[Dev Note] Ingots and Whetstones to thee, Blacksmith!

As we introduced in our last Dev Note, "Rules of Survival #1, Securing Food", your Survivors must constantly search for food to keep themselves alive. But to get food, you'll have to fight off the Infested, and to do that you'll need a Weapon.

Weapons in Remore have Durability, meaning that they will become increasingly dull and eventually break over the course of successive battles. It's not easy to take on Infested with broken Weapons, so the Survivors are forced to flee or find new ones.



Jorgn the Blacksmith not only Repairs Weapons damaged in battle, but also Reinforces and Modifies the Weapons the Survivors have, to make them better. He can also Disassemble the Weapons to use them as materials to reinforce other Weapons.



Although ravaged by Infested, there are still a number of items left in Remore, including items that would be useful in a Blacksmith's Shop, such as Iron Ingots, Whetstones, and Glue. You might also find Weapons that were left behind.



Bring the material items you've collected during your battles with the Infested to Jorgn, who will use these resources to Forge and Enhance your Weapons, Reinforcing them for greater performance.

Reinforced Weapons have increased Stats, such as Damage and Critical Hit Chance, which can make these Weapons more effective against enemies that threaten the Survivors.



In addition, a Weapon that has been reinforced to its Maximum Capacity can be modified into a higher-ranked Weapon of the same type, but with New Skills.

For example, if you take a normal ranked Two-handed Axe, such as the “Woodcutter's Axe”, and modify it to the “Tribal Axe”, it will gain the new skill “Execute (Instantly Kill Enemies below 50% Health)”, in addition to the original Skills “Axe Slash (Line up to 3 Enemies)” and “Ambush Chop (Single Attack with High Critical Chance)”.



In total, 14 “Common” Tier Weapons can be modified to higher Tiers of “Uncommon/Rare”, bringing the total number of Weapons available to the Survivors to around 42. We wanted to make sure that by the time you've gotten the hang of using the common Tier Weapons, you'll have gained access to higher Tier Weapons with new Skills, giving you more and more tactical options.

We can't wait to see which Weapons will become your favorite way of battling the Infested!
Till next time!

Thank you
