Depending on when you first played, I think high-level enchants got more expensive. So it might be that you used to have been able to upgrade with just 1 Kraken's Eye, but now you need 2.

I've played as soon as the game came out.Are Kraken Eyes still used to upgrade gear?

Its just soo weird.None of my weapons seem to have it as a requirement for upgrade,is my game bugged or something? =\

Two eyes upgrade armor/shields/one handed to Superb (you need four eyes for two-handers). Nice for armor, since it lets you save on the fairly rare Adra Ban.

 

They replace the normal Superb upgrade, allowing you to save money/ingredients.

Ohh so you can upgrade either with Kraken Eye or with money\gems,so eye is just the alternative and not the nessesary component?Now it makes sense!

Exactly.

For making you feel guilty about stealing it from that barkeep, of course.

Would have been funny if obs also added a recipe to make +3 might food or something requiring a kraken eye, rice and water.

It works, too. I can steal it, but not without a tinge of guilt.

[Kovil]

Okay...Maybe im dumb or something but how do I use the Kraken's Eye to upgrade my gear?No such option is available for me.

[bringingyouthefuture]

I think you need to have at least 2 of them
 
Edit:  Not sure though but without 2 I think the option is not there and how many are there is the real question!!

I have heard there are 4 of them

[bringingyouthefuture]

Its a left over from POE1 - in that game you used it to upgrade your armor or weapon, can't remember which one, but yeah

[Kovil]

Yeah,one of the most impressive questlines in the game imo!

The eye is used to remind the barkeep in port Maje about the proudest day in his life. He gets so sad if it's lost...

So cruel!

It is very expensive, for a team of 5 characters, each one with distant and melee weapon + backup weapon with different damage type...

Edit : I loaded my 1st NG save, and kraken eye was to upgrade a weapon to Superb (3 paths : 1x Sea dragon scale or 2x Kraken eyes or 1 peridot + 1 Ta Ondra Tara + 1 pyrite + 30000) for a dual hand weapon, 15000 for a single hand weapon, and for legendary 60000 DHW/30000 SHW... 
Arf i wanted to upgrade all my favorite weapons to legendary, not sure it will be possible...

Who said you are supposed to enchant every weapon/armor to the max? Most of the time you will have to make a choice. You can also use Soulbound items which upgrae themselves. Or summoned weapon - or fists. That gives you more room.

[xzar_monty]

I have only ever enchanted exactly ONE weapon/armor to the max. (Some of them of course start at legendary, so there's maybe only two things to do.)

So @fced, I'm fairly certain it is not possible to upgrade all your favorite weapons to legendary, unless of course your selection of favorites is very very small. My sense is that the game is designed that way, i.e. you have to make considered choices. I think that's a good thing.

Problem on PS4 is if an enemy is immune to piercing (death guard) and you use a bow (pierce/slash), the game still try to use pierce. I don't know if it is the same on PC, but i can't count the number of times i saw 0.0 piercing damage on a squeleton when using a bow...
For this reason, i keep crush weapons as backup...

It look like if the devs forgot to implement the "immune to xtype of damage" as a variable, if the enemy is 90% resistant to pierce, the bow switch to slash damage, but if completely immune to piercing it continue to attack with piercing.

I feel dual weapon damage are broken on PS4.

I'm not sure what the definitions are (in terms of percentages and slash/pierce, and so on), but in my view it's only good that skeletons are 100% immune to bows, for rather obvious reasons. Keeping crush weapons as backup is highly recommended, and I do it, too.

There's bugs like this on PC as well. Such as enemies immune to corrode damage take 0 damage from a bleak walker flames of devotion. Or enemies immune to shock damage take 0 damage from Lord Darynn's Voulge. Your bug I have not seen before, but I am not surprised.

Yes, I noticed this one, too. I'm not entirely sure if it's a bug or a feature, but either way it's strange.
