update, I unequiped again and left it unequided in my inventory and that worked. for Thanks for the info!!

I tried unequiping and it still won't let me purchase

I noticed when attempting to buy war hero gear I had the right amount of commendations and the correct battle master item, however i was confused as to why I couldn't buy the item. Later I learned that you also needed to be valor 70, which is fine but I was working and holding my commendations for that piece not knowing I needed the 70 valor. All I see is that it required level 50. I suggest that it also say requires valor 70 on the items as well so we see everything that you need to qualify for that item.
