XxPetexX Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Today marks A MONTH that I have been crew skill farming for a specific recipe and not gotten it. Every day (almost) I've been sending my companions on missions to get a recipe (aspiring knights vest syntweaving)... I've gotten like 100 recipes in that time but NOT the aspiring knights vest. This system is flawed... there shoul be a means to farm towards a specific recipe and not have it be totally random. In WoW.... if you wanted a recipe.... you learned it dropped from a mob/boss/instance... and then you farmed that until you got it.... you knew that eventually you'd get it.... the RNG was just bound to that specific enemy. I **** you not when I say that I've been frequently sent companions on missions for that recipe for a month now. I've done research online on mission levels etc.... But the damn thing just wont drop!

System_TOR Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 (edited) I agree, the methods for gaining schematics in this game are horrible, and checking the GTN for them is just as bad, there is very rarely any on there, and for some crew skills there is very often none, and I'm on a high pop server. The whole thing needs to be reworked. I think the mission crew skills should just be removed or replaced with skills with some actual substance, right now they are just weak and hinder players to the point of being annoying.

Do what the majority of players have done already reroll biochem, and use alts for everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dar-Ell Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 how is the RNG being tied to a MOB different from the RNG being tied to a Mission? If you had been farming this monster for a month and the RNG hadn't rewarded you with the schematic, that would be ok because you got to fight a monster over and over and over to the exclusion of everything else? Instead, you get to go out and explore/quest/fight/pvp/whatever while your companions farm for the mission for you and this is the worse system? Please explain the difference, I is con-fuse-ed.

The difference is, one requires you to form a group and do a dungeon, hoping no one else is your profession... And the other requires you to send one of your many companions on a mission, which can be repeated, while you go and do other things... THIS SYSTEM IS AWFUL!!

Because the RNG of the missions is not tied to ONE recipe. If one specific recipe is tied to ONE mob, you know you'll get it eventually. Here (I don't knkow the actual number) 30 recipes can be tied to the same missions. Meaning you are just as likely to get 5 out of a recipe you don't need rather than the one yoo do want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QQ I'd MUCH rather form a group together and go do a flashpoint where I KNOW stuff will drop at a fairly decent rate. Than mind-numbingly sending companions every THIRD minute with no guarantee what-so ever that they A.... will return with a recipe at all and B.... if they return witha recipe there's like 1 chance in 30 that it's the one I actually need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, you can even sell the recipe's you don't need and make a little extra bling bling (I'm sorry...I have no idea why I used that term). Unless you aren't really upset with the system and are just venting. If that is the case, I apologize, I know how sometimes venting your frustrations can help.

Also, you can complete those missions faster than you can finish a dungeon, which btw has no guarantee either that you'll get a recipe, or that it will always be the one you need.

If said Mob always dropped said recipe/schematic it would be just a matter of time (much shorter time) to get said item. Ide also like a way to quest for rare schematics. SOLO quests. LONG quests.

XxPetexX Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 I've saved the recipes I've gotten so far.... 6 lower acolytes robes 3 Drelliad jackets 1 Hardweave leggings 2 traditional demicot 1 spec ops leggings 2 republic troopers greaves 3 hardened plastfoid greaves 2 sith dueling pants Rest is in my storage locker and I'm too far away to check that.... But point is I'm farming for ONE specific recipe and I've gotten several out of others but NOT the one I need... bad bad bad system imho.

Ide also like a way to quest for rare schematics. SOLO quests. LONG quests. Multiplanet quests. Ok, I would definitely be in favor of that. Right now my biggest hurdle is finding a group (I trust) to help me kill a world boss or two for the magenta crystal schematic. My guild is small (but fun) and it's hard to get people online at a time to get these world bosses dropped, and then to do it however many times is necessary to get the schematic. A quest that required me to travel from Dromund Kaas to Tat to Alderaan to Korriban to Correllia to Taris to Belsavis to Hoth with two or three missions on each planet would actually be ok for me.

I've been at this every day (almost) for a month:P If that's once a day that's not a lot, if you're doing it multiple times a day then it's more likely you're sending out on the wrong missions.

XxPetexX Posted March 3, 2012 Author Share Posted March 3, 2012 There are just too many recipes bound with an RNG to the same missions. It gets very frustrating when you get the SAME recipes over and over again but not the one you need. And you are just as likely to get a recipe several times over as you are getting the one you want.
