Thanks for using SwtorSpy!
Thx for the datase guys. I played with different character types in beta, but for me the Jedi Sentinel is the choosen one. Seems like my companions have work a lot… Archeology fits then well with Artifice, but any idea, or suggestion, what is the best for these two? Treasure hunting, or underground trading?
Its going to depend on what you want to do with artifice.
For example synthweaving has 3 trees
heavy
medium
light
Each tree requires a different mission skill to craft the blues
In order to craft heavy blues.. you need metals from underworld trading
Mediums and lights require either diplomacy or investion.
So Im not sure how this carries over into the other crafting skills, but Im pretty sure that each tree under them requires a different mission skill to craft the blues.
Thank you for the fast reply. At least here is a game, and I find myself always thinking, planning on it. So I think this trought too, and since I want to craft blues of course, you went more deeper in crafting, than me, so diplomacy or investigaton will be the choice….
For the tables on all the crafting skills pages, what is high, medium and low?
