Sooooo how are you supposed to get the blue thingies?

I see what your saying.. just making sure you weren't leveling up first then crafting, as that would be a colossal waste.

I anticipate there to be more ways to get schematics coming later in the event, we are only in the first couples days of a very long event after all. If not, then EA will most likely adjust things for us, like they are known to do.
