Re: Finding good Mods!
Hi @MasterJediBrian !
Currently, Tier 4 mods (ones with four "pips" on them) cannot be sliced. Only Tier 5 mods can be sliced.
The way that you create a Tier 6 mod is to take a 5A mod (meaning a Tier 5 mod that is gold colored), and use the slicing materials to upgrade that from a 5A to a 6E.
There are a variety of ways to obtain Tier 5 mods:
- Tier 3 of the Mod Challenges will drop Tier 3, 4, & 5 mods.
- The Mod Store (a shipments tab) offers Tier 4 & 5 mods for sale via credits or ship building materials
- Various events will drop Tier 5 Mods as rewards (e.g. Mythic events & Ground War)
Players at the top of their arenas usually keep an eye out for any mods that are "high potential" - meaning they have stats that the player is trying to improve. They will slice those mods to higher levels to try and upgrade the desired stats. Any mods that end up being extremely valuable are then sliced to 6E.
Slicing materials can be farmed under the Mod Battles lvl 9, as rewards from the Sith Triumvirate raid, from the recurring Smuggler event (the name escapes me at the moment), and also via purchase in the Guild Shipments and Shard Shop for in-game currencies.
Keep in mind that only a character at gear level 12 can equip a 6E mod!
