I'm also having difficulty gaining new schematics from reverse engineering. I'm at 400 skill and have made and RE'd at least 50 of a specific blue item in the last 2 days with no new purple schematics. I have also been trying to get some lower level greens to become blues but no luck there either. Something doesn't seem right, so I'm holding off any RE attempts for a while. Going through two stacks of tier 6 underworld metals with no benefit was a bit costly.
