What do weapon levels do?

Game Discussion
1

Whilst trying to deepen my understanding of the game in order to polish my future suggestions, I realised that I lacked knowledge regarding a very simple feature in the game: weapon levels. While I do know how they used to work, I don’t know what they actually do aside from changing skills and skill tiers requirements

You mean like how weapons used to be upgradeable?

3

Weapon skill point requirements depend on the weapon level since it’s calculated with 2*(weapon level)+(skill note level-30*) and if the skill is on the third or fourth slot it adds 10 to the requirement

*im unsure if the requirements displayed on the skill notes are already adjusted to that -30

4

Damage basically also depend on the level of the weapon aside from affinity and power stat.

Thank you very much good sir, that’s the info I was missing

thats not true though. a level 1 weapon isnt weaker than a level 100 weapon unless its damage affinity is lower
for example, old weapons deal the same damage as average weapons (like an old sword compared to an iron sword). they just have smaller skills and less skill slots due to their lower ‘quality’

Don’t trust the stuff you see on the internet bois. Care to tell me what it does though ?

8

the level doesnt do anything beside dictates the stats required to use the weapon’s skills

9

That can’t be true, what even is the point of average quality weapons then ?

10

you get 3 skills and theyre bigger

11

So just tiers ? Then there isn’t really a point in using deluxe / steel weapons except if we get tier 4 is there ?

12

…like i said the skills are bigger so yes there is a point
plus theres the third skill slot

13

isn’t skills being bigger just a bifactor of higher quality weapons having access to higher skill tiers ?

14

Also third skill slot is available to unique lvl 50 weapons, so for instance, there wouldn’t be any point in running steel claws except for maybe their size

15

except for the fact the only “unique” set of claws around that level range is the silent bladed which are also level 50. weapons between level 1 and 50 are very sparse. there’s like 2 swords and 2 shields. i do not know how useful these are compared to average level 50 weapons

16

Yeah so you don’t know what you’re talking about. Shoudl’ve known.

condescending much
regardless, the point stands. levels don’t do anything. the weapon quality does but it doesn’t do more than improve the size and tiers (and skill slots)
