A Warhammer: Vermintide 2 tutorial for crafting and other vaguely useful information 

You are correct. Each time the player opens a chest or crafts an item, the power of the items they get is determined by the average power level of the most powerful items they have found in chests in every item slot. So opening a few chest then crafting what your lowest item is to bring it more in line with the others is the way to go.

That is wonderful

Same here!

I am glad to be of assistance.

Glad it helped

That is wonderful to hear.

Yes*. The item trait will remain the same, and the only change to properties is they will improve to their highest tier. For example: an axe with swift slaying, 15% crit damage, and 3% crit chance will(when upgraded to red) have swift slaying, 20% crit damage, and 5% crit chance. If the orange item already has the highest tier properties it can get there will be no change(as a reminder orange weapons will not guarantee max properties if you re-roll the properties while red items will.) TLDR: Yes. The best kind of yes. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the quick answer! Guess I can reroll my orange items for properties without "wasting" too many ressources then. @@ratman_horatio

You're welcome

I apologize for the delayed response! The issue you are encountering can be fixed by simply unequipping the problem weapon(or item) from all careers that have it equipped. Once it is unequipped it should appear in the upgrade section. I hope this helps. :)

@@ratman_horatio I thought that too but my other wizards are with sword. I just find solution, i give it to all and your chanel. I created an other (green) and an other orange and this time this last was in my listing an was ok for upgrade. ^^ thank you.

@@marcx2005 Are you entirely certain that you have un-equipped the item in question from all careers *and* load-outs that use it? If that is the case you may have encountered a bug I have never heard of. Sorry I was unable to fix you're issue, and am unable to provide any additional advice.

@@ratman_horatio Yes, i am certain and i checked several times during the week. But the problem is solved now, a new crafted flail was upgrade in red.

I have been led to believe that RSB (Right stick button/pressing the right stick) is weapon special. Remember to tap it not hold it.

@@ratman_horatio ty I'll give it a try today

As far as I am aware weapons cannot roll Power vs Chaos and Skaven at the same time.

Thank you!

Character and Environment texture quality are set to high, Anti-Aliasing is set to TAA, and everything else is set to lowest or off. I also have AMD FSR 1.0 set to ultra quality. Hope this helps.
