Legendaries found on Console versions


Recommended Posts

Well, I thought since I now have a story to share, us poor consolers should have a topic to discuss finding / found Legendaries.

 

It actually wasn't one of my toons - I was watching my friend play on my machine.

 

<story>

So, I'm shopping away with my DW Dryad, and my buddy comes in, we greetz, etc, and he says... "You should go shop in Platinum". I had forgotten he was in the Desert the night before, and stayed up playing after I went zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

"But I'm trying hardcore again" I reply, but I could tell he was anxious to finish Gold and go shop (for himself) in Plat. Since I hadn't eaten dinner yet, 'twas a good time to stop anyway, so I handed over the controller.

 

Playing a Devout Temple Guardian, level 55, he makes some minor adjustments for bosskilling, while my leftovers from the night before sizzle and pop from being bombarded by microwave energy.

 

I was eating while he was fighting, so I wasn't "really" paying attention. I know for sure he didn't have any 4-stars in his inventory because I watched him gear up for the battles. From the sounds of the battle, nothing special happened. Each fight was "normal" (for us): 45-60 seconds, a couple of scary moments, etc.

 

We get a glitch quite often when in the Machine and fighting the guardians. Sometimes, the "active" guardian doesn't wake up, although it can be damaged, receives the shield/egg support, but never fights back. The 4th Guardian glitched like this, and I commented "Not the funnest way, but it gets the job done". "Agreed" was his response (edited for PG audience). He clicks the last quest and finishes Gold.

 

After starting Platinum and arriving in Sloeford, he first goes to merchant to offload the drops from Guardians, and...

 

"BONESLICER:)" he says, puzzled.

 

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

 

I immediately realize what happened, and tell him. High fives are exchanged, and I got the much-needed reassurance that PS3 will drop a Legendary. Yes, it does kinda "suck" that Boneslicer dropped, but that's how Sacred works :woot: His Temple Guardian actually has 6 pairs of Demiurge belts (3 @ level 60) from this campaign.

<end of story, life goes on>

 

So, 0% Chance to find Valuables, EP = 15 ( I think, it's not maxed, and Bargaining relics were still on) not really the highest damage/lowest # of hits.... Sacred randomness at its best!

 

Anyone else have Legendaries "drop" for them on console. Online or off, solo, multiplayer, co-op, I want to hear about it!

Yeah, I've had Boneslicer drop in the Orc cave once. A bit disappointed as it's probably the easiest one to get and add to that, I had 3 in my chest from previous games.

 

Whilst not a legendary, I've had the shield from the blind guardian quest drop once before too. That too dropped in the Orc cave.

 

Both times I had an EP 3 times my character level.

I have seen plenty of console users that have found legendaries so there's no need to worry as they can drop, and I know how bad drop rates can be as it took me over 8 months before I found my first one in the PC version.

Yeah, I figured the randomness was the main factor.

 

Also, had wondered if anyone had done any goldigging in console, if they see the same drop rates as Barristan, etc.

I really like this thread, gives me hope that I might still find an illusive legendary item yet! ;)

 

Golddigging on console would be awesome... I'm always trying to see how hard I can push my brand new characters and I think this would be a great reason to do some boss runs. :cstars:

I found the 'second ring' in the swamp lv140

Congrats!

Out of curiosity, how much of a bonus to All CAs and All Skills is it giving you at that level?

 

And it seems that you joined the forums today, so: Welcome!

Just 5 minutes ago, AT LONG LAST, I had a legit legendary weapon drop for me, a level 60 Magisil. I had pretty much given up hope that I'd ever get a legendary weapon to drop from a normal monster, after the countless hours that I've played this game. I'm in the middle of the Dryad Islands, the Magisil dropped from either a champion tree or champion purple flower. I'm using inquisitor also so no EP, only around 15% CFV. I've had a few toons with maxed EP and never had a legendary drop, but now one drops for my level 48 inquisitor in Silver?! I'm still sitting here in complete astonishment... :nono:

Just had another one drop for me, the Stone Golem boss at Orcish Byway dropped a Loki's Slicer for my level 33 Dyrad. Was my first time even getting a unique out of the Stone Golem, this time he dropped the legendary and a unique set armor piece all at once. I guess the maxed EP is doing its job.

Gratz rhs! I only once had a legendary drop that was from a non boss, and as you had mentionned in your second to last post, was on Dryad Island as well!

 

Not a fun place to hang out in, getting snared and then tik tok'd to death is especially harrowing in Hard Core

 

:oooo:
