Slicing is STILL tons of money, now you can actually level up something else with crew missions and still make bank on them while leveling.


yep. which, to me, means it's still broken. just not as broken as it was before.

I dont understand what the value of slicing is if its NOT to make money?



outside of being useful in flashpoints, it has no purpose now.

and the end product from crafting is you will turn a profit unless your a complete bozo, and buy overpriced mats.

you make your self free gear and when you get closer to max levels you get to make epic gear for use or sell.

what does end game slicing get you? nothing its the same thing it has at level 1 just a bigger percentage.

also scavenging is nothing but a pure money maker if you dont have a crafting skill


for example:
Vendor price for item: 400 creds
Rich mission cost: 9xx creds (assume 1k)
Yeld: 32 items.
Yeld in credits: 32*400=12 800 credits
Profit: 11,8k
That's for tier 5

You two are not doing it right! Mindless overreacted panic whining is the policy here.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.

Also you can use Slicing to open up lockboxes in zones.

Yeah, I need to start doing that too... right now I'm just doing lockboxes... making about 200-300 credit profit per box instead of 400-500 now. I think one of the things they fixed was the poor scaling of slicing and profit... before I just ran a low level crew mission over and over for big profit, now the higher missions actually have the higher payout.
