Can I get a clarification on Survivalist

Post by Wyrmwrath »

Survivalist :

Pick one exotic item that for your character requires one less commodity.
If that item is destroyed, you may choose another item. This perk may be
gained a Maximum of 2 times

does this mean I can pick heavy armor and it takes on less commidity to make or to maintain?

Meant quality sorry.

Just wasnt sure if it was production or upkeep it affected.

I get how the skill works and since its only a one commodity discount, its moot wether you count a full suit as one item or four, but the rules to my understanding speak of locaions in a suit. Implying taht when a suit of armor is made it covered 1 to 4 locations but is still on item.

You can scavange different locations and wear them together and under that circumstance you have seperate item tags, but the quality suit i have is one tag (if I am racalling correctly) not one for each of the 4 locations.

If you are referring to Quality Armor than you cannot use Survivalist to lower the upkeep of the locations. They require coin to upkeep and not commodities so the skill would not function according to the wording.

each location is a separate item. even if you have one tag.(that is sometimes done if we are low on tags.)

even the crafting of the armor one piece at a time.

^ This. I have had several suits of quality armor with various characters, and all of them had 4 tags per full suit.

Just to clarify the Perk is meant to say that you pick one Exotic item you own and the Upkeep for that item is 1 Commodity less (minimum zero).

The question of how many times it can be bought is going to be looked into - depending on where you look it says either once or twice.

Also Morgan is correct, this Perk would not work with Regular Quality armor as it is upkept in coin and not Commodities. But some of the other Quality armors (Balanced/Form-Fitting) do require Commodities and would be affected, but it would only affect 1 location of that armor, not the whole suit.

If you do have a Tag that is a whole suit on one tag see me at WH if you are there and I can get you a tag for each location.
