New BP crafting, Step in the right direction??

BackOfRackhams · September 2018

Ok let me know if I am reading the correct.

We will be able to craft items with BPs and some ingredients.

If this is the case then , thank you Broadsword. I like to whine but this is a very good move from my perspective (if true) as I don't do pve.

Might add, will this include every item??

This is the list we sneak peek we had in the newsletter, minus a couple that wouldn't fit in screenshot (Curse Gloves/Sleeves), so it's not every item in the game, but pretty much all the high end items.

This is going to be awesome! Spent 5+ hours yesterday ranking up Alchemy specifically for the Cauldrons

Westies · September 2018

I thought I read that you only need lvl 1 in the new BP crafting. But either way .. this is good.

Carol_Broadsword · September 2018

Cauldron's are separate from the BP list, 2 sneak peeks in there. BP crafting only requires skill level 1 in Bountycraft.

Cauldrons in Alch require 1100 skill

@Carol_Broadsword is the team still deciding what the material list is going to consist of for crafting cauldrons? I can understand if it'll be similar to the respected draught formulas; however, even those are in small supply in the current market.

Pretty much the same, just higher quantities

You should consider adding a recipe that takes existing pots and combines them into a cauldron.

Any hint to the BP cost of crafting something like shown here? The new BP cap is 500k. Are these items going to cost a large portion of that in BPs? Hopefully with the cap being in place and forcing people to spend/lose BPs before these hit we'll see a lower cost to them.

They probably will cost a decent amount of BP's to craft I'd assume, especially since they're changing like 7+ quests and adding in events to earn much more BP's in NF then before.

Carol_Broadsword · September 2018

They'll vary, like Frozen items will be more expensive and such.

Armarnidi · September 2018

@Carol_Broadsword if the cauldron are going to cost more essence maybe you guys should look at upping the current drop rate of the supremacy and celerity essences

I just hope they aren't going to cost 400k of the 500k BP cap. If thats the case the cap doesn't make sense.

True, I can see some of the rare Frozen items costing maybe 250k to craft. So in a full BP cap you can craft 2 frozens, which is reasonable those items are incredibly rare.

Dantes · September 2018

I play on Gaheris and have a question regarding BP earnings and caps.
I feel like RR14s are in a bad situation with these changes. Once a character has reached RR14, there's no value to turning in Dreaded seals for RPs. My crafters are all RR14. So my only option is to turn-in Dreaded seals for bounty points and the RPs are wasted. This feels like a massive loss.

What do you think?

Gavner · September 2018

@Amp_Phetamine While some of us talked about this matter elsewhere, and no offical or unchangeable numbers out there yet, If we make 250k bp items, it again only benefits the playerbase that already have usefull characters with up to date template, while the reasoning should be to help newcome or returning players obtain these items also, who don't have experiance, or friends to ever complete these Raids. 250k for me way too high for that, consider that most players would also need more of these items if they dont have already finished characters. People who couldn't do all Raids to get every item neccesary to complete a competitive template won't be able to farm like 700k bp for every item neccesary. Also it's not tradeable, again, who wants to farm that ammount of BPs to temp an alt in crap gear. The same person who already can afford to temp anyway, to get bps efficently, I hope the costs will be reasonable enough to really help new players, not the ones whos fine already now too.

With the existence of aurulite gear (having identical stats/procs), frozen items are largely a cosmetic choice and not intended for new/returning players.

Juzzo · September 2018

Those cauldrons should not take more then 3 essences to make. I know if they cost 4 or more I won't but hosing myself out of charges to make them.

Gavner · September 2018

@Koredan Right I missed the frozen part, cosmetic change can cost whatever, my point is still that I hope (not cosmetic) neccesary items wont cost fortunes that a new player would probably never get.

That's a fair point. It would be kind of pointless, regardless of what the BP cap is, if the items cost so much in BP anyways that new players would be better off running the pve quests for em and struggle for just as long to template as they currently do.

Everyone should be able to make a ton of these items, and for far less bp then you’d think. Especially when they are bound to said player.
