Ah okay, the relics requiring light 5 makes sense. But thanks to the insight here, it's no longer a problem. I found that logging out and back in does reset the list. Thanks, folks.

Hmm, well I don't know. All of my gear is orange / purple except for the two blue relics I have. But it is true that when I take dark side points, my hit points / endurance drops. So is there a reason for this, or might this be a rare but pesky character bug? Edit: Oh, by the way, my character is a level 50 Jedi Shadow with maxed archaeology and diplomacy.

Okay, I've got Diplomacy maxed out and am finding myself a wee bit frustrated by how many dark side missions there are as opposed to light side (on my Jedi Shadow), as when missions result in dark side point accumulation, my character takes a fairly substantial hit to endurance / hit points (to the tune of more than 1,000 hit points), and this affects my ability to play. When this happens, I have to try and only do light side missions to get my light side points back up, but sometimes they are not even available, and so I have to go further into dark side corruption to get the light side missions to show up on the list. For instance, right now my character is 144 on the dark side, and only two missions are available for 30 points each on the light side, so it will be some time before I am able to get my hit points back. I'm not sure what else dark side corruption affects character wise, but my character is noticeably weaker as a result, and it seems to me that the effect of dark side corruption on a light side character should be lessened or manifested in a way that does not interfere with actual gameplay.

I received one of these items by doing companion missions. The character that received it is level 50, but the item it buys is level 14.. so I basically can't use it. There was no mail that accompanied the item, which required that I look around on the web for an answer as to a) what it is and b) what I do with it. So I traveled to Coruscant from the fleet only to learn that it's a level 14 item that I wouldn't want to use in the first place. I agree with everyone else. These items are utterly worthless and a waste of time. They should be improved so they do level with the character and can be modded, or they should just be removed entirely from the game.

Tried that, and only saw the option to toggle pvp. And yes, a slash command is a fairly primitive way of doing things in a modern MMO game. Don't get me wrong. I love the game, but any function available via a slash command should have a UI element to perform the function as well. While I have been playing MMOs for years and am well aware of virtually every slash command, there are many people who haven't / aren't. No need to be offended.

Lol, why is there no apparent way on the interface to leave a guild? Seems rather out-dated to handle major operations like that with obscure slash commands...
