Go to talus and run aakuan champion missions with a friend or large pet. They can drop up to +5 attachments. The corellian corvette is good too if you are looking for higher attachments (up to at least +17). The drop rate for attachments on nightsisters is fairly poor compared to some of the other mobs because they have a lot of specific loot that they can drop like heavy leathers, clasps and pikes. If you are only looking for attachments you are better off hunting something else.





Yeah, aakuan's are pretty good, but you don't get the real big ones. Night sisters don't give up alot, but when they do..... I had forgotten the corvette. Drops there are quite good.

Does anyone know the mission level for Aakuan Champion's?


Is it something I'd have to solo group with alot of people or group the AT-ST to get?


Might have to give them a try now


Oh yeah, and what do the missions pay?

Drops on the Corvette?
Is this from the NPCs running about? Because last time I was there they were instant death... well, one at a time was OK, but mobbing sucked.





The corvette can be very difficult if you aren't careful. The main level is usually safe to clear containing at most 70-80k ham guys. Once you clear the main level you can lure guys from upstairs or downstairs to the elevators and bring them with you 1 at a time to avoid getting mobbed.

Before going there I would suggest you get a suit of comp armor with 80% energy protection and as high of a base protection as possible. Make sure you have full buffs (doctor, dancer, musician) as well as brandy, canape and synth steak. Having feign death is very useful there as well, it allows you to avoid losing your buffs.

So far I've been able to clear all of the starting level and about half of the sub level solo. The only problem I run into is the Super Battle Droids. They are now randomly spawning and respawning all over the ship, so you have to be very careful.

I grouped with my ATST last night to pull them, at lvl 75 you tend to get 2 whites and 3 blues, the missions pay 8500 or thereabouts..

I ran some Aa'kuan missions last night... the missions are kinda tough to find so it takes alot of refreshing to get 2 in the same direction. I noticed they run from 8500-9000 credits. I flew to Dantooine first and grouped ( 20 people strong) and headed to Talus. I wasn't sure what level they were so I wasn't going to take a chance by myself. I would assume a 2 person or 1 person , 1 pet group would suffice. I only ran the missions for an hour and nothing good dropped so I got depressed (like I usually do with loot) and went to Lok looking for GDKs. Killed 2, nothing! So far i'm 0 for 4 on GDK and scale drops.


One thing i noticed which surprised the hell out of me... My template is Mast Rifleman / TKM / Mast Brawlerwith Novice Swordsman. I pulled out a 178-586 power hammer and started hitting for 800-1100 damage.. WOW! My VK was doing 250-500 damage.....I think that sealed the deal on dropping TKM. The only thing that scares me is the attack speed so I might keep TKM just because I need to enjoy the game a little and quit grinding....

>>> WOW! My VK was doing 250-500 damage.....

Huh ?!

With a good scliced (as master NEVER use a speedslice, you are capped, go for damage slice) VK and the right attack (UAH3), you CAN hit over 2K per shot (distance, no intim., accuracy).....

You can still get them when your difficulty level is 57 (Aa'Kuan Champion).


That's what my difficulty level was when my solo group started falling apart..and only had 4 or 5 other people in it.

NS drops killer SEA's when you can get them to drop em...


But I've had the best luck with Aa'kuan Champ missions or in the Aa'kuan Cave... Plus you can loot Aa'kuan Rings (+5 ranged def), Belts (plus 10 disease), Robes (+10 poison) or shirts (+10 bleed resist).


Today I looted a +5 2 handed speed, just sold it on auction for 10mil...


I've looted other AA's out there that aren't worth quite that much, but they're valuable if your the right class...
