I'm not receiving the point for levelling up my watch. Every time I level up my watch across the top of the screen I get the message telling me I have increased in watch level, and recieved 1 SHD point and 1 field cache, but when I go to check the resources tab the point total hasn't changed.
I'm at watch level 300 and have done about 220 of those over the last 3 weeks. In total I have had about 50 points but they were all earned via doing the daily and weekly projects. I dont have the Blueprint to create my own either so im stuck at earning 12 a week and 1 point for every 5 watch levels. Which means it would take a couple of months to optimise 1 build which obviously isn't right.
I think you are confusing the SHD points which are being used for leveling up your SHD watch with the SHD Calibration materials which are a resource being used for optimizing gear at the Optimization Station.
When your character receives a level up, you are being rewarded with one additional SHD point, which automatically also increases your watch's level. So if you are at watch level (or SHD level, as it is also referred to) 300 and gain a level up – your new SHD level will be 301. And within your inventory you will have one more SHD point to use: so when entering your inventory you will find your SHD watch in the bottom right corner of your screen. After entering this menu you can then distribute and spend your SHD points here. If you haven't spent any of your SHD points yet you should be able to spend 301 SHD points for improving your character in one of the four shown categories. Or for scavenging materials or money. If you now were to spend all your 301 points and level up later again, you could again spend that freshly earned one point in the very same way.
Speaking of the "scavenging" category of your SHD watch: you can also use 1 SHD point for scavenging 1 SHD Calibration. Or 2 Field Recon Data.
Are you sure you aren't supposed to recieve them? When the level up happens it tells you that you have recieved 1 watch level, 1 shd point and 1 field cache. So it seems like there should be 3 things. My friends claim they're getting them and at the time of the recent update there was a quote saying that you should now be able to optimise every 1 to 2 hours, which wouldn't be possible at this rate as I'm only getting 12 a week from the Projects and 1 for every 5 watch levels.
But that you may well be right, it gets pretty confusing when everything is named SHD. Haha. Thank you for replying
No problem... if you really want to earn more SHD Calibration you should use every scavenging point of your SHD watch for the SHD Calibration mats.
Personally I like to play any mission or activity with any Gear Set as targeted loot. OW is very efficient! Even farming the Summit at hard difficulty with 3 to 5 directives activated is a fast, fun and efficient way to see some Gear Set pieces drop. Especially as you will not be using but directly dismantling them. Each one will grant you 4 titan, 4 electronics and 4 carbon (plus some more materials needed for Optimization or crafting). And if you should already own the blueprint for crafting SHD calibration you can then simply craft 5 SHD Calibrations for 500 titan, carbon and electronics each.
That's the thing, I don't have the SHD Blueprint. Just doesn't want to drop for me. I have no trouble getting any other materials and the gear I have requires very little optimising so it's all the more frustrating that it's all being held up by this.
You should definitely be able to buy all the optimising Blueprints at all times from the crafting vendor. Hopefully I'll get lucky soon!
