Mercenary Elite

Mercenary Elite Armor Set

The Mercenary Elite armor set is a crafted armor set that Armormechs can craft at armormech level 340 if they have found the schematic in Star Wars: The Old Republic. This set is wearable only by Imperial characters, who are level 43 or higher, but is only wearable by Sith Warriors* and Bounty Hunters*, even in the Outfitter tab.

* Who can wear this class-specific armor? In Update 7.0, the way you fight with your character was seperated from their story class. Many old armors still have story class replies written on their tooltips, but these tooltips are not correct.

Only wearable by: Imperial characters who have these Combat Styles...

* Only wearable by certain combat styles Guardian / Juggernaut / Sentinel / Marauder

* Only wearable by certain combat styles Vanguard / Powertech / Commando / Mercenary

Crafting the Mercenary Elite Armor Set as an Armormech

Armormechs can craft the Mercenary Elite armor set at armormech level 340 or higher. To craft this set, Armormechs 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.

Read more about Armormech schematics on the SWTOR Armormech Crafting Tree page on Swtorista.com.

Buying the Mercenary Elite Armor Set from the GTN with Credits

Pieces of the Mercenary Elite 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.

Read more about how to buy items on the GTN on the How to use the GTN Guide page on Swtorista.com.

Republic-side

This armor set changes appearance when it is transferred Republic-side. It keeps the same name, but will take the appearance of a set for the mirror-class of this set.
