I became an armorsmith after the ubese shirt/bando nerf. Because of this I've shopped around a bit at stores offering "prenerf" ubese shirts/bandos. What i've discovered is that most of these so called "prenerf" items that armorsmiths are selling take CAs, not AAs. Is it just me or is this false advertising? I remember using AAs in both of those before, and it seems to me that people like me are buying these under false pretenses. Or is the nerf retroactive, and the only difference between old and new ubese shirts/bando is whether they are conditionless...

yup that's correct, I have a couple crates of "prenerf" Ubese shirts in one of my factories just sitting around, they are really quite worthless, think I might be able to get 500 credits for each on my vendor, hehe. They take CA's, I even tested it. Not AA's

i'm wit these guys...why would taking CAs and not AAs make it less valuable?... a +25 CA.... would you rather have it in a shirt with 1000/1000 or a shirt which takes no decay
and if you really need AAs theres always mabari belts which arent nerfed

Huh.. maybe I should throw up some bandos on my vendor then. I think I have a few hundred lying around, if I didn't delete them.

I got lots of crates with these
If they no only take CA's, they should be clothing as well.
With no Condition on them, they should be extremly valuable to Jedi.Will test and see if I can use one on my jedi today.

sorry to tell that but they arent valuable...the only thing you have to do is take the crappiest clothing repair tool and repair your clothes and hope your clothes drop to 1/1 condition(meaning a failure). once your clothes are at that condition they cant decay any further. trust me im master tailor
thats also the main prob what tailors are complaining about. once you have nice clothes you dont need to buy any becasue they cant become useless like armor or unwearable.

you can't use them and saber, they are considered armor.

Thats cool! I wonder if ubese bandos are armor or not. I think as a jedi I tried mabari belt and it didn't work, but now I should probably try them all again to see.

actually they are considered shirts now, i equiped one, just for s/g, and it allowed me to wear, and still use specials, on jedi toon. Thought it was borked, but learned just a shirt with no decay..
