Biochem Fast Crafting Leveling Guide

Biochem allows you to craft medpacs, stims, adrenals, implants, and at a higher level, augments that upgrade your existing max-level gear. In this guide, we’ll be going over how to level up Biochem fast from ranks 1 to 700 in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

How to Craft with Biochem

If you’re new to crafting, you’ll want to start by taking a look at the Biochem Crafting Guide. You’ll need to know the basics first like how to pick up Biochem, how to get new schematics from the Biochem trainer, and how to get the materials you need to craft with Biochem.

How to Craft Fast: Biochem

\

You can easily craft levels 1 – 700 Biochem in a short afternoon if you gather up your materials first, and hang out near the Biochem trainer to pick up new Cell Graft schematics as you gain access to them as you level up.

\

The general idea is to craft Cell Grafts until the next Cell Graft become available. When the number to the left of your Cell Graft turns grey-colored in your crafting list, that’s generally when you need to visit the trainer for a new schematic.

The whole process will go faster the more high-influence companions you have who can craft for you, because a companion with high influence will craft each individual item faster. For example, my companion who is Influence level 50 can craft an Cell Graft in 30 seconds, versus my Influence level 1 companion who takes 1 minute and 34 seconds to craft the same cell graft. In addition, subscribers can load up their companions with multiple crafting instructions rather than submitting them one at a time, and you can give your companions up to 5 orders at a time. At level 80, you can send up to 8 companions out at a time, so the fastest crafting would come with 8 companions each at level-50 Influence, and to save yourself time you can queue up to five item orders per companion, for a total of 40 items queued up – and you can even cancel orders as your Biochem levels up.

There are technically faster ways to level if you craft say medpacs or armorings along the way, but Cell Grafts are incredibly easy to keep track of, are fast to craft, and are worth a lot if you decide to sell them on the GTN – or may wind up being really useful if you decide to craft lower-level cosmetic items in the future!
