Patch Notes

Crafting XP

• [p]We’ve made a major pass on crafting XP across Blacksmithing, Weaponsmithing, Armorsmithing, Tailoring, and Leatherworking.[/p][/*]
• [p]Crafting XP is now based on the materials and effort required to make an item, resulting in more consistent XP gains across all recipes within a profession.[/p][/*]
• [p]Finished items now grant significantly more XP than before.[/p][/*]
• [p]Component crafting often grant less XP than before.[/p][/*]

• [p]Failing a recipe now grants up to 4× more XP than before.[/p][/*]
• [p]Trivial recipes now grant 3× more XP than before. (Applies to all professions.)[/p][/*]

Recipes

• [p]Armor recipe difficulty has been rebalanced within each Tier to provide meaningful crafting choices for multiple equipment slots throughout progression.[/p][/*]
• [p]The difficulty gap between Common, Uncommon, and Rare armor pieces now scales more smoothly at higher Tiers. Early Tiers retain larger difficulty differences, while higher Tiers offer closer difficulty between rarities.[/p][/*]
• [p]Material costs for two-handed weapons (including staves) have been slightly increased, and these items now grant higher XP rewards.[/p][/*]
• [p]Reduced Charcoal cost for smelting Steel to 150.[/p][/*]
• [p]Increased material costs for Tier 1 Uncommon (green) armor pieces.[/p][/*]
• [p]Adjusted stack sizes to fix most cases where crafted outputs took up more inventory space than their ingredients, reducing inventory issues during craft-all actions.[/p][list]
• [p]See detailed list of stack changes below.[/p][/*]

• [p]Limestone Pillars and other reinforcement pieces now grant more stability than Limestone Walls.[/p][/*]

• [p]Iron Battleaxes just need ( 2 ) ⇒ 1 Axe Blade, same as Wrought Iron and Steel[/p][/*]
• [p]Bronze Pickaxe needs ( 1 ) ⇒ 2 Bronze Bars and Long Wood Stock instead of Sapwood.[/p][/*]
• [p]Iron Mace needs ( 1 ) ⇒ 2 Iron Ingots[/p][/*]
• [p]Iron Greatmaul needs ( 6 ) ⇒ 3 Iron Ingots and ( 2 ) ⇒ 3 Iron Spikes[/p][/*]
• [p]Steel Chopping Axe no longer requires Linseed Oil but now requires 10 Wrought Iron Nails.[/p][/*]
• [p]Also, all of these example recipes already require a shaft which require leather bands so the recipe for the tool or weapon doesn’t also require additional leather bands.[/p][/*]
• [p]XP Multipliers recalculated according to changes above (roughtly anywhere between a +/- 5% change a part from a couple of outliers).[/p][/*]

Component Recipe Size Increases

• [p]Updated default size of many component recipes[/p][/*]
• [p]These changes were made with the goal of striking a balance where; a) They are meaningful time-savers for active crafters who need to mass produce components b) They do not create friction for newer players and their initial crafting c) They do not accidentally introduce new bottlenecks (for example, being unable to process materials because you cannot meet a new minimum batch size of materials).[/p][/*]
• [p]We initially tested larger sizes of these on PTS but following your feedback we tuned them back down and hopefully found the right balance point that will satsify most players.[/p][/*]

• [p]By "same ratio" we mean that the cost of the material produced is the same.[/p][/*]
• [p]If a recipe says 1 ⇒ 2 it means that it now produces 2 components instead of only 1[/p][list]
• [p]The material cost of the recipe has doubled and the recipe gives twice as much XP than otherwise.[/p][/*]
