Opinions On Crafted Items?

What is everyone’s opinions on crafted items? Do you think they’re dogshit, OP or just perfectly balanced as is? If you could improve something with them, what would it be?
I recently went through the Crafting Recipes threads to the first page and someone was complaining and being toxic because ingredients lower the chance of mythics in chests or something and saying they would only be on the lvl of rares and MAYBE some recipe could reach legendary tier.

Personally I think crafteds are pretty good, I would say they are Fabled tier stuff.

 

I don't like crafted items. I don't dislike the concept, it sounds great, and I really like crafting my own items. The issue is, I don't like crafted items because they can be easily ruined by just changing 1 ingredient. Because changing 1 ingredient will affect large amounts of crafted items, no matter what, every single ingredient change will definitely affect you. Not to mention, I feel that Crafted Items only provide a marginal boost. Is that slight bit more power worth the instability of having to worry if your newly crafted item you poured your LE and time gathering to make will break the next ingredient change? I don't think so

 

i personally think it's overpowered,
i'll write my essay later.

Spoiler: my old conversation because i'm lazy.

People never care about armor powder because they don’t understand the sole ducking reason why it’s there in the first place

Powder armor special is a small boost to damage, or is it? Actually it’s pretty large damage boost for some certain element eg. fire, water which is a total% boost Sadly people rarely cares about them and just look at raw stat on wynndata and make fun out of watermythic with high base like lament, spring for example which throws them out of design and how they where intended to be use, spell spam which increases it’s damage over spell use within 1 second (up to max 20% per mana) which is why water damage mythic base must be kept low in order form them to not be game breaking.

. But when crafted item is released they break the rule by making every item crafted with powder have same basedamage, the only difference is base powder boost, that means with a fast crafted the multiplier is far larger hence why people like fast on the crafted bow. Also that means crafted with waterdamage and having med-high base dam means it‘kk overthrow low damage based water mythic which is meant to work under concentration buff making them overpowered as a result

Yes I fucking typed that with mobile

^ basicly my rant about concentration&crafteds.
oh time to rant about powder slap.

 

Did he have any proof? While yes chest slots can be 100% filled with loot if left untouched for long enough, but to assume they would actually eliminate an already existing item that's coded to be there is unlikely, from what I know chests pour in new loot every 5 minutes when the old system had loot added every minute, also pretty sure ingredients make lootrunning more profitable, when your pouch is full, taking out the good ingredients that you need or could fetch a price on the market, you're still left with a bunch of other ingredients which your pouch can sell for like 8-12EB, which will add up to several LE

 

that's correct, but small amount of le that should adds up overtime or mythic(s)?

 

There's no confirmation that ingredients take up currently filled slots, they most likely aim for empty ones, and even if they can take slots, they would probably aim for items of the least value

 

i agree, it's hard to really argue/win over something that we have no information on how it works.

 

I like crafteds.

 

Crafteds can be good? yes
Is it worth travelling the whole map clicking mf blocks to get 0.5% xp? hell no

If i were to get one or two crafteds like most ppl do, I'd just buy the mats and ask someone to craft, cuz profession grind is literally the most boring thing in wynncraft rn, and the funniest part is that they removed dxp from quests long ago because ppl were saving gameplay content for when the server got a dxp bomb, and rn that is literally happening with professions.

But back to crafteds, except for bows, lr gear and some really specific accessories, its pretty much useless imo.

 

since when do nodes give 0.5% xp


in higher levels, without prof xp bomb, im pretty sure each one gives like 0.01%

 

WHEN WILL THEY ADD THE PROMISED GATHERING XP AND GATHERING SPEED STAT

 

Seems fair, more bombs more money am i right

 

Right now, I'm unwilling to buy any crafted items, due to the aforementioned possibility of the item breaking and becoming completely unusable from even a small change to the ingredients, which has happened to me once or twice already. I'm also unwilling to grind out the levels to make them myself, and I'm not sure that it would be worth it even if they were easier to craft; durability is both a pain in the neck and also a potential danger: my friend's crafted pants gave out halfway through EO, despite having been fully repaired beforehand. The balance between durability and power just isn't a worthwhile trade-off most of the time in my opinion, with the obvious exceptions of loot and walkspeed gear.

 

He had 0 proof, and was just whining about how “it lowers the spawn rate of mythics” and “ingredients are fucking useless, but could someone tell me which to keep as that’s at least SOME money made from this shitty update” ye no, I just laughed at that lol

 

Can you link it so I can enjoy laughing my ass off as well?

 

I guess every space taken by an ingredient is a space a mythic can't be in? I don't think that actually makes a difference, since there's always been useless junk in chests, but I dunno.

I'm not sure if chests compress a bunch of less valuable items into a more valuable item if left untouched long enough or just items of random rarity are thrown at it
