tjabour Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I was trying to set up a list where anyone can put any weapons, amor, items, etc. that were good things to watch for in terms of breaking them down for components. They might be items that are 1. not very useful, but yeild a high number of components 2. Cheap items that yeild a high number of components (this is probably not common) 3. Items that may cost a decent amount of credits but high number of components Any input would be appreciated as at least for me the possibilities of Item Creation are endless, but the components are not. Please keep your upgrades that you made w/ components for a separate post b/c I would like to keep this as an easy reference for others who are trying to find info. on item breakdown. Thanks for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoulSwindler Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Mandalorian armor, heavy weapons always give me decent components. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleni Vedras Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 The number of components received also appears to depend on your skill; Bao-Dur was able to get more components when breaking down items than my pc was. I'm not certain whether this applies in reverse; i.e. if you have a high skill level, less components needed to make an item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My character's repair skill is 0 and Bao-Dur's is in the high twenties by now, and I still would recieve a whopping one peice from Mandalorian Assault Armor...

I knew I shouldn't have skimped INT on my first game, especially as a Guardian. Crap. Oh, well, time to sell some assault armor and buy stims to break those down into parts. Not nearly as efficient, but what else can I do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjabour Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Some of the armor that I found last night on Dxun and Onderon was really good for breaking down. The main one I remember was the Ubese ? Suit. The Zabrak pistol also gave a lot of components, and not as useful as the mandalorian heavy pistol b/c it is not upgradeable. 2 things I noticed about breaking down items 1. Put some points into Intel or repair so you can get a decent amount of components ( I'm a guardian, but with Czerka belt, and Skills implant I'm a about a 7 in repair) 2. When leveling up make sure a character is gaining high skill points in each category so you can create the pricier items (EX: Kreia: TRT INJ, PC-Dem, Visas: stealth, etc.). The main reason is the sooner you can create the best of something, you can do it and then focus on other characters' weapons. Has anyone else used Force, Knight, or Master Valor before using the WRKBNCH. I needed one more point in TRT INJ last night so I tried it and I was able to use the bonus to create the implant I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Swedish Dark Lord III Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I'll try that when I get the game (I'm a PC gamer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PC has 0+7 repair skill, and <armor name> breaks down to 257 comps. When I equip with more skill enhancements (0+10 repair skill), the same armor can break down to 368 comps. It does not matter who I choose to work on the workbench. So, put all the best enhancements to PC when using the workbench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Insinyin Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 One of the best items I found were the Twi'Lek Spinning Blades, broke down to around 500 components each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
