Hey guys im starting a Operative and plan to use him at 35, for pvp. So until then i need to aquire some good stuff and need a bit of advise from you people who are way more experienced than me in the way of the Operative.

1. The gear i should use: im gussing custom blade tech, (very expensive i think), or is normal bladetech good enough?

2. Guttersnipe with the pink blackstar shield? Or are the other 2 better? They cost like 3-5 more in the cs

3. Is there an easier way of obtaining recipees other than buying from vendor in Blackstar?

4. If theyre is not how am i going to make enough money to get the recipees (i already have all but helmet from bladetech)? I am not a good merchanter so where would i farm good items? What place has the best stuff to liquidate?

5. What skill setup should i have at 35 and what should i invest in at lower levels?


Thank you for helping me !
