How Does Crafting and Refining Gear Work?

This is a general question of how all of this gear works, since I have been unable to test it in game.

Refining Gear
By this I mean things like “Tanner Pants” and “Smelter’s Pants” that provide a 2% increase in yield when refining the respective resources. I have noticed that there can potentially be different tiers of items that seem like they provide the same bonus. Example:

  • T3 Tanner Pants - Leather Accumulation (2% increased yield when leather-working)
  • T5 Tanner Pants - Leather Accumulation (2% increased yield when leather-working)

These seem exactly the same, but are they? Do the T3 pants only work on T3 resources? Is there any value other than aesthetics for the T5 gear?

Crafting Gear
The same question applies to the crafting gear. I have seen T4 and T5 gear. Does this apply to their respective levels when crafting? i.e. T4 crafting gear “Armorer’s Gloves”; does it work on all crafting or just T4 gear?

Thanks in advance for the responses!

In addition to those questions, I have a follow up.

Is the 2% yield increase a flat increase? So crafting 100 charcoal will always give 102 charcoal?

Or is it increasing my percent to craft extras by 2%? So instead of a 7% chance to craft extra items, I have a 9% chance?

I think I actually know this one. When you wear the gear, it increases the “% chance to craft extra” number in the crafting window. So I believe that translates to the % chance increase, not a flat amount.

I thought that might be the case, but haven’t gotten any of that gear yet.

I guess we could answer the OP’s question by equipping the gear, looking at the various tier’s % chance, then unequipping and doing the same.

I have a full set of tanners gear. Each piece claims it improves yield by 2% (x5 pieces) when leatherworking. This should total 10% improved yield, at least on average. As far as I can tell, there is zero effect from using this gear while refining leather. The craft interface doesn’t show any additional chance of a higher yield while wearing it, and I’ve yet to notice any additional yield vs when I forget to wear it.

Dang that’s disappointing to hear. I’d love to hear a dev’s feedback on this since I’ve had the opposite experience with the tanner’s gear. Since I made this post I was able to get all 5 pieces and it seems like the yield is increased when I wear it. But now I wonder if that’s just placebo.

With the amount of bugs confirmed in the game my confidence is not very high.

I have not been able to get any of the armor items though to confirm the T4 v.s. T5 bonus.
