Setholic Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Slicers are complaining that some of their missions yield negative returns now....but treasure hunting for lockboxes has always had a chance to do this. You spend 1000 to send dude out to get a lockbox and it comes back with 800 or less...why are they complaining so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senul Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 And then theres the time were TH comes back with an item i can sell for 10-15k on the gtn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodaOfYoda Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Treasure Hunting has kept me in the black more than Slicing has. I only use Slicing to get Treasure Hunting missions, which are extremely lucrative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconax Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 a) Treasure Hunting boxes make money on 80% of the missions I send my companion on. b) Treasure Hunting actually provides mats for your profession, slicing does not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RvEijndhoven Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Because Lockboxes for Treasure hunting return Equipment (at a loss, if you try to vendor them, admittedly), the money (if any) is a bonus/consolation prize. Slicing Lockboxes however give money and only money unless you crit. Also Treasure Hunting also produces Gifts (or Gift Fragments) and Gemstones. Slicing only produces lockboxes, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakezor Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Duh. Because you actually get items from Treasure Hunting, not just a loss of credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XViper Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Even with the item TH Lockboxes return a loss.Every green item (which is 90%+ of all yields) are simply vendor trash.The blue relics are decent, but still become so frequent\common (as its basically the only non-green you'll get), you don't really get much on the GTN, and it certainly won't cover any losses you've already made up to that point. Other than items, you get Artifice schematics, of which there is an entire 4 types in the game, making them all practically worthless, as there are about as rare as dirt. It seems the only use for Tresure Hunting is for gems. Which is fine... but if you're going to give it multiple purposes, atleast make them all useful/viable.

And before the Legacy vendor started selling them you could also (albeit rarely) get orange belts and bracers (which you can still get). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brutus Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 You can also get Legacy items. Just last night I scored birthright boots off a 340 epic mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
