Legendarium Reveal
Today we are revealing the ‘Legendarium’. A new way to utilize more Legendary affixes found on the Frontier. While this feature is not yet available in-game, it will become available over the next couple of updates.
This feature will allow players to use the special bonuses found on Legendary items without actually needing to equip them. Additionally, it provides a handy list of all the Legendary items you have collected on the account and makes low-level Legendary item drops feel more meaningful than they currently are, as you can utilize their buffs independently of item stats.
“The ‘Legendary Item Rework’ update, where Legendary items all gained special unique bonuses, generated a lot of positive reactions and excitement from our alpha players,” game designer Michael May explains, “however, many have also noted that some of that level of customization and build identity should also exist on the character, not just in their item choices.” Acting on this feedback, the team decided to further expand on the Legendary system and allow for more creative options and customization and came up with the Legendarium.
This new feature is a way to increase the amount of build variety that is available without having to hoard different equipment sets or start a new character.
(Disenchant Legendaries to gain access to additional skills in the Legendarium)
Currently, there are three slots to the Legendarium that are unlocked at levels 3, 20, and 40. In order to add to the library of Legendary affixes in your Legendarium, you must disenchant the Legendary items first. This will turn outgrown Legendaries into a resource for more build variety, instead of something players can only hoard or sell.
“Since there are Legendaries that focus on different aspects of the game, this opens up very specialized targeted builds, such as summoning an army of minions when you use your Relic, enhancing your Pet to be a nigh-invulnerable mobile tank, or augmenting your Basic attack with a ton of extra effects.” Michael continues, “The options are already incredibly diverse, and as we add more and more Legendary items to the game, it will automatically add more versatility and potential to the Legendarium.”
Once an affix in your Legendarium is unlocked on your character, it will be unlocked for the whole account, meaning all of your characters will now have access to it. This applies to any and all available Legendarium affixes. And while you do need to visit the Enchanting table to first unlock a particular skill, once you have it, you will be able to swap out your Legendarium skills anytime within the skills menu.
(Equip Legendarium Skills at any time through the Skills menu.)
In order to jump-start you into customizing your build right away, even a fresh account, who has never acquired a Legendary item before or have even built an Enchanting Altar yet, will have access to five ‘starter’ Legendarium entries to pick from (as soon as they reach level 3):
With more reason to collect Legendaries and with over 100 available Legendarium options, we hope this will bring more builds and customization to the characters of Torchlight III.
We have more feature announcements and updates coming soon so check back often! Thank you for submitting all of your bugs and feedback to https://tl3feedback.echtragames.com and see you on the frontier soon.
