PTR: Upgrading 590+ Epics to Legendary?

image

I’d really love a clarification on what does qualify an item as ‘procedurally generated’?

I’ve tried to upgrade several epic 590+ GS random drops from mobs and chests and none of them turned legendary, both weapons and armor. I honestly was really excited to see this change and extremely disappointed that it seemingly is not what I thought it would be or just straight up doesn’t work.

Maybe it’s only for crafted items?

I definitely am very curious about this

I’m guessing it means named items like myrkguard’s earring which has a random 3rd perk if legendary

That would be so disappointing.

Can we have some information on how this is supposed to work @Delakron ? Would highly appreciate it.

It should be any item honestly. It is rolling a random perk when hitting 600 so I think it’s completely fair.

It gives shards more value.

We currently don’t have a way to “reforge” a main stat or perk so there is still plenty of RNG here.

AGS; ensure epics at 600 can have 0 shards applied to push to legendary. It would suck for you to miss that QoL.

This would be an absolutely amazing change. Suddenly all these useless 2 perk items would have a lot more value and make farming shards a lot more valuable aswell.

I really hope the change was supposed to make it so you can upgrade any random 590+ epic item found in the world on mobs and in chests, and it just doesn‘t work correctly at the moment. Make it happen, AGS!

I’ll add my own anecdote. Spent months worth of crafting materials to create 20+ bags, got 5 legendary out of that with the rest essentially being unusable.

If this change is added (retrospectively as well). I could possibly turn those not so great bags into something decent.

@Aenwyn could you please tell us when can we expect answer from Devs on given feedback after last PTR update? Will there be another PTR patch? If yes please tell us when.

ty for the reply! it s a pity though, was looking forward for that change, currently 99% of purple items r worthless and that could be a way to expend umbral shards into. Hope the devs start looking into this again

Appreciate the response! May I ask why though, Pretty much everybody I’ve seen talking about this thinks it would be an absolutely amazing addition. Any chance this is going to make it in at some point in the future?
