You can only have a Level 4 speed slice with 100% customisation, you can only have a Level 2 Speed slice with 40% customisation. As such it's ineffective to have a table showing the customisation on that particular level.
Also there is already a loot table in the FAQ part...

Still think it's more sensible to do it the other way,because people who are buying slices (who in all hope will be reading this faq too) might only get one level at a time and want to know how much customisation the next slice will add to their total.but hey... noone ever listens to me.

To be fair, that loot "table" is a mess.and doesnt really say much aside from what people have seen the components looted from, Im more concerned with finding the underlying system. You even said yourself you "can't specify" - thats what I'm TRYING to do.

If you notice FROM the eye witness reports in your FAQ and other posts in this thread, the level of the loot is coinciding with the combat level of the mob its dropped with, and with the rarity in salvage, It's important for us to work out if its just specific mobs or specific combat levels dropping these things, as it has implications regarding loot camping, for example.

Thanks for that, added those to the bottom with a disclaimer, also added the caps next to damage and speed comments

It may be important to ad a disclaimer that Crits are currently bugged. As confirmed elsewhere on this forum, a weapon with a crit slice will recieve the critical damage message from time to time, but the target does *not* recieve the critical damage bonus. It was mentioned that the damage bonus neither appears in the combat spam, nor does it appear on examination of the change to the target's health bar.

BH's critical strike (?) special suffers from the same bug, dealing the same damage in a shot that triggers the "critical damage" message as a shot that does not. This being the case, it is likely the crit damage calculation itself is not working, and the bug does not lie in the actual slice itself, as evidenced by the appearence of the crit damage message being generated by using the crit-sliced weapon. Hopefully the devs will address this bug sooner now that it directly effects 2 seperate professions...


*Drools at the thought of getting a crit while using Last Ditch... shudders at the potential reaction from Jedi*

*Wonders how a weapon crit will stack ontop of a BH crit strike crit... shudders at the potential reaction from Jedi*

when i watch the numbers that float above the target's head I see more damage when I land a critical shot. I'm a BH though.

Hrm... perhaps its fixed? The person I got the data from might be bugged. Are you speaking of the additional damage generated by the BH Critical special every time, or of the double damage (or whatever the multiplier) dealt when using the BH Critical special **and** getting a critical hit?

I stand corrected! The 25% increase is applying for the BH Critical special, as of 6/19/05, as stated HERE.

Perhaps its just broken on our sliced weapons then? Damn that would be unfortunate...

Thanks to all of you, just updated the faq now

FYI:

I spent several hours at the Geo Caves last night. killed all mobs, no smuggler loot. I'm not referring to the ellusive Level 4 slicing components, just ANY slicing components. Im guessing that they are more likely to be looted off of random mobs such as thugs/stormies/rebels etc, rather than POI or dungeons/quests

Crafters are dying out. Just look at the trade forums. No one is going for resources only loot. That whole part of the game went away with the CU. Therefore is has to come from loot. I will not be long before you get to loot houses and such from dragons. LOL.

I have been searching for hours on this one question tumbling around in my head and didn't find an answer (or just overread it):

- What about slicing Faction-Bases (GCW): Do we still need Precision-Laser-Knifes and Molecular-Clamps to slice the Security-Terminal (i hope so) ?

^^ If thats the way, that would solve the question "Why is there no Salvage-Option on my Knifes and Clamps" => Because they can still be used to slice Base-Terminals...

Anyone has an answer on this ?
