bo0MXxXsplatter Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I'm not saying why people would even do this, but I'm asking how many people actually make mastercraft/ascendant (I.E. a riot helmet that costs thousands of polymer and only gives double the protection.) blueprints. I personally would not make any of those blueprints as they are way to expensive at times. It would probably be faster to just keep looking in deep sea loot crates until I find an actual item instead of the blueprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takridrunkkobold Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Weapons, I do. You'd be surprised how much difference a mastercraft longneck makes when firing tranq darts when you're out taming stuff... And I found mastercraft blueprints for flak armor, they seem to be a decent upgrade and a fair price to make and maintain for the protection they offer. Its kinda funny to suddenly get hit, turn around and realize that dilo you didn't spot before is hitting you for a big fat yellow 0 damage floating up over its head. Or that really fast raptor suddenly gets in your face and bites you for all of... 1 damage. It did save my butt once against a kapro I was trying to tame too once, I had dropped it in my taming pen, got my rifle out and got up on the ledge above it... and it managed to snatch me and walk around the taming pen with me dangling out of its mouth while I shot it in the face with my longneck rifle to knock it out. Was funny to my tribemates to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ep1cM0nk3y Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Upgrades are upgrades, that double armor could mean the difference between life and death, and not just for you. Staying alive is the name of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RilyHaryToze Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 The further you get in the game the easier the grind becomes making these crazy high priced items not seem so out of reach. Got an ascendant mosa platform saddle that takes 20k metal ingots among other things....looking forward to making it once the tek tier hits.

My buddy was wearing mastercraft riot gear and dc 3 time a while fighting a alpha carno and didn't even die. He even managed to kill it after the game stopped being lame.

oScottieHo Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 We make eveything,managed to find a beaver with 530 base weight,its now at over 2000 so we can make mastercraft giga saddles etc,still cant make the ascendant saddles though. Still trying to find that pesky ascendant longneck bp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregoPeck Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yes I have. I think the last one I made was a Mastercraft Mosa saddle. It was definitely expensive! Since I've been playing in single player mode lately, I've found a solution to the limited slot issue with the Smithy. I use a mod called StackMeMore, which makes things weigh less and increases stack sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[EG] Comdriver W31 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I craft everything what fits in current smithy/fab slots limit. currently I'm using asc xbows, clubs, swords, mastercraft longneck, assault file, rocket launcher, armor and saddles. could be something else but if I forgot about it I don't make it too often. as for riot armor - for ascendant and mastercraft it is going to be insane amounts of poly and etc (even when I have full vault of poly) so it is better to walk in mc flak/fur gear. I have some parts but I don't use them. it is just stays in vault all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soulyouth Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 from ocean drops, not too often, they just cost to much, there are some though, like the asc club and xbows are cheap to make. I did manage to get a really nice asc pike and longneck bp b4 they nerfed fishing, pike is about 700ingots for 450dmg, longneck is like 3.7k ingots for 326dmg. Also one of the few asc craftable saddles is a 222 armor argent saddle. even on a beaver 300 slots is not enough for some saddle bps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffyPony Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 It seriously depends on what the blueprint is and what I have already. If I get a Mastercraft Sniper Rifle bloop and I already have a Mastercraft/Ascendant Longneck, there's absolutely no way I'm wasting resources on the gun when I already have a very good weapon. Same goes for saddles. If it's a major upgrade, though, I'd probably go for the change. The only real exceptions to this are tools, especially pickaxes. I will build new ones from blueprints even if they're only 2-3% better than my current one, though I do wait until my current tools are expended before I move up to the next tier.

CTMalum Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 The only things we don't craft are the uncraftable items and the high level riot and scuba gear (Note- we do craft the high level scuba tanks. Leave everything else, though). Also, the electric prod- an ascendant electric prod is the most resource insane item I've ever seen. For most of the other things, it's usually worth it. I carry an ascendant sword. I crafted an ascendant fab. sniper for myself. Thankfully, I didn't have to do this because I found an ascendant in a drop, but some of my tribemates have crafted a mastercraft compound bow. Sure, some of it is just feather-in-the-cap material, where you can brag that you have it, but it is nice to be able to go a long time between repairs, and the extra stats are usually noticeable.

The blueprints are expensive but WORTH IT! like the ascendant club, it can easily knock people aren't wearing certain gear pieces out cold. Same with every other piece of armor and weapons.

Ranger1 Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Keep in mind that effectiveness and cost don't relate on a 1 to 1 level, in games (and as is often the case in real life) even a relatively minor advantage in performance can often be worth many times the price of a base model. It is a system of diminishing returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket launchers if the mats will fit in a fab because 200% rockets make raiding cheaper anyway. Pays for itself. Saddles for sure, especially for raiding dinos as they don't require maintenance. Never weapons though. I rarely make them above journeyman and even then usually only crossbows for taming. They're too expensive and too easy to use. 150% apprentice is the sweet spot.

Clover Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yeah, I'll make all of the weapon blueprints, the ascendant saddles like mosa gigas are in my opinion uncraftable, although raptor, frog and so I will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneJ15 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I suppose you have your answer reading some of the replies here, but sometimes it's the novelty, I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't want to carry around a MC or ASC Wooden Torch and seeing that coloured writing. On top of that is the durability of the higher tiered items, when it comes to torches you'll notice the difference and it saves on carrying extra torches or stopping to rebuild a new one after your primitive one has broken.

Emanuel1721 Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 I have a full set of mc riot gear that cost like 2k polymer to make, but man its definitely worth it, it gives a total of 2000 armor. Got hit like 3 times from a 145 giga when I was taming it and survived. It cost a ton to make but its all worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
