The benefits on live are still pretty good comparingly. Yes it is one FoP, but my clan uses it for brimstone and that is it to get the most out of it. But i agree, we won’t use it as a standard mod for all tools unless they adjust it based on the new data from @Soulstis (punished for using 2nd survival perk.)
I appreciate the distinction, and the choice, but given the options of oils vs. ‘Hard Worker’, I choose the latter. Also, it is rather easy to become overstocked on mats with ‘Hard Worker’ and see no need to destroy tools.
JMHO

Alone yesterday I got 20 legendary weapon repair kits…
I have a whole chest full of both repair kits (but also a full chest of blackblood tools)…
Its their durability which sucks now, compared to the normal modkit. Are you even able to farm Frost temple, without running out of time?
Yes, but it takes discipline lol. Arm it, smack the nodes, then unarm it. Hence why we only use it on brimstone.
It doesn’t actually destroy them. It leave a tick (5% i think, until next patch, then 10%). From there you can repair as normal. black Blood tools need a legandary to fully repair, but ohters can be repaired as normal.
I don’t use them on weapons though, as the benefit would mainly be for PVP, and last thing i need to be doing is managing a timer while fighting lol.
Thanks for that, Jot, Might. Having no direct experience with them, I was under the impression the tool could not be repaired. Also, I farm for one person, not a clan, so gather rate is much less important than supporting a team. I do gather for my daughter and her GF, but only the basic wood/fiber/stone since discovery is a really fun part of the game.
Unfortunately, it does not change my impression of the oil

Still a nice thing
I only used the oil one time and was kinda disappointed… Maybe for some rare resource, like Star metal… But then again I have close to 3 chests full…
The same thing with the oil of concussion?! Why should I use that? Or PvP? Enemy thralls cannot be knocked out… And even the strongest T4 dont need so long to get taken down…
Maybe for the future? With the new pet and thrall system?
If there was an oil which could pump up the rate of Armor Scraps or the new Steel from the new Dungeon, I would use it… But you pick them by hand…
Like the idea. It would be an RNG modifier you drink, and acts as a buff for 15 minutes. allows for higher qty when looting chests (except for legendary weapons). More gold,silver, etc.
