Don't worry I play solo as well I love this game as I can be extremely anti social. My guild I'm with is great as they know I play alot and help them so they don't bother me ever
@@garethjolnir4656 concealment because when you roll when the 2nd boss ( robot ) does his ultimate attack it usually one shots but with operatives they dodge the full blast and all you do is keep running it over and over usually takes 10 min per run for a bunch of loot
I ran the new flashpoint - Spirit of Vengeance - and even in Solo/Story mode I got 4 or 5 pieces of gear that were actually upgrades. Oddly the final boss dropped nothing for me, but the other bosses all dropped some pretty decent stuff.
Ever since the last update the last boss seems bugged, she used to drop normal gear (and sometimes a decoration), but since that update she only drops level 270 max for me even when I am on a 306 character.
Thank you Swtorista for all your guides. Even though it is for a new player very confusing at times with everything that you can do in this masterpiece of a game. You do help with such great vids and how-to's. Keep up the great work. You are one of the few people that actually care for the new(er) players. Thank you.
Coming back about a week after watching this the first time, I gotta thank you big time for this. Currently farming tech fragments to buy mods for my set bonus gear from the SoW vendor. Started with 280 rating last week, now at 300!
I only started playing recently (because of your vids) , and I think I was already in a video! I believe I was hanging in the republic fleet as usual when I saw my self in this video.
Not only in SWTOR but why does MMO's seem, lonely now? Maybe I am projecting the times when we had huge populations but it is sad though. Thank god for Swtorista and Aravail who keeps uploading content!
I know it's not truly "solo" but queueing for an story uprising group and playing with 3 other random players of any class is a super easy way to get gear. Even with the difficulty increase they're so easy you're basically in a constant sprint to get to the next enemy. 3-5 minutes and you have a handful of new gear and tech fragments. The only human interaction you have to make is an optional "GG" or "Thanks" at the end. Galactic Starfighter also gives great Tech Fragments in their Weekly+Daily missions, and you still progress even if you lose. Since I suck at it and the game is easily dominated by full time starfighters I just realize that my job is to bait the enemy into the range of my skilled friendlies (or we all die and you get points anyway). Again the only human interaction you need is an optional "GG" at the end.
Duuude, what ship do you use in GSF? Try Bomber if you still haven't. Droping mines/repairs/respawn beacon is a great way to assist and, with little luck, do some damage >:)
nice!!! have fun!!!! If you guys haven't started playing yet make sure to check this out to save some stress swtorista.com/articles/playing-swtor-with-a-friend/
SWTOR Gearing System is totally Insane. For Compare, in World Of Warcraft you only suffer, suffer, suffer and suffer. By spending time in useless Grind. Grinding artefact weapon power, grinding neckless power, grinding mythic energy's for class hall, grinding resources for stupid minions, grinding hero mode dungeons for a dumb box with random item.... Just believe me as a WOW Veteran. That's a total suffering. But look at SWTOR.! Its like a magick. You log in? Get one. You make a craft task? Get one. Run with Guild? Ok, receive and enjoy. Make a PvP Daily? Get next. And next, next, next. For every step in game you get a reward. Looks like... Hey dud, you make a deep breath? Get your loot box for free. SWTOR is obviously most from all games that have a Player Friendly World. And? It Is Great!
There's something very relaxing about Onderon to me, best place to do dailies and unwind doing stuff you know might be tedious, but the scenery and feel of the map makes it much better. Mek-Sha in contrast gave me a headache.
This series helped me out a lot when I first started playing, and you’re still making videos helping people to this day. And I’m still learning some new things from these videos I overlooked. So I just want to say thank you for the videos and guides :) also I am curious, as I am still a solo player, do you have a guild? Or a guild you would recommend?
Thanks for the guide! I love coming back to the game and your guides really help me out to stay up to date. I hope the game continous for another 10 years
little tip, alongside having your current maximum item rating gear on before you receive and open another award box or loot drop, make sure you have amplifiers that actually benefit you, the more of these are of the same type and quality (minimum white and green to glorious gold.) the better. this counts for all Mission rewards, flashpoint rewards, and so on when stacked across your amplifiers will make things much easier, the improvement of steadily gaining better gear is beyond considerable, it is only rather costly in terms of credits. everything else gained can be broken down for more fragments or even pulled apart (and then sold) for upgrades inside the gear or weapons that are currently better then what you had on hand. this method works outside of crafting and outside of difficulty, you can do whatever you want and still benefit.
Massive thanks. Just hit 75 with my first character yesterday. I had no idea that there was gear above 268. I got a piece of 268 in a Conquest drop but it was something I couldn't use. Now I know I need to push on. And I was so proud of my Artifice lightsabers. Still, I'm enjoying the story. And now I know what that bar that replaced XP is all about. Ps. I see that Artifice allows for making some sort of supply box. These seem to be something to aid a guild making Conquest? If a certain guild needs a little more of that ...
So those supply boxes are something totally different. You can read a little about them in the crafting part of this guide: swtorista.com/articles/super-easy-conquest-objectives-solo-conquest-crafting/
I can see doing flashpoints with a single friend, because you can BOTH use heroic moment and two dps with two healing companions, one healer and one dps/tank with two dps companions, etc. seem like it might actually be pretty fun.
@@Swtorista There are so many combinations of duo you could do! Perhaps even have two dps players with one healer and one tank companion, but companion threat isn't exactly stellar, so that would take some finesse, especially with groups of enemies. Companion aoe taunt has a cd and radius as you know, so clever positioning and use of the passive button might be needed, so the companion stays with you and you can line of sight to group them all up.
Very timely, I just got my tactical and first 2 sniper set pieces, but only at IR 274 still :(. I think I have a loooong, loooooong road ahead in a galaxy faaaar, faaaar away! :)
I'm preferring to play solo. Before "conquest" I ended up with character by the end of chapter 3 with item level just above 200. "conquests" start with level 10. Since then I make sure to run up the 50k points needed and then I stop that char and switch to an alt char to do the same. I usually concentrated on a max number of 4 chars on the account. I spread them in such a way that I was aiming for all available buffs. Using that way I reached level 75 about 4 planets before the end of chapter 3. This got me to reach item level 270 well before the end of the 3rd chapter. This way a lot of golden gear sets dropped (those that you can buy for 3k tech fragments plus 1m credits). (I never knew that golden gear existed before that happened the first time.) The other guy is then used by me to get the 2 to 3 upgrades to this adaptable armor to go at least up to 300. When you prefer to play solo, it is not necessary to gear up. You can do all of the campaign with gear that has lower item level. And for using those vendors you need to be 75. BTW I checked this with a new account on another server. It really works with just levelling up. Picking up the dailies. I don't do crafting (just 3 collector skills for selling that crap - raised more than 100m credits on my first server and account). On the new server my highest Sith is level 71 and reached 9,200 tech fragments (as 10k fragments is the limit, I need to restrain getting fragments until I reach level 75 with her - after that I'll start shopping). I have proven to myself that you can speed up levelling and gaining ressources for later upgearing by doing the "conquest" every week up to 50k points. Than switching to an alt to do the same. After the fourth char, I'll only pick the daily rewards and advance the skills (which sometimes even awards additional XP or levels). Than wait for the restart on next weeks "conquest". It works for me. I'll be level 75 (+ 10 to 20 additional renown levels) and item level 270+ before the end of chapter 3 (those with individual storylines). No flashpoints or other jobs necessary. Some tasks on conquests are legacy bound - like the taxi ride (you had one that day on another char, you won't get points until the next day). Check the description. It may tell you. Have fun and success! Stay healthy!
I just finished recording/editing my agent's playthrough half an hour ago and I was about to start gearing my max level agent solo so the timing of this video is beyond perfect. Thanks! edit: I didn't know about the spoils of war vendor so that's already 3 ilvl gained from there, thanks for the tip!
I'll check out your playthrough when I get home from work. I've been uploading a Sith Inquisitor playthrough. She's only at level 32 so when I land on a new planet I try to bang out all the heroics and side quests before playing the story quests.
Thank you very much for making this video and your written guide. I'd been looking for a guide that has ways of getting gear other than flashpoints, operations, and offering up my 1st born on the GTN :-). One question I had while I was watching this video. You stated that it's not recommended to disintegrate anything you get from leveling Renown points. I admit that I've never had much luck with RNGs so after a brief period of time getting great updates (that is from item level 202 to item level 268 in a single weekend), I'm now seeing a slump in what I'm getting from Renown levels. Most of the gear are pieces I'm getting are either the same level as I already have or sometimes lower level gear. Occasionally, I get gear that contain mods that are upgrades to the mods I have. With those I take the higher level mods out and replace one or more of the lower level mods I have. For the rest, I'd been disintegrating them for a very small amount of Tech Frags. Apart from keeping the gear to possibly give to one of my alts, are there any other reasons not to disintegrate the gear you get from Renown levels? I'm at Item level 276 now and I'm about to start the "Jedi Under Siege" portion of the Onslaught expansion. I'm also curious it I could expect to get higher level gear from Ossus, Onderon, and/or Mek-Sha since I'm already above 268 gear level? Again, thanks so much for this video. I've always found your videos and guides extremely helpful.
hey!! the idea is you get more "worth" to take the item out of the renown stash into your inventory and "deconstruct" it in your inventory. I know the terms disintegrate/deconstruct are hard to distinguish I get them mixed up a lot.
How I miss KSE (kotor save editor) these times, instead of this grinding bs I could just spawn all of the best items to my inventory, unlimited credits and I could focus only on the story. I miss those simple times, but anyways that's what we got and thanks for the video, it is quite useful.
When I quit in 2012, my main character capped at level 50 and spent 100's of hours on the best gear at that time. Yay, I get to add another 25 levels, but I'm willing to bet all my gear is garbage now. Which makes me sad. lol
if only the renown system was the same as it was before it would've been easier on the solo players, but now it's a nightmare, you can take months to gear only one toon to 306 from scratch...
I dunno. In my opinion, as a new player you are ABSOLUTELY FINE just using loot gear to play and/or complete the game. In fact you can complete your legendary status just using drop or junk gear on all your toons. Just be patient, y’all will get it.
About 1213 alacrity, 1560 ish accuracy and the rest crit for pve dps. There's lots of good guides all over the net, which advise individual gearings and set bonuses. I use VULLK personally.
I love how informative and concise your videos are! I've been uploading my Sith Inquisitor playthrough, and once my character starts nearing max level I'll definitely be citing this video for gearing.
ah thx for this guide i hate to play with others beause i'm really bad on fp and other group stuff. i enjoy to play solo. and i'm on my way to 306 so this is the guide i'm looking for.
You can't be that bad, I know something that helped me was reading and understanding my abilities. Once I stared applying them properly I was able to start performing. Good luck Lana but if you ever want to group up we can switch discord info and game!
@@bboyg1 I kinda get what Lana is saying. I don't think I'm a bad player but sometimes my methods clash with other peoples plans so I've been running solo for a while.
@@bboyg1 oh thx thats really nice from you. i think i am. they even put me once out of the group i don't know why but i think i was just not good enouge and i feeling really down beause of it.so when i play alone i can play like i want and i realize how little understanding people have sometimes.besides what i love about the game is you can play completely solo and enjoy the stories and chrachters. sry english is not my first language.
I know you didnt want to include ops and its of course a bit cheesy but toborro's courtyard barely counts as an op in my opinion and awards good gear fast. It can be ran every day in SM by group finder from level 70 and is a good way of getting gear and tech fragments. At 75 you get about 10 pieces of gear drop plus 550 fragments. Its worth a non solo experience IMO.
Cheers yeah. My advice for preferred is just... don't worry too much about gearing. F2p at level 60 just can't gear other than what they find randomly as far as I can tel.
Hello Swotorista, not sure if you've covered this topic or not, but whats your opinion on implementing a dual spec option instead of what we already have, a method where we can swap between disciplines with our hotbars and talents already set and ready to go....
This is cool because the loot system can be quite trash with pug groups hitting need on things that aren’t even in their class in the early stages of 75 gearing
This has helped me ALOT. Thank you so much! Also the Mandalorian armor at 0:11 seconds. I would love to know what the chest piece and leggings are. Can anybody here let me know what they are, or @swtorista, could you make a video on it, or comment a reply to this comment. That would be much appreciated! 🙏 Praise to your channel and content
I wish I could still play this game but after weeks of re downloading and looking up solutions trying everyone and I mean everything I could. To bad I'd pay for sub to
That moment when you get purple adaptable booties with an armor rating of 276 but you're an F2P at level 30 and when you try to sell it you find out it's bound 😔
Thanks for putting this together, its super helpful! I do have one question though. In terms of the set bonus gear - does anyone have a link to a guide that might help me know what to do with it once I have it? They are empty shells right? So where can I learn what to modify these shells with?
What is the easiest, most newb friendly group mission to queue for? For pre 70 levels. I want to learn it and master it before trying to join hard ones. Ty.
Hi! Hmmm.... this is a slightly older screenshots, but it shows in the filter how to pick the flashpoints I consider less difficult. swtorista.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/img_5ccce3152f352.png and here's the guide how to get there swtorista.com/articles/groupfinder-flashpoints/
At around 9:20, Swtorista mentioned visiting vendors to get specific pieces to finish armor sets, and that we usually do this when we get to rating 306. At least that's what I think she meant. My characters have gear in the 290 range and I already have several complete sets of armor, which I use to get the set bonuses. How much faster might I advance my gear rating if I focused on non-upgradable armor items instead of upgrading the sets that I have?
A question about weapon gearing etc... Couldn't we just keep a nice looking weapon and just use a ton of high level mods etc in it? Rather than getting a brand new weapon entirely?
There is so little information for F2P. Any chance you could do a video for us non-subs? I realize you won't be lv 75, I'm unsure of what to do with myself after I hit 70 and finished all the main storyline quests. I also realize I should max out my professions. Does completing alliance base alerts offer benefits? Are there ways of getting great gear for the lv 70 cap? Should I just sub to hit 75? Will my level be brought back down to 70 after unsubbing? So many question, so few answers >_
I recently came back to SWTOR, currently playing solo. With an expansion now on the horizon, how would this change how you gear? I have a character at 75 currently in 285ish gear. I have saved a bunch of tech fragments, but I am low on credits. Buying gear with credits and getting set bonuses seem to be a waste. I used to main tank for an ops group, but that was a few expansions ago. Trying the master and veteran flash points seems like a good way to rebuild my skills for now. Anything else that really jumps out as we prep for Legacy of the Sith? I am also trying to get alts to 75.
Gear will change drastically in 7.0. Old gear won't apply. If you don't plan on doing "hard" content I wouldn't worry about spending the 1 mill for set bonus. Don't forget ,if you save up 10,000 tech fragments you can turn them in into the small quest in the supplies section of the fleet for a rare crafting material that sells well.

I agree
Other MMO that is like that, or almost os ESO
Thank you so much. As a professional loner I needed this 😭😭

I'm at Item level 276 now and I'm about to start the "Jedi Under Siege" portion of the Onslaught expansion. I'm also curious it I could expect to get higher level gear from Ossus, Onderon, and/or Mek-Sha since I'm already above 268 gear level?
Again, thanks so much for this video. I've always found your videos and guides extremely helpful.
hey!! the idea is you get more "worth" to take the item out of the renown stash into your inventory and "deconstruct" it in your inventory. I know the terms disintegrate/deconstruct are hard to distinguish I get them mixed up a lot.
OMG You rock! Thank you!
I always recommend pvp. It's very is to get large amounts of gear through pvp, and you can treat it as solo content.
Very helpful, thank you.
You should be given SWTOR Sainthood (or whatever the SWTOR equivalent of Sainthood is) for this! THANK YOU!
We grant her the rank of SWTOR Master (Or Darth SWTOR if she prefers.)
This is a life saver. Thank you.
How I miss KSE (kotor save editor) these times, instead of this grinding bs I could just spawn all of the best items to my inventory, unlimited credits and I could focus only on the story. I miss those simple times, but anyways that's what we got and thanks for the video, it is quite useful.
Haha! I loved playing with that too.
Ima be honest... I love your voice.
I did in only 6 days 1.200.332 conquest points lol :)
Yeah, I am an obsessive recurrent sub player
JK here
Thank you
When I quit in 2012, my main character capped at level 50 and spent 100's of hours on the best gear at that time. Yay, I get to add another 25 levels, but I'm willing to bet all my gear is garbage now. Which makes me sad. lol
just create new character bro leveling is pretty fast 👍✔
Love your Videos, Thanks!!
And here I was, just buying mods on Fleet for my adaptive gear.
beyond the metric ton of help your videos provide... omg your voice. Have you tried doing audio books?
Your so helpful ☺
I wish the UI would finally display the player information I want to see, i.e. only the name in my case (saw cluttered Ops vid)
thanks so much for all the info :)
cheers! this specific video may be out of date you may want to check out swtorista.com/articles/swtor-level-80-gearing-guide/
youre the best, thanks
if only the renown system was the same as it was before it would've been easier on the solo players, but now it's a nightmare, you can take months to gear only one toon to 306 from scratch...
can you make a f2p player guide to max level? best way to get gear as a f2p player and so on.
Very helpful, thanks
I dunno. In my opinion, as a new player you are ABSOLUTELY FINE just using loot gear to play and/or complete the game. In fact you can complete your legendary status just using drop or junk gear on all your toons. Just be patient, y’all will get it.
What about how to use the gear? Dps class: Accuracy, Alacrity to Crit? Tanks: Defense and Shield? What about sets? What is best in class?
About 1213 alacrity, 1560 ish accuracy and the rest crit for pve dps. There's lots of good guides all over the net, which advise individual gearings and set bonuses. I use VULLK personally.
Took me 1 full Day, after reach 75 to gear to 306, after 2 days i have 4 piece of set... never been so easy
Thank you, I play solo🤍
15:35 KEEP the boss away from your companion so he doesn't get lured into the storm, otherwise he instakills him.
As if anyone gears as a group in Swtor :P We all grind hammer station solo for the most part lol
I love how informative and concise your videos are! I've been uploading my Sith Inquisitor playthrough, and once my character starts nearing max level I'll definitely be citing this video for gearing.
ah thx for this guide i hate to play with others beause i'm really bad on fp and other group stuff.
i enjoy to play solo. and
i'm on my way to 306 so this is the guide i'm looking for.
You can't be that bad, I know something that helped me was reading and understanding my abilities. Once I stared applying them properly I was able to start performing. Good luck Lana but if you ever want to group up we can switch discord info and game!
@@bboyg1 I kinda get what Lana is saying. I don't think I'm a bad player but sometimes my methods clash with other peoples plans so I've been running solo for a while.
@@rjramun hmm I see well I'm up for just gaming together and using team work
@@bboyg1 oh thx thats really nice from you. i think i am. they even put me once out of the group i don't know why but i think i was just not good enouge and i feeling really down beause of it.so when i play alone
i can play like i want and i realize how little understanding people have sometimes.besides what i love about the game is you can play completely solo and enjoy the stories and chrachters. sry english is not my first language.
Helpful video as always but can I ask... why always claim gear from Renown Crates why not disintegrate if it's worse than waht you've got?
The tech frags and scrap from disassembling is worth more than the pittance of renown you recover disintegrating it.
@@juantyr Thank you!
I know you didnt want to include ops and its of course a bit cheesy but toborro's courtyard barely counts as an op in my opinion and awards good gear fast. It can be ran every day in SM by group finder from level 70 and is a good way of getting gear and tech fragments. At 75 you get about 10 pieces of gear drop plus 550 fragments. Its worth a non solo experience IMO.
haha! Yes I highly recommend TC but we're excluding all group things in this guide.
Great info as always! Out of curiosity, what’s the armor the character in the thumbnail is wearing?
I forget the name but you get it naturally through this gearing system over time :)
I love her voice 😮😮😮😮
I just farmed HM Red Reaper as assassin with double sleep xD
why would you need double sleep if you are stealthed anyway?
@@Sovietov to help the team pass
while this is nice guide it is geared to the sub player not free to play or preferred player ...thank you for the amazing work and effort though
Cheers yeah. My advice for preferred is just... don't worry too much about gearing. F2p at level 60 just can't gear other than what they find randomly as far as I can tel.
oh my god, 229k cartel coins
Hello Swotorista, not sure if you've covered this topic or not, but whats your opinion on implementing a dual spec option instead of what we already have, a method where we can swap between disciplines with our hotbars and talents already set and ready to go....
Hey! I think all players would love that. But it would be a huge system for them to add to them game, not a quick and easy one.
When she said Number 5, I immediately thought of NUMBER 15 BURGER King FooT LEtuce
This is cool because the loot system can be quite trash with pug groups hitting need on things that aren’t even in their class in the early stages of 75 gearing
Even in group content, a majority of the loot that drops is "just for your character", so you don't need to use need/greed much for gearing anyway
Also killing Taro Blood is really good dark side option im light side player and i always kill Taro man that guy was so annoying
The worst part about SWTOR is that there's like 1 set of gear per class during KOTFE and KOTET
I’m the makeb map coming out years old, in swtor terms lol I don’t remember the year it came out
This has helped me ALOT. Thank you so much! Also the Mandalorian armor at 0:11 seconds. I would love to know what the chest piece and leggings are. Can anybody here let me know what they are, or @swtorista, could you make a video on it, or comment a reply to this comment. That would be much appreciated! 🙏 Praise to your channel and content
your voice has strong high frequence tones in it , you should use an equalizer and lower them a bit to make your audiotrack smother to listen to
Thanks. I've been struggling a lot with the audio parts of things :(
Is this worth playing never played it
I wish I could still play this game but after weeks of re downloading and looking up solutions trying everyone and I mean everything I could. To bad I'd pay for sub to
That moment when you get purple adaptable booties with an armor rating of 276 but you're an F2P at level 30 and when you try to sell it you find out it's bound 😔
Thanks for putting this together, its super helpful! I do have one question though. In terms of the set bonus gear - does anyone have a link to a guide that might help me know what to do with it once I have it? They are empty shells right? So where can I learn what to modify these shells with?
this should help!!

@@Swtorista Perfect thank you! :)
can you make a video about leveling as a healer through story mode
Hey swtorista what armor is your character wearing in the thumbnail?
Yeah, cause someone told me that firefrost took him 21 minutes when it's supposed to take 8, and he got 1 wipe on 1st boss.
*Laughs in sending out lvl 50 Gault companion*
What is the easiest, most newb friendly group mission to queue for? For pre 70 levels.
I want to learn it and master it before trying to join hard ones.
Ty.
Hi! Hmmm.... this is a slightly older screenshots, but it shows in the filter how to pick the flashpoints I consider less difficult. swtorista.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/img_5ccce3152f352.png and here's the guide how to get there swtorista.com/articles/groupfinder-flashpoints/
@@Swtorista oh, this guide looks great! Thanks!
At around 9:20, Swtorista mentioned visiting vendors to get specific pieces to finish armor sets, and that we usually do this when we get to rating 306. At least that's what I think she meant. My characters have gear in the 290 range and I already have several complete sets of armor, which I use to get the set bonuses. How much faster might I advance my gear rating if I focused on non-upgradable armor items instead of upgrading the sets that I have?
Lol what? I literally just googled a guide for this exact topic an hour before this was uploaded
A question about weapon gearing etc... Couldn't we just keep a nice looking weapon and just use a ton of high level mods etc in it? Rather than getting a brand new weapon entirely?
Yes! As long as the weapon is moddable
Will they be adding any curved lightsabers
Conquest, got it.
EZ.
There is so little information for F2P. Any chance you could do a video for us non-subs? I realize you won't be lv 75, I'm unsure of what to do with myself after I hit 70 and finished all the main storyline quests. I also realize I should max out my professions.
Does completing alliance base alerts offer benefits? Are there ways of getting great gear for the lv 70 cap? Should I just sub to hit 75? Will my level be brought back down to 70 after unsubbing?
So many question, so few answers >_
Swtorista is you're guild recruit people right now? I would like to join if that's possible.
Yes you are welcome to check out the guild here www.remnantsofhope.com/
I recently came back to SWTOR, currently playing solo. With an expansion now on the horizon, how would this change how you gear? I have a character at 75 currently in 285ish gear. I have saved a bunch of tech fragments, but I am low on credits. Buying gear with credits and getting set bonuses seem to be a waste. I used to main tank for an ops group, but that was a few expansions ago. Trying the master and veteran flash points seems like a good way to rebuild my skills for now. Anything else that really jumps out as we prep for Legacy of the Sith? I am also trying to get alts to 75.
Gear will change drastically in 7.0. Old gear won't apply.
If you don't plan on doing "hard" content I wouldn't worry about spending the 1 mill for set bonus. Don't forget ,if you save up 10,000 tech fragments you can turn them in into the small quest in the supplies section of the fleet for a rare crafting material that sells well.
