Attument progress

[odcjones]

Hello Guardians. Is there any indication on how many times I have to do a Attument Progress on a weapon before its pattern is unlocked? And will it even progress when it says: You are at capacity on resources. Mutable or Energetic.

Yup, if you go to your Triumphs page, there is a section called "Patterns and Catalysts", that will show you what you've unlocked, as well as the requirements and progress on the ones you have not unlocked yet.

I have heard that you must gain Mutable/Energetic/Ruinous, etc material from the resoanance, for the pattern to count. So if you are maxed on one kind, and try to extract that kind, it won't count as a pattern extraction even though you gain neutral element at the least. Maybe it's true, maybe people just got confused over weapons that require multiple extractions, I guess I'm not that willing to test it, I always make sure I have room.

That is a very clear answer! I Will make sure to have room. Geez, been filling those weapons and nothing happened. Thanks!

Note that not all red-bordered weapons can be created (blueprinted).

I was wondering this as well. Didn't know I had to extract certain elements for it to count. I just attuned a grenade launcher for part of the questline and it didn't count. Now I know to look in the triumphs to see exactly which of the two choices to extract. This is a fat grind to even get the weapons in the first place.

It doesn't matter which element you extract, as long as it's an element that you are not full on - if the weapon offers adroit and ruinous, and you're full on ruinous but choose it anyway, then you don't get pattern progress on it.
The caps are being raised tomorrow, 250 up to 1,000 for the 'flavoured' elements. That should hopefully mean people will always have space for an extraction.
