Crafting components and quality

You are correct, currently the only things that affect the quality of the finished item is the ore qual and the tool used to craft. I am pretty sure that further down the line all component stats will be used to calculate the final product quality. Even now there is still scope to improve quality by taking things to the extreme, try crafting a gleamsteal BS hammer, then use this to make another and you will notice your latest BS hammer is slightly improved still. Then when crafting your weapons you will get that small increase to the end product. When you add in craft specific perks you can dramtically increase the output quality as well as reducing fail rates, so the earlier you improve your tool quality the better.

Resources …. Please do not read if you are the kind that likes to discover things on your own..

Oak trees, I have not looked for them until tonight. Found my first one on Pirate Island , the little island in the middle of all the main Islands.
Oak tree = 50 unit resources
weight = 1.15
quality = 1.00
cond = 1.1

At least this is what I came across..

On North Vynn I found most of the lower quality trees , but also found maple and I am guessing Sequoia trees but at skill level 66 I could not chop down this one.
Maple = 50 unit resources
weight = 1.20
quality = 1.10
cond. = 1.0

Also worth mentioning lumberjack perks can affect the weight and quality of the wood you harvest. If you would like to publish data there is a wiki being created, which is probably a more appropriate place for such information as its easer to browse. Also in future tool quality will affect the harvest quality of materials.
With regards to harvest skills there is a simple corralation between skill level and what you can harvest, pear can be harvested from 0 skill but with fails, right up to Myrtle which requires 100 skill to avoid failures. It is much the same as mining the different ore types. Different trees yeild different quantities of wood, age does not matter only type.
While posting specific data is nice, it is variable depending on perk choices. You can happily achieve max skill in every gathering skill without leaving the start island, the only crafting proffesion i have found that requires specific materials is jewelcrafting and I have posted details on this elsewhere.

Hey bro ( Farouc) see your up early .

Hello Tablix , thanks for the information , I am sure my brother didn’t mean anything negative , its just that we don’t feel like we have been very welcome by the forum community. But no big thing.

As to the wiki we have looked at it. And may decide to help with it, We still have much to learn about the game. As well as we enjoy doing our own thing , we make no secret of that. Just meaning we are putting together a community website of our own. We both see much potential in this virtual world. And are looking at it as a future hobby where much time will be invested.

With regards to mapping the world, the dev’s plan to update the map in game “in the future” so hopefully this will help you with your research.
Tab could you expand on this statement please.

I have heard everything from the world is going to change to well ???

I can see more land mass being added , some more islands , and polish; and then who knows if the game kicks butt at launch..:)
But at this point the largest land mass ( West Vynn) is void of working objects. And the world as a whole has many things to fix. All I am saying is I have heard other players say they think the world is going to change completely. Well never say never I guess , but being in the industry and being an artist that creates these in game props , .ie everything from character creation to the buildings and trees plants that you see. I just don’t see that happening. All objects must be placed and tested , ie the open beta. Can different maps (land masses) be created at the blink of the eye , sure. Will these function as needed , nope. not without much work. I tell ya I don’t envy the coders , they have their job cut out for them. Object item placement , making sure things work as needed, that ya just can’t walk through a wall , or that a creature isn’t floating in the air, etc etc etc. sorry did not mean to rant on , what I am saying is the world you see is the world that will be in game. Much polished and functioning correctly we all hope . But this will pretty much be the world of Dawntide..

And I think they have created a beautiful virtual world, hope to see more…

Thanks Tab,

I too think the island idea is unique and may offer more flexibility than other games have had. I think it is a great concept. But I think where it will come in handy is in the expansion when needed. All in game objects have coordinates to which they are set too. along with pages of code to determine how they function in game. static objects , roaming objects etc, I am guessing I am not saying anything you don’t already know. However that being said the only way I can see this game being different when they go live is if they have an instance of this world running behind closed doors so to speak. But thats another can of worms, lol. And being this is a small dev team I doubt it.

What I would think possible at launch would be a few more islands possibly still under construction , and of course polish of existing content..

Don’t get me wrong I think it is a great game, very unique in certain ways , beautiful art for a MMO, a well thought out crafting system, with unlimited possibilities.

Oh and bye the way I am much happier that we are all communicating on a civilized level , thanks
