Aspect not upgraded in codex of power

I salvaged a bunch of legendary items, but existing aspects in my codex of power were not upgraded to better quality versions.

I know for sure there were a couple in the salvage which had higher versions of some aspects in my codex. I’d kept these legendary items in my stash since before the recent game update - ie they were ‘legacy’ items - as deciding whether to use the item as-is or extract the aspect in future. However when I salvaged them to harvest the aspects since latest game update, whilst any new aspects in them WERE added to my codex, it seems that any upgrades were NOT applied to any existing aspects in my codex.

Anyone else had this issue…? Feels like a bug maybe with applying codex upgrades from legacy items perhaps.?

One example was aspect of boiling blood - I’d found a very high quality (almost max) version of this in game and had the legendary item stored in my stash, but then when I salvaged it, the codex of power aspect has remained at the lower quality version I had previously extracted. So I’ve now lost that higher quality version - i.e. the codex upgrade was not applied.

I’m not sure now whether I should salvage legendary items with higher aspect ratings, or whether this is a bug needing fix and therefore I should hold on to them for now and salvage later after a bug fix.

Is it possible that any ‘legacy’ items salvaged would not be able to upgrade my codex of power? This seems odd since any newly gathered aspects from legacy items were definitely added.

Hope that makes sense!!

Anyone else found the same?

Thnx.

Yeah, I have the same issue. Codex is not updating to the better aspect. Must be a bug.

Ah, I’m not alone then!

I’ll look to see if there’s somewhere to report this bug.

Thnx

Having the same issue. I shared in your other post.

Same issue here. I’ve wasted a couple very good items this way. Now I’m just saving my legendaries with the highest level of each aspect…very frustrating.

I’m currently having an issue where I can’t change the aspect on an item. It’ll charge me the gold, but the aspect remains the same.

Thanks all - good to know I’m not alone!

Any others plz post in this other thread, under bug reports:

Hopefully it will get picked up and resolved!

D.

It was broken, the 141 patch seems to have fixed it now it’s broken again, or the tooltip and stat reporting is broken.

Thank God , not just I have issues . I hope they fix this soon

Its not fixed. I just doubled my supposed damage output for aspect of arrow storm but it has not changed from 6/10 level. I added 2 more higher aspects and it is still reading at the base damage, even at 6/10 level.

Is this bug specific to a class, or specific aspects?

I ask because I salvaged a bunch of legendary items on my season Druid yesterday and each one had the aspect upgrade symbol on the legendary item and then after salvaging I got the message that the aspects were upgraded in the codex.

This bug is still present. Very bothersome to finally find an aspect upgrade TWICE after countless hours, only to have completely wasted my time and for it not to upgrade when salvaged.

I captured the most recent occurrance of the bug in a gameplay recording here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdKjbsd6yt8

You can see the I salvage a max level 6/6 Recharging Aspect, only for the aspect in my codex to be level 4/6 after salvage. The tooltip also did not prompt or indicate that the salvage would upgrade the aspect as would be expected.

(Imprinting the aspect did not reflect the change either, nor did logging out and back in make any difference.)

@Wir

This is not a bug. You salvaged the aspect on an Amulet which boosts the aspect power by 50%, so you have to account for this. This aspect was not an upgrade.

Can you please elaborate i have an item currently that has a better aspect but it wont upgrade the aspect if i salvage since it doesnt have that label but i dont get why. Do only certain item types effect the codex aspect or what?

I think I realised part of the issue.

In the video I posted it seems the aspect tooltip doesn’t indicate the full range of possible rolls. I thought it was a max roll, but it was not. Only ancestral base items will show the full possible range.

Not sure if this explain the experiences of everyone else, but I think it explains what I see in my video.

If the aspect is found on a Two-handed weapon or Amulet, it’s power will be boosted by 100% (2-hand) and 50% (amulet) respectively, so it’ll seem like the aspect’s power is an upgrade, but it isn’t really.

Usually, it’s only an upgrade when there is a label at the bottom of the item stating that it is an upgrade.

So im running sorc,ice.
And i use the " orb explodes on contact with enemy" and its currently 15/16 level and gives me 59% chance by default when imprinted which i have it on my gloves.
So today in pit 10, i het the same aspect on an item that has 112%, so im ecstatic,and couldnt wait to salvage

So i did, fully expection my glove imprint to update to 112% wh3n salvaged.

Well it didnt, no message, no upgrade nothing, im so pissed ,as it was a great item for my build.

I posted on twitter and got the same answer as 2 handed weapon boost. But that cant be right, it was a new aspect at 112% .
So were did it go.
Im convinced its bugged,unless someone tells me diferent.
Just a note, i sadly didnt see what item it was on becUse i was so excited to salvage it and get a brilliant boost.

So can soneone tell me wtf is happening, btw im convinced this happened to me before as well.
So my simple question is, were did my 112% aspect go.?

I had the same with blood boil aspect I have 14/15 which does 14k in damage, found a necklace with 18k on it and salvaged it and my aspect never upgraded

Im still having this issue. Did anyone find a fix?

I’ve had this problem two times today with my necro, first it was fastblood aspect , now it was with the rapid aspect.

Wth is this ? Season 6 and all.
