Is it me, or does this crew skill seem a little out of whack? I am attempting to gather materials at the moment. I am looking to get grade 5 and 6 underworld metals, grade 6 artifact fragments and power crystals, and grade 5 scavenged metals and compounds. I load up my archaeologist, and I see 5 grade 6 missions. The low timer is 31:12, and the high time is 36:00. The low price is 1415, and the high price is 1485. I then load up my underworld trader and see low timer for grade 6 items is 1:02:24, and the high time is 1:02:24 (grade 5 companion gifts excluded) . The low price is 1700 and the high price is 1700. If I throw in the price of the grade 5 companion gifts the time is 31:12 for 2125 credits. Scavenging seems to line up with Archaeology as far as price and time, but not UT.
Why is this?
I do not have a level 400 slicer, investigator, diplomat, or bio-analyzer yet, so I cannot compare those. Are those as pricey as UT at 400?
