Is it possible to boost an already-made character to sixty rather than a new one? I played during the big 12x-exp-for-story-missions and that was a ton of fun. Then I hit the first expansion, the exp boost ended, and the storyline was bad so I lost interest.

Yeah speaking of levels and the gaining thereof, I know the new exp is 6x planetary and 6x storyline but is that subscriber only, or do F2P proles get the good exp too? Not really enjoying Sith Warrior that much at high level but not willing to buy an instant 60 character either.

Are the level 60 tokens like the WoW character tokens and it gives you a bunch of basic level 60 gear, or does it just dump you into the world naked and you need to rely on your main to get them into some threads? Still liking the stories a lot but maybe not enough to have to do a bunch of non-storyline quests every time.

My BH's outfit is finally coming together:



Just finished that storyline. Ultiamtely betrayed Tormen and sided with the Chancellor. Partly because gently caress Sith, partly because My Reputation, but mostly because since becoming a Mandalorian I noticed my motivation in missions went from "gimme money" to "gimme a challenge". Corpsing a Sith in his own flagship seemed to fit into that quite nicely.

Would you guys suggest I just focus on storyline missions for Cartel and Revan content, then come back to them when I'm done with the Knights stuff? I don't know how many rewards would actually be relevant even though I'm 65.
Bounty Hunters get a Jawa companion!?!?!?!

Spoilers for the Sith Warrior/Inquisitor plot: So I'm 2/2 on corrupting padawans now. Jaesa's was cool because it felt natural and was a big act climax but wow Ashara's felt just more dumb than anything else.

As a Jedi do I get to un-corrupt Sith apprentices? Turnabout seems fair play.


Also yes LS Sith Warrior is fun.

Jaesa's DS conversion was more fun (turn to the dark side young one. Wait wait whoaaaaa too much dark side reign it in a little), I like Ashara's result better as she figures out a synthesis of the two philosophies.
I've literally only just recruited Ashara so I can't speak to their storylines as companions yet. Jaesa agreeing to go with me was a much more compelling scene though as she got to experience the failures of her Jedi master right in front of her and I gave her a new path to follow. Ashara watched me gun down two of her masters after she herself let me into their secret Jedi sanctum and then went "welp guess I can't go back, I'm yours now" and the VA made her sound barely concerned about it.

Ashara's fall to the dark side happens *after* her recruitment, not beforehand like Jaesa. Ashara joins you because she kind of hated being a Jedi, has nowhere else to go, and if you're threatening she's terrified of you. Her character and what she's doing on your ship only fill in after she joins the party.
I'll look forward to that then. Companion storylines are tied to character storyline progression now right, not the favour system? Fuckin' hated that system.

I've found a use for my useless level 60 token: Making characters, stealing the cool armour from them to put in legacy storage, and immediately deleting them. Some of that armour looks pretty fuckin' sweet.

The beginner travel pack which includes rocket boots and some other neat convenience stuff.


Also new characters should make one of their first ports of call the mission terminals on the Fleets because they give you quests to complete a Warzone (you don't even need to win it, just play to completion) and complete a Flashpoint, both of which give you 100,000 exp which is like four levels right there.

Man I'm really not feeling Operative, so much so that I'm considering just abandoning it and trying Sniper to get my Agent storyline done. I'm using Lethality because it sounded like a Warlock-style path using dots to deal damage, but I'm at 30 now and the dots themselves feel weak and I just rely on Rifle/Snipe/Overload to kill things. Concealment doesn't look like it would be much different. Is this how Operative is or does it get better at higher levels?

Toxic Blast (41) is super-key to the Lethality rotation and will up your DPS by a lot. Concealment focuses more on front-loaded burst damage and stealth/evasion.

When I got to Rishi, it gave me some quest-completion reward of a legacy-bound purple weapon for any class (I think the idea is that you can equip your alts); there was a lightsaber among the choices, so I used that myself. :shobon:
The 'prelude to Revan' thing right? Yeah that's the one I'm talking about, as a Sith Juggernaut I just got the choice of two identical vibroblades. :(

I just realised: You unlock races for all jobs by getting that race to 50 right (i.e. get a Sith up to 50 and you can play as a Sith even on republic side)? So does that mean by making a 60 character using a token you unlock that race by default?

So I sold a bunch of my gold/silver cartel items and have about five million credits to throw around. Rather than do something useful with them like get into some fast 220 gear I'm gonna play pretty princess dressup.

Is it me or is there a distinct lack of 'Jedi-y' armour in the cartel market? If I want to look like a badass Imperial Officer, Mandalorian or Sith Lord I'm spoiled for choice, and most of the republic armour is for Troopers or more 'wizard-style long robes and dresses. Where there is the kind of robes-and-light armour thing going on that I'm after it's usually the stuff storyline NPCs wear and thus ludicrously expensive. Is there any adaptive armour that is more or less like the stuff on the character creation screen?
