Nonentity, I'm beginning to get a bit disappointed. It's been like a year and a half since I requested my "cut open taun-taun and get inside" regen item.

Also, I've seen that POT5 is dying a bit more every day so I feel it's time for you to take your friends and family and bring them over to us.

You can easily get together the look you see most npcs wearing by the earlyish middle of act two I think. keep an eye on the quest rewards, and some boots and gloves off of the comms vendors do the trick. I know I have most of the white "officer" one as well as the gray black look and my agent is level 30. I put together a neat little set with a few pieces from the covert imperial flight set from gsf early access or whatever. The pants from that have been incredibly versatile in putting together some sleeker looks. Check torfashion for the hooligans set I think it is, it and it's similar looks are the archetypical officer type

Yes. not much of the Gear requires any level.

Generally the key is to just buy the gear that matches what you want to wear, and wear that from like level 10 onwards just changing the mods and armorings.

Hell If you're on JC, I could probably buy for you any non rare and fuckoff expensive armor set.

I know some people like them, but putting jumping puzzles in a game with floaty janky controls is just torture sometimes. Of course they had to put lore bits on them too, so I am compelled to chase them. :(

FYI the price of Exonium on the GTN just went from 3500 to 200k. Guessing people speculating they'll convert to the new hard mode mats. So if you have any and want to try and cash in, nows the time. I took the 4 we had in the guild bank and put them up for guild funds, please don't undercut me. :)

All of the old rare mats are being converted so prices are climbing. I bought 7 stacks of Alien Data Cubes from the Jawa scrap vendor in the hopes they convert one to one.

Standard models come in white labcoats for inexplicable reasons.
So I was looking at the starter pack bundle Amazon has (the $40 one that's been mentioned in here a few times already) and I'm tempted but it's only available to people in the States. Why? It's a loving digital download, you get a code in an email. Why in the everloving gently caress does it or should it matter one tiny bit where you are? WTF, Amazon?

Just add a fake US address to your account and have it "shipped" there. Worked fine for me in the UK.

1. As mentioned, you can just add yourself a US shipping address and it'll accept it regardless of where your billing address is.

2. Just a heads-up when getting this that it doesn't actually include the SoR expansion. It just unlocks on the 27th like it does for every other subscriber.

You're fine. All the stuff that "goes away" with KOTFE only goes away when you actually start the new 4.0 story content at level 60. You get a big warning when you're about to do that.

The only thing that will be gone come 4.0 is the achievements for getting companions to 10k affection. If you've done their stories you're good, if you haven't you're still good as long as you finish them before starting KOTFE story proper.

Affection will influence the damage/health of your companions come 4.0, so getting to 10k is still not bad.

Nothing is happening to your companions until you start KOTFE. And even then unless you've read spoilers we don't know.

There only thing that changes if you don't start KOTFE is companions no longer require gear and affection turns into influence

Ahh neat I've got like 3 full stacks of Exonium that I never really did anything with.

Fake edit: they're still under 10k on Harbinger. JC must have gone Exonium crazy for some reason.

Yeah I spent alot of time learning the "ideal" implant schematics when 3.0 hit and unfortunately they just weren't that much better than the Yavin basic comm ones, and the purple mats just never seemed to drop from diplomacy. I'm hoping with the focus on simpler crafting along with mastery I'll be able to make some money off implants. Assuming they add vendor relics to reverse engineer I think Artifice will continue to be profitable as well.

Implants are so freakin' expensive on the GTN! :argh:

Less complainy question: archaeology materials used to be grade 1 through grade 6, at 400 skill. The next category up (401+) is grade 9. Why is that?

Yeah just speculation. Implants, earpieces, and relics tend to do well since there's no set bonus to worry about. From that list Implants drop from some of the harder bosses so that might encourage people to be lazy combined with the fact that supposedly crafted gear will be more comparable to drops.

Grades 7 and 8 crafting materials were drops from Operations before the first expansion.
