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 “mine” 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 “mine”. Other than that, you can “skin” 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.
