They said that they are increasing the power of tier 2 components and its retroactive but all my current pieces are the same... has anyone crafted new tier 2 gear and seen what the difference in the bonus is?
sorry but what is tier 2 crafted items? do you mean the 2nd enchantment or masterworking? Tiers are for loot as I understand it not crafting.
plain iron is tier 1. meteoric iron is tier 2. the new dropped/salvaged components like ashen heartwood are tier 3.
Constantan Bronze Meteoric iron White iron Supple leather Fustian cloth Hardened leather Carapacian cloth Not exhaustive, but these are most of the tier 2 materials.
I noticed changes with my already crafted supple leather armor. But supple leather string bows don't seem different, to me.
On the heavy armor side of thing Meteoric plate now give 4% per sheet (dbl the bonus of iron) White iron plate I beleven it's Def stayed the same at 2% but the hp was increased (8 plates, heavy chest, give 20 hp from mat bonus Consta and bronze maybe dbl copper now I can't remember the sheet and coil numbers but Aug const chain chest now gives 10% and 20 focus
