Hi Arch,
I can confirm that this is true. I have a high number of critical missions as a BH with Gault who is at 8k Affection while Skadge who is at -1000 I bascially never critical.
Also to add to the general knowlege of the thread.
Im currently working my way through my own fully crafted set at level 50 (Head, Belt, Bracers, Boots, Chest, Pants).
Using the level 49 patterns I craft the greens until i get Rebout blues (Critical seems more comon) and then craft the Rebout blues until i get the Purple love which is ilvl 129 or something around this level.
RE'in a purple crafted I recieved the same materials that RE'in a Green provided and likewise with blues HOWEVER, there is a chance to recieve the rare material you used in the creation process.
I have 2 questions at this time: Patterns that are learnt outside of the trainer. Can they be improved to a secondary tier? For example I have a pair of nice Blue pants that come from a level 50 recipe. Can I re' these into an Epic version? My current feeling is no, I can't and that it is only possible with trainer learnt recipes. It would be great to get some information about this as I gave up on trying after the 12th RE'in attempt.
Second question: Can we RE epic items into Legendary?
My initial thought is no however, looking at the trainer taught epics i find them SERIOUSLLY lacking in stats. Aim+Endurance+Defense. Pathetic. The Green level gloves I developed into epic level have low aim and endurance but have presence (fml), defense, absorption, alacrity and i think one other stat.
In closing, Armortech seems to provide less spiked stats and a much across the board stat increase.
Thanks Wolf for putting this together.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me *Uurdz @ The Swiftsure.
It is unlikely that I will keep up to date with this thread.
