  1. Umm, just run lockbox missions if you want discovered missions. I have 3 slicers and I send all 5 of their maxed affection companions out at least 3-4 times a day. The lockbox missions I have them run are grade 9 rich/bountiful, grade 6 abundant and the 2 rich grade 5's. I get several discovered missions (340 and 450) per day and sometimes have absurdly lucky (or unlucky) streaks such as last weekend when I got 6 underworld trading 450 missions in a roll. I swear my RNG simply went bonkers that day.

     

    Did you actually read my post? That's all i've been doing is running lockbox missions.

  2. If it is any consolation, in my experience, discovered missions are weighted, with Investigation, Diplomacy, and Treasure Hunting, being more common, Slicing being the rarest of the bunch, and the rest falling the middle.

     

    That being said, you have three characters able to run a total of three grade 9 lockbox missions each (the abundant, bountiful, and rich lockbox missions can all generate discovered missions). That means in any one pass you can run 9 missions. Next question is how often do you log in to run more missions? Those people you mention probably have 10 characters running all three of those missions all the time, so they are running THIRTY missions every 45 minutes or so. Sheer volume of missions run gets them the number of discovered missions.

     

    Since I started playing again, I run about 40 or so lockbox missions a day. Just guessing because I don't really keep track but the whole time I'm logged in (about 2 to 3 hours) 3 characters are running with 5 companions each. I understand that they are weighted and I understand why but I should be getting more of the missions I actually need (TH, Slicing, UT). I don't even mind buying them on the GTN but for what people sell them for on the GTN I can't even make a profit.

  3. I just did a search on this and unfortunately my old thread is the only one I can find on this problem. I guess I am the only one in SWTOR that has this problem. I now have 3 chars that I spam lockboxes constantly and still only get the worthless missions of Diplomacy, Investigation, and one other I can't think of. I go to the GTN and people (the same person) are selling 10-15 Slicing/UT/TH missions at a time. Is the game programed to see what crew skills you have and give you the opposite of what you need? So everything is handled through the GTN? This problem is very, very frustrating. I have literally never a 450 slicing mission from thousands and thousands of lockboxes. Then I go to the GTN and one person has 10-15 for sale at 100k. Makes me want to @#$%^& scream.
  4. From any lockbox mission when it crits? If 340 missions guaranteed a 340 discovery, they'd be a tad OP. As is the purple mats they give are pretty darn nice.

     

    Your right, if I understand correctly, 340 mission discovery drops shouldn't be guaranteed from a 340 mission discovery mission. But, I have ran at last count 31 of the 340 purple missions and I've gotten 2 mission discovery drops. One was a slicing mission (cool) and the other was a Dark side, I think diplomacy, drop. Thats with my comp being at 10k affection.

    Apparently the only comp that I'm going to have with +anything slicing crit is my r2d2 droid that is on my artifice. It would be nice to determine your own comps based on the crating prof you choose. The only one of my character where the comps somewhat match up is my smuggler that has cybertech, scavenging and underworld trading.

  5. First of all, you cannot get missions from tech parts. Secondly, there are no 10 crit companions in the game. And lastly, the legacy perk only affects crafting.

     

    I am not getting them from the purple 340 slicing missions...which are supposed to drop mission discovery missions. Also, Theran Cedrax is +10 Slicing Crit. And, I read in the forums that the legacy perk is also for missions (even though it's not not worded that way). That may not be true.

  6. Can someone please explain to me why 80% or so of my comp gifts I get are Imp Memorabila or Underworld Goods? Out of 16 comps, 1 likes Imp Mem (and he's maxed) and NOT ONE like underworld goods. Very frustrating. Funny thing is Imp Mem rarely dropped until my guy got maxed out. I was even buying them on the GTN cause they weren't dropping.
  7. I am having a problem and it's frustrating the hell out of me. I am in a string of about 10 - 15 runs and have got one 340 purple mission discovery from a purple 340 slicing mission. I keep getting basic stuff back 4 blue slicing mats, 4 purple slicing mats and 1 lockbox with about 2k. I am making money due to the inflated price of might augments but very little when I am buying the missions for 65k and up. I am 400 slicing, 6k comp affection, +10 slicing crit comp, and even bought the legacy crafting crap.
  8. You get purples from critical results. Max out your companion affection, get the legacy perk, and you'll have plenty of purples.

     

    Legacy Perk for crafting? The only thing i see is the 1% increase in the chance to augment.

  9. Has anyone noticed there are no Rich or Bountiful grade 6 crew missions? I have lvl 400 in Archeology, Underworld Trading, Scavenging, Treasure Hunting and Slicing and I am not getting Rich or Bountiful missions on any of them (except comp gifts). Has this always been and I just never noticed? My crafting skills are just catching up to my missions so I haven't needed that many high level grade 6 missions so I may have not noticed this all along. It seems we are being forced to do the Mission Discoveries to get the purple crafting supplies at grade 6.
