Instead, you choose a category and the items you buy will have randomly rolled legendary effects.

Understanding Legendary Gear and Scrip

Legendary Exchange Machines

You obtain Legendary Scrip by trading in unwanted legendary weapons and armor at Legendary Exchange Machines. These machines are conveniently located at all train stations across Appalachia, the interior of the Rusty Pick, at Whitespring Resort, and at the trading post in the center of Nuka-World on Tour.

How to Get Legendary Items

Legendary items are obtained in multiple ways. They can be:

• Looted from legendary enemies: When fighting enemies, those with a star next to their name are “legendary” and will drop a legendary item. This is the most common method of obtaining legendaries.
• Rewards from events, quests, Daily Ops, and expeditions: These activities often reward legendary items. This is a key way of obtaining legendaries by completing tasks.
• Purchased from Purveyor Murmrgh: The main way in which this article is focused on, where you will be spending your hard earned legendary scrip.
• Crafted with legendary modules and legendary cores: Another way of obtaining legendaries is by rolling them onto gear that you craft yourself, or ones that you already own.

Legendary Effects

Legendary effects are special modifiers on weapons and armor that can significantly impact combat and character stats. These effects are randomly determined when an item is obtained from any of the sources above. There are different tiers of effects denoted by one, two, or three stars, each adding more modifications to the piece of gear.

What to Do with Unwanted Legendary Items

When you receive legendary items you don’t want or need, you should convert them into Legendary Scrip at the Legendary Exchange Machines. You may want to drop them in blue suitcases at Whitespring or Watoga stations, or the red chest near the crafting/stash benches at Nuka-World on Tour for other players, especially the lower star items that are not worth that much scrip.
