How do you replace a power with a crafted item?

[Archived Post]

I have crafted a device which supposedly grants a power called Blunderbuss. I have it currently equipped but I can't figure out how to use the new power it grants. I kind of understand that it is called power replace for a reason, but where do i go to replace a power? I've been to the powerhouse and there isn't any new options there. I am lvl 8 and the device is lvl 5.

Also, it says that "this device unlocks a costume accessory and I can't figure where that may be either, let alone search the thousands of items at the Tailor to figure which one it unlocked.

Help, please.

Thanks.

Could you post the full item description? Does it say "Primary Offense?"

IIRC, items that unlock a costume accessory have a special tab in the tailor. It looks a like a treasure chest or something similar to that. I may be completely wrong (don't have access to the game right now), but it couldn't hurt to try.

I think its for Ammunition piece, so u need to have Ammunition powers, like pistols to see it. There should say what kinda it is in recipe, somthing about pistols or smg or shotgun etc. But dont quete me :)

It is probably a replacement for "Shotgun" power from the Munitions power set, which you do not have. If you take "Shotgun", and have that Blunderbuss of your equipped, bring up the powers menu ("P) to see the new power there.

As for the costume piece, there is a new cathegory at the Tailor for your character now. Next to the "Masks" tab, which lets you choose facial expression and stance, there will be a "Warehouse box" tab, that contains all the items you unlocked.

When you mouse over a power replace item, it will till you what powers it is affecting. If you have it equiped, and it says none, then you don't have a power that it effects. Unforunatly, during open beta, you couldn't see if it would work on your powers or not till you bound and equipped it.

Woot! Was able to answer that from memory.

Thanks for the confirmation that some of my brain cells are still living. :p

Thanks for the replies,

That is what I kind of figured even though I hoped not. The device would only work if I was a ammunition type hero. I am Gadgeteer and was hoping it would work for my archetype. It is hard to know what power an Ammunition type would have without being one. I'd be nice if it would say "Only usable by _____" and its not like there is an Auction house to sell it at, so the only point of making one would be to get crafting xp, break it down, or "possibly" trade with someone who could use it.

There is an auction house to sell it at.

Check out the NPC in front of the bank in Renaissance City Plaza of Millenium City.
