Fortified Phobium Armor Set

The Fortified Phobium armor set is a crafted armor set that Synthweavers can craft at synthweaving level 260 if they have found the schematic in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This set is wearable only by Republic characters, who are level 35 or higher on any Republic class in the Outfitter tab but is restricted to characters that can wear heavy armor in the normal equipment slots.

Crafting the Fortified Phobium Armor Set as a Synthweaver

Synthweavers can craft the Fortified Phobium armor set at synthweaving level 260 or higher. To craft this set, Synthweavers must first find the schematic which can be found in the world and through crew skill missions at random. The easiest way to get this schematic is to buy it from another player on the GTN. This schematic is not always available on the GTN, so players should continue checking the GTN over time to see if it becomes available.

Buying the Fortified Phobium Armor Set from the GTN with Credits

Pieces of the Fortified Phobium set can be found on the GTN, which is an auction house where players can buy and sell unbound items. To find the GTN at level 10 or higher, look for the Galactic Trade Network section of the Republic or Imperial Fleet.

It can sometimes be difficult to find specific pieces on the GTN, especially because this armor set can only be crafted by Synthweavers who have found the schematic. If you don't see the pieces you want listed, you can look for other pieces of the set and try mailing the player who crafted it to trade with them, as some crafters try and collect all the schematics in the game and might have the pieces you are looking for.

Trading for the Fortified Phobium Armor Set with Another Player

Other players who are Synthweavers may have Fortified Phobium pieces they are trying to sell that they have crafted - or may be willing to craft the set for you if they have the schematics. You can post in the /trade chat ingame to ask if anyone is selling the set, ingame mail an armormech you find on the GTN selling other pieces, post on the official forums for your server, post on the /r/swtor_trade subreddit, or post in the #trading-terminal channel of the SWTOR Discord Chat.
