Man - i TOTALLY found the sequence - but you have to be a scout and able to mask scent - because it involves milking Wookiees! You'll need about 100 units of it (so wear some strong kinetic armour - because they hate being milked) - tak itto a Master Chef andthey can create a beverage that will COMPLETELY boost your slicing ability!


If you can't find Wookiees then you could settle for Ewoks - but it's only 1/3 effective!


Good Luck!

While you are absolutely correct I do have something to add... Once *JUST ONCE* I was able to buy higher than 500..

It was a Dark and Laggy Night, some big patch had just hit the server, I had never seen such lag before. Nonetheless, my customer needed thier Field HQ, so I sat Drowsily Buying - Delegating - Buying - Delegating, manually since the Macro is much to fickle to be of use in a lagstorm. Normally I buy in sets of 3 before I delegate, since that puts me closest to the limit, when it happened!


In my Weariness I lost track and bought a 4th and even a 5th time, and the transaction follwed through. Now, this is not the 1st time I had ever lost track, but never had the extras succeeded before. Befuddled and confused I Checked my FP balance to show that I now had over 700. Thinking they may have raised the cap I tried again, but this time only to recieve the familair message "You have done enough".


Now alert to new possibilities I delegated my Balance and tried again.. slowly, but now all was the same as it always had been. Alas, I said, I should take less Gabaki when doing this.



Hope you like the story.. In hindsight I recognize that in the intense lag it was taking the server a very long time to update my balance, so I could buy as many times asI could in a short time, and as long as the dialogue finsihed before my balance updated, it would give me the FP. I've never been in such lag before, or again. and I did /report at the time, though if someonewanted to try to exploit this, I fear for them because the Lag will drive them MAD!








lag is a beautiful thing sometimes. I managed to overload my inventory to 100 items when getting stacks of 100k resources set into 10k resources to sell on my vendor. That was some stress full work on cupboard and mouse But saved alot of time
