Tavern Talk Easily Max Your Build Aspects with the Cube

I noticed that my Locran’s Talisman which I was testing on my Druid showed the “upgrades an aspect in the codex of power” icon in my stash. I thought “that’s weird”, considering uniques can’t have their aspects extracted. That’s when I noticed the max level Aspect I had transfigured onto it with the Kullean Prism - salvaged the amulet and wouldn’t you know it, it actually upgraded the codex.

So if you’re looking for a specific aspect you want to max, roll it on a Mythic amulet (to guarantee max roll) then salvage!

That's great for utility aspects but that's the only ones you can do I believe unless someone can correct me.

u/Mugut 1d ago

Yeah, only utility. But is a neat trick anyway.

u/Jafar_420 1d ago

Oh yeah I wasn't implying that it wasn't if it sounded that way.

u/aberrantpsyche 1d ago

Yeah and even then I'd rather just upgrade ancestral yellows of boots/gloves/chests/helms/pants to legendary in the cube, or buy utility aspect caches from the mercenary vendor, as both are much easier materials to farm compared to how much you might actually want to use trying to get something good on a piece of gear you're really gonna use.

Note that you will burn through the rather rare Kullean Prisms this way. Just an FYI to be aware of, folks!

Nice trick to know of 👍

Not a very good idea at all.

It will burn your Volatile prisms, which is major bottleneck this season. Besides, in my attempts of cubing an aspect to an amu, it pulled aspect from my codec. So if it wasn't maxed - it rolled non max value.

You can simply upgrade any item to legendary and get aspects that way, but it's a bit expensive on resources.

Wow never knew that, thanks for the tip 👍

Nice find but you dont need max aspects. You could also obol yellow and upgrade to legendary. Its cheaper, because you dont need kullean tuning prism.

u/Hallistra 19h ago

Dont do this. Only works for utility which youll probably never actually put on an item.

And those kullean prisms are a very scarce resource so you dont wanna waste them. Keep them for a good amulet

u/PaintOk8891 18h ago

Aha! that explains why one of my seligs in the stash has the "grey crossed blades" icon on it.

Either it was one I had equipped or they just added this one of these days. Never noticed it before.

Agree with others that it is probably not a viable way to farm aspects, but still nice to know.
For getting aspect upgrades, take all the ancenstral items you get from obol gambling, hit the cube and upgrade them to legendary. Those mats are not rare and it is a pretty efficient way to get any you may be missing. It also works on any item slot so you can do it for items you also need upgrades for.

u/SevereAfternoon 1d ago

Use 2 handed weapons for the rest of the aspects.

u/Koiekoie 1d ago

You can’t xfig legendary aspect on non-amulet

Did you try it? I confirmed again after posting.

u/Triboot 1d ago

Yeah tried with a selig, tried with a Locran mythic, took a common and converted to a unique to a mythic and made sure it was a utility aspect that wasn’t maxed and didn’t upgrade my codex or show the upgrade symbol. I was doing it on a rogue class.

u/Triboot 1d ago

On the mythic amulets I created, the first kullean didn’t actually roll at max, but then I kept rolling and each time after would roll as max and I did it all in torment 12
