Snapdragyn Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Last night I grouped w/ another JK who was using the heavy thermal chestguard. Wow - it looks amazing on a JK! Unfortunately, it was a green item & level 15, so a bit undergear for me at 24. Does anyone know of an orange version of this item? I haven't been able to find this on torhead or darthhater; they have the base item but no mention of an orange counterpart. Would love to be able to get this look & just keep it modded out.

Alterin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The only one I know about is the Aspiring Knight's Vest which is an orange medium version. With level 38 mods, it's about a 100 armor difference than a orange heavy chest piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapdragyn Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 The Aspiring Knight's vest looks completely different from what this guy was wearing. Anyone else have a lead on a possible orange Heavy Thermal piece for chest slot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blekinfar Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am currenntly using a Heavy armor version for my Jedi Guardian. (it has an extra plate over one shoulder and is darker) and would like to find a moddable version of it as well. I think the one I am using is called Heavy Thermal chestguard (ironic that, lol) Anyone have any clue? I looked through Torhead, but alot if stuff does not have SS, and the GTN for heavy armor is mostly for troppers/BH..... I did start out with the aspiring knight vest and loved it. Would appreciate it if I could wear this as my uniform the whole game.... Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halkyon Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 (edited) The Republic Pilot Jacket is probably as close as you can get, from the droid space vendor at the fleet. There's also the TH-15A Corpsman Body Armor, which is a bit different, but it's a pretty subtle (as far as metal armors go) set of gear that's also orange; looks sorta like an armored jumpsuit (min. level of 35). Err wait, I misread what you meant by orange... Well, the flightsuit part still stands pretty close. Edited May 1, 2012 by Halkyon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blekinfar Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Thanks, but not orange colored jacket.... orange as in moddable. Anyone know of the Heavy thermal chestguard or a variant as moddable in the game? The medium armor version is the aspiring knight chestguard which is available on GTN as moddable. I reverse engineered it to purple the other night. Now it is a Tempest thermal chestguard. (heavy armor) I did not think you can RE to make an orange/moddable version, correct? Thanks aagain for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merwanor Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I can make Heavy Thermal Chesguard, but only in either a green quality item or blue. It looks like the Aspiring Knights vest just with slight differences. http://www.torhead.com/item/6L5mA3G/aspiring-knights-vest#screenshots Unfortunaly this is the only version of this armor model that is custom, there are no armors like that on higher levels, even at 50. And unfortunaly, aspiring knights vest is also medium armor What you have to realize is that Bioware does not want Jedi Knights to look cool, you will just have to get used to wearing robes that cover your head with a hood. Or be like everyone else and wear pvp armor. Edited May 3, 2012 by Merwanor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blekinfar Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 wow, that blows. Thanks for the definitive reply. I wonder how bad a hit does the medium armor use give me up to level 50? I am playing Vigilance spec, so I won't be tanking... sorta. I might just mod up the medium Aspiring knight's vest with purples and use it then. *sigh* I do think the Thermal chestguard looks better with the darker coloring and extra shoulder plate though. Will keep looking for other types that will be suitable as well. Who knows, maybe they will listen to what we want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscarhunt Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Bringing this one back to life, as I was under the impression that there was supposed to be an orange/custom version for any of the green skins. Anybody found one for this particular item? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blekinfar Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Yea, as much as I liked it, I had to use the aspiring knight chest piece (medium armor) and heavy all my other pieces. I am level 46 now with my guardian and on Voss. I just bought the black suit and chestpiece set from CM, called Outlaw set, though she uses heavy boots and it work out well for her. I have several alts and have yet to see any great percentage increase in armor or synthweaving orange schematics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianEvol Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I just stumbled over this thread while searching for an orange version for my wife. Aspiring is a good substitute but no dye slot is sad town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blekinfar Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Yea, I still have not seen this happen. I ended up making my Jedi Knight use the outlaw cartel set with a different set of metal boots, and she looks really imposing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitalityPrime Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 The only good looking Jedi armor in the game...in my opinion. (I would rather have the hood down all the time than up all the time) I just gimp my Guardian and use the Aspiring Knight's Vest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
