  1. Awesome, so as a recap, this is my shopping list (in no particular order): MH Weapon (Eliminator) - 128 AIM, 63 Power, 60 Surge OH Weapon (Medic) - 128 AIM, 63 Power, 60 Surge (Eliminator one has alacrity instead of surge) Head (Eliminator) - Power/Alacrity (Medic & Tech are Crit/Alacrity, so I decide Eliminator still better) Feet (Eliminator) - Power/Surge Chest (Eliminator): Eliminator is Crit/Surge, Medic/Tech is Power/Surge Hands (Medic): Eliminator is Crit/Acc, Medic is Power/Surge Legs (Eliminator): Eliminator is Crit/Acc, Tech is Power/Acc, Medic is Power/Alacrity *Forced for 4-pc Bonus Wrist (Tech) - 128 AIM, 24 Power Belt (Tech) - 128 AIM, 24 Power Ear (Tech) - Power/Surge (Medic is Power/Alacrity, Eliminator is Crit/Surge) Implant (Medic) - Power/Surge ( Elim/Tech has Power/Acc, but I'm told that Acc isn't needed?) This is of course trying to maximize gain from initial purpose.. since most of my comms will be going to buying items before I can go back and buy replacement mods.
  2. Just trying to figure out which pieces of Partisan gear to buy... while I know we're the "Eliminator" items, I don't always like an item's distribution, and would prefer to get the tech or combat medic item if it has better stats. But, I don't know what the stat priority is! According to Noxxic, it is: Expertise > Aim >= Accuracy (105%) > Surge (70%) > Power > Crit (25%) > Alacrity Can anyone confirm if this is accurate? And Acc of 105%... someone know about how much acc that is?
  3. Quick follow up question from someone asking the same thing as OP... you need 4 pc Eliminator... what are people doing w/ their 5 pc? Which slot tends to be your 5th pc, and do you just slap another Eliminator, or find something else...
  4. What is the pvp equivalent? For pve, the 4 pc set bonuses are so good, it's been recommended to use old lvl 50 set gear over lvl 55 non-set gear. Obviously, PVP only has the lvl 55 set bonus, so I'll assume I want that. So, quick question after that. What's the general stat priority, so that I can decide which of the 5 pieces is my non set piece. Expertise > AIM > ???? How much acc do I need for pvp?
  5. Quick follow up on this. Since I was shopping for Adept/Initiative 28 Enhancements, I took a look at buyable mods as well, and see the Adept Mod 28A, which is 70 Aim & 26 Power. Comparatively, I see this: Basic Comm -> Items with mods having 56 Aim & 48 Power, or 70 Aim & 26 Power (which tells me these are lvl 28 Mods). No belt/bracers, so these are from full armor pieces. Elite Comm -> Belt/Bracer with Mods having 63 AIM & 52 Power So basically, in terms of ripping out mods, I'm comparing 70 AIM & 26 Power vs 63 AIM & 52 Power (which is a higher level as well). If I'm right.. I can go ahead and use Adept Mod 28A to begin with, and as I build up more elite comms, buy the bracer/belt to rip out the slightly better 63 AIM/52 Power.
  6. Wow sorry, I think you're right! As I said in my first post, all these currencies and where they come from confuse me, lol. I think I was just thinking about lvl 50 HM though, which drop classic currencies on bosses I believe. And basic comm from doing group finder. Although, that means classic comms come very slowly :X Time to break out my Rakata pieces, lol.
  7. OK thanks. I looked on GTN last night but didn't see much, so I couldn't figure out what you were referring to. Yep, I re-read that paragraph a few times last night and figured it out. I actually went ahead and got the Serendipitous Relic made last night.. cost me 1.7 mil including mats & "service fee." I'll do my barrels next, and then worry about 2nd relic. Understood. This is the main part I'm looking for clarification on. I actually tried to do two OPs last night (after weekly reset), and both times, the groups faltered after the weekly quest was done (ninja DC's, lost of interest, etc.) So while I would like to build a set via 55 ops, I think that's going to be a longer term goal for me. In the meantime, based on how good the previous 4-piece set is, basic comms would buy me campaign gear. That was my train of thought in thinking I need to run 50 HM to get basic comms to get campaign gear. Elite comms from 55 HMs buy me black market equivalent items, which doesn't seem to be good, or have a set bonus.
  8. Excellent, thanks for the help. Some follow up questions if you don't mind OK, so from memory, I remember I had some lvl 50 Black Hole earpiece, and a Black Market Implant w/ power/surge, and a Arkanian implant w/ power/surge as well (from Czerka FP last week)... I'm not in game now, so I can't compare against the crafted earpiece/implant you're mentioning. Wow, this is a lot to digest. I'm going to have to re-read this a couple of times to figure this out So I have a lot of random black market pieces from doing HM FPs last week, but many of the mods/enchantments are crit/surge, or crit/alacrity. From what I understand, lower level enhancements/mods (28s), but with the stats I want, will be better than the 30s from black market. That makes sense. It's an eye opener that the campaign armorings is still better, with it being so "old" by now. Unfortunately, I don't have any, so it sounds like I actually need to run many lvl 50 HMs to get basic comms, so I can buy the full campaign set.
  9. Hi all, I'm new to the content at 55, and have been trying to get my head around it all.. but it's a lot to digest and trying to keep in mind what gear drops where, what content, what prefixes mean what, what is purchasable by what type of currency, etc. etc. etc. For the past week, I've just been randomly running FPs and doing some dailies when time permits to just start getting "something." But I don't have infinite play time, so I figured getting some type of direction might be best in terms of maximizing my time. To start, I'm don't have the time commitment necessary for regular OPs. I have yet to do any of the lvl 55 OPs either, so all of that content is new to me. If I do an OP, it'll likely be in a random group I find while standing around the imperial fleet, which also means it'll likely to be SM to start. Now, until the day I find a group who'll take me (everyone seems to want people who's an expert in all fights already), I figured I'll at least make the effort to maximize my gear. So, keeping mostly FPs in mind, and understanding that currency takes a while, what should I be looking at in terms of gear? My first thought was "get all the black market stuff from FP." But, I really have not been a big fan of some of this itemization, nor has it been dropping for me much. Second though is to buy some items w/ basic & elite currency, but elite comes slowly, and I'm not sure what to make of basic. The sticky in this forum even says the 4-pc dread set bonus is excellent... I can't get dread now, but does that mean I keep campaign in the picture, for its 4-pc bonus? Any general suggestions? There's so much gear and options out there, my head is hurting, lol.
  10. What item is this? I feel like I'm missing a recipe.. lol.
  11. So from other threads I've searched and read on this, reputation items might be bind on pickup, but the reputation gain is bind on legacy. So, lets say I only had 1 level 55 character doing reputation stuff, and I have 10,000 reputation with a group. Now, I just made another level 55 character who's about to start doing reputation stuff. I get my first reputation item from finishing a daily, and it's +250. Does that mean my total reputation is now 10,250, while my character's reputation is 250? I'm thinking that's how it works, because while I see the total reputation, there's also a box around my current character reputation it seems. Taking "Republic 5th Assault Battalion" as an example, my reputation box is "filled" up until Friend, but when I'm on my level 40 character (still leveling), my Rank is labelled as an Outsider. Now, if the above understanding is true, how does the game handle buying reputation restricted items. Say I run multiple alts to get reputation, and so every alt is "Hero", but the total legacy reputation has reached "legend." Will I be permitted to buy legend items, and if so, who can actually use/buy it?
  12. Can someone remind me where to get this quest, or trigger it? I just hit lvl 50 and I can't find the quest giver on fleet... I haven't finished my class storyline quest yet. Do I need to finish that firsT?
  13. So many vendors, I can't seem to explore/find all of them. Is there something for me to do with warzone comms before I'm 55? I'm 51 right now and have long been maxed. I've bought what I wanted for lvl 20/40 PVP gear (largely for companions as I was leveling), but there's no more gear to buy. I've exchanged some for planetary commendations as well, but I'm maxed on those and have bought all the Makeb mods that I want. Is there some other vendor somewhere that I can do something with these comms that I don't know about yet?
  14. Thanks. To flesh out a little more, I currently have some black hole items already: chest, leg, shield, bracer 2 relics, implant. My other implant & earpiece are lvl 50+ blue/purples I bought off GTN. Weapon is Makeb modded. That leaves helmet, waist, boots, and I have the planetary comms to Makeb mod them, I just haven't gotten around to it.
