Mastering Starfield Legendary Equipment Hunting in 2024

Chris, the host of "Games with Grandpa," explores the value of legendary items purchased using 75 Astra in a gaming session. He evaluates each item based on personal rankings and categories, determining their worthiness for retention or sale. Despite acquiring 25 legendary items, Chris finds only a few worth keeping, notably a pistol and a suit with favorable attributes. He questions the timing of his spending, given the upcoming "Shattered Space" expansion, which may render current items obsolete. Chris concludes by encouraging viewers to return for more content and anticipates the new expansion's offerings.

• The evaluation will cover weapons, suits, and other items, with a focus on potential upgrades.

"Today we're going to spend 75 Astra that I've saved up on legendary items so we will get 25 legendary items and we're going to go over them to see if any of them are worthy of the astras that I've spent."

• Chris plans to review the items to assess if they justify the resources spent.

• Chris uses a personal ranking system to evaluate the stats of weapons and other items.
• The evaluation involves testing, watching videos, and personal gameplay experience.
• Items are categorized into "good," "okay," and "bad" based on their performance and utility.

"I have my own personal rankings on each of the individual stats on the weapons and we'll go over those together and we'll see if they're worthy."

• The host's ranking system is crucial for determining the value of each item.

• This heavy gun includes disassembler, poison, and shattering attributes.

"This is actually a space suit... Anti-ballistic is in the okay category... acrobat is actually in the good category... incendiary unfortunately is in the bad category."

• Mixed ratings lead to the decision not to keep the suit.

• Attributes include Sentinel, antiseptic, and technician.
• Sentinel is "good," but both antiseptic and technician are "bad."

"Sentinel 75% chance to reduce damage by 50% when standing still... technician is unfortunately in the bad category... Sentinel is actually in the good category."

• Despite one "good" attribute, the overall rating leads to rejection.

• Features assisted carry, fasten, and O2 filter attributes.
• Assisted carry and O2 filter are "bad," while fasten is "okay."

"We've got the assisted carry refined explosive balanced pack... assisted carry bad... fasten is probably in the okay category... O2 filter probably not a good thing."

• The combination of mostly "bad" attributes results in non-retention.

• Attributes include mirrored, lead lined, and sturdy.
• Mirrored and lead lined are "bad," while sturdy is "okay."

"Mirrored calibrated star RoR space helmet... mirrored bad... lead lines is also bad... sturdy is in the okay category."

• The helmet is not kept due to poor attribute ratings.

• None of the first five items are deemed worth keeping based on the evaluation.
• The host plans to sell these items and continue with further reviews.

"Our first batch of five we're not going to keep... I'm going to sell all these because I don't need them."

• The decision to sell indicates the importance of maintaining a high standard for item retention.

• The speaker evaluates various weapons and items based on their categories: good, okay, and bad.
• Explosive refined Rattler is categorized as bad due to its explosive nature.
• Lacerate is considered good because it applies a bleed effect, which is beneficial as a damage-over-time (DOT) effect.

• The vibrant pack includes attributes like sturdy (okay), acrobat (good), and armor plated (good), offering varied damage reduction benefits.

"Another vibrant pack and you see it's got the same okay so the difference between those two is the type of pack this one's basic and this one is power so they're basically the same."

• The differentiation between basic and power packs is noted, with similar attributes across both types.

• Advanced equipment like the mirrored Advanced deep Seeker pack is evaluated based on its resistance attributes, such as bolstering and antiseptic.
• The focus is on energy and physical resistance, as well as airborne resistance.

"The mirrored Advanced deep Seeker pack this one has bolstering GRS up to plus 100 energy resistance and physical resistance the lower your health this is a good one."

• The discussion revolves around evaluating the quality of various space suits and weapons based on their add-ons.
• Add-ons are categorized as good, okay, or bad, influencing the overall evaluation of the items.
• The narrator is attempting to identify valuable items from a selection of 25, using a personal rating system for the add-ons.

• The exercise aims to determine the randomness of acquiring valuable items and the potential for upgrades.

"We have found a good good good, that's amazing. I am saving that one."

• A significant finding is the identification of an item with all good ratings, making it a valuable acquisition.

"The additions with the 15% less damage from humans, fall damage is reduced, and then the Sentinel is cool."

• Specific add-ons offer tangible benefits, such as reduced damage from human enemies and fall damage.

• The narrator observes that new suits consistently come with the same add-ons, suggesting a lack of variability.
• This consistency implies that checking for different add-ons on similar suits may be unnecessary.

"It appears that the new suits that were added always come with the same ads."

• The lack of variability in add-ons for new suits means that duplicates are likely to have identical ratings.

"Everyone we've gotten as a duplicate matches."

• The observation that duplicates match in add-ons suggests a predictable pattern in item generation.

• The narrator reflects on the potential waste of resources (Astra) given the upcoming release of new content.
• There is uncertainty about whether the resources spent will be worthwhile in the context of future updates.

"Should I have done this? We are less than 2 weeks away from shattered space."

• There is a concern that resources used may not yield long-term benefits with impending updates.

"Hopefully I didn't just waste the Astra, you know, first week of shattered space."

• The narrator hopes that the resources used will not be regretted with the introduction of new content.
