The guys over at Swtorface have released a excellent video showing you exactly how to craft in Swtor and also how to get your companions to craft for you and gather materials. Its well worth a watch for anyone that is interested in crafting in Swtor.
Watch it below:
As you can see crafting in Swtor is excellent, I really like the crew skills system since you can send your NPC shipmates away to do chores that would maybe bore most players. Also being able to stack up your companions missions for when your asleep is a feature that I was very excited about.
I’m sure you also see that you have the option to reverse engineer anything you create to improve your crafting skill. You can also discover new schematics from doing this so it is really worth you time doing if you are planning to be a big crafter in Swtor. The only downside to using you crew members around the clock is the fact that sending them on missions to gather resources costs credits. Of course once you work out a system to profit from these missions you will no longer need to worry about that.
Sending your Swtor companions on missions will also increase your reputation with that crew member and they can also find rewards such as credits, valuable items and companion gifts which you can give to your companions to open up side quests and romance plots.
Here at Swtor Guide I’m going to go into companions and companion gifts real soon and let you guys know how you can benefit from using companions, Not only can you get them to do a lot of work for you but they can also reward you with a lot of exp from their side quests. A lot of these side quests are only dialog conversations so you can get exp for doing nothing really. So stay tuned for that within the coming days.
