I think he meant like they are in Vermintide 2, how a specific hammer you have built on a slayer is useable on a ranger. (Not that I think you can equate these 2 scenarios).

I assume as @Gideon404 said, this a no, regardless of whether or not this is for/against design intent.

@FatsharkStrawHat What is the timing for sharing more details about the crafting system? We’re a week out from the update and we need the details on how to manage our inventory and blessings ahead of the update.

Key questions:

  1. How much mastery is needed to unlock tier 4 blessings.

  2. How much mastery do blessings in our current blessing library provide at each tier?

  3. How much mastery does “sacrificing” items provide (for in-family and out-of-family).

  4. How many resources will it cost to upgrade an items base rating to max? Does mastery level have any limits on this?

  5. For a presumably new weapon family, how much XP do you need to max a weapon? Is this XP based on the same XP from missions?

I think these are the key questions we need to know ASAP.

btw, as i was just angrily posting about melk in another thread:
the patch will bring new blessings to many weapons. what will be the sources for getting these blessings for our sticker books?
buying them from melk? but iirc we won’t be able to get the blessings off the weapons he sells. same for those from hadron’s lottery, which will remain for those who like gambling.
so do we have to sacrifice other weapons in order to gain full mastery, which opens the blessing pool?

51

If you have all T3 and T4 blessings you get the weapon mastered on update. If you do not have the 6 or so Rumbler blessings that fall under this criteria (ditto for surge staff and a couple others) just buy like 20 or so white weapons of that type and wait to trash them come update. Into that new Hadron function where weapons can be ground down into mastery progression. I can’t imagine they would cost more than that looking at the current experience curve (assuming its not growing exponentially it would be around 10 games worth of Damnation rounds).

SO, the plan was for it to come out today but something has held it up. I’m really sorry y’all, it’s out of our hands. It will be tomorrow now.

What I can offer instead is a dev blog on the new mission. :pray: Prepping it on all the sites now.

Good dev blog today but we’re all still hungry for those juicy itemization details… is that being bumped to next week?

So this didn’t come out yesterday (Friday) as indicated. Instead we got a different dev blog on the party system. That’s great, but now going into the last weekend ahead of the patch we don’t have any of the specific info about the crafting update.

58

The update is next Thursday, so that doesn’t leave much room.

59

What decision are you trying to make before Thursday?

60

This: I’d like to know (a) how many mastery points are needed to be able to unlock tier 4 blessings in the new system, (b) specifically how many points existing blessings translate into under the mastery system.

All of this is because I need to decide what other weapons I have lying around that I should scrap for their blessings ahead of time.

I don’t want to scrap a good weapon with a tier 4 blessing if I won’t be able to unlock it under the new system without having to grind a bunch more.

The details matter to planning ahead for this change.

61

From the info we have the algorithm seems to be like this:

  • Good weapon that you use: keep using it, nothing is going to “grey out”
  • Good weapon that you will never use: sacrifice after the update
  • Low level weapon with a learnable blessing: learn the blessing before the update

Potential impact of error in prediction:

  • Usability of weapon: None
  • Ability to acquire new unmodified weapons: None
  • Ability to modify weapon: Worst case, equivalent effort of one Melk contract to rectify

Consider also the status of your sticker book. If you have the majority of T3/4 blessings for a weapon family then that family is mastered. Unused weapons from that family should be turned in after the update to progress other weapon families.
