Mechanical/Electrical Components

From TaRapedia

Mechanical/Electrical Components are a type of fabrication component. They come in five different grades and can be purchased from vendors or fabricated using a schematic. Players trained in Photonics can also use a Salvage Tool to harvest Mechanical/Electrical Components from certain slain enemies.

Description:

The Mechanical/Electrical component group describes components that are either mechanical or electrical in nature and are constructed out of scrap metal.

[edit] Fabrication

Higher grades of Mechanical/Electrical Components can be fabricated from the lower grades. The lowest grade, Scrap Metal, cannot be fabricated and must be either purchased or harvested. Fabrication requires the use of schematics found on slain enemies. Each schematic is single-use and will produce 100 Mechanical/Electrical Components of the specified grade.

Grade	Components used	Requirements	Time taken
Mechanical Components	250 x Scrap Metal	Player level 1	5 seconds
Electromechanical Devices	250 x Mechanical Components	Player level 1	6 seconds
Electronics	250 x Electromechanical Devices	Player level 1	8 seconds
Integrated Circuits	250 x Electronics	Player level 1	9 seconds

[edit] Uses

Mechanical/Electrical Components are used in the fabrication of ammunition, grenades, Micromech and higher grades of Mechanical/Electrical Components. They are also consumed when activating certain Logos abilities. See the individual articles for more information on their fabrication requirements and the effects of these abilities.
