Sorry, but I have to vent.
There's alot I love about this game. But crafting? Not at all. (Alright, sending out my companions for stuff is pretty awesome, but still.)
I have Biochem, and have been trying to RE these implants to learn the schematics to learn the recipe for it. So far I'm out 3 implants with nothing to show for it. I'm sure alot of you will say to stop RE'ing until I get my first two, but unfortunately I have this thing where I need to get the most out of my gear, so I'm going to be crafting them until I can crit two. Crafting until I crit I'm fine with, but the 20% chance to learn the schematic is damn frustrating.
Second part that annoys me, is the lack of learnable orange boots and gloves. The only way to get augmentable boots and gloves is to either PvP up to valor rank 60, or raid, hope I have a Synthweaver in the group that can RE a piece that nobody else needs (won't happen for awhile since drops aren't limited to class anymore) and pray that they somehow learn it, then wait until they crit craft it. So, damn, frustrating.
