Items

After evaluating player feedback from the last patch, the following changes are being made:

• Weapon damage and delay have been increased. All weapons will now hit harder and be slightly slower than before.
• As the rarity of a weapon increases, it will become both stronger and faster than other similar weapons of the same level. This is in addition to any bonus stats that the weapon possesses.
• Common weapons now have slight improvements to their damage values at higher levels.
• All level requirements are being removed from all equipped items.
• Additional uncommon and rare items are in the process of being added to adventuring encounters throughout the game world.

Determining Item Rarity

• Common items drop from most humanoid NPCs and do not have bonus stats. These may sometimes include cosmetic versions (e.g., frostbitten weapons or fadetorn armor). These items are intended primarily for salvaging or selling but may be used as equipment if nothing better is available.
• Uncommon items may drop from many normal (non-named) NPCs. These items will have bonus stats and will generally offer better base stats than Common items in the same level range.
• Rare items drop from named NPCs. These items will often have substantially higher base stats than Common or Uncommon items in the same level range and will also carry bonus stats. There are multiple degrees of rarity - the most powerful rare items are also the hardest to obtain.

Crafting - General

Equipment crafting is being adjusted for EA to align with the rarity-based approach outlined above:

• Low-level crafters will be able to make Common-quality equipment (without bonus stats) by purchasing schematics from a vendor, as today.
• Rare crafting components and schematics will be obtainable via faction vendors (with the appropriate faction) or as drops from named NPCs.
• The most powerful crafted items will require a combination of dropped schematics as well as dropped/quested or factional components and materials to create, in addition to gathered rare resources.
• Additional rare items and rare crafting materials, components, and schematics will be added to the game on an ongoing basis.
• Celestium Dust is no longer used as an optional material in component crafting. It is now a required material for creating uncommon- and rare-quality crafted components and items.

Gathering

• Celestium Dust may now be gathered from gathering nodes of all sizes and levels.
• The drop rate for Celestium Dust has been slightly increased.
