question for the min max people

[Helix]

what is the highest achievable offense and defense rating gear can have

[WhIteDragem]

max offence = talking about Hogwarts Legacy outside of 'safe circles' (it might seem)
max defence = playing game and knowing that art and creative pursuits wins out over anger and hate..


serously though.. unserious answer
Max defence is staying in castle.
Max offence is circling around the enemy forces using the tunnel to the shrieking shack....(and backstabbing the lot of the enemy forces)(or ideally 'leaving for reinforcements')

welcome to ignore this post.. nothing insidious meant by it.. I just don't have a min/max build (nor play many games outside of DaggerFall or Kingdom Come Deliverance that cares for such things... (Might and Magic X mayhaps,. but wasn't a well balanced masterpiece.. and I didn't play Bards Tale (microsoft de-make) enough to care... )

From strictly exploring and combat, no questing.

My character is level 31 with:

Health: 2030
Defence: 282
Offence: 275

All gear is Legendary.

Those stats will go higher by the end, if they keep giving me improved gear.

Because the cap is 40.

You get better, and they get higher.

My character is level 35, with all legendary gear with various upgrades.

Hard to know what the cap on a piece of gear is but I thought it was 110 til I found a piece that was 114. You can then add on 36 with an upgrade to the other stat.

So at least 450 if the max is 114 or higher if anyone has found better gear

[Helix]

im currently sitting at lvl 40 4k hp 450 defence 450 offence

450 seems to be the pinnacle at the moment! I have 450 Defense and 447 offense with everything done except for a bug which has landed my conjurations at 139/140. Only thing left to do is to run to map chamber in the story with the other three houses :> I'll try farming out some more legendaries today to get to 450 offense for completionist sake. xD

I also stacked Concentration III on all my gear for the heck of it.

The technical max of all gear is a base rating of 125 for either offense or defense (not both). And the max defense and offense you can have is both 500. Although there is no possible VANILLA way of achieving this at the moment. It is however only possible with the help of hacks or cheats. (I figured this out using a mod menu) also the maximum health fyi is 4,000 it cannot go higher. Also also the max level of a character is technically 49, if 50 is reached (only through cheating) the game will crash. Get mad if you want I used the mod menu with educational purposes only and I have a account on the epic games store that is full vanilla with lvl 40 all max gear and broom :)

Did you dbl check that you haven't missed a collection chest and didn't miss 1 of the butterflies

Max health is 4,000 at level 40. Based on what I have read, the max stat roll you can have for a legendary level 40 gear piece is 114. So your caps for each stat is:

- 114 x 3 pieces of gear (primary stat)
- 36 x 3 pieces of gear (upgrade-based secondary stat)
_____
450 total

The math parses out such that you would achieve the full max benefit of offense / defense at 500 score, but you can't reach 500. You can only reach 450.

I ended the game with 441 defense and 440 offense. I was a beast and quite content, even though I hadn't milked every last drop of power from Gladrags' randomized inventory. :-P
