Nickious Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 One of my guildies said this dropped from a Nar Shadda heroic. Is this new? This Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries_cz Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Probably. Or your guidie stumbled across something so old and rare nobody ever found it (which is unlikely) Seems interesting, what did it contain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nickious Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 He logged shortly before the question was asked. I'll do my investigation I suppose. BoP are usually a mission reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSitruc Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 either its an old/rare thing or could it possibly be something in preparation for new set up of crafting in KOTFE? hmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aries_cz Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 either its an old/rare thing or could it possibly be something in preparation for new set up of crafting in KOTFE? hmm It is probably something to help people level up crafting skills, because with 12XP, many are forgetting to send out their companions to get materials, or to stop and gather nodes in the world. I don't see how it would be linked to moving of crafting bonuses... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Licmar Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I've got Small Satchel from small chests and Medium Satchel from big chest on Ilum today. In both cases there were no credits in those chests, just satchel and usual random items. I also got "Large" Satchel (at least I think it was called that, I didnt pay attention to it at that time) from big chest on Oricon. Small Satchels contained 1 stack of green quality crafting material. Medium Satchel had 2 stacks of green and 1 stack of blue crafting materials. Large Satchel had 2 stacks of green, 1 stack of blue and 1 stack of Purple crafting materials. Green item stacks contained between 8 and 12 crafting materials, blue was 7 and purple was 2 pieces. Materials were from grade 2 to 11, various crew skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a purple satchel with NO CREDITS. I am thinking they replaced credits with crafting materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licmar Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 was is just the satchel in the chests or were there also credits? On Ilum it was just Satchel and usual random green/blue items and 0 credits. Sadly I didnt pay attention to the big chest on Oricon so i dont know whether credits were gone from this one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They initially tried it with the slot machines, and were happy with the numbers, but the players lost their minds. So now I bet this will be the way to replace that, and not too long in the future the materials market will tank. It's probably a good decision to sell mats now, while prices are high.

Psychopyro Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Actually my guess was this was to stop credit farmers, while at the same time adding something useful to the chests. Since credits don't drop, the only point to getting the chests is the mats now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they just instant sell to a vendor, they will take a big hit compared to what they were getting with just credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillionsKNives Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Suddenly all of the credit farmers start advertising selling stacks of green mats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Licmar Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Adding to my earlier observations, just made a tour of Makeb as well, big chests drop Medium Satchels there. No credits in any of 9 chests opened (both small and big). Quantity of blue crafting materials seems to be between 4 and 7 pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infernixx Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 lol good. This is probably designed to jerk the rug out from underneath the credit sellers and their bots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraxcas Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Anyone see if chests on Makeb are doing this? Because if they are also like this, then it stops a massive amount of credits from being farmed. I am talking 900k per hour. And if this is a way to stop credit farmers, I heartily agree with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they nerfed those chests a couple months back already, so there was no way possible you could get 900k per hour anymore. Someone in this thread already reported those satchels were popping in the place of credits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vradic Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Had this happen to me all day on korriban. Snagged a stack of rank 9 crafting mats. Made some nice credits on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooty Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Did some testing on Ilum. Small chests so far have given one small satchel which has one item (stack of 6-12) various level. Sample size is small but only green mats so far. Large chests so far have given one medium satchel which has three items (stacks of 6-12) various level. Blue and green mats.
