Game needs a crafting tutorial/questline

[щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Drakes]

I cleared to endgame without crafting or socketing any equipment. It'd be nice if the game gave you a nudge with some guidance to how you should craft so you don't feel like you're either wasting resources not knowing what to do and hoarding the currency instead.

Yeah I know there's probably some 4 hour video on there, but if that info is so vital then put it in the game.

you could read the tooltips of the items to find out what they do, and follow those instructions?

[щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Drakes]

Reading is not as good as doing, doing provides context. Reading the tooltips ingame has me looking up prefixes/suffixes on a 3rd party website. There's no ingame suffix/prefix list you can easily pull up with item level details. Reading tooltips only tells you 10% of what you really need to know.

what? so do..

use the currency, and get your context.

what game has an ecyclopeadia of affixes in game for every item type and level?

use the currency and learn what it does.

Realistically, even if we had a prefix and suffix list in-game, we wouldn't have the weightings for them there, so would still look them up on websites.

Expedition has a sort of crafting tutorial, if you'd like to see it as that. It's not labeled as such but does preview changes and highlights affected mods etc. Sadly it only comes into play during endgame.

Absolutely incredible you made it to endgame with out knowing that there was crafting, the game teaches you this early on, amazing you missed it.

P.S. Again amazing you made it that far and did not know, lmao. I can not tell if this is a troll post or for real, either was cracked me up good.

why is everyone so afraid of trying something, failing, learning from it and trying again?

anyway.. some guidance.
get the base you want.
transmute it, or essence it to better target a mod you need.
throw an augment on it

does it have 2 mods you want? regal it, otherwise bin it
does it have 3 mods you need? exalt it, otherwise bin it

repeat until desired outcome.

at some point you could consider throwing in a chaos orb to fix a bad mod and risk bricking it or making it great

1. Ten minute video tops.

2. It is in game, hold alt over your currency orbs and open the underlined reference text.
