From the information I was able to gather, it’s currently not possible to use patterns AND timeless shards at the same time. While I can somewhat understand this decision when it comes to the 600gs patterns, I don’t quite get why I can’t apply the Christmas skins while being able to set an attribute. This would be purely cosmetic and wouldn’t make crafting too strong. That being said, I haven’t had the opportunity to test it myself yet, my information is only based on hearsay.
If my information is correct though, I’d love to see a change that makes it possible to apply a cosmetic pattern and a timeless shard on the same weapon.
Sorry if this has been brought up before and thanks for reading.
I am in a similar boat, I think the winter patterns present an opportunity to act as a sort of skin system. Letting us use them in conjunction with the timeless shard would be such a good quality of life change instead of wasting them to roll X amount of junk bows
Yes, exactly. I decided to buy as many patterns of weapons as possible for now. Maybe they’ll find a way to implement something like a skin system that also includes the possibility of adding dyes. I’m enjoying the game mostly for PvP content like duels and OPR, but the fashion aspect is something I’d like to see being expanded on. It’s basically an integral part of my personal endgame.
ESO had a similar problem in the beginning, but they came up with a solution I was VERY happy with. Maybe make it less of a gold sink, eh?
