I want to make this topics for question. If you got other question too feel free to ask on this topic.
Here is my situation :
I got enought gold to buy any ilevel for a legendary.
I already bought a ilevel 190 and a 210 and i want to get a 235
But i’ve learn that we can upgrade legendary.
MY multiple question is :
When we upgrade Legendary, does it need the legendary crafted + Soul ash + Legendary item Rank 2 ?
Is crafting directly a rank 4 legendary cost less than a rank 1 Legendary then upgrade it ?
when upgrading does i need to set again missive ?
Is buying level 4 legendary slot is useless since we can buy a level 1 and upgrade ?
I don’t understand this, mostly because why buying a rank 4 that cost more if we can upgrade a rank 1 and upgrade it easely. IF we can upgrade why rank 4 slot is harder to get ?
We wont have the soul ash to make a rank 4 for a long time. So either you can make the low one and keep upgrading it, or you can hold out to the end and cope without having a legendary.
For some of us we may be able to go straight into a rank 2 simply because our recipe is not available yet from the content. But we wont have had the rank 1 while others have theirs simply because it was impossible for us to be able to craft it.
Regardless of waiting or upgrading the cost will be the same in terms of soul ash.
The Economics of Upgrading
Since Soul Ash is gated at 1200 per week, you’re not going to waste any Soul Ash if you craft a Legendary early. Every Rank 4 Legendary will cost 5150 Soul Ash, whether it is created at Rank 4 or created at Rank 1 and upgraded.
The only additional cost for crafting a Legendary early and upgrading it later, is the Gold or material cost of obtaining the subsequent Base Crafting Item.
Upgrading your item from rank 1-4 will not cost more soul ash than buying a rank 4 outright, but you will need the higher ilvl base item. Basically it costs more reagents/gold to obtain, but not soul ash.
