Gearing up for Nightmare mode or gunning for 330 gear? Here's a discussion on the routes you can take at the launch of 7.0 in Legacy of the Sith for level 80!
🔗 Written guide: [ Ссылка ]
• The highest item-rating in the game is “330 purple gear” plus “330 gold legendary implants”.
• Getting your Legendary implants is something both hardcore and casual players can do.
• The “330 purple gear” is the hard part to get. The only way to get 330 gear at its final tier is through upgrading gear you got dropped from Master Mode Operations or from Master Mode Operation gear boxes from the weeklies.
• The bosses in Master Mode operations drop a piece of gear “equal” to what you currently have (not better). The minimum they will drop is a piece 320 purple Rakata gear. If every piece you had one was say 328, the bosses would drop a 328 piece for you.
• In addition, if you manage to clear an entire Master Mode and all its bosses, and receive the upgrade box from the Weekly quest, you’ll get a guaranteed upgrade. If you don’t have any gear yet, you’d get a 320 purple piece.
• One very fast way players have discovered to get a full set of 326 purple gear is by playing Galactic Starfigher! Completing the weekly and moving up the PvP gearing path to 326 purple is by far the fastest way to get an intro set of 326 purple gear. You don’t even need to win matches, just complete them. (See PvP section.) That way, when you do open those Master Mode Operation boxes, you’ll be guaranteed an upgrade to 328 if you already have a full 326 set. Silly, but the box looks at numbers, not gear source.
• Another way to get a full set of 326 gear to build off of for item-rating is through the solo Conquest track. You’ll need to earn about 3,000 Aquatic Resource Matrixes to upgrade all your gear through that track, but it may be preferable to gearing up through GSF or PvP for you.
• The third option to is to get blue 326 gear through Master Mode Flashpoints or Veteran Mode operations.
• The idea is that if you want the best gear in the game, you will need to collect a full set of this purple Rakata gear and then work on upgrading it from 320 all the way up to 330 paying currency you get from operations and deconstructing leftover operation gear to Hazardous Matter Catalyst. Before you can start this process of upgrading though, you need pieces of purple Rakata gear to upgrade.
• The purple Rakata gear can come from Veteran Mode Operations (relics and earpiece only), Master Mode Operations (all pieces), and from the Master Mode Operation Weekly boxes for completing an entire operation and all its bosses.
• Ideally, you will also get upgraded gear from the weekly boxes but since Master modes are so hard to complete right now, you may want to instead focus on just getting a set of purple gear to pay currencies to upgrade.
• If you are looking to gain gear to prepare to run Master Mode operations, apart from the PvP route mentioned, which seems to be best as it gives you purple 326, you can play Master Mode Flashpoints to get up to 326 Blue Gear. Drops from Flashpoint bosses are equal to what you have on, with a minimum drop of 320 blue, you get a guaranteed upgrade from the Weekly boxes, and you can pay currency to upgrade your Flashpoint gear up to 326 blue without having to use the currencies .

• If you are on a team, what’s the bet way to gear up together if you are working towards Master Mode Operations / Nightmare Raiding? It will depend a lot on what activities your team wants to do and how much they play. Dedicated players have already gotten to 326 purple gear through GSF and can take that straight into Master Mode raiding. Players who have been grinding Flashpoints and already have a full set of 326 blue gear have no need to run Veteran Mode operations, as they can get the same gear there, and if they are chasing the Hazardous Matter Catalysts currency, it would likely be faster for them just to run story mode operations on farm. Teams that mostly log in to raid might want to jump into Veteran Mode operations, as they can work together to gain blue gear slowly but surely, if they are lucky get some of those purple drops, start saving up those hazardous matter catalysts, and run Master Mode Nefra when they can for a bonus purple drop to work on upgrading.
