old saw blade

[FabricSoftener]

FYI: I heard a rumor that nobody is getting 'old saw blade' I just got one at scavenging 36

As a matter of ease the devs could add a recipe for said blade. with a punch, and a hammer, you can take a small medium or large sheet of metal and make a saw blade. Thats basically how they are made in real life, but they use a hydraulic press to make the cuts for the teeth

ive found 2 in 2 weeks, not a common thing, keep it safe :)

some things in this game need to have more value and give scavenge a purpose.

???

I completely have no clue what that statement means

I think that was in response to Hammrain's suggestion that saw blades should be craftable from sorted metal resources. The Hopiite wants them to remain rare & non-craftable. I tend to agree with Hammrain. Let em be crafted.

I agree with the notion that some things should only be obtained by scavenging.. It gives that profession choice value.. What's next, making metal decorations craftable?

honestly why not? you can find scrap metal why not make it look pretty, you have the tools. Just seems like it would make sense to be abel to make components out of raw mats.... i dunno have a quality difference between the jury rigged crafted components and the scavenged ones.

I found 2 in 2 days.... I think it all boils down to luck. Just trade somebody for one.

[Haphazard]

IMO, there should always be a base/crappy way to make the starter tools without needing to have "luck" in finding a special piece like an old saw blade. Poor guy starts out as a woodcrafter and gets ganked of his tool, now he is screwed until someone he knows lucks into a scavenge and he knows someone who can craft a saw for him. Otherwise, hes not going to have much of a chance to build stuff with the skill - he might as well reroll.

[Zephyr]

Just as a "real-world" note, saw blades and other cutting implements are made of special high-strength carbon steel. If you were to use a plain old sheet of pot metal and cut out a saw-like shape and fasten that to a wooden handle, you would wind up with a really lousy saw. Though I guess that might still be better than nothing. Perhaps make the "scavenger's saw" recipe use a small metal sheet, and have the product be really poor quality; and then have the better model saws require an Old Saw Blade.

100.0 Scavenging now, 1.000 deaths, 1.000.000 nails but not a single old saw blade. That's no fun.

[Tesla]

Good news is with that many nails you can now afford to buy all of the old saw blades on the server. Bads news is that from my recent experience, rare items are now localised, meaning you need to discover where they are and scavenge there. My area that used to be rich in Old Saw blades and most everything else now favors the ever useful Freeway Rail. I havent scaved an old saw blade in weeks but I don't really need one atm. Happy hunting.

Crafting in Xsyon play a major role, whatever you use " "Basic" tools, materials for tools like old saw blade, weapons, etc...", should be able to construct your self, but, to get supper weapons, armor, etc....? you should have to use rare metals and schemes which would be hard to find throughout scavenging and loot, with upcoming revenants.

[Riverspirit]

I have found most of mine in the south. I don't know if location matters or if it is just luck, but I would suggest trying different locations and see what works for you. I am also a scavenging maniac, so that might have something to do with it. :)

[Dakeen]

Location really really really matters. In one place I find nothing but tons and tons of rivets, nothing else. In another place I can find lots of nails, all the time. It isn't all luck. Some areas simply do not have certain things in it.

[Fyrex]

I always find old saw blades in 739, 740 or 780

[Noxcuse]

sorry to say but the old sawblade luck scavange is bullshit..same problem..that an toolcrafter ( my self) need to get 70 (no joke) to get the first saw recipes with luck.


this game is near a collape of leaving player..and the patches..lol look at the post for the testserver patch..it feels like the devs will kill there own game...or dont want more player.

so mutch problems..but they change the skillsystem..to make more problems with the very low player base...this is stupid...thats why i dont renew my account...ther a re other games in the pipline will kick xsyon down ( see archage),

xsyon is a great game with so great potential..but the devs kick ass this good things

You know you can trade to get the recipe to make tools right?

[Qwerty]

Just recently found and learned a pattern for the foragers lowbie saw and my tool craft skill is just over 30. No BS! Also my scavenging is now 85 and I get about 2 old saw blades per session. You just need to grind up scavenging as a priority.

[Fyrex]

It is also location. I have been scav'n in 823 for 3 days now and have not gotten 1 saw blade. I ran to 738 and did a trade for a cart. On the way back to 823 I scav'd in 738 and 739 and got 2 old saw blades.. So ya its location, location location...

Also in 823 I get saw recipes all the time. I ahve 6 foragers saw recipes, pioneers saw( master and artisan) trappers saw. Its just random, you gotta dedicate some time to scaving to get the stuff you want.

Or like DDT said, TRADE!!! Just freaking Trade already ...

[Dakeen]

I think you automatically learn the foragers saw at 30-35 now, every new player I've talked including myself have all gotten it then. Could be wrong cause I haven't talk to EVERYONE that has skilled up tool crafting in the last 2-3 weeks.

Need some clarity on this but from my perspective it seems not everything is completely random that you learn.
