Couple Swag

Often, it's nice to have a rich relative willing to share a little wealth to help send a young couple off in style.

Thanks to a nest egg saved up by Heliantha, I was able to buy a few nice things for Baldrvar(me) and Vireena(Scooter), including some hawt lightsaber crystals and a couple cute Meirm Dart Frogs. Much like we often do in real life, we outfitted this pair in matching shirts: Republic Practice Jerseys.

I didn't want Baldrvar's saber to give away his dark affinity so blatantly, so I picked the white-purple-blue crystal which happens to match the blue and white jerseys they are wearing. That color was also relatively inexpensive on the GTN when I was shopping. Scooter preferred the magenta outline crystals, though, and I am beginning to wish I'd followed suit.

I picked up these beauties a few weeks ago when they were also a bargain on the GTN. Scooter and I have really fallen in love with the pug-nosed design of the Meirm speeders, having picked up some Skinks for Achillea and Harllie ages ago, and getting some Agamas for Lulara and Heliantha during our recently completed character run. One cool thing that sets these Dart Frogs apart from our previous Meirms is the fun little beep-beep they do just after mounting up.

One cool thing about the new companion system is that, since gear stats no longer matter for them, they can be outfitted however you please. And because I can use the Jersey as a costume stamp on Baldrvar, I decided to put Qyzen Fess in the "Team Uniform," which I will transfer to future companions as needed. I'm hoping Scooter does the same with Kira Carsen and Vireena's other companions.
