I never had the need to use a weapon as a crafting component myself. Part 3 of the 2nd article has a more detailed explanation. I believe Light ore is where it gets really weird because you can use a light ore and another weapon to change the type of weapon. As far as I know you CAN combine weapons of the same type (but its not like adding in a sword with 10,000 attack will give you 10,000 attack) but I believe it upgrades the item to use the base stats of the item being used as a crafting component. This part is where I get pretty hazy as well.

#RUNE FACTORY 2 FORGING UPGRADE#

How come when I use an old weapon to upgrade a new one I gain no stat benefits? The actual difficulty is hidden but I know I've seen some numbers but it may have been on another website. The level you see on the item is as far as I know a general idea of what level of crafting you need not to pay too much in RP when upgrading. Total Difficulty Used (TDU) tiers for WeaponsД®ssentially the same thing as weapon level but total difficulty is a lot harder to calculate. Here is the list that the gamefaqs article has (2nd link) Just like total item level total difficulty also gives you new bonuses. What does the difficulty beside an ingredient's stats mean? Some ingredients only add a little RP cost, while others add thousands, when they're similar in difficulty. This may be what you are seeing when the get more stats than the item says as you make have gotten to the next tier of total level. **These bonuses are not cumulative.Д®ssentially if your material level gets to 150 (ie: you used 15 level 10 ingredients) you will receive a bonus of 700 atk and matk on a weapon or 350 defense and 350 m.defense just for the level of items being used. Tier 5 | 150LVs | ATK+700, M.ATK+650 | DEF+350, M.DEF +350 *Forged items only receive the ATK|M.ATK bonus crafted items only receive the DEF|M.DEF bonus.

The level of the crafting materials increase the Total Level of the item. What benefit does using a level 10 crafting ingredient over a level 1 serve? If your recipe has 4 slots then you can essentially get 4 additional upgrades by included the items in the crafting recipe. Yes this is exactly the same as upgrading the item after it has been crafted. You'll see the difference.ДЇor example, If I made a sword but added an extra iron ore into the crafting recipe, would that give me the same benefits that upgrading it afterwards with the same item would? (In other words, does adding extra stuff at the beginning just give you more available chances to raise the stats?) Make an iron sword normally, make an iron sword with an additional iron in there. These are things you can easily test if you want. Unfortunately if you want to make the best weapon possible you'll need to make sense of the GameFAQs threads: I wonder if difficulty and the hidden rarity value are both related to this. Perhaps there are other variables at stake. The combined ingredient levels have reached the next 'tier,' thus improving the stats.Дo they? All I've noticed is that the higher the number, the higher the RP cost. I'd always wondered about that myself, and with the new knowledge gained here, I'm going to guess that this is a result of point 2. If your forging or crafting is at level 50 or above, your weapons and armor will have boosted stats which increase at certain tiers measuring the combined level of the ingredients used in creation and upgrading. You know, given list? Written in that thread? In the first few posts? Those items are implied by the list to be 'special' by having unique effects when used as extra ingredients in crafting. Extra items apply hidden effects as per the given list of special items.

Apparently everyone's in desperate need of their precious props, so you get AOL screen name credits littering paragraphs already chock full of acronyms and lingo.ДЇrom my read-through of the numerous posts across the forum thread (because it's too bad GameFAQs doesn't host FAQs for games anywhere), I got these answers: My source was this thread on GameFAQs: The other one was too confusing, because it delved into too much errant gibberish about TLU and TDU.

That much is implied by the thread on GameFAQs and is practical for players. When the aggregate level reaches certain quantities, the stats of the item are boosted. As far as I know, adding more items increases a hidden value that counts up the levels of all ingredients used in an item. Before today, I didn't even know you could use extra ingredients in crafting.
