If your recipe has 4 slots then you can essentially get 4 additional upgrades by included the items in the crafting recipe. Yes this is exactly the same as upgrading the item after it has been crafted. Make an iron sword normally, make an iron sword with an additional iron in there. These are things you can easily test if you want. Unfortunately if you want to make the best weapon possible you'll need to make sense of the GameFAQs threads: I wonder if difficulty and the hidden rarity value are both related to this. Perhaps there are other variables at stake.

Do they? All I've noticed is that the higher the number, the higher the RP cost.

The combined ingredient levels have reached the next 'tier,' thus improving the stats.

I'd always wondered about that myself, and with the new knowledge gained here, I'm going to guess that this is a result of point 2.

If your forging or crafting is at level 50 or above, your weapons and armor will have boosted stats which increase at certain tiers measuring the combined level of the ingredients used in creation and upgrading.

You know, given list? Written in that thread? In the first few posts? Those items are implied by the list to be 'special' by having unique effects when used as extra ingredients in crafting. Extra items apply hidden effects as per the given list of special items.

Apparently everyone's in desperate need of their precious props, so you get AOL screen name credits littering paragraphs already chock full of acronyms and lingo.įrom my read-through of the numerous posts across the forum thread (because it's too bad GameFAQs doesn't host FAQs for games anywhere), I got these answers: The other one was too confusing, because it delved into too much errant gibberish about TLU and TDU. That much is implied by the thread on GameFAQs and is practical for players.

When the aggregate level reaches certain quantities, the stats of the item are boosted. As far as I know, adding more items increases a hidden value that counts up the levels of all ingredients used in an item.

How come when I use an old weapon to upgrade a new one I gain no stat benefits?īefore today, I didn't even know you could use extra ingredients in crafting. What does the difficulty beside an ingredient's stats mean? Some ingredients only add a little RP cost, while others add thousands, when they're similar in difficulty. I've noticed sometimes I add a crafting ingredient and it gives the weapon far more stats than it says it should, while others give the exact amount. What benefit does using a level 10 crafting ingredient over a level 1 serve? The whole system is so complicated, and I haven't had much prior experience with rune factory games (not enough to where I cared about stat crunching)įor example, If I made a sword but added an extra iron ore into the crafting recipe, would that give me the same benefits that upgrading it afterwards with the same item would? (In other words, does adding extra stuff at the beginning just give you more available chances to raise the stats?) To hide spoilers use the following format (remove spaces). Don't call people names or make personal attacks. Please be polite and respectful to others.
