I agree w/ Okugi and we are essentially saying the same thing just fussing over semantics, templates vs losing stats etc. The main thing I was trying to clarify was what each prefix/template meant at the blue level and that once you've RE'd a green to a blue, you've moved down a restricted RE path to the resulting purple template/tier/prefix. This is why I have been comparing blue to green and purple to blue in a step wise manner (as opposed to purple to green) but in terms of final stats, Okugi and my numbers are the same. The point is you can't RE a shielded or veracity purple from an expert or fervor blue. In terms of what all the blue and purple prefixes/templates represent stat wise, that seems to have been pretty well spelled out in our posts.

I've checked my RE'ing results again for both MK-1 & MK-2 earpieces and MK-2 implants and my results have been consistent. Using the Frasium Closed Circuit Energy Chip as the base Green: Strength 172, Endurance 177, Critical 84, Surge 79 RE to Blue improves the primary stat strength to 199 and endurance to 205 (Pri +27, End +28) The three blue derivatives are Expert, Fervor and Veracity which give Expert (Power +14, Surge +12) Fervor (Accuracy +12, Critical +14) Veracity (Defense +14, Shield +12) RE of the Blue to Purple improves the primary stat strength to 222 and endurance to 231 (Pri +23, End +26 relative to the Blue) Expert gives three purple derivative which are Expert, Hawkeye and Vehemence These changes in the prefix give Expert (Power +13, Surge +11) Hawkeye (Accuracy +23, Power +13 but you lose the Surge stat (-12)) Vehemence (Alacrity +23, Power +13 but you lose the Surge stat (-12)) Fervor gives three purple derivative which are Endowment, Fervor and Supremacy These changes in the prefix give Endowment (Critical +13, Surge +23 but you lose the Accuracy stat (-12)) Fervor (Accuracy +11, Critical +13) Supremacy (Alacrity +23, Critical +13 but you lose the Accuracy stat (-12)) Veracity gives two purple derivative which are Shielded and Veracity These changes in the prefix give Shielded (Absoprtion +27, Shield +11 but you lose the Defense stat (-14)) Veraticty (Defense +13, Shield +11) The clean version is: Green RE's to the following Blues Expert (adds Power, Surge) Fervor (adds Accuracy, Critical) Veracity (adds Defense, Shield) Blue Expert RE's to the following Purples Expert (adds Power, Surge) Hawkeye (adds Accuracy, Power, loses Surge) Vehemence (adds Alacrity, Power, loses Surge) Blue Fervor RE's to the following Purples Endowment (adds Critical, Surge, loses Accuracy) Fervor (adds Accuracy, Critical) Supremacy (adds Alacrity, Critical loses Accuracy) Blue Veracity RE's to the following Purples Shielded (adds Absoprtion, Shield loses Defense) Veraticty (adds Defense, Shield) Again, I have yet to find evidence of a third derivative for the Blue Veracity.

This has been my experience from RE'ing MK-2 earpieces: Base green > Blue (Primary +27, Endurance +28) Expert (Power +14, Surge +12) > Purple (Primary +23, Endurance +26) Expert (Power +13, Surge +11), Hawkeye (Accuracy +23, Power +13, Surge -12) , Vehemence (Alacrity +23, Power +13, Surge -12) Base green > Blue (Primary +27, Endurance +28) Fervor (Accuracy +12, Critical +14) > Purple (Primary +23, Endurance +26) Endowment (Accuracy -12, Critical +13, Surge +23), Fervor (Accuracy +11, Critical +13), Supremacy (Accuracy -12, Critical +13, Alacrity +23) Base green > Blue (Primary +27, Endurance +28) Veracity (Defense +14, Shield +12) > Purple (Primary +23, Endurance +26) Shielded (Absorption +27, Defense -14, Shield +11), Veracity (Defense +13, Shield +11) I haven't come across an Exactitude purple derivative from a blue Veracity and the tooltip says no more schematics can be learned once the blue Veracity makes the Purple Shielded and Veracity so far.

I don't know if anyone else has posted this but a minor "bug" with the new perspective is that customized dye selections for different armor parts aren't being shown. It seems like what's appearing is the unified colors version of the character's armor. I know, very minor point for something that may or may be removed anyway but regardless, I am also in favor of the "bugged" view.

For those having a hard time at Gamestop, ask them to search for "cartel" in the description and the coins should come up. Tell them not to search with DLC as the category because the Gamestop I went to had them filed under the PS3 category.
