Yellowhead Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Sorry if this question has been asked before and for being a n00b but as the title suggests, will I lose my lvls gain in a certain crew skill should I choose to unlearn it to learn another skill? Basically I have 400 in Slicing but wish to take up Biochem/Analysis/Diplomacy, I don't really want to lose my lvl in Slicing if I wanted to switch back to it at a later date... Anyone know?

Apollo-Rayne Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Unfortunately, yes you do. I also had Splicing, and Treasure Hunting both in the 300s. As I just started doing Synthweaving and most of the item come from Archeology and Underworld Trading I decided the change my Crew Skills. I swapped them both out but check back with Splicing to see if I would keep the level i had, alas no level was 0.

septembersphinx Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yes, you lose your crew skill level if you unlearn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRifle Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do understand that there would be tremendous abuse by players if crew skills were not completely reset whenever unlearned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skodan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Do understand that there would be tremendous abuse by players if crew skills were not completely reset whenever unlearned. this, basically you could switch back and forth with no repercussions if this was allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhead Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Ah poo Oh well, I understand it could be abused but then again they could make it so you could only change back to a skill once a week or something like that so that it can't be abused too much maybe Guess I'll have to create crafting alts then... Thx for the replies people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnarthok Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Abuse is still Abuse. If you only beat your significant other for 30 minutes a night instead of 2 hours it is still abuse. Same thing as if they limited how often you could switch your professions with keeping your skill levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrillThrall Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) I bypass the downside of having crafting alts by the simple expedient of not having alts at all: I consider all of my characters to be main characters, and they get more or less equal time. The variety and flexibility is great, and I'm in no big hurry to get any of them to level 50. Edited January 22, 2012 by DrillThrall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electronic Arts/BioWare want people to continue subscribing for as long as possible. They are, after all, a for-profit company. They want us all to create alts and take our time leveling up. If you could switch between crafting skills once a week or once a month, it would be abuse no matter how you look at it.

Alec_Fortescue Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What about the schematics? I find it really bad that biochem has access to some powerful additions for pvp... I'd switch biochem now for I won't mind losing level in my crafting skill of artifice. The only thing i am afraid of is losing my current schematics. I have all advanced crystals and enhancements discovered, as well as magenta crystals... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRifle Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 What about the schematics? You will lose all schematics as well. It's a total reset if you ever choose to drop any crew skill. People would abuse the crafting system if anything was left behind when dropping a crew skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meriki Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ya you do. It sucks but being able to switch skills undermines the whole idea of a community of crafters helping each other make cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
