:sy_inventory: [aname=anchor12]F.A.Q. - FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS[/aname]

 

1. What are Crew Skills?

 

Crew Skills are unique player professions within the game. They can be split in to three categories:

 

Gathering - The materials gained from gathering skills are used in crafting skills

Crafting - You can make various items through crafting, from lightsabers to medpacs

Mission - These skills also have some of the rarer materials needed for crafting, amongst other things too

 

You can have up to 3 crew skills maximum per character on your server. However, please note that you can only have 1 crafting skill per character.

 

2. Where do I get my Crew Skills?

 

You will be sent to your faction fleet after completing your starting planet. Having gone up the elevator to the fleet's main floor there will be a quest at the mission terminal located just ahead of the elevator itself. Collect it, then open your map and proceed to the 'Crew Skills' area. Proceed to talk to every crew skill trainer for information regarding the skill to be added to your in-game codex and some bonus exp too. If you train a skill before talking to them all the quest will complete itself and you won't be able to get the experience from talking to other trainers!

 

3. How do Crew Skills differ from other games?

 

Unlike other games where you craft the items yourself, in SW:ToR you send your companion to do it for you instead. Crafting an item can take your companion anywhere between a couple of minutes to several hours. This means you can craft whilst still doing missions or other activities, as long as you keep queuing up schematics. You can also send your companion to collect materials from gathering and mission Crew Skills too!

 

4. What does it cost to learn a Crew Skill?

 

Absolutely nothing, the real cost comes from learning all the schematics from your trainer as you progress through your Crew Skill's levels.

 

5. Can I unlearn a Crew Skill?

 

You certainly can! All you need to do is open your companion window 'N', locate the crew skill you want gone and click the small X icon which is located near the progress bar, to the far right.

 

6. What will happen if I unlearn a Crew Skill?

 

When you unlearn a Crew Skill you remove all current progress and any schematics you may have learnt. If you choose to retake the same Crew Skill at a later date, you will have to start from rank 1 all over again.

 

7. My Companion returned with nothing! Is this a bug?

 

No, your Companion can fail Crew Skill missions and return with nothing. This is intended. They can't fail at crafting an item however.

 

8. My Companion returned with an item but something happened and I didn't take it! What do I do?!

 

When this occurs the mission isn't yet completed. It is however, pending. You can still claim the rewards so don't worry! You can see your pending missions in the top right corner of the screen next to the quest tracker. Simply click it and claim your reward to fully complete the mission!

 

9. Can I disenchant an item?

 

Yes you can! However in SW:ToR the process is called "REVERSE ENGINEERING" look at the reverse engineering section of the guide to learn more! There is also a great Reverse Engineering guide made by Slaign in this very forum and is in the useful links above.

 

10. Do I need to carry all these crafting materials around with me everywhere I go?

 

No not at all! You can put all your crafting materials in your cargo hold (bank), your Companions automatically take the materials from there, as well as your inventory!

 

11. Help! I can't see any of my Crew Skill missions or companions! What do I do?!

 

This is a bug with the UI (user interface). If you are experiencing this problem, all you have to do is hit [CTRL+U] twice to reset your UI. Hitting it once will turn it off, hitting it again will turn it back on.

 

12. How many companions can I send out at once?

 

Your current level will determine how many companions you can send on a crew skill task at any given time. Here is the 'max deployable' list according to character level:

 

[Level 10] -
1

[Level 15] -
2

[Level 25] -
3

[Level 41] -
4

[Level 48] -
5

:sy_star: [aname=anchor1]GENERAL[/aname]

 

  • You can have a maximum of 3 crew skills at any time
  • You can have up to 3 gathering skills at the same time
  • You can have up to 3 mission skills at the same time
  • You can only have 1 crafting skill at any given time
  • To unlearn a skill open up the Crew Skills pane 'N' locate the skill you want rid of then click the small 'x' on the far right
  • If you remove a skill you lose all current progress, relearning the same skill will start you at level 1 again
  • If you unlearn a skill you also lose any rare schematics you may have obtained
  • There are no limitations on what class does what type of crafting
  • You will get a quest around level 10 which will tell you to research a crew skill
  • Each one you talk to gives a nice sum of exp so make sure you talk to them all!
  • Companions can't die on crafting missions but they can fail
  • Gathering professions allow you access to various nodes around the world
  • If your companion is by your side, right clicking on a node will make your companion take it
  • If your companion is by your side and you want to take the node, simply [sHIFT+RIGHT CLICK]
  • If your companion isn't by your side (dismissed or on a crew skill mission) right clicking will cause you to take the loot providing you are in range.
  • Crew Skills belong to you not your companion
  • The time it takes to complete a crew skills depends on your companions affection and efficiency. High affection will result in a lower completion time.
  • If your companion has an efficiency bonus to a particular crew skill this will also reduce the time needed in crafting and gathering/missions to that one skill.
  • Crafting missions can take between 2mins to 24hrs
  • One companion can queue up 5 crafting sessions max, you can keep adding to the queue once a job is completed however. But the total can't exceed 5 at a time.
  • To queue multiple crafting sessions simply keep clicking 'craft' on whatever item you want your companion to create.
  • If you cancel a crafting session before it is completed, you are refunded the materials immediately
  • If you cancel a crew skill mission before it is completed, you will be refunded the cost of starting the task. The only thing lost will be the time you spent previous to cancelling it.
  • The crafting queue can be seen underneath the name of the companion you assigned it to
  • Gathering skills can help in flashpoints, for example, if you have a high enough slicing level you may be able to open a door which provides a shortcut.
  • You can store your gathering materials in the bank and your companion will still have access to them! You don't need to carry them around with you wherever you go!

 

CUSTOM ITEMS

 

  • CUSTOM items are the new item rarity within the game
  • The idea behind custom armour and weapons is so you can have the gear you find aesthetically pleasing ("looks cool" in layman's terms) and it will still be viable in combat by modding the items regularly.
  • Any items shown with an orange border are fully moddable
  • These new fully moddable orange items came from old PROTOTYPE items (blue) and their colours where swapped
  • Remember orange items do not mean legendary!
  • Custom gear is fairly common in the game and can be crafted in certain crew skills.
  • It can be obtained through class quests around level 8, as social gear, as space quest rewards and as light side / dark side gear. Some Crew Skills also allow you to create your own custom gear.
  • Custom gear is also the typical gear found in flashpoints as rewards for heroic missions
  • Several pieces can be obtained through using planetary commendations

  • On critical successes, crafted Custom (orange) gear now receives an Augment slot.
  • Craftable Custom (orange) Battlemaster and War Hero PvP armor has been added to Synthweaving and Armormech. The schematics for these items can be purchased from Battlemaster and War Hero vendors.

 

 

All skills now have their recommended crafting, gathering and mission skills after them. Skills are also color coded. Find the skill you want, note its colour, then simply find other skills of the same colour.

 

Note: If a skill has two colours then its beneficial to more than one profession.

 

The types of crew skills are as follows:

:sy_galaxy: [aname=anchor6]REVERSE ENGINEERING[/aname]

 

  • Reverse Engineering (RE) is the process of de-constructing an item in order to gain some of its crafting materials. There is also a chance of gaining a new recipe.
  • The quality of the item determines what materials you receive
  • You can only Reverse Engineer specific types of items you can craft yourself. For example synthweaving will only allow you to Reverse Engineer force user armours.
  • When an item is reversed engineered, the item is destroyed in the process. Make sure you RE the correct item because once it is gone, it isn't coming back!
  • Reverse engineering can be done at any time in the game, you do not require any form work bench
  • To reverse engineer an item simply click the golden RE icon in the upper right corner of your inventory.
  • When clicked this will blackout any non-reversible items and highlight those you can Reverse.
  • Simply click on the item you want to RE and you will begin doing so.
  • After the item has been RE'd a loot table will pop up with the materials you gathered from the process. Click take all.
  • An important aspect of Reverse Engineering is that it will be the only way to get certain patterns/recipes.
  • Reverse Engineering a green item has a small chance to give you a blue schematic of the same item
  • Reverse Engineering a blue item has a small chance to give you a purple schematic of the same item
  • If you want to reverse engineer health packs or stims be careful because you will reverse engineer the whole stack! Make sure you split up stacks before you reverse engineer if you want to keep a specific quantity.
  • To split a stack simply [sHIFT + CLICK] the item then drag the cursor into an inventory slot.

 

There are two set paths reverse engineering an item can take. This is determined by the item type and can be split up accordingly. I will list both types of reverse engineering with the items that fall into the category shortly after it.

 

1. LINEAR - Item Modifications & consumables

 

[PREMIUM] -> [PROTOTYPE] -> [ARTIFACT]

 

Linear reverse engineering is exactly that, one path with one final outcome. Let's say you learn how to make a basic premium quality Medpac from your Biochem trainer. You make several and decide to reverse engineer them. If you are lucky, you will learn the improved version of the schematic. This will mean you can now make a prototype quality Medpac. Successfully reverse engineering this item has a chance to give you a new artifact quality schematic, you will then be able to craft an artifact quality Medpac. This is the end of the road for that item, as it can no longer be improved. There have been no reports of being able to reverse engineer an artifact schematic into a legendary schematic.

 

2. PREFIX - Crafted Armour & Weapons

 

This is where things start to get a little tricky to fully understand. Prefix crafting only applies to items such as crafted armours and weapons, for these are the only crafted items which can branch out into various stats.

 

It follows the same basic rule of a linear path, except it has more outcomes rather than one solid ending. Loose ends if you will.

 

Let's say you start with a premium schematic you learnt from your crafting trainer. Successfully reverse engineering this item has a small chance to grant you an improved version of it.

 

This new schematic will (as with the linear path) fall into the prototype quality. However this is where things start to differ!

 

You could end up with either one of three different schematics of the same prototype quality. This schematic will fall into the Tier 1 prefix list. Falling in to one of these categories:

 

TIER 1 PREFIX LIST [T1]

 

  • [T1] CRITICAL - Grants you an item with +Crit

  • [T1] OVERKILL - Grants you an item with +Power

  • [T1] REDOUBT - Grants you an item with +Defence

 

Now you might be thinking, "what if I don't get the one I need?" and the answer is simply, tough luck. You will have to keep reverse engineering more items until you get the Tier 1 Prefix you want. (as of patch 1.2 you can no longer learn the same schematic twice and will instead learn a different one, hooray!!)

 

Having managed to successfully learn a prototype Tier 1 prefix schematic. You can now advance on to the Tier 2 prefix list. This is again, done by reverse engineering your prototype item.

 

You will eventually end up with (as with the linear path) an artifact schematic. Now, depending on what Tier 1 prefix you reverse engineered from, will determine what Tier 2 prefix item you will get.

 

The below list shows the Tier 2 prefix underneath the Tier 1 prefix it came from.

 

TIER 2 PREFIX LIST [T2]

 

  • [T1] CRITICAL - Grants you an item with +Crit

  • [T2] FERVOR
    - Crit & Accuracy

  • [T2] SUPREMACY
    - Crit & Alacrity

  • [T2] LEADERSHIP
    - Crit & Presence

  • [T2] TEMPEST
    - Crit & Shield

  • [T2] ENDOWMENT
    - Crit & Surge

  • [T1] OVERKILL - Grants you an item with +Power

  • [T2] HAWKEYE
    - Power & Accuracy

  • [T2] VEHEMENCE
    - Power & Alacrity

  • [T2] COMMANDER
    - Power & Presence

  • [T2] RAMPART
    - Power & Shield

  • [T2] EXPERT
    - Power & Surge

  • [T1] REDOUBT - Grants you an item with +Defence

  • [T2] EXACTITUDE
    - Defence & Accuracy

  • [T2]
    N/A
    - Defence & Alacrity

  • [T2] GENERAL'S
    - Defence & Presence

  • [T2] VERACITY
    - Defence & Shield

  • [T2] ANTI-ARMOR
    - Defence & Surge

 

And that is pretty much the gist of it. You may also be wondering what happens if you originally learnt a prototype schematic from your trainer and start to reverse engineer it. Well, it follows the same rules as if starting from a premium schematic, the only thing is the [T1] prefix will be of artifact quality and so will the [T2] schematic that comes from it.

:sy_item: [aname=anchor7]MODIFICATION[/aname]

 

  • Modification is the process of enhancing an item so that it performs better in combat.
  • Basically when you add a modification you are giving the item better stats
  • Mods can be bought via credits and commendations some can also be traded and sold to other players.
  • You can modify many weapons and armours in game whenever you like
  • A general crafting table isn't required, you simply have to [CTRL+Right Click] the item you want to modify
  • Simply drag and drop or [Right Click] the item into its designated slot and click apply for the mod to take effect.
  • You can also de-mod an item, for a small fee
  • To de-mod an item Simply drag and drop the modification out of its slot and into your inventory, you will then be prompted with a message saying "this will cost however many credits" and click OK. The mod will then be in your inventory and you can place another in its place.
  • If you don't remove the mod from its slot before placing another, the previous mod will be REPLACED and destroyed.
  • Colour crystals change the colour of your weapons effect. These items also have stats on them which means at some point in time you will have to decide whether to keep the colour you want or choose the colour with the better stats.
  • Also note that some colour crystals (and various other items) are forbidden to certain ranks within the Light or Dark side of the force. For example, red lightsaber crystals are forbidden to Rank 1 Light or above.

  • When crafting item modifications (mods, enhancements, etc), a critical success now yields double the quantity of modifications.

:sy_companion: [aname=anchor8]COMPANIONS[/aname]

 

  • For more information regarding companions and levelling please look at my newcomer guide here
  • Companions can be sent to sell all the grey items in your inventory. Simply hit 'N' to open up the companion window and click the icon below the orange head. You will then have to confirm and it will take your companion approximately 3 minutes to complete.
  • Companions can be sent to gather resources and other items from your crew skills. They can however fail and come back with nothing. To do this open your companion window, select the skill and choose a mission to send it on. It will cost a small amount of money and take 3 minutes or more.
  • Often your companion will want to talk with you in private. Head to a Cantina or your space ship to initiate the chat
  • Companions gain and lose affection during story scenes depending on what choices you make. If there is an easy way to see how this happens, I havent seen it. For now you will simply have to make an educated guess based on your companion's personality. If they are aggressive they will often react positively to the darkside choices and vice versa.
  • A positive companion affection decreases the time of crew skill tasks and opens up some side quests.
  • Companions can use the crafting items in your bank so there is no need to lug around excess materials!
  • When you open up your crew skill on your companion window, you will notice your companion has certain traits at the bottom. These could say +10 synthweaving efficiency and +2 biochem critical

 

EFFICIENCY
- Reduces the time it takes to complete a crew skill task in both crafting and running a crew skill mission. The higher the efficiency, the less time it takes.

 

CRITICAL
- Improves your chances on returning with a rarer item or crafting an item with an augment slot or producing double the quantity of items (mods, grenades etc). The higher the crit rating, the higher the chance occurring.

 

 

  • You should look through your companions traits and see who is best for what, it can save you a lot of time if you choose to send a companion with slicing efficiency on a slicing mission.
  • A list of all companion traits can be found below, along with their name and other useful information.
  • Each gathering and mission skill has a range of mission levels. Depending on which you choose to send your companion on, will determine if you increase a skill level or not.
  • To change your mission difficulty, open up the companion window 'N'. Select the crew skill you want your companion to be deployed on then look at the top right of the panel
  • Select a difficulty range from the drop down menu. The difficulty range will increase as you increase your level.
  • The difficulty ranges as follows, with the highest difficulty on top and the lowest on the bottom. The skill-up chance is also shown after the mission level.

 

ORANGE
- 2 points

YELLOW
- 1 point (sometimes 2)

GREEN
- 1 point

GREY
- None

 

  • You can send up to 5 companions on a crew skill task at the same time at level 49+
  • The 5 you send (or any amount) can all be doing the same crew skill if you wish.

 

Here is a list of the Max Deployable companions relative to your level:

 

[Level 10] -
1

[Level 15] -
2

[Level 25] -
3

[Level 41] -
4

[Level 48] -
5

Can you Confirm/Deny if "Bank" crafting is possible? saw it on another forum.

 

"Bank crafting" means you can store your crafting items on your ship/Bank and personal inventory and the companion crafting will have access to all, so no reason to move items around.

What I'd like to know is why Cybertech is not recommended for force users? It sort of seems like a good fit for any class, due to the earpieces, grenades and all the possible mods, which can be used with any class in the game. What's not to like? I was kind of thinking of getting it for my Jugg tank mostly due to the armor mods, but also because it looks like a lot of fun.

You have a fair point here, modifications are suitable for everyone and I will update the guide to explain, thanks for the feedback ^^

nice guide. i would guess the next section to add is on companions and their efficiency ratings

 

I will look into it, currently I am still awaiting my early game access as well ^^. I will browse for other sources of information!
