[CC] LI faq sept-21

A rudimentary FAQ about the new LI system. While plenty is still unclear or not definitive below are some questions that get asked often.

The most important part is that the new system won’t come online it’s entirety at the same time. Neither will the old system go away on day 1.

What is the new LI system and how does it work?

Instead of the version 1 (level 50 to 100) and version 2 (imbuement) we’ll now get a combination of both. You will use 1 weapon that you can upgrade to the nearest “expansion”. The brunt of the work will remain with you. You just have to visit a Reforger.

The system itself is a giant lego set. Every weapon has different sockets in which you put legacies, relics and other new items.

What about my current LI?

Whatever LI you’re using currently will remain to exist when LI3 goes live. Nothing will vanish that currently exists. However some legacies may be nerfed/upgraded according to LI3 standards.

However, eventually LI3 will become better than your current one. LI1 and 2 won’t get any more increments.

Can I deconstruct/turn in my old LI/materials for new?

Not on launch day. On day 1 the new system will become active. Reforging will become unavailable for LI1/2. But the trade-in/compensation won’t be ready yet. “Valuable resources” will get a barter option. What does this mean? Crystal, scrolls probably. Random tier 1 relic not.

Do I need to grind day 1 to be able to do any grouping?

No, if you’re reasonably up to date with your LI. You will firstly have to build a new LI that may or may not be better than your current one. In a few months with gundabad probably. How fast and how quick a better then current LI will be in your possession is unclear. With limited testing the new legacies drop in quite abundant quantity, but upgrades a bit less.

When will LI3 become active?

The first phase will come with U30.3. This will include the new system and (most) quest/instance rewards active. You can start to build your new LI in time for gundabad or moria. What won’t be included is the conversion of current materials or a full overhaul of new/outdated legacies.

Currently this release date is expected to hit the first week of october.
