Improving weapons or armor requies 20 gold alloy?

Darkestnght · May 2017

I was going to upgrade a couple of items to legendary this weekend. It turned out I needed 20 gold alloy to make one legendary weapon or armor. Is this really a new thing.

Should cost 8 temps to improve any weapon or heavy armor to gold quality. Maybe 20 temps are required if you don't have blacksmithing to 50 and appropriate passives.

Do you have any of the crafting perks that make it take less materials to improve gear?

Level your crafting, get the passives, and you need only 8.

Personally I think the only things worth golding are weapons, jewelry enchants, and Hakeijo armor enchants.

I have been a master crafter for over a year and improve items regularly and it has always been 8 required in the past. It must be a glitch asking for 20 gold alloy. I was SHOCKED to say the least. This happen on the blacksmith and clothing stations when I tried upgrading items.

It is only 8 if your crafter is maxed which I am guessing by your post is not you.
