Hello,
I have mastered ace 2x and have RE a few things, but nothing high end.
Here is where perhaps I am the biggest noob ace ever met... /gulp.
I thought to RE something, you needed to have 8 identical items, 8 of exactly the same kind of item in order to RE a level 8 item.
Now, I am reading some and it almost sounds like I have been wrong all this time, that you only need 8 level 8 parts to RE something, they don't have to match, just the RE level does?
Is this true? Am I uber noob ace or did I just misunderstand the conversation I read and you do have to have 8 same brand/level matching parts....
Example, I thought you would need say 8 "High output Kessel scorcher blaster" level 8 RE level 8 to make one RE'd "High output Kessel scorcher blaster".
Or, can I use 1 of those guns, 2 of another and 3 of some other and 2 of a final type to make one RE'd gun?

I believe that in Beta the items in question had to be exactly the same. That caused much confusion upon release.

that is correct, in beta it actually required the same name as well. However in live you need only two things to be the same, the level, and the type(if your re'ing a weapon, the other components must be weapons of the same level, though one could be an ion cannon while the other could be a blaster).

I played beta... and this is why I thought this /hangsheadinshameatnooooobness.
OK, with that said, I am both very mad at all the cool stuff I could have made by now. And, excited and wanting to find much loot now /lol.
I know its late to praise this change, but very glad it happened, still feeling peeved though at all the time lost /lol
Oh yeah, thanks for the kind replies, hehe, appreciated!

Got a guide written up if you've got anything more you'd like to know about the process.

You're not alone. The other night, I had 2 lvl2 boosters I wanted to have RE'd together. Went to my SW. I gave them to him to RE on the spot. Well, one of them was bugged such that it said it was lvl2 but had no RE levels. I had looted it but it appeared preRE'd. He also told me they had to be the identical make and model to RE. I never heard that before. OF all the loot I managed to get while relevelling pilot, I never got 2 identical makes and models. I had many of the same brand, but not exactly the same.
I'll have to email him a correction and tell him he's been wasting time populating his storage vendors.
