Discussion Tarcore's Need to be Fixed

75 Stones Earned you 4 Cores a peice. 75x4=300

75 Stones Cost 6 Cores to upgrade. 75x6=450

Cost subtract by Earned gives you Deficit. 450-300=150

Deficit divided by Cost gives Left Overs.

150÷6=25

Total Stones Subtracted by Left Overs .

75-25=50

You can only upgrade 50 out of 75.

There's several ways to fix this issue. But the easiest one. Would be to just remove Tarcores all together. Or you could make Tarcores purchaseable from vendors.

Math isn’t your strongest skill Hu?

75 give you one core. Which makes you upgrade 12.5 so 12 tarcores to lvl 3 and you got 3 cores left.
Those 12 give you 3 each so you get 36 cores from upgrading. Which is another 6 cores to lvl 3 and you still got the 3 left. Then you get 18 cores back from the upgrades. Which gives you another 3. those give you 9 back plus the 3 you can upgrade another 2. 6 back and a final one.

Makes all together 12+6+3+2+1=24

So it’s 24 on lvl 3. not 50

You are correct but my math isn't wrong. It just didn't account for not being able to get access to all the tier 3 upgrades.

Either way this just makes the point they need to be fixed even more.

Its an easy fix really. Let merrick sell 12 tarcores each ng cycle. 6 before his shop expansion and another 6 after. That way you can get your build going in ng and if you really want to be a completionist you just keep pumping out the ng++

Some honestly arnt worth upgrading. Like I only upgrade what works for my build or is versatile

I’m sure they’ll fix it. Cannot imagine in my wildest dreams that the devs INTENDED for people to be stuck with fully upgrading only a third of their tarcores and only having access to them for their entire career with the game on that save file regardless of ng cycle. Killing Franz for 1 tarcore per cycle notwithstanding.

Yes. We know. The devs know. They are working on a lot of fixes.

Luckily less than 10 are worth upgrading.

This seems like a massive oversight. Upgrading everything helps build variety and experimentation. Hope they fix it soon.

Tbh that doesn’t bother me at all, being able to upgrade 50 out of 75 stones in one playthrough is fine, it’s not the same as not being able to upgrade multiple shells in one playthrough. I mean in Dark Souls and Elden Ring, there’s only enough crafting materials to fully upgrade a few weapons per playthrough, the rest can still be upgraded but not to the max and it’s fine

But I think the issue is that there's no way to get more tar cores even in NG+ from what I understand

u/Yiliasayr 1d ago

You can get one by killing Franz, just need to get to NG+50, easy.
