Quick Questions Megathread

[cerulean field]

thats weird cause it didnt get updated today

[stable blaze]

you sure? odd

[cerulean field]

yeah is still the same

as yesterday

[desert frigate]

so is the materials inventory for crafting per legacy or per person?

[dense karma]

Per legacy

[lusty gulch]

if I gain Light/Dark V on a character, can I then go and get enough points of the other side to also get the opposite top lvl? (E:G, if I get Light V, can I then grind to get Dark V on the same character?)

[shy coyote]

yep you can get LS5 and DS5 achievements on the same character, but in turn, not at the same time

[safe dirge]

Can someone explain to me how Veteran Flashpoint drops work? Do they drop at equal ilvl to whichever slot they drop in? Because it seems inconsistent. I have gotten 324, 326, and 330 drops

[dense karma]

It'll drop based on your curremt gear for each slot and your overall item level

Once at level 80 it will drop at the same level as pieces you're already wearing

[safe dirge]

So if I have one 336 Relic and one 332 relic, will they always drop at 332, or can they also drop at 336?

[dense karma]

It's possible for both to drop but it's far more likely to drop the 332

The only way to fully upgrade your gear is to actually upgrade at vendors

[lusty gulch]

👍

[lusty gulch]

may have asked this before, but in order to do romances do I have to do every single flirt option?

I just got to the first meeting with Risha, and while I usually click every flirt option possible (sue me, I find it funny lol), this time I want to go more with "Your on my ship" since that kinda fits my smuggler better (given his near crazed obsession with getting this ship back the last 2 planets, and all the people he's had shoot at him while he's done it XD)

[shy coyote]

only a few flirt options trigger romances (i skipped a number of flirts with Vector but picked one because other answers weren't nice and then i was locked in the romance xD) but i haven't seen a list of which ones do that, so it may be safer to pick all of them (after companion joined your crew, previous flirts i think are safe to skip)

[lusty gulch]

aah

ok

so I'll skip this one then because she technically hasn't joined the crew

(its legit the first encounter with her ever)

and if I miss out, oh well 🤷‍♂️

thxs for help

[brave hollow]

yea dw about it

you dont need to be creepy and jump immediately

[lusty gulch]

thxs 😁

[shy coyote]

what are these for? the description says they grant missions

[brave hollow]

lore

you get small sidequests that are basically just a lore dialogue at a Shroud terminal on NarSha

when you collect all the cubes, though, you also unlock the Revered Chronicler armor set

[shy coyote]

oh interesting, thank you =)

[brave hollow]

each of the individual ones rewards either an xp or valor boost (choice)

[pastel osprey]

How much longer does the Bounty Brokers event last?

[south sandal]

Until the weekly reset on Tuesday. It cycles every so often and lasts a week each time

[pastel osprey]

Alright tyvm

[austere prawn]

Did I ruin vettes romance? We went to see her mother, and I choose the option to kill the Hutt. After I got back to the ship, she said she wanted some space for awhile. Did I fuck up?

[south sandal]

I think you still stay in a romance with her if you go dark side for that quest, as long as you've been flirting with her

The conflict comes up if you flirt with both Jaesa and Vette. Eventually you'll be confronted and forced to choose between them

[austere prawn]

Okay. I already got past that and choose vette. I just got worried I fucked it up right at the end of her romance

And I have been doing the flirt options, she's already said she loves me

Just worried that I'd have to make a new character just to get the end romance

Oh, do i have to have a certain affection lvl by the end? She's at 30/50

[south sandal]

Nah, your companion affection rating doesn't affect their romance status

it makes them perform better in battle and it makes them gather/craft faster

[austere prawn]

Ooooh

[austere prawn]

How do u get ambassadors curiosity boxes?

[shy coyote]

does group summon cooldown tick when you're offline? (for example, if i park alts at world bosses and log on them only to cast summon)

[brittle rover]

I assume so but never tested. Things that don’t tick when you’re offline are mostly (de)buff based (think stim, valor boost, rakghoul plague), so since summon cd isn’t, yeah

[wanton echo]

do I need to be a sub to finish the hk51 quest chain or can I finish it as pref player?

also, if I buy legendary implants and equip them, could I upgrade them later as a pref player and still be able to use them (so like they stay in the slot after every upgrade) or nah?

[brittle rover]

Hk51 quest finishes by going back to section x, so you need sub. Legendary implants can be bought and upgraded no problem for pref, if you can get ahold of the tech frags needed lmao, you don’t get much frags from anything that’s not ops sadly

[wanton echo]

wherent legendaries for subs only? or is that with the set bonus stuff only?

[brittle rover]

Oh right forgot artifact authorization isn’t a given for pref, probably doesn’t work to upgrade then yeah

Unless implants are excluded or smth

[wanton echo]

is there a representation of how much 25 meters is on the in-game map? I wanna run through the hk51 item finding ones as fast as possible

something like that circle in the pic but 25 meters (in radius or diameter I dont remember which one it was) for the hk51 part locations

[brittle rover]

There’s no easy way, but you could find some entity (vendor or group member) that you can target and see distance to, that’s also marked on the map

So stand 25m from the entity and check how far that is on the map

[wanton echo]

ty, and one last question, was it 25 meters in radius or diameter?

[brittle rover]

25m radius I’m pretty sure

[wanton echo]

ok ty :)

[brittle rover]

Good luck with the grind

[wanton echo]

update: I gave up

[glass hedge]

As someone who eventually got the HK-51 eventually, definitely break of the grind into parts. Good news is, you onlt have to do it ONCE. Then you can unlock it via credits on other toons

Question for All: I have a Personal Conquest Reward "mission" in my mission log. I have my conquest for this week, is this like a week I forgot or something like that? I've never seen this in my quest log.

[shy coyote]

okay a really silly question, how do you get out of the chat textfield to avoid writing "wwwwww" when you need to run? i always thought clicking anywhere outside the textfield should be enough but it doesn't work, so i click toggle chat off and on and it's very inconvenient

[dapper moss]

when I see the text field blinking when I didn’t mean to hit it, I just hit enter while it’s empty and it deselects that way

[fiery moat]

Quick questions: I bought 30 day sub and cancelled it (bc I wanted to unlock story expansions), after my 29 days are over what perks do I keep and what do I lose?

[stable blaze]

You can level all toons to max level and do all story on all of them, Otherwise for the most part you lose all other perks

[wanton echo]

u can look this up but the major ones you lose are no credit cap (so 1 mil cred cap) and ops

also the 3rd slot for crew skills and 20% xp boost

[fleet flume]

[fiery moat]

So keep story and lvl 80

[wanton echo]

what about tacticals and implants from the twilek vendor?

[dense karma]

Depends if you unlock them before you lose sub or not

[shy coyote]

you can use purple/gold gear that you equipped when you were subbed (it becomes "previously authorized") but i'm not sure about what happens if you try to pass that gear to your alts or remove augments and color crystals, i was getting a ton of warnings about losing authorization before i bought CM unlock

[pastel osprey]

Is the Tatooine Kingpin Bounty bugged? I'm at the location marked on the map but can't seem to find anywhere that I can use the probes without being told I must be at the designated location Nvm followed some agent across nearby ravine from marked area, probes inexplicably worked.

[wanton echo]

does the game update all the way to the next major expansion slowly or do they jump there sometimes? like 7.4, 7.5, 7.6, 7.7, 7.8, 7.9. then 8.0, or would they jump to 8.0 before 7.9 if they felt that it would be appropriate?

[dense karma]

It does happen yes

[gentle vale]

I'm planning on returning to the game in the near future and starting from scratch on the Malgus server, while transferring my two most important characters from the previous servers.
The last time I played was around the time that "Onslaught" released, were there any major changes since then that I should be aware of?

[dense karma]

Depends what you consider major and what changes you most interested in

[cerulean field]

what is the best companion to have at the moment? (regarding healing, dps or tank)

[lusty gulch]

from a quick google search, a companion called Z0-0M seems to be the best healer. I have no first hand experience though. (I only have a story Comps, and I believe Z0-0M is a CM one?)

[paper sleet]

is there a way to take items from the loot window with the left mouse button?

[glass hedge]

As far as I know, they pretty much normalized all companions, so there's no major difference that I'm aware of.

[wanton echo]

not directly a CM one but kinda, u get the droid from the shroud of memory chapter I believe (in which you also get another droid which I wont spoil), and the only way to get the chapter is to buy it with CC (3.8k CC and u need to be lvl 65)

[fiery moat]

After my subscription is over, do I lose access to my secondary combat style and after sub is over can I still add secondary style to my chars?

[shy coyote]

you'll be stuck with the last active combat style, you'll need to sub again to change or add 2nd combat style

[fiery moat]

Is it possible to get discount for sub?

[shy coyote]

never heard of that

[fiery moat]

Okay thanks

[foggy canopy]

Aside from NiM Ops, are there any ways to get over a Gear Score of 340? If yes how?

[dense karma]

Nim ops gets you 344 otherwise every other content expect pvp gets you to 340

[cerulean field]

is there a way (if any) to remove the yellow alert on the companion and contacts section at the top of the top bar? its because of the alliance alerts and i don’t want to do some of them so that kind of annoys me a little

[glass hedge]

The Daily FP repeatable for doing Flashpoints in a "Guild" group. Does it need 4/4 to be in the guild or 3/4, 2/4, etc?

[mild forge]

Technically you don't have to do NiM ops, you can get the catalysts from SM ops, or exchanging vet or conquest currencies(not recommended) and buy the rakata pieces, from the ops gear vendor. NiM ops are faster, but you can do any or a combination of the slower methods

[dense karma]

To my knowledge needs 4/4

[dense karma]

You either have to do the mission or let them sit there unfortuanlly

[wanton echo]

fp phase wont reset 🙃

[stable blaze]

Have you been resetting them alot?

[glass hedge]

Danke!

[novel plank]

Now that season 5 is over is it possible to get access to the bonus missions that were tied to the reward tracker (Dark Tidings etc.)?

[dense karma]

No

[desert frigate]

so once season 6 starts will dark spores start naturally dropping for me or do i need a brrazz intel active at all times now

(i have some gain in the season 5 rep track)

[desert frigate]

also, like, has anyone seen any dark spores drop since the season ended?

[sand stirrup]

Based on past seaons, you have to use the season companion to get any drops at all

[desert frigate]

but there is no companion for that season

so…

[glass hedge]

I could swear I've gotten the Dark Spores pop up message recently

Question: I've bought some items fro Cartel market, but never CLaimed them. IS there a way to see purchase history so I can figure out which frigging toon I bought them on?

[shy coyote]

it doesn't matter on what toon you bought them, they should be there

[glass hedge]

See, I'm only seeing it on the toon I bought it on, which is the weird part.

[brave hollow]

yea the unclaimed tab is characte-specific

and no, there is a log that has all your purchases but it doesnt show character name

that's why I recommend having one dedicated character for all cm purchases

[shy coyote]

huh it's so weird considering CC are account-wide
sorry for misinformation =)

[limpid wave]

Hello, does anyone know about the subscription system? We want to get the 180 day package, but we don't know how it works.

[dense karma]

What do you not understand about it?

[desert frigate]

Pay money, get 180 days subscription time credited to your account. When the 180 days run out, if you still have the plan active, it'll do the same thing again.

If you cancel the plan at any point you will remain in subscriber status until your credited days run out, at which point you will revert to preferred.

[shy coyote]

i don't understand, i use the same UI on all my alts but on one of them i can't see the achievement tracker, anyone ever had this problem and what could it be?

[desert frigate]

is it seriously not possible to get old season companions if you missed them? (e.g. fen, phalanx, amity)

[mild forge]

no way to currently, they can always make them available for season tokens or something along those lines, but for now not possible to get them

[dense karma]

The point of the seasons is to make people take part in them for the rewards on them which will be only limited time stuff

So no

[swift swift]

hi there! I am a returning casual player and my item rating is 324. Looking at the new system for increasing item rating, it seems really tedious.. As I dont do any veteran or master content, is the dps increase going from item rating 324 to 336 worth it? thanks!

[stable blaze]

Do you just do story content?

If so then yes 324 is plenty for doing any story content

[swift swift]

Yeah, only story mode stuff. Thanks!!

[desert frigate]

okay but like the achievements are still there taunting me

if they were 0/0 i'd leave it but they're not

[dense karma]

Tis a shame

[desert frigate]

I'm not asking for any of the particular season rewards other than the companion, is the thing.

[dense karma]

None of them very special tbh not worth fretting over

[desert frigate]

again

achievements

meh, whatever

the achievements aren't set to retired or 0/0 because they will bring the companions back at some point

i just have to keep an eye out for when they finally do

[wanton echo]

Got a bunch of questions about going from sub to pref player:

• Do you keep access to displaying legacy name as a pref player?
• Do you keep access to displaying legacy titles as a pref player?
• How much does it cost to buy artifact authorization in the CM?
• How many favourite slots in the GTN do you get as a pref player?
• Can you buy and use tacticals as a pref player or do they count as artifact items too?
• Do you keep access to guild bank as a pref player?
• Can pref players do master mode flashpoints?

also, whats the price for unlocking artifact authorization account-wide? the price in the CM stays at 1.2k CC even when I try switching from active character to account wide, and the only item I can see is the account wide one

another unrelated question, why is it so hard to find a tempest warden chestpiece for sale on the darth malgus server? istg no one has this thing

[dense karma]

For the stuff i know off the top of my head

Yes you can do mm flashpoints to my knowledge

Yes you keep access to guild bank you just stuck with 1m limit

I believe you can buy taticals yes

The rest you can likely found out on swtoria's website

Tempest warden is a relatively rare set so goes fast once on the market, it also does not tend to be sold seperately

[wanton echo]

"I believe you can buy taticals yes " can I equip them tho?

[dense karma]

https://www.reddit.com/r/swtor/wiki/f2p/

[shy coyote]

1. legacy name - nope
2. didn't pay attention to titles, i was able to use some, not sure legacy or not
3. 1200(single)/2700CC(account), you can see the account unlock cost only if you have enough CC for the single unlock
4. no favourites, sub feature
5. tacticals require artifact authorization, you can keep using previously equipped ones but not new ones (and probably won't be able to give them to your alts, i was getting a ton of warnings when i tried to use gear on alts before buying the unlock, so i recommend paying attention to game warnings to avoid losing authorization)
6. nope, you can buy the CM guilbank access unlock but it works only for items and not credits, so no summons even with the unlock
7. yes

[wanton echo]

ty for the info, btw are the color crystals from the pvp items vendor considered artifact or no?

also, hide head slot, is it free for pref players or subs only?

[shy coyote]

dunno about pvp items, i used one of 2 crafted crystals that don't require authorization for legacy bound gear + various CM crystals for outfits (iirc some of them don't require authorization but they're character bound if not unlocked in collections)

for hide head slot you also need CM unlock =( only previously used outfits keep hidden helmet
though, theoretically, you can copypaste an old outfit into a new one, maybe it'll keep the saved option

[wanton echo]

"only previously used outfits keep hidden helmet"
so if I make an outfit as a sub, turn head slot off, then sub ends, can I turn the head slot for that outfit On and Off or not?
and what if I make a change in the outfit, can I still turn it on or off?

[shy coyote]

sorry, i haven't tested that
when my sub expired my friend gave me the unlock, i think i'd quitted without it xD

[shy coyote]

my friend said once you turn the helmet on you can't turn it off anymore
she doesn't remember exactly how does it work when you change the outfit, said the helmet probably turns on

[pastel osprey]

Do Galactic Season Tokens carry from season to season or no?

[dapper moss]

they do

[pastel osprey]

Alright tyvm

[fiery moat]

After my sub is over, do I keep head toggle?

[dense karma]

No

[desert frigate]

so i've been having an issue with the tacticals achievement (actually ongoing since 6.0 lmao)

i have the cauterized coronary tactical
i use it regularly on my fury mara and concentration sentinel

it is not credited towards the achievement

what do?

[white monolith]

Have you tried mailing it to another toon

I know that sounds weird but sometimes it registers it lol

[desert frigate]

instead of popping it in legacy bank?

i'll try it

[desert frigate]

this actually worked! thanks a bunch

oh also

if i didn't have Fanged God Form in 6.x, will getting Shard of Mortis count towards its spot ion the achievement?

[white monolith]

[fiery moat]

Why is Kotet (compared to Kotfe) feel so rushed and messy and short?

[desert frigate]

Because it is

there were plans for a trilogy of Zakuul expacs but the negative reaction after Fallen Empire led them to condense the planned second and third acts into nine chapters so they could get back to a more normal content spread

[glass hedge]

Anyone have a spreadsheet format/template for tracking gear? Trying to plan out what I need across toons as I have a few about to hit 80 and my memory ain't what it used to e.

[cerulean field]

apparently there’s a droid in odessen called H1-R1 that asks about lana relationship and apprrently locks it in but i never saw the droid in odessen, is the droid still around, was it a bug or did i mess something up?

[dense karma]

There is one on the theorycrafters server

[prime jungle]

Will I be missing a lot if I haven't really watched any of the movies? I watched the original trilogy some 10-15 years ago iirc, but I only know the story in broad strokes.

[brave hollow]

nah nothing. It would help you recognize names of planets and pieces of technology mayb

[prime jungle]

thanks

[brave hollow]

but the games story starts in 3640 bby

that means 3640 before the battle of yavin (the fight at the death start in A New Hope)

so nobody from any movie is alive yet

the factions aren't the same either

just helps to have a general understanding of jedi, sith, the force, lightsabers etc

but no knowledge is necessary

[prime jungle]

makes sense. That I got :)
thanks again!

[sullen grove]

There's really not much to track. Especially since class stats have all been packaged under Mastery. When you first hit level 80, your first objective should be to get level 80 armor. (Currently starts at 324). You can visit the conquest vendor on the fleet and buy a full set of 324 conquest gear, or play a couple flashpoints at level 80 and use the boss drops. You're guaranteed a 324 drop for each slot needed. After which you should aim to unlock 340 prototype gear from Hyde and Zeek. The absolute easiest way to do that is to use conquest comms to upgrade your conquest ear piece to 340, then play some flashpoints. FP bosses have a chance to drop a blue earpiece with the same rating of what you're using. so a green 340 becomes a blue 340. Take that to Hyde and Zeek. After modding out your armor, you'll be 340 and ready to dive deeper into harder content and moving towards BiS if you want.

Oh, you'll probably want to look up your class spec on Vulkk to find out which tactical and legendary implants you should be using. Sometimes the people on the fleet can help answer that question too

[prime jungle]

I'm not able to download the app "security key" form the play store, because apparently my android version is too new. Any workarounds? I'd love those 100 coins per month lol

and how come I need to accept eula and terms of service every time I log in?

[tulip hemlock]

Google Authenticator works for SWTOR.

[glass hedge]

Its not so much WHAT to get, that the guides and all have helped with, its tracking what I already have vs what I need.

So like as my Jugg replaces H&Z gear with 340 Rakata drops, i want to re-use the parts for another tank.

But with 8 toons and multiple builds per toon, its a lot of data.

I'll just have to build something this weekend.

[dense karma]

Can not reuse dps gear for a tank unless you plan to skank tank

[wanton echo]

is there a way to bind the chat window set up to the UI?

[glass hedge]

I have a DPS set and a Tank set for my Jugg as I do both depending on whats needed.

[dense karma]

Apologies read your message wrong

[dense karma]

Not to my knowledge

[desert frigate]

you can use the rakata drops across tanks somewhat

all that flexes is mainhand/offhand (semi-shareable and usually static within roles), implants, and whatever gear pieces you use to adjust for implants

[glass hedge]

Yep, thats basically what I'm doing. So like my shield when I got a Rakata drop for my Jugg/tank, I took the Columi I had and put it aside for my Knight when they hit 80.

Its just tracking it thats the challenge, currently its log out of on, log in on the other, figure what I have stored, etc.

I would use the shared bank but its currently uh... a mess.

Hence I'll just make a spreadsheet

[desert frigate]

No, what I’m saying is, your knight/tank will want the Rakata too

[glass hedge]

Eventually, sure. But getting full sets will take time and constantly shuffling gear between toons arounds like a living nightmare.

[prime jungle]

Why does the game ask me to accept eula and terms of service every single time I launch the game?

it's getting on my nerves a little bit lol

[south sandal]

I think there's a fix for that, try #1006357909019562106

[prime jungle]

thanks

[obtuse wraith]

I started kotet, and realized i forgot to do shroud of memory beforehand, and i can't access it, which made me realize i didn't do Arma Rasa, but it's not showing up in my alliance alerts, anyone know how to fix that?

[upper compass]

Very dumb question, but is there any risk of my account getting in trouble if I several help tickets at the same time? Over about the past two months i I’ve had about three instances of items that should’ve been unlocked not showing up in my collections and an appearance option not working correctly, but I’m just now getting around to submitting tickets for it. I know I should’ve reported these issues way sooner

[dense karma]

Due to you waiting so long not sure if they'll help

[upper compass]

Thanks

[upper jetty]

hey whats the difference between Boltblaster and Demolisher box from heroic missions?

[dapper moss]

Boltblaster is either DPS/heal gear and Demolisher is tank gear

[desert frigate]

boltblaster is dps

[lusty gulch]

whats that little 10 next to the price mean?

[tulip hemlock]

Level requirement to use, iirc.

[lusty gulch]

ah

👍

[wanton echo]

are there normal tree decorations?
not the silly ones like this

[shy coyote]

lmao xD
yeah there are some nice trees on the gtn with this filter

[wanton echo]

are there achievements or decoration unlocks for playing through all of the class story endings (not legendary player)?

like LS and DS jedi or sith

[young cloud]

Calamity gun isn't available anymore right?

[young cloud]

I was gonna say the legendary player, and then you said not legendary player and I was like "there goes my answer."

[stable blaze]

Not to my knowledge

[torn onyx]

Is there a way to see where a toon is in their story? For example, I have several who might be in KOTFE and some that might still be in Revan, while I have some that have done Old Wounds. I hope this question makes sense

[mild forge]

You'd have to just log into one of them and see what their active mission is

[pastel osprey]

If I have no purple missions left am I just caught up with the main story for now on that character?

[south sandal]

Did you just do the Kessan's Landing stuff?

Then you're caught up, that's the end of what they released so far

might wanna spoiler tag that though

[pastel osprey]

Idk how to edit it to make it a spoiler so just deleted can't spoil anything now

[verbal palm]

for future reference, putting || around your message (or specific parts of it) will spoiler tag
will be the symbol, not uppercase i or lowercase L

||tomg spoilers||

[pastel osprey]

Noted, ty

[verbal palm]

gotchu

[grizzled oak]

Any suggestions for good places to farm Sith on Corellia for the achievements?

[wanton echo]

I'd say korriban is a good place, they're all acolytes or apprentices at best so shouldnt put up much of a fight
The overseers shouldn't be too hard to fight either, the lords might put up a bit of a fight

also, rn I have a sub but dont plan on subbing again when it ends, I bought two section X authorizations for character only (25 mil total), I plan on using them on a imp and rep character (1 each) so I can have access to finish the hk51 story line, it should work right?

[grizzled oak]

Korriban isn't on Corellia. 😉 And isn't fully accessible to Republic characters.

[shy coyote]

1 character with section x authorization (imp or pub) is enough, you can do the mission once (put the scanner and HK parts from DK/Coruscant into the legacy bank, you don't need an active mission for scanning), and after getting HK on 1 char you can switch to the opposite faction and claim him from your legacy

[wanton echo]

I got treek on an imp character recently (go curious and found out how to get him), once I opened legacy tab on a rep character I noticed that treek was locked and not purchasable so I'm assuming hk51 is the same

I guess having access on both side could still be useful for WB

[sullen grove]

Treek is in collections, but not HK51.

[wanton echo]

got it ty, in terms of tacticals btw, they're legacy bound and can become "previously authorized" items, so if i buy a tactical, bind it to all of my appropriate characters, would it be previously authorized to all of them?

[dense karma]

Would assume so yes

[wanton echo]

also, all tacticals are considered artifact items right?

[south sandal]

I believe they're all considered legendary

[wanton echo]

ah fuck

[torn onyx]

Is there a vibroknife that is bound to legacy? Sorry, if this has been asked before. I was not able to locate it.

[dapper moss]

Iirc the ones you can buy off the gree vendor if you want moddable. Non moddable ones like the ones you get from the pvp gear vendors and ops/fp/conquest gear vendors are also there too, just might need to farm for the currencies for them

[cyan wing]

I just completed the quest for kallig's lightsaber in the sith inquisitor storyline but i havent seemed to got the item anywhere? Could i have done something wrong?

[desert frigate]

can also get one from the spoils of war vendor

[desert frigate]

oh great, they must have broken it again

put in a support ticket or email the devs

[cyan wing]

i take it i should hold off in fighting zash without it

[desert frigate]

you don't need it to fight that boss

its mostly just nice to have for aesthetics

[cyan wing]

i have to subscribe to open a ticket? that seems ridiculous

i cant find any other way to open a ticket / contact them

[desert frigate]

shoot them an email

[email protected] i think

[south sandal]

Email as previously said, or call customer service https://www.swtor.com/info/faq

phone numbers here

[cyan wing]

i've sent an email

thanks for the help

[desert frigate]

calling customer service can't help with ingame stuff like this\

[south sandal]

Do they refuse or they just can't?

[glass hedge]

Is the tertiary stat on things like Columi gear pieces random, like could I have 3 Columi Boltblasters chests, one with crit, one with accuracy, one with Alacrity? Or is it always Accuracy?

[dense karma]

It will always be accuracy

[desert frigate]

They just can’t. Calling in is for the team that handles account and payment issues.

For ingame issues, email or submit an ingame ticket.

How are general attitudes of players towards newer players who have never done operations before? I would love to do some story mode operations, but Im a bit nervous. are operations kinda like raids in WoW? or are they more puzzle and mechanics oriented like destiny 2 raids? like should I look up everything before joining a group doing an operation? thanks for any help in advance ❤️

[dapper moss]

Majority of the time if you explain that you’re new in a raid group people would be happy to show you the ropes. SM operations (that aren’t R4, Dxun, or Gods) don’t have much in way of puzzles or mechanics aside from “someone click the thing” or “don’t use AOEs during this fight”

Your best bet would be to not find yourself in a “tech frag run” since those are more or less a way to blast thru the op as fast as possible.

It also helps if you’re in a guild that runs raids, they may be able to help you get started if you ask around there too.

[swift swift]

Thanks!! Okay sounds good, im glad to hear that!

[stable blaze]

Are you wanting to do story operations for there story content or you wanting to do them as you're interested in raiding content/ getting better gear?

[swift swift]

Story content tbh! My raiding days are past me, I just want to try them out in swtor and see how it is story and combat wise 🙂

[stable blaze]

Ok so then you likely want to avoid when people mention it's a DF/DP run cause they're people after tech fragments and want to go through as fast as possible which is not really the enviroment you're looking for

While you'll be ok in most fleet teams as ouji said if you tell them you're new and there for the story content, I think the best experience you'll get is if you can find a guild who can help you run through them in order

Depends if there are any on star forge who do that sort of thing but I'd assume there likely is atleast one or two

[swift swift]

Okay I will keep that in mind thank you for the thoughtful replies! I'll avoid tech frag runs and try to check with a raiding guild so it can be a comfortable space, if I can't find that I'll join a fleet team while letting them know its my first time

[dapper moss]

Oh right yeah DF/DP (Dread Fortress/Dread Palace) done back to back are usually sped thru and won’t be ideal to join as a newcomer (ty for reminding me)

[dapper moss]

Best of luck to you!

what is happening here

[brave hollow]

that means you have earned more than enough Conquest points for that goal

the number can continue going up

some conquest-focused guilds hand out rewards to top performers each week

other than that it doesn't do much, though

you get the reward at 100k and that's it

Alright ty, relogging seems to be the only fix

[winged mango]

Hello, new player here- anyone know a good ui to download for jedi knight?

[buoyant ember]

how much is it to fully upgrade both legendary implants?

[stable blaze]

Can walk you through it sometime

[stable blaze]

tech frag wise?

[buoyant ember]

yeah

my napkin math was like 90k or so? if they are all +2 for 6500

wasnt sure if it increased tho at higher ranks

[stable blaze]

So it's way more for your first set

no sorry 6.5k is right

then after the first set and you get all the achievements it's 2.5k each upgrade for any further implants

[winged mango]

Would really appreciate that!

Should I DM you?

[glass hedge]

So this will be my first patch with an endgame character. How safe am I to aug my 344 Rakata / 340 Leg Implants? Are they likely to go up in ilvl with the coming patch or no?

[glass hedge]

Also, follow up question: Is there a way to self-repair as a crafter? Or anything I can do to keep repair costs down?

[shy coyote]

they didn't announce irating changes during the livestream so i think it's safe to augment your gear now
(if/when they increase it later, just remove augments before upgrading your gear, that way you lose only augmentation kits which are relatively cheap)
i haven't heard of any ways to reduce repair costs

[glass hedge]

Thanks!

Also, sign I'm playing way too late, I was staring at ACT and couldn't figure out why I couldn't see my DPS... if you know, you know.

[dense karma]

Hi there sure thing feel free to dm me anytime (also glasses)

[dense karma]

Unlikely to see more gear coming till 8.0 comes out and even then it was over a year between gear changes last time so unlikely to be seeing anymore. So go for the current max and mid/max

There is no way to reduce repair costs unfortunally they just stupidly high

[dapper moss]

Re: repair costs, honestly just repair often and try not to let your gear totally break, and ideally don’t die, the costs go WAY up when you die

[dense karma]

Kinda hard if your progging lol

More incentive to do well I suppose tho

[sullen grove]

Everyone has their own answer. You'll have to try them all. Agent though...Is the best 😉

[trail quail]

Where can I find a mask like the ones the Quesh npcs use? Trying to complete a look.

[pastel osprey]

On Imp side at least it looks like BK-0 Combustion Face Mask (obtainable from underworld exchange vendors on fleet, CM, or GTN) or for the officers it looks like it might be NPC exclusive as it looks to be Voltaic/Dynamic Sleuth masks (CM or GTN) or TD-07A Scorpion Headgear (Imp adaptive vendor) without the glasses.

Otherwise Juggernauts Renowned Headgear from the Sith Warrior legacy vendor in Kaas City or Malgus Rebreather from CM/GTN are a couple alternatives but don’t match nearly as much Edit; Outlander Fixer's Face Mask is also close but lacks the breathing tubes.

[tall harbor]

Can i level up my crew skill to the max without having my character to hit 80? Talking about bio chem, bio analysis, diplomatic

[shy coyote]

yes crew skill lvl doesn't depend on your level
but the number of deployable companions does, and i don't remember at which lvl you can deploy max number (8), though it certainly was way before 80 lvl

[tall harbor]

And those companions can be achieved by story missions I suppose?

[shy coyote]

most of them thru the story, some from Galactic seasons, iirc 1 or 2 from the nightlife event, Darth Hexid from doing 40 group activities, some from Cartel Market (but iirc CM comps can't do crew skills) and maybe from other sources, too

[fiery moat]

Are all stories in parallel with each other?

[dense karma]

No

[fiery moat]

Is there a timeline?

[dense karma]

It's more if you're doing one the others do not happen

All of them follow similar time progression given the expansions always the same

[desert frigate]

the base game class stories and Rise of the Hutt Cartel do happen in parallel

Starting with Shadow of Revan, though, your character is the only one doing the story

Starting with Ossus, the Republic storyline is more or less irreconcilable with the Imperial storyline, so whichever one happened depends on which character you are.

(although I will say ||manaan|| could both have happened)

[shy coyote]

i recall an interesting research on the forum about possible class stories timeline https://forums.swtor.com/topic/837036-class-storyline-order-by-planet-for-altoholics-and-others/

[fiery moat]

I mean are sith warrior, inquisitor, agent, bounty hunter,jedi Counsular,jedi knight, smugglers and trooper all in parallel

[desert frigate]

yes, the base game class stories are in parallel

[valid wedge]

oh that is nice, will help me with my rpg game

[fiery moat]

I asked cuz I did see there are some conflicting companions, jedi consular you can see the imperial agents companion

[foggy canopy]

What are the minimum gear requirements to run Nefra/Dash nim (I'm a Sorcerer)?

[stable blaze]

depends on your role/ how good you are but I'd recommend 340 now adays

while you do not need to be 340 to clear it there is no reason to be doing nefra/dash unless you're already 340 hunting your 344

[foggy canopy]

what about augments?

[stable blaze]

Should have purples they relatively cheap now adays

[quiet nova]

Tbh 336 was already overgeared in most nim content

[quiet nova]

Your ilvl doesn’t matter your dps does so parse on dummy and if you’re doing at least 25k dps you should be fine

[dense karma]

I think 336 was pretty spot on, more the bosses need tweaking less anything else

But for people not as experienced or skilled even with 344 i seen teams struggle on dash. Which i know speaks to there skill not the game but point stands

[quiet nova]

That’s true it’s all skill based not gear based

[dense karma]

There is some gear bases to it with say acc and alc that you need to consistantly beat say someone else

But overall knowledge of a fight and how to act in it/ mastery of your rotation is were 95% of your damage comes from

Rare to see you here koppa, seen you in pvp of late. A return to the game?

Kinda I alternate between WoW and SWTOR when one starts to bore me

Well i've heard plenty about your pvp skill so it'll be interesting to see you around

[quiet nova]

Ofc can ping me on any PvP related questions

[dense karma]

Personally do not have any, but if i see any i'm insure of the answer too i'll be sure too

[quiet nova]

Crossing opinions is always better

[dense karma]

Depends on the situation but for the most part i agree

[quiet nova]

Pvp is way more situationnal which allows for more diverse gameplays compared to pve that’s why I said that

[dense karma]

True there is very little bis. It's all skill based. More skill you have the more you dominate. The choice of class only dictates your role in a team not how well you can do compared to others

[quiet nova]

More than skill I’ll say it’s konwledge based even if knowledge is directly related to skill

what happens to my credits if i sell an item lets say for 10 mil on gtn as free to play?

[verbal palm]

assuming you have your inventory empty credit-wise, the remaining 9mil will go into escrow with you only keeping 1mil

it won't go away, just ain't accessible 'til you subscribe (or use escrow transfers, but those are garbage for the CC prices they're at and are baby change for the credits you get)

[plucky drift]

Is SWTOR a game that has a cheater problem? Or are people in my Warzone groups just complaining over nothing?

I get why they say it though. Everytime I got a warzone match, I hit like a wet noodle and their team just oneshots people.

[quiet nova]

most ppl are uneducated about this game if they're getting oneshot it a skill issue not a cheat issue

cheating dmg is very hard unless its an actual exploit in the game and at the moment there isn't any exploit of this kind

[plucky drift]

I get oneshot all the time and while I know that's a skill issue, I barely do damage to them despite using all my cooldowns.

My teammates, who claimed to be experienced, said that the enemy team is healing without a cooldown and that's why it felt like I barely did damage. And that this healing without cooldown was an exploit / cheat.

[quiet nova]

nah there isn't any cheat of this kind

actual cheat in swtor are very rare and most of them are very obvious like speedhack or teleport hack but there are extremely rare

[quiet nova]

what's your actual ilvl ?

[plucky drift]

I have no idea. I'm still leveling so I didn't consider it important.

[quiet nova]

it is

gear rlly matter for pvp so if your getting oneshot and you're not dealing dmg it's mostly because of your gear

[plucky drift]

So even in leveling, your gear matters despite everyone being scaled?

[quiet nova]

PvP is capped at 336 ilvl so you don't need to go all the way to 344 gear

[quiet nova]

PvP isn't scale anymore it just capped

that's why gear matter a lot in 7.0

[plucky drift]

But my leveling gear at level 50ish is only 150 ilvl max

[quiet nova]

are you talking about lvl 80 pvp or lowbies ?

[plucky drift]

I have a mercenary at level 42 and a sniper at level 71. And both face the same issue: Getting one-shot in PvP and doing no damage.

My powertech of level 55 has the same issue as well.

[quiet nova]

the scaling systeme is bad in low lvl pvp and it's ez to be overpowerd with the good lvl and the good gear

[plucky drift]

Then I might as well not play, I guess. I was hoping to level through PvP.

[quiet nova]

I think there is an exploit with low lvl relics atm in lowbies

doesn't work in lvl 80 pvp tho

[plucky drift]

That could be why people are so strong compared to me. Like I get me being bad and it'd be a skill issue but others literally oneshot me while I take 1% or 2% off their health per ability.

[quiet nova]

It might also be just a lvl 75 with good gear vs a lvl 71 with trash gear idk

But I know there's an actual exploit with relic similar to the one that used to be in max lvl pvp some patches ago

it gives a lot of mastery

more than you should have

[plucky drift]

Will see how it is once I hit level 80. But even then Idk if I got the motivation to gear up once I hit 80 so xD We will see

[quiet nova]

gear is pretty fast this expac

[dense karma]

Can be done in a week easily

I personally do not recommend pvp to people till level 80 and have geared/ learnt about the game and there class

Otherwise you will be dogged on

Okay 😮

[brave hollow]

😭

to actually answer your question, though, it's a legacy title

therefore it qualifies for the entire legacy

decide what outcome you want for your stronghold (I hope you choose speedy, otherwise you deserve the other title xD)

and get the alternative on a different server, then transfer to your main one

[valid wedge]

ah this is 4ever?

[brave hollow]

and the legacy title carries over

[valid wedge]

w8, i can get a title on SS and trasnfer it to DM ?

[brave hollow]

Legacy titles, yes.

[valid wedge]

or you mean a char transfer ?

[brave hollow]

achievements get merged

and the higher completion always wins

so if you have achievement A on server 1

[valid wedge]

O.o

[brave hollow]

and achievement B on server 2

then transfer a character from 1 to 2

you will then have both A and B ons erver 2

[valid wedge]

And of course, as I say that, I get my first. Still, two planets done with 1 drop seeeems lower

[south sandal]

You get it from level 11 slicing lockboxes

So how much of a difference does the Energy Regulators Package make for Engineering Sniper?

if i pick the 2nd class right from the start and make 2 loadouts and switch between them during leveling, will new skills automatically add to the inactive loadout's skillbar or will i have to add them manually?

[stable blaze]

They wont auto add no

[shy coyote]

okay, thank you
i guess it's easier to level using 1 combat style then, cuz there will be another issue with changing gear too often

[quiet nova]

Your skillbars and skill placement are registered in the loadout and you don't rlly need to change your gear while lvling

Is there a way to see your lockouts on all your toons at once? Keeping straight who's done what is a bit of a challenge.

Following a level 80 gearing guide https://swtorista.com/articles/swtor-level-80-gearing-guide/ and want to set up augments etc sooner rather than later. Do I have to buy and level through the gears or is there a way I can have a legacy set with my augments etc and still progress to the best armour.

[wanton echo]

wdym by "etc"

in terms of how to get augments, you can either craft them or buy them on the gtn

every item also needs to have an augmentation kit with the correct type (like MK-11) so u can use the proper augment
you can see which aug kit type your aug needs under the requirements section

also about the gearing guide, theres 2 ways to get the best gear rn:

• Mods
• Upgrading gear
  I recommend using the mods method it takes less grinding, you just need to take the correct quest from hyde and zeek and finish the mission then u have legacy bound mods instead of upgrading every single piece of ur armor and weapons one by one (2 item rating at a time I believe) for all of your characters

you'll still need to take the upgrading route for accessories (implants, earpiece, and relics) because those arent moddable

[paper gulch]

Thanks for all the info! and etc meant the perks or whatever it is that increase speeder speed if that's still a thing. I'll go with the mods route, is there an ideal moddable legacy set or do I just get anything.

[paper gulch]

Also is there any point in me doing the lower item rating hyde and zeek quests or do I go straight for top rating.

[glass hedge]

In my experience, just go right for the top right now (340). Once unlocked you can get every other slot, then a good number ofyour drops (From ops or crates) will already be 340 since they'll match that slots ilvl.

Any moddable item you can equip will do as well, and you can overwrite the look with outfitter.

One other route that I took is a mix of Mods and "Saving Gear". So as say my Gunslinger (Who was modded out) got Ops drops at 340, I kept a spreadsheet and stocked away sets in my legacy chest. So when my Sage, Sentinel, Sniper, etc all hit 80, I just threw a mixture of dropped gear at them.

That won't get you ideal stats and you might have to mod a few pieces like weapons and such to hit accuracy goals, etc. But it's cheaper than paying for mods for every piece at first.

I'll then replace what I need as I get more drops or cash reserves for mods.

Only applies if you have multiple toons, of course, and once one is fully kitted out

[wanton echo]

yes go straight to the max one, I'd recommend doing 340 prototype first (gives blue border mods, look up the earpiece trick with flashpoints to do the mission), then once you've gotten some experience in ops, take the 340 artifact mission (gives purple border mods) since you'd have a 340 artifact item from an op

Side note: I've never done the artifact 340 mission btw because im not always a sub so I cant use artifact items, so I never bothered doing it but im guessing they give better stats than the prototype ones so thats why I mentioned it above

[glass hedge]

For the enhancements specifically, correct.

[wanton echo]

btw u only really need to do this on 1 character cuz the mods are legacy bound so u can mail them to ur alts or transfer via legacy bank

[glass hedge]

Yes, though there's a 2 hour timer after you buy them before you can put them in the legacy bank, so you have to plan ahead a bit. (or equip them on a piece of gear and remove them, but that then costs extra credits).

[wanton echo]

those are legacy bound yes?

[wanton echo]

mailing them gets around that timer right?
you'd be mailing 8/email (or 1/email as pref) tho

[glass hedge]

Yes, both mods and enhancements are legacy bounds yes. I think you can mail them, but there's also a cost for htat and I'm not sure what it is

[wanton echo]

100 creds per mail

number of item attachments dont affect the cost

[glass hedge]

THat's it? FOr some reason I thought it was MUCH more expensive...

[dense karma]

Just to clear something up here 340 is NOT the max gear @paper gulch

340 is the best moddable gear possible however purple 344 gear is infact the best gear in the game you can obtain

Here is my gear guide for 0 to 344

[paper gulch]

Thanks everyone!

[gaunt perch]

@ Mods, can we get this pinned?

My apologies if it is

[dense karma]

I'd prefer to write it up somewhere so it's better visually

Rather than abunch of screenshots

Also best to ask in #contact-mods

[brave hollow]

been a while since I last played a male inquisitor but I believe that while you can || resume the romance, there is still no marriage if that's what you mean. ||

[gaunt perch]

Ah ... Koth is dead. Best feeling yet since I returned to this game! (I left at end of KOTFE)

[shy coyote]

can you leave an ops instance, change your combat style and go back? if yes, will it place you at the start or return to the same spot where you were before?

[stable blaze]

Yes you can do it, places you at the start of the operation

[wanton echo]

you can just take the taxi from there tho

[placid panther]

which crew skill should I choose first for f2p player?

[brave hollow]

considering you don't have a full 3 crew skill slots, you can't really craft with a single character

either you will have to divide the 3 skills to properly craft a category of items between multiple chars

or, which I personally prefer, only focus on mission- and gathering-skills for the time being

that way you can earn credits and either stuck up on materials or sell the materials for even more money

[untold vault]

got a friend who keeps getting stuck on this screen, he says "the game forces 4k" despite his monitor being 1080p

[brave hollow]

tell them to rightclick the game in their steam library

go to properties

general

set launch options

and have them enter -screen-width 1920 -screen-height 1080

if that gets them to the main menu, they can then adjust the actual ingame settings and delete the steam stuff again

[untold vault]

apparently alt+enter worked

so hes fine now

thanks anyway

Will the storyline be different for different classes? For example, if a Sith warrior chooses a juggernaut and a sorcerer, will the storyline be different?

[brave hollow]

the stories are completely seperate from the combat styles

the available stories are

• Sith Warrior

• Sith Inquisitor

• Imperial Agent

• Bounty Hunter

• Jedi Knight

• Jedi Consular

• Trooper

• Smuggler

[sullen tiger]

is it possible to get the endurance mek sha datacron with only level 1 mount speed ?

when in doubt use rocket boost

that's equivalent to rank 3

dont have

[cunning iron]

How do I grow my guild it's small right now and I've been trying to get members for a while but nobody is joining what should I do to get more people?

[dapper moss]

The ticket I’ve seen is to advertise in the general planetary chats like Korriban, Hutta, Drommund Kaas, Tython, ord Mantell, and Coruscant. Say who you are, what your guild can offer, and if applicable, what your perks are.

[cunning iron]

I have advertised many times on Korriban and nobody wants to join

And hutta few times and drommund kaas

Not one person

[dapper moss]

Try DK, you’ll have a larger pool there of sith and hunters and agents who would be looking. It’s like a marathon. Gotta keep at it and put yourself out there. You can also advertise in #1008630384549961758 as well to get some feelers out in here too.

[cunning iron]

Unfortunately tried that too around 4 days ago maybe because it's brand new I don't know

[dapper moss]

Unfortunately this is something that takes time, especially as a brand new guild you just barely began to place your roots down and there’s nothing wrong with that! All guilds start somewhere after all! Just gotta keep at it, putting yourself out there.

[cunning iron]

Thanks for the tips Ill keep trying

[dapper moss]

I’ll be rooting for ya!!

[cunning iron]

👍

[wanton echo]

do keep in mind that your abilities used in cutscenes (for jedi and sith) are based on what the classes for those stories were originally:
Sith warrior: Juggernaut and Marauder
Sith inquisitor: Assassin and Sorcerer
Jedi knight: Guardian and Sentinel
Jedi consular: Shadow and Sage
so if you're playing sith inquisitor story as a shadow, you'll still see force lightning in the cutscenes instead of telekenisis or something

[humble phoenix]

quick question from a returning player who started a new char. wich is the most profitable job or does it even matter what job to choose ?

[shy coyote]

if you mean crew skills, i'd recommend selling materials from any gathering skill (scavenging, archaeology, bioanalysis, slicing) from the time-effort point of view

[humble phoenix]

yeah crew skills. k i mean i wanna use the time i quest from beginning to push some crew skill wich makes like at least a use l8er

[shy coyote]

i pick slicing on all my new chars, it's not really useful at low lvl but at max lvl gives grade 11 mats for all types of augments + lvl 11 mission "Off the Radar" to get purple missions unlocks

[river quartz]

Sorry for the really basic question, but: is there a way to get a cheaper subscription?

[tulip hemlock]

Nothing beyond the options available from the swtor.com website.

I saw an amazon premium bundle but it seems it's not avaiable 😦

[pastel osprey]

Is the Onderon daily mission Two Birds with One Stone bugged? Been here at least 30 min looking for the armor evidence and haven't seen it

[desert frigate]

hmm

you might be in slightly the wrong place

what faction is that mission on?

[pastel osprey]

Imp, haven't been to Onderon on Pub yet. Near the marker on the map there are 4 Pub tents around a body of water. 1 is a Pub taxi stop and 2 of the other ones have a few enemies and an object highlighted blue, a blaster and a datapad for the same mission to later plant elsewhere. Logicically the last piece, the armor, would be at the last tent. Nothing, just a pile of crates. Later left to do a different daily in it's place after my companion kept aggroing the turrets at the pub speeder camp.

[desert frigate]

hmm

that's out by the proving grounds, right?

did you check the wooden walkway by the cliff?

[pastel osprey]

Yeah, all I found was a piece of the exoskeleton or whatever it is for the collector quest and the blaster on some sandbags next to the nearby tent. Ironically didn't find any clickable armor in the armor stand in said tent either.

Either way got the 6 dailies done without it so good enough I suppose

[valid wedge]

anyone had a bug where one removed a trained crew skill, learned a new one, and ended with 4 skills on the crew skill list, the one that was removed is at 0 and when i try to remove it again, it says unknown skill - ok, found the solution - it is not a bug, it is a feature ...

[wanton echo]

yoooo 4 crew skills update??

Probs best to ask in #screenshots

[wanton echo]

oh shit mb, I thought it was in that channel

[sudden kiln]

quick and dumb question maybe, but I'm at a loss. How do i move this pvp part of the interface? In the interface editor i can't select it and it makes me maad..

[dense karma]

You can not remove or disable it, without it you'd have no idea how well the team was doing or who had what captured etc

[sudden kiln]

i do not want to remove it, just move it

[dense karma]

Not sure you can do that either unless you open the interphase editor mid match?

[sudden kiln]

well, I've tried opening the interface during a match and its not selectable for me, but I've seen screens were its in a completely different position than mine. Its in my top right corner atm which i do not want

[shy coyote]

i'm not sure what field is that, but have you tried selecting warzones in the dropdown list?

[sudden kiln]

well dont i feel like a numbnut now, didnt even think about the dropdown. Thank you,that fixed it!

[swift swift]

Hi there, I've been getting into ops lately. I had a question for dread master calphayus' fight in dread palace. in phase 3, where half go to the future and half go to the past, what are the callouts for which focus crystal calphayus is holding and the past team needs to destroy? i see people use an abbreviation of letters, but i don't really know what any of it means

[dense karma]

Is this for hard mode or story mode?

Cause in story mode no callout is needed as the crystal gets marked by a white circle under it

In hard mode the call out depends how the team wants to do it some teams do it a little differently. Typically when i've taken people to do it. We say top or bottom right/life then call out time on a clock.

So for example. Top right 6 aclock

[swift swift]

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it gets marked by a white circle under it in sm, i didnt realize, thank you

[swift swift]

i appreciate it ❤️

How many reputation points does a green, blue, and purple gree reputation item give? I've got 36 green 27 blue and 9 purple (might grind for more) and I wanna see how much rep points I could get after weekly reset

[brave hollow]

are you subscribed

and are you in a guild with reputation bonus?

the base values for a subscriber without guild bonus are 270 for green, 630 for blue and 1440 for purple

[wanton echo]

preferred

I could claim them on a character with guild rep bonus

[brave hollow]

how big is the bonus? 10%? 15?

thta matters for calculation ig

[wanton echo]

15%

[brave hollow]

I haven't been preferred in...... an eternity but I believe the sub bonus is 50% so you would get 65% of the values I posted + 15% from guild so.....

207 green
483 blue
1104 purple

but I am guessing a bit here

65, not 75

[wary wind]

guys what is that lighstsaber called that has like a blue crystal at the bottom?

[brave hollow]

PvP vendor has Warforged (republic) or Omenbringer (imperial) at valor rank 42

A vendor on ossus also sells one but idr the name

[wary wind]

ah thank you

what would the best crew skills be for my powertech? im not subbed yet. might get into raiding at later stage

No special crew skills that fit different classes really tbh

how many GS tokens can you get from subscribers login rewards only? (if there are any at all, i may misremember)

[slow narwhal]

Can i craft dyes as a preferred player?

Yes

[untold vault]

whats the "canon" agent class in your guys's opinion, operative?

[south sandal]

I like operative agent, yeah, but sniper's aight

[untold vault]

might make a female operative agent, only issue are the f2p female hairstyles suck 😭

oh well i'll have to make do with what i have

[glass hedge]

Was reading a guide on Hatred Assassin that suggested that Lacerate could "Refresh" DoT's... not seeing that happen. it's SPREADING DoT's, but not refreshing them. Am I mis-reading something?

[dense karma]

I don't know assassin that well but unless it's a different ability tree choice then no it just spreads dots not refreshes them

[wanton echo]

I know that macros aren't allowed in this game, but for what exactly? like I know that it would make pve and pvp unfair because of increased dps output, but what if you used it for removing user error (same normal human speed)? or using it for spamming consumable items like companion gifts or claiming decorations? where is the line drawn with macro usage?

[desert frigate]

dot s

dot specs typically don’t get auto refresh

[gentle vale]

How much CC does it cost to unlock Platinum items (e.g. Revan Reborn armor set) for all characters in collections? An armor set and a weapon to be precise

[dense karma]

400-600cc if memory serves

[verbal palm]

400 for gold/plat majority of the time

some items will have different unlock prices (i.e a gold for 60CC) but otherwise that's the typical

[wanton echo]

some tacticals might give the auto refresh like veng jugg

[desert frigate]

true, or spiteful saber for anni mara

but you don't get to refresh everything usually

because dot management is part of playing a dot spec

[young cloud]

Is there a way to get stuff from previous seasons?

[nimble fern]

hey for tank enhancements should I use the 340 purple ones from Hyde & Zeek the blue enhancements have +522 End, +585 Absorb, +371 Def were the purple had the same absorb +614 End and +211 Def

[dense karma]

No sorry

[dense karma]

344 is always better, after 336 extra stats into def and absorb do not matter so much

[young cloud]

Goodbye Calamity then

[nimble fern]

I'm asking about the 340 purple mods from hyde and zeek they don't got 344 stuff on them do they

was just wondering about the loss of Defense from the bule one to the purple is all

[dense karma]

For 340 people from me knowledge went for blue

[stable blaze]

The "returning stuff during the expansions and getting arcann are very different things

To get arcann you must choose certain light side options during the expansions to get him at the end of them

As for the returning companions you must finished the expansions and go further for some of them to get special missions to get them back or call them back to you earlier but this will mess with the story a little

[untold vault]

So im currently level 37-ish, i finished taris and now im on hoth, only issue is i havent played in ages and i kinda forgot the whole leveling up stuff>
Whats a good way to level up?

[formal roost]

If I remember correctly, you can get a blue version of it from the collections vendor on the republic fleet. I wouldn’t spend the money for it right away until confirmed though

[slow narwhal]

just doing the story is plenty xp

and heroics ofc

[honest seal]

If you buy hairstyles in the customizer at bazaar, you still have to pay to go back to the old one right?

[south sandal]

You have to pay CC every time you make a change in the appearance designer yes

[honest seal]

Ok thanks

[untold vault]

For the fashionistas in the server, what are the best f2p clothing sellers?

[lime flicker]

adaptive vendors on the fleet and dromund kaas/coruscant (very cheap), specialty goods vendors on various base game planets (more expensive but still relatively cheap), reputation vendors (if you're willing to grind the rep)

[dapper moss]

With the release of fitted gear as well, you can find some really nice pieces for under 1 mil on the GTN too by searching “fitted”

[deep flax]

ive got a question regarding the F2P credit cap, if i was to get an outfit and sell it for higher than the F2P limit, what happens to the extra credits that i dont have space for? is that stored somewhere else?

[lime flicker]

Anything over 1 million that you earn will go into escrow, which is a storage that (I believe) goes up to ~4 billion credits. If you subscribe, you will automatically get whatever credits you had in escrow. You can also spend cartel coins to take credits out, but it's not really worth spending coins. If you have credits in a character's escrow, they will be shown in the currency tab of your inventory.

[deep flax]

ah okay, cool. good to know it doesnt just disappear, or not allow me to sell stuff because i cant hold all the credits... got a lot to learn since i came back recently lol

[agile totem]

[slow narwhal]

GTN question: if I list 300 of something do I only get the money if they all sell?

[brave hollow]

no. With the new system, it doesn't matter how many you sell

since the GTN will always give a buyer the single cheapest unit

[slow narwhal]

so I will get paid one by one then

[dense karma]

You'll get paid once you claim the money from each

[quiet bone]

is it worth spending credits on starship upgrades while you're leveling your first toon?

[dense karma]

No

[fiery moat]

Just started playing, chose Sith Assassin, what should I focus on early game?

[fiery moat]

Okay.

[quick sigil]

hi, i was thinking about playing the game for the first time and i was checking the price of sub, for me sub on steam its almost half the price on official website, how does that work? asking since steam has very negative reviews

[south sandal]

The negative reviews probably come from the fact that Steam purchases don't always go through. Your Steam account and your SWTOR account need to be linked properly and even then it doesn't always work and people need to contact customer service to fix it

It's safer to purchase off the website

[quick sigil]

but its half price on steam, how does that work

[dense karma]

You sure you reading it correct?

[quick sigil]

steam shows 30 PLN (my currency), official website shows 15 USD, multiply that by 4 to get PLN, itd be 60 PLN

[dense karma]

That'll be it for you then

The website only trades in usd

[brave hollow]

website does USD, Euro and GBP

[quick sigil]

kinda weird, i expected steam to have higher price lol

anyway thanks guys, ill check if theres any trouble with steam sub

[shy coyote]

is there a chat command to roll a random number? how do you use it? i saw that in a group visiting each other's strongholds for the achievement to figure out whose SH is next

[dapper moss]

It’s usually “/roll” which does 1-100 automatically.

I think if you want a specific number you can type “ /roll 20” for example which would be 1-20

[shy coyote]

great, thank you =)

Yes

[brave hollow]

check the swtor.com account page

if it doesnt have the date of creation for some reason, check the cartel coin ledger

it lists every instance of gaining and spending CC

and will have your achievement grant for finishing the starter Planet for the first time

[shy coyote]

is this bonus useful anywhere? (i wonder if i should pick this mount on my main char or on my "mount collector" char that i don't play)

[verbal palm]

far as i know, that utility has been removed from all mounts for a while

[shy coyote]

ah so the description is outdated, good to know, thanks

[zealous willow]

How do I get darth malgus armor and his mask, I saw some dude wearing it and now I want it

[verbal palm]

trading / GTN / CM (under the assumption that the CM has it up; sometimes it'll trade in and out items showcased)

[zealous willow]

I also heard you can craft his mask or get his mask through a quest?

Is that true?

[verbal palm]

you can deffo get similar rebreathers through random drops, crafting, that sort of thing
https://swtorista.com/armor/rebreather

but as far as being properly named "darth malgus' rebreather" goes, that's through the trio above from your first question

here are the three CM sets/pieces associated with him

if unable to get the armor(s), there's bound to be ones very similar like how the rebreathers are

here are their prices on the CM

[zealous willow]

Ahh got you , and is there any way to get the currency needed for the armor and mask that doesn't involve spending real life money

[verbal palm]

achievements and security key; certain achievements will give 20CC per (it'll show whether it does or not), and security key gives 100CC per month that you have it

you can get a fair bit of CC via achievements by running through the 8 origin stories

[zealous willow]

Gotcha so just do those and I can get a lot?

[verbal palm]

example pic on how those achievements will look

yeh you can rack up a good bit

achievements are per server too, so if you want you can rack them up on each server

[zealous willow]

Ooh will do, ima get that armor and mask quickly

[verbal palm]

here's a SWTORista vid on the security key; description has certain parts you can jump ahead to
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2M-SCnvdXK8

[zealous willow]

Ooh thank you!

[verbal palm]

side note, there's the possibility the app isn't able to be downloaded on your phone due to how new of a model it is
if that's the case, other authenticator apps will work just fine as well

[zealous willow]

Gotcha

[verbal palm]

good luck on rackin' up that bread 🦾

[zealous willow]

Thank you!

Also in the meantime where can I find the adaptive gear vendor

[verbal palm]

on fleet, will be in the "Supplies" section, outer rooms far-left
on dromund kaas, the NPC will be in kaas city
for coruscant, i will get back to you on that as i proceed to travel there to refresh my memory

[zealous willow]

Alright

[verbal palm]

coruscant, when you go down the staircase infront of the senate tower, npc will be in this room my character's in

[zealous willow]

Alright ty for the help and how do I check how many credits I have?

[verbal palm]

press i, bottom-right of that tab will be the amount on your character

[boreal inlet]

@verbal palm has become a Hero of the Revanites for reaching rank 10.

[verbal palm]

tomg

assuming you're f2p/preferred and you're getting close to 1mil credits on your character, you can put it into your Legacy Cargo Hold so that it doesn't go into escrow
that cargo hold will be accessible to all characters in that legacy (server) yer in

and for future reference, kaas city's adaptive gear vendor will be where my char is in kaas city

[glass hedge]

Is there a way to "Test" orbs frames? Trying to setup a timer for Primed Ignition but the Ops dummy on my ship isn't a "boss" so it doesn't show them in the frame.

[dense karma]

Go with a premade team you know into sm operations to give you chance to test it at your pace

[glass hedge]

Gotcha, but there's no way to test it outside of being IN an Op, aye?

Crap. Still struggling with how to even create the trackers for DoT's and debuffs. I've got a best guess, atm, but it's taking some figuring out. A manual would not go amiss.

[dense karma]

I'd recommend if you not already joining the theorycrafters server and asking the creator of orbs who is there

Or other people who play the same class as you. May know a good way to set it up

Or they may just tell you to keep track yourself lol

[zealous willow]

Do I get to meet darth malgus as the sith warrior character

[verbal palm]

everyone gets to at some point

both imp and pub characters

[zealous willow]

Gotcha

[zealous willow]

Where do I change my characters appearance?

[verbal palm]

character model or space barbie (outfits)?

[zealous willow]

Character model

[verbal palm]

if character model, any Appearance Modification Station; will cost CC to make any and all changes involved there
if outfits, press C and go to the Outfitter tab; will only cost credits, and you can have up to 32 space barbie slots

[zealous willow]

Gotcha and how do I go to the imperial fleet?

[verbal palm]

appearance modification stations can look like either version here

press P, go to General tab, fleet pass

[zealous willow]

K and does making a guild cost cc?

[verbal palm]

no

[zealous willow]

How do I switch companions?

[verbal palm]

press N, and to the right of each companion you have there'll be a button with a triangle
click that and it'll switch

[ruby barn]

I tried to do the date night quest with lana, i accepted it went on my ship and it was completed?, idk if that was a bug or mb i did smt wrong?

[zealous willow]

How can I get stronger lightsabers

[dense karma]

What level are you?

[verbal palm]

turning on ping since its been a couple of hours, but
there will be a datapad to interact with that'll give the mission proper
for inq it was by the bed, in theory that applies to all origin ships but i'm not sure

then at that point it'll tell you to go to [x] world to meet up with yer luv

[zealous willow]

Lvl 22

[dense karma]

Then there is no need to worry about your gear currently

[verbal palm]

yea what you come across during your story, whether via mission rewards or random drops, will be more than enough

for a very, very long time

[slow narwhal]

if you really want better gear anyways, there's heroics (loot box), flashpoints (sub or cc needed for the drops), adaptive gear (needs mods)

[cerulean field]

is there any recent guides or vids on how to gear kinda fast (ik it tikes a while) for just getting 340 at least which is enough for me not really tryna go for 344 but if there is a easy way of soloing it then sure

[south sandal]

https://swtorista.com/articles/level-80-solo-gearing-in-swtor-7-1/

https://swtorista.com/articles/swtor-level-80-gearing-guide/

Best you can get solo is 340 blue mods from Hyde and Zeek

[desert frigate]

you and i have different definitions of solo

if you're willing to join SM ops runs you can theoretically get full 344 rakata

[south sandal]

Who, me? I don't consider doing operations solo, no

but then you can exchange other currency for the op currency to get rakata gear, maybe

[desert frigate]

Joining SM ops off fleet is basically solo as these things go

show up, do the work, get your loot, talk to nobody

[south sandal]

You still need a minimum of 7 other players to join you, no? Easy group content still counts as group content to me /shrug

Not to mention you can only do those ops as a subscriber

[serene timber]

How I can be more powerful as an imperial agent ? Let's say the damage how I can increase the damage ?

[glass hedge]

Probably need to be more particular to your sub-spec you're looking at (Sniper vs Operative, Marksmanship vs Engineering vs Virulence). I generally recommend the VULKK guides you can google. That at least got me started.

Question: I'm seeing different Operations weeklies on different instances of the Fleet... is that normal?

[dense karma]

That happens on reset day for some reason. Imperial fleet 3 show the current weeks objectives while the others show the previous weeks
This is then fixed on a wednesday

No idea why it's like that but it is

[dense karma]

What level are you and what class/spec you playing?

[forest vortex]

How do you know you're considered weak?

[serene timber]

I mean I visit easy planets and the one enemy destroy me or powerful one take about 5 minutes

And my rate is 101

[dense karma]

That sounds more like you're not playing your class correctly less that it iself is not strong

Playing as a gunslinger you want to be using your companion on tank mode and attacking from distance to avoid being hit

You're a glass cannon

Big damage don't take it well though

[serene timber]

So what about the damage ?

And yeah I use cover

[dense karma]

If you mean in terms of dealing damage simply read your abilities tool dips. Look to see what does the most damage and use those the most often

But gunslinger is a class that struggles in early levels and gets much stronger over time

[serene timber]

So any tip I can deal more damage?

[dense karma]

As i said here

If you really struggling for some reason. You can go to your factions fleet and buy modded gear that matches the max possible gear at your level

But you really shouldn't need to be doing that

[serene timber]

So I need to do more side missions that offer powerful stuff

[serene timber]

Thanks for the tip

[dense karma]

Side missions wont give you different gear no

You will have to go to the fleet and by mods to augment a set of moddable gear if that's the path you choose

[serene timber]

Oh ok

[slow narwhal]

you can do the heroics too but its random ish gear

[stable burrow]

do yall have any tips for chapter IX of kotet? Rn i'm getting destroyed because I can't summon a heal comp and arcann runs in and dies in 2s

[stable burrow]

nvm I bossed up

[sour spoke]

is there a way to earn around 400k credits within an hour or two?

[sand stirrup]

Heroics probably, at 25k each🇧🇿

[mild forge]

If you're level 80 you can do a Dread Fortress and Dread Palace Story Mode tech frag run and exchange for an oem or rpm which, on SF, are going for around 28 mil. A good group and clear DF/DP SM within an hour easily

[quick sigil]

hey, which suits better the assassin - sith warrior or inquisitor?

[south sandal]

Inquisitor since it was originally locked to that origin

but eh, personal preference

[quick sigil]

thank you, thats actually what i wanted to know

[desert frigate]

does anyone know if there are stronghold decorations you can gather the grade 11 stuff from?

[tulip hemlock]

Last I checked, they do not exist.

[desert frigate]

shame

[onyx ibex]

Ever since I downloaded the newest patch, it’s making me agree to the terms and conditions every time I log in. Anyone have any idea why?

Darn. I’m using Steam Deck so I really don’t want to go through the hassle of using a non-Steam launcher

[mild forge]

You can just immediately uninstall the standalone launcher after you copy the file from it over to the steam files

[fiery moat]

Yeah! My bad, forgot I posted this message, but I need would appreciate the info!

[dense karma]

Well my question again, what do you mean? Do you mean you wish to know to rotation for an assassin spec?

[shy coyote]

where do you pick the one-time story mission for the Gods From the Machine ops? i think i accidentally abandoned it, but forgot where the NPC was

[dense karma]

Think you can pick it up inside the operation?

Not 100%

[shy coyote]

i recall i talked to a scion with a purple quest marker some time during the iokath storyline, i thought it was a part of the main quest
but maybe it's not possible to pick again after being abandoned, like planetary arcs =(

[dense karma]

Never abandoned it so not sure tbh, i would assume it can be gotten again but maybe not

Not sure who i could ask about it

[shy coyote]

nevermind seems like it was the mission "Facing the Machines of War" picked from the Iokath mission board https://swtorista.com/quests/index.php?planet=iokath and it autocompletes after the first boss without any final conversation
so weird it doesn't require completing the entire ops

[onyx ibex]

What’s the latest into the game you can not flirt with Lana before the flirt options disappear? I’ve had an arc planned out since the beginning of my JK where he hates Sith with a burning passion and initially wants to kill Lana but slowly comes around and then eventually falls for her

I’m thinking of not flirting til she breaks me out of the ice on Zakuul. That should be fine, right?

[onyx ibex]

Dang nobody knows

[glass hedge]

If you'reclose to capping on OP-1's and so you might as well buy someting to level up as opposed to waiting on a drop, is there common wisdom as to which item to buy?

I'm thinking it's either weapon/offhand, since those are the least shared across classes or Relics since you want specific ones.

[dense karma]

Relic's in my opinion

[jade moth]

Returning Alignment tokens?????? It was requested by others since 2021 i guess, it was said, that they have plans to give it back in some way and like we have 2024 and still nothing! I was lucky enought to get Dark Side stuffs, but not Light Side! Give them back pls

[dense karma]

This seems more like a statement less of a question. And no one here has the power to make ingame changes based on requests

Currently there is no known plans to my knowledge for there return

[desert frigate]

It came out when the first boss was the whole op

[fiery moat]

What are good abilities as a Inquisitor Juggernaut?

Early game

[south sandal]

It's going to be situational. Your best bet is to learn what your abilities do and keep them handy, and pay attention to your skill tree and what those choices do

[livid girder]

What are the best gear sets for DPS, Heals and Tanks? All Rakata or is there a catch, because Columni is more expensive at the marchant?

[dense karma]

344 rakata is best for all

[glass hedge]

Any common wisdom on where to spend tech frags once all my builds have their legendary implants? I suppose the next step would be gold augs and the materials for those? But anything else I should consider?

[desert frigate]

gold aug mats primarily

[ruby barn]

At one point my character was getting 2 supply crates instead of one, but it disappeared recently.
Is there a way to get it back or mb have that on a diff character?

[verbal palm]

from lvl61 to 66 your character can get double alliance crates as a reward
after that range it's back to 1 crate

so basically after that point you'll need to go on another character of that level range to reap the benefits more

[ruby barn]

Oh okay thanksd

[shy coyote]

how many people with the active mission "The Shroud's Last Stand" (macrobinoculars h4) do you need to complete the mission? i heard different opinions, one person said i can take helpers who already completed or never done the mission, and another person said i need minimum 2 players with the active mission to be able to click stuff (+helpers for the rest)

[dapper moss]

Iirc I was able to help friends out and click stuff as someone who had already done it. So I think the only ones who can’t rly help are the ones who don’t have the mission active (I’m not entirely sure about that)

[desert frigate]

One with the mission, three helpers

[shy coyote]

thank you

[slate vessel]

Getting this error when trying to use interogation probe on shady character... any clue?

[dapper moss]

likely that someone else got that shady character before you did so you need to find another

[slate vessel]

Ohh I see, odds are I won't find one then lmao.

[dapper moss]

it ususally happens in busy instances, sometimes i go to a pvp instance or one that's less populated to ensure there's less waiting around

[dapper moss]

Forgot to add that the wait for them to reset is just a couple minutes, so it’s mostly a waiting game and hope someone doesn’t try and snipe one out from in front of you

[slate vessel]

I notice that sith warrior goes through the same places as inquisitor, will it be the same for imperial agent/bounty hunter?

[brave hollow]

roughly, yes.

the general planet order is the same

the places you visit BETWEEN planets are specific to the story

as in sapceships, stations etc

the only difference for republic side is that taris and balmorra are swapped in order

[slate vessel]

okay thanks

[slate vessel]

What's the point of a pvp instance by the way? I don't believe that I can see opposite faction players on imperial planets anyway, so what is the purpose/benefit?

[brave hollow]

most planets are not faction specific

so you could run into players of the opposing faction

the bases are just in different locations so it's not super common to have the same routes

PvP instances are also pretty dead nowadays

I think more people (like me) use them to NOT encounter people rather than to encounter people

[desert frigate]

i use them to get at another copy of a worldboss mostly

[livid girder]

true, that instances are also very useful for digging with your droid, nearly no competition there

[quick sigil]

how is combat spec of sentinel? just curious if its good for leveling from 1 to 80

[dense karma]

Anything is good for leveling

[quick sigil]

no i meant like if by lvling with combat im making it unneccesarily harder

[dense karma]

Nope unless you go tank or healer nothing makes leveling any more harder than needed

[quick sigil]

great, thx

[crude path]

yo what happens if you "misuse BBA fleet transport pass"

is it just a free 10m cooldown fleet pass or does it have actual penalties for using more than once

[desert frigate]

thats just flavortext

also the regular fleet pass is free with no cooldown

so

why try and keep the bba one

[brave hollow]

the regular one only has 0 cooldown after buying all 3 legacy unlocks related to it

[desert frigate]

i bought those ages ago, how much do they cost?

[brave hollow]

100k, 200k, 300k

so 600 total

[desert frigate]

so its a nonentity in the current climate

[crude path]

i just started this character so i don’t have allat

[crude path]

i had a feeling but i wasn’t sure, thanks

[quick sigil]

hey fellas, quick question, what time does swtor reset?

you know, for the daily stuff

[stable blaze]

It's 1pm everday uk time for daily reset and 1am tuesday uk time for weekly reset

[urban gale]

I kinda deleted my security key app and I don't remember my serial key so I can activate it again. What should I do and where should I even ask for help with this?

[crude path]

Redownload it, it shjould still have your codes if you're on apple

[night heart]

quick question I have a friend who subscribed back when the level cap was 75 and we think it did not carry over to when level cap was increased to 80 ( the time he was subscribed) would his cap be 75 or 80 as he was a past subcriber?

[dense karma]

Your level cap is determined by when he was subbed.

If level 80 came out while he was subbed he should be able to level any toon to level 80

If his sub ran out before level 80 came out he'll need to resub

[night heart]

thanks

[night heart]

I heard from someone else that as long as he subscribed (even if it was before the increase) he would get the level increase to 80

[verbal palm]

it's only if you subscribed atleast once, at any point in Legacy of the Sith's existence

otherwise you stay at the cap of lvl75 for having subbed at some point during Onslaught

[dense karma]

That would be factually incorrect

[storm hollow]

Some random guy is offering to give me credits for no reason. Can this get me banned? I've heard stories of people getting banned for accepting credits because the game thinks they're buying it

[south sandal]

No, accepting credits as gifts from other players won't get you banned

Purchasing credits from a third party company however is what breaks TOS and might get you banned

[storm hollow]

How exactly can they detect it 🤔

[dense karma]

They gonna tell otherwise people would find ways around it lol

[storm hollow]

Does anyone know any other active SWTOR discord aside from this one?

[tulip hemlock]

Check for links here: #resources message

[clever yew]

think guild discords are your best bet

[quiet nova]

They cant do the difference between both they usually try to contact you if it’s about a huge amount of money to see if it’s legit credits or if you just bought it

Tbh I’ve never seen anyone getting ban for buying credits

[raw storm]

Some months ago I was actively playing and bought a Crew Member Appearance Authorization (Account unlock), I subscribed for a couple months and became preferred when I stopped playing. I went back into the game again and it seems I can't equip Crew Member Appearances anymore??

in another character it says previously authorized, shouldn't the account wide unlock work for both old and new characters? besides, the ss above was from a character created during my subscription if I'm not mistaken, I just haven't played much with them yet

[dense karma]

You can no longer use them once not actively subbed

[south sandal]

Yes, but they bought the account-wide authorization so it should work

[dense karma]

Pretty sure if you sub after using that item it goes off sub not the item then once you stop subbing the item stops working so you'd have to buy it again

[south sandal]

Wow, that's ass

[raw storm]

Really?

Guess i'll not be playing then :/

[dense karma]

See it happen before for myself

[south sandal]

I still wonder if you email support whether or not they'll give you another one

[dense karma]

It's possible yee

[raw storm]

I've sent them a ticket, let's see

But it is very dumb

[dense karma]

The game is very badly coded so expect alot of stuff like this if you play

[south sandal]

This is the first time I've heard of a cartel market unlock being "undone," hope that's not a common thing

[dense karma]

It's to do with how sub goes over that sort of stuff so game turns off the item but never turns it back on if you stop subbing to my knowledge

But does not always happen

[raw storm]

I bought a lot of cartel coins just to unlock everything I could (I don't have the time nor the patience to try and get it from other players GTN) and then I sub for 2 months just to see how it goes and when it expires I lose everything I unlocked before...? like, WHAT

[south sandal]

Thankfully my artifact authorization seems to remain intact upon subbing on and off

At least I think so

[dense karma]

It's only around stuff like this auth, for normal cartel item unlocks you wont see the issue

[raw storm]

am on a new character haven't found any purple gear yet, let's see how it goes

[dense karma]

Purple gear is not possible for no sub people

[south sandal]

Not possible for f2p/preferred without buying the unlock, yep, unless you already had it and equipped it while subbed

[raw storm]

it seems some unlocks are working

I bought almost every account unlock during my subscription, including the artifact equipment

[south sandal]

Then you might be fine for purple and up

[dense karma]

No i mean purple gear does not drop from bosses for none sub given you can not do ops

If you have already got purple gear then you'll be able to use it

[south sandal]

You can still exchange stuff for purple gear

Never did any ops but I got enough of the components to buy some Rakata pieces

[dense karma]

Why bother if you not doing ops? Purple is alot of effort if not doing ops. Just have 340 moddable blue

[south sandal]

and upgrade them if needed

Most of my gear is the 340 modded but I had enough op-1 catalysts saved up (or I exchanged for them) to get uhh I think it was an earpiece

No extra effort, those catalysts were just sitting in my inventory /shrug

[raw storm]

Is there any droprate for blueprint fragments?

I see it's for the current event and I just dropped one from a monster I killed

[south sandal]

If you look at the Galactic Seasons menu and those weeklies it should tell you how many you get for doing what task

[raw storm]

here right? but do we have an actual drop rate or which types of enemies drop it?

[south sandal]

I don't know that there's an actual number known

[dense karma]

We're never given a actual drop rate figure
