People tend to dump mats after they graduate to a new tier, but that is an off-and-on buying opportunity.<br /><br />And while I haven't "powerleveled" a crew skill in SWTOR per se, I can theoretically see how RE'ing could provide inventory space/extra mats while off adventuring. Still hard to take such a loss on an item, but if the skill points are worth it to you...<br /><br />So maybe reverse engineering isn't quite as useless as I wrote!Brettonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09168640398403354613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603578528088975721.post-21572755489233201512012-01-13T12:21:45.980-05:002012-01-13T12:21:45.980-05:00When I started trying to earn Creds with Cypertech...When I started trying to earn Creds with Cypertech I focused on reverse engineering and selling, but quickly learned that it isn't worth it. However it still has its uses.<br /><br />It's a good way to save mats while powerleveling a crafting skill (and being lazy). But with a rather unstable market prices of crafted items can vary widely. You can get lucky to find cheap crafted items when people are getting eager to get their stuff sold and doesn't know what it's really worth. I earned a nice amount of Creds by buying blue earpieces for less than 300 Creds and then reverse engineering them and making other items. So if you got some time to spare it is worth looking on the market for cheap items to reverse, like enchanters did in WoW.Mr Contacthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15814771622455442881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4603578528088975721.post-3366858683667498622012-01-12T22:18:09.183-05:002012-01-12T22:18:09.183-05:00i treat reverse engineering only as a way to save ...i treat reverse engineering only as a way to save on mats for further skill levelling via greens.<br />greens tend to refund roughly half their original mats cost when RE'd, letting me stretch my skill point gain out a bit further. occasionally i've created the blue version of an item when it's been the most reliable skill point generator and i've been too far away from a trainer to pick up another green schematicboozynoreply@blogger.com
