Decided to find out for myself if limited blueprints are dropping again or not, so I splurged and did a couple of crafting runs on Armor Tech Gizmos (which were a big loss btw, about 500 PED loss in a matter of a couple hours...):
Limited Blueprints looted:
- Predator Arm Guards: 1 click
- Luna Arm Guards: 5 clicks
- Luna Helmet: 2 clicks
Limited Blueprints looted:
- Orca Arm Guards: 3 clicks
- Serum Harness: 1 click
- eMINE PG/FG: 4 clicks
So yes, limited blueprints are dropping, but it seems like it's just the boosted blueprints that are dropping. I should have gotten some AP-xx armor plate BPs in these runs but got none. Maybe because they are
not boosted blueprints? Also it seems to me that the number of clicks on the blueprints I did get was really low, but this is probably intentional.
Now that boosted blueprints are labeled as such, they will be much more in demand and I imagine that markup on them probably will rise far beyond what it is now. Now when you also consider the fact that these boosted blueprints now drop with far fewer clicks then they used to, it's plain to see that we are headed for a completely different crafting landscape where some cycling lots and stacking these over time will be the object. Perhaps this will help divest some of the EP 4 condition clicking, only time will tell...
