"The Yard"

The Yard serves a number of purposes, which include:

  • Scrapping/dismantling any item for their set value.
  • Mastercrafting (MC) and Godcrafting (GC) weapons and armour.
  • Dyeing clothing and armour.
  • Renaming weapons and armour.

Scrapping/Dismantling[]

Scrapping an item will remove the item from the game, but gives you a fixed amount of cash for it. Alternatively, any 120 proficiency weapon or repair level 75+ armor can be dismantled for a Rare Metal Scrap Crafting Materials, required to craft end-game gears. Items disposed these ways can be recovered for their full scrapping/dismantling value through the Recover interface, provided that you act within 2 hours of their demise.

You can read more details on Item Scrapping here.

Godcrafted items share the same scrap value as mastercrafted items.

Mastercrafting[]

Weapons, Armours and Backpacks can be enhanced by giving the player that has them equipped, a boost in their Stats. Items with these enhancements are called Master Crafted (MC for short) or also "God Crafted" by the players if the enhancements are maxed out.
Notes

  • All stat enhancements will be directly added to your stats as long as the item is equipped.
  • The Scrap Price of the item doubles as soon as it is Master Crafted, no matter what the boost values are.
  • It is possible to GC an item (8/8/8 for weapons, 24/24 for armors, +3 slots for backpacks) from performing a regular MC, with the chances for weapon and armor being 1/512 and 1/576. Looted MC'd weapons can also have a lucky GC, at an even rarer chance.
    • Backpacks instead have a 80% chance for +1 slots, 19% for +2 slots, and only 1% for +3 slots.
  • MCing an item always gives it at least 1 point of each stats, unlike looted MC'd weapons which may have 1 or 2 stats missing.

Possible Weapons Enhancements[]

All Weapons can boost up to 3 Stats in the following order:

  • Accuracy
  • Reloading
  • Critical Hit

The boost value goes from 0 (in which case the boost will not be displayed as it is non-existent) to a maximum of 8. Below are some examples of a Pen Knife in various Master Crafted states:

Example Description
"First example of MC bonuses on a weapon This is the basic Pen Knife without any Stats bonus, it is not considered "Master Crafted".
"Second example of MC bonuses on a weapon A Master Crafted Pen Knife with only 1 Stats bonus at a random value.
"Second example of MC bonuses on a weapon A Master Crafted Pen Knife with only 2 Stats bonus at a random value.
"First example of MC bonuses on a weapon A Master Crafted Pen Knife with all 3 Stats bonuses at random values.
"Third example of MC bonuses on a weapon A "God Crafted" Pen Knife with all 3 Stats bonuses at their maximum values.

Possible Armour Enhancements[]

All Armours can boost up to 2 Stats in the following order:

  • Agility
  • Endurance

The boost value goes from 0 (in which case the boost will not be displayed as it is non-existent) to a maximum of 24. Below are some examples of ax Exterminator Mesh in various Master Crafted states:

Example Description
"Example of an armour without any MC bonus This is the basic Exterminator Mesh without any Stats bonus, it is not considered Master Crafted.
"Second example of MC bonuses on an armour A Master Crafted Exterminator Mesh with only 1 Stats bonus at a random value.
"Third example of MC bonuses on an armour A Master Crafted Exterminator Mesh with it's 2 Stats bonuses at random values.
"Forth example of MC bonuses on an armour A "God Crafted" Exterminator Mesh with both Stats bonuses at their maximum values.

How To Master Craft[]

There are several ways to grant your weapons or armour the ability to boost your Stats. The most affordable way would be to find a Master Crafted item while looting in the Inner City, with a bit of luck it will have a nice boost too.

The second way to have a Stats boost on your item is to enhance it for a certain price. To do this you have to visit The Yard which is located on the main Outpost screen. Next drag the item you want to enhance on the enhance icon.

Notes
  • There is no limit on how many times you enhance an item (it is not possible to MC an already Godcrafted item)
  • All enhancements are random.
  • All previous enhancements on the item will be lost if you enhance it again.
  • When enhancing, it is impossible to get anything lower than 1 in each enhancement.
  • The last way to enhance your equipment is by paying a certain amount of Credits to have it God Crafted. It's done the same way as Master Crafting, just use the relevant icon.
Prices
  • 250 Credits for a maxed out (God Crafted) weapon -> 8/8/8
  • 500 Credits for a maxed out (God Crafted) armour -> 24/24

Dyeing[]

A new feature was added in November 15, 2009 to The Yard which allowed you to color your Armour or your Clothing. There are 2 different options: Apprentice Dye and Master Dye. Both color your selected armour or clothes but both have different functions. The Apprentice Dye will choose a random color, but the Master Dye lets you choose whichever color you want.

  • There is no Limit to how many times you dye an Armour or Clothing.
  • When using the Apprentice Dye, Be warned that you could get the same color again.
  • All Clothing costs are item dependent (Apprentice Dye) or 100 Credits (Master Dye) to dye.
  • All Armour costs are item dependent (Apprentice Dye) or 250 Credits (Master Dye) to dye.

Renaming Weapons and Armour[]

Players may rename their weapons and armour at The Yard for a fee of 500 credits. The renames must be greater than 3 characters, and smaller than 24. There are no particular restriction to weapon renames; profanities are allowed, though we advise you to be sensible in choosing your renames anyway. Additionally, renames can be removed for a small fee of 50 credits (hover the renamed weapon over the Rename service to see this option)

Typically, renames are used for level 120 weapons or the strongest piece of armour that one owns, but some rename weaponry and armour that may have some sort of sentimental value, or simply as a joke. Gold Members DO NOT get a reduced cost for renaming their weapons and armour.
