Hardened Iron ?

[Xelphi]

I beat the game two times (normal & hard) and didn't found Hardened Iron, all my stuff are +15 and trait lv 150, that's a bug or what ?

[PhellAsleep]

Sounds like bad RNG. Have you checked if the vendor in the base sells it?

[rooster]

You have a weapon that is +15? You should find it everywhere on hard in the forest area. Join someone else's game and see if you find any there.

All the stuff your wearing or all the stuff including whats in your inventory? Because the stuff your not using still factors into gear rating so it needs to be upgraded also to get hardened iron to show up.

[HypetheKomodo]

have you upgraded everything including armor to +15? i'm just starting my hard playthrough and i found enough to make two +16 weapons

check with ash too

[Xelphi]

yes my weapons and armors are +15

[Trigen]

when i am using boss gun which i cant get better than +7 without that iron i am screwed right?

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

Before the patch the vendor always sold it, since i was able to find some in the game. Now she just sell the first 3 tiers.

[BritishPatternBalding]

i started finding it at trait lvl 160, not much but i am finding it

No, I think the system is not exactly like that. It's not only the weapons and armour you are using, it's all the stuff in your inventary.

If you have a lot of not upgraded stuff the game will think that you still need the most basic iron, the same for each tier.

So we must upgrade everything or most of our stuff. With one character I am in the second run on Hard, level 250 aprox. and I am still not finding Hardened Iron to upgrade >+15.

[Mr. No_Effs_Given]

Im certain that its not true, im lvl 180 right now and found several hardened iron. Its my second run, playing on hard btw. Have lots of equipment that i didnt upgraded once. Would be nice to hear from the devs how this works.

the closer your equip comes to +5 (Primary, Secondary, Meele and Armor.) The more forged iron you see.

The closer you come to +15 the more hardened iron you see... Thats how it works.

No it's not all the other stuff in your inventory. It only has to do with what you are CURRENTLY wearing. I had full 15 gear and wasn't finding anything till I decided to reroll my campaign. Once I did every area I went in to started to drop hardened iron.
I still have tons of stuff that is lvl 1-5. Now a day later I have max level gear. It has to do with your gear level when the area you went into is generated. I'm starting to think its only the very first generation of the area. Leaving and using a stone to reset the areas wasn't having an affect for me.
I was rerolling my campaign frequently looking for one specific boss. Each time I ran though to that point and didn't find the boss I would go upgrade my gear again( trying to keep them as even as possible .. ie: all at 16 before putting something up to lvl 17) and then reroll my campaign. Each time I went into the areas for the first time for that reroll there were more and more hardened stone every reroll because I was leveling up my gear between each new generation of the area.

Yet I never upgraded any of my other items in my inventory. I only upgraded my main equipment ( primary and secondary guns, melee weapon, 3 slots of armor) and from rerolling I ended up getting more and more hardened iron to show up after the first initial reroll. If it is as that post says and what you say I should not have had as big of an increase in hardened iron showing up in my world as I did. It's to the point now where everywhere I go I see tons of hardened iron. I still haven't leveled any of the items in my inventory up and I have added more items to that list.

So either that post is wrong or someone doesn't know what exactly they are talking about.

I think you either didn't read their link or read it incorrectly. They weren't saying that the person you were correcting was correct, merely that you are also misinformed.

The link they mention clearly states that it uses the highest level equipment you have for each slot to create its weighted average, *NOT* what you have currently equipped. This is *specifically* to prevent people switching equipment to generate lower level areas before switching to their leveled up equipment to breeze through.
