EVOLVING & PROGRESIVE ITEMS

...and how to get them!

At the start it may leave you unmoved... but as use it and it gets improved!. -- Bonzz

Evolving items were introduced with the Depths of Darkhollow (2005) expansion and have, in one form another, generally continued to present day.

These items actually get better by way of equipping them and killing MoB's, pursuing quests, completing achievements and / or similar. This is why they are referred to as Progressive and / or Evolving items!

Some are even intelligent / sentient items... that talk (or more accurately, emote... aka 'item speech')! Because of these emotes, the items, while they may not be overly desirable as gear (even at the required levels), they are fun. However, some emotes are actual emotes, rather than item speech.

The item emotes are on the humorous side. These emotes are basically situationally triggered ... such as by zoning; active combat; casting spells; getting hit by a MoB; aggro of a MoB; un-equipping the item; heals; your death; equipping the item; when the item evolves; looting or before looting the item (when it drops); critical damage; and more.

Originally, Evolving Items were given their own tab in your Character Inventory window. That window allowed you to see your equipped evolving items, their progress... and you could even make them active or inactive (gain experience or not). Game improvements have since made this tab redundant and it was removed in the February 2019 patch. You can see the progression of the item by hovering over the item (pop up) and there are now always active, unless you unequip them.

Evolving items also, originally anyway, had a 'warm up' or 'wake up' period where they would not gain experience until you had them continuously equipped for a minimum period of time, or maybe a minimum number of kills. Reportedly, if you removed and then re-equipped them, the 'wake up' period started over again. However, this is no longer the case these days... at least not with the more recent evolving items.

Evolving items do not actually gain experience based on normal experience from kills. Instead, they gain experience based on a Kill Count and the 'Con Level' of MoB's (Dark Blue, White, Yellow or Red Cons). Very generically speaking... if a Dark Blue Con kill is +.05 Item Experience, then a White Con kill might be +1 Item experience... and so on. The amount of kills needed for each Level, normally, increases each time.

Tradable evolving items retain their experience & level, even if they are traded to other Players.

Below is a list of these items, how to get them and how to evolve them!

!!! WARNING !!! If you have an item that can have variant types, as it goes up in Level, beware! Because some Progressive / Evolving items can become Class or Archetype; and due  that everything you have, as well as Achievements, are shared among all of your Persona's... there exists the possibility that you can claim the next version of a Progressive / Evolving item on the wrong Persona. Thus, making it unusable by the Persona you intended it for! For example... lets say you have your Subdued Collar of Legacies Lost progressed to the Fine Subdued Collar of Legacies Lost. Once you have the required Achievements... clicking the 'claim' button in the item window on an alternate Persona, rather than your main Persona... will give you a reward window for the next version of the Collar that is specific to the class / archetype of the Persona that claimed it! Because this series of progressed neck items share a Lore Group ('Lore Group: Collars of Legacies Lost'), you will not be able tom possess two (2) of them (at any Level of Progression)!

TRANSFERRING EVOLVING ITEM EXPERIENCE

In Corathus Creep (/waypoint -430, 320) you will find Switch Billingsley standing by a device known as a 'Transmogrifer.' The Transmogrifer will allow you to transfer experience from one evolving item to another. This works for most, if not all evolving items. Just pull (click) the Lever by Switch Billingsley and a window will pop up. Place the item you want to transfer experience from in the 'Source' window; then place the item you want to transfer experience to in the 'Destination Item' window; and then click the 'Transfer' button to initiate the transfer.

!!! FAIR WARNING !!! Evolving Items do not necessarily gain experience at the same rates, thus the amount of 'experience' needed to advance various evolving items is not equitable (50% Item XP in one Item, may only equate to 20% XP for another item). Even more, 100% of the experience doe NOT get transferred, due 'compatibility' (cited in a percentage) or , '...a lot of energy loss to friction...' according to Switch Billingsley. As a result, you may likely be disappointed in the results.

  • 'Well, I understand now that despite all of your efforts to prove otherwise, I seem to be pretty near invulnerable. If you have failed to get me destroyed so far, I suppose I might last forever. I don't think you can scare me anymore.'
  • 'Where are we now? I can't see too well locked inside all this metal you know.'
  • 'Why do they hate you so? Perhaps you could be nicer to them and they wouldn't try to kill you all the time.'
