will consider this bug and not working as intended until devs tell otherwise.
Here is what happened to me . I wanted to gear Princess Leia to G12 and I needed to farm
MK4 Zaltin gel salvages in quantity of 50 to craft MK6 Stun Gun... So I did... It was HARD farm with many resources scarified to complete it.
Then I went for gear check and opened Finn gear screen , entered in Piece MK4 Zaltin Bacta gel..
I saw I needed it but I knew my Leia needs the same so I JUST CRAFTED IT and I DID NOT EQUIP IT.
Then, I went back to Leia and I noticed I can't craft Mk6 Stun gun because I am missing 50 MK4 Zaltin gel pieces...
Dear devs, if I need 50 MK4 Zaltin salvages it is as same as MK4 Zaltin Gel piece... so why did you do this ?
Same situation if I need stun gun mk5 and I craft 50 mk3 carbanti salvages into MK3 Carbanti piece I can still use it to craft Mk5 Stun Gun....
Why did you change the way we optimize and handle our gear ?
Parts of G11 like Stun Gun 5 are handled and accumulated in one way and new parts of the same gear level work in different way.
I feel cheated because I still have 50 Mk4 salvages only crafted in 1 piece. But I can't use it anymore for purpose I intended it...
This should be emphasized as a first and foremost thing : The way you collect handle schedule and maintain your gear has changed.
Of course I will farm 50 pieces again but I post this message so people can avoid making same mistake as I did...
Prototypes for new G11 gear do not exist... shame on me for making this mistake ... and shame on devs for not emphasizing gear models change.
Please fix this bug.
Sry for bad english... as you've noticed english is not my native language.
