DPCummerbund Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I've noticed that when I'm fighting mobs at my level, green-level drops are common, and I frequently get Commendations - several dozen in a few hours. I need to go back to a planet 6-8 levels below me to farm Commendations for an item I want. I have yet to get a green item, let alone a Commendation, even though I'm searching for elites that are at least green to me. Is there a specific formula for figuring out who drops Commendations and when (i.e. mobs at your level, Strong mobs within 2 of your level, elites within 4, etc.), or is it really just random?

Cleux Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Try doing the heroics. If you are high enough level you should be able to solo those missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oggthebase Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 unfortunately, I believe planet commendations on mobs are completely random. You may be lucky and get these instead of green quality items several times in a row, or go through an entire planet storyline without them dropping. As Cleux above me wrote, the only reliable way of obtaining planet commendations are the rewards of the repeatable heroics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolose Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 ^^^ This is true its completely random I was farming for 1 more commadation on a world and it took me about 4 hours to get it but the next day when I went there to level I ended up getting 5 within a hour so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kourage Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Do the 2 or 4 man Heroics. They reset each day. You can also farm the Gold mobs in the heroic zones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yogol Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 unfortunately, I believe planet commendations on mobs are completely random. No, there are mobs that always drop a commendation. Guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DPCummerbund Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 No, there are mobs that always drop a commendation. Guaranteed. Which ones? For example, I needed commendations on Hoth (to buy a certain item), and soloed a Heroic 4 mission that involved killing like 50 elite mobs. Not one commendation among them. In the end, the interesting thing about that quest was that when I turned it in, I got the very item I was looking for as a quest reward! Still, I may need commendations for other planets in the future, so it would be nice to know which mobs drop them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
