Synthweaving and Storage Space
Let’s start out by talking about Armormech. Assuming you are a conscientious armormech that has stuff of every level on hand – OK I’ll stop here. You need to have stuff of every level on hand OR farm it every time you happen to need it, because there are almost NEVER mid-level mats on the GTN. But you will definitely be using the mid-level mats to make moddable orange gear.
I’ll allow that you don’t really need mats for lower level augments because they’re rarely needed, so just the high level augment mats. Also, you will not need mats for purples at any level other than end-game.
As I was saying, you have mats on hand. And to make all the armorstuff, you will need the following:
- Scavenged Metals x 6 levels (there can be 2 metal types for a given level)
- Scavenged Compounds x 6 levels (there can be 2 compound types for a given level)
- Underworld Trading Metals (Blue) x 6 levels
- Mando Iron (purple UT metal, lvl 6)
- Level 6 augment mats (blue and purple)
OK, that’s a lot of mats. It’s also about the same as needed for Cybertech.
But wait… Synthweaving has EVEN MORE. First, we need archaeology power crystals and artifact fragments.
Then there’s the Underworld Trading component. You see, we don’t just need Underworld Trading metals. We need underworld trading fabrics TOO, because they are used in light armor.
AND, you thought I was done, right? Nope. Synthweaving also takes scavenged metals and scavenged compounds for many of the recipes, especially the in-demand oranges.
Get ready for your synthweaving list:
- Power Crystals (Archaeology) x 6 levels (there can be 2 crystal types for a given level)
- Artifact Fragments (Archaeology) x 6 levels (there can be 2 artifact types for a given level)
- Underworld Trading Metals (Blue) x 6 levels
- Underworld Trading Fabrics (Blue) x 6 levels
- Mando Iron (UT metal, lvl 6)
- Denebrillan Star Silk (UT fabric purple, lvl 6)
- Scavenged Metals x 6 levels (there can be 2 metal types for a given level)
- Scavenged Compounds x 6 levels (there can be 2 compound types for a given level)
- Level 6 augment mats (blue and purple)
And that, folks, is why I had to buy a 3rd cargo hold tab.
