What's going on sailors and welcome back to
the party, this time we're going into the
deep hole of endgame progression.
Topic for today, How to farm the legendaries.
One thing to note right away, is that there
are multiple ways to obtain them.
And today we're going to focus on breaking
it down.
So, you've finally reached level 50 or 60
and decided you want to be on your way to
earning a legendary weapon.
Currently there hasn't been any implementation
of legendary armor but that has been highly
requested alongside possible PVP armor, with
an honor system.
So the first way you'll go about getting
a legendary is through the questline.
It's a simplistic method that guarantees that
you'll be able to get one if you complete
it.
Only problem with is it takes forever and
was honestly was the absolute worst part of
the game for me.
That was a quest I felt was going to end about
4 or 5 stages before it really did.
But the
questline starts out in Eastburn.
This outpost is located in greatcleave and
you should be able to accept it around the
40 to 50 range.
Go ahead and grab the green quest from this
location along with all the others just to
be safe.
This questline will take you from the bottom
of greatcleave all the way up to the outpost
of mountainrise.
Then once you complete
the pre-requestietes you'll unlock the NPCs
that give the questline along with a new entry
in your Journal documents that shows the legendary
weapons and the NPCs that give them.
This method let's you choose specifically
which one you want to go for, so if you're
a hatchet user like a lot of people are currently,
you
can choose that or decide to go for a warhammer.
Once you've spoken with the NPC, this questline
will take you all over the place, this is
when the real - quote unquote, fun begins.
You'll take quests that have you take out
like 50 mobs at a time, gather from chests
of course, then you'll go to places like mangled
heights
where Mr. Zinke The Obstructor lives.
And even over to places like Edengrove to
fight Baines, now the second method to getting
a legendary weapon is through the corrupted
breach train we talked about a few times.
You could grab about 10-15 random players
or guildies, and start running through all
the level 45 corrupted breaches in great cleave
for instance,
to have a chance of getting t4 legendaries
from the corrupted caches.
You could do this pretty easily with a group
of level 30-35+ people.
But we'll want to skip this one.
What we're after, is the T5 Corrupted Breaches,
aka level 65 in Shattered Mountain.
These are the big boys.
Now the thing to keep in mind here, is that
even though getting legendaries through this
method is RNG, there are still ways to boost
your chances, which is why I prefer this method
any day of the week over questing, because
it's also way more fun!
For example, if you guys remember, when I
had gone over the different professions previously,
you might've caught
that I mentioned furnishing, would be an extremely
lucrative profession.
Now the gear you want that has the perk to
give you a higher chance at legendaries is
the Luck perk.
Just the regular one, so not the mining, lumberjacking,
or skinning.
You'll find this perk on not just armor, but
weapons too.
And it's important to wear all 3 weapons that
have luck on them, because the bonus should
stack.
Pro tip is that if you gems socketed in your
gear, even if you don't have them held in
your hand, as long as they are equipped on
your back, you'll still get the attribute
bonuses.
Now guess what furniture makers are also able
to craft, besides those cool decorations.
It'sss the Trophies!
And which one do we really really
want to get in our house?
Global Luck!
You'll always want to make sure you get the
higher tier luck perks on your gear, but having
this boy too is what's going to really help
you midmax on getting legendaries.
Just look at this, I stacked up over about
40-50 corrupted caches the other day, I went
back to my bank and
equipped all my luck gear.
And then boom, right out the boxes I get 2
LEGENDARIES. and not just any, the shieldss!
Although I would've totally preferred the
legendary sword known as isabella's chosen.
We'll get it one day!
But that just shows you how efficient this
method can actually be.
Wont happen all the time, but it'll happen.
This
is also a really good way to farm not just
gear and money, but both faction tokens and
azoth that you can use for fast travel or
buying faction gear.
Which keep in mind, you really want to gun
for getting a full set of T5 faction gear
because of the bonuses it gives you, they
should also automatically come equipped with
a t5
gem.
You can't go wrong with this, and the perks
give you defense against exactly what you're
fighting.
In regards to the breaches, you can actually
run these with a group of about 5-10 level
50s.
It's also a pretty good way to level after
50 if the other methods are occupied.
It's important to make sure you bring corrupted
tinctures that are crafted at campfires to
defend against the corruption debuff.
Also don't forget that you can stack food
buffs, I've talked about this periodically
from time to time, but if you eat a health
recovery food like the meager meal.
But you also ate a crafting based meal like
the cooked wild berries, you would get both
buffs that will stack their health recovery.
And then,
if you got a third one there that is a warding
food, like the honey glazed steak or fried
egg, you get a third buff, that'll stack your
recovery by a crap ton.
This is a method to use not only in PVE situations,
but PVP as well.
While doing the corrupted breaches, potions
also help a ton as well.
Don't forget to grab those.
It's also possible to do these if you've got
a group of like 20+ level 40s . You don't
all have to be at level 50 to do them.
You might also be
able to get legendaries from the caches you
get for participating in Invasions, as well
as from the bosses themselves, but the loot
tables on those are still pretty shotty so
it'd probably take you a while or a whole
lot of luck.
Speaking of luck though, make sure you wear
your luck gear before you open the caches.
And with that folks, those are the best ways
of grinding legendaries aside from getting
super lucky in the open world.
Hopefully this helps you with mid-maxing the
way you obtain them.
Thanks so much for watching, have a wonderful
night or day, and farewell.
