dont miss out on blue bp's

[Padds]

everyone i see has rushed to legendary bp's but these cost 1600xp tp level
i got a blue shotgun to max BP level with less than half that then crafted at tier 5 and did like 3 calibrations its sitting there at 6X380 damage. it cost no starchron and easily keeps up with those end game recipes.

sure the legendary will eventually eclipse it but i think it could be worth at least levelling one or two blue/purple recipes before you start that massive grind could pay dividends in time saved later and getting to high power fast.

Well, there is a stark difference between blue and legendary base stats. A fully upgraded blue blueprint is around the base stats of a basic legendary. So it really depends on how many ressources you spent on upgrading that blue blueprint.

Personally I prefer to go directly for the legendary because I know that I won't change it so I can freely max it without wasting ressources. And Even if at some point I change gear, it will still be hanging in my base, powerfull and ready to go if needed. I will probably not recraft it every blueprint level though, as a fully calibrated +10 is way too costly for that.

Most power comes from calibration and not the stars a blueprint has. On top of it a 1 star legy has already that high stats that all the blue stuff that was leveled was a waste of blueprints that could've been put to add stars on legy blueprints.
On top of it you take your starchrome and blueprints into the next season so every blueprint you "waste" on blue or purple gear just makes the game longer untill you reach the glory of a fully decked out toon with all that juicy 5 star legy blueprints.
