Well, workbenches skins like “Aesir Blacksmith’s Bench” , “Stygian Armorer’s Bench” and other future workbench skins should be t2 benches.
Making the T1\T3 is not the best idea because they allow you to craft only basic or only top tier items. And thats not cool.
T1 bench pros and cons
- quick acces (person who will buy this skin will get quick access to this bench cause of it’s low tier and basic resourses requester for its building)
- It lose it’s usefulness in mid\end game progression when you start craft epic armour and weapons that require lvl 60 and you will be supposed to replace it with t2 or t3 workbench.
T3 bench pros and cons
- Late game (you will get it very late after 60 lvl and require ore rare resourses, that can be disappointing for new players cause they will need lot of time to be able to use that skin)
- It’s size (both ot T3 benches wariants are huge)
- Bonuses (you will need to prepare 2 different bench skins that represent different bonuses)
- Access to top tier equipment only (you won’t be able to craft some basic tools if you will need one)
T2 bench - golden middle
- Access to all types of equipment (epic\basic)
- Will not lose it usefulness in lategame (that make that skin more presious)
± Accessibility (you will need to get first 30 lvls but it will require easygettable resourses) - Moderate bonuses (they are weaker than T3 benches, but you will get both crafting speed and cost reduction)
