In the Loot Pass #1 (In Development board) there is a link titled These items are what players can expect on the first pass of loot game changes ( http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/content.jsp?page=Loot%20Revamp%20-%20Pass%201 )

that mentions the possibility of higher level creature harvesters being able to extract things could enhance spices or foods.

Honestly folks, I think all the recent posts by the Devs are telling us why the revamp is pushed. They're trying to address everyone at once, and in the process have downgraded our revamp. I'm not saying that we won't get any specific attention, yet, I'm saying that they're trying to add all these changes before they hit us. (As a note, I don't think the mentioned changes will effect the dead spice market one bit.)

This may also be why they think they can group us with other professions in one publish. If there were only 2 trees that remained to be addressed (Slicing and Underworld) because the CU had already addressed Dirty Fighting, and the loot revamp (in their opinion) addressed the spices, they wouldn't have as much to put out at that time.

Sadly, there is one telling fact that I see in it. We're still going to be crafting spice. Whether or not there is some "looted" or "skimmed from a smuggler mission" addition such as glitterstim could still be open, but I'm not sure they've taken into account all the proposals for the smuggler revamp with regards to spice and what they plan to do with the loot revamp.

"Jedi claims of being "broken" are like saying "But my TV isn't widescreen! It's broken! My TV can't show high-def pictures in 1080i, it can only do 720i! It's broken!" Meanwhile, crafters are saying "We'd really like to have a TV that's larger than 12" and gets more than 4 channels and doesn't constantly lose vertical control", and entertainers are saying "Can we get some color instead of this B&W piece of junk?" And smugglers? We're listening to radio programs of "The Shadow" and "The Abbot and Costello Comedy Hour" and hearing FDR's Fireside Chats. We don't even HAVE a damn TV, much less a broken one or a "broken" one by Jedi standards. I'd LOVE to be as "broken" as they are." - The Legendary Solo4114

When I read it, I noticed that they mentioned the loot item increasing the downtime associated with the spice, but they didn't seem to mention the upside. I think that means that they haven't pinned down exactly what they want to do with spices.

Buffs and foods will be affected by the loot upgrade, and they've specifically been mentioned as part of the combat upgrade as well. However, nothing was said about spices. I don't know if that's an oversight or not, but it's likely that spices will be at least partially revamped prior to the actual class revamp.
