Vigilark Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 How important are they? I have a Jedi Consular artificer (it's an alt but might become my main, not sure) but just noticed that there's no companions that give a bonus to it:( Wondering if I should make an Inquisitor instead since they have a companion that gives bonuses to it.

Herem Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Khem Val's bonus is only 15% efficiency. Create a Sith Inquisitor anyway to experience the story, but don't do it for that paltry bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vigilark Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 What does the 15% efficiency pertain too? Less time to create an item? Or is the item 15 percent better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyofmany Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Maybe he already has other toons that he's leveled to 55-60 and wants another toon for a crafting bonus. A guild mate of mine has 20 toons, 16 of each advanced class and 4 which are pure crafting/storage. By the way, efficiency is only the time it takes for a companion to craft something. Critical is what gets you an augmented version of the item you're crafting, or 2 of whatever you're crafting, or extra mats from a mission.

psandak Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 What does the 15% efficiency pertain too? Less time to create an item? Or is the item 15 percent better? efficiency = time reduction nothing more. The "best" artificer bonuses come from HK-51 and Treek in the form of +1 crit to ALL crafting. Furthermore IMO the consular has the weakest crew skill bonuses of all eight classes. So if you play a consular just pick whatever you want.

Vigilark Posted December 10, 2014 Author Share Posted December 10, 2014 Didn't know you could get HK. He's from the single player game/s right? I read there's a quest to get him in this game. What level can you get him? I don't have any high level characters. Although I'm a founder, I only played the game for 2 weeks when it first came out. I deleted my characters and just started over recently. My highest level character was like lvl 25-28. Just now getting back into the game. My highest lvl character now is lvl 12.

Dragondog Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 You do the quest to get HK in Section X. After you've done it, you can pick him up on any character for 1 million credits, IIRC. Even a level 1 character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 There is not a single companion for any class that gives bonus to Artifice. Khem Val just has efficiency bonus, which is completely useless. Only a Crit bonus matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falmair Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 technically Treek gives a bonus to Artifice , and everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenRakescar Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 (edited) How important are they?

The innate bonuses on some companions is not as good as the hidden bonus you get from max affection, so don't sweat it too much. Max Companion Affection (10.000) will give you 5% chance to Crit and 15% Efficiency. As far as I know, their innate stats are additive to the affection bonus.

eartharioch Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 technically Treek gives a bonus to Artifice , and everything else. Treek and HK-51 both give +1 to all Crafting (not mat) missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
