Thread: All You need to know about the New Krayt Tissue!
Hey Everybody,
I've just been playing around with the new tissue since the last big patch and thought since everybody was still not sure on a few things, I would attempt to make things clear! 
Ok here goes....
I got 41 samples of the new tissue with +30 -0.3 stats (obviously from multiple drops)
Made a schematic for adv power handlers.....and produced a factory run of 40 handlers!
I then used these handlers in a krayt T21 it worked fine! (T21 was nice too hehe)
So...YAY u can mass produce krayt handlers!
I haven't tried mixing stats yet, as I don't wanna waste my decent tissue, but I am assuming that it wouldn't work.
Secondly, the yellow tissue.
The yellow signifies that the drop has above average tissue. Since the patch, krayts now drop better than normal tissue more regularly. When you get a drop that is above average, the first tissue is yellow to signify that the drop was good, the rest of the tissues are of the same quality as the yellow one!
Yellow tissue can be used to mass produce handlers as well. I made 15 handlers using +45 -0.45 tissue. Again, from multiple drops.
Thx SOE, At least you did something good for us Weaponsmiths!

BOOYAH!
Anyone know if 'old' tissues with serial numbers still need to match?
This is a good, yet also bad thing in my opinion.
Good:
We dont have to limit the tissue usage to items with low handler counts.
T21's and other such weapons requiring 5-10 handlers will be seen more often.
Prices should DROP now that serial numbers do not exist.
BAD :
Market flooding of Krayt weapons
No way to find those "fluke" producers, as they will claim they made a run of "40" krayt handlers.
Non-Krayt weapon producers will be seeing less bussiness once the product hits the vendor's by the "fluke" producers and the Smith's that can afford to pay the price of the tissue.
and thats just my first impression of the current system.
Tyronet City Information
That on Tatooine i think....near Wayfar...
They take could take down 3 at-st, so if you plane to solo...eehh...should think twice..

Ihope you are not having a dig at me there Reino?
My apologies if I have an ample stock of krayt tissue. I was merely communicating information to other weaponsmiths who were wondering about that issue. If you don't have anything constructive to say, don't say it
With respect to krayt weapon pricing....I'm not gonna drop my prices, as the market would flood with krayt weapons overnight. We have to try to keep these weapons at least semi-rare. I am also now selling uber tissue weapons. Although, expect to pay a premium
To the person that asked about the T21......I can't remember exact stats off-hand....I used the basic tissue handlers I made in my big run.....it was something like 7.5 speed and one hundred and something to 347 damage. I was gonna make one with better tissue, but decided against it. 10 handlers is just way too much tissue to use on one weapon.
Oh yeah......To EasyMcRhinopants...(I love that name lol)
You do still need to match the serial numbers on the old tissue.
It is indeed a big improvement that you don't have to match the serial numbers of the tissues. However, what worries me is, how would the weaponsmiths who couldn't afford some tissues to survive?
I have a quite reliable and kind supplier who would sell tissues to me at about 10-20k a piece, depending on his mood. I haven't possessed more than 20 tissues at any point of my career. Krayt weapons only spawn on my vendors once in a blue moon.
There are some newer smiths who already lose out on sales since they don't have some older and better resources, and yet, they can't possibly afford some tissues. On Lowca, there are suppliers selling at 50k a piece (and people still buy them.)
In other words, the newer smiths can never compete with the more established smiths, no matter how good their non-krayt weapons are. I just wish there was some chance for some newer smiths.
What I wrote above doesn't really necessarily have to do with the change in this patch. This patch just makes smiths able to produce weapons that require more than 1 handler easier. I view this as a good change since other professions can finally use krayt-enhanced weapons (if they could afford the cost).
I am just uncomfortable in seeing the wealthy getting wealthier and the poor getting poorer.
