This is how you solve that all important HP issue everyone seems to have at fresh L50.

 

Step 1. Cut a hole in the box.

1. Go to GTN and purchase an orange piece for each slot. (At this point it doesn't really matter what level.

2. Run the Belsavis and Ilum dailies.

3. 3 heroics in total. Select the mod/armoring/enchantment reward that best suits you.

4. Use extra money you get from the dailies purchase L50 blue implants/ear/wrist/belt off the GTN.

Implants and Ears usually run 5-15k. Super cheap.

Wrist/waist usually run 40-50k.

 

At this point you should have all purple mods and no more green gear. You can also buy L48 mods from the GTN for 20-40k each if you'd like to speed things up.

 

I did this for my companions and it usually cost roughly 400-500k to gear one out. Gave this advice to several fresh 50's and they they were ready to run almost any HM.

 

 

Depending on your class it'll put you anywhere from 13.5-14k

 

 

You're welcome.

Don't forget relics. Matrix shards from datacrons are easy to get, atleast with help of google. And GTN should have some blue ones.
