ChicksDigHarleys Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Since 140 gear is now (basically) crap, isn't it time to remove BoP from the crafted 140 Rakata gear? It would be nice if crafters could gear up their own alts. FFS there's dirt cheap 148 gear readily available on the GTN...what's the harm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lo_Batry Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Yes! 100% agree with this - please show crafting some love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWookiee Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 If anything, it would allow an options for level 50 relics that do not require dark/light V requirements. This is something that always bugged me about this game are the relics being tied to the dark/light system. It pretty much forces you down one path or the other in your story lines if you want the benefit of relics before you hit 55. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matrix Shard relic is the most powerful relic up to 50 lvl and it doesn't require any side. 2. For the leveling purpose you have Rakghoul relics which are the best for it.

JidaiDerriphan Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You can only have 1 matrix shard at a time, and aren't the Rakghoul relics only available during the event? No you can use 'em year round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagikFingerz Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 You can only have 1 matrix shard at a time, and aren't the Rakghoul relics only available during the event? The vendors are still available, so you only need to have the required rep level (Newcomer). Can't remember where the vendors are atm, a quick google should tell you though.

Still, it would be nice to have other options for lvl 50 relics outside of that event since it only comes around once a year to grind rep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to be blunt but you are being hypocritical: On the one hand, you call rakata gear crap, but on the other you want it available for alts. If Rakata level is indeed crap gear, why would you want to craft it for alts in the first place considering the exotic materials required)? Obviously there is still value in them or you would not be asking for this change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously there is still value in them or you would not be asking for this change. I think you're taking OPs words a bit way too literally. One can say "crap" about any leveling gear when you compare it to end game gear. 140 was top, now it is crap. Doesn't mean leveling gear is not good to have and craft for profit. I'm all for making them BoE so one could try to make some profit but without a change in their costs (just a few corusca gems, no exotic stuff) it would make them not so viable. Spending exotic mats on leveling gear is not all that appealing. Not for me at least. Unrelated note: I remember some folks back in 1.0 swtor, leveling artifice just to craft the relics and then dump the skill to have biochem. And I still have somewhere in my cargo hold my Rakata Boundless Ages, crit crafted, before the augmentation tables were on the game. It cost me tears to have that augment slot. I can't bring myself to destroy it Edited November 19, 2014 by wainot-keel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just occurred to me with the change in the comm system to rolling everything sub 60 into basic comms will probably do a lot to help the entry to endgame since I would assume Dread Forge relics will be available for basics in 3.0 similar to the campaign relics in 2.0.
