No, I get how to level up items. What I mean by "heat cap" is that my items have full heat and are ready to level up. What's bothering me is that the heat is still getting divided into them despite them being unable to gain anymore heat.
Since leveling items takes longer with the fire crystal system, I kind of feel that heat should stop dividing into the items that don't need it, just like they would if my items were level 10.
Further incentive to get those fire crystals :D
So the actual, still unanswered, question is if you have items that need the forge right now, does equipping them steal heat from the items that need it?
Someone should find out~
Yes, that is the question.
I have items that need the forge, but I'm not 100% sure that they are stealing heat. My sword feels like its levelling so slowly... but maybe I'm just not getting very much heat?
Why not take off all the stuff you think is stealing heat?
See if you get more on what is left!
Of course, if you can't run without that gear go to some other area, try it with and without the fully-heated stuff.
I think a ready-to-level item won't take any more heat until it's leveled.
You're battle sprite will still eat it up though.
When an item is ready to level up, there's still an animation that makes it look like it's draining heat. That's what make us doubt.
I think it wouldn't waste heat too, but De-X is asking, and I'm not on to check, so let's science it out!
It would make so much sense for it -not- to steal heat, but it could be a bug nobody's cared about yet or something, you never know~~
I attempted to test, but it didn't work out too well since I only have a couple of items that are level 10. All my other stuff has been crafted into higher level gear :C
I would really love if someone with the equipment would like to run a test.
I could be able to. I might try when this lag stops.
As far as I can tell, heat is properly divided only into items that need it; however, no heat (or negligibly little) gets put into your sprite.
I have been wondering the same thing ever since the update. I'll try to run some tests and see what I come up with.
A little more *incentive* to buy those overpriced radiant crystals in the depot.... :D
You have to use the forge. A little notification (star) will pop up when u can level your item (this will happen when in haven or at arsenal stations). You use fire crystals to level up. Or are you saying if your items heat level is 10 already? Sorry i'm confused by what u mean as max heat lvl.
