Q&A: Character Progression

[Vastar]

@Zouls

In the end i personally think it very much depends on HOW often you need to upgrade gear, if you need to get new gear every 2 hours then it might quickly become a problem. but if you can go a few days with the gear you have and then still work but be less efficient with lower tier gear i think its completely fair that you need to get a crafter to make stuff for you

Seems like items will last for a few days:

@olliepurkiss

Amongst others @Vastar asked about how long the weapons and tools would last, and that is something we will need to balance very carefully. Generally we don’t want buying more items to be a chore, or something you constantly have to do, neither do we want people carrying stacks and stacks of them around, but we do want getting hold of new items as a key part of the game loop(s). If I had to put a number on it at this stage I would say each would last many days.
