You can still link crafted items, but not if they are modifiable. It's a feature added to remedy the problem of the stats of crafted gear showing as negative in comparative tooltips. I think.

Try the neutral Hutt AH in Nar Shaddaa. A lot of the schematics are class-specific, but you can get mission rewards for the other faction's gear. Folks sometimes try to unload them through the Hutts.

That's about the size of it. If you are an end-game player, or even a completionist needing to get every purple recipe, crafting professions, except BioChem offer little. For the mid-game and gearing alts, crafting is okay. For making money, there are opportunities created by the game, and you can take advantage of them. However, pure gathering will always be more profitable than crafting, as it is impossible to dominate the market for any crafted item at the moment. If you make too big a profit on an item, another dozen crafters with banks full of idle materials will come along and undercut you.

Armstech is currently the worst profession for making money. That may change, but it won't be in the next few weeks. I won't recommend that you drop it after getting it to 400, but I wouldn't spend more money on it, either. If you don't have enough money to buy skills stop crafting stuff that you can't make money with.

If you are Republic: The Face Merchants daily instance is full of droids that can be scavenged for aluminum/lamenoid. Enter story zone, harvest, reset phase, repeat.

Please provide details. Class, level, normal health, ending health, buffs, stuff like that. If you want any chance of getting attention, server and character names, too.

RE not working as intended does not mean that it was nerfed in a recent patch.

Oh sure, get all "mature" won't you?

The dev post about this has been quoted several times. Affection has been confirmed to influence speed and crit rate. Nothing about completion rate.

The change didn't bother me, nor did it impress me. I would have preferred something in the floating combat text. My preference is to be able to keep my eyes on the action rather than my action bars.

Roll an Imp and roll a Rebel. Get to level 10, go to Fleet. Count players. Repeat during off-hours and prime-time. Return to thread and report.

I know! And I don't understand why they don't just import more oil from the moon if we have to deal with terrorists to get it here. Things would be so much better if only people like us were listened to more.

Kind of what I was thinking. It's not like hotbars are the only thing that ever flashes in this game.

You got the crystal for pre-ordering any edition of the game.
