Star Wars at its best: "To boldly go... "

When you unlock them they turn up in the Abilities window ( default key p) under the Legacy tab, from there you can drag them to the quick bar.

You pull the weekly from a terminal in front of of the questgivers/fp-starters i think it requires 6 "points" of starfortress completion, solo mode giving 1 point and heroic giving 2.

The only thing to add here after Steve's very detailed explanation would be to say that you should not bother with augments for anything other than max level gear and that while leveling the best way to get good gear is to run heroics and flashpoints, those will get you blue gear that is a lot better than the quest reward greens or the green components bought at fleet.

Another thing worth mentioning here is that quite a few quests have been hidden and will only show if you tick a box at the lower left of the map screen called "enable exploration missions" ( if i recall correctly).

Other possibility: Pet is dead and needs to be resurrected.

The only gear that still has the dark/light requirements is very old and you don't need it at all. Most of that stuff has absurd DS/LS requirements for the level of gear so you won't even be able to use it until it's outdated anyway. Absolutely NO endgame gear requires dark or light-side alignment at all.

Go do a bunch of lower level heroics and some flashpoints, level 50 is a bit low for Illum.

You have a fairly low item rating for your level, i don't know what planet you have progressed to now but if you do experience trouble you should focus on doing some flashpoints (or heroics with a team) for better gear.

The first priority should be to get to 306 irating, getting set bonuses is the next thing, in the time it takes to level up your gear you will most likely get several pieces of The Victor set, make that up to 306 and use it for alts, it is by far the nicest generic set for almost all toons, the 50% run speed buff is awesome and the 20% heal is nice too.

The Spoon is the mind-killer!

There's a little ui-switch on your screen that has a light and a dark side symbol on them, it sounds like you have clicked the dark one switching allegiance to the dark side, just click the light side icon and you'll stop getting DS points for completing quests and killing mobs.

Dude/Dudette! The main Onslaught story line has nothing to do with force stuff and we just got the start of a Mandalorian internal strife story, there's plenty of non force stuff happening.

Is this supposed to be a 12?

You can clear the field on foot fairly easily, leaving only the final fight that must be done in the mech.

I don't quite understand why you would find the findsman quest grindy, it takes less than 15 minutes at a guess, the individual quests to get the old and new companions vary in length but you don't have to do the ones you hate.

Do NOT waste time and credits on MK-10 augments, start by getting a full setup of MK-9 augments, purple mk9's have nearly the same in tertiary stats ( crit, shield etc.) as the MK-11 do and MK-10 has less ( they nerfed them with onslaught). If you are a casual player i would recommend going with blue MK-11 as your final augments, they are comparably cheap and easy to make and the difference in stats is small, if you intend to do progression raiding i guess you should ignore my advice about "going blue" but not about the mk10s. When/if you get mk11's you can switch to defensive mods if you want without feeling crap in level 75 solo content, i did and i think others have done so as well.

Steve is off on a few details, you can use more than one mission at the same time, just not the same mission, grades 1-9 ( possibly 10 as well) has 2 unique missions per grade so you can do those at the same time and you can do different grades at the same time as well. Slicing is by far the greatest source of mission discoveries, if you crit a lockbox mission you get a discovery for a random skill ( including slicing) the other mission skills can give them as well but i can't recall right now what type of mission gives the greatest chance of getting them. You can get missions from slicing gathering nodes as well, but the drop chance is pretty low.

I just have to ask, when you leave Dromund Kas you get quests for both Balmora and Nar Shadaa, have you finished the Balmora questline?

Dulfy has a good guide for companion gifts (someone already posted that ofc ). Also with Onslaught we got a new source for companion gifts via jawa scrap, you can get your droid companions and a few of your other comps to 50 without paying a single credit, Maintenance ( droids) and Delicacies ( beasts and certain humanoids). Given that you have at least 3 droids if you finish all the story content and also the good old HK droid, you're halfway to your 8 crafter without a single cred payed. The 3 jawa scrap vendors are located in the cartel bazaar at fleet.

A few days ago i renamed my legacy, i had to try many times before it took, it seems like you don't get error messages for everything that can be wrong with the legacy name, it might just be that the format of the legacy name you chose is "wrong" and that it just ends the process without an error message.

To start Onslaught you must have completed the Ossus storyline on your character. If you haven't done that, you can pick the [inflection Point] mission up on your Personal Starship. First answer on google

Efficient is the key word here, You can run story modes and get around 10 per round ( yes even from doing black talon/ the esselles at any level) so don't worry about your gear Telden.

It's not 2% alacrity, it's 2% alacrity rating (ie. a rating of 3200 would come out as 3264), so not much at all.

It says that (for some reason) when you don't have enough rage/focus to make the attack.
