Now with 20% more FAQ. :)

 

I'm disappointed in you, Guardian forum. Very, very disappointed. There are all kinds of posts here: people talking about builds... people talking about patch notes... people whining about builds and patch notes... people talking about PvP... people whining about PvP... people whining about other people whining... then there are the occasional questions not related to any of the above. And that's all well and good, really. BUT! None of these topics address the REALLY IMPORTANT issue, which is:

 

Does your Guardian look cool?!

 

Many other class forums have a "post your look" thread—including our very own siblings, the Sentinels!—but I cannot find ONE such thread for Jedi Guardians! (Word is it got deleted, bummer.) Obviously this is a heinous travesty of a crime, 'cause I want to know what y'alls characters look like. So! Consider this your (new) thread to post your looks, brag about your hotness, and/or ask others where they got those AWESOME shoes!

 

I'll start us off: Tann's old look... New look plus cool pose! (That chestpiece is the BoE Elder Paragon's Body Armor, by the way.)

 

 

Commonly Asked Questions:

Q: When do I start getting those cool armored robes?

A:
Those will start dropping in your early 30s, likely on Tatooine: the green-quality
set. Moddable ones are harder to come by, but you'll run into them every so often I find. A couple of those are listed below, though this is by no means an exhaustive list.

Also, a moddable Legacy set identical to Polyfibe is coming in patch 1.2, purchaseable with Legacy 20 and 750k credits.

 

Q: Where can I find a moddable, dark colored Jedi robe?

A:
There are a few that I know of.

- One of the earliest, the
, is a quest reward from the Coruscant Heroic 2+
.

- The identical
can be crafted at 100 Synthweaving... but please note that orange schematics are random finds. Not all Synthweavers may have the pattern, though you might have some luck on the GTN.

- UNCONFIRMED: There
may
be another identical robe which drops from Ironfist in the Esseles, but I have yet to see it. Posts on torhead are ambivalent about this as well. Can anyone confirm it?

- The
is very similar to the above, except it has padding on the shoulders. This is dropped in the level 15-ish flashpoint Hammer Station off of Battlelord Kreshan.

- The
is one of my favorites: it's both dark
and
armored. This drops in the level 33-ish flashpoint The Maelstrom off of Lord Hasper, and a set of matching
drop off of PD-44. Maelstrom is part of the
questline.

-
"There's also a chest piece called the
, and it looks identical to the Maelstrom chest. Saw it on the GTN the other day."
— Thanks to RockysRevenge! Also, according to Kellan, this is ever-so-slightly lighter than the Maelstrom chest, but still similar. Torhead says this piece drops from Commander Gosular on Hoth, so it's likely very rare.

 

Q: Where do I get the armored robes you see in the trailers? The green and brown ones?

A:
That is the
set, and yes, it IS awesome. It's a rare world drop off level 45+ mobs, so your best bet is probably the GTN.

NOTE:
I've seen everyone saying that an identical white and blue set is coming via Legacy in patch 1.2. This is simply
NOT TRUE
! While similar, the Legacy "Guardian Exalted" set (viewable
courtesy of dulfy.net) shares graphics with the level 30+ Polyfibe set,
not
the 45+ Battlelord set. Aside from being different colors as mentioned, the Exalted set is also lacking armored shoulderpads. Comparison
. Also note that the Polyfibe chest does have a hood, and the Battlelord visor does look the same; the visor simply disables the hood, and it is hidden in the Battlelord photo.

 

Q: How do I take pictures inside of the game / where is the screenshot folder located / how do I disable my UI?

A:
By default, ALT+Z disables and re-enables your UI. This can be changed in the keybinds menu. You take screenshots by hitting the "print screen" button on your keyboard; screenshots then go into "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\My Documents\Star Wars - The Old Republic\Screenshots"... NOT to your TOR folder in Program Files, but to the folder in My Documents!

(As far as I know, there is currently no way to change the pathing. Also, there have been some reports of the "print screen" function bugging out; if this happens, remap it and it should work fine.)

 

Q: My helmet is cutting off my hood / I don't like my helmet! How do I disable it? (Alternately: I don't want a hood! Which helmets can override it?)

A:
Main Menu -> Preferences -> Social -> Hide Head Slot. Please note that this will disable any voice modifications as well, e.g. the "holocomm" sound you get from some Trooper helmets.

In my experience, any full-face helmet (i.e. Trooper gear) will override a hood... as will most of the Geordie LaForge visors. Headbands
won't
, gas masks (like the
)
won't
, and some Trooper helms which are not full-face don't appear to.

I always wondered why the guardian screenshot thread was deleted, glad to see another.

 

As a side note, there's also a chest piece called the Force Battler Chestplate, and it looks identical to the Maelstrom chest. Saw it on the GTN the other day. There's also the unwavering version of that which is all red instead of black, though I've never once seen it drop. It can be seen on an NPC at Republic fleet, the centurion gear PvP vendor is wearing it.

 

My Mirialan female guardian is currently wearing the medium armor aspiring knights vest because I like how she looks in it, but I've been looking for a nice heavy armor chest for her for serious battles and PvP. I may go for the hammer station drop since I'm only lvl 24 so far.

Thanks Rocky, added the Force Battler's chest!

 

I looked into the Unwavering chest as well... but I couldn't find much info on it. Nothing on torhead or the other usual sites, and only one uncertain forum post from a guy who claimed to have gotten a piece of it to drop. Perhaps it's just very rare? ...Not sure. I'll see if I can find anything else.

 

Judging from this, though, it's a pretty cool set. :)

You can get the Guardian Maelstrom legging from Taral V/Maelstrom as well....they obviously mesh well with the chest piece considering they're the same set.

 

The Force Battler Chestguard is actually a little lighter in coloration than the Guardian Maelstrom. It's a slight difference, but noticable when I switch....so they arent exactly the same, but very close.

There's supposedly a Legacy version of battlelord coming in 1.2 that you can purchase from a vendor.

 

There is indeed a set coming, it is a similar design to the Battlelord gear but not exactly the same, it is chrome with blue and gold details, it is purchaseable from the Legacy Vendor, requires Legacy 20 and 750,000cr for a full set.

 

It looks nice - I will be personally obtaining some ASAP as a heavy looking alternative to full Battle Expulsor and Jedi Myrmidon sets.

Polyfibe! THAT was its name! I'd forgotten... thanks, adding it to the main post. :) Also adding the info about the Force Battler's chest, and mentioning the Maelstrom greaves since they do, after all, match. Thanks for the info and suggestion!

 

Regarding the new Legacy set...

 

I added mention of that as well, but I feel the need to clarify: it is not simply a white and blue version of Battlelord. I've seen people saying that, and it's simply not true. While it does look similar, and is certainly a good alternative for those who can't find (or afford) Battlelord's, the Legacy set lacks the Battlelord's armored shoulderpads—which are my personal favorite aspect of the set! (That's also why I won't be wearing full Legacy gear, regardless of its convenience factor.) To be more precise, the Legacy pieces are exactly identical to the 30+ green Polyfibe set (previously mentioned). They are not simply "white and blue Battlelord's." Comparison here.

 

A bit of a nitpick, sure, but one that's extremely important to me... and yes, I am willing to pay an exorbitant amount simply for shoulderpads. :p

Hah, I have Battlelord mod'ed out to be my dps set in case I'm asked to fill that role for a raid. Ended up having an extra chestpiece and threw it onto the exchange. It sold for 600k credits. You might get really like, since people toss them up there for 10k on occasion, but if people on your server know the market for them, look out.

There's also a black and gold version that can be crafted.

 

Does anyone know what this is called and if there are any screens of it? It sounds really cool.

 

Was browsing the GTN on my shadow the other day, saw 2 pair of battlelord greaves for 10 and 15k. I immediately bought the both, sent one to my guardian, and put the other up for 140k. I imagine they sold already...

It's just occurred to me that you only really need the Battlelord chest guard and the Legacy pieces to have a semi-Battlelord set. Because of the feature they're adding in 1.2 that changes the color of all the gear to match that of the chest gear. Of course, it won't be a real Battlelord, but it's a step closer.

Wow...why didn't I think of that? I have the greaves, just need to find the chest now. Random Correlia drops, right?
