Late-game players in particular often tend to just skim through the loot windows because they don’t need to pick up every piece of trash, so things that look like a regular eyepatch, or a stone club, or a dancer top, may be easily overlooked unless they have this “epic item” highlight around them.
The truncated kind? Ehh… no, sorry, that doesn’t quite work. Still, the Dad codex states “thou shalt not waste a pun, even a terrible one” and so I obey.
I’d like to know what the purple border actually means or how they determine what items get it. Some legendaries have it and others do not. Some craftable and some not
Epic craftables have a purple border to tell them apart from their regular counterparts. (Even epic armors that don’t have a regular counterpart, such as Cimmerian, have this border - maybe to tell the player that it’s crafted on the Improved Armorer’s bench.)
But some non-craftable legendaries have this purple border, too. Daggers of a Thousand Bites and Misha’s Bite come into mind.
Or the witchdoctor mask, which isnt even Legendary grade, but mid/medium quality… But it still needs a legendary armor kit (altough the wiki says hyena fur and wood)
Unrelated and not really important buuuuut they should change the library recipe of yoggite chosen mask or whatever to the mask of the witch doctor. I mean why not? At least it would be useful
