Awakened Distillation

[Winter]

Hello fellow Swadians!

The craftsmen of many Houses specializing in Support crafting have been hard at work perfecting their distilling techniques, and some advancements have been made! They can now distill Awakened Legendary items. Additionally, reports have begun to indicate that Nords have begun carrying a strange new Legendary Dust. Our craftsmen have been hard at working experimenting with this dust and have discovered a way to distill this strange material into Legendary Essence.

Crafting

• Added "20x Black Steel" to level 18 Blacksmith
  
• Added Distill Awakened Legendary recipes to Support
  
• Added "Distill Legendary Dust" to level 20 Support
  

There have also been some changes in class stats. It seems we were allocating too many resources to training up our Royal Guards and Legionnaires, which led to Zweihanders and Pavise Champions being neglected. This issue in resource management has been rectified.

Class Stats
Infantry

• Royal Guard -1 Shield (11)
  
• Legionnaire -1 Power Throw (6)
  
• Zweihander +1 Athletics (7)
  

Crossbowman

• Pavise Champion +1 Athletics (8) (no, you will not get any more, stop asking)
  

Enjoy!

Kinda sad for the former aventurier's athletics, but those changes are very appreciated.

Was more picturing in my head you would just swap 1h skill with Ranger? Given less armour and no shield so you get rewarded for that risk but guess that does the job

The Leg nerf been waiting for thank you

i dont understand a thing you said right there, but i assume it has something todo with ranger using one handed?, wich he already does, imo ranger should be 2 handed instead. cause sentinel atleast had a shield to protect against projectiles and groups of guys

Winter, i think you forgot to change the Zweihander also changed his ironflesh to 15 from 18, RG did not have 15 together with Zweihander asfar as i remember.

Legionnaire nerf?! Winter, I thought we were friends

Due to unforeseen technical difficulties, the Ironflesh nerfs have been reverted. We'll come after you another day...

We already have Sentry were his 2h is Zwei level we dont need another 2h hero for sniper. The actual fire hot take that I could say is Eastern Blade shouldnt even be on the sniper hero's it takes away from Sentry sort of uniqueness but given its basically always been on Sniper its probably not going nowhere

Currently Legionnaire has 240 Pc has 220 and Ranger has 220 skill in 1h. My suggestion simply flip it so Ranger is the 240 and Legionnaire is 220. You get rewarded as you have less armour then the other 2 and you cannot bring any shields in as Ranger vs the other 2. Yes you can pick one up but thats not the point and you have less skill in the area

We have 3 1h heroes in the game that can carry in Excalibur, Rebellion and Steel stinger we only have 2 throwing heroes being Mp and Leg

This isn't to add from the fact a lot of the best 1hs in game are inf locked so can be used by Zwei and Rg. Throwing is more of a unique skill and why Leg has been so popular over the years with its dominance in it

I would be curious to see a poll on the topic what Legionnaire players care about most. Throwing skill or 1h skill.
