Thread: Question about the 100% Repair Tools

100% efficincy tools can't be made anymore, even with 1000 stat ressource. Max efficiency is now 99.99999%
And yes, repair is very random, even with those good tools.Lost 3 new armor parts, fully socketed, on their first repair, 3 critical fails in a row.

Repair is so broken that the difference between a 10% tool and a 100% tool would be impossible to see.
Functionality, skill mods, none of it effects the repair roll,
the only thing shown to impove it is the overall condition of the item
{repairing at 75% of full condition as oppossed to 25%}
Very true, but a 100% tool will bring you several thousand more credits than 99% ones. When I had 100%'s, I stocked a vendor with them for 10k each, keeping my 99% ones at 6k each. I sold every one of the 100%'s before the 99%'s went. It's amazing what people will pay for such a minor improvement.
That's because I think people assume that 100% tool is going to be 100 fail safe.. what they don't realize is that whether your tool is 90, 99, or even 80... the rolls are random.. I don't think the better tool gives you any better chance of repairing. I have 99.7 tools.. and a lot of the time I have customers ask me if I have 100's and I say no, butI have 99.7 and they go oh thanks anyways, I want 100's... is that .3 % really really going to make a difference? In my opinion.. no I don't think it does.. but most people seem to think it does.
and most were under the belief you need the Master of the craft with high func tools to repair the item,
all are rather pleased to know they have exact same chances of a great or even a failed repair roll as anyone else.
