Gaining new recipes seems broken

[Chibi]

That would suck. I dropped those two stats to 20.

But I got a new recipe in basketry at level 10 -- as have a few other people near me. Always at 10, and always the same one ( grass hat ).

So, I'm hoping its still randomized and it's just the fact that we're low-skilled so we don't have a wide range of variable crafts we can make yet.

I have yet to try anything else, crafting wise.


The new change in crafting is a bit of a surprise, because I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what path to take early on to solo efficiently and what stats complimented what I was trying to do, and still have enough strength/fortitude/agility to not be totally gimped in PvP. But now that everything is changed up, you kind of have to wing it.

Dont forget that was beta and this is about to be live.

Oh, I know. I'm not complaining or anything. Just means I need to experiment with different stuff all over again. Just a lot harder because if I join a tribe, I imagine they'll quickly get tired of me rerolling just to try out the difference between 20 Spirit and 80 Spirit.


And I'll need to experiment with different crafts and if it's still ' randomized ' versus persistently getting recipes.


Which presents another problem because, right now, I've got access to a junk pile. That access would quickly be lost if I rerolled and lost the totem. Plus with all the rollbacks recently, it'd probably be a moot point.

Broken, or it doesn't work like you think it does.

If you don't already know basket recipes, (I'm 99% sure) you aren't going to learn them from grindng. You are going to have to find them.

Baskets are a set, and you don't learn pieces from a set you don't already have one piece of. (hats, plates, and other exceptions exist)

Hmm. If that's true, then it means if you don't start with Basketry, or find the recipe, you're just not going to get them. Would be the same for weapons and bonecraft? Tools, I doubt, because you can easily grind variations of all those, so I think those would be an exception.

Architecture would be another exception?

[jumpshot]

As far as my understanding goes, tools don't have sets.

I'm not sure about Architecture, I dont think it has sets either but I've never ground it.

hmmmmm...thats scarey...I started as leather crafter and got the exact same recipies as non leather crafter...ie....no real patterns, just basics like heyburn pants, shirt, moccassin, tarp and straps O.O

I can't seem to learn any new recipes at all for basketry. I craft the whole time I'm online, and I've never even gained a single level. Back a few weeks ago I'd craft like six things and gain a level, all while learning about three new things to make. I've made about 30 hats, counting making the items necessary to make them, and I haven't learned anything, or made any progress on my basketry skill. I'd say they either changed it hardcore, or something isn't right with it.

I've gain and lost about 6 toolcraft recipes today thanks to rollbacks.
No levels gained in the skill at all, just making a ton of metal stakes.

Well in beta you started with some recipes that were parts of sets, thus unlocking those sets.

Now, for the most part, unless you chose Basketry as your main craft it is not like you have any recipes but The Basics. Thus you have no sets, thus you need to scav up a recipe to unlock a set.

That IS troubling that you haven't at least gained a skill point... I wonder what your stats are? And is this your main craft or a side craft? I don't know that stats affects the rate you learn skill points (or how), but I assume they do.

This would suck....

Can anyone confirm?
