After grinding my way to 250 Engineering, I’m eager to start crafting my preferred Best-in-Slot (BiS) tools. Crafting isn’t my strong suit, so I want to clarify a few points to ensure I have the right information.
To craft 700 Gear Score (GS) tools, here’s what I understand I need: Trophies, Gear, Food, Town Buff, and the best materials.
Firstly, I have a question about the Town Buff. I’ve heard that you need to own a house in the town where the Engineering buff is active to benefit from it. Is this true? If I have the buff and craft in any town, will it be active, or do I need to craft in the town where the buff is active to benefit from it?
Secondly, I’d like to understand how to lock in perks. When I examine the crafting menu, it seems I can lock in a single perk with a crafting mod. I’ve also heard mention of scarabs and matrices. I’ll definitely check out a YouTube video for more clarification, but any insights you can provide would be appreciated.
Lastly, are there any tips or tricks I should be aware of, or any do’s and don’ts? I have a good supply of my own materials, so the cost isn’t a concern. To avoid depleting my resources, I plan to complete around 1-3 crafting sessions a week until I have the tools I desire.
Narga15 mentioned that the town buff only needs to be active in the town where you’re crafting, such as Brimstone or Monarchs Bluff, which typically have crafting perks.
To lock in perks, as you mentioned, you’ll need a crafting mod that matches the perk you want. Some items allow for prismatic scarab crafting, letting you choose specific perks, while others only allow 1-2 to be selected. This depends on whether it’s a standard crafting item or a drop from open world or dungeons.
One of the most valuable tips is to spend your locked cooldown time crafting your gear. As soon as you get the desired gear, you can start selling your crafting services to others looking for their BiS items, and earn New World coins easy & fast. Currently, high-demand crafting items include Matrix for gypsum crafting, which covers weapons, armor, and jewelry. These can be quite profitable, with prices ranging from 7-11K depending on the item and server. By buying the materials to make each item and having the crafting skill to create precursor items, you can earn at least a 50% profit.
