I screwed up on my Codex of Power

PC General Discussion
1

In Eternal, I am currently Paragon 128. I can rock out on T1 and struggle in T2, so I figured I’d try some Codex imprinting and Tempering to make myself stronger in T2.

After imprinting, I found a better weapon and salvaged the old one. Now I do not have the original Codex imprints back in my Codex inventory. They seem to be gone for good.

Is there any way to get them back? I was wondering if I started a new rogue, but since the Codex is shared account wide, I’m thinking they’re gone for good. Is there anything I can do to “fix” this mistake? The aspects are Agile Augments, and Cutthroat Finesse.

Any item with an aspect that you don’t have in your codex, or one that is higher level than the version in your codex, adds it to your codex when you salvage that item.

If you imprint an aspect to an item, then salvage it, the aspect you imprinted is already in your codex so it won’t do anything.

If you imprint an aspect to an item, the aspect previously on the item is gone, so if you salvage it, you don’t get anything for your codex.

Keep in mind that amulets add 50% to the blue effects of an aspect, and 2H weapons add 100%, so keep that in mind when you look at the effects.

When you are in the salvage interface at the blacksmith, if the aspect can be added or upgraded to your codex, you’ll see a gray icon.

Also some aspects will not appear in the imprinting menu if you have an item selected since not all aspects can apply to all slots, and you may or may not have a filter turned on such as class or all.

Any behavior outside of that would need a bug report.

“If you imprint an aspect to an item, the aspect previously on the item is gone, so if you salvage it, you don’t get anything for your codex.”

If the aspects originally came from salvaging legendary items is there a chance I can eventually find them again? is this up to the RNG Gods?

These are temper recipes, not aspects. You’ll find these in the codex tempering tab and the blacksmith tempering tab. Aspects are imprinted at the occultist.

Once something is in your codex, it doesn’t go away. You’re having some misunderstanding about what you had or where to find it.

You can find it, but it is RNG. What you can do to push things in your favor is look up the aspect you’re interested in and see what type it is, such as mobility, offensive, etc., and then see what item types it can roll on.

Then, target those types of items at obol vendor, helltide chest, and whisper cache.

Keep in mind that rings are bad for targeting except for resource aspects; because all or nearly all aspect types (I forget) can roll on rings. This also though makes resource aspects rarer.

There’s also a soft cap in aspect levels that non-ancestrals top out at. Any upgrade past that can only be found on ancestrals.

Uggh, so I think I posted this thread/problem incorrectly. Those are tempering recipes. No wonder I can’t find them in the Codex. Thank you for your help.
