Quest rewards and other mechanisms may sometimes reward IXP as well * Legacies These are class-specific modifiers on Legendary Items that can have their bonuses advanced * Legend Points These are earned by leveling up Legendary Items, and can be used to advance Legacies. * Titles Titles can be earned through performing certain quests, and are applied to Legendary Items. These change the weapons damage types, provide slayer bonuses, and other modifiers. * Forge-master An NPC that can help you Identify and Re-forge your Legendary Items. * Identification At Forge-master NPCs, you can have your Legendary Items identified. This will reveal the legacies on the item. * Re-forging At Forge-master NPCs, you can re-forge a Legendary Item every 10 levels. The re-forging process provides multiple benefits. * Relic-master At Relic-master NPCs, you can deconstruct Legendary Items or Combine simple Relics into more advanced Relics. * Deconstruction At Relic-master NPCs, you can deconstruct Legendary Items. The deconstruction process generates Relics, Heritage-runes, and Legendary Shards. * Relics These are items with set bonuses that can be slotted into Legendary Items. There are three types: Settings, Gems, and Runes. * Heritage Runes When you deconstruct a Legendary Item that has been leveled it can produce Heritage Runes which allow you to transfer some of the Items IXP to another Legendary Item. * Legendary Shards Legendary Shards can be used by crafters to create new Legendary Items. Like normal Legendary Items, they must be identified at a Forge-master to reveal their Legacies.

Lulz on the legacy, "ultra-crit", maybe you're referring to Devastating hit?(http://lotroimages.akamai.lotro.com/media/article_images/feature_articles/Forging_LI/fli_screenshot_4.jpg) Fake edit: It even says "ulta", hihihihihi. :why_so_serious: (Hell, it became a real edit.)

Damn, I wanted to try this game... I'll be damned if I'm going to add more grind by leveling items. Been there, done that.

I'll be damned if I'm going to add more grind by leveling items. Been there, done that. Its not just leveling items, is leveling and basically creating items with the stats you want. I would recommend reading the two articles, before writing it off.

I would recommend reading the two articles, before writing it off. I also realized (after my knee jerk reaction) that the whole point fo the game is pve. Another grind isn't such a big deal. I'll read the articles before I react again. You're right. Title: Re: Game systems porn of the week (Legendaries) Post by: Mrbloodworth on October 28, 2008, 10:45:47 AM No worries. Ther is, also PvP in this game, but its a unique form. I dig it. Playing a monster is cool. lol.
