Questions regarding blacksmithing

If I want to create a blacksmith and alchemist at the same time and I want to be able to create all types of equipments of equal standard, no matter good or bad(there shouldn't be inequality like for example my blacksmith creates better staff then other equipments etc) would it be a good idea to max tech?

 

yes, if u dont care about potential.

 

If u do that, all ur equipments will have bad pot.. its btr to focus on one type of equipment..so that, atleast 1 type of equipment will have good pots

 

@OmegaEH
Let me give u an example from ur example
Suppose ur blacksmith can make btr staff than other equipments (int smith)
The swords that u will make while being an "int smith" will have the same pots that u will get while being a "tech Smith"..

 

Oh, but I did say I want all equipments to be of equal level. I am kind of new to building a blacksmith character, can you tell me more about what potential does? Then if I want staff to be good, do I max intelligence and don't put any in tech stat? If I do that, will it affect the other equipments that I make?

 

1)Potential is something that can be exchanged for stats..
More pot=more powerful stats u can input.

2)Yes, for good "staff/md " u have to go full int.

3)No, putting "int"= making ur staffs n mds stronger.. and it will not effect other equipments at all.

(Btw all that tech will do for ur blacksmith is increase ur prof n success rate, it will not make any equipment stronger or have more pot than usual)

 

Potential is needed to add good stats to a weapon
It works this way
Pure str= high pot 2h/1h/bow
Pure dex= high pot bg/1h/bow
Pure int= high pot staff/md
Pure agi= high pot knuckles/md
Pure vit= high pot armor
High pot is needed to add good stats for example
C1010107 on bg needs just 25pot
While c10cd104atk7%(which is the better stat out of two) needs 53pot for 100% success.
27 is base pot of anniv bg so no matter what bs you are if success it will have 27 pot.
But for dex bs it gives 1pot/10base dex that means at 250dex the bs can craft bg with 27+25=52minimum pot
So its impossible to make a bs that can make everything equally unless you want to make a pure tech bs.
Pure tech bs is needed to add stats to those plain bg by consuming the pot and also for refining.
Pure tech can add stats on anything not any difference for different weapon/armor.
Or if you still want to make crafter bs you should try making dex bs you can make bg/bow/1h 3 weapons with it that too with high success/pot.

 

53 pot= 98%
54 pot= 100%
iirc

 

Ya what he said

 

Thanks a lot^^ so I should change my personal stat to luck stat for better success rate?

 

C1010107?

 

no
LUK= increases drop rate
TEC/tech= increases success rate

Q: What is a successful weapon?
Ans: An equipment with same or more atk/def than the base atk/def (of that equipment)

 

So you are saying that having a max tech will be able to create equip with higher atk or def?

 

Tech simply make chances of your created equipment failing less likely. (failure of equipment creation results into getting an Atk and/or Potential value that is below the default base Atk and/or Potential of the equipment made)

But that's not the point of Tec Smiths, their strong points are being able to turn the Potential into a desired custom stats on your equipment, AND having higher success rate in refining.

 

Nope..
Tech doesn't make ur equipments stronger. It only helps keep the atk/def same or higher than the base atk/def

Full tech is only used by full time refiner (& stater)

 

Ya, that's what I am asking, whether maxing tech create equipments with higher base attack or defense, guess it did.

 

The amount of extra atk/def you gain after crafting is totally random it doesnt depend on what stat you maxed the only thing that depends on max stats is pot

 

Ah.. Its 99% so yep but i think we can try gambling 1%

 

Create equipments with Higher base atk/def???
I am sure that u have a wrong idea about what a base atk/def is....

If u check the picture below↓
U will see that the base atk (mentioned near the bottom) of this sword is 94. And that will never ever change. It doesn't matter if u get "Black sword of Delusion" from boss drop, blacksmith shops or player made. The base atk of "Black sword of Delusion" will always be 94.
Now if u check the atk of my sword, u will see that the atk is 99 (base atk+5). This doesn't vary on any stat or personal stat that u have on ur character. ATK of an equipment is completely random.

Atk/def of equipment= base atk/def + (+n / 0 / -n)
