Exhobit Recovery

Being able to break down exhobits is a new feature coming fairly rapidly.

So it make mes curios and creates a question.

If I remove an exhobit from a promethium ring, does that make the ring account bound again? Or is it still going to be stuck on the character that I modded it on?

Hold on....this is coming?!

Yes it is. From tests and what I remember there is an item you can buy, make, and get as a drop.

If you buy it you will get 1 byte back from a t4 mod.

If you make it, you will get 6 back from a t4 mod, or 50% by making the t5 item. 5 back with the t4 item, 4 with t3 ect ect

One drops that will give you 66 to 100 percent back. Average in testing was about 9 on a t4 mod.

So you wont get it all back, but def can salvage some of your cash or farming time.

Yes you can get different ranks of the materials to salvage it, the better the material the higher chance of getting all your exobits back. The top level one I got 10-12 back, but it still seemed random and I only tried 3 times so it could be a wider variety. Either way it's in and it looks solid.

I'm kind of surprised they gave in on this one. Kind of a shame bit farming will be unnecessary now.

That is a good question but I am guessing it still will stay character locked.

Nope, still going to be very needed because the most per mod you can get back guaranteed is 50% of your investment. So with that you just have to farm half as much, but still have to farm.

Thanks for the info guys... I guess I missed this information somehow.

Thats a great question though Atari, I really hope removing the mods from lockbox rings might make them tradeable once again.

Ah, got ya.

so, is there some sort of MoT use involved?
i assumed it would be similar to exo transmutation where you had to use MoTs to buy an interface or something to convert.

I tested it out with my resto ring on test server. I removed the mod and had to relog but then you could move the lockbox ring to the shared bank. In other words: Yes you can move the ring after de-modding him to another toon!

Pretty much tho. You have to create a kit which you buy for money and MoT from the vendor and create on the R&D station for the same amount of simple and complex material of the level the mod is (so lvl 4 = 3 complex and 8 simple) and then you can recover it over the recovery tab at the same station.

thank you!
this is the answer i was looking for!
the other responses provide some great info, but this answers my question.
this gets my vit rings onto my main....yay!!!!
