haha it was obvious that i was thinking about your guild xD it gives me vibes of awesome people i used to like to hang out with and learn from them, but swtor is too much different from lineage2 and i'd rather give up instantly and play casually solo than keep falling behind the group xD

just confirmed that i should've joined any guild before farming nathema, but i guess i like making my grind more difficult xD

can ptr collections carry over to other servers?

dense karma
#

Ptr?

vast latch
#

public test realm

#

the APAC Shae Vizla one

formal roost
#

I’m unsure what a “test realm” is but if you’re referring to the public test server. I don’t think anything transfers to main servers.

dense karma
#

The new shae vizla one

#

And i believe you can not transfer collections there

formal roost
#

Well. When you copy a character your collections will carry over.

#

But not the other way.

#

Assuming it acts like the pts did during makeb

#

But I haven’t done pts stuff in a long while.

vast latch
#

#

Am I wrong in thinking that "sleep" and "cc" are two different things? I've been told many conflicting things but I thought that Sleep was what stealth classes can do (that don't aggro) and that cc was what non-stealth classes can do (like merc's concussion missile), but I've seen people use them interchangeably?

do u have to be lvl 80 on alts to get the weekly 200 conquest? bc on my lvl 50 alt its random rewards like crates

cold swift
shy coyote
#

iirc you get tech frags and conquest commendations starting from 75 lvl, maybe 76 lvl, for doing 100k CQ points a week

Thank you!

#

For a heroic Paladin theme, is jedi knight closest class to pick?

brave hollow
formal roost
#

Paladin usually relies on both melee and magic. Guardians “force” capability is like force jump force stasis, etc. I’d look into maybe double classing both guardian and sage. As sage has the more force abilities, can heal, etc. while guardian can yank.

#

Tank*

#

Assuming you’re a sub and can double spec.

honest seal
#

And to match that theme, im guessing a vented saber would fit with the crossguard thing like an Arthurian sword?

formal roost
#

I mean if you can afford it: go for it.

honest seal
#

Yeah I think I actually have a copy of it in collections from a while back

#

I could probably use it to my advantage now

brave hollow
#

like the Cathar Honor Sword

honest seal
#

Oh yeah true that. I do plan to use a black hooded outfit tho to make it like a dark Pally with glowy weapon so maybe a saber would fit nicer in that scenario

#

Probably will have to use white crystal for that

#

Like a glowy silver color

#

I think the white will be similar to ahsoka

#

Since that’s the only white I can think of that exists as pure glow white

brave hollow
honest seal

Is tank spec noticeably slower in levelling?

brave hollow

well ig it's still slower than damage + damage

#

hello guys, what would be the "best" crew skills for my powertech?

#

crafting some endgame stuff seems nice

dense karma
#

If you're referring to crafting augments at endgame for gear it's not easy and takes a lot of items

shy coyote
#

it doesn't depend on your class
the only endgame crafted stuff is augments and adrenals (+perhaps grenades for PvP), the rest are cosmetics

for augments:
armormech (+scavenging+underworld trading) - absorb, alacrity
armstech (+scavenging+investigation) - accuracy, shield, versatile
syntweaving (+archaeology+underworld trading) - critical (the most popular), redoubt
+you'll need another char with cybertech to craft a component needed for gold augs + slicing to get mats

biochem (+bioanalysis+diplomacy) is perhaps less profitable, but unique 'cause 700 bio allows you using gold medpacs/stims/adrenals and save money on them

shy coyote
#

*underworld trading instead of treasure hunting, oops xD

shy coyote
#

it says "requires subscription", so prefs can't access it even with LoTS expansion unlocked?

dense karma
shy coyote
#

for KOTFE chapters objectives the text was "...or previously authorized..."
i haven't done Ruhnuk yet, but once i was in a group for some WB and we were summoned to an instance entrance only for subscribers

dense karma
#

Mhm maybe it'll be a new trend going forward

#

Though missing one of two season weeklies a week wont stop you finishing the season

shy coyote
#

yeah i completed GS2 a month before it ended, just seeing all those WB groups in the fleet chat is too tempting xD

dense karma
#

Understandable, tbh though they're a lag fest

shy coyote
#

i call them turn-based strategy xD
though lags depend on the group size i guess

dense karma
#

And for some reason planet

honest seal
#

For second class to go with assassin, is it better to go marauder or jug?

#

Also my options to pick jedi classes aren’t working it is greyed out

south sandal
#

Have to unlock jedi combat styles in the legacy menu

dense karma
honest seal
#

Oh okay thanks

#

Also, I noticed I’m receiving cartel coins for in game achievement completion, how do I check a list of those in game to see what’s missing?

stable blaze
#

honest seal
#

Thanks

honest seal
#

What’s the difference between the thin and thick sabers? Does it matter besides aesthetic?

onyx ibex
#

I’m extremely confused; I haven’t played my main in a while but I’m on Mek-Sha rn, and it seems like a breeze could kill me. Enemies seem to be doing way more damage than a fully leveled Lana can heal. What the heck is going on?

dense karma
onyx ibex
#

Yeah it’s probably a gear thing mainly. Lana turned out to be adequate after all, but there’s no way I could survive five seconds without a fully leveled healer

dense karma
onyx ibex
dense karma
#

When you click C brings up your character sheet
Should say there

shy coyote
#

it feels like irating requirements were raised retroactively even for previous expansions, i recall people on the forum discussed the necessity for 320+ gear to do a vet kotfe chapter (gear for 80 lvl character while at the time of kotfe release max lvl was 65 or 70)

rose latch
#

How does Dantooine work? Can you go there any time or is it some event that happens every so often?

formal roost
#

So, Dantooine is an event that happens from time to time, at the moment the current event is Relics of the Gree so the event missions, currency, etc will be on Ilum

#

But eventually whenever Dantooine comes around, you'll be able to do rep missions, get the items from the vendors, etc

rose latch
#

So does it not have a story like a regular planet?

honest seal
#

Between marauder and juggernaut, which has less rotations and stress to use abilities with?

dense karma
cold swift
#

Which marauder focus is best right now, been getting confusing answers ever since 7.2 dropped

formal roost
#

Annihilation is always good. But it’s very hard to master.

cold swift
formal roost
#

Oh it sucks in pvp

cold swift
#

LMAO, carnage better for pvp?

#

i focus pve, but it is good to know either way

formal roost
#

Probably. I don’t pvp though so I might just be bad

#

From my memory. Carnage is also good for pve but significantly easier

stable blaze
formal roost
#

Ah I guess carnage fell off then. Good to know fury’s doing pretty good

stable blaze
#

fury got hit but juist easy to learn and do like 26-30k with

#

but yee carnage got hit the hardest

#

no one plays it outside of pvp now

formal roost
#

Damn. I’m glad they keeping anni pretty high. Then again I’m probably just biased because that’s my main.

cold swift
#

i been running carnage for like 6 years, even during its shittest times but i wanted a change especially since i see others doing more in pve

#

granted yea in pvp its still decent but its good to know there is at least a viable one for pve now (even if its harder to learn)

formal roost
#

I always liked the dot specs. So I’ve always enjoyed like viru sniper, anni Mara, madness sorc

#

But I only ever do pve so I’m super biased.

cold swift
#

Dot is the most fun when you are on CD for abilities yet ur damage is still ticking, most satisifying shit ever

formal roost
#

It makes me giddy when boss outta range but dots still ticking.

honest seal
#

Between Gunslinger, Mercenary and Operative, which offers the best for AOE and speed/mobility?

#

Preferably one that is easy to run groups with and doesn’t have crazy rotations or abilities to worry about

formal roost
honest seal
#

Ah okay. I did merc it seemed interesting and fun

#

The daggers and poison stealth stuff all was cool to me

cold swift
#

how often does the classic and non season rewards vendor change?

#

is it every patch?

#

Do any mounts lower the chance to get dismounted by npcs?

#

Don’t want to get started on the first dlc story yet, what’s some content I can grind or run before going into it?

dense karma
fiery moat
dense karma
#

But you grinding for levels? Gear? Reputation? Etc

#

Then i can suggest what to do

fiery moat
#

I guess all of it

#

Gear first probably

dense karma
#

Ok first what level are you currently?

#

Cause gear only matters once you hit level 80

fiery moat
#

80

dense karma
#

Ok cool. First thing then is go to go the fleet. Supply section on the far right.
Buy yourself a set of 324 gear from the conquest vendor

#

Then follows these loose instructions to get to the max attainable armor

#

Now i will warn this is written my server so the wording is a little more for those in our guild but should still be helpful

fiery moat
#

Ok, I’ll make sure to look it all over. Thanks

#

since i cant purchase an adaptive ear piece from the vendor for my 330 set, how would i go about getting a 330 earpiece?

#

just like hope for a drop ? bc it wont be modable like the rest

sharp badge
#

wz/gsf & space missions will go to 332

stable blaze
#

but those can not be upgraded too 336

sharp badge
#

fp & ops will be good drop sources

cold swift
#

and just upgrading with fp currency over time?

sharp badge
#

not til it's maxed on irating

stable blaze
#

if you want to force a drop. don't wear an earpeice in a flashpoint and they'll drop more often

sharp badge
#

if you do aug earlier you only lose the kit.. can pull & swap augs

stable blaze
cold swift
#

ah okay, yeah i got it from vendor, ive upgraded it to 328 on my own wihtout asking abt it first so wanted to confirm if that was the only way

#

thanks guys

#

im asssuming same goes for relics too

stable blaze
#

yup

wide canopy
#

hey guys, can anyone tell me why some items are moddable and others can only have their colour crystal changed?

tulip hemlock
#

There is a lot of unmoddable gear in the game. Just base stat stuff that's meant for leveling, so you don't have to worry too much about it. Moddable/adaptive gear tends to be toward endgame.

sharp badge
#

main & offhand modables work for most, with static non-modables for armors n such

fiery moat

Hey is anyone here

shy coyote
#

are Kaon Under Siege and Lost Island soloable flashpoints and do the they have a "wrapper" mission like Boarding Party+Foundry, and if yes, where does it start from?
should i know any special mechanics about them or are they casual-friendly? =)
same questions about Czerka flashpoints

brave hollow
#

Lost Island is arguably the hardest of the old FPs

#

Kaon is gonna be..... hard solo

#

there are a bunch of long CCs iirc

#

that you might have trouble surviving alone

#

maybe with a rank 50 healer?

#

it's doable

#

but idk how hard it is with the new scaling to 80

#

Lost Island is.... hard, as I said

#

one of the bosses, Sav-Rak, has a lot of no-no AOEs that you need to micro your companion out of

#

it also has a very tight enrage timer for playing alone

#

I think I've wiped more in Lost Island than any other FP with randoms

#

it has two of the hardest fights in any FP

shy coyote
#

uhhh sounds very difficult, thanks for the warning
what about Czerka?

brave hollow
#

both Czerka ones can be solo'd

shy coyote
#

cool, ty =)

brave hollow
#

and they don't really have major story, you do get a quest dialogue from an NPC on CZ-198 I believe

#

but it's been so long

harsh grove
#

i have a question about focus target modifier, i have set it up, but it just doesn't work for me, any one knows whats happening?

fiery moat
#

With the unnecessary nerfing of dark/light points, how exactly does one efficiently get to Dark V after 7.0?

brave hollow
#

dialogue choices

#

the same patch also reduced the dark/light V requirement to 10k points down from 100k

#

so it's not nearly as bad as it could be

#

if regular gameplay isn't fast enough for you, you can either run stuff like story mode black talon which gives a bunch of morality choices

#

or run Diplomacy crew skill missions

fiery moat
#

Ah ha! Thank you, I didn't know they nerfed the requirements to get to DK5 too, thank you ❤️

#

I appreciate the help.

#

I can't buy a main hand lightsaber from the adaptive gear vendor in the fleet. Anyone know where I could get one?

shy coyote
#

how does the vendor menu look like?
i see them almost at the top

gray arch
#

they're greyed out because i'm not the right class

#

can i still use them?

shy coyote
#

if you're not a force-user class, they're useless =)

gray arch
#

i'm a jedi knight

#

yeah it won't let me buy them

formal roost
#

You're not a consular/inquisitor

#

idk why it's locked behind background

gray arch
#

where can i buy an adaptive lightsaber that a knight can use?

formal roost
#

is there not one at that vendor?

gray arch
#

only an off hand one

formal roost
#

I'm actually not sure why it's now limited to consular/inquisitor only, that doesn't sound correct,

#

what level are you currently?

gray arch
#

60

shy coyote
#

that's a weird limitation
apart from this vendor, i think the easiest way is to get a moddable lightsaber from GTN, there should be some cheap bronze lightsabers

What's the difference between Satele and Starforge?

I joined somewhat later, and went to Starforge, hearing that it was the RP server.
My friends who quit a long time ago (but are restarting today) say their characters have all been directed to Satele, though they insist they used to be on an RP server.

We want to play together, but we're not sure what server we should go to.

tranquil acorn
#

The main difference is player count. Both servers are located at the same place, both have healthy populations, SF just in general has more activity and more options. Both servers have some migrated players from the last server merge which slightly effects the population, but that was over 5 years ago now.

dense karma
# gray arch only an off hand one

What you should do as yarrow suggests is buy a super cheap one of the GTN normally easy to get one for a few credits

If it's still grayed out then you need to contact support/ file a bug report most likely

Is there a way to see what your Guild's final Conquest Score was for the previous invasion (if you were dumb and forgot to check before reset)? swtor ppjedi

I can see Top Ten scorers and add them up, but it doesn't give the full picture.

#

can you do the weekly galactic season challenge of the arena grand with a friend or do u have to do it solo for the completion

stable blaze
#

just done it with two mates

formal roost
#

did they ever fix the glitch in eternal championship which requires friends to re-instance to go from wave-to-wave

stable blaze
#

as long as you stay in and never exit between waves no issue

#

and I remember that gltich

formal roost
#

i remember it was glitched where everyone except 1 person had to re-instance so the person could interact w/ terminal

they fixed needing to reinstance, then

Can f2p players get legendary status?

shy coyote
# thorny widget Can f2p players get legendary status?

yep, to get the legendary status you need to complete 8 class stories (3 chapters each), they're free, the only inconvenience is 4 character slots, so f2p have to delete some characters to make new ones (the achievement remains) or somehow get pricey additional character slots

cold sphinx
#

Does KotFE and KotET have class specific stories?

#

Like if I play as a Jedi consular is it going to be different than trooper?

#

SoR had a pretty diverse storyline depending on class. Just curious about the next DLCs

sharp badge
#

minor nuances but is basically a one fits all story arc with kotfe/et after that it does spread out a bit, tho is still largely a one size thing

honest seal
#

What’s a really nice looking saber for Jedi side? Preferably to go with a dark theme

brave hollow
#

that's..... very subjective

honest seal
#

Oh I saw that thumbnail and thought.. big LMGs are the new saber method 😂

brave hollow
#

heh

#

that's because "Lightsabers" is just a filter on the site for all weapons

#

:p

#

I personally really like the "Starforged" sabers

#

actually nvm for sabers they're called "Unsealed"

#

nvm AGAIN, both exist

#

and I like both

Is there some good video or guide on how the character outfitter works? And how do I set an outfit so that it doesn't just change when I put on new gear?

#

And can I sell the gear items that make up my outfit when I'm not wearing them as gear anymore?

verbal palm
#

and yes you can sell the gear from your inventory after you're done, if you don't want it for any other outfit slots; you "stamp" outfits onto your character so they stay unaffected until you purposefully change something about it

graceful ermine
#

any way to restore class buffs if they dont apply themselves or if you accidentally remove them?

what will be the consequences if i skip KotFE+KotET on an imperial character right after finishing the class story?
i read that ||Senya and Arcann will be killed, and SW will save Vette, and SI/BH/IA will save Torian, and i won't be able to romance Theron/Lana/Koth||, is there anything else i should know?
will Makeb, Rishi and Yavin be completed with dailies unlocked, or will i be able to play the story on these planets?

how do multiple debuffs work? when a group fights a WB, it has an enormous list of debuffs icons, but some of them are repeating
i guess they don't stack or otherwise its defense would've been reduced too much?

brave hollow
#

if it has a ² in a corner, it is applied twice

#

if a debuff doesn't stack, it might instead refresh the duration of the single applied one

yo, I’m kind of new and this is the first mmo game I play and I’m still getting used to it but, what’s a better way to get creds other than just selling it to the npc vendors? I’ve been kind of struggling on getting creds and since armors cost a lot of creds I figured I’d ask here

Alternatively. When u get around level 50-60 you can do dailies. Sec X, BH, Y4, CZ198, doing all the weeklies on a toon is like half a mil unless they nerfed it

shy coyote
# trim forum gotcha, but how exactly do I put em in the legacy bank? btw thanks for your time...

iirc the chat unlocks at 20 or 25 lvl for f2p
you can find the legacy bank (yellow/orange) at the fleet, but to access it you might need to purchase a stronghold
pick a quest from a big hologram dude at the fleet (Strongholds section) or on Coruscant/Dromund Kaas, then buy a stonghold from the terminal (capital ones are cheap), travel there (press "U") and you'll get some free decorations including mailbox and a legacy bank

just know that removing one will knock it to 0 if you get it again later on with the same char

#

also yeh joining a guild has some nice benefits, both by default as well as those the guild may set up on their own

#

there are many types of guilds, i.e specializing in pvp, ops (endgame), rp, casual, etc.
can also be more than one as a well-rounded guild

#

don't feel like you have to join a guild tho; if you don't want to, that's 100% fine

vale nova
#

Hello I was wondering if there was somewhere a list of all decorations available in the game filtered by theme with their picture ? I’m trying to decorate my guilds stronghold and I kinda have to buy as many Sith themed decorations

#

I know I’m lacking some and I don’t know their name so it would be easier to find that way for me

Oh thanks I checked the swtorista one already but I didn’t know about the other. Will give it a go

Currently a pref player from 4-5 years ago. Likely subbing for a month to get latest content, but will go back to preferred after that

After the sub lapses, will I still be able to use the gear that currently says "requires artifact authorization from the cartel market", or will it go back behind that paywall?

(I have the cartel coins for it, just curious)

shy coyote
brave hollow
#

interesting, I could have answered the main question as well but I newver knew what it actually says

#

TIL

shy coyote
#

the same applies to companion customizations and even outfit option to hide helmet
and it works weird with mods and color crystals, i got a warning that i'd lose the authorization when i tried to remove something (i forgot what is was)

muted tiger
#

Brill, thanks all. And if I buy the unlock legacy wide now, then sub, I’m presuming the unlock stays after I unsub?

formal roost
#

Correct. Any unlock you buy is permanent for the character/account (depending on what u unlock)

#

Even after sub expires

muted tiger
#

Ah perfect, thought that’d be the case, thanks so much
Last question (for now 😂), does that unlock allow me to equip all gear as preferred, or am I still capped somehow?

#

If there’s a guide I can read to learn all this, do let me know. Couple of Google’s and I couldn’t quite find the specifics I was after

formal roost
#

If you get the artifact unlock you’ll be able to wear everything. If you bought it for that character will only apply to that character. If you bought it for legacy then all characters can. In terms of preferred you’ll still have restrictions like credit cap, crew skills, etc

#

Regardless once obtained. It’s saved even when sub runs out you’ll be able to wear artifact gear

muted tiger
#

Thank you so much, answers all my questions for now! Have a great day!

question about the final boss in the Maelstrom Prison flashpoint (||Grand Moff Kilran||), story mode. is there some special mechanic or am i missing something? first time i did it solo and with my friend without any problems, but last 2 times he was just standing there with full HP not taking damage at all. i thought of jumping to death to reset the fight, so i ran somewhere behind ||the Revan's cage||, and finally he moved and started losing his HP

brave hollow
#

at the start of the fight, you need to kill the Bodyguards before engaging him

#

after that, it's just a game of cat and mouse, avoiding his snipes while killing the newly spawned adds and then damaging him

shy coyote
#

huh, maybe i didn't notice if a bodyguard hid somewhere

brave hollow
#

can't think of anything else

#

maybe I'm forgetting something, too

lethal burrow
#

Any idea what's going on here? idk if its only Dromand Kaas but I'm getting screen flashing when moving the camera, no matter the distance, and have been able to keep it still perfectly in a spot the "flashes" occur. My graphics drivers are fine, I initially thought it was environmental but this happens before camera collisions

#

so sorry for possible pic spam

brave hollow
#

I'm not sure if that's the same issue they're talking about, but the patch notes for tomorrow have a line

Change how the level of texture detail is chosen to reduce the flickering effect on certain systems.

#

maybe that's it and it could be fixed tomorrow?

lethal burrow
#

Ooo that would be lovely

brave hollow
#

might be worth re-posting your question in #1006357909019562106 , though

#

can also wait until after the patch to see if it goes away ofc

lethal burrow
#

Yeah sure I'll wait it out before going over. Thanks!

No it's not normal the best thing you can do is speak to the support team over the phone and see if you can work out the issue

Also i would recommend getting rid of the game from steam and getting it from their website and doing all forms of transactions there

Far less reported issues that way

What's the difference between hatred, vengeance, and annihilation? I'm trying to pick an AoE DoT focused class (new to the game)

dense karma
# oak tapir What's the difference between hatred, vengeance, and annihilation? I'm trying to...

Ok so hatred assassin is high tunnel damage. So good at fast damage and slows down over time. It's AoE is a cast spell so you decide were it goes. Not very tanky

Vengeance is AoE none cast. So the AoE circle is around your character itself do you need to move into the combat to use it effectively. It's 'slow' but constant high damage and is the most tanky dps class in the game

Annihilation is by far the hardest to learn. But provides great group healing

oak tapir
#

Does vengeance do the most damage in protracted fights (as Hatred is burty and Annhilation heals)?

dense karma
#

On a scale of averages and in term of highest possible damage i would say veng does more in longer fights

If the fight is super short then hatred would win

#

Anni gives good damage top 5 specs but it's heals is what makes it useful

oak tapir
#

Are any of them particularly mobile? Or is that more of a Sith Assassin (or Maurader) thing?

Assassin is more mobile
Then anni
Then jugg in lastm juggs main drawback is movement but you can get around it

Do I have to subscribe to use storage?

shy coyote
# south forge Do I have to subscribe to use storage?

you can use the legacy bank (yellow/orange one) for free, it's server-wide so you can transfer items between your character via the legacy bank, you can find it at the fleet (central hub when you leave the starting planet), though i'm not sure if you can use it right away or if you need to purchase a stronghold first
(anyway it's a good idea to purchase a SH, at lvl 15 (iirc) you can get a mission from a hologram dude at the fleet SH section or on the capital planet, buy a cheap capital SH, teleport there (press "U"), and you'll receive some free decorations including a mailbox and a legacy bank)

to use the personal (character-only, green one) bank you need to subscribe at least once (or to buy the unlock from Cartel Market)

Hey! Started playing swtor again after some time and thinking about deleting my old characters but do my armor sets bought from the cartel get deleted also with those characters?

shy coyote
#

you need to equip a full set to add it to your collections, and then you need to pay additional Cartel coins to unlock that set for entire account to be able to get a copy of the set on any character
(the unlock is kinda pricey, and i suggest waiting for May 4th when maybe there will be a discount)

ayo, I just subbed for 30 days to try it out and I think most likely I will not be continuing my sub at the renewal date. I originally decided on crew skills as artifice, treasure hunting, and archaeology for my main character I've been playing lately because I wanted colorful lightsabers, but I just learned that only subbed players can use artifice items. are there any crew skills that you can still benefit from as a preferred player, or are they kinda all like artifice in that way?

Is there a big difference in survivability between Vengeance Jug and Hatred Assassin? I'd like to have a Jug/Sorc character, but I was told elsewhere that I should have my second class be Assassin bc the stealth helps with farming Heroics. I'm new to the game, so Idk if the armor difference between Jug and Assassin is big or not, especially since both are DPS specs. EDIT: Forgot to say, character in question is Jug; dillema is making Jug/Sorc or making my main an Assassin/Sorc

tranquil acorn
#

In the context of heroic and other easy-ish/starting out aspects no. The major difference is having stealth which is just good utility wise across the board, but certainly not necessary for heroics. Realistically unless you're fairly determined to only use one toon (which isn't necessarily a bad thing starting out, but swtor is very alt friendly) or plan on regularly swapping between combat styles to fill specific roles (which likely won't be a factor if you focus dps); picking the styles and combos you like will be better.

oak tapir
#

How exactly is the game alt-friendly I guess? Is most armor adaptive and/or legacy bound? I'm used to just playing one toon in MMOs barring crafting and banking alts
Also is the survivability between Jug DPS and Assassin DPS that different for PvE and PvP?

Some end game currency for gear upgrades is given out as conquest rewards. More toons also help with lockouts for ops and allow for more weeklies for even more rewards. The more level 80 toons you have, the easier it is to gather those rewards. Endgame gear is pretty much all bound to legacy. As for pvp having stealth alone significantly increases your ability to survive, although that mostly depends on context of the pvp.

The difference in tankyness is massive lol

Hatred assassin is not tanky at all it's very squishy be design because it gets the ability to stealth

While jugg has almost as many defensives in it's dps spec as it does as a tank spec so it can take a stupid amount of punishments

The difference does not change much between pve and pvp

It depends on what you want more. If you want an endgame character for operations and pvp or if you want something for running heroics, flashpoints etc

oak tapir
#

For the assassin-juggernaut issue, I'm more interested in a character for semi-casual PvE (don't foresee myself getting into hardcore Operations). PvP on each sound cool, but I think I'd like to stick with ranged (hence the Sorcerer interest, I've heard that Madness brings quite a fair bit to 8v8s)

dense karma
#

Madness main use is that it's a good dps and it has very good self heals. Which are getting knocked a little at 7.3 but overall will still be good for pvp

If you plan to be semi-casual then all you really need to consider then is if you want a stealth alt to sneak past everything
Or if you want a jugg to be able to face tank most things

oak tapir
#

Thanks! I came back to ask because a friend had said that stealth would be helpful. I don't really see myself tanking in this game (or at least not in the near future).
You had mentioned there is a difference in tankiness, and it's because of abilities not armor right? I'm only lvl 23 on my Vengeance Jug, so I don't see how it's all that tanky; would you be able to briefly say what eventually makes it tankier? The stealth difference makes sense, but I only got a CC break (which I think everyone gets?) and a block boost thing (which I think all force users get too?) right now.

dense karma
# oak tapir Thanks! I came back to ask because a friend had said that stealth would be helpf...

Yes dps armor has little too no difference till endgame and even then you just mid max to make them all the same but i digress

So for jugg it gains 4 seperate and a bonus one if you spec into it.
.a AoE ability lowering the AoE damage taken by 60% for several seconds and lowers your threat
. A self heal that will heal your for roughly 60% of your maxium health until you hit 100% then stops. So best usef on low health
. Your cleanse ability which grands you 30% more health for 10 seconds
. Saber ward that cuts incoming damage down for awhile
. Saber reflect which reflect certain attacks etc from your enemies back at them doing decent damage and building aggro

#

Assassin gets like 2 defensives and they no were near as good

#

Again because you can stleath as them

oak tapir

Yeah that self heal and cleanse would do it lololololololol

Does the final ending cutscene in the class stories still works this way that you can make all the bad choices but if your alignment in the final scene is at least on Light 1 you will get the good outcome?

For example, can I be dark sided jedi knight through entire story and then get the title of the master if I would have Light 1 alignment?

sharp badge
#

I believe they treat it as a kind of redemption & would think yes

brave hollow
#

eventually your dark side points are going to start dropping

brave hollow
#

even if the council says no

#

you should find it in your list after the mission

steel hawk
# brave hollow even if the council says no

I was more interested in the cutscene :D as I know that if you’re on the darksidw you get this cutscene where Satele tells you mean things. And I was wondering if I will be on the Light alignment the outcome of cutscene will change even if I will go dark side route through entire chapters :D

Can you turn Ashara to the Dark Side? I tried looking on reddit and not spoiling any story but it seems I won't be able to nor do I want to risk it. I searched the discord messages, and someone says you can and another says you cannot so no luck there. Cause if I can't I'm gonna keep slaying with my little baby Dashade KEKW

do specific crew missions (treasure hunting) give specifc (crystal) rewards? Ex: if multiple missions give grade 4 power crystal does each mission give a specific crystal type or it is random which one you get

shy coyote
# shell bison do specific crew missions (treasure hunting) give specifc (crystal) rewards? Ex:...

i don't recall power crystals from treasure hunting missions, iirc they bring gemstones and lockboxes, and archaeology missions bring power crystals, artifact fragments and color crystals

the missions of the same grade bring mats of various quality - green, blue and purple, to get purple ones you need to run Rich and Bountiful missions (and purple unlocked missions you can get sometimes from login rewards and slicing missions lockbox type rewards)

shell bison
#

so tldr if I need a specifc type of power crystal I need to just keep running missions till i get it?

shy coyote
#

yep, of the respective grade, and better chance from rich missions

I receive tons of these allience reward boxes with items.... Now all the gear I'm getting from there is bound to legacy, but I don't really want it.... Is there some use for that? Can I somehow get rid of that without destroying it?

brave hollow
#

you can then destroy all of them

#

otherwise my best advice would be creating a new level 1 character you place on your stronghold who just holds all of the individual pieces

lime pagoda
#

There is no chance getting some credits off these?

brave hollow
#

used to be 2350 credits a piece or sth like that

#

Companion gifts from these boxes... should I sell them to npc vendors or are there people on the gtn that pay more than default price for those?

lime pagoda
#

I have just sold all those companion gift items for 10x the price I would have gotten from a vendor.... is that still a low price? ^^
Cuz someone bought all of them

brave hollow
#

if you shift+leftclick the items while in the GTN menu, that automatically puts the name in the search bar

#

you can then click search

#

and sort the results by "unit price"

#

to get an idea of what each gift is worth

Best story path?

brave hollow
# fiery moat Best story path?

personal preference. I think Agent is the story the largest amount of people consider to be their fav but that doesn't mean you should necessarily play it first

I recommend Jedi Knight or Sith Warrior for a first playthrough, personally

Is sith warrior better light side or dark side story wise?

subjective

#

there's no objectively better route, just play your character how you wanna play them

if you want yes

#

not like you can only do DS or only do LS choices just for being [x] class; you can mix it up or switch at any point in time

your character, your choice

some depend on alignment towards the end, or certain choices you make

Like when my current items seem to have overall better stats than the ones I'd buy

sharp badge
#

depends on your "play for gear path(s)" and tokens avail for gear.. save your old modables.. gear will start dropping and you can fill in w vendor what you may need for instance.

Wait, in order to use armor you bought on another character, you have to pay?

firstly, you need to put on the entire set to unlock it in collections for one character, and then you need to pay additional CC to unlock it account-wide, then you'll be able to get free copies of the set on any character

tranquil acorn

You have to abandon the flashpoint mission and then you can use the veteran filter to que for it. iirc doing it in vet mode counts for the story, but that's not the case for all flashpoints as far as story goes.

So Im at the point in the 2nd expac where I have to choose between a solo and an operation. I wanna do solo because I dont have any friends who play this game but after doing some research Ive been told I will miss some story aspects

Oh wait, Operations is this games version of raids

Oh you cant even do operations till you're 80 wtf

I read a few posts about an operation group finder option. Is that what I think it is?

The only two way to form ops groups is

A guild lead group

Or random groups popping up on fleet

Why would you want to unlock the Light vs Dark Combat Style if it's a mirror? Is it just a cosmetic thing?

Since we have the option to kill Jaesa in the reunion, does that mean she'll no longer return in future expacs?

# twin thorn Hey thats still less time than it would usually take me to get into a group

Trust me it'll never pop i have never heard of it actually working and people have queued on it for days at a time

You're far better off getting yourself into a guild to help you or to ask on fleet. Asking in fleet chat normally people respond pretty quick and a group can be formed in a few minutes

But you can not rely on group finder for ops. And it chooses a random op for you, you get no say which operation pops

twin thorn
#

Ah dang

#

Speaking of OPs, are there any other ways to efficiently farm tech fragments?

dense karma
#

Pvp i suppose but not really

#

If you want to play endgame you have to do a shit tone of ops

#

Unless you want an even bigger grind

#

I'm sorry i don't have many connections on star forge otherwise i'd set you up with some people to help you out

But talk to some people on fleet chat honestly your best hope

twin thorn
#

Figured as much tbh. Getting into raids usually ends up with me spending days trying to get into a group kekw

dense karma
#

Really?

#

For a quick SM raid shouldn't take that long

#

You just need to know the correct words

#

LF: 1T, 1H, 5DPS sm ToS

#

Say that on fleet and invite people to a group who whisper you

#

Then you'll need to convert to a ops group to invite the last few

#

Then ask one of them to lead as you not done it before

#

And boom done hopefully

twin thorn
#

Havent hit 80 yet so Im hoping I have better luck here. Im a refugee from WoW so, Im hoping the community here is a little more welcoming to casuals

#

Oh last question. Can I do OPs as a preferred?

dense karma
#

No

#

Operations are locked behind sub

dense karma
twin thorn
#

Appreciate all the help mate

shy coyote
#

there are some much less efficient workarounds for pref players to farm tech frags:

  1. 500 tech frags for 100 CQ points weekly for all alts 75+ lvl
    • 300-500 tech frags weekly if you're in a guild invading a planet
  2. deconstruct highlvl gear for tech frags (i farm it via grade 10-11 treasure hunting lockboxes + grade 11 lockboxes sometimes give a small quantity of other currencies like WZ, FP and OP that can be converted to tech frags at vendors)
  3. convert conq comms into tech frags at SoV vendor

I'm a jedi sentinel and have to defeat the boss Valis. In my opinion, this is impossible as a sentinel at level 24 or 25. This quest is in a location that can only be reached via the galaxy map for that specific mission. Can someone else who does not have that mission open somehow join and help me? Or is this impossible as the galactic location is not reachable outside this quest?
