What are the requirements for doing the upgrades on T3? I could not find anything specific in the walkthroughs at GameFAQs, and the search engine for this forum does not allow searching for T3 ...

 

I want to make a special 'unlock T3' character but I still want her to be fun to play, so I'd like to make her a Guardian if at all possible (Force Jump, yay!) and put only the necessary minimum points into INT/Repair/Computer, so that enough points are left for useful attributes and skills.

 

As an experiment I loaded an old save and tried the first computer upgrade with effective Computer skill 4 and effective INT 15 (natural 13 + Force Valour). It failed.

and it's a good skill to have for breaking down items anyways.

Think it's 15 or there abouts.

 

And you need computer and repair to do all the upgrades. But you do get a little bonus at the end.

I belive the minimum INT you need is 14 & computer/repair skill of 8. To get *all* the repairs you need 20 computer/repair skill.

 

You also need higher influence as you try for the bigger stat bonuses

Think it's 15 or there abouts.

 

Wow, that's quite a lot. Does it depend on the difficulty level? And how much higher are the subsequent upgrades? I am assuming that they do have higher requirements because otherwise people would simply do all upgrades at once. :D

I meant I think thats the highest skill you need. I'm not sure but I dont recall mine being 20 when I got the special ability for a full repair. Dont forget you can boost skiills with gloves, belts , goggles etc.

I made 3 computer upgrades on "difficult" (the DC are higher gor diffcult) with base computer skill just 3. I guess I had 7-8 computer skill total and made all the 3 upgrades.

I belive the minimum INT you need is 14 & computer/repair skill of 8. To get *all* the repairs you need 20 computer/repair skill.

 

Thanks T.A.M., that is useful info. According to the GameFAQs guide there are three levels of Computer/Repair upgrades, and one final upgrade where the Exile gets the bonus. With your numbers I would guess the skill requirements are 8, 12, 16 and 20 respectively. Can somebody confirm?

 

JFTR, here are the upgrades as listed in the FAQ:

 

    [Computer, 1st time] +1 INT, 250 XP
   [Computer, 2nd time] +1 INT, 500 XP
   [Computer, 3rd time] +1 INT, +1 WIS, 750 XP
   [Repair, 1st time]   +1 CON, 250 XP
   [Repair, 2nd time]   +1 DEX, 500 XP
   [Repair, 3rd time]   +1 DEX, +1 CON, 750 XP

   [Computer/Repair, final] Exile gets +1 WIS, +10 Force Points, 1750 XP

I think it goes 8, 12 (maybe 14) then 20. I belive the final bonus depends on you having really high influence rather than the skill, but I'm not sure on that.

You need influence to be able to do the higher level repairs.

My final repairs, upgrades were at level 19 computer, 20 for repair. As for the influence, start with 'Hows the Ebon Hawk?'and kiss his robotic ass a little.
