Crafting: Confusion in Set-up.

OK...I think I've set my "crafting" toons up neatly. I have fully set up my crafters for Pub-side.

These are my Fabricators (the ones who make the stuff) for the Eridium Cartel-side...



O'za - Cybertech
Kiriala - Biochem
Dava - Armormech
Claria - Artificer
Mayal - Synthweaving
Satoru - Armstech

These Collectors are for when my sub goes down to Preferred. Since I lose ONE of my collecting skills, I end up using these four collectors to do crew skill missions to make up the difference. Which is why I'm planning to get all of these up to a full 600 in order to be able to collect craft mats at all levels.



Jerad - Scavenging/Investigation
Miria - Scavenging/Archaeology/Treasure Hunting
Osuna - Slicing/Underworld Trading
Meiara - Bioanalysis/Diplomacy

Since all of them do a combination of what is needed and you can only have two crew-skills when unsubbed. These are going to be my heavy collectors when I'm unsubbed.

Then I'll probably have to do the same on ImpSide when our Imp Guild gets going. Right now we have a name for ImpSide (The Seraph Cartel).

Move is over; Back to playing SWTOR

Having moved on the 28th of January into a new place, we're now in the process of settling in and recovering from the move. Having finished Legendary on my Star Forge, I guess my next step is to go ahead and start creating characters that I can get my Legendary on Satele Shan, the other server that I play on.

For now, I've been concentrating on Star Forge, since it's my primary guild server. After all, it's the one where I can do the most for my guild and be able to hit some high CQ Points (Conquest Points), but occasionally, I do play on the Satele Shan server just because I want to make some more characters.

Still getting a feel on how I'm going to work this blog. The general "What's the Inebriated Kowakian Monkey Lizard blog gonna be all about?" after all, I need to keep things interesting. Is it gonna be "Get to know my toons better"? Or do I post SWTOR fanfiction on here? Who knows? All I know is that this is the beginning stages of this blog and I'm having a blast playing SWTOR. And hopefully we'll, as our Eridium Cartel guild grows, I can add a bit more stuff to this with relation to the guild activities itself.

With Claria at Level 80 and geared for Conquests at 324 rating; I'm seriously thinking of doing the Hyde and Zeek missions to level up her gear to 340 rating. But I've only really scratched the surface with my knowledge of SWTOR and its many facets to gameplay. And I'm sure that there's much more still left to be discovered. I'm not a PvP kind of guy, and even though I really like fighter aircraft in FSX and DCS(World), I'm a bit leery on the game mechanics of SWTOR Starfighter. We're a bit too small of a guild right now to start thinking about "Operations" which require at least eight people, preferably sixteen or more, in the guild to commit to running operations every so often. And we're not that kind of a guild that hammers members to commit countless hours of their day to meeting "guild requirements".

When our Imp-Side of the Guild gets up, we're hoping that there are some more who will want to join us. As for me, I have several Imps that require a home and will get one when our Imp-side goes operational.

The meme above would be perfect for those who join the guild who are interested in forming a PvP group.

Been busy with working on some of my lower-end characters on SWTOR, getting them through their class and planetary missions. I've been sort of skipping the exploration missions. Probably come back to them at a later point when I can max out my points and XP and hanging out on the guild flagship and doing a lot of crafting to get my crafting skill up.

I did Section X to get HK-51 as a companion. He's a downright riot with some of the comments he says as a companion

but the finding droid parts was a royal pain. My wife and I teamed up on that and we both managed to complete that and get HK-51. Helps to have a spouse to play SWTOR with.

I was running with Sidonie here and my wife's Chiss Imperial Agent, Ravenna Carys. HK-51 was my companion on this run, but he was standing behind Ravenna Carys.

I am a bit bagged from the move so updates will come slowly. I've been playing a bit on each character leveling them up as I go along. So they may be finished by the time our Imp-Guild gets up and running. I am going back and doing daily heroics so that I can level my characters up to L75.

Hopefully, there's a DoubleXP event around the corner so I can get some XP boosts. ~evil smirk~
