What is the cap of arena level, sir @SteigerBox

Do legend pets come from the shop pet?

damn my new tablet was faulty and this update came out while I’m with out a device rip me the update looks fantastic though :smiley: quick question will the new dependant affixes force themselves onto previously crafted gear?

i have eternal pathfinder pet and in 2.0 i was like. :unamused: mehhh. 2.1 its wow. :heart_eyes:

Are the new affixes obtainable via Ruby? i.e. push the limit, barbarian

No. They are drop only.

i dont know if this happen to other ppl… but sometimes… after 2-3 hour grinding… DQ start to crash… it not happen before update… since i always grinding up to 4 hour per session… when i restart the DQ… it work just fine… but crash again after 2-3 hour… not that it problem… but what if there was some loot i not yet get… and boom… i crash without taking that loot… i sure cost me… but in mini prob i guess… if there was no solution… im ok with it… but if there was solution… thank a lot… :heart_eyes:

My understanding is that dependent affix can’t be removed. Is there any concern that adding these to old items will make legacy items substantially more powerful (in some cases) than new items?

Hey! Thanks for the report. Noted.

No, you have to farm them again,.

I think the issue with adding the new affixes to older legacy items is that you’d have to remove some affix to make room for it. How to choose which affix to remove? Many crafters would likely be upset.

Well you…can’t farm them, can you? For example, a Nadroji Robe with 100% ED and no dependent affix (which is useless for a dps and/or hireling build).

Benzonia, I know you can’t add them to old items. The old items, it seems, will just be permanently better than any new items by one affix (in cases where the dependent affix is undesirable).

You can use Kyanite for removing specific affixes (except Crystal, Dependent, Negative, Mythic affixes). Or what do you mean? I don’t really get your question.

There won’t be any changes for items, that has been already dropped before 2.1.
Yes, you cannot obtain them anymore.

Am I gonna have to spend money to test the pet thing? :smile:
