How to Obtain Unique/Legendary Items

This guide will show you how to obtain each unique/legendary item in Expeditions: Rome.

INTRODUCTION

I have listed how to obtain each item and provided a photo. Items are organized by Act. I will not provide a review of each item unless requested.

Disclaimer:

Spoilers ahead. I did not obtain two out of the four recently added unique Roman armors. If I missed additional items, please let me know. I do not have photos of where certain items are located, sorry. Most of the weapons have a modified stat and are max rank. Thanks for reading!

ACT 1

CROCEA MORS:

You will receive the sword's unique crafting material after the main quest, March on Mytilene. After Act 1, you will return to Rome and can speak to Gaius' mother, who will provide you with the sword's schematic. You will then be able to craft the sword in Act 2.



COMPANION ARMOR:

Sextus will ask you dismantle Calida's armor during the sidequest, A Better Lorica. You can then craft a unique version of her armor. The same process can be done with Calida's hood, Syneros' toga, Caeso's helmet and armor, and Bestia armor (if you have sufficient crafting materials).

MISC.

The developers added four unique Roman armors. I do not know if the armors are random or scripted and I only discovered two.

COCLES' ARMOUR:

I obtained this armor as loot during a pacification quest in Act 2.



PUBLIUS CRASSUS' ARMOUR:

I obtained this armor as loot during a random combat encounter in Act 3.

[Kingmaker]

Anyone know if there's a reliable place to get the Armor of Vulcan in Act III? I never got it from a random drop, but all of the other random items seem to be hard-linked to certain chests now.

I found the Harpe in Act I on the Troas docks, Cocles' Armor in a hidden chest in a Roman backalley in the first interlude in Rome, and Crassus' Armor in a chest in the hunters' lodge in Memphis in Act II.

[MRFlackAttack]

We need an update for this guide since the update to 1.6

[Karvth]

I got crassus armor in act two as random loot in a chest

[Wulfrik]

Should be gotten as loot from the Slave Trader in the Court of Heaven, if you kill him.

[ApocalypseMeows]

I cant find the electrum kopesh in act 2 anytips where?

[Cucked and Loaded]

There is also a Lance/Pike in Act 3. Find the Silver Spear Shaft (for me in random encounter) and pay the smith 1000 denarri for the plans. The village after available after In This Mess quest.

Invictus (Unique Scissor) must be a random drop. I got it from a pacification mission in Act 1 in my 2nd playthrough.

Alexander's Spear on random event of act 2 The Mysterious Tomb. Sending a veles and going for the fastest route
