Edge Crafting - help with how it works needed

[Vyse]

Hi

Can anyone clarify how edge creation works please. I have canvased players in game who have good edges and from what I have learnt you need:

-----------
1 x Weapon template
This is the baseline item to make the weapon, they are currently valued around 30 mill
-----------
Gold (Up to 100 mil)
Every 10 mil increases the success chance by 10% to a max of 100 mill/100%
-----------
Orbs/trinkets/cubes
You need at least 1 of each coloured orb to apply to the weapon, you can add as many orbs as you like up to a max of 5000

100 orbs can be converted to a trinket and you can use up to 5000 (the equivalent of 500,000 orbs)
100 trinkets can be converted to a cube and you can use up to 5000 (the equivalent of 50,000,000 orbs)

-----------

Where I am confused is what the orbs do, the NPC says nothing about it and all the players I have asked advised to just use 1 trinket in each slot as the chance is completely random but my experience this weekend has shown either my luck has been poor or something isn't right.

I have crafted 2 edges, 1 assassin and 1 warrior and both were quite possibly the worst weapons I have seen which is more than a little annoying given cost wise it's cost me over 250 mil.

I'm with you on the weapons being the worst stats possible for the money involved. When i talked to people though ' oh thats just the gamble you take ' .. Hell ****ing no, not for 100mill it's not, i expected more. The Luck + 2 base was the only saving grace for me, being able to achieve luck 9/10 easier on my taoist.

The warrior edge I rolled was so epic I will share the stats:

Mana+42
Acc+3
Strength +2
Exp +7%
Gold +6%
Mana +4%

Wonderful for my warrior who always needs that extra mp...

100 trinkets can be converted to a cube and you can use up to 5000 (the equivalent of 50,000,000 orbs)

You can only Use 1 Of each Colour,

Max = 6 Orbs
Max = 6 Trinkets = 600 Orbs
Max = 6 Cubes = 600 Trinkets = 360,000 Orbs

Thanks for the clarity on this Jamie.

Are you able to elaborate on what the orbs do as part of the process? I would guess that it's something along the lines of:

Orbs Low chance of good weapon
Trinkets Medium chance of good weapon
Cubes Good chance of good weapon

It would be nice to know, whilst it probably won't chance peoples approach from using trinkets due to the orbs being relatively hard to farm in great quantities the clarity on the system may help people especially if we know to a granular level such as red is good for HP/DC etc, this will allow us to prioritise say getting a red cube but maybe only using trinkets in the others because all we care about is HP/DC.

Max = 6 Cubes = 600 Trinkets = 360,000 Orbs

Wrong maths Jamie, you did it as if each cube was 600 trinkets.

1x100x100x6= 60,000 total orbs.

I want my carrot!

d/w, i've shadowbanned him for not understanding you were merely giving him the chance to be better.

To be fair he does need a carrot as a reward. After all I'd rather people not post false information. Negative point for Jamie.

For the money I think they should be base luck+1 at least, I rolled the shitest one ever I think, low HP, low MP, no SP+, no luck+, no ele+, no crit+... or give the option to reroll for 50m or something

 

[Skyline]

What drops the templates?
Just bosses?

there shouldn't be base luck or anything,
you aren't forced to create these weapons, and if you do RNG makes you it's bitch when you hit that button to create your weapon.

My weapon rolled dog crap, but that's the way it happens, my second wep wasn't as bad.


I like the idea of a re-roll but i feel it should be a case of 10-100mill for 10-100% chance of the re-roll to be successful.

So... I'm still confused and only just returned since this was added.

You need -
Weapon Template - Drops from ALL mobs witin Lost Lands
Orbs - You can either use the orbs, or upgrade these orbs to trinkets and use these OR upgrade the trinkets to Cubes and use these?
Gold - You can use anything from 10-100mil?

Is there a success / fail rate, as in you can fail to even craft a weapon?
Or is it just a case of the more orbs/trinks/cubes and gold you use, the better chance of decent stats?

Pretty spot on there.

1 Orb of each colour = 6 rolls
1 Trinket of each colour = 12 rolls
1 Cube of each colour = 18 rolls

1 Trinket = 100 Orbs
1 Cube = 100 Trinkets

Each 10m is 10% success chance. 100m = 100%.
