Might be a stupid question but its very confusing for me. I have an osseous gale aspect on a weapon with a role of 14 seconds and I’m wondering if I salvage that weapon and decided to put the aspect on another equipment would it transfer the 14 seconds or would it go back to the default 7 seconds or depending on the level that it’s at. Am I better off keeping that weapon or just salvaging it.
It does say “Salvage a Legendary item with Osseous Gale Aspect of higher roll to upgrade” but I also see that its rank 5/16 and thought that maybe the rank IS the increased duration that it gives
Depends on the aspect of course. Its’ level in your codex is dependent on the value of the aspect at the time you destroyed it. So let’s say you had an aspect with a value of 1 to 16. You have an item with the value of 2 and another item with the same aspect at the value of 10. If you destroy the 10 first, you’ll permanently have that aspect at Value 10, even if you destroy the item with the value of 2 on it.
Lower value’s won’t overwrite higher values, and once it’s maxed out (level 16 for example), you’re done forever with that aspect. You can then imprint it on any item you want, even one you’ve already imprinted on before, so you can upgrade it with the new value.
You know that makes a lot of sense. I honestly thought that the rank of aspects went up by the amount of the same aspect you salvaged. Didn’t think about it that way. Anyway thanks for the quick and clear response I’m new to the diablo series so that helps a ton.

He could of just said yes u keep the 14 seconds and the conversation would have been easier
Yes to which question that I asked? I appreciate the “longer” response, it avoids confusion.
You won’t get 14 seconds. The aspect’s range is 5-10 seconds. You have it on a 2h weapon. It has 7-second value that is being doubled by the 2h weapon.
This is correct; unless of course your new weapon is also a 2h.
What goes in the Codex is the base Aspect, which is 7s.
If you put it on a 2h - you get a 100% bonus (thus 14s)
If you put it on an amulet - you get a 50% bonus (thus 10s)
Also - keep in mind that you can overwrite an Aspect on any Legendary as much as you’d like.
It’s 100% correct. If he salvages that weapon, his codex won’t get 14 seconds. The finer points of imprinting are outside the scope of salvaging.
