when i hit 24 i was near broke on my character... too many diplomacy missions hehe. anyway, i stopped sending my companions on missions during this level, i was on nar shaddaa around this time and by the time i hit 25 i had more than enough money to buy my speeder training i have biochem, bioanalyis and diplomacy, no slicing whatsoever, some will say you will be getting more money from slicing, but you will not be able to craft better items since you will need the mission crew skill for the better items, so while you may have more money initially, that money will instead be spent on the items you could get from missions

you can do flashpoints as many times as you want, i was on my main going through black talon trying to get green gear for my alts (blue and orange are bound on pickup)

Hit N, the default for the crew skills panel, then click on the icon for what you want your companion to do, if its a craft skill, then you will be able to choose what you want to craft. if its a gathering or mission skill, you will be able to choose what type you will want to send them on also for future reference, you can star sending them out on missions as soon as you get your companion, on my 2nd character i rushed through the class quests without doing any side quests and had my companion at level 6, then went through the side missions, was a lot easier this way

did you finish act 1 yet... its not level dependent its when you finish act 1, follow your class story

you may be bugged, a lot of people seem to have problems with their RE button disappearing

correct, the higher level reuseables need more and more biochem skills for them to be useable by others

right away, in your inventory there should be an icon in the top right corner, click it and then right click your crafted items to reverse engineer them, you will have a small chance to unlock the schematic for the next level of it, and you will get back some resources from the items as well

you can get blue and purple recipes by deconning the green items you create

dont know what you are doing but ill try laying out how to do from the start Click N to pull up crew skills, click the biochem icon, click on the item you want to create (making sure you have parts for that) it will say to the left of the items how many of each you can create wallah crafting

im a biochem/bioanalysis/diplomacy bh and i dont send my companions on any missions except for diplomacy stuff, the other stuff is just to easy to gather myself it only gets expensive if you send them on gathering missions, stop doing that you can gather yourself

how on earth do you get this for biochem, im trying to make a reuseable specialized medpac and i cant figure out how to get it, i have sent my companions on numerous grade 2 medical supply missions and they never bring them back

I am biochem/bioanalysis/diplomacy and i sent my companion on a diplomacy mission and he failed it so i got a "Mission failure, received +1.255157851 Dark Side Points". what the heck?!? so now it shows i have 2584.25515781 Dark side points. is there any way if i send in a ticket for them to give me the remaining DS points to give me a whole number instead of having X.25515781 dark side points
