I started a Jedi Knight character, and I just got to level 10 and selected the Sentinel path to dual wield lightsabers. I got my reward lightsaber for my off hand, and I tried equipping it but it wont let me. I have the lightsaber proficiency and dual wield proficiency in my character abilities page, it just says that the slot is full every time I try to equip it. Has anyone had this issue and know how to fix it. I did open a help ticket already.

So pretty much I just wasted 600 Cartel points on a species unlock since I really needed it on a different server.

OK followup question. I think I royally screwed this up. I got my character to level 10 on Ebon Hawk server and purchased the chiss species. Apparently all my friends play on the Bastion server and when I tried to play there I couldn't make a chiss character. Do I just have to get a character to level 10 to unlock that ability since I already purchased it or am I up the creek and have to pay more money to unlock it again.

Before I spend Cartel coins on unlocking a species I want to make sure this is how it works. Chiss are only sith, but if I unlock with cartel coins they can be used in any class. Is this correct?
