Thread: 210k Jedi yesterday is 140k Jedi today?

Yesterday I hunted a Jedi and he was worth 210k. I killed him. Today I hunted the same one, but he was only worth 140k. Does anyone know what's up with this? I'm pretty sure he was 210k yesterday because I record all the Jedi I kill.
He could of had alot of low level boxes for respec
Does this mean that when I killed him when he was worth 210k he lost a good amount of XP, more so than when I killed him for 140k?
If so, that leaves a warmy fuzzy feeling in my heart.
He's using a feature of the respec. He traded two lower-level boxes for one high level box.
I haven't seen the numbers for Jedi, but here's how it worked for me.
I filled two tier-1 boxes for carbineer at 175k apiece, that's 350k xp.
I respec'd them for the master rifle box, that's a MILLION xp.
I saved 650k and wound up with skill points to spare. Because I majored in math in college, it took me about 10 seconds to figure that one out, and use the system to get my master box in less than half the time. Exploit? No. I utilized a feature of the system the Devs put in place.
Your Jedi target obviously did something similar.
That's the way the system is designed.

At least you admit to exploiting - jeez, people don't even hide it anymore, how sad has this game gotten?

He's using the respec process within the parameters set by the devs....the same way most people on this forum got BH.....sigh.
Fixed.
sad thing is, he's more powerful now at 140k than he was at 200k+. Give him another day or two and he'll hand you a beating.

Everything you people don't like is an exploit. It's probably an exploit every time I throw my saber at some BH.

Well, the flaw in all the respec assumptions is that a 210k bounty has all his skill points except for 16 tied up in Jedi. The only way to bring the bounty down to 140k is to respec 70 jedi sp to non-jedi skills. My guess would be that he decided to be a MBH..

No, the flaw is your inability to do math. The lower tier boxes have the highest SP cost. 8 for novice, and 8 for tier one. With 5 novice boxes that's 40k, then look at the fact that there is 4 tier 1 boxes in 5 professions, so that's 32k per profession, so that's 160k. Add that 160k to the 40k and you have 200k padawn who has nothing but all tier 1 boxes. He respec's up the trees, 6 skill points for tier 2, 4 SP for tier 3, 2 SP for tier 4 and 1 SP for master. The jedi's bounty is 1k per skill point they have in Jedi skills. 4 tier 1 boxes cost 12 more skill points than a single tree up to tier 4.
Ok..so assuming he had and dropped all the novices and all the tier 1, that would give him 44 respec points to use for the respec; going up the towers each require 14 respec points to tier 4. So he could get 3 towersand 1 tier 1 box using all theavailable respec points.That would give him a bounty of 70K.That is the most extreme case of course and there are various permutations inbetweenbut I think he justdecided to be a MBH...or a tailor....just never know
As far as the flaws go...biggest flaw is in the beer delivery schedule...cheers!
