Can somebody please post a list of known NPCs, quests or POIs that give out great skill tapes. And does anyone know the spawn rate of the loot in the Borgle Caves on Rori?

No quests give out skill tapes to my knowledge. Try higher level factional NPCs nightsisters ext for good skilltapes however the best place to get them is looting in the corvette. You can find up to +20 skill tapes in there.



My sig is of little use now due to the fact that I have quit.

Mostly any high level NPC can. The borgle caves were nerfed a while back. They no longer drop the insane attachments. It wasn't scaled correctly to the difficulty of the cave.

Drag it into a piece of clothing that has open slots (you can tell if it has open slots by examining the clothing) and put the clothing on. You should be able to see the mod on your skill window (Ctrl-s)

Throw a +6 or higher rifle accuracy tape into the piece of clothing, and then put the tape in. Should stick.

Can someone tell me exactly how skill tapes work and the rules about using them (caps, multiple tapes on 1 item etc)? I've searched the forums but haven't found any definitive post which is up to date.


I'm going to be keeping my eyes open for some useful skill tapes in the trade forum, but have seen lots of people argue over how they work when you have more than one on an item of clothing or armour, or a tape which has more than one modifier. How does it work in these situations?



Secondly I've seen people mention that unless you have +10 of something (single tape or combined total) then it won't do anything, as +10 gives you +1 point, and you can have a maximum of an extra 2 points (+20), but to be honest I'm not sure if that applies to all tapes or just experimentation or what.



Final question is, what are the best items to attach clothing attachments to? Backpacks and ubese shirts I know of, but anything else (ie things that don't degrade)?



So basically any info on tapes appreciated, as I've heard so many conflicting pieces of info I'm confused as hell. Cheers in advance

Ok, so I don't want to have to resort to the lameness that is the borgle cave, but really, the game isn't giving meany other choice, I've killed Nightsisters till I'm blue in the face, eliminated Nyax half a dozen times, slaughtered any and all other NPCs I've seen and have looted maybe 3 armour attachments, one of which was for a skill mod that's no longer in the game and another is for a skillmod that BEs can make +25 tapes for anyway.


Save me from the Borgle cave, can anyone give me something I can HUNT for the damned things ?


Thanks
