unfortunately not a bug…

You just got very unlucky for two reasons: either you forget to place enough azoth for the extra perk to roll or you hit 1/1000 that no perk rolls.

Nope, I’m absolutely sure azoth was in there, and that’s two now that are not legendary, so I’m going to say it’s not likely I got 1/1000 twice in a row.

This was done intentionally several patches ago to the sword and shield combo because having an extra perk on both shield and sword was an unfair advantage over other weapon classes so they made it so only the sword could be legendary,

@njoyyy when crafting 600 gs it is always legendary. But when finding 600gs it is not guaranteed legendary.

ive crafted armor at 600gs an it wasnt legendary. more then once as well. I understand the shield reasoning an it makes sense, but armor? i havent hit 200 eng or weaponsmithing yet, do have arcana but already have two leg weapons so not gunna bother but when i hit 200 eng ill try those weapons an see if i get a 600 non leg an post here

@TheGurth I have not crafted a 600gs item that was not legendary.

I have a 600GS shield as well that was crafted, but not legendary.

My theory on shields no longer being legendary is they removed the gem slot they used to have. I haven’t seen shields drop with a socket since the ninja update that happened a while ago, and generally I think that’s what’s restricting them from being dropped/crafting to legendary. Without the possibility of rolling for a gem slot, they would auto scale down in rarity. I would assume anyway

Shield cannot be legendary ATM. They disable d it at 1.1

12

@Tantael was that confirmed by the dev’s? I’ve never seen any update from them regarding shields, other than they mysteriously downgraded after a patch with no explanation, and now they can’t have sockets.

13

then you’ve been lucky my friend

14

So you are saying its unfair for sword and shield to have an extra perk but not unfair to lose your shield stats (15 con for example) when your sword and shield aren’t drawn (aka other weapon)?

No other weapon loses stats when not drawn.
