Is it possible to experiment on crafting kits?

What tool/Skills/Station would I need to have?

Weapon Droid and General crafting kit, and be near a public or private crafting station of the same type to use experimentation on kit creation.

You can experiement on crafting tools (be sure you are using a Weapon, Droid and Generic Item Crafing Tool - a Generic Crafting Tool doesn't allow you to experiment I don't believe).

With the right resources, a master artisan make crafting tools up to around +14 functionality - maybe higher.

However, all that said, I am not entirely sure what the functionality rating on the crafting tools affects. Some people say it reduces the number of critical failures, others say it gives you an experiementation bonus. A few folks have experiemented and found that any benefit, if any exists at all, is subtle to the point of not being conclusively noticeable.

But why take chances? It's a good idea to always use the best available crafting tool.

Conductivity. Although you will never get your LS crafting kit as good as the best Weapon/General Crafting tools. Best I've gotten my LS crafting tool is -4 or something using copper with Conductivity of 992 and you can buy a +14.8 Weap./General Crafting tool on the bazaar.

i got mine to 6 or so, but then when I played with the experimentation it was -4.

so not sure how that all worked
