New Crafting System – Are New Weapons & Armors Stronger? Once Human Calibration System Rework Guide

New crafting & calibration rework (Once Human)

Overview

The enhancement-based calibration system has been removed and replaced by a crafting-focused system where item stats come from skins (armor) and selected calibrations at craft time (weapons). Crafting and calibration are generally cheaper and simpler — no more enhancement materials or energy links, and weapon calibration during crafting is free.

Major changes

• Enhancing gear is removed — you can no longer enhance armor or weapons.
• Armor stats now come from skins; weapon stats come from calibrations chosen during crafting.
• Crafting/calibration costs are reduced: no enhancement materials or energy links, and weapon calibration at crafting is free.

Armor

• Materials and skins are still required to craft armor.
• Armor stats are tied to skin rarity/quality. Higher-quality skins give higher stats (example: standard ≈ 30% of legendary).
• Some skins had their rarities changed (example: Westland Wolf moved from epic → legendary).
• If you craft armor with lower-quality skins you will lose stats; use legendary skins when you care about stats more than visual effects.
• Fabric changes (changing fabrics) are available only on PvP servers.
• Crafting a new piece generally matches previously enhanced items when using equivalent skin quality — small preview differences may appear, but equipping shows parity.

Weapons & calibrations

• Calibrations are now selected during crafting and are treated like crafting materials.
• Each calibration provides:
  • A “weapon damage” (base attack) value, and
  • One single additional stat (for example: crit damage, elemental damage, weak spot damage, or crit rate).
• Mixed-stat rolls are removed. Instead of multiple smaller bonuses, you get one higher-value secondary stat.
• Old calibrations cannot be used directly to craft new weapons. Instead:
  • Disassemble old calibrations to obtain the new-type calibration for the same weapon class (disassembly yields a weapon-class calibration with new stats).
• Disassembling dropped weapons still yields calibrations based on tier/rarity.

Important handling notes (old items / Eternal End / Eternaland)

• Old calibrations in Eternaland/Eternal End can be transferred to the main game for free, then disassembled there to get new calibrations.
• Do NOT disassemble calibrations while in Eternal End/Eternaland if you want usable new calibrations — disassembling there gives Astral Sand (Eternal End currency) instead of new calibrations.
• Old mod crates can also be transferred for free.

Warning: If you plan to convert old calibrations into the new system, always transfer them out of Eternal End/Eternaland first; disassembling inside those areas will not produce usable calibrations.

Comparison test / performance

• Test setup: compared the same blueprint maxed weapon crafted before vs. after the update (weapon: Last Valor, rapid-shot style, same ammo/accessories, no extra gear/cradles).
• Results:
  • New crafted weapon had about ~7% higher base damage than the old enhanced weapon.
  • Example numbers: new base ~478 vs old ~447; attack stat 445 vs 416.
• The damage gap increases when multiplicative bonuses (gear, mods, cradles) are applied.
• Note: The weapon-damage stat primarily benefits physical builds; elemental builds gain little from weapon-damage calibrations.

UI / quality-of-life

• It is harder to see which calibration was applied because calibration stats are merged into weapon base stats and new calibrations visually resemble old ones.
• Cleaning up inventory can help reduce confusion between old and new calibrations.

Key tips / recommended actions

• Prefer crafting armor with high-quality / legendary skins for best stats.
• Keep upgrading blueprints — they still increase attack, sig intensity, or HP.
• Transfer old calibrations from Eternaland/Eternal End to the main game, then disassemble them there to obtain new calibrations appropriate to the weapon class.
• Do not disassemble calibrations while still in Eternal End/Eternaland if you want usable new calibrations.
• Clean your inventory to identify which calibrations are old versus new.
• Expect overall lower crafting cost — no enhancement fees/materials required anymore.
