SWTOR 7.4 : BEST GEARING PATHS TO 340+ (SOLO FRIENDLY!)

[@CephalonKet]

Something I've noticed now that I didn't mention in the video is that from the VETERAN weekly crates, you have a chance of getting the blue decurion gear upgraded as well!!!! So it's actually doable to just do veteran flashpoints to gear up instead of master fps! 336 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYiTcnx7bcqtjZY

[@johnnywolf2337]

Thank you so much for making this video, its getting tough finding videos that arnt old or quick blurbs that doesnt explain much. Keep up the good work

[@CephalonKet]

Glad it helped!

[@scoso.88]

Just came back after about 8 years. They made some great changes to gearing. Thank you for your guides

[@CephalonKet]

Glad it helped! Enjoy the game

[@exxabkgaming3349]

Thank you, this helps s lot. Just started playing 2 weeks ago and reached level 80 and I enjoy endgame grinds in MMOs.

[@CephalonKet]

Glad it helped! Enjoy the grinding!

[@coriohttv]

Thanks for this clear and concise overview of the gearing! It was a bit overwhelming hitting 80 and getting so many avenues just handed to me all at once

[@CephalonKet]

Glad it was helpful!

[@billy0936]

After revan expansion the gearing system overwhelmed me more and more. I enjoy fallen empire a lot (except the awful amount) of unnecessary mobs. This video helps a lot. Playing since beta 🎉

[@CephalonKet]

Glad I helped!

So I was ready for this update, I saved my crate rewards to open then after the patch, and had saved up loads of op1s and fp1s. I now have my two main guys upgraded and working exclusively on getting legendaries up to 340. Master flashpoints ARE dropping purple Rakata gear randomly from boss fights. We got a purple 340 from second boss on red reaper. And it was an easy upgrade to 344 ear piece. Still working on getting some relics upgraded from blue prototype 340 to purple rakata and upgrade them from 340 to 344. If you get earpiece and 2 relics to 344 and have your purple upgrades for your 340 gear…. It’s just a long grind for tech frags to get your legendary implants up to 340, For max stats…. The one thing that did suck is when you upgraded the first implant we lost our discount for the previous max…. So no discount for other characters again till you get at least 1 with BOTH legendary implants to 340 now on at least 1 character. The loot boxes from ops and flashpoints also have a random chance for blue prototype 340s once you reach ranking 338 on your character, so save them up to open them at the right time to get extra gear for alternate characters. I can feel a slight boost to abilities, and makes doing master flashpoints a bit easier…. Ops are still hard on higher difficulties as always even with better gear as the mechanics are still required to be learned and mastered as well.

[@Bladenkerst_Baenre]

Like with the 334 Implants, once you get both implants to 340, you will unlock an achievement that drops the cost of implants (336-340) to 2500 for alts!!!!!!

[@CephalonKet]

Nice!

[@lufasumafalu5069]

love ur guides w honest to earth opinions

[@CephalonKet]

Thank you I'm glad they helped!

[@Ezackiel1]

weekly or something operations story vet and master gives boxes, don't OPEN them.. you can exchange 3 Master boxes for 1 part Rakata random at your gear lvl if you are 340 then it will be 340 purple !! instead of going all the upgrades one by one T.T I mean I didn't start doing it but I done researchs.. you can exchange 3 box story for 1 vet and 3 vet for 1 master

[@hyneksmid3293]

Thank you for video. I hope Broadword keep this system an stop changing getting gear. From 7.00 to 7,3 It was very weird how they keep changing gearing.

[@CephalonKet]

Yeah this gearing method is definitely an ongoing 'journey' for them since 7.0

[@jorgeplanella9001]

I think a mix of moded gear and a higher tier from ops is the best way

[@Ingram091]

It used to be far worse when you had to fight over a drop in a operation cause we only got gear pieces piece meal with no option to craft the best gear as we have now. Random drops also meant that good ops teams were hard to find cause they kept pushing the difficulty up every patch to match the new level gear and things we were doing daily became a long grind of piece by piece chance rolls to get gear just to be able to be good enough to participate and be wanted in ops again…. Back when max level was 65 it was very unpleasant and many of us quit playing out of frustration of endless grind. Now yea it’s a LITTLE grind and we can build our own max level armors ourselves…. Much easier.

[@askatosch3192]

Nice, thanks for another solo friendly guide

[@CephalonKet]

Thank you for watching!

[@2023roadstervet]

Thank you.. I'm going to 344.. I have nothing to do for the entire next year.. I'm retired.. lmmfao

[@tennisfreak312]

Hi, so even if I am at 336, I would need to buy / get a low level 326 FP gear. Then upgrade 326 -> 340 and then deconstruct that piece, which I dont even need?

[@CephalonKet]

Hey! If you're at blue 336 then you don't have to buy another 326. Upgrade your existing blue 336 gear to 340. Alternatively, do flashpoints for the chance to get another blue gear piece.

[@MarioWarKing]

VERY HELPFUL. 🏆🏆🏆The work it takes to get gear in SWTOR is Childs play compared to getting gear and upgrading in BLACK DESERT ONLINE 😂😂😂

[@CephalonKet]

Glad you found this helpful! I've only played a tiny bit of Black Desert compared to Swtor, so thankfully haven't experienced the infamous gearing of BDO hahah

[@fu6817]

The best gear makes all the tasks a lot faster and easier, that's why i want them even if i don't do hardest content. I read about conversions and i feel like 200 commendations from weekly conquest is not enough to gear myself before next item tier comes out, or something..

[@cz5836]

To be honest, it's always been that way when gearing up in mmos. We got lucky in swtor with 6.0 and gearing easy

[@cz5836]

It's still easy enough to hear now if you just do the blues from flashpoints and fp-1 stabilizers

[@perssontm1628]

What about relics?

[@kurono1999]

I don't even play this game but YT recommended it and you sound like a nice person, liked and subscribed, lol

[@CephalonKet]

Hahah, thank you! Lots of playthroughs on my channel if you're into stream content!

[@swgohreal-talk5790]

I just upgraded my Rakata relics to 344 and the device to 344 and I letall my characters use those

[@redwolfacutinaantam7725]

First off thanks for the Video's. You speak of the previous video that goes into more detail but I can't find it. When did you make it and what is it titled? Thanks again.

[@sarys73]

Are Conquest gear only green? If so, should I just focus on FP since I'm PVE only?

[@CephalonKet]

Conquest gear is green, yes. As said in the video, better gear to get is the FP gear.

Hey thank you so much

[@CephalonKet]

Glad to help!

[@Antonin1738]

Thanks, I've been struggling for gear. not sure if the crates from GSF is good gear or an actual path to 340

[@CephalonKet]

GSF is meant to be a path to 340 as GSF can't get up to the max gear rating.

[@Nemoticon]

Thank you, I find your videos so helpful now that I am no longer a subscriber (trying to get used to being F2P). Where do I get Tacticals that don't require 'Authorization: Artifact Equipment', pls?

[@CephalonKet]

Eventually you'll need to get the authorization as f2p it's a must!

[@Bugbreach]

when will they add Duros as playable characters?

[@CephalonKet]

Good question!

[@valkeery1216]

just found your channel good vid, heard we can interact with that twilek londndar who sells relics now he can give higher rated gear but to me i cant interact with him again to get the higher lvl gear. is there something I need to do?

[@CephalonKet]

Hey thanks for watching! You don't need to interact with the twilek again, you need to interact with the droid next to him, and find the legendary implant you want to upgrade on the list there.

[@valkeery1216]

@@CephalonKet thanks for the answer but sadly doesnt work it still shows just the relics that were before

[@CephalonKet]

Do you have the relics you want to upgrade on you? You need to find the names and hover over them to see if the upgrade is higher, it does not show you it's going to be a higher rating on the title of the implant.

[@short72hp1]

great vid new sub 💯👍 I am endgame but need this to finish you dam star fortress misions

[@CephalonKet]

Thank you for the support! Star Fortress is a journey!

[@leonardogaskin5438]

Just a quick question: can a F2P player get that 340 gear? and, does it work with the old sets (from 7.0) so we can benefit from 2-4pc set bonnuses ?

[@CephalonKet]

I'm playing as F2P and as long as you have unlocked max level by subscribing once in the past, it should work. Of course, you can't do the operations so you are unable to get operation gear easily.

[@RippednBuff]

Is 336 good enough for pvp?

[@CephalonKet]

I don't play PVP much but from what I've seen skill is more important in pvp

[@Kevin-oy2lr]

PVP gear rating is capped at 336, so if your just doing PVP gearing beyond that is pointless.

[@RippednBuff]

@@Kevin-oy2lr Im 336 now and the damage just isnt there, even when the match feels good I only do like 4 mill compared to people putting up 6-10. Maybe im just ass at the game.

[@Kevin-oy2lr]

​​@@RippednBuff Sounds to me like you're a single target spec, and those big numbers are aoe specced. 4 million is good for single target. If you are comparing yourself to a Veng Jugg in a Voidstar, you are going to crushed in dmg everytime. Also depends on how people play. Some people don't focus as much on objectives and just play to do the most damage possible. Playstyle is also a big factor.

[@RippednBuff]

@@Kevin-oy2lr Yeah I'm still Ironing out my gear, I have 336 mods with 276 augments, I still need to get purple enhancements and upgrade pvp relics to 336 and legendary implants to 336 too, so im not fully geared either.

[@TheDeadgedd]

the nerf to conquest to fp-1 tokens is uncalled for all it does is slow the grind even more to the point of putting me off playing altogether

[@Morozov97]

I knew something was off about CQ to FP-1 conversions. I haven't played FP's in ages, but still managed to notice the nerf.

[@sarys73]

I miss Reverse Engineering mods. I miss having a bunch of different type of mod configurations. I miss RE gear iun general. This new bunk is not fun at all. It's just run same shit over and over to get more to trage in to get the next tiny as fuck bump increase and repeat. I've only been back for a couple weeks, and the fun ran out the minute the story was over.

[@CephalonKet]

I understand that. I also mostly wait for the story now.

[@JynxedKoma]

Absolutely ridiculous. People should stop grinding for gear, they're clearly copying and pasting WoW's gearing system. Absolutely pointless as they constantly raise it with each update.

[@CephalonKet]

At least it's optional.

[@jorgeplanella9001]

I mean u can always use moded gear, which is not that different than 344 and it’s extremely easy to get

[@bertrodgers2420]

nah, I really like this gearing system. Gives you plenty of goals to grind for if that's what you enjoy and if you don't enjoy it, just stick with 340

[@JynxedKoma]

Well, you're an idiot then because they keep pushing the gear limit higher and higher every update so they can call it "content" by making you grind for gearing mats and season points every second of every hour for months whilst only giving 45 minutes worth of ACTUAL story content to do, which almost all of it is entirely without voice acting now.@@bertrodgers2420

[@duffno1]

@@JynxedKomawhy get on post and call a person an idiot just because you’re hating and they don’t agree with you? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion., even you.
