We can use metallurgy materials for Tcon melee weapons right? Just not arrows and bolts?
Apparently so, but whenever I've tried swapping a component for a metallurgy component, it doesn't always work.
I'm still using an iron tinkers sword, a steel hammer and iron pickaxe (now successfully upgraded with a orchi head) (all quest rewards), all have levelled up extremely high. The sword currently deals 22.5 base damage.
Haven't used Tcon Bows/Crossbows, all the reward ones you find have been pretty useless (even those in epic/legendary bags) and instead have been one-two shotting things with normal bows and arrows.
TBH, almost the Tcon (and addon stuff) you find/given have been junk, I have so many chests filled with shields and weapons, I'm now just destroying any new ones.
Correct, but be careful. you cannot smelt down the Metallurgy tool parts, like you can most of the other metals. Once you cast Metallurgy metals you're done.
I've been able to, at least the early quest rewards I smelted down to turn back into ingots. Haven't tried later rewards, been generally trashing them as useless. Haven't used the Smeltry since Miners Delight^3
If you get back to the overworld at around 1000,1000 there's a deep dark portal and an end portal. The end portal takes you back to the base.
Thanks! I really need to empty my inventory, as there has been some useful needed stuff in overworld (magnesium and mushrooms!)
