Weaponsmith Archive

Maybe they will make it much like the whole CDEF thing, ei the lower lvl weps wont need by name resources, will have the weapons main mods, ie dx2's for lower lvls still has acid dmd, ect ect, just less speed and dmg, i think it will add some diversity for us, or give us headaches one or the other. or maybe the lwl lvl weps will even need to be created by ...lower lvl smiths? i duno it can go many different ways, im wondering myself.

Well this is really gonna screw up my resource collection...Why dont just the devs make it so a person that doesnt have the master cert for a weapon loose a little % in dmg and masters get a boost. im not about to craft 4 or more different certs of 1 gun.

In some ways, I am all for newbie weaponsmiths having lower lvl weapons tosell tonewbie fighters. I wish I had that opportunity. As long as my resources stay needed and I can craft good, advanced weapons, I think all will turn out fine.

if the devs are smart... ok, first time for everything... but *if* they're smart, they'll use a similar system to the recommended levels that the EQ team used on weapons, lowering the stats of the weapons depending on the skills of the user.

Possibly, they will make it like the BE system. Weapons will have a Skill Level like a bio-engineered pet has a Challenge/Creature level. The Weaponsmith could then experiment the SL down instead of damage or efficiency.

I just read that there is to be a new certification standard which will allow all weapons to be use by all. Advancement in skill will allow players to use advanced versions of the basic weapon. Does this mean that we'll be crafting newbie FWG5's, DX2's ,T21's etc. We have all complained that crafting weapons is pretty much designed to be get research to IVthen the specialty area you want to craft to IV before you start to sell things but is this really the answer? What happens to the gear that we've crafted and is currently on our vendors? Do they become newbie weapons? Will CDEF no longer be a companent of the game? I've invested alot of time and effort in gathering the right resources to craft decent weapons am I now to sit and wait until these changes go live before crafting another gun. We really need to get some more information on this. BTW off topic question what happened to the easy access link to the profession and server boards?
