O yeah lol , great point , haven't done these missions in ages. Thank you , I'm trying to work out some other planets heroics that I used to do I'm sure Nar Shadda had some when I was trying to get an offhand shield or 3 back in the day, I do recall one heroic 4 used to glitch badly though. Thanks Edited the OP with your suggestion. Cheers, BadOrb.

I beg to differ , fast yes!! Also I haven't included some other really quick heroic 2's and 4's. http://www.swtor.com/community/showthread.php?p=7822079#post7822079 Cheers, BadOrb.

Never thought we would need these two old guides of mine enjoy ! Tatooine republic. Two heroic 2's are require to obtain 30,000 xp in 12 mins. They are on the republic side of Tatooine. It takes a bit of travelling to start with , if you are new on that character on the planet. Firstly you need to open two outposts , Thorazan in the Dune Sea ( the furthest left hand side taxi on the map ) and outpost Espelar Settlement speeder ( Far right taxi on the map). You can open them by just travelling ( so i guess this is for alt's or if you have the patience your first character). I did them both at level 26 but I guess you could be lower. Also at Outpost Espelar start and finish the mission off the Jawa called Krikit ( it's the mission were you rescue 8 caged Jawa's) , Expect to die a few times. After handing it in , a Mission terminal will glow and give you one of the missions). So the first mission is Breaking the code [H2] , it's very easy , at outpost Espelar mission terminal. Run into the doorway , run right and up the ramp ( you might die once or twice ) , press the button. Now return and hand in the mission. The second mission is at outpost Thorazan , it' s the alien on the right called Lapad Dula , he gives you the mission The Long Goodbye [H2] , it is also easy. Just get to the very edge of the sarlac pit and then throw in a bomb , return to Lapad Dula. EDIT - You forgot the title you could get for jumping into the sarlaac pit, which is a nice, fast, way to get back to the outpost. ( posted by LyraineAlei below ty ) That's it 30,000 Xp , o and the 12 mins is from cantina to cantina ( once you open the ouposts ofcourse). It is expecially usefull if you leave a character on Tatooine for a few days , I should imagine you could do these two missions from about 25-33. If you have questions ask away and happy hunting. TL;DR Outpost Espelar Settlement speeder , do mission [H2] Breaking the code , then at Outpost Thorazan , do the mission [H2] The long goodbye. Tatooine imperial. There are 3 Heroic 2's you can do on a daily basis ( if you have other characters to play on in the mean time ). The first one is at the first taxi drop off ( after the starting area ) , it's from a guy stood outside the burning transprter ( he says " aerial bombardment " when you hand in the mission ). This mission takes a bit of practice at level 24 but you can do it , just don't attack the mobs where there are 3 next to each other , you run and click on all the boxes and speeders then run off , then kill the 3 single walkers and any groups of 2 and you will be done. The second Heroic 2 is called black box , I forget the outpost name ( which doesn't help , but just look t up on the net ) , now this one is even easier ( not sure at 24 though ) , you basically twist and turn and avoid every sand person , then you get to the tent with 3 sand people outside it , kill them , then pick up the black box. Then run for your life if you die just come back at the med droid and hand it in. The third one is quite tough ( so maybe level up a couple on those first 2 ) , but you can finish it . It's at the dune sea outpost and it involves prisoners and jedi. The best thing to do is kill two prisoners next to the jedi then evade. Then kill two more , until you have killed ( 5 i think it is ) enough , basically you don't have to finish the bonus until you are level 27-28 really. Then hand it in. Obviously these two guides don't mention the planetary comms but you do get them and also do any Heroic 4's you come across , the Jawa one springs to mind. Can't wait to do this again I only have 5-6 characters that haven't got 100 planetary comms though. Cheers, BadOrb.

Ah I missed the announcement , was out shopping , I can see why you held off working it out now. I am very happy with the conversion rates and after doing 36 tactical's last week between 6 characters I can now go to low level planets on a few of my characters that haven't got 100 planetary comms. Mind you I was going to do that anyway in 3.0 , the heroics that is , shame you can only be 6 levels above other people for them to earn xp. Still I'm sure lots will join up with my 55's just for the comms. Cheers and beers , BadOrb.

I would hate that , but more 2x xp weekends yeah and 2x xp weeks but no I am now avoiding most group content as of now for a long time . O sorry I time traveled and I was a week from tuesday. Cheers, BadOrb.

Yoo Hoo Eric and team * waves * are you all off work on Thursday and Friday ? If so are we getting this information today , tomorrow or Wednesday ? It's getting a lil close don't you think ? Well I don't want to be stuck at the overflow mark on multiple characters if say 186 gear is only obtainable at level 58 now do I , I wouldn't be able to earn any more comms leveling up from 55 -58. I do try , well try you patience maybe . Why buy 180 gear at 55 when you can have 186 gear at 58 is the worry. Cheers, BadOrb.

Well they actually broke it in 2.0 , keep up with the times , we are too over powered and adding 5 more levels would of been a huge task to balance. So they fixed it. Cheers, BadOrb.

I'm in the same boat as you , not sure who this "Michael" is but I don't do what he is concerned about and the Dev reply was a bit odd. Legacy gear was just to share looks ? Well of course it is but also to share the mods within the gear. It will be especially useful when new armor comes out ( like in 3.0 ) to then hand the legacy armor down to an alt or companion , with it being all augmented up and such like. That's what I thought it was for. I hope the changes they plan and make don't change that. You do know that the Tactical and HM FP's have the same entry gear level of 148 ? So therefore are at the same level as each other , just one is trinity and the other non-trinity. Also some tactical's are harder than some HM FP's e.g. Depths of Manaan is harder than Hammer station. There's also nothing wrong with them giving the option to solo some of these missions ( just for the story ) , I understood their reasoning behind Oricon and that it guided us to an OP but the people who didn't want to do an OP , missed out on the final part of the story. Cheers, BadOrb.

Okay I was going to type mostly but indeed I'm not on the Harbinger , good luck all and microwave dinner is in the fridge , sorry peeps :// Cheers, BadOrb.

I would like to thank all the staff at Bioware and EA for getting things back to normal within 2 hours or so . Also sorry that you had to leave your dinner table / home life etc. Wasn't fun at all the whole thing. Cheers, BadOrb.

You might also want to take to your management as of this thread on Reddit. Not sure it's a SWTOR only matter my good man. Cheers, BadOrb.

Ebon Hawk is down again and my keyboard battery is red. Cheers, BadOrb.

Ebon Hawk is back up. Cheers, BadOrb.

I guess it's more related to that thread but yeah no worries. On topic , what will the blue 186 augments look like , just slightly lower stats say by 8 each perhaps ? Cheers, BadOrb.

Brewski said it will be 186 , not Eric , or am I missing something ? Cheers, BadOrb.

Hm , slightly off topic , but can we deduce from the 186 rating at level 58 that either basic or elite comms will gain us 186 vendor gear to be used at level 58 upwards ? Or am I a wild goose , or rather chasing a wild goose ? Cheers, BadOrb.

Don't be so sure about the planetary ones , they have been earned and they can't lower their value. Unless of course they lower the cost of gear at the vendors , in which case you would be correct. Cheers, BadOrb.

Ah thanks for the reply. Glad it's not tied to the ships hollo. Cheers, BadOrb.

Right well I though it was a pvp gear only thing , I didn't know , I will take a look. Cheers, BadOrb.

Is that via legacy gear ? Then yes we will and would have sooner gotten gear below the overflow cap to help with missions before 3.0 hits. As to your other question then yes I have stopped playing HM FP's for the time being as what's the point ? If I am over the over flow ( which it looks like I am on many characters ) then why earn more ? When they will be worth 180 or 186 gear in a few days. Quite simple really. I am still playing tactical's to earn a few elite comms on my low geared characters though. Cheers, BadOrb.

It doesn't matter what the forum poster said , I was talking about Eric's quote. You know the one that clearly states above and below 1 : 1 , did he say inclusive of ? No. As I said we are looking too deeply into it. To be fair it isn't mine either but I can at least work out that he probably mean't inclusive of. Clutching at straws are us. Cheers, BadOrb.

I don't think he knows the answer as I asked the same question a few mins ago Cheers, BadOrb.

Apart from 1 : 1 itself as above and below does not include the 1 : 1 , but we are looking too deeply into it now guys Cheers, BadOrb.

They have answered your first point , there is no assuming involved at all , it will still be 1000 new basic comms max. As to the rest of your reply , well 8 of my characters have well over 1500 comms each and my other 8 characters have a few. I don't like wasting comms , so I will only have a short time to actually spend some comms before 3.0 comes out. It isn't the end of the world as I am having ( mostly ) fun on some of my low geared 55's atm ( since last Tuesday ). Still knowing the rates would have made things easier for those lower geared characters , so they could have flown through group finder FP's quicker and easier ( after spending the higher 8 characters overflow of comms on gear ). EDIT - Eric beat me to your point 1 Cheers, BadOrb.

I wonder how we start this mission and I am hoping it's not via our ship's holoterminal. Well from the mess that was/is the start of the makeb storyline. Having said that , if it is that way , have you made sure that we can chose between the makeb storyline and this new single class quest ? I hope so or the forum will meet it's enrage timer for sure. Just a heads up. Cheers, BadOrb.
