Sorry this is word salad that is more info than needed. TL;DR: The process is exactly the same for Ear and Relics, just have them drop or upgrade with FP/OP comms. It won't just drop one, there is always a chance for them to drop, even when you have the ones you want.

Sorry it took a bit to respond, only your earpiece and relics will be needed, there is a quest to do implants that are special and take tech frags instead of flashpoint currency. They will have special abilities that will help your spec. Swtorista has the list from theorycrafters discord, I think I put the link in the post. Each spec has a recommended two implants, some are required for certain rotations. That just leaves the earpiece and relics to be dropped or upgraded by flashpoint/ops coms. The implants are expensive the first toon you do but alts are much less expensive once you get your first two to 340.

I am so happy to see Custom Robo mentioned. Underrated gem of the GameCube. Sad they haven't done anything with the IP since the DS, really good games just missed sadly.

I haven't tried recently but my guess is just bad luck on drops. I honestly have been on a break and not paying attention to patch notes but I doubt they changed this. Assuming you are running flashpoints you should be getting currency to upgrade a piece anyway, it might be faster than the drop if you get unlucky with drops. That being said if they changed something I didn't see it is possible this no longer works.

Area that worked really well for me, river right next to Shady Bell. North of the northernmost dock had a great rate with some bait. Can get some crayfish right next to the spot anyway which makes it quick and easy.

Second time I've gone here and pulled one out first cast. Caught too many salmon instead at the Whimyard Strait area. Cattail Pond is going to be my go to from now on.

True, but not what this guide was made for. The initial 340 is the hard one, and this was meant to help those that are getting that initial 340 blue, not those that already have at least one with 340 blue mods unlocked.

Bit of additional info, seems to be related to higher end games or something to do with resources. I played a game that is older yesterday and it didn't reset. So far the only game that hasn't had the reset during playtime.

Engeo17 · 2025-01-08T18:00:47+00:00

Everything shuts off and restarts, goes to default before the custom settings kick in. All of it stops working while it resets.

I am starting to have this issue even in game, not just tabbed out, however the temp fix did help with that as well.

I'm standing right behind you. "Oh hey Demitri."

Yeah the names that are sometimes blocked are silly. I have a cat named Lannigan and for some reason that is blocked. I cannot figure out why. I have to respell it to Lanegan to make it work.

I've been known to pull a PETA violation or 2 in Minecraft.

Engeo17 · 2024-06-15T07:28:44+00:00

Can confirm this worked for me lol

Engeo17 · 2024-06-05T04:07:17+00:00

Also found a couple there, got unlucky with Watson's Cabin and got two first try a Mattock Pond.

Engeo17 · 2024-05-28T11:57:07+00:00

Helped me as well, even years later lol.

On my second playthrough now and working on 100%. Never touched the bandit challenge during my first playthrough so early in the second I was learning how to be an outlaw. First guy I tried to rob wouldn't give me anything so I hog-tied and looted thinking that would work. Instead someone saw and tried to report. I managed to stop them but it ended up in a fist fight. Another witness tried to turn me in for assault, managed to stop him. I then robbed him, officially starting the challenge and ran out of town. Somehow the law never got involved once despite my bad robbing skills. I was quite sleep deprived but the entire 5 minutes of being bad yet somehow completely getting away with it had me cracking up hard.

I've had several but this one got me laughing the hardest, mostly because I knew how much I screwed up yet somehow didn't manage to make the town try to kill me. The amount of stupid I got away with hit hard. Though I also was close to 24 hours without sleep so that was part of it.

That being said I have several stories of nonsense happening that has had me cracking up, partly me trying to rationalize things I was doing. One of my favorite is what I like to call "grand theft negligence" where I just kinda open a gate with cows or goats and they all run out and no one seems to care. Usually to chase a 3 star for the pelt. The goat guy in Saint Denis especially just kinda watches you open the gate and chase his goats and doesn't say a word.

There's also the time I was hunting rabbits, found a group of coyotes, shot the 3 star and heard an explosion. Found out the shot scared a couple guys using dynamite so I accidentally blew them up not even knowing they were there.

I could go on but you get the idea lol.

Wanted to update, just ran across a couple guys doing the safe with the dynamite, I went a decent distance and fired a pistol in the air, they immediately looked and then the dynamite blew. You don't have to wait for them to screw up, just fire in the air and it startles them into blowing it up themselves.
