Hey Ladies and Gents,
I have an odd conundrum... I have a level 39 Sorcerer and have been working on my artifice skill pretty regularly. I have an artifice skill of 293 now and I'm trying to help out some friends by making them parts.
Pretty much every schematic vendor I've met, I've bought all the schematics except the "Wieldable" category, where I've only purchased the Endurance/Wisdom based items.
As I am browsing through my list of mods, I'm seeing huge gaps of missing item schematics. For example, in the Hilts section from level 9 to level 31 hilts, I've only got Might and Resolve? At first I thought that was it, but when I look at level 33 to 37 hilts, I've got Resolve, Might, Guardian, and Force Wielder and now that I think about it, I thought there were many more types???
Then, when I look at the Enhancements, I'm actually missing certain GRADE enhancement mods, even though I've bought them all on every planet they were available...? My list for Enhancements goes like this (if ordered by level) and I'm only mentioning the Green ones, not blue or purple.
Fortitude 3
Fortitude 5
Power Enhancement 7
Critical Enhancement 7
Power Enhancement 9
Critical Enhancement 9
Rigor Enhancement 11
Rage Enhancement 11
Power Enhancement 11
Fervor Enhancement 11
Defense Enhancement 11 (this one is 14 Endurance and 8 Defense)
Defense Enhancement 11 (yes... it is listed 2x and this one is 9 Endurance and 13 Defense)
Critical Enhancement 13
Absorb Enhancement 13
Rigor Enhancement 13
Rage Enhancement 13
Power Enhancement 13
Fervor Enhancement 13
Defense Enhancement 13 (this one is 17 Endurance and 10 Defense)
Defense Enhancement 13 (yes... it is listed 2x and this one is 11 Endurance and 16 Defense)
Critical Enhancement 13
Absorb Enhancement 13
Quick Savant Enhancement 15
Protection Enhancement 15
Insight Enhancement 15
Initiative Enhancement 15
Immunity Enhancement 15
Battle Enhancement 15
Adept Enhancement 15
Acute Enhancement 15
So, not only am I missing grade 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14, but I also seem to be missing the various types of each grade.
On a side note, I find the two defense enhancement's confusing, but the naming and organisational structure of the mod naming conventions a total mind-screw... actually... let me rephrase that. The entire Artifice mod grade/level/rating structure is hosed and makes ZERO sense. First off, if there is a Rage Enhancement 8 Prototype (blue) mod, then why isn't there a green one? Why aren't there are Grade 8 enhancement mods? It is totally and entirely confusing and only serves to add unnecessary complexity in my opinion....
Can someone help clear up how I'm supposed to get the missing schematics or help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? I've gone back to every schematic vendor I know, and all they now show (even if selecting the filter to SHOW ALL) are the left-over Wieldables I never purchased... I went back to Nar Shaddaa's mod vendors and found that the regular mod vendor doesn't offer any 8's. The commendation mod vendor offers 8's but only a mixed variety of them. Like, there's no Prototype Critical Enhancement 8, there's a 7 though... There's a Guardian Mod 8, but no 7? There's a Might Hilt 8, but no Resolve Hilt equivalent.
Now, I also went to Tattooine to see if the mods vendors there had stuff for me. Well, the regular mods vendor had a green Force Wielder 8 Hilt that I didn't have in my artifice schematics. So, I bought a bunch, RE'd some unsuccessfully, only to see that it said "No Research Available" in the tool-tip.
I mean really???? There just seems to be no rhyme or reason for the missing items or the ones that can't even be researched even if there's a green version available?!?!?
Help!!!!
