1-Star and 2-Star Weapons

• Earn fully-crafted 1-Star and 2-Star Weapons varying Craftwork from activities around Midrath.
• Juniper is now acquired as a fully built weapon when gathered from the appropriate Music Shrines.
• Weapons purchased from Enclaves are now acquired wholly crafted.

3-Star Weapons

3-Star weapons, such as Gathannan or Marrow’s Bane, are crafted with the Fragments acquired from their original activities. Once forged, these weapons are granted a random Craftwork.

 

So 1 & 2 star weapons now come as a whole, but 3 star weapons still require collecting fragments. So, why do I still have an absolute truckload of fragments for 1 & 2 star weapons?

I get that I can craft them in the hopes of getting a better quality (same for the 3-star weapons) and I also have the option to use my chaos chordstones, or farm for other chordstones to improve them, or I can farm for them to drop with better quality, but it seems an odd choice to have the old system running alongside the new system.

It seems especially weird considering I have 117 Grinn fragments, which is 58 possible forges, which is 580 hours. Am I understanding this right, or did I miss a post somewhere else?

While searching for the best Whisprig farming method, I tested killing Sprout enemies, destroying balloons (which sometimes drop Whisprig), breaking boxes, and many other approaches.

As some of you may already know, farming Moranite and Sappheline is quite efficient around the Crypts. However, that's also exactly where you should farm Whisprig. The best Crypt is the one southeast of Kearnhold Siege. Simply relog and run there repeatedly, killing all Mockery-type enemies.

These enemies now drop either 0 or 2 Whisprig each. Important note, they drop 4 Whisprig if you have Bromius Foraging buff active. I've already farmed over 200 Whisprig this way. It still takes time, though, and I think we definitely still need an update with more farmable Whisprig.

Second Method

This method is easier to show than explain, so I've attached an image of the route (the place is NE and is easy to find). This method may be especially useful if you're not only interested in Whisprig but also want to gather other resources along the way.

Simply follow the route, open every rack and chest you encounter, then relog and repeat. Sometimes enemies spawn, sometimes they don't. Along the route, you can often find 2 Dendrit Chests, 3-5 Racks (sometimes fewer), and a decent number of Mockeries to kill as well. The racks there oftenly drop Tessard, Nurash and Stultin weapons. Using this method, having Foraging Buff I farmed over 100 Moranite and over 100 Sappheline for an hour or two.

If you have other methods of Whisprig-farming methods to share, feel free to do it as well.

PLEASE don't tell me i've dismantled a moonsteel weapon before I picked it up.

Does anyone have a screenshot of a weapon dropping in world with it?

Edit: it appears the wiki says that you only gain xp from palettes and elixers, of which I have only crafted one, so thats probably it.

Edit 2: yea it was it I am level two and crafting a cohag potion now

Is there a better spot, or is this pretty much it?

I am so lost, is there a "Hey Stupid! Here's How It Works" guide to doing this?

The Evidence!

Cheers.

Also, I didnt hear the devstream so someone can tell, if I level a weapon from "stock" to "noble", for example, will it get tempers when Im refining it ?

Lastly, nice place to farm weapons? Dungeons? world map? Cougha?

There just aren't that many weavers in the game, from what I can see so far. They mainly seem to hang out around Neath'uns dungeons, but there's only a handful in each of those. I get maybe 2 Bile Sacks per run, if I'm lucky. But then I realized Etheldred summons weavers while you fight her. I can't test it for a couple more hours myself, but can anyone tell me if keeping her alive and just killing the small weavers can maybe help me with my Bile Sack problem?

But then in P14.5, I found that I could no longer change targets at all unless I perfect parried a different enemy. No one had an answer for me. So in desperation, I turned off the controller auto-aim again, sort of randomly while flipping all of the switches I could find. And that helped a bit, but it was still pretty wonky. I still did not feel like there was any sort of determinism to who my character wanted to attack at any given moment. I did not feel in control of my character anymore. And I started getting killed a lot more as a result.

Here in P15, it just seems to have gotten worse. Not only can I not choose who I'm targeting, but the game is no longer honoring my blocks. I can be holding a block, with plenty of stagger left, and attacks are still getting through. Not even the charged-up golden attacks. Just random sword swipes.

So what is the intent? How am I *supposed* to be controlling my character? Is the intent of the game that I will get hit even through blocks sometimes?Or is that a straight up bug? What's the the way to determine, with absolute certainty, who my character is going to lunge towards while in a fight with 3-10 opponents? What is the way to switch targets? Is it just me? I feel like melee is broken now.

I re-enabled accessibility aim assist, and it does not fix this issue. I cannot reliably break target to choose a new enemy. Blocks that I am holding are not being honored, and I'm still hit.

Edit: nvm, I'm stupid. I mistook the 'missing' ones for 'starter' points for some reason. So uhm... yeah...
