Weaponsmith Archive

In my repairing since pub 7, results are way different, some say bugged ...some say intentional... until I hear otherwise or that it is being addressed (fixxing a bug) ... then we have to use it the way it is... I have failed probably around 30% of the time on any prenerf weapons (enhanced or otherwise) ...so it could have a multiplier in the math as far as difficulty goes, or could be a way to weed out the prenerf weapons ....existing weapons now (enhanced or not ) seem to repair90% of the time or so but depending on where the condition was at repair attempt directly seems to effect how low the condition reduction is as a result of the repair... i get a very few Minor blemish (perfect) repairs at all anymore ....must be that 5% chance at it now, i keep hearing about hehe... again this is just in my experience ...

Repairing Krayt weaponry has always been more difficult for me. Someone told me once that it was done purposefully...something about theextra components or whatever. I don't have anything to back that up but someone out there might. Just a thought.

I believe if a gun goes so far down in condition that it loses stats, then those stat losses are generally permanent. I have repaired stat-lossed weapons like this, and I don't remember when the stats have gone back up, even with a great repair.

Also, on the weapon repair change in publish 7 - if the devs did it intentionally, they did it to sort of boost the weaponsmithing industry, in making people come back more often for weapons since they decay faster. However, this also lowers the value of weapons made with enhancements, such as krayted weaponry, because they dimish more quickly and can't easily be replaced. I personally had +4 weapon repair before publish 7, at which point my repairs were 90% minor blemishes, with a few max condition reduces. Now, I have +31 weapon repair, and I get minor blemishes maybe 20% of the time, with the rest being max condition reduces or worse.

Question Osrub_Bria.... how do you have a +31 Weapon Repair? I tht everything Cap'd at +25 from CA's and AA's and clothing etc...(whatever combo)

yeah, since two publishes ago, the wpn repairs for me on valcyn have sucked....i almost never repair win minimum damage to teh wpn... usually it leaves the stats alone but drops the condition by 200. and i use 100 percent repair kits made on the one day patch. ive also used 98 percent ones made after the patch to see if the 100 percent ones were bugged. so i dont know. its kinda annoying
