Weapon Theory Crafting

[green imp]

i am was wrong. 1x ein, rest persuit beat full ein.

full ein did 6350 on a headshot, 1x ein + persuit did 6475

[civic field]

fab t3 sere eoten not good now?

[ancient kernel]

so now the go to is 1 Ein & all other metal persuit with t3 swamp wood?

[green imp]

t5 swamp wood, not sure if full persuit is better than 1x ein. im thinking it probably actually depends on the gun now what does more damage, i could see persuit being worse on shotguns because of their already small critx and huge base ranged damage, but for rifles atleast 1x ein, 1x t5 swamp, rest persuit did slightly more damage than 1x t5 swamp all ein

[ancient kernel]

ok that said what gun were you testing this all on??

[green imp]

@ancient kernel lee metford

[ancient kernel]

been using the Winchester & Webley

[green imp]

if i had to guess id say they are still probably better with persuit since htye have decent crit relative to base damage.

[twilit wave]

i would think t4 swamp would be good as it has or had the higher base range dam.

[ancient kernel]

im really kicking myself for not grabbing pics of my gear stats earlier this morning before the update started... not sure atm if what i have is still good or worse

[green imp]

t4 swamp wood is 20% range damage, t5 is now 25%

[twilit wave]

great

[green imp]

i had a typo, please reread

[twilit wave]

ah they did change that then. i just got back into the game. damn slow internet. was looking over my gear and some legecy stuff from before.

[ancient kernel]

yeah im gonna have to redo all of my gear just to see if new is better or not

esp my firearms

[fierce gazelle]

Took my pre-patch gear into Extreme Jana with no changes just to get a feel of the differences. Noticed immediately I was doing more damage across the board. When I got to Jana I noticed I could no longer fire both barrels at once, but proceeded anyway to see what a single shot would do. It ended up doing in the same ballpark as a double shot use to do pre-patch.

[ancient kernel]

if a post-patch single shot is now the equivalent of a pre-patch double barrel shot then i guess i can get behind this change... i mean it now means we got 2x the double barrel shots before having to reload

[fierce gazelle]

So far I'm feeling stronger across the board with no changes to my gear. Might be I just got lucky with the mats I have used with the new stats. Uncapped quake is doing bonkers damage. 220 was very easy before, and it just got easier 😦

[oblique crest]

This is of course before the cap limits are implemented, let’s enjoy it while it lasts lol

[oblique crest]

Go do it on extreme. Not level 25 bugs lol

[supple shell]

You're paying attention to the wrong numbers there buddy

[oblique crest]

Hey enjoy the damage. We all should before they add the caps for stats

[proud ember]

Adjustments to resource, clothing and weapon attributes - "now any attribute can be added to any item in crafting"

this is interesting

[gusty summit]

it's a strange new world

wood only has one stat now, stamina efficiency gone has drastically changed things

[restive musk]

Does anyone have some spare flax? ive being looking for that last 12hrs and being unlucky -__

[proud ember]

any image of the new shotgun ?

[digital nacelle]

Same boat mate, every time I see a bag at a POI, it's just mistberry.

I've cleared every swamp from start through asc hunt, and spent 8 hours just swamp hunting, and nothing. For some people, it just doesn't spawn, at all.

I'm about to give up so I can make some gear, I've been running NTTC in hunt and vaults for weeks...sucks that the only good material for weight is so damn buggy

[fierce gazelle]

Flax spawns have been removed since patch. I found 2 bags that were 100% flax bags but they just gave crude fibre. Additionally, flax no longer gives weight since patch, just 5% crit.

[restive musk]

yeah was hunting down the flax for the crit for some clothing i wanted to make 😦

[civic field]

They even removed the Grass Ropes from the tent awnings, just straight up crude there too

[ancient kernel]

anyone got any ideas for what charm to put on this?
already have Sniper, Flanking, Blindside, Fervor, Steadiness & Naiad on my clothing gear

[civic field]

Arsenal with an offhand throw dagger or grenade, and alternate to proc it constantly lol

[ancient kernel]

how're the daggers & grenades' working out? have you had a chance to play with them any?

[civic field]

Not myself, but Ice is 1 shotting 220 carnutes with them atm apparently

[warm crag]

any good replacement for sg? double shot has gone

[ancient kernel]

not really but supposedly now each individual of the 2 shots does as much damage as a full double barrel shot. so... still not bad

[supple shell]

I just wanted to see what the highest number I could get was. Learned that the devs use a 32 bit signed integer for the damage display.

[ancient kernel]

time to test quake with my new MP knife

[twilit wave]

Now that's a knife.

So.. what is a better sling bow build now with the new patch? Crit or magic?

[ancient kernel]

magic esp with the AoE magic marbles
the higher your magic the more dmg done
ofc you still need ranged damage
though i think someone mentioned a chg
since last patch magic ammo isn't as effective

[ancient kernel]

yeah T3 Carnute in a 160 realm goes down pretty quick
and that's without using ferocity lantern
im at 606 MP with explorer's clothing alone
1452 with explorer's clothing & knife
1758 with clothing, knife & ornate lantern

[restive musk]

Anyone whose made some range clothing willing to share screenshots of what they crafted?

[ancient kernel]

working on gathering mats for a ranged/magic clothing gear set

[twilit wave]

same. ill take screen shots as i make my new drudic casual.

[ancient kernel]

i've given up on finding/gathering any T3 Fabled Carnute 😞
gathering Jana, T3 Fabled Harpy & Pihrat is taking some time though 😅
even made a post for WTT/WTB for those

Here is my new shirt. took a bit to get the T3 Fable Everhart Deer. but i got enough for it.

crafted with the greenhouse card active.

[ancient kernel]

what's the end result look like as in the shirt's color scheme?

[twilit wave]

will take pic when sun up for good angle.

i belive the jana is the vest-y part and the forest fiber is the under shirt. tho i might be wrong on that.

and this was taken during sunrise in a forest.

[restive musk]

@twilit wave that looks like a range build right?

is the everhart for stam?

[twilit wave]

The Everhart was a bit of stam and for environmental buffs. T5 desert fiber for more stam. Jana for health.

And yes a magic/ range build. Still not sure how to use magic properly yet. Bullets to the head normally work. Haven't played with magis bullets yet.

[digital nacelle]

The devs really need to make a category for theorycrafting...one for weapons, armor, food, and loadouts in the main sections

[vivid flicker]

Seems odd to use a signed int for damage. Unless they are using it to use the same functions to heal I guess

[vivid flicker]

Min/Max-er's Haven. We need our own proving ground realms too 🤣

[gusty summit]

Speaking of Min/Max'ing... Has someone started working on figuring out the new soft caps for every stat in F2 screen? Or are people waiting to see if crafting changes again?

[digital nacelle]

They haven't implemented the caps yet, so we don't know what they'll be when added

dont the ink they turned out too bad

[edgy wave]

Lee-Metford rifle with T3 Ebonwood/Einaidia stock, bombardier barrel, and fabled sun giant metal plate. Loving the darker colors. The little gold trim from the Sun Giant metal tops it off! Titan's Fingernail is hidden inside the Refined Action

[proud ember]

yo lol. what is the scene now with this game ? worth starting a new run ?

[edgy wave]

I think so, there's a lot of new changes where starting a new character would be cool. Myself and a few of my friends have started new chars to experience the recent patches, however they have spent more time on the new chars than I.

Noobies can now have fun toys like blunderbusses and grenades

Your followers can now shoot guns 😄

[proud ember]

what's the meta now ? i don't see people crunching numbers now

the followers still tear down your base with weapon ?
