Dawginole Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 TC/TCHM/TC16/TCHM16 are four options. I believe they also drop in S&V, but I can't remember that precisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchayka Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Bet they're not crafting mat for 78 gear, coz if they are it's huge problem. 12 items per 16men a week is a blast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlrikFassbauer Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 From the 2.4 Patch Notes : Crew Skills Crafting Skills General Removed Isotope-5 as a material requirement for crafting Rating 156 [Artifact] gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pchayka Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Who cares about 156 gear, i meant level 31+ gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sindariel Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Stabilized Isotope-5 has been removed from all vendors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zohkar Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I knowticed that and I know it says this in the patch notes, "• Removed Isotope-5 as a material requirement for crafting Rating 156 [Artifact] gear". But doesn't say anything about other patterns not needing like 30 - 31 crafted armors, mods & enhancments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyL Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 So is it or is it not needed for level 30-31 stuff? You still need it. They must have removed it from the basic commendation vendors by accident. I filed a bug report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMellross Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I know they were removed for crafting item rating 156 gear but they are still required for crafting higher level gear. If they are now only available from TC to craft 72 gear then that's ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ilhares Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Who cares about 156 gear, i meant level 31+ gear.I'm wondering if it was a typo of some sort on their part, I craft most of the 156 gear and have since it became available, and the isotope was never required in the construction of the stuff I've made.

Delta_V Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I'm wondering if it was a typo of some sort on their part, I craft most of the 156 gear and have since it became available, and the isotope was never required in the construction of the stuff I've made. It was required for some of schematics obtained with Basic Comms. Like the [Artifact] implants for Biochem or ear pieces for Cybertech both required 1 vial of Iso-5 (I'm not sure about the craftable belts and bracers). This was as opposed to the [Artifact] schematics you obtained via RE'ing, which only required purple grade 9 mats. Of course, this was balanced by the fact that the [Artifact] implants and ear pieces were far superior to the other 156-grade stuff, and in some cases were actually comparable to Arkanian items.

Ilhares Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Good to know! Thank you for the clarification on that. (and glad it's gone, before I load up on said schematics) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyaniteD Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I would like to know as well. My 31 armoring schematics still list a requirement of 5x Vials of Isotope 5. If ops is the only source now, that price will go up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowermanx Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I would like to know as well. My 31 armoring schematics still list a requirement of 5x Vials of Isotope 5. If ops is the only source now, that price will go up... Yes and no, with 72 armourings available easily and cheaply via elite comms now, the demand will plummet, but things like relics, enhancements will still be wanted.

Confucious Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Ok, I know you took the isotope 5 out of the game for crafting certain 156's and are no longer available to purchase from the Basic Comm vendor... Then WHY THE HECK DIDNT YOU take them out of the (168's) 31 Hilts, Armor, Mods and Enhancements? Are we still able to get them from Taborro's Courtyard, if so is that the only way we can get them so the price goes into the millions and the people start Ninja'ing isotopes from there as well???????????? Please let us know, I know a few people that would like to know because trying to get them just from TC is laughable at best!! P.S. Is there a Vendor that sells them I'm not aware of?

Othaala Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yes this is quite annoying. No communication and a total ball drop on behalf of BW/EA. The last time EA had a bs bug like this, well you launched SimCity 5. Thank you oh so much for bringing that degree of incompetence to SWTOR.

dscount Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yeah that is complete CRAP. Still need those mats to make stuff, but we can't even RE gear to get them either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No vendor sells them 2. You can get them from Toborro's Courtyard and so just run it on SM and HM on 16 man a couple times a week. If you don't want ninjas then don't pug.

The patch notes state "Removed Isotope-5 as a material requirement for crafting Rating 156 [Artifact] gear." 156 gear is not the only craftable gear that requires Isotope-5. So yes, this was not clearly communicated at all - anywhere. Thanks for playing. Anyway, there's now like 10 threads on this subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
