I'm lvl 48 just about to ding 49, have an almost full set of Saber Marshal's stuff (Missing Gloves) but Orange gear in the other slots that allow it. Have 90 planetary commendations so I can keep my orange stuff up to par to lvl 55. Gonna try to sell as much gear as I get and such to see how much I can buy in game, then use cartel coins for the rest. I have close to 4k in cartel coins, so I think I am in good shape. Only 300k in game at the moment.

Yep I am good in the character slot dept. Again thanks for the great info- I would have wasted coins on things I did not need to spend coins on.

Great stuff thank you all! Exactly what I was looking for. I will most likely re sub for a month every once and a while, especially if there is another expansion etc. And I think I already have enough cartel coins to unlock everything. Now if I could just get these dang Saber Marshal's Gloves to drop so I can complete the set! Thanks again for all the input-

Hi there- So I am going to go Free to Play soon. I am lvl 48 now, pve only, and have the expansion. My question is what things should I buy on the cartel market to make free to play as close to the subscription service as it can be? Thanks for all the advice!
