Black Market and Arkanian are exclusive gear at level 55 and their index is 162 with 69 changes. The difference between the two is like the one you could find between TN and Campaign before 2.0. Black Market gear has no set bonus and can be obtained in Flashpoints on Hard Mode at level 55 or can be purchased with elite accolades, while Arkanian gear has a set bonus and is obtained only through level 55 operations. In addition to the set bonuses, the distribution of statistics is slightly different. Keep in mind that the set bonus of your Arkanian gear is not cumulative with that of your old level 50 gear.

These items can be found at the corresponding vendors in the Fleet Reserves section.
The Main Hand is not purchasable with Elite Honors, and Relics (Arkanian) can be acquired from the Basic Honors Vendor for 150 Honors each.

These Flashpoints are easily done by players equipped with Dread Guard / Hazmat. Players in TN / Campaign gear or less will be better off acquiring a few pieces of the Basic Honors gear before they can go easy.
The 4 ZL HM lvl55 each have 2 bosses that give Black Market items. The bonus boss (which usually requires killing 80-85 mobs in the ZL to unlock) grants a random item from the Black Market, while the final boss grants a fixed set of items.
- Athiss - Prophet of Vodal: torso or belt MN
- Cademinu - General Orthol: MN head or implant
- Martel Station - Warlord Kreshan: legs or MN atrium
- Mandalorian Raiders - Mavrix Varad: MN feet or gloves

Story mode operations are easily done by players equipped with Dread Guard / Hazmat. Players in TN / Campaign gear or less will be better off acquiring a few pieces of gear that can be purchased with Basic Distinctions or a few MN pieces of gear obtained in ZL HM lvl55.
All bosses have a chance to drop one or two MN coins. These loots are not predefined and are purely random. The first 2 bosses of CVA NM and the first 3 bosses of B&I NM only give MN coins only. The next bosses start giving Arkanian tokens. These tokens are exclusive to NM operations.
Note that Golden Fury is more of a wild card when it comes to loots, with a chance to drop any Arkanian coin.
Ultimate Honors and Underworld Tokens
Weekly limit for Ultimate Honors: 150.
Storage limit: 300.
What to do with ultimate distinctions?
Verpine and Underworld gear have an index of 168 with 72 modifications.

Ultimate Honors are only earned as a reward on HM Operations Bosses or by completing Weekly. You also earn it when you first complete CVA and B&I story mode (one-time reward, 5 ultimate accolades per operation).
How to earn Underworld tokens?
Level 55 Hard Mode operations can be attempted by players in full Dread Guard gear, but you may need to upgrade your gear a bit with MN / Arkanian to be more successful against Timer Enrage . CVA HM is much easier than B&I and players are encouraged to do CVA HM first to gear up a bit before attempting B&I. Golden Fury on Makeb on the other hand is slightly more difficult than most op bosses, due to tight enrage time and low tolerance for errors. Similar to Arkanian loots, Golden Fury on HM has a chance to drop any part of the Underworld.
Daily / Weekly Rewards
With so many daily and weekly newspapers all offering half a dozen different accolades, it can be a nightmare to keep track of.
