Is there still the possibility that the Wax Refiners will get the option to level them beyond lvl 20?

I think level 20 has something to do with the way they're set up, so that the various bonuses are achievable to sane levels (not all maxed out with zero damage & tons of bonus product). At the time of planning, level 20 was set as the maximum without intention to increase it.

What is the use of a Wax Refiner? Which difference between Lvl 0 and Lvl 20?
How to increase it's lvl? Which difference with the Wax Pot?

Sorry for noob question, just interested

Beekeeping is one of the ways to earn gold on the shard. See the wiki. The wax refiner processes raw wax collected from the bees into refined wax you can use to make things like pet leashes. As you use it, it gains levels which allow you to make improvements so it works better.

i know about beekeeping.
I didn't know of Wax Refiner and difference between it and the Wax Pot.
I was also asking info about which difference there's between a Wax Refiner Lvl 0 and a Wax Refiner Lvl 20.
Thanks for help!

I've used only the wax pot. Does it worth change to the refiner system?

BTW, anyone know how to make a macro for beekeeping?

thx

Thanks +C for the reply.

With the Refiner you can upgrade in four different ways. I went with 20% Extra Resource Chance.

As for macros... +C has gone to great effort to prevent it with the bees. Other than harvesting.

Sorry to necro this, but I feel like this is not a great solution. The obvious choice is the extra product. If you wanted it faster, then you do it yourself. Adding durability or making it not take as much durability damage saves you 5k for a repair kit every 2 weeks, OR you can get 20% more gold.

I am not advocating to be able to get 100% chance at extra product. My initial thought was "What if each skill could be leveled to level 20?" but that really puts yu back where we are now, where the machine is maxed out and it simply last a little longer. So what if after level 20, abilities had diminishing returns? That way the longer you bee-keep the stronger your refiner is but, never quite to unreal-crazy levels.

Requires Exp goes up 5-10% each level, after level 20 a skill gains .1 per level. After level 100 it gains .05 per level etc. So you aren't stifling the players with a low hard cap etc. That really shouldn't be all that hard to program so it's not a system that would require a timesink and lots of regression or smoke testing.
