cshouston Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Prior to patch 1.2, I was able to crit a Rakata relic in about three attempts. Since 1.2, and with changes in my gear, I want to switch to a different relic, so I spent all night crafting them. I burned through about 20 biometric crystal alloys (as well as 160 corusca gems, and other mats), no joke, and had zero crits. Now, I understand the nature of RNG, but this seems a little bit ridiculous. Can anyone confirm that these are even still possible to crit craft post-1.2? Thank you.

thelebowski Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I myself am now 0 for 37 on criting on a relic slot post patch so I would tend to believe that there is some hidden bug. I sent in a report to a CSR and they told me it's "working as designed". I'm pretty sure they are secretly screwing artifice and not letting anyone know.

DarthDemens Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes, you can still crit them. You can also crit-craft the new Campaign relics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threepers Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I think you were a bit lucky with that first crit, took me 15 tries to get my first augmented relic pre 1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkghost Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Yes, you can still crit them. You can also crit-craft the new Campaign relics. By Campaign relics do you mean the new ones you can buy with daily coms. ? If so how do you get those recipes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacedemon Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 By Campaign relics do you mean the new ones you can buy with daily coms. ? If so how do you get those recipes ? You have to re the relic with a 20% chance to learn how to make it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkghost Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 After you larn the relic and then craft it is it a BoP item you make or BoE. Would be nice if we culd mke these for other people and try to make some money. Same way cybertechs and biocems can off implants and ear pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artifice can RE the daily com relics, and has a 20% chance to learn to craft a BoE version of the relic.

Crawfishies Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Artifice can RE the daily com relics, and has a 20% chance to learn to craft a BoE version of the relic. What mats would it require? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDemens Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 What mats would it require? Well, I'll make the assumption that they all require the same mats as the one schematic I can make currently. (Campaign Relic of Boundless Ages) In which case it is: 10xPrimeval Artifact Fragment 12xUpari Crystal 8xCorusca Gem 4xMolecular Stabilizer 2xSynthetic Energy Matrix The Synthetic Energy Matrix are actually fairly easy to get, since you can get them from the Crafting Mats box for Fleet Commendations. The Molecular Stabilizer is the bottleneck for us, since we haven't gotten them from a box, only as drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelebowski Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 I just received this message from a CSR. "To set your expectations, the relics from the Artifice crew skill will not yield an augment slot even if a critical message is received." So apparently you cannot crit on them anymore.

I hope that's not true for implants and Biochems too. I can go find a post from Georg where he had to alleviate some confusion he'd created about implants coming back with 2 on a crit. I was sure he said, 'nope, that was a mistake, you will still get augment slots.' I'll be pissed if I just tossed like 5 mil worth of the grade 8 purple mats making a bunch of Black Hole Implants that had no chance of critting...

For armor, this means a chance to learn the custom (orange) appearance of item, for implants, earpieces, mods, etc. This means learning to craft the item itself. All of these may be crafted critical for an additional augment slot or, in case of a mods, additional resulting items." He specifies Campaign here, but all Black Hole can be REd as well except for the empty shell to get an orange. Sounds like the CSR is wrong. I can't imagine they'd change it for Rakata but not for Campaign/Black Hole. That post is only like a week and a half old.

I hope this is not true. Since 10 days I tried over 30 times to crit a relic and burned lot's of biometric crystal and corusca gems. Why BW didn't write such changes in the patch notes?
