1.18 The Economy Update - Changelog

They will be turned to crafting items colin350 confirmed it here https://forums.wynncraft.com/threads/i-can-be-your-hero-beta.238682/ (He replied to a comment asking your question and answer yes)

 

I KNEW keeping all those seemingly useless items would come in handy one day !

 

Me too, Yaaayyyy!! :D

 

ok but runescape is built around the crafting and mining things but this update is just thrown in after like 18 major updates. Why waste time making stuff when you could kill enemies to get stuff which is the way the game has been since the start. Either this update is gonna make super op things or is gonna be so bad that nobody uses it and im positive there will be a tedious quest about the new mechanics. And wynncraft doesnt try to be different with these updates. These kind of updates are thrown in to be thrown in and to me it doesnt even try to be unique.

________________________________

Yea but what they did with that new idea is ultimately going to break the game or be used by nobody. It doesnt have to be a new idea but they at least have to try and from what i can tell its just basic mining/crafting/fishing (everybody loves fishing) without anything special AND there are basic quests to go along with it

________________________________

Yea but runescape was built around the mechanics and wynncraft is built around killing monsters to farm, not to literally farm. It serves nothing to the game except a new mechanic that will break the game or be useless

 

You don’t know any of this for sure though? At this point, it feels like you’re pulling claims out of your ass to support your opinion.

Crafting for armor and weapons was introduced to fill in niches that don’t exist yet, or to have a substitute for something you can’t use. Let’s just say I need a chestplate with thunder defense, mana regen, and raw spell damage for my air/water archer build. Nothing really viable exists, but assuming that they’ll be ingredients that provide this, I can craft it. Or, what if I wanted to use Boreal-Patterned Aegis, but was using another hive item? I could craft a slightly less powerful substitute.


Will crafting be perfectly balanced? I don’t know. Some ingredients may synergize better than others, some might be completely useless, but that’s why we have an Item Team, to balance items and ingredients. Also, the only quest that mentions professions is the new King’s Recruit, after that, you aren’t forced to even touch them after that.

How about waiting for the update, then play it, and then form an opinion on it before jumping to conclusions?

 

All misc. Items will be automatically converted to ingredients

 

Does that mean all Misc. items will have ingredient counterparts? YES MY COLLECTION IS USEFUL NOW

 

Idk, some might be kept for quests or whatever, but idk

 

What worries me is the durability on weapons. A few questions, not been active on discord, but which tiers does this affect? And if so, how long does a good Legendary/Rare weapon/ armor lasts? And what is the cost of repairing?

 

Durability only affects crafted items. Existing item tiers don't have durability.

 

YES! So it's not going to be another Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild! YES!

 

also, items dont break - they just get reduced effectiveness, down to like 10%

 

I have just one question...
Where’s the Scam Merchant?
It’s called the E-CON-omy Update for a reason, isn’t it?

 

Reported you for shitposting. :P

 

delet

 

JUST FOUND OUT BRAND NEW THING
Alt F4 to get the scam merchant. It works! 1000000% guaranteed!

 

Thank you

 

But through this logic, you could argue that dungeons are a useless mechanic. They're just grinding spots for the sake of grinding, offer no reason or incentive to explore, just a straight path, any lore has to be explained to you directly, and are ether a pretty broken source of EXP and emeralds or just ignored by players because quests are just more interesting.

 

Is all of the progress we have made from before going to stay or is it going to be deleted. Is it just Kings Recruit that we must redo?

 

Your progress will stay. You will only need to redo King's Recruit.
