Has anyone gotten anly loot that directly helps our profession?


I have gotten nothing but crytals, slicing components, and foraged bugs... Where are the +10 and higher ranged speed and accuracy SEA's or how about some +25 def vs KD... I would like to get some loot that directly helps me as a BH... And yeah we have new loot but the darn markets are flooded with it now so the price has dropped...


has anyone gotten any really good SEA that help a BH?

Out of about 30 NPC missions, I haven't looted anything that directly helps me as a BH(Not counting BH armor schematics. Because let's face it, BH armor sucks). I have, however, looted a couple damage crystals. Oh, and some bugs.
Bugs are worth a lot on the market nowadays,I hear.





No need to reply to your other post, the other BHs said what I would of said. But I want to point out something to you.

You said right here that BH armor sucks, BUT it can be made with the exact stats as ANY other armor of that type. This is just another example of you not really knowing what you are talking about.

You seen 20 new BHs? Well how do you know that they have not just been on a break for 3 months? Or maybe play at different times? Or you just didn't see them.

You sit here and talk about the "long term" and I am greedy yet you complain cause you did not get the loot you wanted, yet I have said nothing but good things about this loot because I know ANY loot is better than no loot. You can't possibly know more about the long term effects of this loot than myself for the simple fact that I have been here and seen the long term flows of loot and the game economy while you have just seen the last 3 months and nothing has really changed in the last three months with loot other than this.

stop being greedy. You just look at the now and not the future. Melee defense is not really even that important.

Hmm...what resist do we need most when jedi hunting? Energy. What kind of bonus does Assault armor have? Kinetic.


You're right, it can be made with the exact same stats as any other armor of that type, but if you're running around in assault armor hunting jedi...well....I think that proves which one of us doesn't know what they're talking about....

I suppose it *could* be attributed to coincidence, but how likely does that sound? Honestly, I think you're just being contrary for the hell of it .

I complained because I didn't get any loot that was directed toward helping out my *profession*. If one person did 30+ missions and didn't get any good loot for BH, it kinda makes me wonder if they're dropping any BH specific loot. If they aren't the loot drops need to be looked at, bud.


Bottom line. If BH missions aren't dropping loot to help BH, something is wrong.
If BH missions are dropping things that are valuable due to their rarity in high quantities, what does that do to their value?

I don't know, go ask the guy that just made 70 mil in two days he should be able to answer that.


Oh I looted some blaster handler enhancements btw, stats:

+185 damage, -.75 speed, -7 sac

In case you dont know these are used like krayt tissue is. Now tell me, would this help make a BH a REALLY nice gun? Yea I think so.


Also I hunt jedi in clone armor and am very effective in that. I also did a fair share of hunting without armor on post CU. The truth is compared to pre CU levels 5500 protection and 7500 protection is not that large of a difference when you talk about percents.

The debate over growing and diminishing BH population is getting tireing. In the early days of the game (around the first 2-3 months) when people starting mastering elite professions BH was the PvP fotw. They got the nerf bat and another profession became more powerful, so everyone flocked to it. The true BH (no i am not one) are the ones that have been aroundsince the beggining and stuck it out through all the crap they got. I myself have only been a BH for about a year now, I find that those who truley enjoy this profession and arn't out just to make a few credits will perserver in the long run. Thats just my opinion though.

We'll see, bro.


For now, though, I'm going to sell every piece of loot I get.

I too got a Ranged ACC+ tape. If that don't help me, I don't know what does. Not to mention my Trando sliced, and a ton more loot which can get my other weapons sliced. Guess what it costed me?

Swoop (It was disabled) - 15k

Crate of Arakyt Droid - 10k (somewhere around here may be cheaper or more)

Crate of Seeker Droid - 5k

Ticket - 400


When I could have bought the tape for 20m... ICB for 1m.. and had been in debt by far.

About spot on, you get it.


People said everyone is gonna dable/flock to BH when they took out Mscout as pre-req. People said the same when MM was taken out as a pre-req. People said the same as the CU hit and BH wad finially one of the better rounded ranged professions. People said it when ranged professions could finially hold thier own against jedi.People are saying it now again, over the loot. See a patern?


rob0t - I'm sorry but with 3 months playing, it is hard to judge the big picture. Fact is anything, life, jobs, and video games, unless you know the past, it is hard to see where you are going to end up. This is called experience, and in swg terms, you just dont have alot. Yes some gather it quicker then others, but out of the life of SWG you have seen such a small part of it, you are IMO (which btw I used to qualify my statement before) not in a position to file a complaint of this type. And you are about to get updated about how armor crafting works ...... stay tuned and be prepaired to learn something about armor smith crafting.

Mmmm lets see.....

I have looted enough to get my entire set of Jedi hunting gear - 75% AB sliced, to slice all my guns to any combo of custimazation I want, whether it be max speed, max damage, max crit. AND it did not cost me 5m+ in components from vendors to do it.

If you honestly feel 'cheated', you are very glass is half empty minded - which we have plenty of on the forums as it is.






I agree the new missions & loot are the most fun i've had in a long time, you just can't please everyone I guess......
