xxMemphis Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just unlocked legacy last night and I have 2 items that are legacy bound. It is a leggings kit and weapon kit.....I have no idea what to do with these. It say to use them to create a powerful legacy item but I have no idea what to do with it. Do I take it somewhere or use it in crafting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epicfear Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 You send it to an alt that is lower level than you, and you have them turn it in to a legacy vendor to get an item much better than they would be able to get normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidrea Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Don't count on it being too powerful. Legacy kit for a weapon gives a green quality lightsaber, but Jedi get an orange quality for their first weapon while still on Tython. (Sentinels get a second one when choosing their AC.)

The lightsabers you can get from the legacy vendor is considerably better than the one you get from Tython ( any legacy weapon is better than your starter planet weapon. ) The legacy weapon is closer to a purple non-mod weapon than a green quality weapon.

Gidrea Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It wasn't when I went to the vendor and looked. Maybe it changed since then. I'll have to go back and take a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxMemphis Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share Posted August 6, 2012 I just rolled a Jedi Knight last night so I should send stuff her way then. I am level 10 right now with that but I am sure this legacy item will go to waste down the road anyway right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, went to the vendor and this is what they had, or ones with very similar stats: http://i705.photobucket.com/albums/ww51/GidreaLightsky/LS.jpg It's not moddable, you're better off keeping the one you get on Tython and upgrading it with planetary comms.

One thing to keep in mind that you won't find usable commendation mods that are better than that level 14 purple weapon until you're well into Taris.

Yeah, your reasoning is sound, but practically speaking it doesn't work out around that low level. That's good advice though, generally you keep the moddable weapon you like best and just change out the mods on each planet using Commendations. Thanks for pointing that out!

This. Sure, keep the mod one you get so you can upgrade it later but in the mean time, you'll be using the Legacy weapon because it's better. I did this on both of my Jedi and, as noted in the quote, I didn't get any better options until I was probably halfway to almost done on Taris. Question for the O.P. The leggings kit was a drop, yes?

Only exception to this is if you know a cybertech and and artiface crafter who has purple armor, mod and enchancments which when I got the legacy weapoin I did since the guild has one.

Do I take it somewhere or use it in crafting? Turn it in to a vendor on your capital planet. Republic is near the left entrance to the GTN in front of the senate tower. For Imps it's in the main city on Drummond Kass (sp?) near the market area where GTN, skill trainers and class trainers are clustered. It will give you a weapon that's about equal to blue quality of the same level, or perhaps just a little bit better. They don't last very long since they aren't moddable, however. The only ones I really mess with are the custom armor pieces. You can load them up with mods from gear you have outgrown or can't use, and pass it on to an alt. My gunslinger has a Rakata jacket @ lvl 42 thanks to legacy. My guild got it, but nobody needed it and I won the roll. With any luck, she'll be in full augmented columni + (minus set bunus) as soon as she hits 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. I didn't have low-level purple schematics when I was leveling my Knight and Consular through Taris, which is probably why I overlooked mentioning crafting as an option (or GTN if one has the money and can find the needed items). Thanks for pointing it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
