300 Corruption

[OREGRIM]

Since the ability to upgrade items with Legendary Potential is complicated IMHO, do you need L1 trhu L4 items to reach 300 corruption? If not I am going to sell all of them and just use regular versions. Thank you.

Its not that complicated. You take purple items with at least 4 different mods on them. You take an item with LP. The LP tells you how many mods it will randomly take from the item. You smash the two items together. You get the LP item +x many mods from the purple item(which is destroyed).

So if you have a purple item with A,B,C,D and a unique with 2 LP it will randomly pick two of those mods. Maybe AB, Maybe CB, maybe DA its random.

As to your specific question....it depends on too many factors. In general you want to keep whatever uniques are good for your build with as much LP as possible. Beccause when you smash the two items together you are not always going to get the mods transferred you want.

I know the process. I was wondering if I need improved gear to get to 300 corruption monoliths. The boss fight to get to the mechanic of upgrading is tedious and not at all rewarding for me personally. If I need to go through this upgrade process to advance to 300 corruption I will simply stop at the end of normal monoliths. Thanks again.

I guess it depends on your class/build/skill level. Some might be more reliant on uniques then others. I havnt played a ton other then warlock/paladin but I got both to 200+ corruption with like...1-2 LP1 items. I wouldn't say high LP items are required its kind of just endgame/minmax territory.

corruption has diminishing returns anyway and you only need 200 for everything in the game to have a chance to drop. Anything after that is just minmax/pushing your build as far as it can go.

No you don't.

Make a character that deletes the boss in 30 seconds. Any character can perform the legendary upgrades, then stash the results for your other characters.

Thanks for the help all.
