How do you get blueprints right now?
TL;DRBlueprints currently come from missions, with planned sources including reputation milestones, one-time-use physical datapads that can be sold or gifted, and NPC shops for common items.
At the moment, it's just missions. The plan is reputation, so when you reach a reputation milestone, you can get a blueprint. Datapads is a big one, so there will be a datapad that has a blueprint on it, and then you can download it, and that's a one-time download. Or you could sell it to someone else, gift it if you want to.
So just to add on that, it's a physical datapad that you can find. So it's something that we can place in inventories, that we can place in armor pieces from NPCs. So something that you can physically pick up.
Treasure hunters. A whole new treasure hunter profession of people who go out there and do contested zones and collect blueprints to sell to other people.
Yeah. But as Dec already stated, important note there is they are one-time use. So once they are consumed, the blueprint is then imprinted to whoever used the datapad. So if you already got the blueprint on the datapad, make sure that you make some money out of it, I would say.
There's also NPC shops, so more common stuff that we're not too bothered about there being an adventure to go and find, like a decoration. You could buy that blueprint in an NPC shop.
