1. Twelve point mastery only benefits items with multiple lines of experimentation. So the only component that benefits from it is the ABEC. Final products, such as Stims or Buff packs benefit from you being able to either add charges or reduce med use requirements.


2. At least to my knowledge, you can't change out your clothing mid-process.

Hi all!

This is my first time posting to the Doc forums but plan to be around here often now and hope to contribute in some small way.

Yesterday, I started crafting. I enjoyed seeing the new interface enhancements as well as the two bonus experimentation points. One of the things I am making a few factory runs of are the standard (non advanced) Chemical Release Duration Mechanisms. I also have a few left over crates of these from my early 10pt days. By comparing the old (10pt) to the new (12pt), I was surprised to see that my old 10pt CRDM’s were better than the 12pt.

First thing that comes to mind for this is, the quality of the resources of course. However, I may not remember the exact resource I used a year or so ago on the old batch but I do know that they would fall into the same range as what I am using now. I am a stickler for what I use as I am sure many of us are. What I did notice though, is that I got very few amazing results as compared to what I remember getting the last time I was crafting. So, my guess is that is the reason. Even though I was only at 10pts in the past, the number of amazings I was getting allowed me to make better than a 12ptr that did not get as many.

It's your resources. The extra 2 experimentation points won't do anything for you when crafting CRDMs, and neither would getting more amazing successes. There is a hard max to the stats (in this case power) that you can hit with your resources. 10 points with great successes will hit the max for one line. You must have used better resources in the old batch.

Is this something that others have seen as well that have had that long of crafting experience? From what I have read in guild chat over the past many months would indicate this is not just a Doc crafting thing but is represented in all crafting fields. I am not complaining, just looking for an answer. Maybe there is something I am overlooking that someone here could help me out with.

What I wrote above applies to all crafting.

One more question. My 12pts comes from the Doc apron as well as a +15 tape in another article of clothing. My +13 assembly mod is on a cloak. So, I cannot wear both the apron and cloak at the same time. Understandable as they take the same clothing slot. I have found though, that I cannot switch between the cloak and apron during the crafting process and have the extra points be added in.

Example….I start to craft wearing the cloak for the assembly bonus. After assembly is complete, I switch to the apron so I can have the full 12pt experimentation bonus. However, this does not work. When I go to experiment, it only shows the base 10pts. Again, no real complaint. It just means I need to find +5 more in tapes so I can drop the apron altogether. I am just wondering if this issue has been brought up and if it may be something the devs are looking at.

You should have had 11 points because of your +15. I wouldn't expect to see this change.

First of all, Obata ... the apron alreadyhas +5 med exp.on it, in addition to the clothing he's wearing with the +15 med exp... thus givinghim+20 med exp. or making him a 12 pt. doc.
