WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Legendarium interface, after obtaining a Legendary item from an available gear source.

Finding a Legendary is only part of using its value: Legendary items unlock their affixes in the Legendarium. When a drop supports a mechanic you want, make the Legendarium step part of your gear-processing routine. This is a collection and conversion task rather than an infinite drop farm: first obtain a Legendary from enemies, boss chests, Contracts, gambling, or other eligible content, then use the Legendarium to unlock its affix. The unlocked effect can inform future build choices, while the physical item may still be kept or equipped if it suits your current setup.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Have a Legendary item in inventory or otherwise available for processing.
  • Access the Legendarium interface.
  • Know whether the Legendary’s affix is relevant to your intended build.
  1. Collect a Legendary from a suitable source such as a boss reward, enemy drop, Contract reward, or gambling result.
  2. Open the Legendarium and review the available Legendary processing options.
  3. Select the acquired Legendary item for affix unlocking.
  4. Confirm the action through the in-game interface.
  5. Check the Legendarium to verify the affix has been added to your available collection.
  6. Decide whether to equip, store, or otherwise manage the original item based on its remaining value.

Farming tips

  • Inspect the affix before processing so you understand which combat mechanic you are adding to your collection.
  • Continue collecting Legendaries through your preferred activity; the Legendarium does not create the initial drop.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat for additional Legendary items and affixes; each unlock depends on obtaining the corresponding Legendary first.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming an affix is active just because the item dropped: perform the Legendarium unlock step.
  • Discarding an item before deciding whether it is needed for unlocking: process it first if the affix matters.
  • Expecting the Legendarium to guarantee a Legendary: use gear sources to obtain items for processing.

When to stop or switch

Stop processing when the affix is unlocked or the item has no relevant value to your collection; return to the farm source for more Legendary items.
