Thread: Firespray and RE'ing methods... any difference?

Until recently, I always thought that in order to RE a component, you needed one copy of the component per level (i.e. in order to RE a level 2 Kuat Wormblaster, you need two Wormblasters).


Yesterday, a friend corrected me and showed me that in order to RE a level 2 component all I need are any two level two components.


So what I'm wondering is: Has anyone seen any evidence that the method of RE'ing has some offect on the chances to get a schem fragment?


Using method #1, I've gotten 6 fragments in 6 RE sessions. I've only done 1 session so far using method 2 and have not received anything yet (I'll really wonder if I don't get anything in 3 sessions).


So the question is: Do you guys use method #2 and how successful have you been at it?


Thanks,

Method 1 is the first paragraph (i.e. level 2 = 2 of exact same item).


Method 2 is the second paragraph (i.e. level 2 = any 2 level 2 items).


Hehe, the method numbers aren't explicitly written but implied by the order of reference.

Oh come on, are you here to help or to harass?!? lol


Ofcourse they have to be the same type of component. Common sense dictates that a cpacitor would be worthless when trying to reverse engineer engines.

My question to you is - how many parts (on average) do you RE in a single session?

Method 1 is the first paragraph (i.e. level 2 = 2 of exact same item).


Method 2 is the second paragraph (i.e. level 2 = any 2 level 2 items).

I use Method #2 exclusively. Method #1 is too time consuming and provides no better value, in my opinion. I've gotten one full set of Firespray schematics from it and am now working on my second set. How "successful" you are is entirely random, as some days I would get none, some days I would get a couple and on one day I got multiples of the same part. My observation (and it is only an observation) is that the chance appears to be tied to the RE level of the loot item. So there appears to be a random chance that is modified by the level of component that you are using.

I, on average, try to RE about 100-200 parts per session, but have done around 300-400 at a sitting. The amount of RE's you do per session does not appear to have any impact on the percentage chance that you will get the schematic part, as least as far as I have observed.

I generally do 300-400 parts per session.

Thank you very much for your feedback. I'll be switching to #2 now because as you said, it's a lot more efficient - faster to pick parts and a lot fewer unmatched parts left over when I'm done.


I was just concerned about the loot rate, but you seem to be having no trouble so my fears have been removed.

Is the 200 -300 the number of parts before you RE or the number you end up with after you RE?

300-400 is the number of parts I start with. I generally end up with about 1/3 that when I'm done.
