Question about vibro-motor loot drops. When was the last time someone looted this? I am curious, as I don't want to waste my time trying to loot them to make a few good VKs.

If you mean the NS vibro motors themselves that Axkva Min drops, they border on impossible to get and it's a waste to use them in VKs anyway.

If you mean the vibro motor enhancements dropped by Nym's guys, a couple days ago I looted two sets of 4 in the span of an hour. Whether that's a waste of time or not depends how much you care about +20 damage.

Thanks for the advice!

The set I got from Axvka was looted over a month ago...they'll still drop, you just need to be VERY lucky, as you need to find her there (she spawns once a day), kill her, and be lucky enough to loot the right stuff...

I got lucky on my first try....ehm it wasn't even a try....my MSW guildie who likes killing NS just kinda mentioned "a NS with resist like and Elder and a HAM like a krayt"...all sorts of bells were ringing in my head....got from middle-of-nowhere Naboo the my mate in less then 15M.

That being said....she has a lot of guards that spawn when you attack....my MSW/doc friend and I were VERY lucky to survive lol (I was lucky enough to lure axvks and seperate her from the NS guarding her).

Whatever you do...don't send an MSE bomb droid over like I did lol

Its a waste to use them in VK's because they are worth millions of credits each, and usually are either worse than crafted AVBU's or just slightly better. For pennies you can pick up Nym's High-powered Vibro motors, and usually get a better set of VK's than NS Vibro units provide.

Actually...a pair I made out of NS motors sold for 6 million and 20 million, respectively...they both got nice damage slices, one a perfect 35%. It came out to 261 damage, about, which isquite a bit better than aperfectly-sliced Nym VK (about 225). Of course, I only got 15k out of the deal, since that's all I charged to make them for the guy, lol.

Keep in mind, however, that if he had gotten speed slices...yes, that would have been a HUGE waste of the units.
