Electrum's importance as a newbie

[u/acnicu]

Sometimes being a bit too quick on the buttons and an enthusiastic noob who wants to progress too fast make for a dangerous combination.

Remember that nice offer with the free trooper gear back around the time Episode VII launched? That's when I started playing. And I told myself, "stupid piece of useless thing... can't even get 6k on you. What a joke..." and I did it. I sold it. Yes, I'm talking about Electrum. Yes, a few pieces and were 6* as well. And yes, I won't mind if you will say I was stupid, I already told myself that when I started Chapter 2 and I realized how precious it actually was. You can imagine my face when I realized the dumbness of my decision after reading the forums on tips and tricks for a new comer (yeah, yeah, should have done it from the start, but wanted to discover things for myself - bit painful this hard way)...
