Exertim Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 - Not re-useable - Ridiculous amount of paste per stim - Not re-able for a re-useable version - 12 more stats and slightly more power It's not even worth it to make the Exotech stims unless you're a super min/maxer. You'll actually end up losing money (at least on my server) if you made them vs just selling the paste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See - that logic may have reached me if we weren't already at such a laughable state - you know, when Synthweavers/Artifice can crit craft themselves BiS augmented relics/belts/bracers, then land on Biochem for reusables, while we're concussed by the nerfbat every other week.

firesprite_ea Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Why do ppl say that artifice / synth can crit their BoP as if it is a 100% guaranteed? This is nonsence! You get one alloy from the run. Say .. you have a nice group and you do it in 40 mins (we do Taral V in that amount). In the end you get 1 (ONE!) alloy and you have 4 ppl. With consta group you rotate it between ppl so it is 1 alloy in 4 days (if you do 1 run a day). I am not a hardcore player so on a workday I will do only 1 HM FP. SO that is one alloy for me. ON weekend we may be run 2-3. So ... 2 alloys in a week. Now, based on my exp with implants - you get a mastercraft every 6 crafts or so (ofc it is random, but that is the avegade I had). So you need 3 weeks to get a chance to proc 1 item. THat is for a normal player. Sure, harcore ones will run the instaces more often but ... i care little abt them - they are the minority. If OP is a hardcore player - he should stop complainin, switch to artifice and level it to 400 (1 day max for a harcore player) get his relic, do same with synth and go back to biochem. That is what hardcore players do. If you are not one of them ... do not complain you can not have the same. If you are not a harcore player you should not care that much abt min/maxing (and that is all what this fuss with augments is about) and just enjoy the game. I know I do and I am pretty happy about it ^__^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chorusgirl Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I thought that the exotech stims were supposed to be re-usable, I guess not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get 2-3 drops per boss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilmarFyrewynd Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 lol your not doing it right, go run EV on normal and you will walk out with 2 - 3 alloys yourself, not even mentioning your group mates. You get 2-3 drops per boss. Getting 8 good players for EV is tough. There are two BCAs that drop per boss. This is static. If you can beat Soa, that's 10 BCAs. I've run it twice from end to end and one time failed to kill Soa due to bug and won only two. With the sheer amount of time that needs to be dedicated to EV, I've given up critting my Rakata Bracer/Belt and kept the normal non-critted ones. I have since changed to Biochem and leveled it to 400. I'm sure there are others that have the time and a group of friends who can do EV on a weekly basis or zerg through HMs, but it's definitely not easy.

So you can get 8 BCAs in a 8-man run of EV, 16 in a 16-Man. Edit: And HardMode doesn't drop any BCAs. It drops the Alien Cubes. BCAs only drop in HM FPs and Normal Ops.
