Hmm, ok, thanks, that helps. The hierarchy is green, blue, purple, orange correct? Also, for things like earpieces, I have two I got from questing, but I'm using them on my characters. Should I risk RE'ing one to get a pattern or probably just look onto the GTN for a pattern instead? How else do you get the actual patterns? Raids? Aren't raids for end game? Thanks again, Tellerve

So I've been wondering if you are supposed to keep making and reverse engineering things you make when you have a better version of said item already. So, I have a blue armor 3, do I still make green armor 3s, or am I done with ever making green armor 3? I also have a purple mod 2 or something...do I make that and go for the reverse engineering on that? I've read some guides but either not enough of them as I'm still a tad confused. Generally still intrigued and interested though. cheers, Tellerve
