Sir Texas Sir Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Why do we only get xp for crafting ships? We should get xp for making cannons, repairs and mods too. I'm not saying it should give you a lot, but what if a crafter isn't a ship builder? Than shouldn't he get xp through other means? The other thing is travel xp should go towards Ship knowledge of the ship your in. It's very little but when your using trade ships you don't really fight in them so they should gain a little xp. Why can't we get xp for crafted ships like we did a long time ago. This would allow dedicated crafters to gain a little level from people using ships they crafted. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raekur Posted June 16, 2019 Share Posted June 16, 2019 Add to the difficulty of this is the sheer mammoth amount of money now required to build any production building. I am not sure what the devs were thinking for for someone to even craft guns now requires an initial investment of 500,000 real and 10,000 gold. This kind of restrictions only promotes the DLC ships and hinders the production of any other kind of ships. Not really supporting the idea of helping new players to the degree that was the excuse for wiping out all xp from the veteran players. The concern that vets would "steamroll" the new players and now new players have to spend a massive amount of time just to even get a glimpse of a ship that is marginally better than the basic cutter. Hopefully the prices will be brought down to a more reasonable amount but not really expecting it. Until then you can expect the new players to have to fight and claw their way around for at least a couple of months to just get close to being able to survive. There may be a good influx of players upon release but how long until the struggle gets too much? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that is not a big hurdle in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rewords for AI kills is so low right now it's a struggle to get any money for econ stuff. I honestly think they went way in the direction for these DLC. Even when you do get to craft a ship you limited on permits that drop from RNG box's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyebreadMike Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 I'm getting the feeling I'm missing something terribly simple .. but I can NOT for the life of me find my crafting experience. I've crafted a few ships but can not find how much crafting experience I've accrued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Merrill Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Top center of the screen in the "Buildings" screen, I believe.... Its like a red badge design-type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just tells you the level and nothing else. You have to find the badge and check that under the crafting building tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to build a Lvl 3 Hemp and Level 2 Iron plus buy all 8 Outpost permits and upgrade main Warehouse 2 or 3 times... Plus do the first Exam and get a Hurc...

Sir Texas Sir Posted June 20, 2019 Author Share Posted June 20, 2019 7 hours over 2 days isn't a causal who only plays an hour or two. Oh and that Hemp 3 is a waist until you get more labor hours. None of that stuff is going to add to your crafting hours, the only thing that does is a shipyard and crafting ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptVonGunn Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I only got the Hemp 3 because I could afford. Now working on gathering resources to start crafting TBs for XP... Shipyard is done and will likely never get used again once I have max LHs:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannons should give xp too. Even if it's just 1 xp per that is better than nothing to be honest. Specially if you can only afford one of those buildings and want to level up. @admin I know we talked about the Sailing XP but why can't it be added to ships, even if it's only added to trade ships? Also can we get xp for cannons just like we do for making repairs? We aren't asking for a lot of xp, just a little to help. I would suggest xp for mods and such too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now they patched it so rum and repairs don't give XP anymore. I think a rebalance of crafting XP earned is in due order. Sincerely, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
