I went looking around some vendors on Sunrunner and skill tape prices were outrageous for stuff like basket weaving +1 they wanted 20k credits.


What drops accuracy tapes? Do they drop from a mob?


Where can I find the skill tapes that I would need to boost up my Pikeman skills?


How much should I expect to pay? I know prices differ from server to server, BUT with the character copy comin to town with publish 9, if things don't work out with the Pikeman guild on Test Center, I'd like to go to a server that doesn't charge outrageous prices for stuff.


Unless skill tapes are just unusually hard to come by. In which case, I realize why a tape that gives + 0.5 to underwater basket weaving would cost so much.


Why are there so many useless skill tapes? I saw stuff I know no one would ever use, let alone buy.


Oh yeah one more question...


Do you have to get clothes made and get whoever makes the clothes to use the skill tapes in the crafting in order to get the mods?


Or, can you drag and drop skill tapes into clothes you all ready have on that have empty slots?

The +9 or less tapes drop in various cave POIs. One in particular seems to drop good tapes for the effort involved in getting them but be prepared for lame campers who just stand on the treasure spots spam looting them.


The very good tapes drop from high end mobs like Lord Nyax and Nightsisters (NS drops are rare tho, they have lots of stuff on their loot tables, and it seems tapes are a pretty low %).


There are tons of different skills that you can get tapes for. Many are left from beta and dont actually do anything. Therefore good ones (acc/speed/experimentation) tend to sell for a lot.


You just drag and drop them onto clothes/armour with slots. Once you have put a tape in a slot you can never get it back.


Read this thread for a guide to stacking tapes and multi-mod tapes. Tho there seems to be some randomness involved, this thread gives a decent guideline.

i pay about 1.8mil for polearm acc +10 tapes. However This is not the trade forum and i cant know what prices are on your server. So to get a good answer, post on your own trade forum. However you can excpect to pay somewhere between 2-5mil to get +25 acc

Geez man. That is truely insane. Is there anyway to find out what drops polearm accuracy skill tapes?


The most amount of credits I've ever had in this game is 100k with my TKA on kettemoor.


This is definitely bad news.

I've found a fair number of decent attachments from Aa'kuan champions on Talus (you can get missions for them fairly easily if grouped). Nothing fantastic, usually between +4 and +8, but that's higher than I could afford to buy anyway.

The type of mod seems to be pretty random, I'm not aware of anything that specifically drops accuracy tapes.
