peevl Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 OK. The "Game Manual" says that companions have certain restrictions on what gear they can and cannot equip, but I have a specific question - as I don't want to spend thousands of credits or commendations or quest rewards trying to give my comp an item - find out the hard way, I shouldn't have. So fellow SWTORS: I'm Dark III, I have what I assume to be a neutral pet - but she's a Jedi, wielding a blue lightsaber, whilst I wield RED ones. I'd like to keep her visual continuity going by purchasing her a second BLUE lightsaber (as she dual wields and only comes with ONE lightsaber) Will she be able to equip a weapon that requires Light 1, II or III? Will it work? Am I limited to getting dark side weapons for this companion? I'm baffled. It's Ashara btw. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Switch_Ares Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Check her Character screen in-game first. Does she have her own Dark/Light alignment bar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was under the impression the companions, as they are now, share the same alignment that you do. So anything, beyond what they have now, is based on your alignment.

So anything, beyond what they have now, is based on your alignment. Only it's not true. Just look at their alignment and you'll see they don't have one. They can't equip anything that requires an alignment, but they can't equip things that are alignment restricted. For example, Kira can't equip something that "Requires Light V," but can equip something that's "Forbidden to Dark I and Above." Get it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustTed Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) WRONG. No companion has alignment. All companions equip based on your alignment. Companions don't have alignment so they can't equip alignment restricted gear. It's not a debate. Edited February 14, 2012 by JustTed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have extra Taris commendations for Ashara to have an orange weapon. Those items require Dark II/III or Light II/III - if I remember correctly. I've already spent 20k on greenies and had inconsistent results. If I spend the 14 comms on a Light III lightsaber and she can't equip it because I'm Dark III, I'll go bafooey.
