Legendary orks question
There is one currently in my game - should I kill it for loot or brand it later (he is higher level than me atm)? What do legendary orks drop?

They drop legendary gear. It depends on what traits that uruk has... or if you like him

If you go into the equipment screen, you can click on the sauron helm icon at the right. That will bring up a list of all the legendary gear and exactly what's needed for it. Basically it's going to be a matter of killing legendary orcs of a specific class and tribe. There's also a set that's only gotten through doing the online vendetta missions.

soo when I get all the legendary gear no legendary orks will spawn? :)

Oh no, you'll always be seeing legendary orcs. It's just that killing one where you already have his gear won't get you a second piece of that gear, as all legendaries are single drop. However you will be required to recruit more legendaries in order to level up lower level legendary gear.

All legendaries are not a single drop per orc, as the previous game, if you don't kill an orc with an execution typically they come back. In theory, you could do this with several legendary orcs to get gear as you need it. I've killed a legendary bard 2 times and he'll probably come back more since I haven't used executions on him due to him being immune.

You can't break down legendary items. They go in their own list below the regular items. Once you have one, it's there permanently.

I power grinded as fast as I could when I found out my Nemesis survived the arena mission, took like 2-3 humiliations but I finally managed to dominate my ultimate nemesis that has 0 weaknesses because of the Uruk Hollow tutorial I used xD now hes my follower From Lugnak the Bloodstorm to Lugnak the Ruined not as red as he used to be and missing one eye from the first time I killed him but it feels good never intended to kill my nemesis :D

You can break legendary gear. I've done it a lot for the coin. You just can't break the bright lords.

Huh, that's odd. None of my legendary gear gives me that option.

I had a legendary orc cheat death 3 times in like 10 minutes, every time I killed him I got the same legendary dagger at the same item level.

Huh, I've killed legendary orcs multiple times, and I've not gotten a legendary drop if I already have it.

Maybe it's a quirk of something I did? I branded him, he betrayed me, I shamed him then branded him again, beytrayed me again so I killed him, then killed him again a few minutes later. Maybe it was an hour or 2, time flies when having fun and all.

Of course you can break down legendary gear (not all of it though, but you can for sure break down stuff you got from bosses) and you can get legendaries multiple times..

Only gear like Bright Lord's are exceptions..
