When my sorcerer first hit lvl 19 I started farming Valen Korik for the waistwrap.
By the time the belt dropped, I had:
177 blue items 6 purple items 8 orange items 7 schematics 22 DK commendations gained 3 xp levels gained 121,000 credits (All greens were npc'd ) raised each gathering skill 20-odd points (Scavenging, Archaeology, Slicing)
Worth it?
