If we had a single type of steel, but many types with their own breakdowns based on the items you’re crafting, we’d have the added benefit of accessing resources. For instance, when you use jewelry sets, you don’t need extremely high-quality materials. In that case, you’d have to consider the breakdown of percentages required for crafting different items.

What the main reason for combining resources?

What are you looking for to craft?

In previous experiences there were often items that couldn't be capped due to a resource/resources never having spawned with the right stat combinations. I wasn't aware that the crafting jewelry was powerful enough to negate and allow less than near perfect resources to be used and still get good results. I'm interested to see just how much they can improve crafting ability with resources. This type of change might not be needed.

Well, I would actually like to say that the way of obtaining deeds of crates here is quite good. You can essentially begin ramping up your productivity quickly. However, OQ is not used in all items. If you are not aware of it, SWGAIDE provides you with a comprehensive list of all the items available per resource.

I agree with the crates. The example was more to say if you have a steel that's OQ 900, conductivity 930, potential energy 400. And the item you want to craft is 33%/33%/33%. You do however, have a steel that's OQ 780, conductivity 850, potential energy 920. Combine the two using the highest stats from each to be able to cap the stats. Maybe there have been enough resources spawned over the lifetime pf the server that it isn't an issue with crates?
