IAmGreiG Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 First let me start by saying.. I have never played any type of mmo before, so bare with me please. My question/issue is this.. I have just got the the stage of getting my lightsaber and the next step was to defeat some boss thing right after it. However I am unable to actually use the saber for attacking. I have equipped it on my jedi and have it on slot 1, however there is a red boarder around the icon, is this pointing me to my issue? Any advise would be great.

Lurkz Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You might just be out of range if the button is red. Are you within melee range of the mob you're trying to defeat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmGreiG Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 I am as close as I could possibly get. I literally cannot defeat anything at all due to being unable to attack. I'm wondering what I have done wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi_Im_A_Sith Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This may seem silly, but did you put the actual lightsaber, or the basic attack in your first slot? You want the ability there, not the saber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the ability there, not the saber That's... a really good point. I missed that part of his post. OP, open your abilities panel, "P", and put your basic attack which should be something like "Strike" or "Slash" back on your bar in the 1 slot. The lightsaber just needs to be equipped, not on your bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want the ability there, not the saber Honestly I dont know. on my character sheet, I have the saber on there. I did previously have (on keys 1&2) the 2 default attacks. However, I seem to have "thrown them away" oops ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lightsaber just needs to be equipped, not on your bar. I no longer have them, I "dropped" them off my slots and inventory. Sorry for wasting your time, I was only level 9 so I have decided to start again, at least now I know I'm ment to equip my saber. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks If you happen to be the clicker type player (i used to be so i can honestly say i have done this numerous times), make sure that you have your hotbar locked so you cant accidentally move and get rid of your attacks you place in your hotbar. Without it locked, you can accidentally move them at will. The lock for it is just to the left of your hotbar with a small lock icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eternalnight Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 First of all, please learn the difference between abilities (ie attacks) and equipment (such as weapons) Now, open your abilities window (press P) and find your basic attacks and drag them back to your quick slot bar. Strike should be on the quickslot 1 and all the others where ever you want them. Abilities are never in your inventory. You can always find all of them in your abilities window, and you should put them nicely arranged in your quick slot bars. Your gear (armor and weapons) can be either in your inventory or if you're wearing them you find them in your character sheet (press C) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in your abilities tab, "P". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
