Grinder: 3 purples = 1 legendary every time?

[StarkRaving]

I've been farming Iwajira then taking my purple loot to the grinder. If I grind three purple items, I get a lengendary item EVERY time. Is this expected behaviour? As well, if I do a moonstone grind on the three purples, I get a lunshine legendary every time.

As a side note, I've farmed Iwajira dozens of times and he's never dropped a Thingy for me. I can't complain though, as I'm armed to the teeth with legendary weapons. I just need to get my hands on a better shield, as the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot that I got is a little hard to use.

If you are able to moonstone grind purples, your game is glitching or hotfixes are unapplied.

you killed kenny ! yoou bastards !

Same for me. Moonstone grind available - costs 90 stones and 3 purple weapons. If they didnt tune it, then it just went off rails last patch. Thx to Aurelia i suppose.

I'm not complaining. I started farming Iwajira at level 49 and now I'm closing in on level 51. I've got an arsenal of legendary weapons. Still need a better shield though.

Either yes, or the RNGods love you

3 purples WITH Moon Stones Makes a Guarnteed Legendary................

(has to be the same puple type of item) (guns) (Class) ETC

I did two purple pistols and one other purp and had a moonshine grind available for 58 stones. After that, I couldn't grind anything else. Restarted, now no combination of purples gives me an option to moonstone grind. Was the first one a bug?

[zverozvero]

Yep. 3 purples (exept for 3 class modes) cant be guaranteed-grinded with moonstone into legendary. Fell apart for couple of days, but they fixed it again i suppose. At least i got my 3DD.something oz kit.

I thought it was 2 Orange + 1 Purple = Orange?

It works that way, and if grinded with moonstones it will guarantee orange and may generate moonshine orange.
At start if remember right 3 purples could be moonshine-grinded to guarantee legendary, but with all golden keys it was removed. 3 purples cant be moonstone grinded but has slim chance like 10% or so to get legendary if grinded as usuall.

If you start and continue your game before it authenticates with SHIFT, the hotfix will not apply... the Grindr will let you moonstone grind 3 purples to get a Legendary. Also, if you try to grind 3 purples without moonstones, your game might crash. If your game was already authenticated with SHIFT, just exit the game and restart/continue as quickly as possible to avoid the hotfix.

its like a 5% chance. STOP PICKING ON IWA HE IS A NICE DOGGY

Heh, got this when couldnt connect to steam and played offline for a bit. Thx, now i get how it happened. Guess Rosie fix is tied to it also - had Rosie with ye'old 500% bonus that time and it fixed back when grinder did.
