but let me get this correct if I craft an item at 599 gear score the expertise will only be 500 and will need 50 gypsum casts to get 600 ,but if I craft 600 gs then the expertise goes to 600 is that correct ?
No, expertise is not affected by what you craft. It will stay 500, or whatever your level is. It is levelled by high level content and gypsum system. And as of now it is capped at 590 (though next year it should be increased to 600 so the high GS items people buy or find can be used).
However things you buy now (or craft at any time) keep their GS even in the new system.
Can somebody btw explain me what exactly happens if I have 500 expertise and use higher GS item? It’s stats are lower than displayed or become highier when my expertise will rise? Or what?
I’ve red this before. I know i’m stupid and my english sucks, but I still can not find the info. If my expertise is 500, the item GS is 550 and it’s descriptin says “+24 intelligence”, the effective stat is what? “+21.81 intelligence”?
Ignore EVERYTHING about effective stats because this does not come into effect until a patch in 2022. Try not to run before you can walk.
From the looks of things the OP might be a new lvl 60 or someone who hasn’t really done much end-game content.
To put it simply, the gearscore on your gear and the purple expertise numbers are completely different numbers.
The purple expertise number only tells you what the next drop from an end-game activity will roll at. You can increase the roll number by crafting gypsum chests etc.
The geascore on the gear determines the gears strength (before looking at stats and perks).
A 550 item with 24 intelligence will give you 24 intelligence regardless of what the purple expertise number says.
The effective GS would be then 525, not sure what is the exact attribute value then, there was some on-line calculator that shows what are the exact values and attributes for certain GS.
Aaaahhh, so expertise and GS are only stats for item drop? Ok… I’m not sure then why bother if you can buy or create 600 GS item. But ok, I’ll probably will not live long enough to hit this ceiling.
This really screws the crafter then , there is no point crafting say jewels to 590 as you will only get level 500 drops after bit of a waste time crafting to 200 now in fact its a bit pointless trying to be a crafter or solo player in this game
