Blacksmith Full Detail

Can i still put the stat on my own althou im not a bs? Or i need to make a bs character to do that?

 

you need a bs (the upgrade equipment skill is production skill)

 

I see, well thanks! Thats solved all my problem now, thank you

 

1 int cost 5 potential, matk1% cost how many potential?

 

10 iirc

 

really? someone just told me its 20pot each 1%

 

10 for weapon, maybe 20 for armor

 

int5 matk2% -accuracy2% , need how many pot to make this?

 

Thread is quite long.. can someone help me understand the purpose of potential? Really appreciate it.. ^,^

 

Waaaaah to much information x.x btw, thanks for the GREAT Guide !!! it's so complete, and thanks for the information gived in te comments (was to much to read it all xD) so, now, if i understand right, Tech increase the proficiency lvl like an extra lvl with 2 Tech points, Difficult is still confusing me,

i know the more Diff has an item, the more hard will be to craft it, but if i go for Tech, then it will be easier to make it?
Having more Diff points make higher Diff items easier to craft?
how about the % to get items with 1 or 2 slot?
i'm a bit confused with all the information gived in the thread, sry if it was mentioned ><

Edit: what stat do i need to make a high pot dagger? and accesories? (special) :3

 

This is a great guide to cover the basic concepts of smithing, I have a little something to add to it.

When it comes to the potential of weapons by stat there is actually a bit more info to it than just 10 Stats : 1 Potential. There are single stat equips that this does apply to, but there are also dual stat equips that get half of their potential from one stat and half from another (so they get 20:1 from two different stats). Below is a break down of all of the information I have gathered about potential by equip.

Single stat equips:
Armor - 10 Vit : 1 Pot
Bowgun - 10 Dex : 1 Pot
Knuckles - 10 Agi : 1 Pot
Staff - 10 Int : 1 Pot
Two-Hand Sword - 10 Str : 1 Pot

Dual stat equips:
Bow - 20 Dex : 1 Pot, 20 Str : 1 Pot
Magic Device - 20 Int : 1 Pot, 20 Agi : 1 Pot
One-Hand Sword - 20 Dex : 1 Pot, 20 Str : 1 Pot

 

Another additional information is that when upgrading equipment (consuming pot..) you need to note that:

For armor: Upgrading attack stats in armor will cause double potential to be consumed (compared to wpns)
Upgrading stats for armor stays the same. (Try comparing other upgrades to verify!)
Upgrading same stat tree will also give --pot penalties

This means that att+1% in armor will consume 20 pot than 10 pot in wpn
Also if you upgrade str+6 then that means upgrading int+6 (in same equip) will produce penalty in POT
of the equip.

For damage purposes in crafting take note that:

1.)Att%, Matk%
2.)Main stat (flat)
3.)Crit chance (for non mages)
4.)Main stat (%) ==== 5.)Aspd (for 1h, arch and knucks) =====6.) Crit damage %
7+.)The rest are flat atk, flat crit and stability
(pierce is hard to verify since i have no way of knowing what amt. of armor each boss have and dodge and stuf)

the reason crit dmg is lower in the tier is, att% can already increase base dmg so why increase c.dmg??
unless u have high crit chance already (like jamadhar on knuck) crit damage will be outclassed by
flat main stat and att/matk%

main stat% is also low since they consume too much POT, numbers 1-3 are still ur best bet
main stat 1% is double that of flat stats in consuming POT

means for 186 stat points, per 1% u get 1.86 main stat or roughly 2 pts right?
we can get 2pts on main stat if we choose flat stats instead....
note that main stat% max add is 4% and flat stats add 6pts most,
then theoretically we can get more stats on main stats% than flat stats but,
remember att/matk% is still the best option.. so why consume sacrifice POT for mainstat%?

the only time main stat% would be good is getting the 3rd option as a negative stat something like
att4%mainstat4% then a negative option

you can add crit flat or aspd% if u have little POT left in your gear.

done a few minor calculations basing on normal hits and astute skill (~600% dmg on swdie) and found that
cdmg adds a little more than half of what flat main stat and atk/matk gives.


/The numbers tell the increase in dps when putting options on all gear/
given that main option for weapons is atk/matk% and crit chance in armors.

 

Also a pure Tech smith gets a bunch more potential by adding negative stats than any other smith. I haven't worked with the numbers, but I know my Dex smith could only add 4 potential with -4% HP Regen, but my Tech smith gets 18 potential from the same stat.

 

Very nice observation! D
probably because hp% regen and dodge (and similar option tree) are meant for
options in armor, will try exploring it later in armors..

this way as tech smiths we can still put powerful options on LOW POT gear!

(ok ppl, give us more spina, srsly!)

 

Hi. I made a BS just now with my other account.

I want to know how fast can i level up my prof lvl with a pure tech BS?

And what skills should I level up?

 

go for refine skills only if you are a tech smith.
you really dont need to level proficiency since youll be able to make all
gear anyway on high tec (but low pot lol)

some players use stat reset book when making a tec smith
its like level 1-66 mage char w lvl 10 wall lvl 5 magic charge (would take 20 skill pts)
then reset after they maxed the level

some go for boosting services or small article quests but both are spina consuming
so its up to you

also by getting only the skills for refining and upgrading gear, you can make tec/alche
cos u'll have so much skill pts left rly.

 

With a full tech bs, how long does it take to have a high level of prof. Lets say lvl50 prof?

 

This may originally had - stats of it. But failed so sometimes it takes off the add of negative stat. Happens to me sometimes.

 

Like this, I started with -4% HP Regen and failed my upgrade.
