I'm a year late to this, I use to play this game every single day religiously, non-stop constant grind. I fell off for awhile cause I just honestly got tired of doing everything as a solo player but I logged back on today and saw some new things along with the optimization station and now I actually have something to work towards again.
Dude.. if you don’t collect material caches from manhunts/global events etc.. they will drop in your stash at the end of the event .... saves on cache space 👍🏻
When I break down High-End (gold/yellow) materials, I am not award the weapon alloys or armor weaves. Am I too low a level? I just passed over Level 30, upgraded my bench to World Tier II (330-350). But anytime I deconstruct a High-End material, if those materials are present, I am given a fat zero. When I check my resources on the Optimization table, they are all zero. Am I doing something wrong? I just picked this game back up after being on my back burner for two years. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you to the uploader for this video. This helped me understand this process more.
Your weapons have to be level 40 in order to get the alloy from deconstructing them. Complete WONY and all weapons and gear you loot or get from caches will be level 40 and available for their specific crafting components to be broken down to use at the optimization station. From Massive's perspective, this is to get people to play the DLC and continue to improve the build and attributes of the Agents, but if you want the benefits of not only the optimization station but all the perks from the watch I suggest you complete WONY, enter the endgame and do the seasons and global events in addition to open world farming. If you stay in the World Tiers your gear is going to always suck.
hey what’s Skills dam it’s been a while glad to see your still on the game, I just got back to the game a few days ago. Good video I needed some refresher tips
I’m new just got to level 40 and can’t you upgrade your bench why wouldn’t you focus on upgrading your bench to craft higher gear then use the optimization table?
How many alert level 4 control points do I have to clear before I can craft bundles at the crafting station? It's restricting me from crafting them. New player here
To me SHD calibration are the hardest to get & everything else is easy. Do CP or land mark in DZ & deconstruct everything you dont need & you'll have a lot of everything, but when it comes to SHD calibration... well good luck.
@@whocaresreallywho2464 Thank you for the guidance. Really appreciate the help. Took a long hiatus from the game. Considering switching to PC platforms due to friends & co-workers that I play with from my Midnight work crew.
how can i open them to craft them easily because they are closed in crafting station table i only have the assault and rifle alloy .. i did all true sons control points on 3 level but it didn't open the true sons assessment bundle please help
Nothingbutskills I have a question regarding the hunter outfit When I refer my friends to the game do they have to buy the game from PSN store as a (Digital copy) or is it okay if they buy the disc as a (hard copy)!!!!! Please I need an answer
How come your items all say level 40 but mine still say gear score? Like my weapon\gear is like 480 gear score and yours only shows the lvl 40? Whats the difference?
Guys pls help can someone tell me how to get the faction assessment bundle blueprints I’ve been doing lot of missions plus cp4 but i still wouldn’t get it
When did this happen? I’m a returning player and I’m assuming I stopped playing before this update. I burnt out and got tired of farming, but it’s good to know that most of my gear is around 80% maxed out. I can finally push every item to 100%
So i played awhile ago never played warlords but have it. Im gonna rock division again but my question is bakers dozen can i still get it? Or was it a season thing?
When I try to craft those items it has a lock symbol on all of them and it tells me I can obtain the blueprints by doing lvl 3 control points. I’ve done about a million of them and haven’t received a single crafting blueprint…
I been wondering if you run out of steel and open a weapon crafting cache does the polycarbonate, titanium, ect get wasted if you are full (1500) on that resource.
Me too. I dunno why. My crafting bench is at World Tier II (330-350). What is your crafting bench at? I have zero of all the Optimization Resources and each time I desconstruct a High-End material, I am awarded a 0 as well.
@@viprdude aye bro it's been a while since I've been on division but I think u have to deconstruct high end looted weapons or get a blueprint or finish warlords🤔
Yes, your watch level transfers to all your characters but you have to buy the blueprints from Inaya first, she will have them, once you do, yout watch level transfers to all your characters
Each faction has its own optimization materials and they fall with each boss but I am not seeing that. For instance District Unions gives you 3 bosses and Lincoln memorial gives you 4. But you only get the faction assessments from the final boss. Is this correct.
If I do Lincoln memorial it has 4 bosses. I should get true sons materials from each boss. If that is true will the boss materials drop if I do the mission multiple times a day?
This comment is off subject so please excuse me. I haven’t played for a long time and just loaded the game up , but it says warlords isn’t accessible and I have to buy it. Well I already bought it pre-release and played thru all of it. I can’t find any info on this or how to fix it. Anyone have any info on how to fix this? I figure you may know skilz cuz your the first person I think of when it comes to knowing the ins and outs of div2. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
Epic is maybe a bit of a stretch... The game is in a much better place then it was but still a long way to go til it epic. Sounds like your enjoying the base game before you get to Endgame grind
@@whocaresreallywho2464 I’ve been stuck in Horizon Dawn and Odyssey , Control so it’s a change for me tx still getting me head around the base and what to do with weapons early on sell them or dismantle :-/ as I know resources is a slog
I've done some optimizations the last few days, I put some thought into what I wanted to do....somehow went from 512 gear score to 508 lol needless to say I've stopped optimizing for a while
@@whocaresreallywho2464 This. Once you hit level 40 and start upgrading your watch you get scavenger points to spend on materials in addition to other character buffs but the scavenging points for materials makes optimization alot easier once you get to 1000 SHD
I can already tell this whole min/maxing and optimization is gonna be annoying for me. I get it’s part of the game, but this stuff always seems to overwhelm me. I always feel like there’s just too much to keep track of just to get a decent gun, or having to make “builds”
they just do it to encourage you to waste more time playing the game. It's a standard tactic in MMOs, but at least there you have different classes to play and that is enough reason for me. I don't see a point of another Division character when I can do everything on the first one.

just started getting into division again, was a hardcore d1 player and these stations are more confusing, so thank you. great video man
Dude thanks for posting this. I’ve been really thinking about playing again, even creating a new character. 🔥
I've been getting agitated trying to figure out how to increase the optimization percentages, and now I know....and knowing is half the battle 👍

JOOOOOOOOOOE 👍🏽
Tack!
First time seeing this Thank you!!!
Been looking for a video like this! Thanks Skillz!

Helps a lot, first time playing division since the first one and loving it so fat
Why did I not know that you could craft optimisation materials? That would have saved me so much time!
It’s the best way to do it

How do I get those bundles? The smg alloy bundle ect..

Where did you get the ski mask? Out of a container in free roam?
How many alert level 4 control points do I have to clear before I can craft bundles at the crafting station? It's restricting me from crafting them. New player here

Do you recommend me to buy WONY? I think on Xbox is at $6 btw i'm a returning player
So helpful, thanks
was away for a year and nothinbutskillz is still my mvp

Dude how timely. I'm an occasional player... just made level 40 and have to recraft all my gear...ugg. This is exactly what I was looking for. Cheers.
How come your items all say level 40 but mine still say gear score? Like my weapon\gear is like 480 gear score and yours only shows the lvl 40? Whats the difference?
You need Warlords of New York to go from 30-40. If you have it, you need to go to New York to complete leveling.
@@JennaH-l1j I just bought it but It doesnt say Im leveling up? It just keeps giving me field provision cache
How hard is it to get a ravenous if I got a eagle at 300 shd
Well getting an eagle doesn’t have any correlation with your shd level
And I’d say it’s slightly harder cause ih is a little more complex than dh

Does the optimization station work for level 30 pre DLC agents? If so how do we get the NY factions tokens if we don't have the DLC?
Great video. My only issue is that you can only hold 300 printer filament. ‘Tis odd.
Yeah I wish you could hold more
So i played awhile ago never played warlords but have it. Im gonna rock division again but my question is bakers dozen can i still get it? Or was it a season thing?
Yes you can still get it to drop open world or name caches.
Or in targeted loot location for marksman rifles
When I try to craft those items it has a lock symbol on all of them and it tells me I can obtain the blueprints by doing lvl 3 control points. I’ve done about a million of them and haven’t received a single crafting blueprint…
@nothingbutskillz on my crafting table when I hit the Optimization tab everything is locked. How do I unlock it?
I been wondering if you run out of steel and open a weapon crafting cache does the polycarbonate, titanium, ect get wasted if you are full (1500) on that resource.
Yes
Aye bro I get 0 high end alloy when I deconstruct every high end wepon why is this?????????????🤔🤔🤔🤔
Me too. I dunno why. My crafting bench is at World Tier II (330-350). What is your crafting bench at? I have zero of all the Optimization Resources and each time I desconstruct a High-End material, I am awarded a 0 as well.
@@viprdude aye bro it's been a while since I've been on division but I think u have to deconstruct high end looted weapons or get a blueprint or finish warlords🤔
yea but actually getting those blueprints is tough. and ur saying ur watch lvl is the same across characters?
Yes, your watch level transfers to all your characters but you have to buy the blueprints from Inaya first, she will have them, once you do, yout watch level transfers to all your characters
So you can only optimize weapons if you purchase warlords of New York?
I believe you can recalibrate not sure about optimizing
Do optimization improve all categories in the gear or is like calibration that only improves 1?
Only the one you optimize but you can optimize every roll and more than one on a piece
So they updated it to tinkering now it's so confusing. Don't know how to optimize now.
Little question: What skills are you running on that build ?
Each faction has its own optimization materials and they fall with each boss but I am not seeing that. For instance District Unions gives you 3 bosses and Lincoln memorial gives you 4. But you only get the faction assessments from the final boss. Is this correct.
Yes. Only the last boss drops materials.
Do I need to have the dlc in order to use the recalibration ???
There is recalibration tables for gearscore/lvl 30
@@NothingButSkillz OMG You actually answer!!
Thanks !!
my items are too low for optomization
So get better ones
😎👊💢👊😎
Skillz always looking out for others.
Thanks Bro!
If I do Lincoln memorial it has 4 bosses. I should get true sons materials from each boss. If that is true will the boss materials drop if I do the mission multiple times a day?
I optimized the scorpio shotgun and I lost it what did I do wrong?
Im trying to optimize a chest piece with 11.3% crit dmg its only giving me 0.1% increase how do i increase the percentage ?
Do I have to keep my other characters after I’m done with the shd levels? Or I can delete them
How do I look at my watch??
