Hanni Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I'm on Alderaan. I have a million commendations from all the previous planets. What can I do with them? (besides spending them on the planet specific vendors) Edited January 10, 2012 by Hanni
TomWhiting Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Commendations are meant to be used on planet specific vendors, that's it. Once upon a time, they allowed us to trade up, but someone decided that was a bad idea so we can't do that any more. You DON'T need to go back to the planet to spend the commendations, thankfully, you can do that in the Fleet, but it's still quite annoying.

(besides spending them on the planet specific vendors) I think all you can do is spend them on the specific commendation vendor. I've gone back and equipped my companion in a few orange pieces. Barrels are a good purchase every few planets. As far as what to do with my super duper old commendations, I dunno. I try to spend them all nowadays before leaving the planet for good.

Which items would you say are the most profitable? Edited January 10, 2012 by Hanni
run_hello Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 If I have a few left over, I just buy lockboxes.
XplaguesX Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 the commendation mods arnt BOP. so i just buy mods for my alts. or blow them on prototype cases. sometimes you get moddable gear.
Dakien Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) I do a couple of things.... I buy gear resell it for credits an NPC vendor. I reverse engineer the gear I buy. I give the gear to my companion to use if I can. All in all, once you get the equipment, you can do whatever you want with it, just like regular gear. I believe everything is bound though, so your options are limited. Edited January 10, 2012 by Dakien
DredWes Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Wait till they decide it's a bad system/obsolete and remove them in exchange for a few measly credits.

Tsillah Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Left over commendations...well, I would use them for alts. You can't trade the commendations but you can get gear/mods for your alts with them, because you can mail those to your alts.
Lankybrit Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I'm on Alderaan. I have a million commendations from all the previous planets. What can I do with them? (besides spending them on the planet specific vendors) How the heck did you manage to get a million commendations?? Cheers.
Dakien Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 what thread were you reading? it wasn't this one How so? You use the commendations to buy the gear and then you do whatever you want with the gear. Please explain.
Kirameki Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I gear up my companions with them untill the point only a few remain and I have the utter hope that one day BW again let us convert them in other commendations.

Hanni Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 I have a weird question. Does the commendation vendor IN coruscant sell the same stuff as the Coruscant Commendation vendor at the fleet? Same question goes for every other planet.

You DON'T need to go back to the planet to spend the commendations, thankfully, you can do that in the Fleet, but it's still quite annoying. Curious, how do you do this? For example, I don't see specific vendors for Taris. Thanks!
pjskull Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 what thread were you reading? it wasn't this one His response made perfect sense if you add the line, "I buy whatever gear/boxes from the Commendation vendor" in between line 1 and 2...
SheckyS Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 There is a vendor for every planet on the fleet. If you don't see the vendor for a particular planet (like Taris), then you're just not looking hard enough. Once you outlevel the planet's gear, though, they are pretty much useless. I spend that I can on lockboxes, and if I end up with an odd number, then that's it, I just ignore them. Can you mail them? That would be nice. Then, at least, I could send them to an alt at a lower level.

TostitoBandito Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I would appreciate an answer for this. Yes. Same vendors on the planet or in the fleet.
Anawyn Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 I have a weird question. Does the commendation vendor IN coruscant sell the same stuff as the Coruscant Commendation vendor at the fleet? Same question goes for every other planet. Yes, they do. I recall there was one planet for one of the two sides (or perhaps both) that was missing from the fleet, so keep that in mind if you have trouble finding one on the fleet. Assuming they haven't fixed it at least.
Saice Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I'm on Alderaan. I have a million commendations from all the previous planets. What can I do with them? (besides spending them on the planet specific vendors) In beta you could upgrade them but they removed that. Thankfully since it would just make people grind the easier lower level areas for comms. So no nothing else. Trade them in for the random boxes and sell the loot.
