SWTOR Ossus Dailies and Patch 5.10 Gearing Guide

SWTOR Ossus Dailies, World Bosses and Patch 5.10 Masterwork Gearing Guide.

Gearing in 5.10

Patch 5.10 introduced a new tier of gear: Masterwork Armor with Rating of 252 and 258. Rating 258 gear can be crafted directly by crafters using materials from Master Mode Gods of the Machine operation and Ranked PvP warzones. This isn’t really viable for most people so the primary way will be via doing Ossus dailies and weeklies and purchase your gear via the Ossus Masterwork Vendors

Ossus Masterwork Vendors

Doing Ossus dailies and weeklies give you reputation with the vendors that sells Masterwork Gear in Ossus. You will need to purchase the 252 gear first that costs 2 Masterwork Data Crystal and then use that shell to purchase the 258 gear for 3-4 Masterwork Data Crystal.

252 Gear (2 Masterwork Data Crystal Each)

Outsider Reputation: Ear, Belt, Bracers

Newcomer Reputation: Relics, Boots and Implants

Friend Reputation: Gloves, Helm , Chest, Legs

Hero Reputation: Mainhand, Offhand

258 Gear (3-4 Masterwork Data Crystals Each)

Requires the shell of the corresponding 252 piece.

Champion Reputation: Ear, Implants, Boots, Gloves, Bracers, Belt

Legend Reputation: Helm, Chest, Legs, Relics

Helm, Chest and Legs costs 4 Masterwork Data Crystals each, rest costs 3. Mainhand and Offhand are not available from the vendors and are instead from new group content that will be released next year.

Additional Ways to Earn 252 Gear

[Weekly] Daily Area: Ossus: Random 252 gear

Flesh and Steel: 252 Mainhand or Offhand

Rare chance to drop from Tier 3 or above Command Crates

Earning Masterwork Data Crystal

There are only two weekly missions that grant Masterwork Data Crystal, allowing you earn 2 Masterwork Data Crystals per week

[Weekly] Masterwork Data Crystal – kill both world bosses on Ossus or Earn 50 Group Ranked Arena Points

[Rotating Weekly] – changes every week, could be a PvP or PvE objective.

Additionally, you can exchange your Unassembled Components to the Mysterious Smuggler found in the Imperial Command Area or Jedi Colony of Ossus. He will exchange 500 Unassembled Components for first Masterwork Data Crystal of the week and 1000 Unassembled Components for the second Masterwork Data Crystal of the week. This is capped at a maximum of 2 Masterwork Data Crystals per week (1500 Unassembled Components).

If you do everything, you can potentially earn a maximum of 4 Masterwork Data Crystals per week. There is a very small chance for Mastework Data Crystals to drop from Tier 3 or above Command Crates as well.

World Bosses

There are two world bosses in Ossus. They are designed for 16-24 players. There is a weekly Masterwork Data Crystal to kill them and also the one time Flesh and Steel quest (it is currently buggy and not giving people credit).

Kil’Cik the Swarm Lord

Found in the SE section of the Canyons. Kil’Cik is all about adds management. Kill the adds quickly before focusing on the boss. Stack the adds and AoE them if possible.

Geonosian Slaves

These slaves spawn as week mobs at first but if not killed quickly will grow bigger and deal more damage.

Guardian of Kil’Cik

Guardians will reduce damage to Kil’Cik by 8% per Guardian (Kil’Cik gains a stacking damage reduction buff when the Guardians are alive).Guardians also take less damage from AoEs.

Geonosian Combat Medic

These Combat Medics will heal Kil’Cik if not killed quickly. Should be first priority.

R8-X8

Found in the top of Ancient Ruins area. This droid has a couple of really deadly attacks that can kill players quickly. However, he is a zergable with a respawn point not too far. Dead players can simply rejoin the fight.

Analyzing Threat

This is a channel ability he uses for the first 30s of the fight. You must break his shield by doing enough damage to him to interrupt his channel or he will reset.

Supporting Strikes

R8-X8 will target a couple players in the raid with red circles. You want to move these circles from the raid but not on top of any Hypergolic Fuel Cells. Putting the red circles on top of these Fuel Cells will cause a massive explosion with a large radius that can take out numerous nearby raid members.

Incinerate

Incinerate is the biggest raid wiper. It is a frontal cone attack so tanks will need to face him away from rest of the raid. It deals large ticking damage in the area and leave behind heavy ticking DoTs. The area being incinerated will also have a fire AoEs.
