In this post we are going to look at Armormech which is one of six crafting skills in SWTOR.
Armormech and pretty much all of the crafting skills allow you to make goods yourself that you can use for your own character in the game or you can sell the goods on the Galactic Trade Network.
The downside to learning how to craft is that it can be expensive and cost you a lot of credits. The other bad thing about crafting is that you will need to have a required gathering skill in order to make yourself some gear so this can be limiting!
You will find that some good crew skills to go with Armormech are Scavenging and Underworld Trading.
What is Armormech?
Armormech will allow you to make armor for Troopers, Bounty Hunters, Smugglers and Imperial Agents. So if you play as one of the above classes you may want to pick this up to make yourself some good gear in the game.
You will be able to make medium to heavy armor for all non-force users and the items that you make will be high in Aim, Cunning and Endurance skill wise.
