Overview

Artifice is the delicate work of constructing Jedi and Sith artifacts.

This Artifice Leveling Guide will show you the fastest and easiest way to level your Artifice Crew Skill from 1 to 500 using the least amount of materials.

The Artifice crew skill creates lightsaber modifications, enhancements, generators, and focii for use by Force users. Lightsaber modifications include color crystals and hilts that augment a Force user's combat attributes, while color crystals determine beam and bolt color for lightsabers and blasters. Enhancements are modification upgrades for weapons and armor used by all classes. Artificers can reverse engineer their crafted items and possibly discover new ways to improve their creation.

Complementary Crew Skills

  • Archaeology Crew Skill
  • Treasure Hunting Crew Skill

Maximum Materials Required

Note: If you reverse engineer what you make, you may end up needing less materials than listed below, so always buy them in small quantities as you go.
