I see people saying they have 50+ of them. They must be getting them from the same type of MOB. Can anyuone share their secret as to which MOBs to go after if your looking to pick up a couple of them?

Any NPC will drop them.

I never saw them until I started shooting Meatlumps outside of Tyrena. Suddenly I had two of them. I never received any from the Chunkers or Swoops. Of course I've only visited two worlds so far, so certainly other NPCs may have them -- I'm just giving my own experiences with enhancements.

I've been doing Imperial missons near Bestine and it seems that one in 5 or so Rebels drops one. I could be way off base, but those were my results. I'd be the more difficult mobs drop them faster.

I've seen them, but how long can you use them? Do they last as long as weapon powerups, or are they different?

Plasma Thiefs (most common around Moenia, Naboo) seem todrop them often.

my first and only skill enhancer(3 unarmed bonus) came from an Implice NPC.

They seem to drop like water off the NPC's around Jabba's palace, mostly Valerian's Thugs. When a enhancment is attched to clothes, or built into armor, it is permanent, as my +3 carbine accuracy boots, and my +2 carbine accuracy while moving gloves will attest.

I think most "human mobs" drop them. I have gotten them off of plasma thieves and the human nomads that guard the crossroad centers near Deeja Peaks. Of course all the ones I have gotten had no use for me, so I just sold them. Still trying to get something I can actually use.

They are permanent attachments to clothes or armor with sockets. Any armor or piece of clothing that has sockets will have a yellow name in your inventory instead of a white one. If you examine it you can see how many sockets it has. Drag a skill-enhancing attachment onto the clothing/armor and it becomes a permanent part of that clothing/armor, and you have to wear it for it to take effect.

I have not seen any armor with sockets, but I have seen clothing with up to 4 sockets. From the posts I've read, no one has seen armor with sockets yet.

Also, if you have an attachment of one type, don't put another of the same type on the same piece of clothing, as the new one will overwrite the old one... for example, I put a Grenade Experimentation +1 attachment on a pair of gloves with 4 sockets, then put a Grenade Experimentation +3 on the same pair of gloves. When I examined the gloves, they had Grenade Experimentation +3 (not +4) and 3 sockets left, so the new one overwrote the old one. So if you have attachments of the same type, put them on different pieces of clothing.

The Tape looking skill enhancer goes on clothes (and backpacks too?) and the bone armor segment goes on armor correct? Perhaps there aren't sockets on armors but armorsmiths can put them in the mix when they craft armor to grant the bonus.

There is a third skill enhancer I saw on swgcenter but I'm not sure what it goes into.

id STILL like to know how to attach the skill enhancements to a backpack. :-/

Marauders on Endor have them about 90% of the time =)
