Use Prime Mats To Prime An Unprimed Item

[CaveCricket48]

So you want a Latron Prime (hypothetically speak). You have all the parts and the required credits to craft.

 

BUT.

 

You also have a plain ol' Latron which has been 4 times forma'd and potato'd, and you really don't want to go through the process of doing all that over again for the slightly better version of your gun.

 

SOLUTION:

 

Instead of crafting that Latron Prime, you have the option to UPGRADE your existing Latron, changing it into a Latron Prime and consuming the Latron Prime mats in the process. The Latron Prime has its level set to 0, but now you don't have to waste forma and a potato!

 

PROS

 - You save a potato

 - You save forma

 

CONS

 - Have to re-level (well, you'd have to level a newly crafted Latron Prime anyways)

 - You have one gun instead of two (only the Latron Prime, instead of the Latron + Latron Prime)

 - You paid a buttload of credits for the upgrading process, more than the credits it would take to normally craft

I believe it is the same thing as creating a dual viper or any weapons which has the same similarity. You can waste your potato on a viper but when you forge to be a dual viper, it is gone.

tbh, I have every "double" counterpart of the primes, just sitting around. But also, I didnt potato those, so actually I don't think they'll add this feature in the near future.

Plz run far and fast...

 

and dont turn back..

 

Prime is a technologie that Tenno forgot the essense

Meaning for now they dont create thoose weapons like we craft the other,

but we actually use part allready crafted by orochins, and just put them together

 

 

and wut ? yu think Dev's can buy beer with in gamme credit?

n

if so...

 

i guess it's a good idea, but i actually doubt it

Think this would be an awesome feature to have, would make a lot of people less annoyed when a flat upgrade version of their weapon comes out.

I @(*()$ love this idea. Also, whe crafting a dual wielded weapon, if you have one weapon potatoed, I'd be happy if you didn't lose it in the process of making the dual version.

Good idea! most people complain about when they upgrade a wep that when the prime comes out they lose all that.. well this is a good way of fixing that.. also i looked up and saw that creds wont help DE well maybe plat can be used instead (not too much)

[Ruelle]

I like this idea! <3

i dont like it, the prime weapons are new weapons so i think they should be seperate.
