DarthBloodloss, I put the Implant/Earpiece requirement in place more to get them to buy the Daily Commendation Rataka piece. With listing as requiring a Columi rank instead of Rakata, it gives them the option to buy one off the market if they are not fans of doing daily missions. But I agree completely with your line of reasoning and would rather them buy it with tokens than with credits. I am also a little bit confused as to which specific Operation Hard Mode you are talking about with this statement, or if you are talking about both EV and KP. "As far as what gear is necessary...the level of gear required would be somewhere between No Columi, and Full Columi. "No Columi" is do-able but obviously would be even harder. "Full Columi" is not even necessary. If your whole group had full Columi, you should have no problems." Alchropie, That is fantastic information and laid out in a very easy to understand format. Thank you, very much!

Good afternoon and thank you for checking out this thread. If you can help me out, even better. What I am looking for is any information on what level of gear is recommended for which Operations. My guild is capable of completeing 8 man EV Normal and several members are ready to move onward and begin running others, like Karagga's Palace and their Hard Mode versions. While I know many are ready to progress, I am afraid others might not be quite ready gear-wise. Therefore I am looking for someone who can tell me at what basic gear levels were they able to complete the later Operations and their Hard Modes. For an example on the type of information I am looking for, I will tell you what we currently require for someone to get a spot in one of our EV-8-Normal runs. A rating of at least 124 in ALL the following gear slots, with no greens allowed in the other pieces... Head Chest Gloves Pants Boots Weapon Also must have at least one (1) Columi level equivalent Implant or Earpiece. Fairly simple breakdown but I don't know what is needed to complete Karagga's or EV's and KP's Hard Modes. Any help you can provide, whether it be a link to an already existing thread or site, would be greatly appreciated. - Blaze
