Screaming_Ziva Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 I've now run 5 or 6 veteran FPs with a 321 gear rating and all I'm getting is 320 gear. Can gear higher than 320 drop in veteran FPs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Troll Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 (edited) I don't believe you get gear upgrades in Flashpoints from boss drops. The best you can get is a piece at the same level as your current gear. You can either give this to an alt or destroy it for currency. The gear upgrades beyond 320 come from completing the Vet FP weekly. The reward crate should give you an upgrade for your lowest iLvl piece. Otherwise you need to buy the upgrades using the vet FP currency from the fleet vendors. I believe you can upgrade to iLvl 324 through vet FPS.

Toraak Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Upgrades do not drop from bosses, but from the FP weeklies. And yes I saw 322 gear from a FP weekly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRKMSN Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm pretty sure I had a 322 and a 324 drop from vet FPs (vet FPs are all I've played). However trying to reach 322 rating that way seemed futile. After those drops I played 15-20 more vet mode FPs where only 320s dropped. The rate at which you accumulate Decurion Isotope Stabilizers for the "upgrade process" is painfully slow (or the cost is too high). I don't feel you should have to run that many vet mode FPs to earn one upgrade. The slow process would probably bother me less outside the test server, but trying to reach the benchmark (322) when we aren't sure exactly how much time we have to get it done makes the grind seem ridiculous compared to what we had in 6.0.

Toraak Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 FP bosses are only supposed to drop the same Ilvel of the gear you have. Upgrades are only supposed to be from the weekly boxes or from upgrading them yourself from what testing I've done. Now I don't know if you have a higher ilevel then one of your pieces if it'll give you an upgrade for that one piece. For an example I have an item level of 322, but my earpiece is still 320. If the FP gives you an earpiece, it may very well be 322. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyronamics Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) Upgrades do not drop from bosses, but from the FP weeklies. And yes I saw 322 gear from a FP weekly. The new weekly grind. Ship your one gear set to each alt in turn to farm the gear upgrade Edited January 2, 2022 by Gyronamics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toraak Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The new weekly grind. Ship your one gear set to each alt in turn to farm the gear upgrade Yep. Just keep doing weeklies on alts with the same gear. Keep in mind you can do 3 weeklies per character per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pricia Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 The new weekly grind. Ship your one gear set to each alt in turn to farm the gear upgrade Which unfortunately you can't do in solo content because you don't get any gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florrentius Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 dont forget theres a legacywide weekly cap at the currencies to farm from weeklies... When reaching that, ur done playing, come back next week xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
