lorddragone Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 My question is this. There are only 4 gifts Ashara accepts and NONE of them give more than a base affection (24). How are you supposed to gain affection with her if there are no gifts she likes? I use Khem as my combat companion so using her as my combat companion is not an option. Any suggestions?

Berronaxftw Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 think only way is to spam low lvl dungeons with her.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMix Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 She is Jedi, material goods have little value. (thats the way i see it) Just gotta Escape out of every conversation to make sure you're getting your +aff every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrosnwbrdr Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) Give her a purple grade Courting or Republic Memorabilia. Blue grade Weapon, Military Gear, and Cultural Artifacts. The color grade actually matters. Edited February 1, 2012 by Nitrosnwbrdr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedMix Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Give her a purple grade Courting or Republic Memorabilia. Blue grade Weapon, Military Gear, and Cultural Artifacts. i think even epics don't really get much affection.. like +60 at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maestrodomus Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Sucks but keep giving her military and republic high level until 3K? Then you can start with courting. Not too hard to get her to 10,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpop Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 (edited) i think even epics don't really get much affection.. like +60 at best. There are ranks as well, 1 to 6 i think, rank 6 ofc gives more affection than rank 1. Edited February 1, 2012 by davidpop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WutsInAName Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Simple She likes Weapons and Military gear the BEST!! NOT Republic memoribilia. Rank 2 green quality weapons or military gear give her 48 affections. You can purchase unlimited quantities of these from companion gift vendor on Drummand.

WutsInAName Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 There you go. Your spreadhseet is incorrect. She likes Weapons and Military and Atrifacts better then republic memoribilia. Im 100% on this. *also* IMO culteral artifact are better given to khem unless you have him maxxed or near max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is if your character as male, since Courting gives 0 if you're female. Most of my favour is with Khem, Xalek and Talos. I was too lazy to corrupt Ashara and she actually increased my downtime. Edited February 1, 2012 by MrPigCS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsgocheep Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 everything i've given ashara in the weapon/military/rep.mem/cultural only garners a "that's quite nice" ho hum of happiness. gave her a rank 5 artifact weapon and it brought in a mere +124 affection. fyi, you won't get conversation gains with companions who weren't around for content that you go back to. ie hit black talon and you can net 300+ affection with khem, but try any others and they just stare and blink at you.

KingRaRa Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Switch to her for mission pick ups/turn ins. Affection points come from the decisions in conversations, just switch back to khem either. It will probably get tiring so much after a while though >.> but it works. At 50, memorize the choices she likes while doing your dailies. It's not the fastest grind, but it works without buying any companion gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mehntal Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 i think even epics don't really get much affection.. like +60 at best. I gave her a grade 5 Epic Republic Memorabilia and got +499 affection. So yah...that statement is false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgoldsack Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The other thing to remember, is until you get her to the first tier of affection (or maybe 2000 affection, been a while) all gifts will give a reduced amount. Once you pass that threshold, gifts will go back to giving the full amount. After all, you are trying to convert a Jedi to Sith... you don't expect it to be easy do you?

SnapWolf Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 She won't accept certain gifts until you get her affection around 2500. Then at that moment, everything skyrockets, and more gifts unlocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe its is about 2700 when you get a conversation about taking her out or something. Before that point she will give you almost nothing at all. After that point rep mem, weapons and courting (if male) will give their full affection. Before that point she is basically a black hole of affection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragun Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah its kind of ridiculousness that as a female there is nothing she likes at all. For he to like any gifts you need to be a romantic interest, which is really pretty dumb. I don't have that problem myself, but my wife rages about it. Nothing like it exists for males. I don't know if it was just an oversight or what, but they should really fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cycrowuk Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 playing as a female, it seems only republic memorbilia gains any effection. courting items get 0 i've tried weapons and miltary gear, both get 0 as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokuakumu Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 If you are Female you will only net a "like" response from Military Gear, Weapons, Republic Memorabilia, and Cultural Artifacts. No other gifts give affection points, and no gift given by a female SI will have a greater than "like"response. At this time Bioware has not addressed whether or not this is by design or due to an as of yet unresolved bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
