1. Does it matter for slicing weapons and armour if you have the highest possible % clamps, knives and upgrade kits ??


2. If you have a crate of knives and you slice stuff, it uses a complete 10charge knive up in one go, instead of using 2 charges out of the knive in the crate, anyone else noticed this ?

Thx in advance for some light in the darkness

Hi ppl

Since i made master smuggler i've had 2 questions on my mind and I can't get a straight answer to, from other master smugglers on my server. PPl keep giving me different answers.

1. No, it does not matter.
2. I use crated PLKs and I've never had an entire PLK poof in a single slicing... It's always 1 charge per wire (2 total per item). Any more details on what you're doing when this happens?

This happens to me too. When i dont take the knife out of the crate, as soon as i go to cut a wire, it will poof an entire knife from the crate instead of just one use. If i take the knives out of the crate first then they work fine.

I'm seeing the same bug, and I endorse the last poster's solution.
Leave the crate in your backpack, otherwise the UI treats a 10-charge PLK as a 1-charge device and uses it up 10x as fast.

Lots of myths and urban legends about % of equipment. However having been a master since the third month of release, let me state the following: % has no correlation to outcome. I spent a good two months recording every slice I made, what % the equipment used was, what the equipment I was slicing was, etc. Want to know my results? Data points all over the graphs, with no coherrant meaning. Every statistical analysis I ran on it came up with the same result: nadda. nothing.

One would hope in the revamp smuggler experimentation will come back, AND that %'s play a role in outcomes, cause otherwise we lose a significant meaning in our crafting.

Just put your crate of knives in apack, and pull the knives out from there. This way you won't have to worry about burning through an entire crate without noticing it.
