Blue items basically worthless?

you can sell or salvage for mats. Maybe let us upgrade them to rare and it adds random affixes?

What’s a blue item? Lol

My inventory is filled with yellow and gold items and I’m only level 20. But seriously, they need to severely decrease the drop rate in this game, or like you said blue items are literally just worthless screen clutter.

Yes blues are worthless, I wouldn’t even bother picking them up for salvage haha I was getting rares very easily and a legendary every 10 minutes. I wonder if they upped the drop rates for beta?

They already spoke on this.

yea it wont be like that during release. I heard it was boosted 300%. idk how accurate that statement was but I wouldn’t doubt it.

The drop rate for legendaries has been increased by like 300% for the beta. It’s not going to be like this in the actual game. They did this so people could experiment with a lot of builds because we’re gonna be capped pretty low.

Edit: Oops! Wrong person.

You’re replying to the wrong person.

While I don’t think the same rate would be good as the beta for the release, I also don’t want the drops to be extremely rare. There should be a balance where it feels good to get one but it actually happens.

If a magic item has +1 to a skill you are using hold onto it imo.

10

I found rares with +2 to a skill

Sorry about that! It’s late… looks like it’s time for bed. Have a good night!

Well then change it to that or keep the blue and the rare I guess. But imo it’s worth it for sure to stack them if possible in various circumstances.

I mean yea if its better then your current one. I’m just saying the blue is basically worthless because you can find a rare with same stuff. If you could take that blue with +1 and roll it to a rare and potentially get +2 i would certainly hold onto it

On twitter and in the interview before last weekend, dev already said that drop rate was increased 3x for the beta

The only well known arpg where blue is worth something is d2. It’s not industry standard, the standard is that blue is worthless past level 10.
