Level 50 Sith Warrior DPS Gearing Part 2

Next up in gearing a level 50 Sith Warrior DPS, is the relic slot. One of these can be filled using a purchased relic from the dark side vendor in the Imperial Fleet. However, there is a nice relic available with 58 Strength, 50 Endurance and 24 Critical if you want to travel the galaxy in search of matrix shards. Which I did.

First up you need 3 Green Matrix shards. Luckily NotCasuals have posted a great video showing you how to get them, almost.



They did miss out the section on how to get Rakata Cubes on Belsavis. Luckily this video shows you how to do it:



It took me around 30 minutes to get my Rataka Cubes, so not bad really.

Once the three Green Matrix shards are in your possession, head to Drummond Khaas to the Ancient Assembly Chamber. This is the instanced cave to the left as you head up the outside stairs on the approach to the Dark Temple. Simply slap a cube into each slot and press the button on the console and you receive a new relic.

Level 50 Sith Warrior DPS Gearing Part 1

Given my Sith Warrior Juggernaut has hit level 50, I have begun the gearing process. The spec of the toon is DPS in the Vengeance tree, but the gear is the same for any old DPS Jugg.

Dailies
First up is to hit the dailies to gain a couple of things. One is the daily commendations which are traded for two implants (Rakata Weaponmaster's Pakage) and a ear piece (Rakata Weaponmaster's Device). This runs to 120 x 3 = 360 daily commendations, a lot. However, the implants are bind on equip, so you can grind them on an alt, get a friend to buy them or get them off the GTN. Buy the items from a vendor in the first area on Belsavis.

Secondly is that 3 of the dailies give armoring, modifications and enhancements for any moddable gear you have. Now I have 5 armor items and a light sabre which can be modded. Alas these dailies are the group quest dailies, so cannot generally be soloed. They are:

Old Enemies - Belsavis
Freeing The Fallen - Belsavis
Poisonous Strategy - Illum

Get these done 5 times, plus Freeing The Fallen and Poisonous Strategy again for another mod and enhancement for your light sabre.

Accessing Dailies
To get the Belsavis dailies, do the Belsavis bonus quests starting at level 49, from the Imperial Fleet, or just go to Belsavis and you will get them from the landing port.

To get the Illum dailies, complete your class quest and then take the Illum quest from the Imperial Fleet, do a first set of quests and a lot of them turn into dailies.

Patch 1.2 UI Customization Video

No, not the official video Bioware posted up, no. Something far more different.

Here is the video I made of the patch 1.2 UI customizations, from the PTR. Now I had intended on looking at the Legacy system and other exciting things, but Bioware haven't got character copying working yet, so the only toons allowed on the PTR are your own low level toons. Oh, or you can level a character on the PTR which they probably won't wipe. Unless they do. No premade level 50 toons either, which means testing things on the PTR is restricted to low level things. Such as the new UI fiddlings.




The video is embedded above, but there are 720p and 1080p versions on YouTube so you can see the new UI menus very clearly. Enjoy.
