So after lamenting the fact that I sold craptons of junk loot, I realized the big problem is enough statted loot to make power bits. Since I haven't seen anything beyond a +22, I started reading more into it.
Either the person who created RE was a madman or a sadist. Probably a little of both. But from what I can read, it looks like the way to a high power bit is to drop an SEA into a piece of socketed clothing, pull it out and hope it magically increases.
The big thing seems to be you have to increase your RE chance and your luck. Mostly from SEAs in clothing, weapons and armor. Which is where the title comes in.
In order to create high level SEAa, you need to have stuff loaded with high level SEAs. Which I suppose at this point I could buy (if I had a ton of credits). But how much frustration was involved in creating the first set of +35 power bits? And who was the masochist that finally realized that was as good as it gets?
Anyway, I'm off to hand sample so maybe I can get the cybernetic deconstruction arm. Wish me luck
