"They are not determined when you pick them up. Get 2 of the same kind of items. Purify one. Now sell that one, and purify the other. Both times you get the same item. If they had been decided when you picked them up, they would be different items."

No, the item you get is randomized only to a certain degree. 2 different Bitterblack Weapons lv. 1/2/3 can have the same 2 weapons, but if you are purify one Bitterblack Weapon, no matter how many times you reload the save and purify it again, you will get the same weapon again and again(assuming you stay the same Vocation on your character and your pawn) because the item has already been determined. If you didn't get what you want, go back to Cassardis, wait 3-4 days to reset the chests, and pick up another one and hope that this time its the item you want.
