Droid Engineer Archive

I'm a newly mastered DE on my alt and today I went out and bought some really good quality resources to craft some bomb droids for my BH. When I was crafting the detonation modules, I cannot for the life of me get them to experiment above 88% for detonation power (8). I'm using OQ 967 Inert Gas, OQ 954 Cond 826 Copper, and OQ 930 Tolium Reactive Gas. For skill mods I have +21 to DE experimentation suit, and +24 experimentation food. No matter what I do, or how many amazing successes I get, it simply wont go higher, do I have to have perfect resources to do better?

Edit, forgot to mention, I was using a perfect 15 pt crafting tool, standing in front of a 44.9 crafting station in a research center player city.

I don't make bomb droids (that's droid abuse) but did you have the DE buff? That can help.

From the resources you listed, the 88% looks to bea pretty good result. Best bet would be to try and find some better OQ/CD Copper, the gasses look as close to perfect as can be expected, if you can find better, use them. Detonation power 8 is not bad, I have been able to make det power 9 modules once due to a guildmate providing some great resources. I doubt you (or anyone) will be able to make perfect power 10s without the use of a resource deed, and that would be a waste.

Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can do to get some better copper. And yes, I do agree, a resource deed would be a waste for this.

I actually did use a resource deed for bomb droids, and made more money than I'd have got selling it - of course, it all depends on what the deeds go for on your server, but on FarStar they go for about 3.5 - 4 million.

I use OQ 923 Tolium, OQ 997 Inert Gase and OQ/Cond 951/954 Copper. I get "9.xxxx" for a total R3 value of 58.

Good to know, seems like I just need higher conductivity on my copper.

use Eweodehi(copper) Oopliite(inert) Nonaglaret(tolium)= 10 power

Get a buff and use the foods and you will get it, I did i find this info on a thread here so search a bit and you will find a lot of helpfull info in this forums(which i apreciate a lot am new at DE too)

just tested a 56 detonation droid i madeon a mls/me jedi (no defender). it did 800 dmg is it really worth it???
