There appears to be a bug when using the eternity cache with exalteds that have been duped via rune of creation.
The affixes received from an exalted item duped via rune of creation on a unique with 2+ LP will always be identical to the original break if the same unique is used.
For example:
- I have 2 copies of Titan’s Heart LP2
- I have an exalted item with T7 warpath, T5 mana, T2 physical res, T2 fire resistance
- I use rune of creation to create a copy of the exalted
- I go to eternity cache and break the exalted on one of the 2 LP Titan’s heart, choosing to lock the T7 warpath.
- I receive T7 warpath and T2 physical resist
- If I use the copied exalted from the rune of creation on another 2 LP copy of Titan’s heart and lock in T7 warpath, I will receive the exact same break of T7 warpath and T2 physical resist.
A few notes:
- I repeated this 6 times on a total of 12 items. Each time, the rune of creation exalted produced the exact same break as the original exalted when using the same unique with equal LP.
- If you use a different unique, the resulting break from the rune of creation exalted will not be identical. For example, breaking a rune of creation exalted wand on a 2+LP mad alchemist laddle and a 2+LP Wrongwarp will produce different breaks
- Logging in/out between Sanctum does not change the results of the duplicate breaks.
- I repeated this 6x and received identical affixes each time. so I’m guessing that there’s something going on here… unless I hit the same 1/3 chance 12 times in a row (1/531441 I think).
The implication of this is that you could use a poorly rolled version of the unique you need to scout a break on a well rolled version.
For example, you have a perfectly rolled 2 LP titan’s heart and an exalted chest with T7 warpath/T5 mana that you want to break onto it. You could rune of creation the exalted chest and break it onto a poorly rolled 2 LP copy of Titan’s heart. If you hit the affixes that you wanted, you can go ahead and break the exalted on the well rolled Titan’s Heart. Conversely, if you miss the break on the poorly rolled version, you can toss the exalted and prevent yourself from bricking your good version.
