Why can the Craftsman you have not create better weapons?

[Grumpy-Granddad]

Ok, the game lets you save 5 Craftsmen including a Hunter, Alchemist and a Blacksmith.
These three are good for armor and potions and such.
All three are able to create armor but noon is able to create anything better then basic weapons for the starting level?

That is bonkus sins for some arrea's you gotta be a reasonable level and have a decent weapon to even be able to free some craftmen but in return they are unable to create weapons that are close to match your level.
So what they bring to the plate is basicly only armor that you can use.
Sure in the game some armor is dropped but the lack of the ability to create some decent weapons is stunning. Basicly you walk arround allot in the game with weapons that are way lower then your own level even if you have maxed them out.
You are forced to look for drop spots and fight mobs with inferiour weapons to get some decent stuff. Realy? Like i said before that is bonkus.

maybe the weapons, you need to find a recipe first for "or are just not added yet, its an early access after all"

It's like those looter shooter games, they want you to get your gear outside in the world, they are imagining a gameplay flow where you go from one POI to another and collect resources and loot, then return to base, then go out and collect loot and then return to base.

This is a very boring cycle of which building skills and materials fails to be useful for...
There's no simulation or whatnot to manage your base at all, it's just getting resources to hit another milestone until you run out of milestones.

There's no point to building multiple bases while you want all crafting to be in one place.

Enshrouded might be a game, but it has a fundamental flaw with it's design when it comes to lore and world building, and that's immersion.

It's like Diablo 3 and 4, you go out, loot and scoot, you come back to the hub. Rinse and repeat.

The game needs a sim element, like base management from natural threats, degradation of your inhabitants and recruiting new ones and whatnot.

no. you will find good stuff everywhere. Look it up on youtube, if you like.
Of course, sometimes you have to fight, to get better stuff and you have to eat/use the right stuff in the right time to be strong enough to hit stronger ones.......

for my poor lvl 8 character, the armor stuff build by my NPCs is not that bad, lvl 13, weapon is another story...
