This guide is just to get you up to speed on the crafting system and is not completely exhaustive.<\/p>\n

The point of the Crafting System is to make your low rarity items almost as strong as a top of the line item. Crafting \u260510 and higher items will drop their stats, however you can increase their strength by extending them further.
\u203b<\/span>Be careful as top of the line \u260510 and higher items may end up weaker than expected.<\/span><\/p>\n

January 17th, 2014 – Sakai updated his blog today to explain some of the \"hidden\" mechanics behind the crafting system. In summary, there is a damage variance in PSO2 along the minimum and maximum values. The maximum damage values are shown in the Item Details window as S-ATK\/R-ATK\/T-ATK. In general, \u26057 and higher weapons have a damage variance that falls between 90% (Minimum) ~ 100% (Maximum) damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n

When you craft an item, its base stats are standardized. the damage values are overwritten, and special parameters are lost. Thus, \u26057 and higher crafted items will end up having a wider damage variance than before. Sakai received lots of questions as to whether or not this was a bug. (In fact, the PSO2 wiki dedicated an entire section for it, but wanted an official statement before determining it as such.<\/span>) However, Sakai revealed that this is working as intended. And in order to compensate for this loss, you will need to increase the DEX values on your weapons, mag, and skill trees. Another suggestion is to level up skills that affect the \"Critical\" rates and values. This will help to improve the average damage for crafted items.<\/p>\n
