Is there any real reason now to hunt crafting thralls as we level up? We just fired up our servers again and realized that the whole crafting thing is way messed up. It seems to us we are forced to just get a good fighter and level up asap then go get an armorer and blacksmith and call it good?
It appears the advantage we may have used to have gotten by grabbing T2 - T3 thralls is not really worth time now and better to just level and get crafting station. Made a bow with a T2 Carpenter in T1 Carpentry bench and did not seem worth time or effort to have not killed him and then drag to wheel.
So disappointed in this change, as we actually liked hunting for specific thralls for specific armor. Spawn rates on some could have been raised of course, but by hunting so many we saw virtually the entire map in a way that we now do not need to. I am just honestly perplexed by the change and what little documentation I found was not informative except to say you can now make stronger gear. Which I would just ask could you not have just added thralls that did that? ie. an upgrade station with thrall’s that would make your sword sharper, or more durable.
Anyways back to initial question, any reason to really spend time getting lower tier crafting thralls while leveling?
