Just got my second double legendary drop but this time it was set and both were inside the chest (meaning the club reward does not have to be as high as the chest rewards). This time it was Relic Of St. Darqar and Antioch's Figurine. Attached pic for proof
Club Reward doesn't match highest rarity in chest, it shares the same minimum rarity as the chest does. I had also thought it worked the way you thought at first. The wording is a little bit obscure to people who aren't already familiar with the game.
I hit the purple chest yesterday day and it dropped The Pulper. Not an obviously sexy item, but I could see an interesting use for it.
If only Luke was wearing Ring Of Appropriation when he lost his hand, then the item might have been more powerful.
I've gotten Dwarven Panatellas and St. Osrim's Corona, but i'm FAR more happy about my day 1 Bec De Corbin drop, was my favourite weapon in beta. Dodge = stronk. Also the polearm strikes are pretty nifty too.
My first legendary in release is one I also got in beta: Staff Of Embers. Even post-nerf it's still the most useful legendary I've ever owned.
I got Czint's Buckler first. Then I got St. Tesrim's Corona when I did the Melvelous quest. Both were from the Hunter's Club though. I haven't gotten any that were just a random drop.
my first legendary i got from a normal chest was Azguls Orb. My first epic however (again from a mission chest) was the Trogsbane
So my first legendary was nothing to write home about, but my second made me go "Whoa": Reaper's Scythe
No longer the "first legendary" thread, but hey - why not keep going. Just got Ozone Plates from Riddle of the Gnome Lords. I like!
I'm lvl 14th and not much luck with legendaries. My first was (surprise, surprise) Hand Of Malvelous and Bleneth's Frenzy Charm (club reward). My first true random legendary was Beater. Given that my item's are so-so still I actually use all of them.
In my daily MP victory, opponent resigned even though he was ahead on stars and number of surviving chars, and I got Ravenna's Incense and Bynzer's Black Spear from the chest; club reward was merely rare.
