Sorry this is a TERRIBLE idea. Do you even understand how many hundreds of pages crafters would have to sift through? And that's why you use reputable crafters. Giving someone mats to craft an item isn't new to MMO's....

How is this a problem? People will wait 40 minutes for a top tier item. Even if they didn't I still don't see a problem. It requires you to be a trader also. You should know what is desired. Also right now you have to craft things to see their true stats. What it shows the stats as in the crafting window normally aren't the actual stats it's crafted at. A bug BW needs to get on top of.

When I try to link people stuff half the stats are missing. it usually links an item with just the base stats. It's really annoying trying to sell stuff to people. It's only on crafted stuff btw.

Yeah I just logged in and had 7 more made....got it on the 6th RE. The randomness really bothers me though.

Yeah it gets better. I am 400 and can make some nice stuff. Sadly it seems like the only thing worthwhile are barrels for orange guns though =/

The mod is what makes the armor sadly =/

Ughh hahahah. Well then..../crawls back under the rock But seriously then I guess. it would be nice to have a point of sending your companions out on that mission.

You probably didn't follow the steps correctly...My brother pre-ordered the game a couple of days ago, registered etc, and that night he got an invite to early access...

So I hit 400 armstech...at lower levels I actually used Scavenging...and maybe it might change at the level cap...I doubt it though. All of my resources I got from mining nodes. The HUGE abundance of them. I also have to keep my guys running investigation missions if I want to craft anything useful. You get SOOOO much more resources from a node. 30 minutes scavenging to bring me back 6 of one resources and 3 of another? Or spend 30 minutes mining myself and come back with 20-30 of each resource? Hmmm..... I guess I need to drop scavenging now and pick up Biochem so I can have all the amazing stims/medpacks etc. /sigh

They are available at higher crafting levels. I think it starts with Rank 15 of barrels, or around there.

It really seems like BW missed the mark a lot on the MMO part of this game. It is a great game so far, and yeah I am ahead of the curve on leveling so I rarely see many more than the 5 people I have seen the last 5 days. I'm not going to list everything. But as an avid MMO'er, I am curious of what others think. it is just A LOT of really small things that just don't work for MMO's. And really no server forums? Really? Or maybe we will get them after midnight tonight?

Uhh the Imperial Fleet is the only one I know of. It is in an entryway to one of the wings. I think the vendor is called "Pre-Order Items"

This....but you also have to go train in the skills at the Imp Fleet or wherever.

If you are talking about the ones that go into Critical success weapons and armor, yes only from Slicing.

You can buy as many new crystals as you want for 10 credits each.....

Oops I guess my question is, on 45+items is the RE % chance significantly lower? Also forgot to mention from Green-Blue I RE'ed 2 weapons for that Needler...

So I hit 400 armstech and started rolling out things to RE. I am about to ding 45....and there was the Critical (something) Needler that I had a blue of. I set all of my companions on rolling those out because I wanted the purple version of it. Needless to say hours later and 64 RE's later I still have not gotten a purple schematic for it. Prior to pre-release I didn't keep up with much on crafting...Post pre-release most information was gone because Bioware thought the need to wipe the forums? Btw Oct 08 register been waiting for this game forever yadayadayada got my beta invite a week before pre-release. Anyway. I RE'ed a lot of stuff to purple recipes while leveling up. I felt I was pretty lucky in getting a few purple recipes on 1-2 RE's. But this is crazy...64 Needlers RE'ed and no recipe. I was pretty excited about only having X recipes on a server....because I am a crafter, and I REALLY get into it and focus on it. But if this is just all luck based...then I could be the most dedicated crafter...and Joe Blow over there RE's something 1 random time and gets a 1 per server recipe and quits a week later....

It took me far less time to get 400 Armstech than it did Master Weaponsmith in SWG. Or actually any maxed out crafting class in any game I have played....

Using investigation missions I have looted several level 50 recipes. I am going to assume these are going to be dropped only recipes.

It was much easier to get 400 armstech than I thought it would have been.
