Here's what has changed and how it works... [b]Item Quality[/b] At the point of crafting a weapon or armour, your intelligence stat is taken into account and may affect the quality of the item. Intelligence doesn't translate directly to a specific quality tier being crafted, instead the more points you have in intelligence, the greater the chance of crafting higher quality items. [b]Item Enhancement[/b] At the workbench, there is now a new tab to Enhance weapons and armour. For a cost, any weapon or armour piece can effectively be upgraded to be as good as the next tier/item type in progression. This means that if you prefer to keep an early game sword to match your play style, instead of swapping to a more recently added weapon with better stats, you can now enhance that sword so it remains useful even in late game encounters! Please note: there is a maximum enhancement tier which is capped at the latest items in the game, so whilst most items can be enhanced up to 3 times, there can be a limit if the item is already late game gear. [b]Dismantling and recovering resources[/b] Crafted items can now be dismantled to recover some of their component costs. Dismantling does not provide a full refund for any items it is applied to. The amount of resources that you receive for dismantling may be lower if the item has low durability. [b]Respec Attributes[/b] Player attributes can now be reset at Herne for a cost. To restore all of your invested stat points, simply visit Herne at his camp by the Burrows entrance and select the dialogue option which asks to "refocus my training".
