With the introduction of the Way of Winter inOnce Human, a few new mechanics, like temperature management and blueprint conversion, have been added.
While temperature management is often discussed among the community, some are still a little confused about the blueprint conversion system, which can help players achieve gigantic damage counts.

That said, let’s review the brand-new mechanic that can help you maximize the enhancement of your gear.

What is The Blueprint Conversion System?
With the new Blueprint system, youcan upgrade your weaponor armor blueprints to the maximum level, which looks very promising for players who want to min-max their gear.
With this system, you’re able to get a desiredweapon or gear to the maximum enhancement levelwithout any extra cost. Basically, the number of stars you see on your blueprints are the enhancement levels that can be unlocked by feeding blueprint fragments into the blueprints.

The higher the number of stars, the higher the HP and PSI intensity you get from the gear pieces. The same applies to weapons, where their base damage receives a boost.
That said, you need one weapon or piece of gear with the highest enhancement rating possible to get the most out of the mechanic.

Do keep in mind that the conversion system is onlypossible between weapons or gears of the same rarity.

How Blueprint Conversion Works in Once Human
Before you start shifting stars to other blueprints, you have to have a clearidea of the buildyouwant to choose. Since the conversions are limited, you’re able to’t max out everything in one go.
Having ahigh rating on blueprints is better for elemental damage buildssince theyscale off your PSI intensity,and you can compromise on that for Physical damage builds sincetheir core gear effectsmatter the most.

I recommend feeding the blueprint fragments to one blueprint of the same class and leveling it up as much as you may.
If that’s impossible for you, another workaround to get the maximum enhancement on one gear is to shift the stars from the highest-rated gear piece or weapon to the one you can upgrade to an extralevel with blueprint fragments.

Before starting the process, you must remember a few things about the Blueprint conversion system.

How To Enhance Blueprints
Once you’ve shifted the stars from the weapon or armor, you may go to the gear bench to craft the respective gear pieces. I recommend having agear bench with a durability bufffor increased durability on your gear pieces or weapons.
After you’ve swapped the enhancement levels, you have to remake blueprints whenever you enhance them since the gear or weapon in your inventory isn’t affected by the enhancements.
You can alsouse food and drinksto further enhance your damage in specific builds, which synergize with enhanced gear and weapons.
