"We actually had a solution for this in 1.18: crafted items. In many ways, crafted items can be more powerful than mythics. That's done purposefully."
https://wynndata.tk/i/Hope <--- too op. please nerf this too.

 

that bow really gives me Hope for uniques :3

 

Hope is pretty neat, I used it for quite a while in lootrunning (until I got a good Wybel Fluff Bow).

 

Are you expecting a low level player to have access to 3 star ingredients? Even better: Why is high xp bonus so scarce on ingredients outside cooking and alchemism?

 

All players have access to tier 3 ingredients. Rare mobs are encountered, albeit uncommonly, throughout regular gameplay and exploring. That's not to mention the marketplace which gives any and all players access to all ingredients in the game, given there's a supply and for T3s there's bound to be.

 

I actually haven't used the marketplace yet, so that's enough of a response on that. But my second question? I think mythic utility item and Discoverer comes to mind, but these changes seem to make that type of item impossible for crafted items. This is why I'm still confused by Salted's comment. The point of my question is to find out how you think crafted items are actually solving a problem. So far I haven't seen that to be the case. I like the idea of making strong items and crafting, but not using them to solve the mythic problem.

 

this item was actually known for remaining un nerfed after a while, it was one of the first on the nerf list but the big men upstairs forgot about it. you got the item nerfed by putting it under the spotlight

 

Consumables typically have higher XP and Loot Bonus because they are consumables and it is done so to encourage players to use them for a grind session.

What Salted's statement really means is crafted item reaching mythic strength is possible, doesn't mean it is easy to do. You're only supposed to be able to that level of power when you use the most optimised recipe with the best of ingredients and materials. How it solves the "mythic problem" as you put it is to offer a way for player to get that amount of combat power with effort and investments without relying on tiny RNG. Given that there are still RNG involved in getting the materials and ingredients, there is a clear method in getting the necessary components and they are arguably much better chances than getting a mythic, marketplace also allow for easy exchange of these materials. As crafted weapons have the potential to best mythics, this move mythics into more of a collectable and status staple instead of raw power, for players that aren't endgame optimised, they wont be feeling left out and feeling like mythic is a need to "complete this character" or be the strongest as they can now that an alternative is added.

Therefore as you can see, stacking powders or tier 0 ingredients, both are very accessible and easy to obtain compare to the higher tier ingredients, in order to gain massive power or utility, is not intentional and it hurts the game the longer it goes unnoticed. Discoverers and other extremely gimmicky mythics/items are hard to replicate when we have 1/6 of rooms to balance a gimmick for ingredients, but that doesnt mean future ingredients will won't make that happen.

 

I can agree with almost all of these points, except the last part. Ingredients could have been a little more diverse from what I've seen. Guess I better get my professions to 100 and actually break something instead ;)

 

I definitely agree that ingredients could have been more diverse (e.g. literally zero health ingredients for jeweling), but also worth considering that this is the introduction of the system, so presumably we'll be getting more ingredients in the future.
