Regarding forging I also think the result depends on the items you put in and not only level. I got all my purple items by forging only 1P + 2B + 3G. 2P items will also always give you a 1P item. I think the key mechanic is to understand how to get an epic or gold with only one of its category and below.
Yep, G = Green. Didn't occur to me that it might get confusing, as I don't have Legendary items left over for forging yet. But sure, agree, let's call Legendary's color "O = Orange" to keep things clear.
Also, completing Chapter 7 did NOT increase my Forge level (enough) apparently. The max I can forge currently is still 174 Purple. Looks like I have to complete Ch.8 as well to forge better stuff (highest I saw so far is 203 Legendary, as Salvage Team reward). 120 Patrol Medals, geez... 35 to go still, can take a few days. On the plus side, this gives me ample opportunity to further upgrade my equipment.
Something a bit weird is happening here. Colours do seem to have an impact on the max level that can be achieved. the epic parts are clearly hitting the forge ceiling. But something pretty funky / low value is happening around the switch from green to blue, too. Either they're hitting a lower forge limit (?!) or else blue isn't being equally rewarded. Other than that, looks like banded effects (either by colour or by wg rating - perhaps around 110 / 150?) for 2-4 items. I'm assuming these'd be fairly straightforward to calculate with a bit more brainpower / focus and a few more data points than I have during my lunch hour :thumbs: (Tbf I'd expect bands to be by wg rating - does it make sense for legendary wargear at L1 to be upgraded by the same amount as at L40? Perhaps it does. Or perhaps that's moderated by forge level rising as character level rising.)
This is surely a function of your current level. Someone at L1 wouldn't be offered 203wg legendary - iirc, my starter pack was c50wg legendaries.
Ah, should have written "...to forge better stuff..." instead of "...to get better stuff..." ; corrected. The 203 Legendary was shown on an Ultra-Rare Salvage Team reward.
Interesting! I need to think about this. The 'minimum +...' column looks like it makes most sense at face value, but tbh the wobbly 'difference from mean' column might be wobbling as an artefact of banded effects (all wg ratings between e.g. 100 and 120 have the effect of raising the overall wg rating of the forged item by x. For example. Errrrmmmm.... would this affect differences from means like this? I think it might. Erm. [Edit: yeah. I *think* it might, particularly if score bands began on xx5s. In this example.]) I have yet to begin plugging figures into three or more items. Found this too interesting
The forge limit is all down to which chapters you've unlocked. Supply drop levels are down to your level. There's a weird point where supply drops are too low level compared to what you can forge. Once you're close to max level the supply drops are way better than anything you can forge. Max forge level I can make is a 220 blue (all missions complete) Supply drops at level 40 give 240purple and 280gold.
noted. Thx for pointing out that. Gonna max out my levels now. IMO Dropping epic crates are not that hard. Currently lvl34 with chapter 8 still locked. 15 patrols to go XD
In case you guys are wondering. I didnt finish all missions at chapter 7 to get here. I think its a one-off mission?
If anyone's interested I seem to have found a way to increase the forge item count in quests if you forge with ore instead of gold. Wait until the forging is nearly complete then go from the quest to the forge and complete the forging with a few pieces of gold. I'm now gradually getting through the game-progress quest. A good way to get rid of the loyalty forge quest seems to be to get the game to crash (quite easy on my iPad Air).
So i played that mission and got these rewards. I think my rare helmet is better than that legendary helmet. Sad.
Ah yes. Someone else mentioned this a few pages ago but wasn't sure what triggered it. Do you know when it appeared?
pretty sure its after u complete main missions on chapter 7. Or at least played to what i've played. To be exact, i havent played hailstormer mission 4, Hunting mission 4, and beastly encounter mission 3 when that overkill mission popped out.
Does anyone have issues with iCloud? I mainly play on my iPad and decided to download the game on my iPhone to have it on the go. However, whenever I launch the game on my iPhone, it doesn't pick up the save from the iPad, it starts at the beginning. If I then close the app and launch it on the iPad, it asks if I want to use the new save created on the iPhone or keep local data...
[INFO] Supply Drops, Salvage Drops, and Level Just figured out the multiplier for the gear you get from Supply Drops and Salvage Team: It's (your level) x (X) . Where X is 4,5,6,7 for Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. So with current max level being 40, the best you can get is: Supply Drops: G 160, B 200, P 240. No Orange drops (yet). Salvage Team: G 160, B 200, P 240, O 280. Wonder if the Forge and/or random drops will go higher than WGR 280. On an unrelated note: I'm starting to like the Autocannon Carapace weapon, too. Packs a mean punch now, especially against enemy armor Still not sure if the Missile Launcher isn't better overall, though. Also, since I need a lot better equipment than what I have now: I'm no longer selling Green items; using them to forge Blues instead. 5 Greens of sufficient WGR make a Blue. I was running short on Forge material
