What an I supposed to do with underlevelled legendary gear?

[Full_Regalia]

Can’t dismantle them, can’t sell them. Apart from stashing them in your vessel, what good are they for?

[Mikoto]

Upgrade them.

[Darth Revan]

nothing if you do not upgrade them or wait until you get the last piece and they autolevel to the level of the last peice.

There is a ceiling to upgrade costs for parts. So it does not cost more upgrading a level 10 piece to level 50 then for example a level 35 one.
Its still expensive but once you hit max level and upgraded you ship you dont really need money/materials for anything else.

Honestly I’m not upgrading any of my gear. There is so much loot out there and you level quite rapidly that it quickly becomes obsolete. A rare item 2 level above your legendary items will have a better armor rating already. I live with what I loot and focusing on boat upgrades.

Then why even make this topic. Seems like a total waste of time if you are just going to disregard an entire mechanic anyway.

Well i learned that i can later upgrade them and the cost is capped regardless of the level difference. Also i learned that if I complete a set all items with autolevel to the highest one. So no it wasn’t a useless post.

When you complete the full set, you get the set engraving
You can use it on other armors without having to wear the set


For the autolevel part, you need all 4 pieces in your inventory when you get the last one
If they are in the ship chest, no autolevel

Never ever upgrade legendary armors if you dont have the full set
Without the full set bonus, they are total garbage with only 2 bonus lines (like...a blue) instead of 3 for any purple...and they cost an arm to keep levelled

[Full_Regalia]

Yup upgrading legendary gear isn’t worth it agreed. Also it’s not like they’re are rare to come about.

[Silver Blur]

They do look fancy, though :)

I mean, the real benefit to legendary gear is unlocking the engravings they come with, and then using those one epic gear. So the level hardly even matters.

Will bonuses also upgrade?
For example: I found Pilgrim´s cowl when I just mess around. It have +9 assassination.
I load my save and play further and forget about cowl. I was about 9 levels higher when I was near it again, so I take it from chest and it has +11% assassinations.
But when you upgrade with blacksmith armor, only its base statistics go higher, but not bonuses.
Does it mean that we should wait with collecting legendary items or just reconcile with lower bonuses?

Yes what :)
We have to deal with lower bonuses if we take those legendary items on lower levels and therefore make them not so unique?

[Admod, the Equivocal]

I normally only wear one set of armor and ignore the rest. At a certain point in the game regardless of what you're wearing I'm sure you've figured out the playstyle you want to get things done.

when you upgrade a item, not only legendaries but any item, to a higher level then the boni will level with them. I do not know at which levels the boni increase are though.
