Crafting is really dumb

[KafarPL]

EDIT: CASE SOLVED, NOTHING TO SEE HERE


The item description in blacksmith window states

"The blacksmith crafts an enchanted item appropriate to your level"

I am level 41

I craft an item

I call this description a bullcrap because crafting gives me level 26 items instead of level 41...

I think something got overlooked here...

Component drops are also crappy. I have shizload of various components but I cant craft crap (aka better components) because...yeah, because I have shizloads of them but they are not the same. Half of my inventory is filled with them but I simply cant upgrade cus I dont have enough of them in single type, instead I have like 50 various components.

At higher levels components should start dropping as completed (eg full Searing Ember 4/4) instead of partial crap :/

You aren't going to get ultra awesome items every time you craft. Just like you won't always get an awesome drop from every enemy you kill.

Did you even bothered to understand what I was saying ?

Because apparently you did not understood a thing

Let me put it simply in 2 points

1) Crafting doesnt give me items on my level despite it clearly says it will. It gives me items that are around 15-20 levels below

2) Component drop rates and overall later game component drops are a joke. I cant upgrade basic L7 components because I dont get enough of them later - because I get various other components, which turns into my inventory being full of various weak shiz that I cant upgrade. At higher levels basic components like searing ember, battered shell and such should already drop completed and not by pieces

This has nothing to do with any luck and you commented like I was saying that crafting doesnt give me uber green rarity items....

Craft is only additional means of getting gear,nothing else.

Buy and find recipes from factions

So ? How does that relate to fact that it gives underleveled items despite saying it will give items scaled to player's level ?

It doesnt relate at all

Also, even if it is, I have to use it because game gives me literally quite...nothing in terms of gear. I had better yellow crafted weapon than any other I got from drop for a way too long time

Any recipe that is named will give you stuff at the level it lists. Don't use named recipes if you want a pc of gear for your level.

Use things like "Heavy Chest Armor" or "Caster Leggings" or "Acid Implement". If its got a special name then it won't scale to your level.

Did you actually read the post ?

I clearly wrote that and as you probably realize this is written on those "random" yellow (with chance of green) items, not on named ones

[Honorable_D]

No, I didn't read the whole post; I skimmed over it.

Never had your problem, buddy. Best of luck.

[KafarPL]

You didnt ? Well then seems like I can throw out "the description is wrong" theory and apply "this crap is bugged" theory

I was only wrong about L26. It actually gives me L28 items instead of L41

The level requirement is based on the affix on the item. The item's level (based on its stats/attribute requirements) is about your level.

Sorry OP but your entire thread is filled with attitude... Solely from you. Noone that replied to you was saying anything to instigate but you clearly are looking for a fight.

My advice. Step back and calm down and reevaluate why you made this thread, for discussion or did yer girl leave ya and now yer feeling salty and looking for a fight?

That means that the description is wrong. It shouldnt be saying that the blacksmith will craft an item at your level when the crafting output have nothing to do with your level

So then again, how I can get those "random" yellow items recipes on my level when they are not droping at all and no-one sells them ? I got only named recipes, either from drop or merchants. But not a single random one that would scale to my level

It is not but when people come to a topic to say random stuff not related to the problem or they have dumb "answer" that is 100% wrong for a certain question then you cant really react other than facepalming over the fact that they really either didnt read the post at all or they didnt tried to understand it...

First of all, the description does not say the blacksmith will craft an item that has the same level as you. Instead, you will get an item appropriate to your level, which translates to something you can use.
Second, crafting is a gamble, apart from specific guaranteed stats on items from specific blueprints.
Third, if you lack components, farm for them such as you would for gear. Apart from the most basic components, components can usually be crafted. It may be a bit complex at times because you need to craft component x in order to craft component y so as to craft item z, but that is part of the game concept -- complex character development.

I agree with powbam, at first i would have like to help you. ... But meh, not in the mood to help ungrateful people.

KafarPL; I don't care much to read through so much childish attitude and remarks, so if this has already been stated, oh well.
Component drops are not evenly distributed throughout each area. Some component drops will only drop in certain areas. Like blood of Cthon will only drop in Bloodsworn controlled areas and Ancient Hearts will only drop from certain large bosses. Same goes for the lesser components. Only certain types of enemies and areas will drop certain components. If you're playing straight through the game map without going back through areas for extra XP or items, then you'll miss out on a lot of the drops.
