Saber Crafting Exploit? : SWG Premium Discussions

When we brought up pulling cat5 on the expertise subject, someone stated that the trick can be used with crafting sabers, pull plug and experient a bunch then reconnect, 150% success, yada yada, anyone else have luck with this? I've tried it a bunch of different ways can't seem to get it past the caps.

Alright... game this a shot a few times. It seems to me that pulling your CAT-5 for experiment over 100% is crap. BUT*** When I did pull my cat 5 here's what happened:

(((BTW I only used Jinsu Razor. Crafted 4 of them; 2 with drink and 2 without. I got the same results each time. This removes the need to buy 200000 to 500000 drinks for saber crafting (which may be worth it alone), and saves you the time of seeking an entertainer for a buff.))) ANYWAY--->

1. Open crafting station.
2. Choose resources
3. Craft saber
4. Choose Experiment
5. Fill last box of experiment that you can (or the first one I guess, worked both ways).
6. Pull CAT-5
7. Experiment
7*(NOTE) experiment WILL NOT complete. Use the little X to get out...
8. repeat 7 and 7* (i don't know if it makes a difference, but I let the bar load up a couple of times before I "X"ed out and repeated)
9. When you feel you've done enough. Start you last experiment BEFORE yougo on to #10.
10. re-insert CAT-5 and the game will complete it... and voila 99% experiment bonus.

I hope these results can be repeated by others and that they were not just a fluke...
Good luck all. I'll check back to see if anyone else can duplicate, if so this is a money saver.

Well I dont know about you, but almost everyone I know gets 98/99% on sabers anyway. I always have experimentation points left over. (ent buff, 45 station, 15 tool, research center)

Run out of bar before running out of points.

This might be useful for other professions if it works.


Premium users want to yay or nay this?

We can make 100% Jinsu's on starsider, perhaps our resources are better than other servers. I'm wondering if other crafters can use this - such as armorsmith?

However, I think the poster's point is you can max your experimentation bar without ent buff, drink and LS crafting suit. So, if it works it's a yay on this merit.

If anyone gets above 100% lets hear how you did it

Tried it with a crafter. The results are the same as doing it the standard way.

No difference on 5 attempts

2 nays, 1 more needed for *it to stay right here*
0 yays, 3 more needed for confirm

This wasn't a submission, this is why its in the Discussion, we're discussing possible exploits.

NP. Ill leave out the "lock" part.

Trouble is, sometimes its hard to tell, as many insist on putting submissions in the discussion forums.

He's right... I just took the rumor and tested it. Showed my results... that is all.

Can premium members say yay or nay to this being moved to a confirmed section.

This is a Nay, as it is a discussion of a possible exploit.

I have to say i tried this and at first it didn't seem to work. I relog and tried again then i noticed the dps and min -max dmg on the previous ls i made went up, now they are higher than one i made with better recources

SOE has adjusted the saber dps and min and max damages. I had 2 sabers at 1120 dps and 1 at 1116. they are all at 1120 now and i did not adjust any crystals.
