Keldran_Paragon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 I just finished my class quest and was directed to Ilum and Belsavis... I am wondering if I should grind out the daily commendations or just run FP HMs and get equipment that way. Your thoughts please? Thank you.

hardicon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 well you cant really get equipment from dailies. you can get a speeder, level 50 mods, an earpiece and your augments but no endgame lightsaber or any other weapon, and no tionese, columi or rakata gear. i hate making definitive statements but I dont think you can get any of that stuff, i havent found a vendor for it yet anyway. if im wrong someone will correct me here shortly but i think im right.

Oberstein Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 If you are wearing green / blue mid 40's gear you will be worthless in HM FPs. Spent a few days doing dailies to get 50+ mods in your gear and run the normal FPs. 4 man groups in this game means people will be less willing to carry someone with crappy gear. Skill has nothing to do with it if you cant take the hits, can't heal enough, or cant put out enough dps to kill the "gear check" before the enrage timers. I cant tell you how many groups have fallen apart because some fresh 50 said he was "geared for HMs" and when I inspect him its all green / blue.

You can't get anything from the dailies, but the mods pretty much = tionese gear, if you have a modable item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, which is why you should do your dailies. Tionese / lvl 124/126 modded gear is a huge step of from the stuff you are wearing when you hit 50. On my server you can buy player crafted implants and mods for 20k each, even artifact quality boots, gloves, etc for < 50k. Considering you can make 150k just from one day of dailies there is really zero excuse to not be in full lvl 50 T1 equivelant epics within a few days of hitting 50, then you can start farming T2 + in hardmodes.

hardicon Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 no you can get a rakata implant and a rakata earpieces for the dailies also at 120 dialy commendations apiece. plus the mods but honestly i started running hardmode bt about 5 minutes after i hit 50 with my gear i got while questing with updated blue mods for level 48 or so. completed it, got the columi bracers and made my crafted implants from biochem. a few days later did a normal mode 8 man ev got a few more pieces and just starting running dailies and hardmodes every night to get gear. its not all that hard, you can get the bracers from bt pretty easily. and use some commendations or other purple drops from the instance till you can get geared enough to run some of the other hardmodes. hell i know one guy in my guild hit 50, ran bt with us, then he ran boarding party with another group and never did have a problem healing either one.

Ryouga Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 The only items you cant obtain through dailies are the relics and offhands. - Rakatta Earpiece and Implants (120 tokens each) - 51 lvl epic Armoring mods for all your moddable equipment (8 tokens each), keep in mind that wrist and belt can also be moddable. - 51 lvl epic Barrel or Hilt for your moddable weapon (also 8 tokens) - 50 lvl epic Mods and Enhacements (through the 2+ daily heroics) So yeah, you can get almost full epic equip just with dailies and its equivalent to Tionese gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
