How to join a faction on Last Epoch?

Officially released this Wednesday, February 21, 2024, the Last Epoch game offers interesting features for players. One of them is faction. There are two types of factions: the Circle of Destiny and the Merchant Guide. Joining a faction allows you to belong to a conglomeration of players under the same banner to fight the other (and incidentally know which faction will reign on the server).


Each faction confers its own specialty. The Circle of Destiny faction allows you to improve the chances of getting higher-quality loot. As for the Merchant Guide faction, it allows you to exchange items at the bazaar or with other players.


Using the Y shortcut in-game, the faction tab appears and offers you two distinct factions. We also learn that you will have to go either to the Observatory for the Circle of Destiny, or to the Bazaar for the Merchant Guide after having unlocked this right in the Last Epoch campaign.
