Ashantara.8731 Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Here is the video I promised in my previous post regarding a severe bug that duplicates your legendary upgrades by not placing them properly in your Equipment Storage after you had entered the PvP lobby before.Edit: SOLVED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Stephane Lo Presti.7258 Posted October 29, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 29, 2019 We’ve seen players who own legendary gear, in particular runes and sigils, confused about how they interact with the Equipment Templates so we’d like to clarify how this works. The Equipment system only allows storage for the minimum amount of legendary runes and sigils required to cover the uses in the Equipment Templates. If you had a legendary rune in each of 12 pieces of gear and you then create 2 Equipment Templates using those 12 pieces of gear, you’ll end up with 6 legendary runes in your inventory because the system determine that this was the minimum it needs. So it looks like you duplicated the items but in reality you still only have 12 in total, 6 in your inventory and 6 shared across your Equipment Templates.

[...]My apologies, I might have figured it out now. So, you are saying that, if I use two different legendary one-handed weapons in two different equipment loadouts, I can use the same sigil on both, because the sigil is now shareable between them via the Equipment Storage?

In that case I apologize for the mayhem. This whole equipment storage thing is majorly confusing in regard of legendary gear.P.S. Now there's a way to waste almost six hours trying to figure out what went wrong... :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whole equipment storage thing is majorly confusing in regard of legendary gear.To check I didn't misunderstand you -Say you have 12 legendary runes and 2 legendary sigils, and you have 2 gear templates.Template 1 you have your gear + 6 legendary runes + Legendary 1 with 1 legendary sigilTemplate 2 you have your gear + 6 legendary runes + Legendary 2 with 1 legendary sigilIf you swap between them, you will find 6 legendary runes + 1 legendary sigil refunded to your inventory - because each set is only using 6 runes and 1 sigil and BOTH sets will use the same 6 runes and sigil.

Ashantara.8731 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Share Posted October 30, 2019 Exactly. Yes. It's a very confusing feature (at least at first) but makes sense.It also caused my game to disconnect repeatedly (when trying to switch between the two loadouts) until I unequipped everything via contect menu, then redid the equipment templates manually. What a mess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means I have to Unequip every Equipment Template (right click each template and choose "Unequip All Items"). Once I do that for every Equipment Template that uses those items on one character, I can then put them in the bank, log into another character, get them from the bank, and equip them (including the runes, sigils, and infusions, trinkets, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[...]Yes, that's even worse to handle than we knew it would be before release. :/ I don't need to swap between characters, thank the Six, but it's already a test of your mental abilities to get it to work properly and conveniently on just one character.Oh well, here's to hope that the whole thing will be tweaked and improved eventually. In the meantime, I will refrain from adding builds to most of my characters that I don't play as often (like PvP builds or secondary WvW builds with a different equipment loadout). If ANet thought it a good idea to restrict people's freedom of having multiple builds and gear loadouts (especially for owners of legendary gear), then that's on them - good job, I'm playing along.
