I used to sell augments but haven't played since 2015. I know all the information must be out there somewhere, but after tons of searching and even looking on the GTN I'm still confused about which augments are the current highest tier.

 

I think some are just craftable off the crew skill vendor but others require raiding to craft? Or can you buy the patterns from raiders?

 

In any case, I can't find what the actual number is of the highest tier so any help is appreciated, thanks!

240 augments. Schematics from Nathema stuff tho might find peeps selling them on gun

Craftable for "ordinary" materials, they go up to 228-purple, which are learned by RE-ing 220-blue which is learned from the crafting trainer.

 

236-yellow are learned from schematics that drop in the Umbara flashpoint (?might be the Copero/Chiss one?), and cost relatively small amounts of exotic materials (Charged Matter Transubstantiators and Encrypted Memory Cores).

 

240-yellow are learned from schematics that drop in the Nathema flashpoint, and cost about twice to make as much of the CMTs and EMCs for a very small increment of stats. (Translation: it might not be worth the effort.)

 

Be aware that the pattern of which craft makes which augment is different for up-to-228 and 236/240.

 

CMTs and EMCs drop from all tiers of Command Crates on a low-ish chance. One of them (CMTs, I think) drops from bosses in Master Mode FPs and some modes of operations. The other (EMCs?) drops in ranked Warzones, win or lose, which is the origin of some of the complaints about ranked PvP at the moment.

 

Neither CMTs nor EMCs, nor the 236+ augments, are bound in any way, and all can be found on the GTN, even if the prices are a bit scary.

You forgot to add that CMTs are rewards (1 guaranteed) for large and medium yield invasions of conquest. If the guild meets the goal and player completes personal goal. Edited January 25, 2019 by Vercundus

Fair point, which probably explains why I seem to get EMCs more often from crates than I get CMTs from crates.

Question, are the 240 schematics BOP or can I get them and give them to my alt that has that particular craft. Also, do you have to run master difficulty or can you get them on veteran?

They are bind-on-use, so are fully tradeable. You will be able to find some schematics for sale on the GTN.

 

The schematics drop from all difficulties of Nathema, including story (solo) mode.
