Buying the Defiant Mender MK-26 (Synthweaving) (Republic) Armor Set from the GTN with Credits

Pieces of the Defiant Mender MK-26 (Synthweaving) (Republic) set can be found on the GTN, which is an auction house where players can buy and sell unbound items. To find the GTN at level 10 or higher, look for the Galactic Trade Network section of the Republic or Imperial Fleet.

It can sometimes be difficult to find specific pieces on the GTN, especially because this armor set can only be crafted by Synthweavers who have reverse engineered the schematic. If you don't see the pieces you want listed, you can look for other pieces of the set and try mailing the player who crafted it to trade with them, as some crafters try and collect all the schematics in the game and might have the pieces you are looking for.
