Becoming an Artificer T1 has made me realize just how boring and uninspiring the crafting tree is. Just seems like it’s so incredibly lack lustre in all respects. It doesn’t look like it has been updated since it’s debut in Spires. Bothers me because it doesn’t look like any real care or thought went into the Artificer tree since E2.
How come for whatever reason not a single blacksmith in all of Esshar knows the secrets of making gauntlets or helmets?
How come there are no Adamantite legs, swords and staffs? One could say that Adamantite is too hard to make into complex things like those- but how come you can make the chestplate? In my mind a Chestplate would be the hardest thing to make in a set of armor.
Why isn’t Orchalicum used for anything standalone; I would have personally made an Orchalicum set that has very little protection but increases the amount of power output one can do to balance it out.
Tyrium - besides the fact of uniques being a thing, Tyrium has zero use outside of wasted space in a chest, and making it into stone, which is also pretty pointless.
I’d also like to see more sprite variety for armors and weapons. We’ve had three versions of the same game with hundreds of sprites added each time, but we’re still using the standard armor used in E1 for almost everything. Very bland. Very boring.
After writing this I’ve come to the conclusion that this deserves its own thread, which I’ll be making soon because.. cmon.
