Dude, most of my gear is still 168s. I won't be able to play the new operation sadly. I simply cannot obtain Nightmare mode gear in a month. I'll just do mass observations on YouTube videos.
Yeah, see, there's no way in hell I'm going to be able to support that.

I guess I won't get the expansion, then. The XP boost is the biggun, and it's all but useless to me.

EDIT: On second thought, I have a full set of Orange Gear saved. If I just spammed daily Flashpoints, I could get enough Commendations to mod the hell out of shit like normal. Who needs credits? XP

EDITx2: Damn it, I wouldn't even be able to afford skills vendors at higher levels would I?


I would do it, to be honest. The main issue for me was I got Adaptive Gear. I had to personally pay for every mod I got which utterly destroyed me.
If you just use the stock gear you get from the missions, you should be decently equipped. It won't look pretty, but it will be enough to pull through the game.

That's the thing though--Mods are bought with Commendations, not credits. If I do the daily missions I can get like 20 Commendations per day and keep up with Adaptive gear, that seems like my only chance for survival.

Don't use Adaptive Gear and you won't need to get mods. You are rewarded with free gear w/mods after completing every story quest.

I usually just spend 40k at the GTN picking up some blue gear before heading into expansion territory. It tides you over until you pick up better stuff from the quests/mod vendors and people sell it pretty dang cheap.

Skill venders? Do you mean your abilities? Because they are free with the boost.

Edit: also what server are you on? I hear you can get good gear by plying through Orican.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ The Immortal Emperor

Me/Ant/NewGuy/Sel are on the Harbinger server.

And yeah, each mission gives you a piece of 156 gear. But if your gear is merely par to the course, those pieces are gonna be tough to get.

Which is why I was wondering what server Newguy was on.

Spoiler:
Because I need to get that shit as well...

Spoiler:
maybe you should server transfer.

I'll think about it.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ The Immortal Emperor

How much does it cost, anyways? 20 bucks?

I'm guessing you weren't here for the Rise of the Hutt Cartel.

They make all SM ops drop 186 gear, you'll be fine.

Plus, level 57 gear will likely be 192 rating. For example, 150's were BIS before Rise of the Hutt Cartel, but they were required for entering S&V. However you could get 156 from Makeb or heroics etc...

Plenty of ways to get gear. I'm only half 180/186 if it makes you feel better.

Anyway, if I'm doing this I'll probably wait until the 26th. That's when I get a refill on my Cartel Coins and I can buy a set for the character I'm going to create.

Hey Supreme, how do you transfer items between characters?

FreshestSlice Eternal Commander

Mail it.

You mail it to them. Just make sure the gear isn't bound.

@Sel: Ah yeah, that's right. 5 new levels=complete uprooting of gear.

Your omniscient view over me is humorous, yet misplaced. Leave my presence and go care for your child, cutie.

Wait--So there isn't a way to transfer bound items between characters? I thought there was a way that was somehow involved with that one bank thing that F2P players have their credits stored in when they hit the max amount of credits?

Credits and credits alone, bro. And that's escrow. It doesn't transfer between characters.

So... I can't transfer my Exterminator Mask to my yet-to-be-created Warrior after all? Then I guess there's no point in buying the armor too. :c

I might just use the XP boost for my sorc, then.

What the hell should I do with this damn mask I mindlessly bought, then?

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ The Immortal Emperor

Irrelevant. You mawst get to level 55.
