So if I have about 30 jawa junk and a billion of the other scrap items, should I convert them into something?

If you have blue jawa junk you can buy Alien Data Cubes that become the new mats at a 3:1 ratio tomorrow, and if you have purple you can buy Self-Perpetuating Power Cells which convert at 3:1 (Don't do that, better to use for adaptive circuitry or something else)

Is there any tricks for patch day tomorrow? Like, if I just leave the launcher running the night before will it start patching automatically so its done by the time I get home from work?

No, you have to start the patcher sometime after 5:30pm EDT.

The jawa junk is just going to let you buy the new stuff straight up tomorrow, I would think.

I highly doubt it. You can't buy Exonium right now, so it would stand to reason you can't buy the Exotic Element Isotopes tomorrow.

I suspect it'll just be taken off the vendor. They want to encourage people to group to get the new gear which requires that mat - I doubt it'll be available on the jawa scrap vendors, which have historically not had any current endgame stuff and only had the old endgame mats because Conquest crafting required the old mats (to get them out of circulation).

Selling low tier scavenged metals has been my only reliable source of credits so far. Merging all that stuff is probably not going to help my bank balance.

They've converted crafting materials to obsolete before, they became "obsolete crafting materials" which were a gray item to sell to vendors. This is their way of saying "Hey, if you didn't sell those yet, loving sell them now."

Oh good then I guess I'll just go to a bar tonight because that sounds better than sitting around waiting for another day stuck at level 55. I'll be able to just run the launcher before I head off to work.

Speaking of I've got about almost 800 basic comms by now on my main. I've been using 176 or whatever the comm vendor sells on fleet for 55. I assume it won't take long to hit 60+, what would be good to spend them on?

At the moment? Nothing. You could buy a set of the 186 gear from the basic gear vendors once you hit 60, but you get a nearly full set of better gear (190s) for doing the Ziost story quests. And chances are the expansion will give even better gear as story rewards.

Your best bet would probably be to hold onto them and spend them on whatever becomes available at level 65.

Welp, I think I've done about all I can to be ready for this thing.

- All my main dudes are maxed out on comms
- I have a tab full of rank 5 companion gifts
- By my calculations I'll have ~500 of the new exotic crafting mats once the conversion is done
- I have stacks and stacks of every crafting mats I could possible need to get a leg up on crafting me some stuff
- I've kept one of each sets of Yavin 192 companion armor in the vault, otherwise all my companions are now in full pretty princess mode
- All companion quests are done and completed
- I have good stacks of XP boosts and am ready for content at level again.

I think you need more basic comms. I'm really not sure if you have enough basic comms.

edit: for real content. For the 55 lvl raid loot. Is it better to have the armor pieces or get the crystal from the assembled pieces converting?

Is the 186 gear just mods or the expensive sets? If former I may just pick up that up depending how quickly I hit 60. Honestly with comps changes I just don't see a lot to spend comms on now.

When the entries say "alt 164" and "alt 129", does that mean that's the average quality of their gear?

Or have you had over a hundred fifty alts? :ohdear:

One thing to consider getting with excess comms is Vials of Isotope-5. I believe they are 35 basic comms and are converting at a 3:1 ratio to the new Hard Mode flashpoint mat, so for 105 basic comms you can buy 1 of the new mats that's needed to craft endgame gear in the new expansion.

No, that was necessary because when I came over from POT5 in order to keep the names I used alt codes for the weird squiggly characters in their names. So when I mail things from republic to Nichódemus I have to type Alt 162 to get the stupid O.

It'll be interesting to see what kind of gear KOTFE rewards you or if it'll be okay to leave a few characters to level from 60-65 through flashpoints and such. As it stands right now, since you had to finish Yavin to go through Ziost, I ran through Rishi/Yavin/Ziost with 17 toons over the last year. It'd be nice to have the option to go a different direction.
