Legacy chest question.

[BrutHammer]

Where can i finde items, that i have placed in this chest as a new character with this legacy?

My question is why use the chests at all when the devs let you use splitscreen to move over things?

Honestly, it seems like the legacy system was supposed to be something more but given that this game was rushed towards a release, some things were left unimplemented. Things like having your character retire, "legacy level", and perhaps the ability to transfer over skills with the skill tablet.

To answer your question, they all are where you left them from your last game. They are all in the legacy chests and you have to fight your way back to them with your new character. Good Luck.

That sucks, thx.

Pretty much this. Even if you want to utilize the Legacy system like it was "intended", you'll still come across issues like items disappearing from the Legacy chests. As they are now, they're really undesirable and not well implemented, in my opinion.

There's one significant difference between legacy chests and simply using splitscreen to hand items over. With legacy chests the item is actually duplicated. If you take character 1, toss lantern of souls in legacy chest, when you start a new game with that character's legacy, the legacy chests are populated at game start. Meaning at that point you can take all the stuff out of character 1's legacy chests and they will still be there in character 2's chests. Ended up with 3 lantern of souls from testing this out instead of just one.

So how does that work if you don't do the blue route..

While this is true, this serves very little purpose outside of very niche scenarios and also has the propensity to bug out. There's been times where I've left items in Legacy chests and when I go to check on them later, they're gone. There appears to be something that completely deletes everything and anything that you've ever put in Legacy chests.

I think the Legacy system is just a result of a rushed release. I'm almost positive that they had grander plans for the Legacy system that they were just unable to implement while being rushed towards releasing the game. There's too many signs that point in that direction. Things like Legacy levels, transferring skills via the Legacy system, and character retirement.

You can attain the Cierzo Town Key while joining any faction quest line by completing the Vendeval quest. It is a timed quest and it is possible to fail this quest, but it is completable regardless of which faction the player joins.

Considering the removal of being able to infinitely farm tsar stones, I think the legacy system is going to get a lot more attention now. With a mix of splitscreen passing a town key to a new character and the legacy system you can get to a legacy chest within minutes. It's actually faster to do that to get tsar stones than even the 7 day ghost respawn that is being removed.

That is an interesting method of split-screen cheesing. With that being said, it's still split-screen cheese. I highly doubt that's what the developers want you you to do. Create throwaway characters for the sole purpose of duplicating Tsar stones and then having those throwaway characters give it to a character that matters.

Legit gameplay right there. :Shrugs: And why would any PC player in their right mind even bother with this? Hell, even console players have ways to duplicate items without the Legacy system. Honestly, neither system was ideal, but now you're pretty much forced to cheese if you want to actually get anywhere with Tsar stones.

It's kind of silly design in my opinion and does not up the value of the Legacy system one bit for me.

Maybe if they allow the Legacy Chests to imbue better stats on the items when you get it from a legacy character would make the legacy chests a bit more appealing. Say for instance, you put the a piece of armor with fire res in the legacy chest and the chest would imbue the armor with better fire res or better defense for the legacy character, but also make it a one time deal. I think people would spend time going back to getting the better armor set.
