How to gear for new level 50

Recommended Posts

So I am hoping I post this in the right Forums but I am wondering what I should do at this point. I have a Jedi shadow and a Sith marauder both level 50 and both with HP 15100 . I know that there are dailies on Ilum, Corellia, and Belsavis. So I look at with equipment i can get for that and its only relics, Implants, and Ear pieces. So are there any other equipment pieces I can get from doing dailies? and they all cost a lot of daily commendations so I have 1 earpiece so far on my Jedi shadow. I already have the recruit gear on my characters as well. So what now? I see people with like 22000 HP and I'm like "How do I get that much health too????" So how do I get better gear/ More health for my level 50's? Also I see people doing Hard Mode flashpoints but people say I shouldn't do those until I get more health/better gear. So I am very confused on what to do. I am also not a PvP person, which I know you can get equipment from. So sorry for all these questions but I'm really stuck on what i should do! Edited by mencas

My first suggestion is to find a helpful social guild, take a look at the guild recruitment subforums on your server forums.

 

Also Dulfy.net also did a gearing guide after 1.2 which is still pretty relevant. http://dulfy.net/2012/04/13/dailies-and-pve-gearing-in-1-2/

 

You can buy mods, hilts, and armoring with daily commendations. I would suggest first doing the level 50 FP on normal to get to know the fights, i.e. False Emperor, Battle of Ilum and Kaon. I think normal drops tionese level and hm drops columi, but it's been a while for me.

 

If you have the credits, I would also look on the GTN, and try to get mods, enchancements, armoring above 22. For example: Guardian Armoring 22. You can buy the 23 item mods with daily commendations. The best in slot atm is 27 to give you a point of reference. It's also a good idea to augment your gear, but can get pretty pricey.

 

Hope that points you in the right direction. :D

So, once you reach 50 there are two main routes you can take. Number one is the PvP route. You do warzones > you get commendations > you get gear > you do more warzones > more commendations > more gear. Simple but it takes time (not that the other route doesn't).

 

But since you are not a PvP person you are taking route 2. (That's not to say you can't do both at the same time) Anyway, route 2 is the PvE route. First of all the people who say that you shouldn't do Hard Mode Flashpoints are fools. In fact the Hard Mode Flashpoints are there for exactly that reason: to do them as soon as you reach 50. So that is what you should do. It will get you some Tionese and Some Columi gear for doing it, not a lot but it's a start (Well if you do it many times you'll get a lot of gear, but I digress).

 

Anyway after you have done some Hard Mode Flashpoints and gotten some gear, (by the way it's a good thing you got the recruit gear since it's very helpful at first when you reach 50, plus it's free so that's just an added bonus) anyway after you have gotten some gear you should start doing Story Mode Operations, mainly Eternity Vault and Karagga's Palace (Start with EV then do KP).

 

Now I really, really recommend that you find a guild if you don't have one already. They can really help you out in getting into the endgame. (if you find the right guild for you that is) So anyway while you are doing this whole thing you should be doing dailies, like while you are waiting on the group finder etc. They will get you daily commendations which will give you earpieces and impants, and also the Corelia Black Hole dailies give you Black Hole commendations for Black Hole gear.

 

So after you have done the Story Modes (SM) for Eternity Vault (EV) and Karagga's Palace (KP) you should do their Hard modes (HM). After that you should do SM Explosive Conflict (EC) then Nightmare mode (NM) EV and KP then HM EC then SM Terror From Beyond (TFB) and finally HM TFB. By the time you reach HM TFB there will probably be at least one more Operation but by that time you'll be a pro in this game, so yeah.

 

I hope this wasn't way too confusing and that it helped. May the Force be with you.

 

Edit: corrected some things that were wrong and added paragraphs. Paragraphs yeah, we love them don't we?

By the way you don't really have to follow my progression you can actually go do EV with recruit gear honestly. Well if you are gonna do that, you better be in a friendly guild that will pull you through it, meaning they should be equipped with higher end gear. Just saying.

Before you start HM FP's though you should get your Recruit gear from the PvP terminal if you havent already. Some pieces of it give more useful stats than columi just lesser health and main stat. SM Ops gear you up faster than HM FP's.

For me I went .. Recruit gear (which you have) daily and weekly's for your BH, Col gear, and do all the HM FP's. That way you get some good cash, loot, and comms on the way.

 

At the moment I have a mixture of Tio gear ( with some Lvl 56 mods) black hole and Columi gear. Hopefully I'll be ready for some T2 stuff real soon.

 

Can't really tell you much else that the other guys haven't covered, just where I'm at at the moment.

 

Grind them HM's and Daily's and you'll be there in no time.
