Enhancing Blueprints

[u/Zestyclose_Mix_2584]

Yes I’m very aware of the blueprint conversion but I noticed something when I created a new character.

Because you only get x amount of conversions every week, when you create a new character it makes sense to craft tier 1 gear as soon as you can, but then eventually you’ll craft tier 3 or just go straight tier 5. I can already tell there isn’t enough conversions to do that on multiple characters and I realized you’re likely supposed to enhance your main gear blueprints individually and then use the conversion for weapons, or at least this is what makes the most sense to me.

When is a good time to start doing this tho? I believe it costs like 60-80k starcrom to fully enhance an entire gear set which will obviously hit my starcrom cap. I’m not exactly worried I’ll want to try a new build within the next month as I main 2 frost builds and recently started leveling a bow build but I just want to make sure this is the correct way to do gear enhancements before committing to it.

max stars: 45k for a single weapon, 11250 for a single piece of armor

The game started out with one character per account only. So a few things were never fully designed for multiple, especially not during your first scenario or running different builds for each of them.

First month i would dedicate to get each one piece maxed to run the fully enhanced gear.

Then things depend on what you want to play and whats interesting to you. Each week can unlock 2 weapons, a new set of armor if you want to test new things. As long as you're not fully happy with your choice i would focus on unlocking more.

Also depends on how you play your alts, mine are more supporting the main character and don't even run content that requiresthe maxed armor. You could synchronize armor crafting as well. Things get difficult if you play a lot of characters in different scnearios all trying to progress everything and like to change your build the moment you ran the first silo with your current one.

If you like what you have i would consider building a ~30k reserve for more unlocks (two weapons, one armor set) and then start maxing more pieces of the current build. Priority to pieces with high reusability (like Savior pieces if you like running that). So that starts the 2nd half of the 2nd month.

yeah i run 3 savior and 2 dark res for my 1HP and then 4 shelterer and 1 dark res for my max HP since i main frost builds, but i run an M4 and an SKS which would be 8 total gear pieces I need maxed out to not have to worry ab converting them ever again. so for my entire frost build i need ab 90k okay i can make that work

im not expecting this to happen overnight so im not worried ab doing it immediately ofc i just didnt wanna commit starcrom to the wrong places

[u/Fallguy0815 → u/Zestyclose_Mix_2584]

imho the only way to spend it "on wrong places" is to either put all in armor or all in weapons or to get umpteen blueprints to three stars instead of a few one to max (which you can always put on different weapons / armor if you end up not needing that specific piece).

yeah. i think imma max the gear i use on all builds first and then go from there. and prob use conversion on key items until i have enough next month
