How in the hell do I forge good quality legendary items?!

[NoobLAN]

I've maxed out some craft tech and tried to calculate what kind of items I'll get with different materials. And I was really surprised when even with the best components ever got barely a half of qulity on legendary level. Is there a way to make not so crude legendary things?

A future building will help with that.

Not right now. Right now, all you can do is specialize in the crafting branch and use fifth-tier materials. Even doing that will only get you a bit over the halfway point.

Eventually, maybe it'll be different. There's a building in the works that will boost essence yields in crafting. There are tiers of item quality, currently unimplemented, that may help.

Right now, you can't do much better than half-full when making Legendary-tier.

Just to be specific. I have shields and books maxed out, but even with the most suitable materials their legendary version is trash.

For most equipment, a maxed out elemental bar is better than a maxed out normal bar, and a maxed out legendary bar (once we get it) will be better than a maxed out elemental bar.

Right now a few bars of legendary weapons and armor have potential uses. The +1 move for legendary shields is quite valuable for Dwarf characters.

I'm noobie, What the Skill Orange Bars makes? whats the diference?

Also, use wild material since it gives the most essence per piece

Right now, a master crafted legendary is already better than maxed out elemental.
Eventhough, legendary bar is still not maxed.

The real issue is that T5 equipments are an overkill right now. The high end content is too shallow. If you can outfit one char with the best of the best T5 equipment, you can faceroll the whole game.

the bar fills up based on the number and essence of the ingredients there are threshold levels marked above the bar these are for big changes in effectiveness like going from a weapon that is STAT x1 to STAT x2
