fievelgoespostal Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I've seen a few of these for sale on the market. Where do you get these? Why would you buy them from the market? I thought missions were always changing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singuin Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 yes they do change... but some u only get if you find them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fievelgoespostal Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 makes sense..im assuming then it goes in your inventory so that you can sell... and they arent available by visiting the mission trainer. missions repeatable or is it a one time use ?

quaesitor Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 These items add a special mission to your list. Typically this mission will take a bit longer than a normal mission, but the rewards are a lot better. So far I have used a couple I got through slicing, and was getting 2-3 rewards (some purple) from each one. I would think they might be worth buying but the price would have to be low enough to make up for the fact that you ALSO have to pay to send your minion out on them. Also, you can fail them. Which happened to me once, and I was not pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GawdoOo Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 In beta I got a few as random drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexC Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) I got "Missions Discovery: Archaeology" from Slicing and used it. Got a fourth option in my Crew Skills called "Slicing" however there are no missions in that option. Is that a bug, or do I get a mission in there eventually?

rustycuisinart Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 To add onto this, does anyone know if these are one time use things or do they create a mission that is forever then in your rotation of available missions? I used one of these and noticed a small lock in the corner that was unlocked and not even thinking went on the mission and ... failed. I haven't seen the mission since and am wondering if I had locked it would it still be available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LexC Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 (edited) Still no luck, been waiting all day and no missions have been given to me in that category... Could this be a glitch, should I try to use another "Missions Discovery: Archaeology" item? Just thinking out loud here, and hoping for some help. [EDIT] As I logged back in I noticed that Slicing skill is not an option anymore, so I've decided to have a look under Archaeology skill and under 'Mission Level 17-24' I've found a Mission called "Treasure Map" it costs 450 credits with a duration of 12 minutes, and the rewards are higher than usual. [EDIT2]The rewards were: 2x Blue Igneous Crystal9x Red Igneous Crystal3x Green Igneous Crystal19x Sacred Artifact Fragment3x Eralam Crystal Edited December 17, 2011 by LexC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen the mission since and am wondering if I had locked it would it still be available? Good question and one that I'd also like an answer to. I have done several blue splicing missions and have only ever been able to do them once before they seems to disappear forever. Based on that, I get the impression that they are single use/run only per mission discovery item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraxa Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 They are in fact one time use. However they also give ridiculously good rewards. Usually a Rich or Plentiful yield in multiple categories. They also seem to have a guaranteed "crit" chance, as they always seemed to return artifact-level materials when I did them. The cost of the missions is easily worth it, at least for scavenging, as the artifact-level scavenged metals it returns are easily 500+ credits each.

AndiusTheGreat Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) So is it confirmed slicing gives these? I'm trying to compile a list of what different gathering/mission skills give other than the basic resources used to create items. So far I have: Crafting Schematics- Underworld Trading (Confirmed) Companion Gifts- Underworld Trading (Confirmed) It would be nice if I could get a conformation on: New Missions- Slicing (Unconfirmed) I really figured it would be under investigation.

Grassetblag Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I've used a slicing mission that I either looted or acquired through slicing (was going through so many missions and looting boxes, really wasn't paying too close of attention). Found purple treasure hunting missions as well, fwiw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diablorist Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 It would be nice if I could get a conformation on: New Missions- Slicing (Unconfirmed) I really figured it would be under investigation. Confirmed, I was slicing a lot earlier and picked up four different ones of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems to be a bug you get when you swap between characters and use crew skills. I've had it myself. Don't know if that's what you did , but it's appeared when I did that.

Sagerk Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 these unique missions are found via slicing and provide a 1 time mission that always crits and always provides much better returns than normal missions of the same level. That is all conjecture based on what I've seen, I"ve run about 8 of these unique missions and the above is what I've found 8/8 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woostercav Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 Anyone know if you can do the same mission more than once if you buy/find two separate 'mission discoveries'? In other words if i did an underworld trading (150) mission, then found the same underworld trading (150) mission, could i do it again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
