Pre-DLC crafted sets quick question

Shakenbake393
Will it be possible to craft any of the current sets at the increased cap level? i.e., can I have VR16 Ashen's Grip?

    Set your goal to VR15 for crafted gear, at least it's achievable.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Where can I see details on this? Why is it so difficult?

    Its not that it's difficult, its just the mat count jumps up between VR15 and VR16 from 15 to 110 or something like that. Most other steps in gear add one mat needed. The VR15/16 gear only gives one mat on decon, so farming for the mats takes longer. I don't know if you can farm raw mats like for other materials, but you would need 10 times those just like any raw mats. You could used TV Stones to buy the mats, but that is a Farm Grind too. So, your not going to be buying a single stack of mats to make a gear set, more like 5 to 10 stacks for a complete set of gear. And, that is not cheap, in time spent or currency spent.

    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    So all new mats for 15/16, just takes a butt-ton to do 16. Is that right?

    Actually, my VR14 purple is better than the dropped sets of VR16 purples.

    And it will take WEEKS or months for me to get mats to replace every one of them up to VR16. Probably just tough it until Orcsinium, when the mats will be laying on the ground.

    Power level to CP160 in a week:
    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.
  • Shakenbake393
    Maybe this is a bug? 11 to 110 for one level is absurd

    Probably just make vr15 blues and wait to see if it's a bug

    Are you making 16s already? Is blue 15 equal to or better/worse than purple 14?

    No, I haven't made them. I visited each of the crafting stations and selected the same item for crafting. I wrote down the effect values only for lvl 10, VR1, and VR16.

    This is great information.
    Just an FYI, you have the 5 piece Ashen Grip bonus as the 5 piece Death's Wind bonus

    Sadly, it's not a bug. ZOS has confirmed it is working as intended in other threads, also on ZOS Live.
