Gear mods

You definitely get loot, but no xp for killing mobs. You do get XP for killing each boss, completing the FP, and you should pick up the daily FP quest at the fleet.

I ran a FP once each day starting as soon as I was high enough level to be eligible for the next FP. That way you end up stockpiling orange gear with blue quality mods for about 4 levels, then you can put them on. I updated my gear with all blues every 4 levels doing this.

Hi, first time posting here although I've been reading these forums since my wow boxing days.

I've been boxing swtor since early access (Dec 2011) and have several teams both Imperials and Republics on the Beregen Colony RP server across 8 accounts (all subs)

I'm also a heavy crafter and have all the crafting professions maxed, each having pretty much all the known schematics (except for the level 50 schematics which drop in Operations) for Moddable Orange gear and Purple gear, armorments, mods, enhancements and augments.

Although I can probably craft seperate gear for all my characters from level 9ish to 50 without breaking a sweat (got around 500mil total), I don't like wasteing the purple armorments, mods, enchancements and augments I've made for each character and re-use them over and over.

However, to do this you'll need a Legacy level of at least 10 (mine are all 25+, easy when you have a couple 50's 4-man teams doing dailies everyday ) and buy 8 to 9 Legacy Bound gear sold on Drumund Kaas (for Imperials) or Coruscant (for Republic).

When a character out-grows a set of purple mods, I just send them the empty Legacy bound gear, have them put the old mods in them, send them to my level 50 banker character (since the character replacing the mods has to be at the level or higher to put mods into gear), replace them with the upgrades and send them back to the character who will pull them out and put them in his gear. Rinse and repeat till level 50.

Although this only works for characters on the same account. ( I have all my Tanks on my main or second account )
