Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Help/Tips/Tricks Items that cannot be upgraded in Divinty: OS

Before everyone jumps the gun and say they can .. let me clear up what I mean by CANNOT BE UPGRADED I don't mean the items listed below aren't ABLE to be upgraded, I'm saying they cannot be upgraded because there are no instructions on HOW.

1. The Drag and drop doesn't work for a Wetstone, an Anvil, and a Furnaces like you do everything else in this game.

2. Other than a Wetstone, an Anvil, and a Furnace, there is no place in the game that I can find that you can drag and drop these items into which is how you upgrade metal weapons and armors.

3. There are also no instructions anywhere (Including the crafting guide on this site) that explain HOW TO UPGRADE any of these item types. It doesn't matter if you know what ingredients you need to upgrade an item if you're never explained how to use those ingredients in order to get the item upgraded.


HERE IS THE LIST OF ITEM TYPES THAT NEED INSTRUCTIONS FOR UPGRADING:


So yeah as it stands now the items on the list above cannot be upgraded because there are no instructions on how to get them upgraded.

You can extract ItemCombos.txt in Main.pak (\Main\Public\Main\Stats\) to see all possible combinations.

You can drag and drop an item to another one in your inventory (as if you were trying to stack two stack of identical potion for instance). You don't necessarily need an external item such as anvil or furnaces for crafting purpose.

Exemple: Arrowhead + arrow shaft = arrow.

As for leather armor, you need to "boil it" (adventurer tome XII) This is done with a mobile kitchen (either in your inventory or outside your inventory). It can be further boosted with metal scrap.

Mace and staff can be boosted by a moonstone. Just drag and drop the moonstone on your mace/staff.

Be aware that most of the crafting recipe are not in any ingame book. So you will have to do a lot of trial and error if you want to explore it without help. I think this is a waste of time because the recipe are all but logical and exhaustive (eg: you can't craft a dagger from an iron bar).
