Possible Bug: Predictable crafting outcome - Guardian Plate

  • What is your character name in New World: LixMK
  • What server/world did you experience your issue on: Ferri
  • Describe the issue you are experiencing: Crafted 3 pieced of Guardian Plate (Chest, Helm, Gloves) w/ forced Resilience and all three rolled Blight Resistance as the random perk. The RNG rolls for this to happen naturally seem extremely unlikely due to the large number of potential perks. These three items were crafted on two different days using all the necessary items for a potential of 600 GS w/ 3 minor armoring trophies.
  • Is this a bug or an exploit: Bug, or crazy RNG
  • (if a bug) How did the issue effect your gameplay: Blight resistance does nothing for me in PVP :wink:
  • (if a bug) Were you able to recover from the issue: I wouldn’t mind my mats back for a shot at a better perk, lol
  • (if a bug) Please include a screenshot or video of the issue that you have experienced: Screenshots at bottom of post.
  • What are the steps to reproduce the issue as you experienced: Craft Guardian Plate items using chunk of consecrated iron to force resilience.

Helm:


Chest:

Gloves:

This actually much more likely to happen than most of the player base would assume.

The perk bucket you are rolling from has a 9.8% chance of giving that specific perk on Guardian Plate. There are a few (5) perks with the same chance of occurring.
So given that you roll one of these 5 (nearly 50% chance) the chance you would then roll two more of the same perk is approximately 1%.

I would recommend rolling a different piece unless you are attempting to get a set for Angry Earth/Lost (as their Wards are included in those high-probability options). Orichalcum for instance has balanced rolls across almost all perks in the buckets.
