a skull icon, offer exclusive uniques.
Utility Echoes: E.g., Lostwood Folly (adds Woven packs to nearby echoes for Amber farming) or Great Bridge (shatter Set items for crafting).
Class-Specific Echoes: E.g., Rogue-specific echoes drop loot tailored for Rogues, marked with class icons.
Crafting Echoes: E.g., Farsight Turtle (reroll Legendary Potential) or Baroness (drops crafting shards, possibly +skill modifiers).
Mechanics:
Completing a Woven Echo with a green plus symbol grants a Weaver Tree point (37 total from Echoes, 13 from ranks).
Some require a minimum level of corruption (e.g., Overgrown Graveyard needs 100 corruption).
Can expand the Echo Web or modify nearby echoes (e.g., adding Woven packs or revealing areas).
Tip: Prioritize Woven Echoes with green plus symbols for Weaver Tree points. Place utility echoes like Lostwood Folly near high-value echoes to boost Memory Amber farming.
Memory Amber
What It Is: A currency dropped by possessed enemies (from Silken Cocoons) and Woven bosses in Tombs/Cemeteries.
Uses:
Rank up the Woven Faction (up to Rank 10) by collecting and spending Amber.
Purchase Woven Echoes from Masque (new options unlock per rank).
Re-enchant idols via the Woven Enchanter (costs Amber after the first free enchant).
Farming Tips:
Destroy Silken Cocoons to spawn possessed enemies, which drop Amber.
Use Weaver Tree nodes like Memories of Fortune (increased Amber drop rate) or Entwined Spoils (chance for Woven Echo rewards).
Run Lostwood Folly to add Woven packs to nearby echoes for more Amber.
Tip: Enable auto-pickup for Memory Amber in your inventory settings to streamline the farming process. Spend Amber on Woven Echoes early to unlock more Weaver Tree points.
The Weaver Tree: Customizing Your Endgame
The Weaver Tree is a passive tree tied to the Woven Faction, letting you tailor Monolith Echoes with up to 50 points (37 from Woven Echoes, 13 from faction ranks). Points are earned by completing Woven Echoes and ranking up via Memory Amber. You can respec points using Memory Amber, encouraging experimentation.
Key Nodes for Early Progression
Enthralling Bounty (Left): 20% chance to double echo rewards, boosting loot.
Entwined Spoils (Left): Chance for echoes to spawn Woven Echo rewards, increasing drop rates.
Elder Sap (Left): Adds Memory Amber as a reward type in echoes.
Grand Catacombs (North): Increases Tomb frequency on the Echo Web.
Graveborn Paths (North): Makes Cemeteries more common, speeding up Woven Echo access.
Memories of Fortune (North): Boosts Memory, Amber drop rate.
Zerrick's Aid/Golden Treasures (South): Gold bonuses for Merchant's Guild players.
Tip: Start with the “econ” path (Enthralling Bounty → Entwined Spoils → Elder Sap) to snowball Memory Amber and Woven Echo drops, then grab Tomb/Cemetery nodes for faster progression.
Strategic Nodes
Commoner's Riches: Imprint a weapon or jewellery item for a chance to drop piles of similar items, mimicking smart loot.
Eclipsed Battleground: Removes Arena Echoes, increasing the density of other echo types.
Bountiful Sarcophagy: Rare enemies in Tombs/Cemeteries can drop timeline-specific boss uniques.
Lostwood Folly (Echo): Adds Woven packs to nearby echoes, ideal for Amber farming.
Tip: For Circle of Fortune players, prioritize XP nodes like Tomes of Insight for faster levelling. Merchant's Guild players should grab gold nodes to fuel trading.
Idol Enchanting with the Woven Enchanter
The Woven Enchanter, found in Tombs (one use) and Cemeteries (two uses), lets you enchant class-specific idols (e.g., Adorned Idols) into Heretical Idols with Weaver's Touch. This adds an Enchanted Affix (starting at Tier 1) and Weaver's Will (5–28), which upgrades affixes as you kill enemies or use a Rune of Weaving.
Mechanics:
The first enchant is free; re-enchanting costs Memory Amber.
Weaver's Touch affixes don't affect existing affixes, adding up to two extra modifiers (e.g., physical resistance, critical strike multiplier).
Affixes can reach Tier 7 with high Weaver's Will or Rune of Weaving.
Best Affixes: +skill levels, attributes, or build-specific stats (e.g., bleed duration for Bleed Falconer).
Tip: Enchant idols with strong base affixes and save Memory Amber for re-enchanting only if the Weaver's Touch affix is lacklustre. Use the Rune of Weaving to reveal affixes instantly.
Tips for Woven Faction Success
Rush Cemeteries: Unlock the Woven Faction early by clearing a Cemetery to access Masque and the Weaver Tree.
Optimize Loot Filters: Highlight class-specific idols and Woven Echoes; hide irrelevant affixes to reduce clutter.
Place Woven Echoes Strategically: Use utility echoes like Lostwood Folly near high-value echoes for Amber farming. Place the boss echoes for unique hunting.
Balance Stability: Place 5–10 Woven Echoes per timeline to avoid overstaying in low-level timelines (e.g., Black Sun). Complete the boss and move to empowered timelines.
Farm Memory Amber: Smash Silken Cocoons and run Woven-heavy echoes. Use Memories of Fortune and Entwined Spoils nodes to boost drops.
Check Uniques: Hunt Weaver's Will uniques (e.g., Cradle of the Erased) with high Will (20+) for Tier 7 affixes. Use Last Epoch Tools to verify drop sources.
Experiment with Builds: Pair Woven Faction farming with S-tier builds like Nova Hammerdin or Torment Warlock for fast clears.
Tip: Use Maxroll's Woven Faction guide for detailed node breakdowns and Last Epoch Tools for idol affix pools.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Ignoring Silken Cocoons: Always destroy Cocoons to spawn possessed enemies for Memory Amber.
Overloading Echoes: Placing too many Woven Echoes (20+) can slow timeline progression. Stick to 5–10 early on.
Wasting Memory Amber: Don't re-enchant idols unless the base is exceptional. Spend Amber on Woven Echoes for Weaver Tree points.
Skipping Weaver Tree: Invest points early to boost Amber and Echo drops, or progression feels gated.
Missing Post-Boss Chambers: Always explore after the boss for the Woven Enchanter and Altar of the Weaver.
Why the Woven Faction Shines
The Woven Faction revolutionizes Last Epoch's endgame, turning the Monolith into a player-driven sandbox. Tombs and Cemeteries add variety, Woven Echoes offer tailored challenges, and Memory Amber fuels progression. The Weaver Tree's flexibility rivals Path of Exile's Atlas, while idol enchanting and Weaver's Will uniques deepen crafting. It's a loot-filled, strategic playground that keeps every run engaging.
Tip: If you're new, try a forgiving build like Fireball Sorcerer or Judgment Paladin to ease into Woven content. Check Maxroll's tier lists for more options.
