The Kestrel Minority

Good day, Kestrels!

Since the start of 5.0 the introduction of Command XP raised the question of gearing.

What am I to do if I have many alts?

Also 300 CXP steps are a long and arduos route.



So for all gear hungry Kestrels or just those wanting to do upgrades I made this post.

In order to have a "felt" and true upgrade I will restrict myself to 240 gear and 234 Relics, Earpieces, Implants.

In short:

Gear that gives a significant boost.

I will put in a list I can offer to craft for the Kestrels putting costs next to it also.

If anyone wants to add to it we can make it a comprehensive list offering gear upgrades by crafting to fellow Kestrels.

As for crafting there are 4 things that make up high level crafts in 5.xx :

- Refined Isotope Stabilizer (blue crafting material)
Gained in FP, PvE and from GTN

- Void Matter Catalyst (purple crafting material)
Gained in OPS, from tier 2 command rewards in PvP, GTN

- Ressource Matrix (purple crafting material)
Gained in personal and guild weeklies, GTN

- Specific purple, blue Materials and Components Grade 10

I will keep the list updated and hope that gives help to any Kestrel wanting to upgrade a bit.




Wishing all fellow Kestrels a good day and fun in game!
