Bump to get more views in an attempt to solve the mystery.

Thank you both for the replies, however, you are both referring to items, such as weapons, armor, and accessories. I am referring to item mods, things like armoring, hilts, barrels, enhancements, etc. They are different animals when it comes to critically crafting, much like biochem adrenals and medpacks. In fact, so far, I'm not sure WHAT happens when you critically craft an item mod, or if it's even possible. It's part of what I'm trying to discern.

I've looked all over, and while I can find confirmation of their existence, I can't find any information about how item modifications with the Mastercraft prefix are obtained. So, my question is, does anyone know? Are they critically crafted, bought from a vendor I haven't seen yet, or are they just found? I'm REALLY hoping they can be critically crafted, as it would lend some much needed oomph to the professions that make them. For anyone not sure what I mean, here's a couple links to item mods that, as far as I can tell, are definitely in the game: Mastercraft Force Wielder Armoring 22 Mastercraft Reflex Barrel 22 Notice that each have better stats their regular Advanced counterparts easily discovered through RE. Please, no conjecture - I've done plenty of it for myself. If anyone has any solid data on where they come from, I'd be very appreciative.
