FAQ – New World Crafting Calculator
A: No, this calculator focuses on yield, speed, and success probability. The specific perks and stat rolls on critical crafts are subject to a separate, more complex RNG system influenced by gear, perks, and luck.
A: The Time Efficiency Modifier is a more abstract multiplier representing the inherent time cost. The Crafting Speed Modifier, directly influenced by station tier and buffs, actively reduces the time taken. This calculator aims to estimate the combined effect on time.
A: While 200 skill generally guarantees success for 600 GS items if the required reagents are present, the calculator estimates based on various potential factors. Very rarely, slight fluctuations or specific server-side mechanics might occur. In most practical cases, 200 skill for 600 GS is effectively 100% success if the item is craftable at that tier.
A: Sum up all applicable percentage bonuses. For example, if you have +5% from food and +3% from a HWM perk on gear, your total is 8%.
A: The core principles apply, but specific item level requirements, base times, and station bonuses differ. This calculator is primarily tuned for weaponsmithing, armoring, and engineering, but the general modifiers can offer a rough estimate for other trades.
A: It refers to the quality of the primary crafting components. For example, using Iron Ingots might be 1.0x, while Voidmetal Ingots could be 1.5x. Select the multiplier that best represents the rarity and tier of your main materials.
A: The critical craft chance is an estimate. It's heavily influenced by your skill level relative to the item's required level, but specific gear perks (like +Crit Chance on tools or armoring gear) significantly boost this value and are not explicitly calculated here beyond base estimates.
A: This calculator does not directly factor in the cost of resources. It focuses on the *efficiency* and *outcome* of the craft itself. Calculating profitability requires comparing the estimated yield and potential value against the market price of the required materials.
