Does which blacksmith you use have any effect on the outcome?

As an experiment, I crafted the same weapon 3 times, each time using a different tuning item: Initial weapon specs: Tulwar (Light Blade) 1 AP; 5 Accuracy, 6 Parry 31 - 45 Dmg; #1 Tulwar (Light Blade) + Bloodstone chain (+1 Accuracy, +10 Dmg) #2 Tulwar (Light Blade) + Wisewalk Boots (+2 Magical Dmg (Fire, Ice, Lit, Earth, Holy), +2 Fire Resist)) #3 Tulwar (Light Blade) + Dawn Band (+2 Dmg, 2% Critical) All 3 crafts resulted in the same weapon: Tulwar (Light Blade) 1 AP; 6 Accuracy, 6 Parry 31 - 48 Dmg; +18 Lightning Dmg, 6% SPDrain I'm just wondering if this is behaving as expected? ... I was expecting 3 different results as the tuning items were quite different. On a side note, I did get an awesome bow in another craft!  |

Nathan - that is definitely a possible result, just a certain set of dice rolls. I would try to get tuning items that are more specific. One note, Weapons never add +Accuracy or +Dmg, because those stats in in the weapon. So, a lot of the tuning you provided was not used (all +Accuracy and +Dmg). I have made some changes to the tuning algorithm and what it does if there is a tuning item that doesn't really match any of the results. I would not expect it to repeat the 3 x +18 Lit Dmg Tulwars after next update.

Thanks for the "note" - I assumed Dmg wouldn't do anything and would just be ignored, but I thought the Accuracy might. It's good to know that both do nothing on weapons.
I was hoping the % critical would have come off the last item. I guess that was just the roll of the dice..?
Looks like I need to play around with it more.

Greetings! Thanks for the great games you are making. I'm not sure if it was a bug or not, but after last "crafting" update to Android version monsters and crystals "refreshed", some chests too. My party was defending Gnolla Outlook in EP2 at the time. Since it my first playthrough I'm not sure, maybe it's meant to be this way. Anyways, crafting looks promising: I've already created a badass bow for Tamilin. Came in handy with the boss fight at Gnolla |

It is likely coincidence. There are several areas that respawn as the story progresses. Gnolla Outlook is one. I am on Android as well, and didn't notice an abnormal respawn.

Respawns like that are caused by story progress.

Thanks so much. I finally got a new computer after the last one fried, with all my HoS saves gone. So I have to start all over anyways, and this is the perfect time to start again! |

Is it possible to collect 2 bloodstones before confronting the great shaman at the end of the first act? Just curious as I had one, yet it seemed like a logical point at which you would have your first opportunity to craft. Wondering if I missed one, though I would be surprised as I tend to be thorough in uncovering the map.

But then, after looking at the E1 maps, I think the answer is "no, its not." I have taken a to-do list item to add more Bloodstones in the early game. I think you are right -- from a quick look, there is only 1 Bloodstone in all of E1A1. Crazy! Lots more Moonstones. A great new reward to sprinkle places, now that they have a purpose. |
