Bookworm_Jedi Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Been years and I never used augs or aug kits. Horrible, I know. I debated either taking arms or armor tech with my trooper. But it appears one makes the augments and one makes the kits? I suppose I'm just confused to what the purpose of making an aug kit is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rutigkille Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Synthweaving is the one you want. As a Trooper you want alacrity and crit augments. Both synth, arms, and armor are able to create the Kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mubrak Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 (edited) Crew skills that make augments also make kits. The kit is used to add an augment-slot to a piece of gear. Everytime you get a new ear, implant or relic you need to add the augment slot first before you can put it in an augment. Same for armor of course, but there the outfit designer allows you to change looks while keeping the same gear. The crew skills that create augments (and kits) are: Synthweaving (Crit !!!, Alacrity !!! and Defense) Armstech (Accuracy !!, Power! and Endurance) Armormech (Mastery!, Shield, Absorb) Synth has by far the most demanded augments. The real money is made (or saved) with crafting the kits, though. There is a constant demand on kits: while you can buy an augment of the current max grade and stick with it till the next big patch, you need a kit to use that augment everytime you get some shiny new gear. For kits, Armstech and Armormech have a better supply of mats, as you can scavenge mats from slain droids in addition to gathering nodes. Of course you aren't limited to one character in this game, and augments also need slicing mats, so you need a second character to get these anyway. Any crew skill can create the augment kit components, so a cybertech with scavenging and slicing could collect the mats, while the synthweaver builds the augments and kits for both of them.

Bookworm_Jedi Posted February 24, 2017 Author Share Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks Guess I'll have my trooper do the gathering for the mats,and I'll have my sent do synthweaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psandak Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Thanks Guess I'll have my trooper do the gathering for the mats,and I'll have my sent do synthweaving That only works if your trooper is an archaeology gatherer. Different gathering and missions skills feed the different crafting skills: Armstech needs Scavenging, Investigation, and Slicing Armormech needs Scavenging, Underworld Trading METALS, and Slicing Synthweaving needs Archaeology, Underworld Trading FABRICS, and Slicing.
