Legendary item upgrade

[Jolly hoop]

Hi, I was wondering if someone can shed some light on the Legendary item upgrade.
First, is the upgrade only one item by cycle. Meaning 3 upgrade max per character?
If so it`s pretty lame.

Second, does anyone know if the upgrade is random or fixed?
Also, if anyone knows a wiki with info like that I'd be happy if someone could show me a link.

Thank you in avance.

No, it's one affix. I checked when I upgraded the item. I found those exact stats under one affix name on TQ-DB.

I checked too, there isnt one.
your item is with light of haste as affixes.

You're right, my mind must have been bugged since the release of Ragnarök

But how can you enhance legendary and epic items? It is impossible???

Not with the DLC. There is a quest to do this.

I back up before upgrading, upgrade, put item into storage, then delete the save and paste in the backup.
after doing that a few times, I get a good variation of affixes. sadly nothing too special so far, but it still seems more or less random and not fixed.

I just tested it and I have the exact result of what I heard on this forum.

This is my Myrmidon's Pendant before upgrading:

40% Pierce Resistance
19% Bleeding Resistance
34% Elemental Resistance
46% Vitality Damage Resistance
21% Life Leach Resistance
21% Energy Leach Resistance
103% Stun Resistance
+39% Physical Damage
+450 Health
5% Chance to avoid Projectiles

This is the pendant after upgrading. I put the added stats at the bottom so it's easier to see:

34% Pierce Resistance
23% Bleeding Resistance
43% Elemental Resistance
41% Vitality Damage Resistance
20% Life Leach Resistance
23% Energy Leach Resistance
87% Stun Resistance
+39% Physical Damage
+450 Health
5% Chance to avoid Projectiles

43% Poison Resistance
15% Chance of 38-50 Life Leach Retaliation per Second

I copied my character files and did this upgrade 4 times, with the exact same results. Not even the percent values are different.


Edit:
If you upgrade the already upgraded item a second time, you get new stats for it.

I only upgraded blank items so far.
for example with tarwaters shade, I got these as prefixes:

• cleansing
  
• curative
  
• durable
  
• insulated
  
• light
  
• rigid
  
• scholars
  
• stout
  
• tempered

and these as suffixes:

• of dexterity
  
• of essence
  
• of inertia
  
• of needles
  
• of reasoning
  
• of reprisal
  
• of spirit
  
• of strength
  
• of survival
  
• of vitality
  
• of willpower

that is from filling my transfer area (18). the item seeds are all identical (1968, same as blank original) though, which is interesting.
you must be doing something different than me.

Did you do this with the same character and did you change anything before upgrading?

I've done a whole lot of testing and can now pretty much confirm that the affixes you receive are dependant on the item seed and the character you upgrade it with. I only had one small deviation from this with one affix on an item. Other than that it's always the same set of affixes but they change if you upgrade the item with a different char.

It's also noteworthy that the affixes get better the higher the difficulty is. When I tested it on Epic I got two different affixes on an item which basically did exactly the same thing as those on Legendary, just not as good.

I tested it with 2 characters on Legendary to see if it's only the item seed that counts for it or also the character.

After hours of rinse and repeat I finally got usefull affixes out of it and now have a 'Relentless Hector's Spear of Devouring' for my hardcore char. The devouring affix was the crucial part.

The 'Veteran's' prefix is also possible. As far as skill increase affixes go I only got some for the Rouge mastery. Either +1 or +2 to those skills.

yes and no.
I just copy and paste the char folder whenever appropriate. I load into the game, port to the portal closest to the forge, run in, upgrade, place portal to go to asgard, dump upgraded item into transfer storage.

[marLeo]

Hm strange. By doing this I always received the same affixes.

It would be nice if you can select your affixes. You could add a gold requirement for each different one, and increase the price for better affixes. This way players dont have to retry for hours to get the affixes they want on their item and gold becomes more useful.

No, in my opinion as it is now is very good. If you could chose you affixes legendary weapon would be to powerfull and randomness is just more interesting than chosing ;) Do not change anything. For the useful money the best solution is in the Soulvizier - very, very expensive experience and skill potions to buy.

[cakravartin]

People are already trying to get the affixes they want, see the above posts. The randomness should still be an option and the standard for those without sufficient gold, but a choice would be so much better and saves countless hours of useless upgrading. I guess we disagree.
I dont need any skill potions to buy, but i am not against it either. But that is another subject.

Upgrade for gold would be nice. Not choosing the affix though.

if you mean as often as you can afford and not just once, then yes definitely.

[marLeo]

It would have been so much easier and not as overpowered as it is now, if they had just given us the option to put a relic or charm into a legendary item on Legendary difficulty and maybe into an epic item on Epic difficulty.

If you want specific affixes for your stuff it can really be a pain in the a.. because it likely takes hours upon hours to get them, like I did for my immortal Warden hardcore char - which thanks to the item upgrades is now nearly invincible in Legendary (with proper tactics ofc.).

This is annoying, game didnt warned me that i can upgrade only once, i would NOT use this NPC until reaching legendary difficulty than... Seriously, this is a very bad decision. Collecting meadow and steel was already annoying, we deserved that upgrade system to be permanently available. We saved the world from Ragnarok after all!

My item was amulet.
Before upgrade -> after upgrade
- 27% -> 21% pierce res (-6%)
- 22% -> 30% elemental res (+8%)
- 21% -> 24% poison res (+3%)
- 34% -> 31% life leech res (-3%)
- 18% -> 18% attacks steal life (0%)
- 400 -> 545 HP (+145)
- 105 -> 114 Mana (+9)
New bonus: -8% reduction to all requirements

Overall i am not happy with this item. Its added quite useless bonus for me as well as improved one resistances for a price of other. If we can get only one bonus than i would like to be able to choose which one i want...
