Jedi_Knight_Jess Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Lots of people say to take biochem, but I have toons that either just gather, took biochem, or cybertech I was torn by either artifice or synth, but with adaptable gear....is synth worth it?

Mmurph Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 You'll be able to make augment kits and STR/WILL augments (and a couple others I can't remember), so maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psandak Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Check out my guide: http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?t=726927 The short of it is that Inquisitors have the best artifice bonus available (+15 efficiency; there is no class with +crit to artifice). As stated synthweaving is good for augments (Strength, Willpower, Defense Rating, Alacrity, and Presence) and augment slot kits, but "with adaptive gear" the gear crafting ability of synthweaving is not as desirable.

I make money exclusively by crafting Battlemaster Stalker/Survivor gear. Granted it doesn't go so fast because only 1 character crafts (and gathers materials) it so it goes slow, but it is very good money though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had them prior to 2.0 you got to keep them, but there is no way to get them now. And this is probably the reason you make good money on them: few players have the schematics so supply is low and with a moderate demand value is high.

nightsproull Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 As a sorc with 450 synthweaving, I can say that I regret wasting my time with it. 450 biochem to use reusable stims/medpacks/adrenals would be better. I've always hated crafting though, in every MMO I've played. I always find it to be a lot of work for little reward. SWTOR doesn't disappoint, in that regard.

Hoshkar Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Synthweave + a maximum affection ship droid +5% critical chance item = double MK-9 augments A LOT! I love it myself Every craft can make good credits, you just need to find the right niche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
