[1.2.0-1.4.3] Some crafted weapons prices are huge (depends on parts)

[mishelle89]

I found some crafting parts makes weapon overpriced (50-100k). I have example in save file, but I have no idea how I can attach it to post.
Also crafting process with these parts gains a lot of XP (crafting skill increased by ~20 for 1 weapon) and lots of recipes (10-20).
And also I guess damage is very high (~160).
Image with cheat part attached. It is two haded sword blade. But I saw also two handed axe with same effects.
It's an old issue, but I didn't find it in solved or known

smithing being broken is known to devs

Do you mean smithing in general?

I mean being able to make absurd amounts of money on smithing certain weapons with certain parts

This has actually been a problem since the game first came out in early access. The price of the weapon tends to be tied to the tier of the weapon. The tier of the weapon from what I can tell is tied to the damage the weapon does. The star falcion bladed 2 handed weapon you pictured is one of the most damaging weapons in the game, so it's tier 6 and lotsa money/xp/part unlocks. The harpoon head and any handle for a javelin is also very popular to level smithing and unlock parts because it's exceedingly cheap to make/Tier 6.....you get the picture. They will eventually get into smithing I would imagine. Not sure what they can do with the harpoon head. Has to be easy to make because the sea raiders use it, but have to wonder why sea raiders dont just sell overpriced javelins lol
Another thing about javelins that makes me think the Devs haven't had a chance to look into smithing yet is there is a handle that costs 0 resources to make. Think it's the ash handle. It's the one in the middle. So, if you have the harpoon head discovered and that handle you can make one with 1 iron, 1 charcoal and it sells (depending on your actual smithing level) for the max 100k+. Reason I think this illustrates the devs haven't had time to dig into smithing yet is because it should be relatively easy to make the handle cost 1 wood.

Does anybody know when DEVs planing to solve balancing issues like this?

 

[mishelle89]

You need to host the image on a site like imgur.com (free), then it will give you a 'direct link' to paste into an image tag in your post on the forum.
