new alts

I needed a high level artificer so I could make my alts lightsaber hilts. Mind you, with the recent patch it looks like that shouldn't be as much of a challenge as it was previously. But before, the best way seems to have been to get the 216 hilts from the vendors and reverse engineer them.

Anyway, I used my free 60 and made a Jedi Sage for the HK-51 quest since one of the items was on Coruscant. And then I got attached to her and decided to keep her instead of deleting her.

I'll get a proper full body pic when I can finally find a lower robe or leg thing that works with her. For now she's just wearing a plain one that matches the grey on her upper outfit. She does have a different belt though.

Anyway, she's my artificer and I got one 216 hilt to RE but it failed to give me the schematic so I have to try again. Bit of a grind but I'll live.

I did a couple hard mode flashpoints on her yesterday and got some implant upgrades and some moddable 208 gear. Shoved the mods into legacy gear so the alts will have things to wear when they get big. That way they can spend all their comms on companion gifts and other frivolous things.

This was in the patch notes today. I found it pretty amusing.

Also I can recruit Blizz now and that's pretty exciting! And crew skills got an upgrade so I'm excited to see what I can do with that. The game is still updating though so it will be a little while before I can mess with that. Once I find her the right lower robe I'll get some proper pics.

outfit redesigns and those neglected cast members

Last time I covered most of the major characters but I did neglect Augur and Sethek.

Augur is a former Imperial Agent turned terrorist and Sethek is one of Mihael's apprentices.

Here is Augur in his stylish new getup. I'm quite fond of all the extra doodads he keeps strapped on him. He's also the only one I didn't bother with dye modules for. I figured he'd be a little more mismatched and I liked it that way.

 It's much easier now than it used to be to go for the Inquisitor wearing pants look. When I first made him, options were quit limited. But I am excessively fond of the tunic look so when I found this particular top on the GTN I spent more than I probably should on an alt I rarely play.

And this is my third attempt at getting Iskavith an outfit I feel suits him. The second wasn't worth mentioning. Spent around 2mil credits on the GTN only to discover I'd gotten something that dye modules didn't really work with after I'd already bound it to him. I like this set. I just am not sure how well it suits Iskavith.

I think I was going a bit overboard with the whole "he's in charge now. He'd probably look more dignified" sorta deal. But Iskavith is a warrior. And not just class-wise. I mean, that's his personality. He isn't some scheming master planner who lurks in the shadows. And while he's adept in his use of the Force, lightsaber combat is his specialty.

So when I got my monthly subscriber cartel coins I impulsively decided to try again to get him an outfit I liked.

This was my next attempt. Liked it fairly well. The lack of hood helps. I can see Iskavith wearing something fancier and hooded when at home or something but not really when he's out in the world doing fighting and things.

 So I decided to try it with pants. And a different belt. I'm not really 100% sold on it this way. It seems more conducive to combat but I'm not sure how well I feel the whole thing ties together. I think with looser pants I might like it better. I've always liked the pants tucked into boots look. I may just go back to the robe look if I can't adapt to the pants after a few days. We'll see. Iskavith's a hard one to dress.

I really wish his former helmet worked better with dye modules. That one is his 'face' to me.
