Anyone care to join me in speculation as to what gear levels we'll need?I just finished all the needed toons. Given that we've had quite a long time, everyone's basically known which toons would be required and HK-47 is an old toon, I'm expecting the gear requirements to be much higher than for Jedi Revan (not that that would be hard!)I have fallen bastila g11 and the others all g8/9. Since I've managed that with no spending, I imagine the event will probably need more than that. What do other people think?

I'm guessing gear 10-11. But if I were in your position, I'd basically assume gear 12.

They've previously stated that journey events would be g9 recommended.CLS, JTR, and JKR were all in that wheel house

If this one launches around March 21st...which seems most likely as that is about a week after the requirements were announced, the typical pattern, and that would be after the Thrawn event ends....then that would only be 1 more week than they gave for the Jedi Revan event.

I would say the use of "very difficult task" and "challenging" in the announcement post are more likely indicators about the gearing levels needed rather than the timing of the event.

Darth Revan is an alternate version, it makes no sense for him to fight JKR.Even better, I’m just fearing the worst.

It will be a very difficult task to reclaim the Sith throne.

They've never used the wording "very difficult" in the past and they're calling it an "upcoming event". In fact, for comparison sake, both C3PO and Chewbacca were "very difficult" events.I think we're gonna need more than G9 at least for some phases. If you don't want to invest, its probably a good idea to have gear on hand just in case.

Jedi Revan event was 3 weeks after the last OR characters became farmable.

Calm down. It’s a big RNG cluster as usual. Have gear ready. Try with what you have.

If you fail adapt and overcome!!

They also said in the announcement that you complete your journey to the dark side.

Wouldn't make sense for Jedi Revan to be a journey event and Darth Revan to not. Legendaries have required specific factions not specific toons.

Now if it turns out to be a legendary all bets are off obviously. But I don't see that being the case.

So either Malak is a legendary needing all g12, 6* mod, fully zeta'd OR toons or he's going to be a marquee.
But this revan? Almost certainly a journey event.
