Pick tool when purchased at lev 10 changes to Lev 1

Post by radyko »

Hi I was having problems when using the Pick once I reached a certain level so i decided to buy a new one that was lev 10.

Once purchased it changed into a level 1 item. I tried this over and over (so spent lots of money) and the lev 10 changed to a lev 1 each time

Now everything that i try to forage, even when done gently will just about blow up in my face!!

I have died 5 times because of this!

Can you fix this bug please or i cannot forage anymore!

Don't think this is a bug. Up until level 10, you should have noticed that the Source type (Its a number that appears in the sys info window) was something like 11, 14, 15. Once you go past level 10, you are assumed to have enough skill to deal with "real" source types (ie. 0-5). These have a much higher chance of explosion. These are the real sources types you will be dealing with for, as far as I know, the rest of your time in SoR. Its a way of introducing you safely into harvesting without danger of explosion. At level 10, you've learned how the harvest actions work. Now, you have to figure out how the sources work.

It has little to do with your pick level.

To keep from dieing .... spend some point in HP. ATM I am at 350 base (395 with the hp on my crafted armor) but I died a few times early on.

200 hp will fix the die'n part, but 250/300 would be alot better with a mayching regen so don't have to keep using your self heal.

The level of your pick has no effect whatsoever on your dying, only unsafe harvesting techniques do. Picks have no levels and the number is immaterial at this point in the game... there is no gain based on the picks level so nothing is effected. They display bug showing a 1 instead of 10 is a known issue, but it has no effect on anything.

Aye, at least the HP for the picks work now. The REAL frustration was going back to town selling etc, then running two miles to harvest and have your pick crup out after only one harvest.

Along this same line, something I hope they will introduce is the quality of harvesting/crafting tools. They just appear out of thin air, don't they?

Let's get real. We're crafting everything else in this world. Honestly, why wouldn't there be a tool crafting skill. Just as marketable as any other crafted item.

Love the game.

Thank You.

You cant even do that anymore. You are able to buy picks and tools from the merchants, but they wont buy them back now.

So what do we do, just destroy a worn pick and buy a new one?
