1.4 Junk Gear Is Now Sometimes Green with a Trait

LonePirate · August 2014

The worthless white armor, jewelry and weapons currently found in containers has received a slight upgrade in 1.4. Occasionally, maybe 10% of the time, this junk gear will be green quality, often with a trait and worth some actual gold. It's not a massive change or even a frequent one, though. It is an improvement, though.

I actually noticed the junk gear occasionally being green level (with an accompanying resale value of more than 0 gold), right after the update that added the junk items. Perhaps they increased the odds (as it was exceedingly rare), but the chance has been there from the beginning.

I don't think I have found a single green piece of junk loot on the live server despite looting hundreds of containers since 1.3 has gone live. In less than a week of playing 1.4 on the PTS, I have found 4 of these green junk pieces. I'd say the chance of finding it has increased significantly.

This isn't new, I've found more than a couple "junk" gear has been green since it was added. I did however pickup every single piece I could find while going for the "deconstruct items" achievements, so I probably saw more of this stuff than many people have.

This is probably a bug which they'll fix soon.
