Divinity original sin enhanced edition weapon improvement. Crafting recipes

26.09.2019

Introduction

In theory, if you are a hardcore player, then you do not need this guide, because all the recipes in the game can be found in books. Moreover, these recipes always have a rather interesting history. They will not only tell you how to make an axe, but they will also share a childhood story about how the author’s dad taught him as a boy how to use a steel bar to make his best weapon. Most recipes can also be obtained using logic. For example, if you put rotten eggs in a flask, you get poison.

Crafting in the game is very simple - in most cases you just need to grab one item with the mouse and move it to another. In some cases, when you have more than one identical item, you will have to divide the pile into single items before crafting something new. To do this, hold down Shift and drag the item to an empty space. In this way, ingredients for more complex recipes, scrolls, books, arrows and potions are made. Ingredients such as ropes, blanks for rings (jeweler's kits), flasks and rags (for armor) are sold at the market at Celia in the first city.

To cook, you will need a stove, a field kitchen, or a fireplace in a tavern. More details in the food section.

To craft weapons and armor you will need a smelting furnace, a whetstone and an anvil. In Sailis they are located at the top of the city (below the cemetery).

In the game there are endless supplies of liquids such as wine, beer, water, poison, oil. They are scattered here and there in barrels. Simply place a mug or any container on the barrel to fill the container with liquid.

Having studied the leveling of this game a little, I was horrified by the small intelligence of the creators of this leveling.
Firstly, character traits DO NOT INCREASE for each point in them, this or that factor is MORE and MORE. An example is altruism. Gives +2 reputation. But having 4 points in it, the reputation only grows by 2 and not by 8 (2x4). So, as for the characteristics of the character’s character, a bonus is given only by the one of the two dilemmas in which MORE points are invested than in the other (which is known to everyone), BUT(!) Only the described bonus will be given. In the singular. No matter how many points you have. Let's move on, as for clothes with bonuses, the system is different. Each point from the total amount of all clothes gives its own SEPARATE increase. That is, if having altruism 5 you will only receive a bonus as if it were altruism 1, then having a bonus from ALL equipment +5 you will receive +5 points.
Now the most immeasurable part of the mind is the actual pumping.
There's a real web here. I conducted various experiments and realized that pumping up any skill with points... I don’t even know what to call it, call it or describe it... It follows the scheme I described above - what level is so many points required, and again BUT(!). Here there is a deduction from VARIETIES of bonuses that increase this skill, for each requirement separately. I'll try to give a clear diagram. First, you should firmly understand that there are varieties, let's talk about handicrafts, to add to this skill 3. Equipment, talent, character trait (pragmatism).
For example, you have a level 4 handicraft skill, and you already have two bonuses - equipment + talent. In total, you have TWO types of third-party addition. NO GLASSES. And varieties. Even if the equipment gives you 3 handicraft points, and the talent 1, the deduction will not be 4 points generally added by third-party bonuses, but 2 points from types of bonuses: equipment and talent (1+1). This means that in such a situation, in order for you to raise your skill from level 4 to level 5, you will need 3 points. Now, in more detail on this point. That is, as stated above, you need as many points in a skill depending on its level. This means - 5. Minus the number of varieties from bonuses - 2. Therefore, 3. But it is also worth knowing that the increase in this case cannot fall below 1 point. This is the minimum that cannot be changed. Even if you have a skill of the 2nd level (3 points are required to upgrade to the third), and there are three “varieties” of bonuses. The scheme “required number of points - Number of types of bonuses” (hereinafter I will call this scheme in short TKO-CHRB) will not work. Because it turns out 3-3=0. There will always be a minimum of 3-3=1.

Now a full explanation of the words Radish, And LeonKiller.UA.
As it turned out, there are no those here who are right or wrong; it would be more accurate to say that all three of us are NOT COMPLETELY wrong.
Actually their example of pumping:
When I started playing on hard for the second time, of course, I figured out in advance how to distribute the points.
I took the bow:
1) scientist (+1 craft, +1 blacksmithing)
2) pragmatism (+1 craft) - social skill in conversations, see what you do
3) bracers (+1 craft, +1 blacksmithing)
4) belt (+1 craft +1 blacksmithing)
in total we have no invested points. Craft -4, Blacksmith -3.
we put 1 point into the craft - the total craft is 5
We invest 1+2=3 points in the blacksmith. Blacksmithing is also 5.
4 talent points, 1 trait and 1 social skill spent

Yes, it is also worth considering that the order of taking is not important, but I will do it in an example for ease of understanding and clarity.
So, taking the SCIENTIST talent at the beginning of the game. you will receive level 1. It would seem that the calculation should be according to TKO-CHRB, which means 1 point (first level requirement) minus 1 (variety from talent) = 0. But as I described the exception above - below the unit required for pumping, the requirement cannot fall below the MINIMUM. Therefore, having taken the scientist talent at the beginning, you will receive 1-1 = 1 (minimum required) request for 1 point for the increase that the talent already gives you (+1 handicraft), so you will have the 1st level of skill. And here, if you have one or more free ability points, you can check the accuracy of my studies. Point at the plus sign next to handicrafts (appears if there are enough points to level up) When raising the skill level from first to second (having a third-party bonus from talent, which means ONE number of types of bonuses) you will need 2 points (TKO) MINUS 1 point ( CHRB). In total, the second level can be obtained for the scientist talent (itself gives 1 point required for the first level of the skill) + (2-1) = 1 invested ability point.

But for now, considering the words of the people above as an example, we will remove this embedded point. We just have the talent of a scientist and the 1st level of skill. Next in line is pragmatism. Having received it, we get one skill point that it gives. And according to the TKO-CHRB scheme, we get the second level. Namely: the first level gives talent; the second one will pass (based on the calculation) 2(TKO)-2(CRB)=0. Yes, yes, it is the NBR that will be equal to two, because now this skill is increased for us by talent and character trait - TWO types of bonuses! But since the required minimum is 1 point, the second level will look like 2-2=1. 1 point required to obtain the second level. Pragmatism gives it to us. Therefore, the skill will become equal to level 2. Next, we find, for example, bracers for +1 needlework. There are two ways to calculate this, and both will be correct. Having already the second level of skill, and TWO types of third-party enhancements, we put on these same bracers. We get the third level.

The first method of calculation: we have the second level of skill, which means that to get the third, according to the TKO-CHRB scheme, 3-2 (talent + pragmatism) = 1 point is required. Since we put on the bracers, they give us this point - the skill becomes the third level

The second method of calculation: we have the second level of skill, which means that to get the third, according to the TKO-CHRB scheme, 3-3 (talent + pragmatism + equipment) = 0 points are required. But based on the “mandatory minimum”, one thing is still required. Since we put on the bracers, they give us this point - the skill becomes the third level

Let's move on. After the bracers, we find a belt with +1 needlework. There are NOT four varieties. And still three (equipment + talent + pragmatism). It’s just that one of these types of bonuses, namely equipment, gives two points when the others give one. This means that to raise a skill from the third level to the fourth, we need 4-3 = 1 point. Please note that the mandatory minimum is no longer considered, because 0 MSW is not created. And since we put on the belt, it gives us this point. We get the fourth level of the skill. It cost us talent (1) + pragmatism (1) + equipment (2). And yes, no points invested. But to raise the skill from the fourth to the fifth level, we need 5-3=2. Where 5 is the number of points required equal to the skill level. 3 - the number of varieties (equipment, talent, pragmatism), NOT dependent on the number of points received by each individually. The types of bonuses, I repeat, will remain equal to three. Only equipment will simply give +2 skill points.
It turns out that from the fourth to the fifth level, raising a skill costs 2 points. If you also (and if they exist in the game) find, for example, boots with +1 handicraft, then.... the skill will remain level 4. After all, 2 points are required.
The result will be like this:
According to the calculations above, we get the 4th level of needlework.
To get the fifth one, you need:
or put on an additional item that gives +2 handicrafts
or put on two additional things that give +1 handicrafts
or add 2 ability points
or put on an additional item that gives +1 handicraft, and put 1 point into it.

The sixth level will accordingly cost 6-3=3 in this case. Seventh 7-3=4, etc.
If you, for example, do not have pragmatism, then for everyone else you will only receive the 3rd level of skill. The fourth one will cost 4-2=2. And the fifth one is 5-2=3. Total 2 things + talent + 5 points. Instead of pragmatism + 2 things + talent + 2 points.
Wow, I wrote so much... But I got tired of all the music)
And will there be sincere believers who will call this.... creation - pre-antique delusional??))

So, having received the well-deserved 10th level, we not only complete our adventures in the vicinity of Saisil - all we have to do here is turn in a couple of quests to the captain - but we also become the proud owners of 5/5 Crafting/Blacksmithing. If, of course, Yasha was carefully prepared for this. Well, or one of our GPGs, which is even simpler. So, what makes the final 5/5 skill:
- Basic skills - 2/2 (total 6 AP spent).
- Scientist talent +1/1.
- Belt - with known luck +1/1 to each skill.
- Bracers - similar to a belt, +1/+1.

Bonuses to these skills can be on bracelets and belts, i.e. in clothes worn in Bracers & Belts slots. Nowhere else. It will be necessary to make a list of what advantages can be found in which particular slots. Crafting and Blacksmithing, most likely, only on Bracers and Belts. Believe me, I tried to get things for crafting first of all, and even then, I only got the belt with +1/1 from Brakus’s chest. Before that there were two with separate +1.

Why all this dancing with a tambourine around things + craft? In this way, we save a huge number of ARs, which can be used for much less peaceful purposes. After all, they only invested 6. And at level 5, crafting and blacksmithing take on a completely different meaning - almost all created things acquire additional bonuses. Bonuses also depend on the level, so, in my opinion, before there was simply no point in forging anything. In general, one-two-three-four-five, we went to forge.

I looked into Hall of Heroes only after Yasha had leveled up accordingly, i.e., already at level 10. In Hall of Heroes, you can hire a level 1 henchman, then fire him, then hire him back into the team. And he will become the same level as you, with the ability to freely distribute his attributes, skills and abilities. So such a special blacksmith can easily get 4/4 - +3/3 from skills, +1/1 from Scientiest. With clothes, it means there was no need to struggle too much, and also not to waste 6 precious AP Yashas. On the other hand, I won’t replay it myself; personally, it’s more convenient for me when the crafter is always at hand, rather than chasing him into a parallel dimension. Maybe in the next playthrough I'll make a special blacksmith.

Armor
With the greatest amazement I discovered that only the thief had normal boots, though there were two pairs - combat ones and with +1 Lucky Charm. Everyone else was wearing some kind of cast-offs. So we also need to make decent shoes for everyone:
Leather Boots= Leather Scraps + Anvil
Metal Boots= Metal Scraps + Anvil(C5: Armor Rating or Movement bonus.)
Source material:
Leather Scraps = Animal Hide + Knife or Dagger
Everything is bad with iron boots, I haven’t found a recipe for scrap iron, maybe you can find it on sale somewhere. At level 10 we get bots with 10AC and +0.60 to run, or with 12AC without a bonus. My choice is clear, AC=10+0.6 to movement rate. Die With Your Boots On (c) Iron Maiden

You can also see if any of the weapons should be replaced with items of your own making. The only decent murder weapon I had at the moment was Medora's legendary hatchet. Level 7, but the parameters beat any self-propelled gun. But he exchanged the daggers for his own without regret.

Weapon
Dagger = Knife + Anvil(B5: Dexterity, Lucky Charm, Max Action Points, or Speed bonus)
Sword= Iron Bar + Anvil(B5: Damage or Max Action Points bonus)
Ax= Steel Bar + Anvil(B5: Critical Chance, Damage, or Max Action Points bonus)
Two-Handed Sword= Large Iron Bar + Anvil(B5: Damage or Strength bonus)
Two-Handed Ax= Large Steel Bar + Anvil(B5: Damage or Critical Chance bonus)
Bow= Bowstring + Branch (C5: Dexterity, Max Action Points, or Speed bonus)
Crossbow= Crossbow Without a Bowstring + Bowstring (C5: Critical Chance, Damage, or Dexterity bonus)

Forging
- The item always turns out equal to the level of the blacksmith, regardless of the level of the starting item.
- The additional bonus is always 1 and always random.
- Damage is always the same, strictly defined for your level.

Sharpening
- The bonus to damage is fixed, you can’t get more.
- The bonus does not depend on the level of Crafting/Blacksmithing.

The experiment was carried out on a dozen daggers. By the way, gold table knives also make good steel daggers. Surprising as it may seem.

What must be done
- Drive nails into all the shoes. Requires crafting level 5. Grants immunity to falling (Immunity to Slipping) - this is just an incredible bonus.
- Sharpen all weapons.
- Process metal armor on an anvil. Or lubricate it with oil - alas, either/or.
- Weld a leather jacket in the field kitchen.

Yes, if you got the ingredients for Buffalo Saber, sell it with the ingredients, it will be more expensive. At level 10 her stats are Slashing 77-120, +1 Strength. And by that time Medora had long had a level 7 ax in her hands:
Inhuman Antique Battle Ax of Storms
Slashing 66-102 Air 19-31
Willpower +1
Leadership +1
20% chance to set Stunned
15% chance to set Muted

And finally, one more time

In this article on the turn-based RPG Divinity: Original Sin The basic crafting recipes and its features are given, after studying which crafting weapons, ordinary and legendary things will no longer be a problem for you!

Myself crafting in Original Sin not available until you reach a special level threshold, namely 10th. And now, finally, we get that very coveted level, which means that our business in the vicinity of Saisil is coming to an end. It remains to complete a few tasks for the captain and you can go in all four directions. Finally we get the coveted 5/5 Crafting/Blacksmithing. It is important to carefully prepare Yasha before this. Although, to be honest, it will be much easier to prepare one of the GPGs. This means that the final skill consists of:

Basic skills – 2/2 (6 points spent in total);
Talent Scientist 1/1;
Belt with driven luck +1/1 for each skill;
Bracelets are similar to the belt +1/1.

It is important to remember that to buff these skills you need to use only Belts and Bracers, that is, only things that are worn in slots. A list will soon be compiled that will help you understand what advantages individual slots can provide. But first, we can conclude that belts and bracelets are best suited for Crafting and Blacksmithing. Belts with individual +1s kept dropping out, and the coveted +1/1 only dropped out of Barakus' chest.

The question follows: “What is this whole set of letters for?” All of the above brings us to the understanding that in this way we acquire a bunch of additional AP. That is, not additional, but saved. Which makes sense to invest in other, combat skills. After all, we only invest 6 points. Not many people know that at the fifth level it is very profitable to use crafting, since most of the things created are endowed with special bonuses. These same bonuses are directly dependent on the character’s level. Based on this, in my opinion, it simply doesn’t make sense to start crafting earlier, since the bonuses will be significantly weaker.

Divinity: Original Sin crafting weapons and legendary items

After spending hours in Hall of Heroes, I found one interesting thing. The fact is that after properly leveling up Yasha, already at level 10 we have the opportunity to hire a henchman of the first level. After that, we fire him and take him back to us. By carrying out such simple machinations, he will become on the same level with us. And we can easily distribute his points and skills. At the same time, we get a super blacksmith with 4/4, with +3/3 from skills and +1/1 from Scientiets. You don’t have to worry too much about clothes, they are of no use. And it is absolutely not necessary to spend 6 AP of Yasha. But again, you don’t have to replay it. Some people find it more convenient when the crafter is always on site. But for those who are just planning to play, it will be interesting to make a super blacksmith.

The preparatory stage is over, we figured out what should be done and how.

I recently noticed that only a thief has excellent shoes, and two pairs at that. Lucky Charm and combat. Everyone else wears some kind of clothes. We need to start creating new normal boots for everyone. For this we need:

(Crafting 2) Leather Boots = Leather Scraps + Anvil (C5: Armor Rating or Movement bonus.)
(Crafting 3) Metal Boots = Metal Scraps + (C5: Armor Rating or Movement bonus.)

Source:

(Crafting 1) Leather Scraps = Animal Hide + Knife or Dagger

To my disappointment, I couldn’t craft iron boots because I couldn’t find a recipe for crafting scrap iron. But in principle, you can look for someone on sale, I think if you bother with it, you can find it.

As I said above, when you craft things yourself, you receive a significant bonus. In this regard, it would not be amiss to look at the availability of items in the equipment that can be replaced with items made by yourself.
Forging Features

It doesn’t matter what level a thing is, it always turns out to be the same level as you.
There is only one bonus and it is always random.
Damage is also clearly tailored to our level.
It is important to remember that many recipes may not work due to the release of new patches and updates. You can also use a repair hammer instead of a Hammer.

Features of sharpening objects

The damage buff is always the same. It never falls out more or less.
The bonus is not tied to the crafting level.

All of the above was personally tested by me with daggers. By the way, excellent knives are made from gold table knives.

Let's do it first!

When reaching the fifth level of crafting, be sure to drive nails into all the shoes, which will provide us with an imbalance bonus - immunity to falling.
Sharpen all weapons.
When using an anvil, collect metal armor.

If you were able to obtain the components for the Buffalo Saber, it would be appropriate to sell it in parts. At the same time, we will be able to save significantly.

Several recipes for crafting things

Upon reaching level 10, we should have characteristics such as Slashing 77-10 20, +Strength. Moreover, by this time Medora should have had a level 7 ax long ago.

If everything has already been done and you want to tinker with your armor, then here are some tips for leveling up your armor.
As before, the level of the “craft” and “blacksmith” skills plays an important role here.

It is very interesting to improve helmets, since they are completely redesigned and give good stats. For crafting you will need any leather helmet, it is the basis. For example, when combined with a feather, we get +1 to stealth and + 15% to wind resistance, and if we use a magic eye, we get an increase in perception by +1.

To boost armor, two methods are used, the first is leather armor + boiling water, we will get an increase in rating. Or instead of boiling water, scrap metal.
To add resistance to elemental damage, you can use elemental essences and rubies.
For increasing value - the holy grail.
