Infographic: Crafted Gear & Mods

Posted on by

Mr. Robot has been tracking down information for the last couple of weeks, including what can be RE’d, what is BoP or BoE, and where to learn various levels of mods. Take a look!


Crafted Gear List:


Crafted Modifications List:


Extraction Costs for Rakata, Black Hole, Campaign, Battlemaster and War Hero Gear: The cost is dependent on the level of the mod.


The proof is in the screenshots! We gathered screenshots for some of the lesser-known sources to prove what can and can’t be done.


We still need proof of the following, if you have a screenshot, send it our way!

  • Level 26 Barrel / Hilt - can someone see if this is RE’able from a black hole / campaign level weapon?
  • Level 24 Barrel / Hilt - Does this pattern also drop in KP?
  • Level 24 Armoring – Does this pattern drop in KP?
  • Level 26 Armoring - I’ve seen a report this drops from Explosive conflict (not in an item, but the armoring drops). I’ve heard this is RE’able. Can anyone confirm?
  • Level 23 Everything (barrel / hilt / mods / enhancements / armorings) – Still need a source… I’m suspicious if these are even craftable
  • Level 25 Mod – Still need a source
  • Level 26 extraction cost – anyone know the exact extraction cost?

HELP WITH THE UPLOAD PROCESS

Q: Can I upload more than 1 log at a time?
A: Yes! If you do that, you’ll need to pick the time zone for 1 log only, and Mr. Robot will figure out the rest of the time zones auto-magically. However, each member can also upload their own logs and still merge them together.

Q: Do I need to share a raid ID with my friends to merge the log?
A: Nope, it’s all automatic with some robo-smarts that find related logs.

Q: Why do you ask for the time zone and server?
A: Mr. Robot uses those to make sure he merges the right logs, and not merging with someone else that has your name on a different server. That would be bad! After you enter it once, he remembers it next time, so the process is faster :)   *Note, you need to enter your time zone, not the time zone of the server.

Q: Mr. Robot needs my time zone, is it the server time zone, or mine?
A: Enter the time zone of the computer you are using, so your time zone! If you are travelling, just make sure it’s the time that you computer is on. It is NOT THE SERVER’S time zone!

COMBAT LOG MERGE HELP

Q: Mr. Robot didn’t find any logs to merge with, help!
A: You might be the first person to have uploaded the log. As other group members upload, they’ll be added to a group log, not to worry! If you’re sure people have upload logs already, check to make sure the server, timezone and date are correct. If that doesn’t fix it, contact us!

Q: Why do I see way more fights than we did?
A: There are a few things to check:

  • Do some of the fights only have 1 person in them? If so, it’s likely that log has the wrong time zone associated with it. The person who uploaded that log will need to update their time zone, so go poke em. Until they fix it, you can remove them from the group log.
  • If the time zones all look right, it could be a special case with that particular fight. We should be handling vanishes, deaths & rezzed, and other special cases just fine. However, some fights have mechanics that make it look like combat ended. Although we believe we have them all coded, maybe we don’t. Hit us up with a link to your log and the problem you see. We’ll fix it if it’s broken!

Q: One of the logs won’t merge, how do I fix it?
A: Check the log to make sure the server, date, and time zone are correct. Mr. Robot won’t merge logs across servers (since it isn’t possible to raid across servers). If the date is wrong, Mr. Robot won’t merge it, because that’s also not possible ;) If that still doesn’t work, send us a note with a link to the individual and group logs in question.

Q: There are random players in my guild’s group log, I don’t like intruders!
A: Mr. Robot has a pretty heavy screening process before he merges logs, to keep these scoundrels out of your playground… 99% of the time. But sometimes they sneak through. This can happen if someone was questing or PVP’ing with strangers before or after the raid, then uploading their log. You can kick them out of the group log though!

Q: I removed someone from the group merge, and they are back, can I stop them?
A: They will only get remerged if someone wanted them remerged and it passed Mr. Robot’s tests. This can happen if someone has the wrong time zone and still didn’t fix it right. So find that ‘someone’ and show up at their door with a bat if you want it to stop getting remerged if it doesn’t belong.

 

GUILD SEARCHING HELP

Q: Can I search for a player by name?
A: No, but you can search for their guild, then click on the ‘individual log’ tab to look for their logs. We do this to keep the searching snappy.

Q: I searched for a guild and Mr. Robot didn’t find any logs.
A: That means that guild hasn’t uploaded any logs in the past or current month.

Q: When I search for logs, why does it only show the past 2 month’s logs?
A: Right now, all logs are stored indefinitely, and everyone who has a link can look at them at any time, even a year from now. However, our search feature limits searches to the current and previous month. We do this so the list doesn’t get to 10′s of thousands of items, it keeps searching quick, and keeps costs down so the service can stay free :)

Q: Can I search by server? Pretty Please?
A: No, right now we don’t have a server search because the list would get to be really large.

REPORT HELP

Q: We killed a boss, but you list it as an ‘attempt’?
A: Only one person in the group has the boss death in their log (we think it’s the person with the killing blow). So until the person with the killing blow uploads their log, Mr. Robot will consider it an ‘attempt.’ He’s not hating… he just need proof, robots operate best with cold, hard facts.

Q: Why does my group report show 10 boss attempts, but my individual log shows 12?
A: An individual player may have 12 attempts on a personal log if they died and got rezzed twice. When the log is merged with other group members, Mr. Robot can tell that there were really only 10 fights. The merged log will show the updated info for that player. However, Mr. Robot doesn’t want to mess with your personal log, in case you want to keep it in tact and separate.

 

Rakghoul DNA Samples – How to get them & What to Buy

Mr. Robot has a quick, to-the-point guide on how to get 20+ Rakghoul DNA Samples per day during the Rakghoul World Event, which ends on April 24. There are 3 solo-dailies on Tatooine that give you the samples, and each ‘infected’ death gives you 5 (you can die as many times per day as you’d like!).

You can use the Rakghoul DNA samples to buy black-green crystals, companion customizations and a Rakling pet. See the entire vendor item list here and a map with the vendor here. Also check out the Imperial / Republic Containment Officer’s Social Set, which can be obtained as quest rewards during the Rakghoul World Event.

Below is some short, to-the-point info on where to get Rakghoul DNA Samples and what to spend them on. For expand info on each quest, visit Dulfy’s Rakghoul Round-up (she updates it daily, as more quests are unlocked).

Combat Log – Merging Help!

Combat Log Parser on Mr. Robot

Merging is automatic. That’s right… aut-o-matic. Why? Because robots like to make things as easy for humans as possible. However, Mr. Robot knows that us humans do non-robot things, like go questing before a raid and upload a log with all sorts of junk in it. He tried to account for all of these cases, but sometimes he has a hard time relating to us squishies.

We wanted to share the logic behind this aut-o-magical merging to help everyone understand what’s going on, and perhaps give insight into what might be causing something to break.

SWTOR Combat Log Parser RoundUp

Posted on by
37

I wanted to share a round-up of all of the combat log parsers, since so many people worked so hard on making tools for the rest of the community to use. Keep in mind, these parsers have had limited testing, so if you find a bug, feel free to report it. It’s helpful if you can provide a link to your log as well.

I was looking for several features as a user, and checked up on all of the parsers yesterday to get the latest features and screenshots.

  • Accurate: I tested the log with a Black Talon run, and a log from Zorn and Toth. I compared results and gave an accurate rating if the log was within 1% of the actual DPS (total damage / length of fight)
  • Share Log: can I get a permalink to share the report results with a friend or guild mate?
  • Merge Logs: can logs from various group members be uploaded and merged together to show overall boss fight numbers? Continue reading →

SWTOR 1.2 Item Questions & Confirmations

Posted on by
2

In typical Robo-Accurate fashion, we’ve removed items that don’t exist (like champion war hero gear, rated 154), cleaned up some of the crafting materials and information, and verified various versions of the gear.

Why Mr. Robot’s Database is NUMERO UNO:

  • He’s the only source for correct campaign gear (he removed items that don’t exist, like campaign shield specialist.. those aren’t in the game, so you won’t find them in his database)
  • He has item sources, updated as he finds or receives proof. For example, he has the cost for the Rakghoul items (check out this +41 crystal), source info for the containment officer’s social set, and more. He’s adding it as fast as he can get proof. Have something not listed? Send us a screenshot (feedback@askmrrobot.com)
  • He’s removed all sorts of things that don’t exist, like Champion War Hero gear, rating 160. He doesn’t want you wasting time thinking something exists when it doesn’t :(
  • When mods can be removed from gear, he tells you what items. So you can find a source to rip that happy little mod out and put it in a new orange home.
  • Mr. Robot is a master at crafting – he shows item variants only when they exist, for example, the variants for this item don’t exist… Mr. Robot makes sure those don’t show up in his database his database, he doesn’t want to mislead you! However, if the variants do exist, he’ll tell you about it, like with this.
