Prestige: is it worth it?
So, from what I understand, when you prestige, you are starting out your character from scratch, with the exceptions that you get a bloody piece of your cosmetics, and... improved bloodweb results?
I'm trying to determine if its really worth it. I don't care about the cosmetics. Some from the store I like more. What I care about is, if, in the long run, it's going to be giving me better blood web results? Its frustrating when a character I have is level 49 and I'm getting mostly crap on the blood web.
Also, how does it effect teachables? Do I have to relearn the teachables from the main character to make it re-available to everyone else?
Anyway, other questions aside, and ignoring cosmetics, is prestige characters worth it in the long run?

Its only worth it if the character you’re trying to prestige is one of your favorites.1

In general? No it is not worth it but that does not stop me from doing it regardless. I dont care about the cosmetics or the increased rarity. However i still aim to p3-50 everyone because its something to do atleast. I have a goal set to where i want to p3-50 every character with all perks in the game. Its a daunting task but its something to grind for and keep me busy and gives me a sense of progression. If you are not gung-ho about maxing everyone out then just p3 the characters you play the most and leave it at that.

No. It's not worth it.
You are only wasting time and bloodpoints at something that has no value.
I think every time you prestige you gain a 1% more chance of gaining higher addons and offerings, 3% in total. I don't know if it's 1% though.

I just do it cause it gives me something to aim for until I have all character p3-50 (and all perks at least for all the killers).

No, it's only for bragging purposes. The only character i prestiged was Feng because she's my main/bae. The other survivors/killers are just level 50.0

It's a gamble.
Chew through endless lvl 50 webs to get perks.
Lose it all to get a chance at better perks faster.0 -

Prestige does not remove that. The difference is that at those levels, you will just get the usual normal bloodwebs.

For me it's worth it. But it's recommended to save 1.000.000 BP to level the character to lvl ~35 when prestiging and also while you are saving the BP you spend your remaining offerings/addons/items.

It's worth it for the ones you main

Perks are not affected by prestige.

I prestiged a couple characters and then stopped. Absolute waste of time and bp. My wife P3'ed her Feng and I chose not to. I have better perks, better items, and lots more addons. Same goes for killers. I spent 4 million on both Trapper and Pig. I prestiged pig and skipped trapper. Trapper is much better shape with lots more addons and 75% of all the perks at T3. Pig is nowhere near it. The selection on the web is so minute, I can't tell the difference.

It's only worth if you want the cosmetics. The chance of getting rare items is about 1%

They kinda are, though. Lower levels mean chewing through webs faster meaning rng can help or hinder the loadout you have by the time you hit 50 again.BigBubs said:@Rebel_Raven said:

Not really, unless you really want the prestige cosmetic^^

DO IT!!!
Got ALL PERKS at P3 on Myers and Legion. Everyone else is at P3 and just working through to get optimal Perks at L3 for them all. It just gives you the sense of completion.... although it may be that i'm slightly obsessive compulsive...0 -
Not really.. unless you're playing Claudette.
Do it if you like the character.0 -
I would say not really except for feeling good about having your favorite character(s) "maxed out". I did P3 my favorites, but just for the sake of it, not because of any prestige benefits.
In particular, when it comes to better blood webs: from what I can see from files someone datamined and my personal observations (so I hope what I now write here is correct), every blood web has not only chances for certain rarities appearing (these should be affected by prestige) but also a minimum and maximum number of nodes of a certain rarity that can spawn. Level 50 blood webs should have either 5 or 6 "rare" nodes, and 0 or 1 "ultra rare" node (for "very rare" it's 1-3). All the prestige modifiers will probably do is give you a slightly higher chance that e.g. the 6th rare node, or the single ultra rare spawns, so no matter whether not prestiged at all or P3, each of your lvl 50 blood webs will differ at most by one rare, two very rare, and one ultra rare.
Then also consider, leveling to 50 is commonly estimated with 1.5 million bloodpoints. So from level 50 to P3-50 you spend 4.5 million bloodpoints. Along the road you buy many "smaller" blood webs where no higher rarity stuff can appear. If you pour it all into your unprestiged character, you can go about 90 level 50 blood webs (estimating a lvl 50 blood web with 50000 points) collecting all the goodies along the way. Unless you've unlocked many teachables, you might have all (or close to all) perks on your character by level 140. Once you've got all the perks, there's more "room" for very rare items/add-ons/offerings to appear because these nodes can't be taken up by "very rare" perks (of which there are quite a few) any longer.
As I said, I do prestige my favorites, but I don't think it's really worth it.

hm, sounds like the concensus is a resounding no.

Only if you like blood. Otherwise its pointless

Maybe pick out your very favorite character and do it?
Other than that... it's worth doing Quinten, Laurie, Tapp. They have no other real alternatives. They have a couple different, but blood is appealing on them as they are licensed.
So outside of these survivors... no it isn't worth it. Unless you got a bad shake of perks or something.

By the time you wait for another event to come up, you could’ve already prestiged a couple of characters. The perks are becoming more and more and as time goes on it will be harder to get certain perks down the line.PigNRun said:@Speshul_Kitten said:
