This piece of gear in tier V requires epic(purple) materials for a part of non-epic (blue) piece. The tool tip says "requires Lv 43" to equip but the materials aren't available to find until Lv 49. That is when dark side 5 unlocks.
Furthermore, the piece of equipment is Tier IV and it requires Tier V materials. That can't possibly be right.

Can we get some kind of response from @EA_Jesse or another admin? This is a pretty serious error and it would bring some ease of mind to know that it's being looked in to.
He has a clearer path later though - either you bite the bullet now or later. Chewy actually needs 80 purple pieces just to get to gear 7. I think it seems this is not a bug - some toons just have different paths than others. Ben for example I see needs a 50 piece purple unit to get to gear 8. JC doesn't need a 50 piece purple to get to gear 8.
This would also make consular the only character Ive come across to need a purple to advance to the next gear level beyond that. Im sure this wasnt intended.
JC is definitely not the only character in this situation, and really he is comparatively easy to gear up vs most of my other characters. The only issue here is that mk5 purple gear is being used to make mk4 blue gear - which is, obviously, a bit back-to-front.

they must reduce the number too, 20 pieces too much for blue gear. Normally is 5pieces in lvl5 gears.
Big deal though. Glad they are fixing stuff. A good functioning game means the time spent won't be waisted because the game dies. I'm happy.

haha it totally does, but I noticed on the lower levels it spits em right out usually, and seems to drop better on hard missions but its always good to check the shard on Hard see of you need it and then decide to sim it for gear or take your chances on normal. Kind of a gamble.
lol, i'm very lucky , hahaa
