    I <3 Biochem

    I am levelling Biochem for the first time on my Sage alt, and I must say, it is the best profession I have levelled so far. For the first time, the RE system actually makes sense.

    I'm seriously considering levelling Biochem on every character I create from now on.

    I don't recommend doing it on all your toons. You can just make the stuff for your alts

    I have to agree 100% with the private.

    I'm curious as to why you say it's the best profession you have leveled...as this is one I have not leveled yet. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it at all, because I haven't done it...the only thing I have not done yet in crafting actually. I understand all the pvp'rs love it, but from what I have seen you can't make any profit off the GTN from it, correct? Guess it depends on server of course. But on mine biochem stuff is a dime a dozen, so it would only be for personal use.

    I have leveled Artifice, Cybertech, Armormech, Synthweaving, and am now working on Armstech and Investigation...and of course taken slicing, archeology, scaveging, underworld trading and treasure hunting all to 400.

    So what makes Biochem so fun and special??

    if you haven't leveled BIO, you are missing out on a huge advantage while leveling your toons. The ability to create powerful stims is a boon to leveling toons.

    You can make your own stims and medpack while levelling. The medpacks aren't a big deal because you find plenty enough in your adventures, but having constant stims is nice. You can also make the reusable medpacks, stims, adrenals, and med units. The med units are especially nice because they heal you and your companion.

    I like it the most because of how much sense the reverse engineering process makes. You start with a base item that's green quality, say a medpack. You make a stack of them and can RE them all at once. When you get a discovery it is for a blue medpack that heals the same amount, but also applies a heal over time. When you RE the blue ones and discover the purple ones you end up with a reusable medpack of the same quality. The stims work in a similar way, as do the adrenals except that they start off at blue quality.

    The only other profession where the RE process made sense to me was artifice, but I just couldn't get into it for some reason.

    I also like that I can bioanalyze some of my kills.

    Oh, and making the stuff for my alts won't work because they won't be able to use the reusable items, which to me is the biggest benefit.

    Well I have one slot left of my 8, so I guess the last toon I roll will be Mr Biochem for sure

    Thanks for the good explanation bigdaddy. Now I remember that was one of the reasons why I didn't do bio...because I couldn't use the reusable's on my alts.

    And the RE process works the same way in all the proffesions....Green, Blue, Purple. But I agree It sounds like the process is very cool in Biochem.

    The blues are just fine for your alts. IMHO the purps are a waste of time while leveling. You out level them so fast. Expand your mind man

    The blue stims are great for alts too because they last 2 hours and through death

    The reusable medpacks and med units are my favorites. It's nice to be able to solo Heroic 2s on my sage without having to worry about healing Qyzen because I can throw a shield on him before I send him in, then throw another shield when that one wears off, then just use my reusable med unit to restore about 1/3 of his HP if he gets low on HP.
