Hi folks. I've started tinkering with Reverse Engineering (attachments and powerups). I've done some work for a few of you already, and now have enough numbers to be able to make an estimate of what these things actually cost to make. These numbers will probably change over time as I refine the numbers, but for attachments, the approximate cost in loot, buffs, and manufactured materials is:
- +35 bit: 200,000 credits
- +32 bit: 150,000 credits
- +30 or below bit: 100,000 credits
The +35 bits will be required for armor attachments other than the chestplate. The chestplate, shirt, and weapon attachments take exotic modifiers, which usually can use slightly lower bits.
At the moment, I can provide power and modifier bits, as well as fully-assembled Weapon Attachments. Amandiona can do Shirt Attachments, and Macolobba (If he's still around... been MIA for a week or two) does Armor Attachments.
If you gather a bunch of junk loot and wish to donate it, I'll be happy to give you a credit for future attachments. I may be able to give you cash for them, but my cash flow is somewhat erratic, so talk to me about it first. My vendor is in New Kestic at 5884, -5190.
I can also use statted clothing, armor, and jewelry with a stat at least +21, or multistat loot of any quality. Each additional +1 is only worth around 10k to me, so keep that in mind when choosing what to give me vs. what you can probably sell for a lot more. Again, I'll happily offer credit toward future attachments.
So far I haven't dabbled much in Powerups, though I'm sure I will at some point. Stay tuned.
