M_o_s_e_s Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hey I'm a level 400 Artificer here and after making myself a few relics I decided to make a light saber from the End Game gear stuff. Well first I would like to say that I'm proud of the fact that I can actually sell these and that they are not bound, it's a good thing if you ask me. However I am very picky and being that this one was for myself, I didn't like the name I choose or the fact that it didn't crit. So I thought about RE'ing it in hopes that I could at least get back 1 of the 3 Biometric Alloys that it takes to create the thing and to my surprise I got about 10% of the mats after RE'ing it ( 3x Upari Crystal ). It's a shame if you ask me that the recipe consist of 10x artifact fragments 8x Lordian Gems 3x Alloy and 10x Upari crystals AND THAT'S WHAT I GET BACK ! Idk but those number just don't add up in my book. Maybe just a vent here, but I felt I had to put it in writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellakkrin Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 You don't need it to crit because there are better mods to put in anyway. They appear to be simply for people to choose certain skins/sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yes you need to crit to get the extra augment slot for 28 extra (main) stat. It is kind of retarded you don't get more mats back. It feels like before last patch you also got back but not anymore. /Nordar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boshlord Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Honestly I don't think these can crit. Lightsabers don't seem like something that would be able to (never seen critted weapons before). Not to mention if its sellable why re it when you can sell it for the price of mats atleast (I'm sure someone would pay 25K for it if they will pay 25K for level 34 epic implants) not to mention it can't get you an epic recipe due to the fact all the parts are just mods.

Nordar Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) If Torhead is to be trusted then sabers with extra aug slot exist: http://www.torhead.com/schematic/7toCXdo/niman-masters-primary-lightsaber When hilts can be removed these will become the best in game when you move rakata mods. I think you have never seen one because they require rediculus many mats to craft. Most notably 3 boss alloys which multiplied by number of times to crit makes it time consuming. /Nordar Edited February 19, 2012 by Nordar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhaphael Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 If Torhead is to be trusted... Torhead can NOT be trusted. There's a lot of data mining from the beta left over in the databases. For instance all armors/weapons show an augment slot. Even dropped-only ones. That said, Lightsabers can have an augment slot. There are several screenshots on this forum showing people crit crafted them and obtained augment slots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racheakt Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Light sabers can be critted, there are several posts with screen shots, let me go see if i can find them. Edit : here Edited February 19, 2012 by Racheakt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseGrims Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) You don't need it to crit because there are better mods to put in anyway. They appear to be simply for people to choose certain skins/sounds. no if you crit you get an augment slot, and in 1.2 when we are able to take hilts out of tier stuff, you will be able to move your columi/rakata sabers mods over to you new one add an augment making it better.

DarthGile Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) You can crit on Lightsabers and receive an augmented slot. I let Xalek make a Radiant Blade (end/willpower). After 3 tries and 9 biometric crystal alloys later, I own possibly the most potentially valuable light saber on Jung-Ma. =) Radiant Blade [Exceptional] Edited February 19, 2012 by DarthGile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_o_s_e_s Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Yeah I wanted the mats back so I could try again at least some. It is a shame that I got so little. Also someone mentioned that before the patch it seemed you got more mats back, is this confirmed ? I def know you can crit this because a guildie of mine has an end game gun that is critted. Either way Ill just try again after a few ops and HM's I should have enough to make another one and hopefully it will crit this time. I now know I can't RE it for the mats so I will just sell if it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqyre Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have seen the crafted orange guns that armstech make crit so i am quite sure the sabers can crit as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you need proof, my character is Kapono, Vrook Lamaar server if you want to come look at it; I can't link it in trade or whisper for some reason though, so you'd need to inspect my character.

Ellakkrin Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 An augment will not make up for the total loss of stats you will suffer in choosing an orange saber over an epic tier 2/3 saber, unless Bioware allow for said sabers to be modified like armour will be able to in 1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natarii Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 An augment will not make up for the total loss of stats you will suffer in choosing an orange saber over an epic tier 2/3 saber, unless Bioware allow for said sabers to be modified like armour will be able to in 1.2 Read patch notes: next major update is slated to make all end game drops fully modable, therefore allowing removal of ALL mods from the tiered gear. That said, the Radiant Blade [Exceptional] that I'm currently using (third one i made) actually is better than the tier 2 light sabers that drop in EV - the Hilt in the dropped sabers is actually a Force Wielder hilt, which, as a sorcerer, I have no need for - the rank 23 Resolve hilt is itemized better than the rank 24 Force Wielder hit for sorcerers. All other mods in my crit crafted saber are rank 24 and 25 mods ripped from other drops - once I can put a rank 25 Resolve Hilt into it, it'll be best in slot.

Randomblade Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Can only the one that requries the biometric crystal alloys crit? Why not use one that requires lesser materials since you can put better mods into it equaling the same piece if the mods are the same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
