The Legacy gear is random drops, and from what I have read it cannot be RE'd.

So aside from if being relatively easy to come by (if you're in the farming mood of course...lol), it's worse than getting lower level crit-crafted orange gear.

So, there's a full suit of orange Legacy gear on the vendor on Coruscant. However, they do not have an augment slot. Is that orange gear RE'able to get the recipe to craft for a chance for an augment slot?

Because, if not, it's DEFINITELY not worth the 1.2 mil for the whole outfit...

I don't believe that they can be RE'd to get schems. However, hold onto those custom gear as devs has said that they are working on a way to make non-augment gear to be able to get it in one form or another in future patch.

Well, haven't bought it yet, and I'm thinking that 1.2 mil is way too pricey for non-augmented gear...

I bought the smuggler legacy set cos it's currently the best looking smuggler gear that fits with the scoundrel stealth theme. And moddable belts/bracers for ~100k ea is pretty cheap.

Or just buy the ship battle belt for ship commendations... Though I do like the modable bracers.

The devs have stated more than once that they plan to implement a means in game to add augment slots to existing Orange gear.

So no, the legacy gear is not best in slot at the moment, but can be someday. In theory.

Yes, the dev's have said that they "are looking at some way of adding augment slots to already crafted gear".

However, the current method for getting augment slots (random luck via critical crafting success) is clearly designed to keep augment slotted gear in the "rare" category. Just check your local GTN terminal for pricing on augment-slotted gear

So it is unlikely that any new method of adding augment slots to gear will be any "easier" than the current system, unless the dev's intend to make augment-slotted gear the new standard.

Well, on my server anyway, the crafted orange gear with an augment slot on the GTN is about the same price as the orange gear on the Legacy vendor, which doesn't have the augment slot.
