Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you know what quest gives you [Reinforced Battle Headgear] as a reward for completing it? I know it's on Dromund Kas but that's all I know. Also if any of you know where i can find [Prototype Gomorrean Dense Cuirass] that would be awesome too! (I think it's also located on Dromund Kas but I can't say for sure)

I've had terrible luck with gear here too. (I'm an Agent) Don't know why, but the loot drops seem way off level. Very disappointing that the only good stuff seems to be from commendation vendors.

know anything about the two pieces I'm looking for?

Can't be sure. I know there is a "Bomb Disposal" mission that gets you a helmet for the agent. Might be the helmet you are looking for in your character. You get the mission at a kiosk in the main city area around level 13-14.

shameless bump because I badly need the info!

@Moreau_MD:

If you like PvP and are good at it, you'll earn like 90 warzone commendations per round. Equipment is 100-150 commendations. You can get a whole set of gear from warzones at around lvl 20 and lvl 40. Takes like 10-15 rounds to replace every item you have.

I just gave my Marauder-like melee dps companion the full lvl 40 PvP Gear treatment. She's better geared than me. Piece of cake.

The PvP vendors are where the class trainers are at on the fleet. Facing the core of the station, it's the leftmost vendor 'PvP Armor'. There's a PvP vendor stall for every basic class.

first helmet you get should be from the bomb disposal mission you get in the plaza in DK. Watch for that triangle on your map. Also you are in your teens, relax. The only gear to really worry about at that point is the modifiable stuff that you can upgrade with you along the way.

Check Torhead maybe?

Just finish out Dromund Kaas and get to Balmorra already. Run Hammer Station and get the Warbringer's Gear. That shit is excellent. I've got it on my guy now - headgear, chest, and greaves.

I'm now sitting at lvl 19 with about 3700HP and 1500+AR (without defensive stance on). Well over 300 STR and 300 END.

@Moreau_MD: According to Darthhater's database (which I recommend using from this point forward on these very specific questons), the Reinforced Battle Headgear is strictly obtained via Synthweaving (crafting). Getting no search results on the other one.

As for general SWTOR advice: don't gear hunt. It's a waste of time and money. By the end of each planet, you and your companion will have a full set of gear. Just do all the quests along the way, and do the Bonus Series questlines when you reach that point.

I got [Prototype Gomorrean Dense Cuirass] off the boss at the end of the Saving Face quest line. The one where you blow up the shittles and then fight the lady sith with the lightning who is kind of hard.

Awesome guys- thank you! Gotta love the GB community sometimes.

@jakob187: yeah, but how are the drop rates on those thing? Because gear for a sith juggernaut almost never dropped on Black Talon- it always seems to be inquisitor-centric

really? I did that quest but I never fought a sith lady- I thought the boss was just those task masters. Where exactly is she located?

selecting and building up planet specific commendations is a good way to get some nice gear on each planet at least for my toon there has always been at least one really good item from the commendations vendor that was good up grade for me.

He's talking about Friends of Old, the elite quest on the way towards the Dark Tempel. Pretty tough boss and I only managed it with a full player party.

As for the head piece, I don't remember where I got it. It was quite late but it was before I had to go to the Dark Tempel. Possibly I got it from turning in one of the Grathan/Revanite quests.

Awesome dude thanks. yeah I thought it might have been Friends of Old. Do you know if it's the quest reward or *shudder* a loot drop?

Helmet was a quest reward. I remember because my friend got pissed for getting yet another sparkly headband on his Inquisitor from that quest. :P

The Cuirass I've got no clue. Though considering I got a purple mod for my chest piece from the Friends of Old boss, I'd say it's accurate.

The [Reinforced Battle Headgear] is a reward from the quest "Secret Kinds of Darkness." It's located in the Dark Temple, second floor, as soon as you get to the second floor you can walk out the door and see the quest start, a twi'lek (Lord something-cant remember exactly)

I got all three pieces of gear in my first run of the instance ever. It's the Warbringer's stuff.

yeah it's not even worth worrying about gear early on, get a set of orange level 20 pvp gear and just upgrade those with commendations(mods, enhancements, armorings) until you reach the final levels.
