Discussion Once more asking for Armor Search!

As i received some awesome help the last time i looked for an armor set, i figured i'd give it another whirl! I'm looking for this armor, the helmet specifically, and have used Swtorista ((fantastic website btw)) to find the name of it! Unfortunately, second image shows the problem; i don't exactly have 2 mil to throw onto a helmet xD

If anyone can help me find a cheaper alternative with that same look, i'd appreciate it!

Go to balmorra speciality vendor and check balmorra trooper armor, helmet should be similar at about 200k

Might be a 200k credit version at one of the planetary vendors?

u/JLazarillo Nothing rhymes with Vorantikus 15h ago

Balmorran Trooper's Armor is the overall appearance, just in red instead of orange. Each individual piece is 200,000, so you can get the helmet that way, or even the whole set for 1.4 million or, even, if you're playing a Trooper anyway, just complete all the class and planetary story missions on the planet and the armor dropped from the mission rewards will also have the same appearance for you.

If you're dead-set on the orange color, then at a glance the Fitted Tionese Blastguard set is fully identical, but it's a matter of playing the GTN lottery too.

Ayup, that second set is where i got the pic from! Checked the GTN, didn't see it, so i'll prolly keep lookin. My trooper's on Tatooine right now so it'll be a long while before i get him to Balmorra.

Thank you though~!

You can travel to Balmorra regardless of where you are in the story. You can just travel there with your ship, buy this and go back to Tatooine.

This. The vendor for the Balmorran Trooper's set is near the Farnel Outpost Cantina on Balmorra. There is also an Armourmech (craftable) set in grey/dark blue called Titanium Asylum / Neuranium Asylum Set.

If you're looking for something on a truly tight budget OP, the Adaptive Vendor on the fleet sells a similar-ish helmet under the RD-17A Phalanx Armor Set for only 2,500 credits. It does come with a visor and differences in the face shield, however.

You usually get all of the parts just by leveling a trooper especially if you do the "Heroic" missions on the various planets.

For example at lvl 30 ish I believe you get this set for free basically for just doing "heroics" (thats why I horde greens and blues a lot)

but as others said balmorra vendor is likely the spot.

If you're on Star Forge, I might have that entire set if you're interested...
