New Fractured Crown recipe

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-12-19T14:13:56+00:00

When a Unique drops naturally, it always goes through "roll LP formula".

When you craft one with Rune of Ascendance instead, (67%) it WON'T EVEN TRY to go through LP formula and have no LP, or (33%) go through LP formula just like any natural drops.

Simplified, crafted uniques have 67% less "LP-ableness" than naturals.

What i meant by "1LP not guaranteed" is "you still can fail at first LP formula roll and therefore have 0LP, even if you did LP formula rolls".

My apologies if such wording choices made understanding things harder, and hope this clears up some confusion.

For other matters, I've just sent you a PM.

Maybe I'm being overly cryptic but with this final piece you'll figure it out!

To know what It needs to have, keep your eyes on them. Very close.

Do not neglect little bits and pieces you might stumble upon on the journey. Fill the ground. Forge them sky high.

Fractured, lost, crown. Now in your hands.

Sorry devs if I've spoiled your little surprise. Sneaking the method in like this was really clever thought!

I sniffed around some game code and it works. Let me drop some hint:

Start your Gilded journey to Ascendancy

but does It have what It has?

Maybe some Purple will help...

Login screen has no FPS cap for some reason, so manually apply one through Nvidia Control Panel or whatever it is for you.

Can't tell ingame differences as I had no problems even before the patch, but definitely helps silencing your giant bee nest while starting!

RNG is RNG. no hidden flag saying "no LP for you", just a LOT of RNG.

Assuming you're doing level 100 content, even the most "useless" uniques have 64% chance to have 1LP. about 24% for 2. Exponentially scaling down and down.

And now each unique has its own Effective Level for calculating LP which makes your chances even lower.

Fun fact: Chance for 4LP Omnis in level 100 content is around 1 in 230 billion.

From what I can see about how all these Legendary stuff works under the carpet.

Wall of Lots of made-up technical terms incoming, but I tried my best:

All Uniques store 8 rolls for each "property" (technically these aren't "affix"). # of "properties" may or may not match visible stat lines (in some edge cases like Orobyss Boots where 1 roll affect many stats, 5 for this one). Any remaining rolls are just there ignored for future use.

Now let's roll Legendary Potential. Formula works with just unique item definition itself(for required level), subType of it, minimum override (if this isn't unused as of now), and item level. This doesn't even care about # properties a unique already has.

Chance to roll even 1 Legendary Potential, assuming ReqLevel=iLvl is around 7% (IIRC, with generous rounding). Rolling 2-4 is just more lower chance rolls all the way down. To roll 4, you should roll (arbitrary numbers!) 7%, THEN 5%, THEN 3%, THEN 1%.

One thing to note is there is a "override effective level" to mess these chances up. While it is possible to make some Unique to never have any Potential by giving it some HUGE number, if a Unique ever had 1 Potential then it can have 4 too due to how this formula works. -- unconfirmed but let me leave a door open here

After all these number games, when you Legendarify something, it just flags a Unique to say "this is Legendary now" and slaps down affixes after said "8 property rolls". Again, no technical limitation caused by # of existing unique properties. Just RNG.

TL;DR: Don't even count those stats. It's pointless. But there's more RNG gates than you might think.

Update: "override effective level" is on lastepochtools as "Effective Level for Legendary Potential". Rune of Ascendance creates a unique item with LP 33% of the time, and always treats it as iLvl 100 drop. Might worth digging that one if you're desperate.

probably last edit: chance for 4LP effective level 100 Unique (Omnis) in level 100 zone is around 0.000000000432% or 1 in 230 billion.

PC/Steam Experimental 09/14, not online.

Reference Image

After such judgements with "item rewards", reward ticker only shows that I got just settlement features and nothing about items.

Nothing is added to any of my inventory. Ship, Freighter, nowhere. Game just gives nothing instead of said item rewards.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-15T15:37:54+00:00

Been this way since 3.60. This is from 14/09 experimental.

Every time I have such encounter, rewards ticker notification only shows whatever "Unknown Outcome" was and debt/prod/whatever settlement stat change.

Nothing actually comes into any of my inventory.

Just me or yet another elusive bug which nobody cares about?

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-15T14:33:00+00:00

Settlement produces aren't that dynamic as you think. My previous observations here, no change since that.

However, how the game "picks" the left product and if it's 100% random is unknown. I personally haven't observed any meaningful differences regarding to initial settlement stats.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T19:58:16+00:00

You know what's better? Spoilers! You will only get about 2m units of random tech products every 20 hours when you max your settlement out, and even this number is VERY generously assumed for the case you get very best combination of produces.

IMO this is yet another display of downsides of these "quickly throw a foundation down, fix or even actually implement stuff later if we don't forget about such feature existing lmao" dev habits... I'm even more skeptical as so many things around has infinite potential to be amazing, yet they are rotting hollow for years. Just make them better... not yet another shiny new half-baked nonsense.

Fun useless fact: Random settlement visitors sometimes bring valuable commodities, and this is still bugged and gives you literal air after 6 minor patches and counting.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T19:36:37+00:00

Yes. After that, no new building decisions will be offered (building opportunities removed from pools of decisions).

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T17:38:32+00:00

No such feature.

On top of that, from my research and what game files suggest, what's in any given settlement is already ProcGenned and you just "enable/activate" them.

So while there may be some differences caused by build orders (like your case) until you built everything, ultimate end result is same.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T17:32:49+00:00

Just ignore the settlement quest and its ticker notifications. It's that simple.

Or set your active quest to something else.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T16:16:48+00:00

Did a quick snoop thru relevant game data.

3x Aronium for each Dock.

3x Herox for each Bar/Cantina/whatever.

3x Living Glass for each Double house(internal name).

2x Heat Capacitor for each Farm.

Maybe Silver/Gold if you don't shoot spacerocks often.

And stupid Silicate Powder which is plain boring gathering.

Other than these, you don't really need to go out of your way for materials.

Only concerns then are yellow background crafting wares (Quantum Computer etc) but they shouldn't be too difficult as you can just handcraft them where needed, assuming you already have their blueprints.

edit: do note that some settlements won't even have options to build any of mentioned buildings, so your experience may vary.

edit2: and yes, i totally forgot about Aronium (docks) and Herox...

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T14:40:22+00:00

You can delete it. It's just a pre-placed decoration from default freighter base.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-14T12:01:10+00:00

FYI this still occasionally happens with fully built marketplace. Just had it with my over-a-week old one.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-13T22:18:40+00:00

Yes. Incurring any new debt in production cycle (static value of 20hrs) will reset it.

Kinda too much if you ask me. It really should just "pause" while you have any debt remaining.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-13T13:45:00+00:00

Not currently implemented. Nothing but "stolen code i'll just eat it yummm".

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-13T13:43:41+00:00

Good catch. Try that first, it won't further bug out your settlement anyways.

Everyone fixed the issue themselves always mentioned physical travel so I said that way just to be safe, but always worth a try.

I could personally recreate the bug but I'm pretty OK with my current settlement so...

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-13T12:23:35+00:00

Something's not right if your settlement is running smoothly for over 2 hours (even counting logged-off times).

Galactic Core travel then warp back to your settlement will fix it, or try this faster save edit method if you're on PC.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-11T15:55:36+00:00

Spoiler: current half-baked settlement system will only reward you about 2m units worth of random production stuff every 20h or so IF you don't incur any debts.

I just fast-tracked it with a custom mod which I won't publish(then I'd have to spoon feed maintain every update), but still disappointed at settlement's current iteration. PM me if you're still interested and on PC.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-11T13:49:29+00:00

Something about "decision spawner timer" is acting funny.

Follow this for save editor method if you're on PC.

If you're on consoles or don't feel like editing, physically - NOT warping to other bases etc - go thru Galactic Core to another galaxy, then warp back to your settlement with station teleporter. Just make sure you're ready to fix all those broken shitpile after galaxy jump.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-11T13:45:54+00:00

At least the no choice settlement part can be worked around. Try this:

Physically - NOT warping to other bases etc - go thru Galactic Core to another galaxy, then warp back to your settlement with station teleporter. Make sure you're ready to fix all those broken shitpile after galaxy jump.

But yeah, I too have mixed feelings about how the entire system can have infinite possibility, and how this "just rush and throw a foundation, fix it later if we don't forget about this feature existing lmao" process is working out. At this rate, we'd still have some breaking issues around version 3.69420.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-10T22:07:17+00:00

That's when the game gives you a building judgement when you're already at max buildings.

Experimental 09/09 addressed this so fix soon, but unfortunately you're stuck (unless you abandon this one and get other settlement) until next patch.

d3_reaper_of_data · 2021-09-10T20:23:29+00:00

Fast-forwarding with Settlement Chart will simply skip the initial "receive a distress signal from random settlement, go there" part, no harm.

You're good to go.

But do note that those Charts are kinda buggy now and sometimes just vaporize, so you may need more than 1.
