So far I have been restrained and only bought 2 shirts.
This is my current outfit:
RED RED RED RED RED! Also, shut up. I know it’s a skirt. The sith marauders wear skirts too. It’s fine.
If you are interested it’s:
- Dark Initiate’s Robe (Cartel, 150 coins)
- Voss Mystic Legwraps (Social V)
- Ablative Plasteel Headgear (Synth – pushes hood down)
- Ablative Laminoid Boots and Gloves (Synth)
Now, this is trickier than it seems. First, no medium armor skirts except social gear. And, trust me, you don’t want to wear pants with this shirt. The hanging down THINGS stick unattractively to the backs of your legs.
Then there were colormatch issues. Most boots and gloves pick up the gray color rather than the red color. So I had to struggle to find boots and gloves that were not only marginally attractive but color matched to the right part of the outfit. And by “struggle to find” I mean “make a copy of each set of synthweaving AND armormech medium armor boots and gloves and try the damn things on and then hit ‘match to chest’.” My idiots are now farming to recover the mats I wasted in the name of fashion.
I also bought Saberist’s body armor (Cartel, 150 coins). Goes great with the same boots and gloves, and I’m using the Sentinel’s Renowned Headgear (Legacy Gear), but I’m struggling on the pants issue. Here I’m using the Corsec Pants (Social VI) but they have this weird two-toned thing going on:
Seriously, it’s impossible to find pants that don’t have embellishment on the butt or crotch… or faux holsters for my not-guns. Let’s hope that the Cartel Market releases the matching pants.
Total spending: 300 Cartel Coins. I’m being downright frugal (so far).
I have a mandalorian looking smuggler. My life is complete.
WHY ARE YOU NOT GUILDED YET?
Step 1: /who snark
Step 2: “LOL I NEED AN INVITE”
Step 3: /g HAI GUYZ
I keep forgetting Njessi, My new work schedule + the ridonculous drive to where i’m staying is messing with me a bit. I’ll hit one of you’s guys up tonight or tomorrow for an invite. Please don’t hurt me…. *runs*
There will be people online tonight until the “wee-ish” hours, because we’re raiding. I won’t be on but you can ask Noreek or Kris or Grace or really anyone except the two other trials who can’t invite yet.
on my sniper, I’ve been trying to find an RD-07A Vendetta Jacket without any success, so after the patch, I browsed the store a bit…
and found this:
http://swtor.askmrrobot.com/gear/44352/dire-eliminators-chestguard
which looks actually REALLY nice! even colour matched well with my other Vendetta pieces…
might post a screenshot later when I get home
ugh… coding error >.<
The dire eliminator thing, imo, looked a bit too “armor-y” for a sentinel, though I’d be all over it for a guardian. (I’ll fix up yer link)
Wait, you haven’t gone nuts trying out the random packs? That’s half the fun of cartel coins. I dunno about you guys but on my server (EBON HAWK) Carrick station sounded like it was under mortar attack all day yesterday.
Plus, both my main and my alt got a new speeder – a recolored version of the one I already have. Blergh.
I bought 2 on jedi covenant. got a republic banner, probe droid mini, hound, 2 bats, and the cartel collector title.
all in all not bad.
Hell yes. I bought 4 of ‘em and they’re great. People can call them “gambling packs” or “RNG wastes” but I’ll stick with my version of ‘em … HAPPY MORTAR.

That is a wonderfully apt description of the noise, lol.
I admire your restraint!
I TRIED! I really did, but failed and ended up spending 100+ US dollars on the market! mostly on the crime lord packs! they are such a THRILL! they scratched a gambler’s itch I never knew I had…
Yeah… I don’t think Bioware needs to nickel-and-dime F2P people (hide head slot, etc) when they are probably going to be making money hand over fist from all these adorable items.
Seriously – you find a Darth Nihilius mask and you’ll never want for credits again. I talked with some guildies and we decided if any of us got the mask we’d start the bidding at 2.5 million creds.
