JLMackie Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) Hi all, I understand that companion gear is now only cosmetic and that the "Customize Appearance" feature is not available for companions. So is there a way (maybe via cartel market?) to allow a companion who can only wear light armor to also wear medium or heavy armor? Thanks!

GythralSWTOR Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) 'adaptive' will get around the issue - if it has the look you want Edited January 10, 2016 by GythralSWTOR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adric_the_Red Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 (edited) No. A companion who can only use light armor cannot equip medium or heavy armor. But if you want a medium or heavy armor "look", you can use "adaptive" armor, which covers pretty much all Cartel Market armor, either from direct purchase or in packs. Adaptive armor 'adapts" to be the heaviest "weight" of armor your character or companion can equip. So, for example, Kira Carson could equip the Resolute Protector armor set, and look like she's fully geared up in heavy Trooper armor, but (if it mattered) it would only be considered "light" armor for her. And then if your Knight Guardian equipped the very same gear, it would be "heavy" armor for him/her. There are companion customization items, to change their appearances, but that basically only changes how their face, hair, etc., looks, not their gear. Which is unfortunate, because many companions, including a lot of the "classic" ones that used to be able to equip a full set of gear, cannot equip anything but a weapon now.

DocDAM Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 But if you want a medium or heavy armor "look", you can use "adaptive" armor, which covers pretty much all Cartel Market armor, either from direct purchase or in packs. Note that most of this CM armor is also resold on GTN. Also, the armor dropped as H2+ rewards are now adaptive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
