Don’t mistake the title for the game. The game is amazing, and still under development, but some stuff still not optmized for the players, such as the crafting system.
Not considering ember farming and the new enchament system, but crafting an end game item which you cannot drop (at least i didn’t) sucks A LOT, too much grind for some items that you don’t even find the drop item monster, such as winged claw… terrible RNG to find the winged monster, and them when you find him after maybe 40-60 minutes run, you have to got some luck for him to drop a claw, which is used for Ash Soothed Daggers, for eg, which you need SIX of them to craft one, and then you got to enchant, to maybe got a purple item, and if you don’t, let’s go grind again.
Change the way craft is done is a good start: lowering the amount of items to craft, end items dropping with higher %, or more end game monsters through out the map… any one of these will be awesome.
