Legend Extension, or Legend Authoring, is a system in the game available only to character level 60 or higher characters. Upon reaching this level, the character can talk to Asha in the Nameless Shrine to receive a Legend Journal, which adds a new icon to the in-game HUD. Using the interface shown by the HUD, it is possible to perform a 'Legend Extension'.
Legend Extension
Performing a Legend Extension is optional. Upon doing so, the following things happen:
- Character level is reset back to 1.
- Stats, trait points, and talent points are all reset to their level 1 values, in essence reverting the character back to their level 1 state. (Note that special abilities accumulated through Legend Extension are NOT reset.)
- The character receives 2 Legend Ink, which can be used to purchase special Legend Extension abilities.
This is one of the ways to obtain Legend Ink (the other being certain laplace requests), which can be used to purchase Legend Extension abilities, which have a variety of purposes, from permanently increasing a statistic's growth, increasing a skill's effective skill level, granting bonuses versus specific enemy types, or even changing the character's race (within the confines of lore, such as becoming a Vampire or Lich, or changing to a different body model type if the character is a Mechanation.)
There is no upper limit to how many times a character can Legend Extend, nor how many Legend Extension abilities they can gain (with enough time, it is possible to gain all of them). Once you perform your first Legend Extension, you may do so again at any time, however you will only earn Legend Ink if your character level is equal to or greater than 60. To learn a Legend Extension ability, 1 Legend Ink is expended. Some abilities have multiple levels; each level costs 1 Legend Ink. Below is a list of special abilities that can be gained through Legend Extension (all abilities that do not specify their maximum level have a maximum level of 1).
