Hello, I've been away from the game for a few years I'm kinda overwhelmed.

Thus I have a few questions.

How many characters can I currently play on a f2p acc?

Should I buy stuff with my cartel coins asap or should I always w8 for sales?
I have 9k coins and kinda want the Tulak Hord Armor+the fractured Lightsaber+dyes and weapon modifications for a new Sith Warrior.

What can and can't I legacy unlock and how much/what does it cost?

Can we take off hoods?

Are all items available or are some limited and not available to buy right now?

Also is Thana Vess a companion somehow now?

Thank you to whoever bothered reading and especially answering my questions.

F2P can only have 4 chars.

Cartel Market, I’d buy what you want tbh.

F2P had massive improvements recently, so can remove helmet/mask/hood. Depends on the robe for some.

Can buy whatever on the GTN (Auction House). F2P has a credit cap set at 1 million.

Thana Vesh you mean ? She isn’t a companion as far as I know.

How much does it cost to unlock items for everyone?

#

And can I unlock those items for everyone via a shared collection?

wooden path Feb 10, 2026, 3:31 PM

#

Collection sales happen, depends on the item but most require 400 cc to unlock fully

#

You can yes be sure to unlock account wide

#

So if I have items in account A, can I go to account B and unlock them there?

Also does the collection menu include all items?

Even those not in the shop?

#

Yes if you open collections menu majority is from the shop. Older items not so much. They may cycle back per devs.

Can I also unlock certain dyes for everyone?

wooden path Feb 10, 2026, 4:11 PM

#

Dyes are sadly not unlockable

CRAP

#

Are tunings unlockabke for everyone?

wooden path Feb 10, 2026, 4:35 PM

#

Yup and character flairs

#

Also why are there multiple differently named lightsaber crystals with the same colour?

#

Whats the difference?

#

And what do I have to do for my chest piece's dye to affect my whole outfit?

wooden path Feb 10, 2026, 7:28 PM

#

They do have color crystals only difference is the stats.

Just unify colors, will have to select an option.

Thank you

#

Also where can I go to for fashion advice?

I'm still unsure of my leg pieces and sash.

#

Whats a good dye for the belt to make it fit with the rest of the outfit?

wooden path Feb 11, 2026, 9:16 PM

#

Black

fresh bay Feb 11, 2026, 9:54 PM

#

I ended up using metallic black

#

But black was too strong afterall

#

I think I just need a differenr sash

#

Something slimer or something with more design elements
