Note that companions have their own gear restrictions based on their ‘class’ even if you’re a heavy armor user, your companions might use medium or light armor. Companion characters can wear the same gear you do, but they don’t have any relic slots. Niftily, you can equip bound items to your companions as well as your own character – so if you have a great gun but get an upgrade, you may well have a companion who can make use of it.Īll player characters have 14 equipment slots: nine for armor, two for weapons and three for relics. SWTOR gear is usually BoE or BoP, as is common in many MMOs. I’ll keep the post updated as much as possible. Some parts of the game system have changed within the last few weeks, and may still change before launch, so please bear that in mind.
Please note that this post has been prepared based on my experiences in the beta, and relies on information from the various SWTOR beta tests. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask! This is the second in a series of game guides I’ll be writing for Crew Skills, discussing various systems of game mechanics to help everyone get up to speed nice and fast.
