Crafting info

[KKND]

Found at http://www.alterswtor.com/archives/1978 (there is a link to a bunch of screenshots at the bottom of the page), posting it here just in case that link should disappear.

Facts

• you can have 1(or 0) crafting skill, no limit on gathering skills, and mission skills
• you can learn all crew skills on Dromund Kaas / Coruscant, after  those  planets, you will find every crew skill trainer on every planet’s  main  base (main base is where your ship arrives)
• you can discover rare recipes while using crafting skills (I mean when your companions are using crafting skills)
• there are some companions with bonuses like “cybertech critical +1″,   it gives the companion more chance to discover rare recipes
• you can only do gathering skills, your companions can do everything
• yes, your droid is a companion
• every character knows reverse engineering, and you can reverse items   your companions made (not all of them, for example you can’t reverse   mods)

Gathering skills

• by “mining”, I mean there’s a node, like mining nodes on wow, and you harverst materials from that node, like you did in wow
• by “skinning”, I mean there’s a dead monster of some kind, and   after you loot it, you can harverst some materials from it, just like   with skinnig beasts in wow

Slicing

• How  it works: There are electronic safes, broken computers, data  storage  units, and other stuff like that on the planets, and you can  â€œmine”  from them.
• What it gives: Lockboxes, and the lockboxes can contaion: money (mostly), items, blue cybertech materials.
• What crafting skill uses it: Cybertech.

   Note: If you have slicing, you’re rich, if you don’t have, you’re poor.

 
Archeology

• How it works: There are crystal nodes on the planets, and you can “mine” from them.
• What it gives: Color crystals (for lightsaber mods), power crystals   (basic material for lightsaber, and force user armor stuff), artifact   fragments (datacron assembling stuff).
• What crafting skill uses it: Artifice, synthweaving.

   Note: Nothing extra. It works exactly like mining in wow, minus the mining pick.


 Scavenging

• How  it works: There are scrap nodes, metals, and stuff like that on  the  planets. You can “mine” from them. Other than those, you can “skin”   strong / elite / boss droids.
• What it gives: Metals (basic materials for armormech, armstech, and cybertech).
• What crafting skill uses it: Armormech, armstech, cybertech.

   Note: Very easy to level, because there are shitloads of strong / elite / boss droids in the game.

 
Bioanalysis

• How it works: There are some  plants on the planets, which you can  â€œmine”. Other than that, you can  â€œskin” strong / elite / boss bioligical  enemies.
• What it gives: Generic materials (basic biochem material).
• What crafting skill uses it: Biochem.

   Note: Nothing extra. I think you get the idea here.

 
Crafting skills

 Item slots on a character: Head, chest, hand, waist, legs, feet,   wrist, ear, implant, 3x relic, and of course your 2 hands for weapons /   other stuff.

 Don’t get confused, you will see power / color crystals here too  (as  you saw at archeology). They have the same name, but they’re not the   same stuff. The power / color crystals here are made from those “mined”   by archeology.

Synthweaving

 Light, medium, heavy armor for all force users, for the following slots: Head, chest, hand, waist, legs.

Armormech

 Light, medium, heavy armor for all non-force users, for the following slots: Head, chest, hand, waist, legs.

• feet (item slot)
• wrist (item slot)
• harness (armor mod (str + end, willpower + end))
• overlay (armor mod (str + end, willpower + end))
• underlay (armor mod (str + end, willpower + end))

Cybertech

• droid armor (core, motor, sensor unit, parts â€" works the same as  armormech for non-furce users, or syntweaving for force users)
• ear (item slot)
• feet (item slot)
• wrist (item slot)

• granedes (nothing to explain on that)

Armstech
