Complete Survey Tool
More of a vanity item, this tool combines all of the resources types into one survey tool and can be purchased from the Imperial or Rebel token vendor. NOTE: You cannot get progress towards sampling collections while using this tool.

Resource Recyclers
Recyclers take any specific named resource and turn it into a generic resource with a low 200 level quality. Instead of having a specific name, the new resource is called 'Smelted Iron' or 'Low Grade Ore' for example. This is especially useful if a schematic does not need high quality materials so you can simply use a 'generic chemical' resource.
These looted schematics are crafted by artisans and also require other looted subcomponents listed below.

BRACELETS
Crafting Scanner Interface
Acquired from the
Witches of Dathomir themepark vendor.
Note: The electronic sub-component quality does not matter in the final craft
Final stats:
- Crafting Critical Success Bonus +3.0
Advice:
- Take both your crafter and combat main into the theme park at the same time (you will need to have your crafter to complete the quest)
- Do the Hearts and Minds wisdom quests during the prologue and have your combat character guard your crafter while they both gain entry to the theme park
- Have your combat character take repeatable destroy missions from Gethzerion (NS) or Aujante (SC) and travel to the battlegrounds to farm items to purchase the bracelet schematic (tradeable)
- Your crafter needs to complete Sage's crafting quests to receive Allya's Holocron, which adds +1.0 to the final product stat. Experimentation is required so cannot be done by a combatant

This bracelet is a very rare drop (<1%) from Jedi Artifact treasure maps. These maps are foraged by players most commonly between combat levels 61-70.
Final Stats:

Advice:
- Forage on Lok or Talus so the loot tables don't include ice cream incredients
- Set up a /dance forage macro to help you move around while you /forage and are ATK

- Read your maps and save your waypoint at the bottom of the planet map so they spawn in an arc
