Talk:Crafting

Crow T. Robot 15:06, 1 July 2010 (UTC) A question for those who currently have the means to do it. Is it possible to rebuild headgear for a specific class? I recently crafted for Soldier and got the Kabuto, which I am not particularly pleased with. Is it possible to rebuild headgear with a soldier tolken, or should I resign to my fate?

No, sadly not. The only surefire hat craft currently is the Fabricate Bonk Helm blueprint, so you'll have to do a random craft and leave it to chance if you want a Soldier Hat, or build up another 4 refined metals and a token (the safest, but also most tedious option).

Save the hats you dislike for the supposedly upcoming trading feature. With any luck, it will be alongside the Engineer update. Infi^ 15:09, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Portuguese available

After lots of work, I finally translated THE WHOLE PAGE to Portuguese. Finally! --EpicEric 19:44, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Smelting Metal

While I'm aware that this may be considered a method for trying to get the Golden Wrench, is it really necessary to remove it? Likely, anyone who didn't already know about this recipe would not be continually doing this to try and get a Golden Wrench. There's no reason to be political about this, we're an information resource. --Firestorm 21:16, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

It has been removed from the blueprints. You can't do it anymore. — WindPower 21:16, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

oh.. well don't I feel stupid? --Firestorm 21:18, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, that's why I removed it. I didn't remove it to be political. :3 -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 21:26, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Still not re-enabled for some reason. Sam-1-14 01:11, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

"Smelt Value"

Can someone explain this to me and a friend. It seems to make no sense whatsoever. Thanks in advance. SenileOldFool 10:26, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

You're going to use up a lot of weapons when crafting, only to end up with less than you had to begin with unless you're crafting metal. Then again, if you craft a weapon or a hat from said metal, you'll lose more. It's basically net loss in terms of materials. It takes 8 weapons to make a class-specific one, but it's only worth 1... -- Vi3trice _(talk) 10:47, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Gold, Silver, and Copper?

While I was browsing through the backpack materials in GCFScape, I've noticed something interesting. In "materials/backpack/crafting", there seems to be three unused tokens. However, unlike the other tokens, they are simply circles with the names on them, which I don't understand why. AbeX300 22:30, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

They're old and scrapped. They've been there since crafting's release. Likely metal placeholders before they made the names and pictures. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 22:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Engineer Tokens

Possible now, can we remove that note about Engineer Tokens. It's untrue. -- Smashman... _{(t • s)} 22:24, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

PDA2 Slot token...

...has gone bye-bye. http://www.tf2items.com/id/Smashman2004  – Smashman _(talk) 06:44, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I lost mine too :( But, I emailed Robin Walker and he has promised a token to replace it! Try emailing him. Vorless 16:16, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Vita-Saw Blueprint

It seems that the Polycount Update weapons are a previous weapon of similar nature and a piece of Refined Metal. This raises the question, does the Ubersaw + Refined Metal produce a Vita-saw? Personally, I don't have any Refined metal to test the idea, but it sounds logical to me, so it might be worth a try. Jarimesce 23:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Nope, you can see the list here of all crafting blueprints. And it's one reclaimed metal, not refined. --Firestorm 23:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

We would have heard by now, so no.  – Smashman _(talk) 23:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

There are recipes for KGB+refined=GRU and ubersaw+refined=vitasaw, but the section at the bottom also says: "As of the Mann-Co update, all of the Polycount weapons are currently craftable, as listed above. However, the Heavy's Gloves of Running Urgently and the Medic's Vita-Saw are NOT craftable. " Which is correct? Crap 09:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually got a pair of kgb to test with and confirmed the GRU recipe does work. Screenshot of the blueprints here: [1] Crap 13:51, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
