[Advance Past Lvl 60?]

I've been trying to advance my level in Artifice but I'm stuck at level 60. I believe this is due to the low level of items I was crafting. I purchased some new level items to craft but now I need Rubat crystals... where do you find the rubat crystals? I used to have a ton but I used them all. Anyone remember?

 

Can you secure rubat crystals through Crew missions (archeology & treasure hunting)? Thanks!

[Time played, as of 16 July?]

Where do you look to find how many hours you've played a certain character? Thanks!

[Help deciding on a class]

One suggestion i have is try to get at least one class past the point where you unlock your legacy. then at least when you are trying out all kinds of different classes, you are getting legacy XP.

 

I agree with Berkof. I will be adhereing to his suggestion moving forward and just playing one character until Legacy is available.

 

My favorite character is the Sith Inquisitor/Assassin. Pretty good story so far (I'm only lvl 22), nice variety of abilities such as melee attacks, force lightning, and stealth, and you get a dual bladed light saber!

[Does Server Population effect lag?]

While I'm not certain if server popluation causes lag, I do know that when I transferred my characters from a light server to a heavy server I've experienced several occasions where lag interupted my game. One time I even lost connection but I think that might have been my service provider and not the server/game. I never experienced any type of lag on the light server.

[Legacy Availability Question]

BTW you should level one charater to unlock Legacy first. At that point you start gaining Legacy XP from all your characters. If you grind your alts before unlocking, you are wasting xp.

 

That makes good sense. Thanks for the advice!

 

Thanks to everyone else for your help!

[Legacy Availability Question]

I believe the Legacy system becomes available when one of my characters completes the first chapter of his/her class story. Around what level does a character complete the first chapter of a class story? How many chapters are there for each class?

 

I play the following characters:

 

Sith Inquisitor / Assassin (Lvl 22)

Smuggler / Gun Slinger (Lvl 20)

Jedi Consular / Sage (Lvl 11)

Trooper / Vanguard (Lvl 11)

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

[Keep up the good work Bioware!!]

Agreed! My friend and I purchased SWTOR Memorial Day Weekend and have really enjoyed playing it. Never thought I'd play another MMO after all the time I put into City of Heroes but I was mistaken. I'm hooked!

 

Thanks for a great game!

[What do you do in Real Life SWTOR player? And what class did you pick?]

Who am I?

 

Project manager and lacrosse coach.

 

What class did I pick?

 

I chose to play with a female human Smuggler Gunslinger and a male zabrak Sith Assassin.

 

Why?

 

I like the idea of playing a smuggler becasue you can be righteous and greedy whenever you want. I chose the Sith Assassin becasue I like the stealh power, along with the dual bladed light saber... not to mention they look bad***!

[Stacking Alacrity]

I'm a relatively new player and this topic sparked my interest since I play a smuggler in the game and really don't understand alacrity that well. So thanks to the TC and those that replied as I'm lerning a lot.

 

Quick question... Does alacrity decrease the cool down time of powers or does alacrity decrease the amount of time that a power uses to initiate?

 

Thanks!

[If there was a third faction.. what would you want it to be?]

The Witches would more likely be an add on to the empire because they are darkside force users.

 

Maybe an add on to the Empire is more feasible for the Nightsister Witches (Witches of Dathomir). I didn't realize they used the dark side of the force. I thought they used some sort of dark magic.

 

Another faction for SWTOR could be the Ssi-Ruu from The Truce at Bakura novel. I think they would be a fun faction to play.

 

I also think the Yuuzhan Vong's ability to not be sensed through the force (or absence in the force) would be cool in the game as it is said that the Yuuzhan Vong's absence in the force caused Jedi to be confused. The Yuuzhan Vong also have another race of slaves called the Chazrach.

 

Anyways, just some ideas... still want to see the Mandalorians first and the Yuuzhan Vong a close second.

[If there was a third faction.. what would you want it to be?]

Mandalorians! Would really like to see Mandalorians. Hutt Cartel wouldn't be bad either.

 

Another cool faction might be the Yuuzhan Vong or those witches from the clone wars.
