OnlyIrish Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It seems that Slicing is a good way t go for Cybertch, but my only issue is that UT and Scavenging is the main way to collect materials for this skill.. When is it a good time to switch over to slicing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emyar Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Slicing gives you schematics for ship upgrades and the cybertech mounts, which can all be bought on the GTN. It's not really worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kibbers Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I went slicing, cybertech, and scavenging. The only thing I seem to be missing is the blue metals from underworld trading. That is used to make all the ship upgrades, droid armor, and any blue mods & earpieces. So you can do what I did and buy the metals you need. Or you can level the 3 traditional with cybertech, and when you feel you have enough blue/purple metals from underworld trading, switch to slicing.

RudeMood Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 The real problem is you can NEVER have enough blues / purples from UT. Having to buy them means you are subject to the GTN market fluctuations and significantly risk being overcharged for your items, or not getting them when you need them. For leveling I guess it would be alright to keep slicing as you could still make basic mods and grenades with just Scavenging and Cybertech, leveling your skill that way. Paying for mats for BoP things like speeders would cost you more than buying the vendor ones outright, and our ability to use Cybertech for any sort of money making would be greatly diminished. So, things to consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksabbi Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I went Cybertech/slicing/scavaging on my alt and I'm pretty happy with it. I have UT on my main so if I craft something needing rare or better metals I just get it from my main. So far while leveling my alt I've been able to craft everything I need and wanted for nothing.

OnlyIrish Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I read on another Forum thread that you can farm the Scavenge materials just by destroying droid NPCs on certain worlds and such? So does that mean I can keep my Cybertech. Slicing, and UT skills and then just farm the Scavenge materials? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjet Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I read on another Forum thread that you can farm the Scavenge materials just by destroying droid NPCs on certain worlds and such? So does that mean I can keep my Cybertech. Slicing, and UT skills and then just farm the Scavenge materials? You misunderstood. If you have the scavenging skill you can use it on certain droids in order to harvest just like you would nodes, but you still have to have the skill trained.

OnlyIrish Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 OOooh okay, that makes a lot more sense, thanks. I guess I will replace Slicing with Scavenge then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverWF Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Scav - enough to exp Cyber, coz UT need only(!) for craft blue/purple reciepes. Untill you can't craft 400 Cyber and 45-50 lvl blue/purple items - it's money wasting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
