Thread: Recipe changes in 1.19

I remember reading a dev post that they were also changing the crafting and i thought gathering XP required down to not be so drastic as a DOW/DOM has it.

For those base mats items, yeah it's a bite in the butt; however, the old recipes are still going to be side-by-side for parts grinding so that's some relief. For ex: can still grind on vamps, shirt parts, etc. until 1.20. Granted it'll be about 4x as expensive/time consuming now....

It should be an achievement to reach 50 on a craft and players should not be able to say "I watched TV and have all crafts at 50". It should be an expensive journey that takes time.

Agreed but almost anyone I know with several crafts leveled (who didnt just simply bot their way there) all got there the same way grab a few seasons of your favorite TV show and spam standard.

ignorance. every craft costs millions now to actually grind out unless you have a shard bot that constantly supplies you with hundreds of thousands of shards. it was already an expensive journey and took time before.

can you explain one single change that is going to alleviate this? even finished gear now will be just standard bash to completion.

No I cant. I do not agree with the upcoming changes and I do not think they are a positive move. I dont see this alleviating the old "spam standard til your fingers bleed".

I tend to agree somewhat.

On one hand, we lose the high yield base item recipes we have now come 1.19 and also 1.20. We also will be losing all those juicy in-between levels of being able to craft parts for grinding. The loss of vamps are likely to kill ranking LWs.

On the other hand, we'll now spend less time crafting those parts, and have more time to craft end items.

I'm also curious to see if DoH yields per strike are going to increase...if not there's going to be a severe shortage of wood, ore and fish for a good while, despite the fact that the insane array of items possible to be gathered is being trimmed.
