Legendary Cores
Ok so I am at the point where I am looking to add legendary mods to my items. My research said attending events marked with exclamation points is where they drop. Went to a Scorchbeast Queen event and she was at about 80% when I arrived. As suggested for my level concentrated on killing the adds so the high levels could concentrate on the queen. End of event I got 0 cores. What am I missing?

If you haven't already, look in your Inventory under the Misc tab. That's where you'll see them.

To get full rewards from Scorched Earth you need to do at least 1000 damage to the queen, but I don't know if it affects core drops so can't say for sure if it's the reason.

"Should" get cores just for being there when it's over.

Ok, thanks. Never paid any attention since they drop from almost everywhere and I do lots of events, also lazy at rolling leggos so have silly piles of them.

You're welcome.

With many events I do, the cores don't always show under the New tab or on the popup telling you what rewards you got from the event.

Yeah, if you get anything stackable that you already have in your inventory it doesn't show in new tab. A bit annoying tbh.

LOL, so that's what causes them not to show. I try not to ever use all my cores. Like having a few available for when I'm feeling Lucky. :)

Thanks for the info.

That’s how you end up with hundreds of stimpaks, purified water, and other chems. They slide over into the aid/food tabs and never show on New.

lol ... , me it's "inventory" management with multiple characters ... !

Mainly use them on weapons (primary/secondary).

2/5 characters have alot of them (k), either, build completed or was very lucky to have a "god" roll on the 3rd try ... !

One character is struggling to make reserves of them, have to play it.

And the two last are ok with small reserves of them.

And for the drop of "Legendary Cores", I think, it's "event" related so if you succeed the event, you will have Legendary Cores added to your inventory ... .

I guess I just got unlucky and got zero as my reward. I was trying to upgrade my main weapon for the first time. Needed 5 and only had 3 so Im sure I got none from that event. Guess I just have to start doing more events.

Rewards (Caps, Legendary Cores, Scripts, etc ... ) are often randomly awarded, you can have few or more.

And yeah, if you want to roll for Legendary Attributes, you must do nealy all the events in your playing session ... !!! You can spend a "huge" amount of Legendary Cores and Legendary Modules to have a first "decent" weapon. It must be your priority then you can roll on armor parts or PA parts ... .
