• Crew Skills Map: Force/Non-Force Classes Usage & Dependencies

    [Updated at Game Update 1.2]

    Now here's an interesting Crew Skills map, from a slightly different perspective. It shows which class categories (Force/Non-Force users) benefit more from a specific crew skill and also, which are their complementary skills, in order to benefit more.


    Now it all depends on what you're planning to do with your Crew Skills, either max profit, personal gain or a bit of both. If you're planning on max profit, then you need to take into consideration 2 simple factors:

    1. What are the most played classes on your server - again, the map comes in need, you can easily see what they need the most. For example, if you want to feed the Jedi population, Artifice is the way to go, along with Archaeology.

    2. What are the GTN prices for the gathering materials. My thoughts, there will be sufficient gatherers in order for you to re-think you Crew Skill strategy, to maximize the gain..but that's a slghtly different story.

    If you're new to the SWTOR Crew Skills thing, you can check our Crew Skills Beginner's Guide.

      Yeah this is pretty spot on. Some of the earlier ones really weren't up to date.

      When I saw this the first time, I thought "yeah but that info is well known, meh." However I think I've now looked at this chart more than any single SW:TOR resource. Thanks!

      easy to understand, easy to read, great graphics, this is gonna come in handy when deciding crew skills. One question though, are the companions crew skill abilities affect how they craft itmes?
    1. Raqh's Avatar

      Each companion (except the one on your ship) gives different crafting/gathering bonuses. This might impact which character you craft specific things with. However, I think the bonuses are far less important that choosing the character that will most benefit from any BoP items.

      What is the best choice for me as an assassin??? I CURRENTLY have relatively good armor, but it is not the best for my level...

      I would like having a purple/teal saber when I hit level 50... and for now while it's not a huge deal I'd like have green or bliue...

      To wrap up my rambling... synthweaving or artifice?

      well, you'll need bits of both skills. however, if you are more interested in making pieces of armor instead of parts to upgrade orange armor, take Synthweave. you can easily get armor mods, hilts, and enhancements from planet commendations and the GTN. as for materials, you will need Archaeology for either skill. top it off with Underworld Trading for Synthweave, or Treasure Hunting for Artifice (youll need those skills to make Epic and Artifact gear, as well as companion gifts).

      the purple and/or teal sabers are side-specific, and (so far) only available to pvp gear weapons. if you want green and blue crystals, your assassin will have to be Light Side aligned. no mass-murder and mayhem for you...

      Why's there two blue arrows coming out of scavenging and slicing both pointing to the same area? Is this redundant or am I missing something?
