Love it! Upgrading depends on the base modifier score; here’s the table I compiled for max level weapons:
| Level 380 Consecration Costs Table | ||
|---|---|---|
| Plasteel | Diamantine | |
| Profane to Redeemed: | 150 | 0 |
| Redeemed to Anointed: | 200 | 0 |
| Anointed to Exalted: | 400 | 125 |
| Exalted to Transcendent: | 700 | 300 |
| Total (Profane to Transcendent): | 1450 | 425 |
Returning to VT2, you had a ~16% chance to get a Red item out of an Emperor’s Vault ( maximum reward for completing all of the objectives in a level 4 difficulty map). Call it one every 6.25 full-book (three tomes, two grimoires) runs.
Translating this into Darktide, you can earn up to 440 Plasteel and 195 Diamantine per map, assuming you find ALL of the pickups. Multiply that by 6.25, and you get 2,750 Plasteel and 1,218.75 Diamantine.
If you round those up to 3,000 Plasteel and 1500 Diamantine, That represents about five Damnation runs, which seems about right, or ~1-4 per week, depending on how hard you’re farming Damnation missions for them.
This doesn’t put them out of reach for Malice players, who would need at least 12 runs to collect enough resources to get one.
