Soooo...Follow

I think you just need to grab the quest from the fleet that will send you to that area. As for the FPs, I don't know. But you almost certainly will want to know the layout of the FPs before you do the hard mode versions, I'd wager.

Thanks, Diggs. I grabbed every quest that was available on the Fleet and a few of them were for older FPs. I guess I'll either solo them or find some people they are at-level for and carry them through. The quest for the Corellia dailies probably wasn't there because at the time I hadn't finished Corellia.

Another question. So a lot of the quests on Corellia rewarded Such-and-Such Mod/Enhancement/Armoring 21. I have been choosing to accept either the Corellia commendation or Talos Drellik's upgrades instead. Am I going to regret this, or are better mods easy to come by?

Cool thanks. I don't know why I assumed the dailies would just open up without a breadcrumb quest.

Now I just need to find some gear that is worth modding and somebody who has taken the time to RE all of the different versions of the mods.

Knight is awesome because you get your 2nd companion (aside from ship droid) so soon and she had like +5 Synthweaving crit. I can run missions with 2 companions and use the third to quest at such a low level it's awesome. Cost to run missions for the low level oranges is super cheap. My profit margin is great.

I'm doing the same with Armormech on my Sniper. Kaliyo has a crit bonus so I pumped up her affection and just spam them while doing Warzones or whatever.

I'm fairly certain that they all have a chance to return level appropriate schematics, so maybe you should check out TORHead to see if what the options even are. There might be comments on those items in particular.

I have the breadcrumb quest for the Ilum dailies, just haven't gone to do them yet. Now that I have finished Corellia I will start doing dailies every day (I get to play) while finishing up the Belsavis, Hoth, and Alderaan bonus series (in that order). On my "no child" weekends I will mix in some PVP to start earning commendations. I suppose I should just skip BM gear because I really don't care about being competitive in PVP until I have equivalent gear to everybody else. And by the time I have the comms, most of them should be close to full War Hero. My recruit gear will just have to do.

Oh, and thanks for the heads up on the space mission. I generally don't do those and wouldn't have thought it rewarded a daily commendation. I'll have to get some better ship parts before I can do the tougher space mission, though.

Where's the best place for a fresh 50 to get earpieces, implants, (willpower) shield generators, and relics?

You want that BM gear. In fact, you need it. Unranked WH gear requires you to trade in the appropriate BM piece in order to get it, and you won't be competing very successfully against teams decked out in BM and WH gear when you're just wearing Recruit. Hate to be the bearer of bad news, but better that you know now right?

As for relics etc, you can purchase the Champion relics from the Recruit pvp vendor, and they're about 90% as good as Columi relics, the only major difference being Expertise in place of Power and a bit more Endurance (i.e. the active effects are identical).

Earpieces etc. I'd start by looking for crafted stuff that suits you. You can also opt to nab the BM earpieces/implants first, but I wouldn't recommend that. You can pick up Rakata implants/earpieces from daily commendation vendors on Ilum, Bel and Corellia. I'd say go for a crafted shield first, you can usually find some pretty good ones on the GTN, else just work towards the BM shield.
