So it only took me all night...

[Krusshyk]

Since the devs published the loot craziness stuff, I have been hell bent on collecting the view screen loot kit parts to get the paintings they create. Until todays publish, I never saw a single piece of it.

I spent an entire buffset tonight killing npc's and looted the parts like it was my job. After some slight confusion and a lot of dead meatlumps, ragtag kooks, and sleemo punks, I ended the night with 2 new paintings crafted from scratch.

Here is the breakdown of how it is done for those who don't know.

There are two different kinds of broken view screens (a gray one and a brown one), therefore, there are 2 different lootkits to assemble them. The kit that takes the gray screen is called the View Screen Printer and looks like a bong. The brown view screen uses the Picture Printer. It looks like a starship deed.

The View screen printer requires all 5 of the lootkit pieces to assemble: Paint dispersal unit, Paint cartridge, blank canvas, view screen technical something or another (typing from memory, so back off) and the view screen itself. The view screen printer only requires 4 of those items; you don't need the technical reader thingy.

Here is the rub. When you add items to the lootkit, you may experience a bug in which the item does NOT go into the kit but DOES get removed from your inventory. If this happens, do not worry. The item actually IS in the lootkit, but you can't see it. You must be careful to remember what parts you have in each kit. Luckily, once you have put a particular part into it, you cannot put a duplicate inside...so no worries there. Put all the pieces in and Voila....instant painting. My house in noc has the bio-engineer painting and one of a droid if anyone would like to see them.

Also, you can loot finished posters from random npc's. But where is the fun in that?

So far I have two picture printer that I have put all the parts in and nothing has happened. Do I need something from a junk dealer?

Nah, you don't need anything from a junk dealer. The Picture Printers take 4 loot kit pieces: Broken view screen (the brown one, not the gray one), a paint dispersal mechanism, a paint cartridge, and a blank canvas. As soon as you move the last item into it, you should have a picture in your inventory.

I just put a broken view screen in to it and it ate it but nothing happened. Maybe it was the wrong one.

it'll eat them and go back to 0/5 but once all parts are in it'll work. 2 bugged up for me last night though and the last part went to 1/5 and never went in. those reset their parts this morning though so it's basically wasted for me.. Anyway I was able to make 5 paintings last night, or two nights ago. I can't remember. 2 Double Helix ones and 3 BE ones, i put them up for display in the LOST City mall except for one of each, which I sold for 1mill a pop. May as well cash in while the supply is still low.
