Smithing is fun and intriguing to me, but if the modifiers aren't all that much, then I'll be OK with using loot drops or store bought weapons. Does anyone have numbers on these?
No on knows because it's quite useless. It takes ages to do it.
And you have good enough weapons already. I don't feel like I need much more power.
Crafting would allow you to make a different size of weapon. But to kill who? Most armies are made out of rookie troops.
Never encountered a full armored elite army like in Warband. I reached the point after 80h, where I drop the game because there is no challenge at all.
So Smithing is absolutely useless.
Do they exist? I found a Fine Eastern Lance twice so far and I simply thought it was it's name and not an index of quality. So when you make an item, you can indeed make a Fine/legendary sabre?
You can also max out the skills with some mods just to see what's about!
I was grinding it actually up to lvl85!!!
And what I discoverd, was that I will never ever have the pieces unlocked, so I unlocked them all with a mod.
But! Legendary comes at lvl280 or something. You will never reach that ever!
And there is no point! To kill what? Armies of peasants?
It seems you can roll every tier on item and it gets ridiculous pretty fast, also my typical misspell lol.
duno how it got so much speed tho it gets i think bugged on weapons whit switchable modes to two handed
I've been grinding smithing, and it takes a looong while to get over 250.
as of now, the "fine", "masterwork" and "legendary" attributes DON'T DO ANYTHING!!!
in crafting screen it shows that you can gain up to +4 bonus to between 1-5 stats, but when you exit the smithy screen and look at your inventory, the boosts don't stick.
This makes crafting essentially useless, not counting the niche part where you by chance get a tier 5 part early on and can make some good steel.
..or that you really want to make that customized great axe to fit your viking warrior.
Devs HAVE sped up the rate you unlock new parts, though, so that helps a bit.
If a dev is looking at this, you'd need to make crafting more useful, not by speeding up levelling, but by making stat buffs and penalties more common.

So like in real life?Never encountered a full armored elite army
So like in real life?
maybe not fully armored but still... Real life? I think you don't know what are you talking about!
Great battles were done not with just only peasants. Should I give you the Roman Empire Example? Or another 9999 examples?
Learn some history before posting nonsense.
Well the Roman Empire example is a tad different, since it was standardized and they were basically a professional army. However they would be equipped with standard and cheapest equipment. As always with military it is all about compromise. Also auxiliary troops, which made up another bulk, might have had different equipment. Regardless, professional army armour is likely most comparable to low-midtier armour in-game.
Now if we move towards the medieval times, which we seem to be in, the majority of armies where not professionals, they were indeed peasants with a high variation of equipment, especially armour (mostly none). There were soldiers and the personal houseguard, but naturally these only made up a small fraction of the army.
I just wanted to iterate on the issue of authenticity of armies full of plates. And yes, Kings often had their personal houseguard, however they called their lords into war, which recruited their soldiers from their fiefs i.e, peasants. There are many examples of professional armies, that are well equipped I agree, however those were mercenaries AND expensive. I agree their is an issue that money handling of lords is pretty crap and game mechanics really enforce that with constant war, no training mechanics and recruitment resources being the same for everyone and limited. This is an issue and a big one at that.Yes and kings will have always armies with peasants armed with forks right? In which world?
It depends how the armies were formed! In 14th century's europe they payed for well armed armies in order to push back the ottoman invasion!
They didn't always just fought with peasants untrained and unarmed. They would never win.
In fact in the majority of cases they won in inferiority using good tactics and well armed calvary. The knights etc.
What about making the game less boring? Do you want to charge your calvary on peasants forever?
Do you think the game is ok like this?
It doesn't make sense at all. It's all idiotic repetition of senseless battles against peasants and these Lords come again and again and again. At a certain point you wander yourself, what the hell am I doing here?
Like I said, Warband had almost the same problem, they didn't learn at all.
Cool, but the game isn't emulating the 14th century. It's a weird mix of emulating the fall of Rome and the 11th century. I see you constantly on the forums just ****ting them up, complaining, not suggesting anything and answering to posts with trivia not related to the original point.Yes and kings will have always armies with peasants armed with forks right?

Like I said, Warband had almost the same problem and now it's even worse and I don't think everything will be fixed. It will remained an incomplete game patched incorrectly and chaotically by the modding community.
