Legendary Aspects
Last Updated:October 14, 2024|Changelog
When you get a Legendary Item during gameplay, you can equip it immediately, or travel to the Blacksmith to salvage the Aspect, destroying the item in the process. Once you have an Aspect in your Codex of Power, you can imprint it onto any Rare Item or Legendary Item that you wish. If you imprint a Rare Item, it becomes a Legendary Item, and if you imprint a Legendary Item, it overwrites the existing Aspect gaining a new effect. Lastly, Legendary items are tradable as long as you have not crafted on them. Have more fun with your friends or playing the market!
Check out our Database for a list of all available aspects!
Aspect Categories
Not all Aspects can be Imprinted onto just any Rare or Legendary Item. Aspects are divided by category, and depending on its category it can be Imprinted on different slots. This forces you to think a little more deeply about your build instead of just putting every damage multiplier you can find on all your items.
- Offensive: 1H Weapon, 2H Weapon (Power increased by +100%), Gloves, Ring, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
- Defensive: Helm, Chest Armor, Pants, Shield, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
- Resource: Ring, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
- Utility: Shield, Helm, Chest Armor, Pants, Boots, Gloves, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
- Mobility: Boots, Amulet (Power increased by +50%)
Codex of Power
The Codex of Power is a library of Legendary Aspects that you can imprint at the Occultist. You can add to the Codex by completing Dungeons, acquiring Aspects from the Season Journey, and salvaging Legendary items at the Blacksmith. After salvaging your Legendary item, the associated Aspect in the Codex automatically upgrades to what you just salvaged; forever! This means you can rest assured you're never wasting a high-valued Aspect because you can re-imprint it on multiple legendaries from that point forward. The Codex of Power is considered seasonal (for Season characters only) and resets. Eternal Realm players will never experience resets.
Navigating to a Dungeon
You can track and navigate to the dungeon directly in the game! Open your Codex of Power in-game and click on the Aspect you want to track. Your map will now have a handy line that will lead you straight to the Dungeon containing the power.
Upgrading the Codex of Power
Salvaging Legendaries with higher tier Aspects will permanently and automatically upgrade that Aspect in your Codex! You will get a notification when you salvage an item at the blacksmith that gives you a Codex upgrade. It's really that simple! As of Season 6, Ancestral Legendary items have a higher maximum range on the aspect when compared to normal Legendary items. For example, Rapid has a range of 15-30% on a normal Legendary item, but on an Ancestral Legendary item the range is 15-35%.
Completing a Season Journey Chapter
Each chapter in the Season Journey offers unique rewards, including aspects that are normally only available from drops. These aspects can propel your character forward faster than the Eternal realm and are an exciting way to level up. You need to complete the objectives in the Season Journey to unlock the chapter's rewards. To see your progress, open the Season Journey by navigating to the Season Tab > Season Journey (Default bound to "u" on the keyboard).
Class Subskills
Each class has access to Subskills through Aspects and Uniques. These subskills are not ordinary skills from your skill tree, but unique abilities fitting the class fantasy. The following are examples of Subskills sorted by class:
- Barbarian - Earthquakes
- Druid - Lightning Dancer's
- Necromancer - Ultimate Shadow
- Rogue - Artful Initiative
- Sorcerer - Glacial
- Spiritborn - Infestation, Empowered Feathers
These Subskills are attempts at giving players new build archetypes not centered around skills from your skill tree, but also unique ways of problem-solving for existing builds. Need more stuns as a Rogue? Slot in a Artful Initiative. Need extra DoTs on Spiritborn? Consider Infestation! These subskills exist to create creative solutions, utilize them accordingly!
