Having been thinking about crafting recently, ive realised that we may need some planning as a guild to help supply each other craftables.
MAIN INFOso 3 skills per character from
Gathers (for collecting stuffs):
Archaeology – the ability to seek out imbued items like Lightsaber crystals and ancient artifacts
Bioanalysis – the practice of collecting genetic material from creatures and plants
Scavenging – the art of recovering useful materials and parts from old or damaged technology
Slicing – a skill in accessing secured computer systems and lockboxes to acquire valuable data and rare schematics
Crafts (for making stuff):
Armormech – the ability to work with hard metals and electronic shielding to construct all types of personal armor
Armstech – the skill of constructing blasters, blaster rifles and upgrades
Artifice – the delicate work of constructing Jedi and Sith artifacts
Biochem –the engineering of performance-enhancing chemical serums and biological implants
Cybertech – the technical expertise to construct gadgets and components for Droids and high-tech armors
Synthweaving – the art of creating lighter outfits and armors that are imbued with supernatural qualities
Mission skills (send those pesky crew members out to get stuffs)
Diplomacy – the art of conducting and managing negotiations
Investigation – the skill of examining evidence and following clues to discover valuable secrets
Treasure Hunting – the ability to track down and recover valuable items by investigating a series of clues
Underworld Trading – expertise in the trading of illegal goods and services
So selecting 3 of those for your team may be hard, so heres more info.
Interdependence Armormech uses materials from Scavenging, Investigation, and Underworld Trading.
Armstech uses materials from Scavenging and Treasure Hunting.
Artifice uses materials from Archaeology, Treasure Hunting, and Underworld Trading.
Biochem uses materials from Bioanalysis and Underworld Trading.
Cybertech uses materials from Scavenging, Slicing, Treasure Hunting, and Underworld Trading.
Synthweaving uses materials from Archaeology, Diplomacy, Investigation, and Underworld Trading.
SO from that you can tell that 1 crafting skill per toon is all youll reasonably be able to do well. (and underworld trading seems to be the daddy of mission skills)
What can i craft?Cybertech - This skill specializes in Droid upgrades, but can also craft earpieces. They also make modifications for certain items: Harnesses, Overlays, Underlays, Circuitry, Gadgets and Generators.
Armstech - This skill specializes in creating weapons like the Assault Cannon, Blaster Pistol, Blaster Rifle and Sniper Rifle. It also allows a player to craft weapon modifications: Barrels, Scopes and Triggers.
Synthweaving - This skill specializes in creating armor, allowing a player to craft light, medium and heavy variations. There were no other item categories listed, so you can probably assume that the skill will not be able to craft modifications, instead leaving that to other skills like Cybertech.
Artifice - This skill specializes in creating modifications for items, including lightsabers - something Jedi will covet during their journeys. The item categories the Artifice skill can craft are: Circuitry, Emitter Matrix, Focus Crystal, Focus Lens, Gadget, Harness, Overlay, Underlay and Resonance Crystal.
Biochem - Allows the creation of performance-enhancing serums and various implants. You can consider this the 'potion maker' of The Old Republic.
crits? and rarity?Yes, both are affected by the "affection" level with your companions.
This can change based on action during dialogues, interactions with them, and the giving of gifts (vendored)
Higher affection gives better chance at finding rarer schematics/materials on mission.
