My first +5


Pathfinder Online


With Gemcutter, I just made a semi-precious +5 gem. I'm going to save it for a rainy day. But I wondering the value of it? And +5 stuff in general?

Not much since Enchantments are not in yet, but you should save it for the future. +4 and +5 refined goods are used to make +4 and +5 items which will be able to hold enchantments in the future.

Those gems are used in tier 1 Jewelery, if you manage to secure a whole batch of +5 refined materials, you can make a +5 item that will be able to hold an Enchantment(you put the enchantment on it at the same time the item is crafted).. Nobody knows how good these enchantments will be, there is not much known yet. But a single +5 refined resource is not much yet.

It usually takes a lot of refining before you get those, so +5 items will be rare, but value also depends on usefullness. Also, I do not see many Tier 1 +4 and +5 items being made, since people outgrow that tier very quickly.

There is one more use for a +4 and +5 resource: you can try to use it to "pull up" a crafting recipe to a higher + level.

The only current use for T1 +4 and +5 items would be if they were ingots, rope, and pine hafts (or was it pine poles), if people wanted to make +4 or +5 holdings or outposts. There's been a lot of debate if those are even worth the upgrades, but crafting them now is possible even if their upgrades come in later. About the only other thing I can think of. Otherwise I've been saving all the +4/+5 things I've made.

+4 and +5 consumables are also technically superior, and currently craftable. Whether or not they are economically viable is an entirely different argument.

Note that making +4 and +5 Implements like Spellbooks and Holy Symbols is also useful as they will allow you to slot more of your higher level expendables at the same time.

It's definately one of the cooler things of the crafting system. I love lucky procs, and mixing and matching with them. I am saving all my +4 and +5's for later though. :)

Hopefully the enchanting system actually adds enough value to items to make the cost of making those resources worth it.
