📅 Updated Loot Pool: Enhanced Weapon Crafting

As of Update 9.7.0, all Raid weapons now support enhanced weapon crafting:

All legendary crafted weapons (existing and new) have access to Gear Tier Upgrading. When you reach Weapon Level 11, you can upgrade to Gear Tier 2 to gain access to Enhanced Left and Right Column traits. At Weapon Level 25, you can upgrade to Gear Tier 4 and add Enhanced Components. At Level 30 you’ll upgrade to Gear Tier 5 and add Enhanced Origin Traits.

On top of introducing enhanced weapon crafting, raid weapons now feature two new traits per column. Raid Adept weapons also received an update:

Raid Adepts gain access to the Tier Upgrade Mod like crafted weapons and can visit the Relic to upgrade to Enhanced components and Enhanced Origins. These weapons will also still retain a bit of an extra stat boost on top of their non-Adept counterparts and their unique Adept shader to add a bit of prestige for those who’ve gone through the challenge of acquiring them.
