Trivia[]
- Items were first meant to be available to equip to your Companions also, however the team later changed this option because the reason is that your Companions are meant to be weaker that you are. However if you would be able to put the gear on them, their power would be unbalanced with your hero's one.
- Developers are trying to reach this sequence: On Normal you will be rewarded with common and rarely rare items. On Heroic you can slightly easily get rare and as cool sometimes epic, legendary changes would be small in here that would comes like 0.5%. On Legendary there is barely soft to get epic and legendary when possible in the change like 5% or more.
- There are three preview items that are available only when starting you journey and cannot be found any further, are common, level 1. Warrior: Sword, Mage: Willow Branch, Bounty Hunter: Rusty Pistol (2×).
