Star Wars: The Old Republic Random Question/Discussion thread - F2P

I have all 12 character slots used >.>; I've thought about purchasing more, but 600 cc per slot is expensive.

My character builds are focused around soloing because I avoid pugs in the game, so I am never quite sure what builds are best for groups.

[Anoat]

Some people will spec for solo, others for PVE group content, and some spec for PVP. It really just depends on your play style. If you are a subscriber, you can buy field respec (with in game credits or cartel coins) for unlimited respecs if you decide to change things up later. You CANNOT respec your advanced class though, (like switching from Juggernaut to Marauder or vice versa), although devs have hinted it might be considered in the future.

I rolled on Shadowlands. Character name = Gannith. Sith Inquisitor. Going to try my hand at Sin Tank this time.

Titled “Become the Outlander,” the trailer shows Knights of the Fallen Empire‘s playable protagonist, The Outlander, which players will choose to either align with the forces of the Jedi or Sith.

EA also confirmed that players going into the new expansion can either bring over their previous characters from The Old Republic, or start Knights of the Fallen Empire fresh with a new character.

In a final note, EA also revealed that players who subscribe to The Old Republic now through August 10th, 2015 will be able to receive a special companion character named Nico Okarr, for free before the launch of Knights of the Fallen Empire this fall.

That looks pretty damn good

12x XP makes my heart warm.

12-30 in the last 2 days not playing very much.

[Anoat]

I've got a bad feeling Darth Marr isn't going to survive this

[Zetanio]

So there's no centralized database for SWTOR stuff anymore?

Like wowhead for SWTOR or something like that?

[6souls]

There is a wikia dedicated to it, also the swtor station app is good to have around.

[Zetanio]

Hey, I finished the story quests and I'm level 52. Wat do?

[6souls]

Ilum is the first planet with additional missions. If you have Rise of the Hutt expansion, you can also start that.

[Anoat]

Well, to expedite your route to 60 I would say go to Makeb and finish Rise of the Hutt Cartel, (the 12xp boost doesn't work on Makeb, but there is a Makeb XP boost you can get once you are on the planet. You have to click on the aid station each time you log in to activate it). After that do the Oricon planet questline. You can also start the Forged Alliances questline (starts on the fleet) and that leads to Shadow of Revan. After that, off to Ziost and that will finish the "main" storylines.

However, if you want to do it in the order of the plot, it goes like this:
Ilum planet quests
Battle of Ilum FP
The False Emperor FP
Ilum dailies
The Black Hole dailies
Belsavis dailies
Eternity Vault OP
Karagga's Palace OP
Kaon Under Siege FP
Lost Island FP
Explosive Conflict OP
Section X dailies
HK-51 questline
Terror From Beyond OP
The Shroud (Macrobinoculars) and Seeds of Rage (Seeker Droid) questlines can be done concurrently, though most people ignore them
Makeb storyline and planetary quests
Scum and Villiany OP
CZ-198 dailies
Czerka Corporate Labs FP
Czerka Core Meltdown FP
Oricon dailies
The Dread Fortress OP
The Dread Palace OP
Forged Alliances storyline (starts on fleet)
Assault on Tython/Korriban Incursion FP (order you do these will depend on if you are Pub or Imp)
Secrets of Manaan FP
Legacy of the Rakata FP
The Shadow of Revan storyline (starts from your console on ship)
Rishi planet quests and dailies
Blood Hunt FP
Battle of Rishi FP
The Ravagers OP
Yavin 4 planet quests and dailies
Temple of Sacrifice OP
Ziost planet quests and dailies
Ziost 2.0 dailies

Now all that being said, most of that stuff is superfluous once you reach 60 and the gear you get from the earlier content will be horribly outdated. Only do it if you want it for storyline purposes or are an extreme completionist.

[Zetanio]

I'm doing some hutt storyline right now. About to ding 55 and lose my 12x bonus

[Zetanio]

RIP fun leveling.

[Anoat]

You'll get 55-60 pretty easily just doing Forged Alliances and Shadow of Revan even without the 12x boost. But you can still pop some of the xp boost items if you just want to get it over with.

[Zetanio]

Didn't buy the expansion and I was sitting at 1xp to 56 for about 6 quests.

[Anoat]

The solution to that is to buy the expansion! You'll need it before the next expansion drops anyway.

It's free after the next expansion drops. Why would I waste 20 bucks?

[Anoat]

That's still two months away. There ain't shit to do to keep you entertained while being capped at 55 for two more months, unless you feel like leveling a bunch of different alts up.

[Zetanio]

unless you feel like leveling a bunch of different alts up.

Yep, doing this.
