Quick question, how do i give gifts to my companion and also, how can i get my crew to synthweave something new, i can only make a belt

If it is just a gift item you right click the item and it will transfer. If you are trying to give armor or weapons, you need to open the character window and select the companion tab and drag and drop in to slot. Hope this helps....

To learn new Synthweaving recipes:

• Buy from the Synthweaving trainers
  
• Reverse engineer your created items (random chance)
  
• Buy schematic from the Galactic Trade Network (Auction House)
  

Double click the companion gift in your inventory to give it to them. Note, you companion will only like a couple "categories" of gifts. Look at their lore entry for clues to what they will like.

 

Learn recipes from your crafting trainer or the AH. Double click them to commit them to your list.

 

To equip your companion, they should have a tab just like your own. Move gear to them there. You will have to manually check though as mouse overs will still compare your equipment and not your companions.
