I know we as players are just having a discussion here, which is cool. I like discussions =D
But, as far as the devs are concerned… i would “think” that they see this as a non-issue.
When the packages were sold, it specifically said “Craft exclusive tool”. So i feel no matter what, the actual Wayfarers Totem is safe to be Backer-Only for the rest of time, as it should stay “exclusive”. And that’s cool.
Of course, as was pointed out, if another Tool was created, with same or better stats, just different name/skin that would still keep the actual “Wayfarers Totem” still exclusive.
Honestly, i figure is just a matter of time as the Candy, and Gleambow totem makes me think that other totems are on the dev’s minds.
I dunno, to me candy and gleambow totem makes me think the devs want to give backers not only an exclusive tool, but the right to be the only people who can make a best in class item for all of eternity. Which is just wrong.
I believe you are right. The biggest thing I see holding this back is that it is a relatively low priority issue. They seem to have a bunch of big stuff in the works right now, so tool releases may be pretty low on the totem pole.
Edit: Then again, maybe they can release one or two for a quick win now and again. Who knows?
I’ve tried moving my food, brew, weapon, tool, etc crafting points around and maxed them out each time, but nothing’s letting me craft a wayfarer totem. Is it behind a paywall or something?
You can buy them, they are not expensive or you can gather the Materials and ask some one to craft them for you. We still have people capable of crafting them around.
