T4 Armor Combines

There are three ways of producing the armor.

   1. Combine Tier 2 (Steel) Armor Piece + Gyro Core inside a Gyro Core Embedder.
   2. Combine Tier 3 (Ancient) Armor Piece + Gyro Core inside a Gyro Core Embedder.
   3. Combine Un-Cored Template + Gyro Core inside a Gyro Core Embedder.

Note: Take out any augmentations before doing a combine!

The Gyro Core Embedder and Un-Cored Templates may be purchased from Automated Vending Unit in Dragonscale Hills (located next to the Fortress Mechanotus cannon) and requires at least indifferent faction with Ak'Anon Strike Force V.


Gyro Core Conversion:

A Gyro Core unusable by your class can be converted by combining an unusable Gyro Core and the appropriate Core Gear Kit inside a Gyro Core Re-gearing Kit (also purchased from Automated Vending Unit II).

For those who won Gyro Cores last night.  The Bimbalicus event flags you for WRIST patterns, via the associated NPC I have listed in the above post.  

Just make sure you convert your cores if necessary (if you're not of the class listed on the core), before doing the combine.


Congrats on your wins!

Question on making the T4 Armor. . .Will either lesser piece (T2 or T3) once the core is put into the armor create the identical T4 piece or to get the maximum benefit from it, must you have a full set of EITHER T2 or T3 gear and then upgrade it?

[Thewun]

You can start with a T2, a T3, or a purchased template from the vendor.  When you add a Core to any of those pieces you end up with a T4 piece.  It doesn't matter what you start with, the end piece is the same.
