hi all,
i have a question about prefences etc with regards to a weapon experimentation/assembly suit. this is what i currenly have:
Twi'lek Hat: +16 Weapon Assembly, +5 Weapon Experimentation
Revealing Top: +10 Weapon Experimentation
Toolset: +3 Weaon Experimentation, +5 Weapon Assembly
Hotpants: +4 Weapon Assembly, +2 Weapon Experimentation
This suit when worn, totals: +25 Weapon Assembly, +20 Weapon Experimentation.
I have run into a dilema. I looted a +11 clothing experimentation (YAY ME) +8 weapon experimentation bandolier. By substituting the toolset out, i would end up with +25 Weapon Experimentation, but my assembly would drop to +20. so what is better, or is there really no "better"
+25 Assembly +20 experimentation
+20 Assembly +25 experimentation

20 is cap giving you 2 full points Z...the extra +5 is just the total cap (no extra points in experimentation)
+25 Assembly +20 experimentation would be my choice

What does Weapon Assembly actually help with ? I thought it raised the highest value of schematic you could use .. but doesn't master get to use all anyway?

Weapon Assembly is the modifier the game uses when you click the "Assemble" button in your crafting window. The higher your Weapon Assembly skill, the less chance you have to crit-fail a weapon assembly. When working with loot, this is key (along with pyollian cake).
+20 experimentation is all you need. The extra +5 does you no good. +5 assembly, though, can potentially mean the difference between a success or a failure when assembling a weapon.
I would go with the +25 assembly, +20 experimentation outfit.

Honestly, I would sell the bando you looted, then buy a +3 exp and a +5 assembly tape so you can wear a pack and craft.

I'd go Experimentation.
You can always eat high level Pyo cake (seems to work).
The Port seems bugged and not working at all, so better base Exp is my suggestion.

go with assembly...the extra +5 exp is meaningless, whereas the assembly my actually do something.

+25Assembly +20 exp 
I currently have +28 assembly (only because I wear my extra gloves cause it looks better), and +20 exp.

The port is bugged?
Then I have been extremely lucky when using it - zero critfails with my Mon Cal when using Port since the chef revamp came out.
Now, I have topoint out... ZinaTheMaker - Naritus. D'Tox - Naritus. Troll - Naritus. It figures that I would have to craft in the presence of giants .

ok this is all a moot point. my suit is done, at 25 exp, 25 assembly. i dunno why i even bothered making it tho, considering the only weapons i craft are t21's for janine (they last about 2 days if that) and acklay hammers for ell'ey. heck i buy my regular hammers from sif.
well, ty for the responses. eventually if i find a +3-8 exp tape for auction, i'll probably buy it so i can have a pack while i craft, but i craft so rarely it doesnt really inconvienence me. plus zina barely has anything in her inventory.
master weaponsmith, master merchant, zero combat skills=my butt running from meatlumps lol.

ditto and the bonus to assembly helps get those amazing assemblies which allow for a slight improvement at max over normal assemblies.
