Has anybody figured out what the "legacy mainhand weapon" item I got in my mail is? The descriptive text seems to suggest I should give it to an alt or something and then look around for a vendor or Coruscant. Worth doing?
You are supposed to mail this to a lower level character in your 'Legacy'. I believe there are vendors on Coruscant/Drommund Kaas that allow you to purchase a "Legacy" weapon, that is apparently not very good. I personally haven't tried to use it. Not sure who I'd give it to at this point, and the servers haven't been up/stable long enough for me to look into it.
here is a thread. There are a few others.
http://www.swtor.com/community/showthre ... tance+itemReading a bit more about this. They appear to work similar to PvP or Planet commendations, but are bind on legacy, so can be traded, even across faction within your legacy. Apparently there are vendors who accept them for what Bioware calles "Powerful Low Level" items (apparently the "powerful" part is subject to debate).
I have also seen some references to the fact that Fleet Commendations (the ones you get for space combat) are now good for similar bind on legacy gear from the same vendors you purchased the starship upgrades from.
I am basing all of this on forum posts, as I haven't had a chance to log in and play yet.
Hopefully soon...
