However, across all platforms (PC, PS4,XBONE, 360, PS3 and Switch) Wirt's leg is still a blue item, not legendary and is currently Wirtless.

Thanks for these details - we're passing along your reports to investigate and will let you know as soon as we have more info!

Just chiming in with a quick update: we investigated and discovered where the problem lies. We don't have an ETA just yet for when the fix will go out, but we know it will be a hotfix, so you won't need to patch the game again.

Also, just as a heads-up, the hotfix will likely go out at different times on console and PC. We'll provide more info again once we have the details!

Just confirming as a couple others here that the hotfix is now live on PC. I believe the fix is still being verified on some platforms, but it is in the process of rolling out to all consoles and everyone should be able to successfully complete the Wirt's Leg quest chain by this evening.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while we worked to resolve this issue!

Still blue on Nintendo Switch. Hope it's fixed soon!

Thanks


I should clarify - this is a known issue that will persist. However, salvaging the blue version of Wirt's Leg should now result in the needed material regardless of its lack of Legendary status.

Apologies for not including this information sooner!

Couple more clarifications, as the hotfix functions a little differently based on which platform you're playing on.

PC
Wirt's Leg will show as a blue quality (Magic) recipe, but the cost/materials needed to craft are correct. This is a known issue, and specific to PC. Once you craft the item, it will appear as Legendary in your inventory and salvage appropriately.

Console
Once you reach the main menu and connect to the internet, wait a few seconds before entering the game (5-10 should do it). This will ensure that the hotfix applies correctly, as if you enter the game too quickly, you may continue to see the Wirt's Leg recipe as blue (Magic) quality instead of Legendary.

In addition, the hotfix on these platforms must be applied with each new client session (i.e., every time you first start the game). In the future, this is something we will address, but for the remainder of this year’s event, this will be the case.

Once again, apologies for the confusion. Supporting multiple platforms comes with its own challenges, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. <3
