I tried to get a Freedom Staff/Ham by crafting a Sniper melee since it's the best chance
Crafting server was down at the time but last night the request went through and I got a Shiv
Well I'm mostly trying to get the class specific reskins ( Apoco-fists , Maul , etc.) but I will keep any other generic melee reskins if I manage craft them. Yesterday I actually crafted a Three rune blade on my second try.
Also crafting a class and slot specific weapon costs around 4 scrap to do so you can still get a profit after trying it several times if you manage to craft a more valuable reskin.
