Hello my dear friends, i have a question for you players and for the GM. It's posibile to craft Hardened Zephyr Falcon dura 100 ? Why i'm asking this because i hardened over 50 bow's and no one get me more dura than 85. I'm 215 lvl Con 1162. I hardened only two Glacier Knuckle and the 2th gives me dura 100.
Thank you.

Now, you can't. Before it was still possible tho.. Highest dura you can get now is prolly 96 dura. (base from what i heard)

and also the Caliburn.

Ive been hardening/balancing swords like crazy and the most ive got was dura 91 ... so yes it does seem that Bows and Swords dont get to 100 dura for some odd reason... it would be nice to know whether or not it does ever reach 100... jsut to insure my efforts arent goin to a complete waste... dura 98 would be satisfactory for me... oh well we shall see...

Check the difference in accuracy vs dura. It isn't that much so the difference between 98 and 100 dura makes virtually no difference in accuracy. Yes, since the crafting update a couple months ago, high dura is very hard to get. It was probably too easy to get before, the developers realized this and made it alot harder. Conversely, SEN crafting it is insanely easy to get good stats on crafted items, its like common as water now to get good stats.

As coffe said it doesnt make much of a difference.. So unless you a dura freak then go find someone that has a 100 dura weap that was made pre orlo. Like a 90 dura weap (bows, caliburn) will have 3-5 base acc lower than a 100 dura one (This is based on a ref 15 weap)

it should be still possible only the chance is minimal

How bout let a GM confirm this

[Viceking]

do you think gms they have the dam time to come each days on every thread for confirm all speculation just belive the people is enuff

[Keion]

from my experience, i got to say its impossible...

i have been craft more than 500, and didnt got any dura 100 on zephyrs, caliburns, mana steam rifle and amazing brush...

max i could do was a 99 amazing brush, and 96 caliburn... some bows 90-94...

mostly because this weapons have a low base dura (when you disassemble and get a weapon back, come always with same dura, and when you open prisons chests, you get always same dura too)

what gms can do to fix it, is set same base dura for all weapons... i would say 64 (same as ein stein) would be perfect... because isnt easy to get dura 100 on staffs like is for launchers (base dura 72)...

I think that not getting a 100 dura on weaps now is intentional, cause all of the weaps that can't be crafted with 100 dura now all have high base acc anyway.

^ this was stated in one of the updates...

They don't want everyone running around with 100dura everything - they said the intention was to increase the utility of the repair features of the game (npc, repair hammer, and item mall hammers).

people complained because dura was so important for accuracy and dodge so i think they decreased the relationship between the 2.

The problem that I have with this is - what happens when they change their mind again and I am stuck with something refined to (15) with crap dura because it didn't matter then.
