Ok... as a zabrak... this is what I'm paying on a world that has a current GCW status of 631 Imperial 119 Rebel


(prices are the same for all 3 armor types)


Left Bicep2754

Right Bicep 2754

Boots 688

Left Bracer 2754

Right Bracer 2754

Chest Plate 5508

Gloves688

Helmet2754

Leggings2754

Utility Belt2754


Total 26162 faction points... for ten uses of each schematic... no factory runs


This is still way too high for the number of uses we get...


I dunnomaybe they can build a delegate feature into the merchant terminals, where you charge both money and faction points

Make sure you check all of the planets. Even Talus for the best cost.

That's what smugglers are for.

Figuring you can swing a deal with a Smuggler and buy faction at 110 per point, it'd cost you about 2.87 million to get enough FP for a whole set. Divide that by 10, and you get about 287k per suit. Round that up to, say, 300k or 350k per full suit, and that's still a lot cheaper than the 2 million or so it took to buy a full suit of Stormtrooper armor pre-CU. And it's useful now.


I'm willing to bet people will pay upwards of 500k easily for a set of this armor now, which should leave you with a reasonable profit.

It's gonna cost more than that. Still need to make it. But it is stil cheaper than pre-cu, just remember that the customer still has to get it bio-linked.....

This was also tested by a non human imperial, so the prices will be even cheaper.

Apparently they've either super reduced the bio-link fees, or the costthat was quoted to me by a friend who had his old set of pre-CU stormtrooper armor only applied to the pre-CU stuff. But as of this morning in live the old pre-CU stuff was costing 5 FP to biolink

Pre CU faction armor only cost 5fp per part to bio-link because you have already payed the FP for it.

I'm a Twi'lek and just checked the prices on the same planet...

Imperial: 647, Rebel: 119


Costs for me to purchase the schematics are:

Chest - 4031
Boots & Gloves - 512
Pants, Helmet, Belt, Arms - 2051

Total of 19412 for a full suit.


Considering I am "alien scum" I am quite happy with that, thought it would be a lot worse - altho don't get me wrong, it could definately be better

how do you get the rebel armor schematics? I talked to a trooper outside a base and went overt and still couldn't find an option to ask for it.

The costs I wrote were for a Twi'lek from a planet where the standing was stated for a full suit of Imperial Armour (Helmet, Chest, Pants, Boots, Gloves, 2x Biceps, 2x Bracers, Belt) which I believe are 10 uses each, altho I haven't actually bought them yet.
