Noob Question

is it possible to have a character that is both an alchemist and a bs at the same time ??
also how hard is it to level up to 40, since they arent fighters?

 

Alchemist+Tech bs is totally possible.
sadly a Tech bs can only make low pot gear

 

Alchemists can be refiners & statters at the same time, but not equipment crafters until endgame. To craft weapons you need a different blacksmith with all points in the stat respective to the equipment you want to craft, instead of full TEC as alche/refiner/upgrader. And it isn't hard to get it to 40 if you ask your guildies to power-level you at Nightmare Roars.

 

^there, much more accurate than anything I could ever write in English >~>

 

thanks ^^ im still kinda confused so its possible but not recommended? would it be better to create two seperate characters in that case?

 

Depends on what you want to do with your BS. Do you want to create weapons, or, do you want to add stats to existing weapons and refine them?

 

which one is better/more profitable?? sorry i know absolutely nothing about crafting hah

 

Idrk since I've never liked the BS play-style to make spina. Probably @Norcelia can help you with that question.

I just know that as a weapon upgrader (adding stats) you need to be constantly farming small mobs to process materials which can become pretty tedious. As a refiner you risk spina if you fail and that can be sometimes frustrating. As a crafter you need tons of crafts to raise your proficiency level and tons of failures (too much storage space too), it is the longest path of all.

 

I would make a DEX BS as your first BS. If you do that then you can make Bows, Bowguns, and Swords. It's also the easiest made Blacksmith because Dex already raises difficulty. The second most profitable / expensive to make is a VIT BS.

I own 3 blacksmiths currently and I'm experienced when making em. So I can answer some of your questions on regulars Blacksmiths if you want :3

 

thank you guys so much ^^ it sounds kinda difficult ngl but all good
ill try out the dex bs first. (can i do alchemy as well?) does that mean stat points be distributed equally between tec and dex ??

 

It's possible to do that, but usually a Dex Blacksmith with have all Dex until it's 255. Then they will probably add in Tech or another stat.
Meaning it usually takes 2 character slots and I rarely see any Hybrids of an Alchemist and Dex Blacksmith.

 

yeah i decided to use two character slots instead, thanks do you think its alright start vit blacksmith instead, id like to craft armor
and as for stat points, dex or whatever until 255, then tec?

 

Sure. You can make a Vit BS first, but I recommend you make it dex then switch it. If you do that then you can make high difficult items and gain prof faster. After you gain enough switch stats using a book or orbs. It's easier. Make your Vit bs all VIT until it hits max stat points, 255. Then go into either Dex or Tech. Dex raising difficulty and Tech raising success rate. ( pretty sure )

 

i see, thanks so much )

 

@RPG_Neko SORRY JUST ONE MORE QUESTION
why should i start dex? like how is dex going to give me more high difficulty items and why is that beneficial?

 

Dex just raises difficulty. Difficulty is what lets you make better equipment. The higher the difficulty the more potential you get with higher ATK. ( potential is what allows you to stat equipments. However, it will only raise if you make a equipment based on your stat. So you would only have high potential on Dex Equipements and not Str or Int if you where making a Dex Blacksmith. To confusing? )

Edit: I MESSED UP EXPLAINING. HOLD ON. I'll REPLY BACK LATER...

 

NO I UNDERSTAND, dex bs seems like the easier option because dex itself raises difficulty. sooo ive made a dex bs and maybe later ill use restat book, not sure yet, thanks a lot!

 

Was gonna say...

Switching to vit after dex was a better option if you made a vit bs since you raise the difficulty and raises prof level faster. Then once your prof level is 65+ you can switch to vit...

What I said in my previous comment was if you wanted to make a dex bs.
