SWTOR Level 80 Gearing Guide

Gearing up at Level 80 in Star Wars: The Old Republic allows you to hit harder and stay alive longer, by earning and wearing gear that increases your character’s stats. To gear up at Level 80, you earn five different types of currency, which you can then exchange for gear. All players, whether they’re new to max-level and only play solo, or are running the hardest content in the game, can earn the best gear available as of Update 7.5.1 – it just takes longer depending on what type of activities you like to play. In this guide we’ll be going over how to get the different types of currencies, how to exchange them, the different gear tiers that exist, and some general tips about how the system works.

What’s the Best Gear?

When the most recent expansion was originally released, the best gear in the game was locked behind the hardest types of content in the game. This is no longer true, and now even players who play very casually can earn the best gear in the game over time.

The gear you can get is split up in two different ways – by item-rating, and by color quality – if you have two items that are the same item-rating number, but one is green and one is blue, the blue item will have a better distribution of its stats, which makes it the better item to equip. For example, if you have a green piece of damage gear and a purple piece of damage gear with the same item-rating – the green item will put more of its stats into endurance, but since you are a damage player you want to hit harder, not have more health.

The gearing system starts at around item-rating 324 green, and has a max of item-rating 344 Purple. 

How to Get the Best Gear

How to actually get gear is kind of complicated, but the reason it is so complicated is because the game offers you many different ways to gear up – you can really choose your own path and what activities you like to do. Some gear drops directly from enemies, some gear comes from boxes at the end of Flashpoints or Operations, some gear is purchased with currencies you earn from many activities, and some gear is earned by paying currencies to upgrade gear you already own. You can combine all of these different ways and do not need to follow a single gearing path.

Fastest Level 80 Solo Gearing in SWTOR

Casual player (Hyde and Zeek): If you are a casual player who likes the idea of being better geared up, but don’t want to go crazy getting the best gear in the game, your goal will be to get an almost full set of item-rating 340 gear, which once you are done will be a mix of blues and purples. To do this is quite easy, because you will only need to earn ONE item level 340 blue piece, and ONE item-rating 340 purple piece to turn into a special questgiver – you do not need to earn a full set which saves you a ton of time! This method is called the Hyde and Zeek method, and is a really great goal for all players who enjoy playing at Level 80. Once you do this, you’ll actually be able to get unlimited copies for credits for your other characters on your server! Fastest Level 80 Solo Gearing Guide

Fastest Way to Gear Up at Level 80 in SWTOR

Veteran player (Rakata): If you play really often and enjoy chasing down gear, or are doing the hardest content in the game, your goal will be to earn a full set of item-rating 344 Purple Rakata gear. Unlike the Hyde and Zeek method, you will need to manually earn and upgrade each Rakata purple-bordered piece in your equipment up to 344, which can be a long process, but is accessible even to solo casual players over time. Players lookin for full Rakata gear often do the Hyde and Zeek method first, so that they have some decent gear for all their characters available as they chase down their longer-term Rakata set. Fastest Way to Gear Up at Level 80 Guide

Gear Currencies

There are five different types of Level 80 currency. All are useful and can be used to purchase and upgrade Level 80 gear.

You can see your currencies in the Currency tab of your inventory. All these currencies are legacy-ide, which means all your characters on your server share the same currency pool.

Exchange Currencies

Being able to exchange currencies gives you a lot of freedom in deciding how you want to play – even if you are playing the easiest content in the game, you can slowly exchange the easier-to-get currencies for the harder ones, allowing you to eventually purchase and upgrade the best gear while doing easier activities.

Here are the ways to exchange currency for other currencies:

You have...	For	You want...	Exchange
400	for	100	Exchange 400 Conquest Commendations for 100 FP-1 Stabilizers at the Conquest Gear Vendor
2,000	for	175	Exchange 2,000 Conquest Commendations for 175 OP-1 Catalysts at the Conquest Gear Vendor
500	for	175	Exchange 500 FP-1 Stabilizers for 175 OP-1 Catalysts at the Flashpoint Gear Vendor
200	for	200	Exchange 200 WZ-1 Accelerants for 200 Tech Fragments at the PvP Gear Vendor in the Combat section of the Fleet
200	for	200	Exchange 200 Conquest Commendations for 200 Tech Fragments at the Conquest Gear Vendor
200	for	200	Exchange 200 FP-1 Stabilizers for 200 Tech Fragments at the Flashpoint Gear Vendor
200	for	200	Exchange 200 OP-1 Catalysts for 200 Tech Fragments at the Operations Gear Vendor

Buying Gear

As you play, you’ll find some level 80 gear drops directly from enemies or is rewarded from quests. However, the most direct way to get gear is to earn currency, use it to purchase gear from a vendor, and then upgrade that gear using the same type of currency.

Gear Caches

In addition to buying gear and upgrading gear with currency, you can also earn gear.

All enemies in Flashpoints and Operations drop gear of some sort of gear depending on their difficulty type. In addition, [WEEKLY] quests reward a choice of an upgrade cache or additional currency, and these gear caches specifically looks at your gear you have equipped when you open it from your inventory, and gives you an upgrade to your piece with the lowest item-rating, in the same color/quality as the box is. Whether you should choose these as a reward over the currency, or open them or exchange them, all depends on how you are gearing up and what point you are at. Group Guide / Solo Guide

Noble Decurion Distribution Chest: Contains Noble Decurion gear equal in power to your current gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 340. This gear box is a bit different than the others as it is not an “upgrade” box, it just gives you a piece of low-quality gear.

Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache: Contains Elite Decurion armor with an item rating higher than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 340. It’s not recommended to upgrade Elite Decurion gear. The [WEEKLY] mission Veteran Flashpoints rewards a [Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache] (or 130 FP-1 Stabilizers) for completing 3 randomized Veteran Mode Flashpoints through the groupfinder, and can be done 4 times a week.

Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache: Contains Supreme Decurion armor with an item rating higher than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 340. It is recommended to upgrade Supreme Decurion if you are working on your blue Hyde and Zeek 340 piece.

Tionese Upgrade Cache: Contains Tionese armor with an item rating higher than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 340. It’s not recommended to upgrade Tionese gear. Completing a [WEEKLY] story mode operation quest rewards a [Tionese Upgrade Cache] (or 40 Op-1 Catalysts), and each story mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done 4 times per week, for each operation.

Columi Upgrade Cache: Contains Columi armor with an item rating higher than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 340. It’s not recommended to upgrade Columi gear. Completing a [WEEKLY] Veteran mode operation quest rewards a [Columi Upgrade Cache] (or 130 Op-1 Catalysts), and each veteran mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done once per week.

Rakata Upgrade Cache: Contains Rakata armor with an item rating higher than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 324 / Maximum Rating: 344. Rakata gear is the best in the game. Completing a [WEEKLY] Master mode operation quest rewards a [Rakata Upgrade Cache] (or 340 Op-1 Catalysts), and each master mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done once per week.

Thyrsian Upgrade Cache: Contains Thyrsian armor with a higher item rating than your lowest equipped piece of gear. Item rating will be within the below ratings: Minimum Rating: 322 / Maximum Rating: 336. Note Thyrsian gear can only be upgraded to a max of 336 gear and upgrades from green to blue to purple. This is from the weekly PvP quests.

Exchange Gear Caches

In Update 7.5.1, the ability to exchange gear caches for better ones was introduced. The [WEEKLY] quests give you a choice between choosing an Upgrade box or currency, but if you are working on the best gear in the game, which one you should choose depends on your current gear and what activities you are playing if you want to be efficient. Group Guide / Solo Guide

You have...	For	You want...	Exchange
x3	for	x1	Exchange 3 Elite Decurion Upgrade Caches from veteran flashpoints for 1 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache at the Flashpoint Gear Vendor.
x3	for	x1	Exchange 3 Supreme Decurion Upgrade Caches from master flashpoints for one Columi Upgrade Cache at the Flashpoint Gear Vendor.
x3	for	x1	Exchange 3 Tionese Upgrade Caches from story mode Operations for one Columi Upgrade Cache at the Operations Gear Vendor.
x3	for	x1	Exchange 3 Columi Upgrade Caches from veteran mode Operations for 1 Rakata Upgrade Cache at the Operations Gear Vendor.
x3	for	x1	In a future update, the developer said you will be able to exchange 3 Thyrsian Upgrade Caches from PvP for 1 Columi Upgrade Cache.

Noble Decurion Distribution Chest can’t be exchange for anything. Just open it while wearing your highest-item-rating gear.

Rakata Upgrade Cache is already the best type of gear in the game, so it can’t be exchanged for anything. Save it and open it once you have optimized your other gear to get the best results from this valuable box.

Hyde & Zeek

Hyde and Zeek are an efficient way of gearing up, and a step on the path to the best gear in the game. Hyde and Zeek Guide

Hyde and Zeek Guide

Augments

Augments are a way of upgrading your gear even more. It’s recommend to augment your gear once you have reached the highest item-rating and quality you plan to get so you don’t waste augment kits while upgrading.

WARNING: when turning in gear for upgrades, it will consume the augment, so make sure to pull out your augment before upgrading it in this expansion!

SWTOR Augments Guide

Tacticals

Players can also purchase Tacticals to fill the final slot in their equipment, starting at level 75-80.

Tactical Items Guide in SWTOR

Deconstructing Gear

No matter what type of content you’re playing, you’ll wind up with extra gear you don’t need. Once you’ve figured out which pieces you want to upgrade, and which pieces you want to save or not save for your other characters, the rest of the gear is considered leftovers and you can deconstruct it to get more currencies. To deconstruct something, have it in your inventory, then click the “broken lightsaber” in on the top left of your inventory, then right-click the item you want to deconstruct. After deconstructing, make sure to click the Collect Materials button. Each type of gear will give you a different reward for deconstructing it – some of the rewards will be currency in your Currency tab, some will be Materials that go in your Materials tab, and occasionally you might get items that wind up in your inventory.

Activities

Conquest, Heroics and Dailies

The first and most basic set of gear you can buy is called Conquest gear, and is purchased with the Conquest Commendation currency earned by completing Conquest, Heroic Quests, and Daily Area Quests.

To get a full starter set of Conquest gear, which would be green-bordered item-rating 324 gear and is called Noble Decurion, you’ll need exactly 200 Conquest Commendations and a little over 250,000 credits.

Conquest Commendations are a type of currency which can be earned through a variety of ways, but the main way is by completing Conquest each week. When you complete Conquest by completing activities of your choice listed in the Objectives area of the Conquest panel, then you’ll get 200 of the Conquest Commendations currency as a reward for earning 100,000 conquest points on your character. You can do this on up to five characters a week, for a total of 1,000 Conquest Commendations per week, so getting this currency is pretty easy. You can see how many Conquest Commendations you have by clicking the Currency tab at the top of your inventory.

After you get your first set of Conquest gear, you can upgrade it piece-by-piece at the Conquest gear Upgrades vendor. Upgrading beyond 324 green conquest gear is a lot more expensive that purchase your first set, as each upgrade will cost you the original gear piece, 15-25 Conquest Commendations, and even more credits.

TIP: The original idea of this gear when it was first released was to offer a path for solo players to gear up. However, now there are paths for even casual solo players to eventually earn the best gear in the game. There’s no real need to upgrade an entire set of Conquest gear! Group players should check out the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide, and solo players should check out the Fastest way to gear up solo guide.

Flashpoints

You can also gear up through Flashpoints, and it’s considered a great way to gear up for both group players and solo players.

Flashpoints

You get huge amount of FP-1 Stabilizers, the Flashpoint currency,  by completing the Flashpoint weekly quests. These can easily be found on the glowing blue terminal in the Combat Training section of the fleet.

The easier Flashpoint weekly, called [WEEKLY] Veteran Flashpoints, rewards a guaranteed 30 FP-1 Stabilizers, plus either an Elite Decurion Upgrade Cache or 130 FP-1 Stabilizers. To complete this weekly quest, you must complete 3 randomized Veteran Mode Flashpoints through the groupfinder, and can be done 4 times a week.

[WEEKLY] mission Galactic Conflicts, as it rewards 50 FP-1 Stabilizers, plus the choice of either a Supreme Decurion Upgrade Cache or 310 FP-1 Stabilizers. To complete this weekly quest, you must complete 2 randomized Master Mode Flashpoints from the groupfinder, and can be done 4 times a week.

While you are completing those, also pick up the [WEEKLY] Searching for Allies quest for some free Tech Fragments, which can be done 3 times a week!

Each boss will also drop a few FP-1 Stabilizers, and disintegrating any extra gear you get from the Flashpoints will earn you ever more FP-1 Stabilizers.

If you prefer solo activities, both Heroics and Daily Areas also reward a ton of FP-1 Stabilizers. Completing either set of heroics for a planet, for example Heroic Missions: Alderaan, or completing a [WEEKLY] for any of the daily areas, will earn you the choice of either a low-quality gear box or 25 FP-1 Stabilizers. In addition, each quest will give you some Conquest Commendations, which you can exchange for more FP-1 Stabilizers.

Flashpoint Vendor & Upgrade Vendor

Veteran Flashpoints

Veteran Flashpoints are the easiest type of group content, as not a lot of skill is needed to pass them. There’s three ways to get gear from Veteran Flashpoints.

• The gear that drops from Veteran Flashpoint bosses will be green Elite Decurion gear, and will have the same item-rating as a current piece of gear you have, with a minimum drop of green 324 and a maximum drop of green 340. If you are very lucky, Veteran bosses have a small chance of dropping a blue Supreme Decurion item which you can’t normally get from Veteran flashpoints. (This lucky drop may only be for accessories, which ar earpieces, implants and relics – though you don’t want the implants, since you would rather use the Legendary Implants.)
• If you complete the [WEEKLY] Veteran Flashpoints quest, which asks you to complete 3 Veteran Flashpoints via the Group Finder with no Flashpoints filtered out, you’ll receive:
  
  • 100 Tech Fragments
  • 30 FP-1 Stabilizers
  • And the choice of:
    • A special upgrade special box with a green Elite Decurion Guaranteed Upgrade, determined by the slot with the lowest item rating of your equipment, up to item-rating 340 green (or 340 blue if it happens to be an accessory)
    • or 130 FP-1 Stabilizers
• You can complete the Flashpoint Veteran Mode Groupfinder weekly quest can be completed up to 4 times per week per character
• You can upgrade your green Elite Decurion gear up to 336 by bringing your Flashpoint gear to the Flashpoint upgrades vendor. Upgrading your gear costs the original piece, credits, and a large pile of FP-1 Stabilizers, which come from Flashpoint bosses. There are other, better gearing paths available though.
• Each boss drops either a piece of gear or 3-4 FP-1 Stabilizers in Veteran Mode
• Deconstructing green Elite Decurion gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags,and 6 FP-1 Stabilizers
• You can also buy Elite Decurion gear directly from the Flashpoint Gear Vendor in the Supplies section of the Fleet, though it is not recommended as there is better gear available.
• Don’t forget these currencies can be exchanged for other currencies, and if you collect 3 of these boxes, you can upgrade them to a box one tier up.
• View the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide if you plan on playing Veteran Flashpoints through he groupfinder for gear, or check out the Fastest way to gear up solo guide for running Veteran flashpoints alone to gear up

Master Mode Flashpoints

Master Mode Flashpoints are on the harder side of things, so players looking to jump into them, especially through the groupfinder, will want to have first tried out their veteran mode counterparts and be comfortable playing their class, though not a lot of gear is needed to run them. For players who don’t plan on playing Operations, Master Mode flashpoints offer the next-best gear, and for skilled players who do plan to jump into harder operations, Master Mode Flashpoints is a good starting point for gearing after picking up a cheap set of 324 green conquest gear and then ignoring the conquest track altogether.

• The gear that drops from Master Flashpoint bosses will be blue Supreme Decurion gear, and will have the same item-rating as a current piece of gear you already have, with a minimum drop of blue 324 and a maximum of blue 340.
• If you complete the [WEEKLY] Galactic Conflict quest, which asks you to complete 2 Master Flashpoints via the Group Finder with no Flashpoints filtered out, you’ll receive:

  

  • 200 Tech Fragments
  • 50 FP-1 Stabilizers
  • And the choice of:
    • A special upgrade special box with a blue Supreme Decurion Guaranteed Upgrade, determined by the slot with the lowest item rating of your equipment, up to item-rating 340 blue
    • or 310 FP-1 Stabilizers
• You can upgrade your blue Supreme Decurion gear to 340 by bringing your Flashpoint gear to the Flashpoint upgrades vendor. Upgrading your gear costs the original piece, credits, and a large pile of FP-1 Stabilizers, which come from Flashpoint bosses and the weekly Master Mode quest.
• Deconstructing blue Supreme Decurion gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, 15 FP-1 Stabilizers
• If you are having trouble getting a specific piece, you can buy it directly from the Flashpoint Gear Vendor in the Supplies section of the Fleet
• Don’t forget these currencies can be exchanged for other currencies, and if you collect 3 of these boxes, you can upgrade them to a box one tier up.
• View the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide if you plan on playing Master Flashpoints through he groupfinder for gear, or check out the Fastest way to gear up solo guide for really skilled players looking to solo flashpoints alone to gear up

Operations

There are two ways to get Operation gear.

The first is as a drop from an Operation bosses. There are three tiers of Operations gear that drops, depending on whether you are playing Story, Veteran or Master Mode operations.

The second is from the Operation Gear Vendor with the OP-1 Catalysts currency earned through Operations. You can also exchange other currencies for OP-1 Catalysts.

No matter how you got your Operation gear piece, you can then upgrade it at the Operations Gear Upgrades vendor, though it may be more efficient to only upgrade Rakata operations gear.

You get huge amount of Op-1 Catalysts by completing the Operation weekly quests. These can easily be found on the glowing blue terminal in the Supplies section of the fleet.

• Story Mode: Completing a [WEEKLY] Story mode operation quest rewards a Tionese Upgrade Cache or 40 OP-1 Catalysts, and each story mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done 4 times per week, for each operation.
• Veteran Mode: Completing a [WEEKLY] Veteran mode operation quest rewards a Columi Upgrade Cache or 130 OP-1 Catalysts, and each veteran mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done once per week.
• Master Mode: Completing a [WEEKLY] Master mode operation quest rewards a RakataUpgrade Cache or 340 OP-1 Catalysts, and each master mode [WEEKLY] quest can be done once per week.

Each boss will also drop some Op-1 Catalysts, depending on the difficulty level.

The newest operation, the R-4 Anomaly Operation, offers its own strange and separate gearing system.

Story Mode Operations

Gear from story mode operations is pretty lack-luster compared to what you can get from every other method.

• The gear that drops from Story Mode Operation Bosses will be green Tionese gear, and will have the same item-rating as a current piece of gear you have, with a minimum drop of green 324 and a maximum of green 340. Operation bosses also have a small lucky chance of dropping a blue implant, relic or earpiece of the same item-rating which you can’t normally get from Story Operations, for a maximum of 340 blue Columi gear for those specific pieces.
• If you complete a [WEEKLY] Story Mode Operation quest, which asks you to complete all the bosses in a specific Operation, you’ll get:
  
  • 20 OP-1 Catalysts
  • And the choice of:
    • A special upgrade special box with a green Tionese Guaranteed Upgrade, determined by the slot with the lowest item rating of your equipment, up to item-rating 340 green
    • or 40 OP-1 Catalysts
• You can complete the Story Mode Operation weeklies up to 4 times per week per character.
• You can upgrade your green Tionese gear by bringing your Tionese Operation gear to the Operation upgrades vendor. Upgrading your gear costs the original piece, credits, and a large pile of OP-1 Catalyst, which come from Operation bosses and from the [WEEKLY] Story Mode Operation quests. I do not recommend upgrading your story mode operation Tionese gear as it is a waste of currency compared to the other tracks.
• Deconstructing green Tionese gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, 3-9 OP-1 Catalysts
• Story mode operations are not a great place to get gear directly, but since you can run them quickly and easily, they are a great way to earn the OP-1 Catalyst currency – you get a handful from the weekly quest, 1-2 from each boss if you get a lucky drop, and a nice pile from deconstructing any gear you get from the bosses.
• If you are having trouble getting a specific piece, you can buy it directly from the Operations Gear Vendor in the Supplies section of the Fleet at item-rating 324 green but it is not recommended. Green gear is considered very sub-par and there are better things to buy with your currency.
• Don’t forget these currencies can be exchanged for other currencies, and if you collect 3 of these boxes, you can upgrade them to a box one tier up.
• View the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide if you plan on playing Operations for the best use of this gear or how to take advantage of Story Mode operations.

Veteran Mode Operations

Gear from veteran mode operations is the second-best in the game, and is on-par with what you can get from Master Mode flashpoints.

• The gear that drops from Veteran Mode Operation Bosses will be blue Columi gear, and will have the same item-rating as a current piece of gear you have, with a minimum drop of blue 324 and a maximum of blue 340. Also has a small chance of getting lucky and dropping a purple item of the same item-rating which you can’t normally get from Veteran Operations, for a maximum of 340 purple Rakata gear. (From what I understand, it’s the implant, relics, and earpiece that you might get lucky with only – not the rest of the gear. And the implants you don’t even want since you want the Legendary Implants instead…)
• If you complete a [WEEKLY] Veteran Mode Operation quest, which asks you to complete all the bosses in a specific Operation, you’ll get:

  

  • 65 OP-1 Catalysts
  • And the choice of:
    • A special upgrade special box with a blue Columi Guaranteed Upgrade, determined by the slot with the lowest item rating of your equipment, up to item-rating 340 blue (or 340 purple Rakata if it happens to be an accessory)
    • or 130 OP-1 Catalysts
• You can complete the Veteran Mode Operation weeklies up to 1 time per week per character.
• You can upgrade your blue Columi gear by bringing your veteran Operation gear to the Operation upgrades vendor. Upgrading your gear costs the original piece, credits, and a large pile of OP-1 Catalyst, which come from Operation bosses and from the [WEEKLY] Veteran Mode Operation quests which reward 65 OP-1 Catalyst. I do not recommend upgrading your story mode operation Tionese gear as it is a waste of currency compared to the other tracks, for example blue Flashpoint pieces are the same stats and much cheaper, or you could save your OP-1 currency for purple Rakata pieces and upgrades.
• Make sure you have 110% accuracy before going in to Veteran operations if you can if you are a damage player. The damage checks for many fights are almost double compared to their story mode counterparts, so you need to make sure you are hitting the boss by reaching the 110% accuracy threshold on your gear via gear pieces or augments.
• Deconstructing blue Columi gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, 8 OP-1 Catalysts
• If you are having trouble getting a specific piece, you can buy it directly from the Operations Gear Vendor in the Supplies section of the Fleet at item-rating 324 blue, but it is not recommended.
• Don’t forget these currencies can be exchanged for other currencies, and if you collect 3 of these boxes, you can upgrade them to a box one tier up.
• View the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide if you plan on playing Operations for the best use of this gear or how to take advantage of Veteran Mode operations.

Master Mode Operations

Gear from master mode operations is the best in the game.

• The gear that drops from Master Mode Operation Bosses will be purple Rakata gear, and will have the same item-rating as a current piece of gear you have, with a minimum drop of purple 324 and a maximum of purple 340 (you would need to upgrade to the final tier, 344, at the vendor).
• If you complete a [WEEKLY] Master Mode Operation quest, which asks you to complete all the bosses in a specific Operation, you’ll get:

  

  • 175 OP-1 Catalysts
  • And the choice of:
    • A special upgrade special box with a purple Rakata Guaranteed Upgrade, determined by the slot with the lowest item rating of your equipment, up to item-rating 344 Rakata
    • or 340 OP-1 Catalysts
• You can complete the Master Mode Operation weeklies up to 1 time per week per character.
• You can upgrade your purple Rakata gear by bringing your master Operation gear to the Operation upgrades vendor. Upgrading your gear costs the original piece, credits, and a large pile of OP-1 Catalyst, which come from Operation bosses and from the [WEEKLY] Master Mode Operation quests which reward 175 OP-1 Catalyst.
• If you are choosing Rakata gear to pay to upgrade, you may want to research more into min-maxing so you don’t waste time or resources upgrading the wrong pieces.
• Don’t forget, even if you aren’t able to run Master Mode operations, you can still get lucky and get the purple Master mode drops from Veteran Mode ops and upgrade them over time!
• Deconstructing purple Rakata gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, and 15 OP-1 Catalysts
• If you are having trouble getting a specific piece, you can buy it directly from the Operations Gear Vendor in the Supplies section of the Fleet at item-rating 324 purple.
• View the Fastest Way to Gear Up guide if you plan on playing Operations for the best use of this gear or how to take advantage of Master Mode operations.

Story Mode R-4 Anomaly

The R-4 Anomaly operation in Story Mode has a different set of drops compared to any other operation.

In Story Mode, each boss will reward each member of the operation an R4 Gear Token: Story. These tokens can be brought to a vendor and exchanged for blue gear at item rating 328. Players can use additional story mode tokens and credits to upgrade their gear pieces to a maximum item rating of blue 330. The vendor also has cosmetic versions of the gear, so don’t be confused when you visit the vendor.

Veteran Mode R-4 Anomaly

The R-4 Anomaly operation in Story Mode has a different set of drops both blue gear and purple gear.

Hazardous Gear (Blue, Maximum Item Rating: 340)

In Story Mode, each boss will reward each member of the operation an R4 Gear Token: Veteran. These tokens can be brought to a vendor and exchanged for Prototype gear at item rating 332. Players can use additional blue veteran mode tokens and credits to upgrade their gear pieces to a maximum item rating of 340. The vendor also has cosmetic versions of the gear, so don’t be confused when you visit the vendor.

Virulent Gear (Purple, Maximum Item Rating: 340)

In addition, bosses will drop two purple R4 Gear Tokens for the entire group, so not everyone gets one, but they can be traded amongst the group. These purple tokens are specific per-boss, and can be exchanged on a vendor for a piece of Artifact purple gear at item rating 340, the very vest in the game.

Here is the list of Boss Tokens and the gear slots they purchase:

Boss 1 – IP-CPT

• Head
• Waist
• Relic

Boss 2 – Watchdog

• Legs
• Wrists
• Relic

Boss 3 – Lord Kanoth

• Chest
• Offhand
• Earpiece

Boss 4 – Lady Dominique

• Feet
• Hands
• Mainhand

Implants do not drop, as you are meant to get your Legendary Implants instead.

Virulent 340 gear can then be taken to the R-4 Veteran Exchange vendor on the fleet, and the exchange costs R-4 Veteran Gear Tokens, OP-1 Catalysts and Credits, so you can eventually upgrade it to 344 Rakata, the current best gear in the game.

PvP

Gearing up through PvP is slightly different, as you can get all your PvP gear form the same track, and the track progresses naturally from green to blue to purple. At the moment, purple PvP gear is about the same as purple gear you could get from Operations. You may notice that the PvP track only goes up to purple 336, but the Rakata track goes up to purple 344… luckily, PvP matches have a gear cap on them, so players who jump into PvP with their operations set shouldn’t have an advantage over max-geared PvP players. All PvP gear is called Thyrsian gear and goes from green 322 up to purple 336.

You can get PvP gear through three different way:

• WZ-1 Accelerants: Completing Weekly PvP missions will earn you a new type of currency called WZ-1 Accelerants. These can be turned in for a base set of 322 PvP gear, and each piece of starter PvP gear costs between 40 to 55 WZ-1 Accelerants, earned through PvPing or Galactic Starfighter. Once you have at least one piece of PvP gear it looks like you can keep upgrading it through the vendors using the WZ-1 Accelerants that you earned. Nothing will show up on the Upgrades vendor until you have at least one piece of PvP gear from the starter PvP vendor. The upgrade vendor will allow you to upgrade all the way up to 336 purple Thyrsian pvp gear. You do not get any WZ-1 Accelerants just from playing PvP, you must win 4 matches within the week and complete the weekly to get any WZ-1 Accelerants at all. You can run the Weekly a total of 3 times per character per week. You can also get WZ-1 Accelerants from the Galactic Starfighter weekly which requires 4 matches played.
• Upgrade Box: Completing Weekly PvP missions will also earn you a box with a guaranteed upgrade, which requires you to complete the weekly for PvP or GSF, and you can run that weekly 3 times per character per week. I would definitely recommend picking up the almost-free set of 324 Conquest gear before opening any of these upgrade boxes, allow you to skip past getting 322/324 PvP gear and causing you to get a guaranteed piece of 326 Thyrsian gear when you open an upgrade box! If you happen to be running any other content, for example Flashpoints, and have gotten higher than 322, make sure to keep that on hand when opening PvP boxes too.
• Galactic Starfighter: You can also get WZ-1 Accelerants and a guaranteed Thyrsian pvp gear upgrade from the Galactic Starfighter weekly, which requires 4 matches played, with wins counting double. You can run the GSF Weekly a total of 3 times per character per week. Since the GSF weekly doesn’t require wins, it’s a lot easier to gear up through Galactic Starfigher for PvP than it is to gear up through normal PvP. Galactic Starfigher is very active right now due to this.
• As all PvP comes directly from guaranteed upgrades from the boxes and from direct purchases from the vendor, you shouldn’t be deconstructing items much at all until you hit full purple 328 and start getting duplicates. Deconstructing extra Thyrsian gear gets you WZ-1 Accelerants.
• If you are gearing solely through PvP, once you hit item-rating 332 and have two extra pieces of 332, visit Hyde & Zeek to unlock 332 moddable items for all the characters on your server!

Hyde & Zeek

If you have a high item-rating blue or purple piece to destroy, you can unlock mods from the Hyde & Zeek questgiver. If you sacrifice a blue 336 item, and a purple 336 item, you can easily buy mods that add up to the equivalent of 336 purple Rakata gear, which makes gearing up alts and filling in gear gaps a breeze.

OP-1 Catalyst

Here’s how to earn OP-1 Catalyst.

Each Operation weekly from the operations terminal rewards a certain number of OP-1 Catalysts.

• Single-boss operations like Toborro give 0
• Story Mode Operations = 20  OP-1 Catalyst (plus a box with a Tionese gear piece or 40 OP-1 Catalysts)
• Veteran Mode Operations = 65 OP-1 Catalyst (plus a box with a Columi gear piece or 1310 OP-1 Catalysts)
• Master Mode Operations = 175 OP-1 Catalyst (plus a box with a Rakata gear piece or 310 OP-1 Catalysts)

I didn’t keep good track but I think I got one from each story mode operation boss I fought as well including Toborro.

• Story Mode Boss Drop = 1-2, but not always (I ran a full story Operation and did not get any directly from the bosses, but saw my friends get some)
• Veteran Mode Boss Drop = 3-4 I think I saw drop?
• Master Mode Boss Drop = ??? [[I keep forgetting to check lol]]

Deconstructing operation gear is the final way to get these.

• Deconstructing green Tionese gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, 3-9 OP-1 Catalysts
• Deconstructing blue Columi gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, 8 OP-1 Catalysts
• Deconstructing purple Rakata gear yields… 3-6 Tech Frags, and 15 OP-1 Catalysts

You can hold up to 1,200 at once, and earn up to 3,000 in a week.

You can also exchange Conquest Commendations and FP-1 Stabilizers for OP-1 Catalysts.

WZ-1 Accelerants

Here’s how to earn WZ-1 Accelerants. WZ-1 Accelerants only come from the weeklies for PvP. There is no other way to get them.

• Daily: 0 WZ-1 Accelerant (1 win)
• Weekly: 55 WZ-1 Accelerant (4 wins)
• GSF Daily: 0 WZ-1 Accelerant
• GSF Weekly: 60 WZ-1 Accelerant

Tech Fragments

Tech Fragments come from various quests and individual enemies.

• Completing your personal conquest grants 500 Tech Fragments.
• Any individual daily or heroic mission grants 30 tech fragments for each mission.
• The “[WEEKLY] Searching for Allies” quest to complete 3 random Flashpoints via the Group Finder with no Flashpoints filtered out gets you 300 tech frags, and just running through the Group Finder in general gets you a pile of tech fragments, especially as Veteran Flashpoint Bosses drop around 60 each too.
• You can get 2,000 Tech Fragments total from running all the bosses in a Story Mode operation.
• You can get 850 Tech Fragments from the Galactic Starfighter weekly to run 4 matches, with wins counting double.
• You can get 1,500 Tech Fragments from the PvP weekly to run 12 matches, with wins counting triple.

• Cosmetic Armor

Stats & Min-Maxing

Players who want the best-of-the-best will want to work on min-maxing their gear, and getting the best stat distribution they can. In this expansion, there are no mods or enhancements, so you must instead mix and match different sets to get the optimal tertiary stat distribution.

Players looking to do Veteran Mode and Master Mode operations will especially want to focus on getting at least 110% accuracy, even if they don’t plan to spend a lot of time min-maxing, as without 110% accuracy you may not even be “hitting” the bosses. If you are purchasing gear from a vendor, make sure to choose the “All” option from the dropdown at the top of the vendor, which will allow you to mix-and-match pieces from different sets to get that 110% accuracy. Don’t forget you can use augments to reach that if you need it.

Use this chart to see recommendations from the SWTOR Theorycrafter’s Discord on which Tactical you should get, which Legendaries you should buy, and what stats in your gear you are aiming for. View a bigger version here.
