Wish they would give a little more detail about what each one does. Nice that they officialy released the info even tho it was released by a magazine a while back. Info is info i guess.
Yeah it’s nice to see them officially announced but some more in-depth description or at least gathering skill dependency for each crafting skill.
But yeah :D a welcome update.
Holy ninja update! Awesome stuff here. It’s going to be hard to narrow those options down to just 3…
its nice that its official!
We have all rean across references to the lists but now we can start chatting about specific questions, etc without worrying about a last minute change.
Pure speculation follows:
So i would guess gathering to support crafting as:
Archaeology >> Artifice
Bioanalysis >> Biochem
Scavenging >> Armormech and Armstech (maybe Synthweaving)
Slicing >> Cybertech
It kind of makes sense that Scavenging would support all three of those, as it seems like it will be used to gather pieces of metal and similar materials. Those materials can be used in blasters or heavy armor. I’m not sure about synthweaving though. It could be like in WoW where there’s no gathering system for Tailoring and it’s built on drops — but that can be problematic. Since we’re limited to one crafting skill, it might work just as well to tie it to Scavenging as well. Though that would make scavenging a VERY lucrative skill, since half of all crafting skills would use it.
Good comments Raz,
I am always worried when one gathering supports more than one profession, as it creates more competition for certain nodes. This might not be as much as a problem, because it does look like its a mix of found nodes and nodes created by killing. The sad point is Bio-Analysis is also the same way and its only leveraged by one crafting channel.
So lets hope we don’t have node issues with farmers right out of the gate.
Hey guys, thanks for the nod :)
I am so happy they went with this list of skills, and I am very glad they finally made it public so we could talk about it. Got the list from one of those leak sites like 2 months ago but was afraid to say anything on our site about it until it was “official”
!sweet
so what do you think about Slicing and the receiving of schematics …. will they be ones only you can use, will they all be BOE, BOA, etc?
on the official companion skills page i saw a picture of the level each one was in and in it it had one from crafting one from gathering and one from mission skills and i was wondering if maby you can choose two crafting and one gathering????
or if you need a certain gathering skill for a crafting skill or do you just have random materials you can use
