[2023] PTR: Upgrading 590+ Epics to Legendary?

This change was reverted before moving to PTR but we accidentally left the patch note, apologies for the confusion!

We’re also excited about the ability to upgrade epics and pick up a 3rd perk. But we need to work through some issues before we consider it for many types items.

However, we will be implementing it for a few new systems in Season 1 - gear from war, invasion, and gypsum casts will all pick up a 3rd perk if upgraded to 600. And as reminder this functionality is already in for OPR and Breach gear.

Sorry for delay, we were finalizing some changes and I was waiting on results of that. Here’s an update.

Currently in live, only weapons in OPR get a 3rd perk on upgrading to 600. Armor does not.

When S1 launches, we will add armor from OPR, so it will now get a 3rd perk as well as weapons. In addition, we will add upgrading both weapons and armor from War and Invasion with S1.

Unfortunately, we are not going to get upgrading for gypsum casts or breaches in S1. We hit some technical difficulties there. No plans yet on when or if that will happen.

Great news here @Deeward , yes we are planning some pretty big improvements to the PvP reward track. These changes in combination with cross world OPR and some other PvP suprises we have planned for S2 should make it a great PvP release.
