When I got my first 80, I found myself taking a bit of a different route. I started the same, buying the full set of 324 conquest comm gear, but I didn't have any OP-1's for the rakata ear piece So instead, I used my excess comms to upgrade my ear to 340, then ran a couple of Vet FPs to use the same upgrade trick to get a 340 blue. This in turn got me the blue 340 mods for upgrading the rest of my non-accessory gear. I know that it wasn't as strong as the mix of blue and purple mods, but having been able to earn comms before hitting 80, it meant that I was able to get a full 340 set within a few hours of the level up. Now, I don't know which is faster as far as reaching a full 344 Rakata set, or which is the best route for gearing alts, but it seemed like a viable alternative for players that are starting without any OP-1s
I used to suggest that route as well to people! Upgrade the conquest gear and just kill stuff until you get a replacement at that item rating. That's a pretty good route for non-subscribers. The real advantage of the route I've laid out in this video is the collection of massive amounts of tech frags at the same time to upgrade your legendary implants while farming your gear.
I had an Artifact or w/e it is for the lower right pieces of gear ... and that worked as well ... does NOT need to be an earring for the 'trick' he did... I used a trick in Flashpoints for the Enhancement/Mod Vendor brothers... didn't need to step into an operation... 100% F2P.
That just happened to be the piece I had for the example and wanted to say both prototype and artifact counts. When doing operations, you cannot get prototype accessories, they are either tionese or artifact.
Yes, this specific way of getting gear is locked behind a subscription. You would want to check out the other options in my gearing video for 7.2 to see how you can gear up without being a subscriber. You can also check some other comments on this video for a method to gear up efficiently as a non-subscriber.
if you're a subscriber, the recent update/changes to gearing don't change this method. If you're a non-subscriber they added more options for you to trade gear/boxes/etc to have a complex system to allow you to get the top item rating gear & rakata gear, but didn't add a faster way to gear up.
looks like hyde quest was created to make credits sink from economy to decrease inflation. looking how cheap goldsellers in chat sell credits and on all those millions in gtn isnt the best feeling
It's insane how out of control the economy used to be compared to how it is now. It got so bad that individual cartel packs were selling for close to 400 million credits each...
I didn't realize you could buy the sub-324 earpieces that way! That's cool!
Really good to see ya back!!!!
Thanks. I'd love to be back and making videos more often, but still trying to catch up on real life and summer I spend a lot more time outdoors.
Im so happy you are still making content
omg look whos back
started in 7.2 using his gearing guide and dropped the game a few months into 8.0, I might use his 9.0 guide in the future hahaha
I'd love to say I'm back, but I know I won't be making or uploading many videos in the next few months.
As someone who just came back to this game and only casually played before, what the f88k.
Great video! Off topic but that's a fabuluous mane of hair.
Always appreciate the compliments on the hair.
Good to hear from you brother!
love the star wars videos you do

@@Draemn More tech frags for that first set of implants certainly sounds like a good investment!!

Me, not a subscriber and never reached level 80: "Hmm, yes. Indeed."
Too funny
are you cease faith brother? you both have long hair are you guys jedi in real life ? ( a compliment)
I wish they would make gearing system more complicated
Exactly! Games aren't supposed to be fun, they are supposed to be hard work.
Amazing guide
thats some tricky stuff here. thx
Is it possible to get modable gear up to 344 with the Hyde quest or is the max 340 with purple mods?
340 is currently max with Hyde quest
Why deconstruct an artifact piece for the prototype quest instead of just prototype peice?
That just happened to be the piece I had for the example and wanted to say both prototype and artifact counts. When doing operations, you cannot get prototype accessories, they are either tionese or artifact.
Do you have any info on Rakata gearing no matter what type of content you play?
Rakata gear only drops in operations & the OP-1 currency is very hard (but not impossible) to obtain outside of operations.
After i buy the Unidentified Earpiece it says i need artifact equipment authorization. So i need to be a sub to use that?

i cant get the 15 op1 with the deconstruktion
are you deconstructing rakta gear? Only rakata deconstructs for 15 op-1
Does this work in 7.5?

@@Draemn I’ve been following my Ivano’s guide, sadly I’m already 340 by the time I seen this lmao. I do need to focus Rakata gear now though
no one is going to take you to a hm op with 324 gear tho
HM EV and I would take someone in 324 gear
