Starlordy Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Just a suggestion but how about making the green gear on sale in the planetary markets zero cost for the duration of the XP promo. That would help those of us hoping to wiz a few characters to 55 on servers where we don't have any alts to send gear/credits.

kojottt Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 lol no I am trying to level toon with only stuff that pop out of mobs or quest, and I still can easily kill everything around me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not give people a choice because this guy is alright. As long as you are okay, forget everyone else, we're safe in the knowledge that you are doing fine.

azudelphi Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Do the flashpoint dailies. Get planetary comms. Use planetary comms. Problem solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willisbrice Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I'm using the crew mission skill treasure hunting, lockbox missions. It's working for me. While it cost credits to send my companions on the missions, I can vendor the stuff I don't use and It's way less than trying to buy gear from the GTN every few levels. I also can keep doing the class mission quests and leveling because I can send my companions out from anywhere and don't have to find and then stop at a GTN terminal to buy the gear, or take the time to run a FP or heroic that will give way less XP than the class missions.

Talk about lazy... you get 12 x xp and now you want free gear.... :roll_eyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWookiee Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Gearing is easy. Choose Cybertech and scavenging at level 10 or once on the fleet and get a set of adaptive or modable armor and craft the armorings and mods as you level. should be able to use what you level cybertech with as your gear upgrades. Works great with companions also. If you got the bonus modable armor in mail when GSF came out you should be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branmakmuffin Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Let's not give people a choice because this guy is alright. People do have choices. They can 1. Not pre-order until 12/1, and so not be "burdened" by the 12x XP, and still get the Revan statue 2. Go with the gear that drops while questing (works for me so far since my character is vastly over leveled) 3. Buy cheap on-level green stuff (remember all the creds being saved because training is free?) 4. Continue to upgrade modifications in moddable gear as always, as long as they are willing to do that every hour or so There are probably more options as well.

Voblat Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Buy, from either GTN or planet comms, or craft mods for your gear. I've found that if you kit out you and your comp every 10 levels you will be fine, as you end up 3 or 4 levels over the mobs anyway. Blues work best, but even green mods do the job, although you may have to swap them every 8 levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats what I have done on every toon I have leveled through double XP weekends. I've been under leveled to my class story by 3 levels and I am making it ok like this. Sometimes I have to get creative, but its working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewan Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Let's not give people a crutch because most people are alright.. fixed that for ya! No seriously, how is it that people have time to make these posts begging for free gear but don't have time to stop and earn some money? Gigantic Hint: GSF and PvP both pay, have dailies, and require a bare minimum of effort. As in, you don't actually have to leave a planet to run GSF or PvP, only to pick up or turn in dailies.

Master-Nala Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Do the Heroics you outleveled that give orange gear. For example, on Nar Shadaa republic, the heroic in the Red Light District gives an orange hat. The quest can be soloed easily by someone good at level. Overleveled by about 3-4 levels and its a snap. Then you have a hat that will last you until Alderaan at least. May not be top tier, but it will work. Nar Shadaa, republic side at least, can give you a chest piece, a hat and some gloves IIRC. Will take 20 min to do them all and then you're back to 12x exp. Alderaan & Balmorra are the next places I would do the heroics. Finally, Belsavis which should get you through to 50. Then you can just do a few quests on Makeb to 53 and all the dirt cheap orange gear that drops in the tacticals is open to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teclado Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So far, I've taken my scoundrel from 15 to 34 without doing any heroics or side quest - class quests only. There have been one or two boss fights that I used my heroic moment ability on, but it's been overall fairly easy. I purchased some green implants off the GTN at level 25 and I got some relics from the light side vendor on fleet when I hit light II. Other than that, I've been using only greens that I loot or get as a reward from class quests. We'll see how tough it gets as I level higher, but so far so good.

Brewski Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Or you could just buy said greens from the vendor with the quest reward and drop money you make from doing the class story quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-ward Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I levelled 25-41 and used only green synthweaving armors of the same set name. Since the specific armors are distributed among levels, I am getting a new piece every few levels. Exception will be levels 49 and 50+ where you get the whole set at the same level. I take rewards with this priority: My improvement -> Companion's improvement -> Planetary comms. So far I didn't have any gear issues at all.

kojottt Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 What i said show, how little you need to spend, to progress through with this 12x exp. Hitting level 40, still using gear from drops/quests and I have enough credits to buy nice gear. PS I have enough comms on other toons, and creds to equip this toon every 4 levels, but it would be ultra boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluejayoo Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I've been crafting a full set of blue armor every 10 to 15 levels for both my character and its companion and that seems to be enough to get through the class missions. As far as you idea goes, they would have to make someway to set the gear to '0' value as well, or you would introduce a MASSIVE credit influx / exploit to the economy. Making that kind of change system wide might be too much work to be feasible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
