I am now updating this guide on the SWTOR forums on a regular basis. Comments left in either location will be answered, though I look at the SWTOR forums more frequently.
In the primary stats section change commando to Trooper.
I find that there is no point going after the epic armoring mods because its really easy to acquire them from illum. The ear pieces and mod mods are where you should focus your mats with.
Thanks for the Trooper tip... I'm Imperial, obviously =P
I mentioned the availability of better Armoring through dailies, and thus advised against creating them at end game, in my post. Better Mods are likewise available as rewards for daily heroic quests, and thus also available, though to a lesser degree since you can't purchase them with commendations.
By any chance have you crit any artifact mod crafts? Just wondering if this possible.
None of my mods or armoring have crit. Droid parts and earpieces can crit, but from what I've seen to date, armoring, mods, ship parts and grenades cannot crit. I now have all max level artifact mod and armoring schematics, and have never seen them crit.
Due to vastly differing feedback levels, I am now maintaining this guide on the swtor forums, as stated in the original post. Feedback left in either location will be responded to, though I will likely respond quicker to that left on the swtor forums.
Which is a schematic you loot in operations. Now since they require some more materials I didn't really try yet but as shown on the picture, it is possible to crit them. Can anyone confirm this?
Can someone please also confirm that there is no rakata recipe for ear slot?
Yes, you can crit on columni crafted earpieces. I've killed all but Jarg/Sorno & Soa in Nightmare, and have yet to see a schematic for anything better than columni.
While we're on that, I wonder what BW will use for future tier names. Columi, Tionese, Rakata, all powerful pre-Republic civilizations. There's a list of maybe half a dozen powerful pre-Republic races, but those will run out quick. Something like Celestial tier would seem like something for the last tier ever. Unless BW is going to keep Tionese/Columi/Rakata for years to come. Or maybe I'm misunderstanding how the tiers work for heirarchy.

thanks a lot!
Also... did you ever crit on a "low" companion mission and got a craft schematic out of it? I just recently started a list of mission I get schematics since I would like to collect as many as there are. Also do companion gift missions drop schematics?
(in case "low" is not clear, for example, on the very first companion mission tier in underworld trading I have for metal some which are 6min, others are 8. Therefore I would name the one "low" and the other one "high"...)
@RogueJedi I allow Bioware to use my amazing legacy name which would be "Eneri" :)

Dark CouncilorCan't login on off. forum due firewall restrictions at work.. therefor I'm asking here.
I checked out askmrrobot database and found

Which is a schematic you loot in operations. Now since they require some more materials I didn't really try yet but as shown on the picture, it is possible to crit them. Can anyone confirm this?
Can someone please also confirm that there is no rakata recipe for ear slot?
Thanks and thanks again for the overview.

Nerf HerderGreat guide, well written. For lvl max players that wanna lvl Cybertech fast and cheap, you can also add this guide : http://www.oldrepublic.net/348-cybertech-leveling-guide.html
Also (I know it's a bit off-topic), but does anyone know some good gathering guide for Bioanalysis ? With nodes marked and all that.
