I've tried Dulfy, Reddit, and Google and haven't found anything thats remotely up-to-date aside from the Dulfy stuff for PvE. I understand the expansion is near so a few things will change, but it's still kind of frustrating that I can't find any solid PvP stuff.

All the class forums on the official forums have guides otherwise I can answer specific questions.

Is there any reason to finish the companion quests/conversations before KOTFE drops?

I know I get a Legacy perk for finishing them, but will they go away like the old class quests are?

Yes, they go away once 4.0 hits. You don't have to max out affection to 10k but you might want to make sure you do their quests to their conclusion.

Edit for clarification: "they go away" as in, you won't be able to finish them once you start the KOTFE story - which comes with a warning. They're still in the game after 4.0, you just have to complete them before you start the new content.

I read that Shadow of Revan becomes free on October 27th. That means that I likely won't be able to play when KOTF is available for subscribers, right?

Gah, I know that it's only $20 at this point, but it feels like a waste of money when it's available in two weeks.

What's this about level syncing up to 65? Can you skip on RotHC and SoR if you want?

Edit: I'm trying to get some people back into the game, but the new content for KOTF is single-player, right? You can go through the thing with multiple players, but only the main character will get to make decisions, like with class stories?

Well the way FE works is that if you subbed from I think Aug 10 to now you'll get it a week early, on the 20th. If you haven't been subbed that whole time, you get it on the 27th when it officially launches. So you will get FE and SoR at the same time, so like you said better to say your $20.

Level synching works two ways. It scales you down on lower level planets, and it scales you up for Flashpoints. FE starts at 60 so you'll still have to do RotHC and SoR to get there.

And FE seems to be all single player, so you have that right.

gently caress, I always neglected datacrons. Which are the one's that'll suffer the most from level synched mobs?
I guess those planet wide decoration drops will also go up in price?

Talking bout achivs: I noticed that my two launch chars don't have their achievements for finishing the story content and hitting lvl 50 because I maxed them before achievements were introduced.

That should have been retroactive IIRC. I have a jugg that hit 50 way before achievements were a thing and I got the points for it when they came on without leveling another Jugg.

For datacrons, the only ones that won't suffer from level sync are whatever ones - if any - are introduced with KOTFE and the one on the fleet. Every other planet will downlevel you.

At least one of these is properly bugged and won't unlock at all. Agent, I think. If you send a support ticket they'll give you the achievements.

The story ones are not retroactive, the level ones are. I just recently re-leveled a Trooper and Warrior because my chapter 1,2,3 cheevs weren't unlocked, and when I opened a ticket they told me to go gently caress myself.

Alright, so what do I need to do to get this eyepatch that I was asking about last night? Do something with slot machines on the guild ship to get rep to do something else? I've played this game for a couple years now and I still don't know what half these reputation vendors are, that's a bit of a blind spot for me.

Play the slots until you get Outsider rank with Contraband Resale Corp. You can buy coins to play from the decoration NPC on the ship. The woman, not the droids.

You'll also need a cartel certificate. Those can come from the slots but it's super rare. You might have some if you've ever bought crates though.

The NPC to buy it from is in the Cartel market. It's the south elevator on Imperial Fleet. North on Republic I think. It's labeled on the map. There's a platform there with all of the cartel rep NPCs.

The answer to absolutely any question about cartel reps is "pour more money in."

How do I get a cert other than slots and crates? Are they on the GTN?

Certs are legacy-bound, so no--you'd have to luck into one in a pack. It's not hard though--they're fairly common.

Someone calculated the odds at less than a tenth of a percent from the slots, so yeah crates are your only option.

All of them. Sometimes you get them instead of cartel rep items. They're not rare from packs, about 20% or so.

Any crate. Basically every single cartel pack will contain a reputation item (common) or cartel certificate (rare).

Thank you again. I have never purchased a crate off the cartel market so this is also a blind spot for me.

Ainsley McTree

So if crates contain rep items, does this mean my first step should be to buy crates till i get the cert, and then turn to slots to grind up whatever rep I didn't get from trying to get a cert?

Aphrodite
Jun 27, 2006

Probably not. The early crate items aren't as good, I'd find one with decent items and go with that. It'll be super cheap getting the rep from the slots.

Eyepatch doesn't require a certificate. Just play the slot machine till you are at least a friend (I'd go for legend cause it's cheap-ish and easy). Then go pick up the eyepatch.

Friend gets you access to the regulator set (which also doesn't require certificates) and has one of the more interesting belt models.

You don't need a certificate for the eyepatch. All you need is Outsider rep and like 2600 credits.

Ok yeah, this was way easier than I was making it out to be. Got outsider rep in like 2 pulls of the slot machines, lol. Perhaps buying 50 chips was a tad overkill

Max out the rep. The Titles are cool and there's a set on there that has awesome boots and gloves if you like the 1800s Russian infantry look.

I thought I read it here or somewhere else, but when 4.0 hits, the 12x goes away and it just becomes 6x for class quests?

Also, I'm having a ton of fun picking this game up again after I stopped playing waaaaay back when Explosive Conflict was released. Such a fun game and good to play with goons.

Playing light side republic is fun to see the story, but I forgot how much I tend to hate goodie-two-shoes, especially when the Republic side is swarming with them. Although, it's the same when you play dark side Imperial...

I am thinking of doing a new class when i hit 55 on my agent. It is a mix between juggernaut and pt. I love the idea of stabing and setting people on fire. On the other hand, glow sticks.
