BS Potential

Hi guys,
I have full tech BS with level 48 proficiency. However the potential that im getting for all the items that i craft is around 21-25 pot. What do i need to do to increase the potential?

 

Depends on what you're making, each gear type needs different stats to increase potential like str for 2 hand and vit for armor.

 

So i need to put points on other stat and mot just focus on tech?

 

More or less, but the problem is that you only get +1 potential for every 10 or so stats,(not really sure) so most just go for 10~20 stats in tech and then go full one stat.

 

Alrighty. Thanks a lot!

 

my suggestion make 1 pure tech bs for upgrade equipment and refine equipment (you can also put some alchemy skills) and 1 bs specialize in your main character's weapon class. visit my guide.. i hope it can help you.

 

im now doing the bs on my main char. also figured that i cannot reset the stat point too much orb needed xD
apreciate your help

 

Most people do a separate bs char. Best way to increase pot is to to put all stats into the primary for that bs type. Vit for armor, str for swords, dex for bows and 1h, etc.
The tech Smith is used for refining and upgrades, and usually ends up as your alchemist too.
Tons of good guides around. The guides forum has some useful links.

BTW easy to start new char for bs, just tedious to level them, since you need to do 'small articles' and similar quests to get their levels up.

 

Don't reset that BS character, he can be useful doing equipment upgrades, just make another one. Also if i may suggest, get the Alchemy tree for that Tec BS too.

 

Do I have to levelBS prof for refiner to be be better at refining, or just cap it?

 

Proficiency do not affect Refine Equipment

 

Quoting something I posted on a guide a little while ago:

For every smith (except Dex), I would suggest putting 20 points into Tec, leveling your smithing proficiency without Tec is nearly impossible (except for Dex smiths).

 

That would explain why my full Dex can make 44 pot bg but only 32 pot bows so it's pretty much impossible at the current cap to make a higher pot bow?

 

Sadly bow doesn't get as much pot as gun does, but if you used full dex gear, it might be higher, as I heard that affects it unless I'm mistaken

 

yes that what i did .

thanks.

 

Right, eventually we'll be able to have dual stat smiths when the level cap is high enough. When we can do that, we'll be able to make bows as well as we can make bowguns, but until then we'll have to deal with half the potential.
