Delving Bench not working at all?

[Mr Colt]

So I'm trying to get this bench to work... I have several hundred Eldarium (the bar, not fragment), i have the gear I want to put in. I put them all in, but the bench does not work at all.

I followed the Journey even, got myself the starmetal sword, and the next is to learn a Delved Schematic, but even if I only put in a stack of eldarium and a starmetal sword in the bench, nothing happens.

Any ideas?

It has to be a hardened steel weapon, I believe. If something doesn't give you anything, put something else in there. Only a few specific items result in new recipes in the delving bench - the others do nothing.

I've looked up whats needed and tried most hardened steel weapons, and a few armor pieces. nothing happens. They are all full durability aswell, newly crafted.

I tried to use the Delving Bench as well and have been unable to get it functioning. I've stuck various Star Metal and Hardened Steel weapons (some normal, some were variable drops) in there, along with some armor pieces, with more than enough Eldarium.

In the update notes, Funcom mentioned that they changed how delving worked behind the scenes to now operate off gameplay tags (which would be tied to items in ItemTable), so it's possible that they forgot to add the relevant tags to items, or they borked something down the chain.

Ah. If they've changed things, yeah, then it can be expected to be broken.

I've also tried running a fresh new save with no mods installed and had the same results. I'm assuming at this point it's a base-game issue, but I haven't seen any bug reports about it yet on the Funcom Forums.

Delving now works more reliably and has been restructured internally to use gameplay tags.

Indeed.

In beta, It worked.....just not with typical 50 eldarium bars. Try using decayed 50 eldarium that is what I had to do in beta. Have not tried in live version since decayed eldarium is impossible to come by on Exile Lands.

Decaying Eldarium worked on my end, thanks for the info. (It's worth noting that variable and 'perfected' hardened steel weapons do not work, can't remember if they did before the update, normal hardened steel and star metal work.)

I'm not sure why the bench switched over to using the decayed material instead of the refined bars. I suppose that's something I can try and fix with a mod in the meantime.

It is either a bug or this was intentional change by Funcom to prevent Exile Lands players from further using the bench.
