AngFour Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 While I agree it is high they did warn us that they were going to be extremely high on the stream because they "claim" you will get companion gifts in the command crates (Rank 3- No companion gift yet) so they were increasing the price for the ones at the vendors. I did. I got a broken Courting Gift! *and there was much rejoicing* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hichitsuki-hime Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Expensive I can understand but a quarter of a million for ONE rank 6 companion gift is a little extreme. Come on guys tone it down a little I mean 4 gifts for a million credits? Get real. The least you could so is use a little lube if your going to do it to us so hard.... there is lube - the chance of getting them gifts from ur gear boxes:D:D:D:eek::eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharandil Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 It used to cost 30 basic commendations on Odessen, now it costs 250.000 credits... The conversion rate was: 1 basic com = 500 credits. Therefore a rank 6 Companion Gift should cost: 500 X 30 = 15000 credits. Thanks for screwing us Bioware... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweetAcacia Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 6 Rank 5 gifts on fleet = 60,000 credits 1 Rank 6 gift in Odessen = 250,000 credits SAME AMOUNT of influence gain. Moral of the story: Go to fleet. Stick it to "The Man" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it only takes 3-4 rank 5 gifts to add up to a rank 6. 665 influence vs 1996 influence from rank 20-30 (3x) 533 influence vs 1664 influence from rank 30-40 (3x) 399 influence vs 1331 influence from rank 40-50 (4x) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of lowering the price on Rank 6's, they might jack the prices of the Rank 5's, knowing how they think... ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObiSix Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Shhh. Instead of lowering the price on Rank 6's, they might jack the prices of the Rank 5's, knowing how they think... ^^; Yeah we don't want to give them any ideas. I know they said they wanted companion gifts to come from cxp boxes but I've only been getting grade 5's not 6's, and I'm not about to spend 250K on Odessen. They better leave fleet alone.

It's really not that bad now since the prices on rank 5 purples are so low and they do skill up fairly quickly. I do have tons of rank 6 legendarys in my cargo hold... but I think I will just sell them and stick with rank 5s. Some people will pay well for them for use in the 40-50 run-up, and I can sell them well below vendor price with no issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySockPropel Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 (edited) Kind of necroing this thread here, but yeah, they are WAY too expensive for what little gain you get in comparison. Not to mention I feel like the Smuggled Goods vendor should go back to accepting Command Crates as well, and additionally start accepting gift fragments like the Fleet vendor. I'm also annoyed that I can't trade Command Tokens for them. I very RARELY use any of my Command Tokens since I just wait to see what I roll in Command Packs, so they're basically just sitting there. I can only buy so many boosts and Iokath Recombinators, lol. Edited August 5, 2018 by DirtySockPropel typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole idea of these is a credit sync for those people who have way more credits than time (so the people who have billions of credits on multiple toons). For command tokens, buy the boosts or recombinators, and sell them on the gtn. Or buy 230 gear for an alt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it is a credit sink, but it almost must be an idiot sink cause as people pointed out in this thread buying rank 5 and lower gives much more influence! The price just does not make any sense!

Rion_Starkiller Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah, I don't they're worth buying. I funnel all my comp gifts I find in GC crates to the toon/comp I'm trying to increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormForceDax Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I just use the free ones I get from alliance crates. Never buy gifts. Don't like gifts as part of cartel pack either as you can lose companions as part of the story now and paying real money for these. While you can just reclaim them (except the temp comps that you can still give gifts to) It's just not the same, well not to me. Never will understand why players buy gifts be that with in-game credits or real money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a thought, buy the Iokath Recombinators, then sell right back to the vendor for a tidy little profit. You make a couple million doing this with 3,000 Command Tokens. Best yet, not a glitch or bug, perfectly legal to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a couple million doing this with 3,000 Command Tokens. Best yet, not a glitch or bug, perfectly legal to do. I do this all the time, it's a good way to make some extra cheese. But buying those gifts on Oddesun, no way, way too expensive for a gift, that's insane. I'll give em to a comp if I get em in a crate, but baring that, I don't like them enough to get them gifts at that price unless they are the kind of companions that "help me release some tension" from time to time =] Edited October 10, 2018 by WayOfTheWarriorx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblood Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 (edited) Or, you could just purchase the Commander's Compendium (Influence 50 token) from the Conquest vendor. 3 Dark Projects and about 4.25 million credits I think? Seems much more economical to me. Edited October 10, 2018 by Mournblood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, about 3 million credits worth of the rank 5 gifts from the fleet vendor is enough to reach influence 50, so the compendium is only economical from a time perspective.

Sarova Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 IIRC, about 3 million credits worth of the rank 5 gifts from the fleet vendor is enough to reach influence 50, so the compendium is only economical from a time perspective. Some kind person in a recent thread worked out that you need 477 purple quality gifts to get a companion to level 50. This costs 4,770,000 credits and takes about 25 mins (less if you have the legacy perks, I tried it earlier this week). The compendium costs a lot more if you are buying all the items (or even making them now that dark projects are so expensive to make for casuals and soloers). I used a compendium once as I had the items needed sitting in my legacy bank before the change came. Now I just buy the gifts as level 50 influence companions are excellent if you have any crafting/gathering skills. And if you tend to tab out / go afk (like I do) and forget that mobs respawn - my companions always save me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lhancelot Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Gating it behind an outrageous price and RNG.. just means I wont do it. It is not fun nor an enticement to play. This is the definition of RNG in a nutshell. ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
