Gearing up at Level 55

[Tbone]

Just a quick note, we think doing level 55 flashpoints is the quickest way to gear up once you hit level 55. We ran through three of them today and I personally got 55 Elite Commendations, 12 Ultimate commendations, 4 Black Market pieces (Arkanian level), and 3 Exotic Element Equalizers (grade 10 crafting mat).

This is a MUCH better use of your time than running through Makeb dailies that give a few Elite Commendations. If you can get a group of four, flashpoints are the way to go early on. A few runs and you'll be raid ready!

Also I'm told there's no lockout anymore. So you can do a quick one like Athiss over and over for quick mats and gear.

I can craft all 28 Hilts. These are BiS until we can get Ark or Ult weapons.

Need 2 please!

Also, I can make the new version of the Reusable Attack Adrenal and Medpac. Working on the Might stim now. These currently are TRADEABLE, but require 450 in Biochem to use.

Another important thing to do - the new augments are MK 9 and almost double the amount of stats that your augment gives. They require to kit your gear with new MK-9 kits. These are craftable, but require components. You can get these components by reverse engineering items that are level 54 and up.

We can also craft the augments themselves. These require four Thermal Regulators, purples found by critting slicing missions. Currently they are a very rare drop. If you have slicing, we recommend running the missions ad naseum. If you don't have slicing, craft level 54 gear and reverse engineer it. If you can't do either, gather grade 9 mats and send it to people who can.

12 pieces of gear per set. 2 sets per character (PvP and PvE). You do the math.

Or for those with 2 specs per class.... 192... I'm at 15...
