May the Force be with you

Rojavon is my first Galatic Republic character to reach level 55. First Sith Empire was Josra. Rojavon also got Taundra Tauntaun mount.

Are there lots of mounts available?

Yes, but the vehicles are easier to get than the animals.

Arachnathena just reached level 55.

Rojavon's new armor

Very Nice!

Czerka Corporations quest line seems to be implemented wrong. Every other planet you visit in the game someone gives you a quest to go there. To get the CC quests your character has have whim to visit CZ-198, just because it appears on his ship's map of the galaxy. When you get there a droid will send you to talk to a character on your alliance fleet. Odd enough one of the dialogue options is to ask where CZ-198, which you just came from is. Anyway that character will send you back to CZ-198. Back on CZ-198 you will pick up some Daily quests. The main quest is short, it just tells you do a Flash Point, followed by a second Flash Point. After you've completed the second one you'll be sent back to that same person on the fleet to end the story line. Flash Points and Daily quests are repeatable. Flash points as often as you want, Daily quests once a day.

The Dread Wars you click on the Priority Missions box on your flet to get a quest to talk to a droid on the fleet. The droid will tell you to go to Oricon. Probably, there should have been a Priority Mission to goto CZ-198. You take your ship to Oricon.

On Oricon you will pick up a quest which is the first of six story quests. Five of the quests are theorically soloable, though I usually find someone to help. One is a Heroic-2 so needs at least two players, four would be faster. Take a few steps out of your base you'll probably be attacked but don't fight back, take a few more steps forward until you receive an Area quest, to kill 50 foes. Now fight back. First time I made the mistake of killing foes with ranged attacked and then when I took a couple steps forward I got the quest. So that fight was wasted. In this case the area is the entire planet. You'll be killing these foes as you do the other quests.

Although they have different names on each side they are essentially the same quests. Except that the empire rescues republic soldiers to force them to serve the empire.

After you've completed all these quests you'll be given a quest to do one of two Operations. An Operation is an 8-16 person mission that's going to take over an hour. I haven't yet done the operations. Also, after doing the quests once you'll find the daily mission box is accessible. It will give you a Weekly quest (yes its available once a week) to do all the quests you just did over again. They will be slightly easier though as you only have to gather 5 items you previously needed 10 of and only have to kill 2 bosses instead of 3 in the heroic. On the other hand, there are no Bonus quests available that weren't available before. Unlike other bonus quests wich give XP these only work towards achievements and so are only needed once per account.

The first time you complete the quests you'll be rewarded with armor. Daily quests reward Basic Commendations.

Czerka I've done once, on Republic side. I didn't like it.

Oricon I've done repeatedly mostly on Empire.

Oh first time through you get the quest one at a time and have to keep returning to camp to get reward and recieve next quest. After the first time through you can grab all the Daily quests at once so you only need to return to camp when you've finished all of them.

Some stores that sell PC games may have Cartel Coin Cards that include a bonus pet. Its also possible to purchase a downloadable card. Best Buy's version doesn't say anything about a mini pet but Amazon's does. November 12th the pet is changing. So buy now to get the current pet and/or wait until November 12 to get the new on. It's $19.99 for 2400 coins. Buying coins in the game doesn't include the bonus pet. Also game adds sales tax, Amazon doesn't.

Thanks for the information, Guybrush!

They implemented buy cartel coins in game and subscribers get their first purchase of coins in game at half price.

Josra just completed Chapter 4: Rise of the Hurt Cartel.

Seems to me Czerka should be Chapter 5 and Dread Wars Chapter 6 but no such title screens appear.

Guy, are you buying coins?

Yes.

Xoanan (6th character I created, 3rd Imperial) is my first imperial character to get all his companions (not counting ship's droid or Treek of of course) to max affection and 1000 kills. He also just reached level 53. Two levels to go.

Xoanan has reached level 55!

Congrats! What's next?

Nasehbo, Jedi Knight has reached level 55 completed Rise of the Hutt Cartel. I'm never doing Makeb again. Once on Empire and once on Republic is enough.

Makeb is not melee character friendly in general (too many large mobs that you have no area of effect skill to thin out) and the last boss on the Republic side is impossible on melee character because it has an instant kill skill that you have to out run and you cannot do that when you're right next to it hitting it with lighsabers. By the time you see its using the skill its too late to run out of rage. A guild member on a trooper had to come shoot it for me while I was dead. I didn't even get the red warning light I just dropped dead.

Oh and the boss double its health points for two people so it was even harder and I was no help dying with barely scratching it.

Eeeek...I hate fights like that
