In addition to this, all Artifact quality gear (Armor, Weapons, etc) now require a Prototype quality Slicing material. This was also done to bring value to all Grades of Prototype Slicing materials. The exception to this would be items that require exotic materials, such as rating 212 items.



Players can still craft all Prototype quality items without the need of any Slicing materials, however once a player decides to go for Artifact quality, they will need Slicing materials. For example, Prototype quality augments no longer require Slicing materials as they did in the past.



I hope that answers your question!

honestly eric, I know it's never gonna happen, but about this time I wish you guys would just get rid of slicing. it's always felt really tacked on. honestly eric, I know it's never gonna happen, but about this time I wish you guys would just get rid of slicing. it's always felt really tacked on. SWTOR is not SWG. it was never intended to be at all like SWG. and having a completly differnt design philophesy then SWG will never be like SWG
