This is where the credit sink idea shines, in my opinion. If you are not happy with the Amplifiers you get when you loot an item, you can re-roll. They provide generic boosts to things like crafting, XP and Renown increased earnings or rewards from PvP.īioWare announced that there are no currently plans for Amps to appear on Augments, but they will be made available to Enhancements in the future. These are the most common ones and will start appearing at Green tier gear items or higher. Tertiary Amplifiers – attached to Shells.These provide a boost to quality of life elements of your gameplay, such as quicker mission skills, better crafting results, mount speed improvements and so on. Secondary Amplifiers – atached to Mods.Unmoddable gear in Onslaught will start getting Amps at Premium tier (Green color), but only one Primary Amp can be attached to those. They can only appear on Artifact gear items (Purple color) or higher. These amps provide bonuses that will increase your performance in combat. Primary Amplifiers – attached to Armorings, Hilts and Barrels.There are three tiers of Amplifiers when it comes to type of boosts they provide: There are no level requirements, but these bonuses can only appear on gear pieces if they meet certain requirements.

Based on the location where the Amp is, you will draw from different pools. The Amplifiers are randomly assigned bonuses that can appear on Shells, Armorings, Mods, Hilts and Barrels. While interesting and fun to play with, the Amps are in nature very very small bonuses to either your abilities and performance in combat or a they give a boost to your character’s utility skills such as crafting, gathering or… lowering the cost of flight tickets (D’OH!). What this means is that the bonus stats from your Amplifiers on your gear do not count for the balancing that BioWare designed and tweaked all of the game’s content, with one exception – Master Mode Operations. This system is also not a mandatory one for the regular players. The Amps are not something BioWare comes up with first in the world. I personally think this a very well crafted and designed credit sink. The developers say in the announcement post on that “ Our goal for creating the Amplifier system was to add an extra level of depth for players to customize their characters“.
