In Progress Legendary Smith not working for weapons with only 3 parts.

[KRBLACK]

Summary:
Legendary smith allows creating weapons of legendary quality. According to the patch notes any weapon with an average component tier of 4,5 or higher has a chance to be legendary with the perk.

However for weapons with only three components I can never get a legendary variant, even when using all tier V components.
I presume the game calculates the average component tier by simply dividing by 4, even when there is only 3 component slots.

The maximum average tier is then 3 * 5 / 4 = 3,75
This is enough for mastercrafted level, but not legendary. This is in line with observations after crafting dozens of weapons.

How to Reproduce:
Unlock legendary smith and give yourself 330 smith level.
Select any weapon category with 4 components all at tier V. Craft 50 items, and you will have legendary variants.

Select any weapon category with 3 components all at tier V. Craft 50 items, and you will have no legendary variants.

This. Not once did I manage to forge a legendary 2H axe, even though all parts were tier V. Mastery was the best ones.

I ran the game through a debugger and tested two-handed axes with all three Tier 5 pieces. In AdjustQualityRegardingDesignTier, the value for weaponDesign.UsedPieces.Count() is 4 and should be 3. Not sure why the guard is being counted, unless there is another bug the prevents that piece from being null and you're forced to use a placeholder.

Closed - Do smithing perks even work at all?

Summary: I have 3 family members with smithing above 200. My main char is level 255. I crafted hundreds of two handed axes but not a single weapon came out as masterly. The best I have seen so far is "high-quality" (in german localization it's "hochwertig"). I asked myself if chances are too low...
