    I think that it wants a very rare component (rather than something like a console). I have no idea what one would be. Superior Tech Upgrade modules don't work, even though they're always very rare.

    I did it - like an Emitter Array or some such component. Generally, if the Component needs Dilitium to make it then it is Very Rare.

    I think there needs to be something posted somewhere to go into more detail on the requirements for the Endeavour reward. I have been playing this game for years, but today's Endeavour says start a very rare R&D project, so that is what I did with an Engineering Plasma Injector, with the very rare bar at over 100%, but I did not get the Endeavour reward.
    Can someone please explain?

    Is it really too hard to press "L" and read the mission´s description under the "In Progress" tab? Geez, people, seriously...


    The fact that jellyfish have survived for 650 million years despite not having brains is great news for stupid people.

    Yes, because if I want to see a missions description, I click on it, which doesn't work on Endeaver missions. (Also, I wouldn't have clicked on L, I would have clicked on J, but that's neither here not there.) Also, the research UI declares everything to be common, so that's useless as well.

    So do you have to already be at a certain R&D level to complete this Endeavor System task? If so this is a first for this new Endeavor System isn't it? Hopefully I'm just missing something & it can be completed by anyone level 60 & I just gotta figure out how.

    The fact that I have to use REFINED dil just to complete the current endeavor turns me off from doing it completely, however I hope it at least acts as a kind of dil sinc.

    So far, it's been super easy to do. Can't complain. :: double thumbs up with a bow tie ::

    Components can be created very very early on in Crafting Leveling.

    I told you an easy way to identify a Very Rare Component. If the Component requires Dilitium in its creation, it is Very Rare. The item must say COMPONENT.

    You make one VR Component it will cost 500 Dilitium. Odds are you will get 1,000 to 2,000 back from the reward.

    The Reward box is Account Bound, so a Character that can craft can do the Endeavor and give the box to another Character on your Account, if that one cannot craft at all.

    Setting up that Endeavor takes less time than my explanation here. Those VR Components take 30 Minutes to 'come out of the oven all baked'.

    You might want to check that again. The 500 Dil Components (like Isolinear Circuitry) are only RARE. The VR ones (like Isolinear Chip) cost 4,000 Dil to make.

    Not such a great deal to spend 4,000 Dil in order to have a chance to gain 1,000 Dil. In fact, it's rather a ripoff.

    I stand corrected. My apologies. I could have sworn the 500 ones were Rare.

    I guess there are two ways to respond on the forums

    Like ...
    "Hi guys. You can get more details by pushing the L Button"

    and this way ...
    Is it really too hard to press "L" and read the mission´s description under the "In Progress" tab? Geez, people, seriously...

    I don't think it's a good idea to specifiy the button to press, because:
    swamarian wrote: »
    I wouldn't have clicked on L, I would have clicked on J.

    Naming the button only works if a player hasn't remapped their keybinds!

    So it's best to identify the function (Mission Log) instead of the key.

    Thanks Mr. markhawkman. Good luck to everyone on this Endeavor task. I hope you all get at least your 500 dilithium back.

    Neither one of us have remapped our keys. L brings up logs, and J the mission journal. They're different tabs on the same window.

    Some games identify what key has been mapped and display it when necessarily.

    Fleet one appears to not be account wide, ground a few doffs I had sitting on a KDF char went to a Fed char and the counter is empty. No biggie but thought I'd point that out.

    Honestly, I cannot comprehend why anyone would not want to be in a fleet.
    Because all they are doing is inconveniencing themselves.
    There are so many vendors that are only available to players with reasonably progressed fleets that provide nice items.

    Yes, I am aware that most items can be obtained by being invited to a fleet base that sells them, but in order to do so, you need to be in a fleet in order to earn fleet credits.
    And note, I said MOST ITEMS.
    Fleet Ships can only be obtained by being in the Fleet with the shipyard.

    They can give out an Account reward for doing a specific task and can do it only once for the Account per time period. The excuse that the guy left who designed the system of giving out Lobi once per day per Account during the Featured Episode Rerun so they no long know how to do that, is no longer a valid excuse.

    If we have a Featured Episode Rerun and they do not give out any 'bonus' rewards, such as the Lobi, it was all a crock excuse last year. They just didn't want to part with the Lobi.

    It is now about 13 Months since they ran the Featured Episode Rerun so it is about time for another. All those Temporal Recruits are due for the Unique Boffs and Items that really should be part of the standard rewards for those Episodes to begin with. I mean, they are Unique so you can only get them once per Character anyway.

    The Kobali Outfit from 'Dust to Dust' should be added back into that Episode regardless.

    I never saw an excuse last year. I saw a vague statement a year or so before that along the lines of them trying to figure out what to do about the Lobi. My impression then and now was that they meant how to run the thing without giving out Lobi.
    This is an MMO, not a Star Trek episode simulator. That would make for a terrible game.

    So assuming this information to be an accurate assessment of the situation, they don't want to give us Lobi crystals?
    And therefore, the one thing, the only thing that would get me invested in Endeavoring is never going to happen.

    In my personal experience, there are players so Ferengi in attitude that as soon as they get that Special BOFF from a rerun, it instantly goes on Exchange.
    Maybe they make diposable alt characters to get it, maybe they are just so invested in EC that they don't care they're giving up a unique BOFF.
    Based on the above reason, I'm thinking those BOFFs should be character bind-on-pickup.
    Really, who would sell a BOFF everyone can get for free at the right time? :D

    Any four of those items, Cane, Shard, Reman Boff, and Breen Boff are ALL Character Bind on Pickup (CBoP) as stated and are UNIQUE, so that you can NEVER have more than one on a Character.

    Note: If this Repkay comes back, be sure to clear the first three Episodes of the Yesterday's War Arc as it will block advancement into the Breen Arc otherwise.
