thelee 1,837 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Taudis 34 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) 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!

bugarup 828 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 What's Kraken Eye Used For? For making you feel guilty about stealing it from that barkeep, of course. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
asnjas 112 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Would have been funny if obs also added a recipe to make +3 might food or something requiring a kraken eye, rice and water. Edited April 4, 2019 by asnjas Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kovil 3 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bringingyouthefuture 291 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited April 4, 2019 by bringingyouthefuture Quote “How do you 'accidentally' kill a nobleman in his own mansion?" "With a knife in the chest.

bringingyouthefuture 291 Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 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 Quote “How do you 'accidentally' kill a nobleman in his own mansion?"

Kovil 3 Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 (edited) Yeah,one of the most impressive questlines in the game imo! White March 2 and Lair of the Eyeless Edited April 4, 2019 by Kovil 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fced 38 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) 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...

Boeroer 14,758 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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. 1 Quote Deadfire Community Patch: Nexus Mods Link to post Share on other sites
xzar_monty 603 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fced 38 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) 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. Edited March 23 by fced Quote Pillars of Eternity PS4 - RPG fan - Native language French, so please forgive my poor English speaking ...

xzar_monty 603 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not entirely sure if it's a bug or a feature, but either way it's strange. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
