Vellem Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) So with 1.2 introducing bonuses for completing all conversations with your companions, I set about the task of maxing them out. I noticed that Qyzen was going to be a problem for a few reasons. First, he has no type of gift that he "loves" and only 1 "favorite" which are weapon type gifts. Second, in conversations even choosing the option he likes will net you only + 15 at a time compared to someone like Nadia who gives + 102 for an answer she likes. So I started taking him through Esseles and saw a way to save a ton of credits on GTN or mission runs for gifts. At level 50 this run should only take about 10 mins and will net you a nice +455 affection with Qyzen per run. This list is in order of the conversations with NPC's as you progress through the flashpoint. Note: The number 0 denotes that no choice will yield a positive result, so choose whichever you like best. Edit: Neglected to mention that a couple of choices can result in a -1 hit. An example would be in the first conversation with the Esseles Passenger. Where you see 0, if you choose option 3 where you talk about running away, you will get -1 with Qyzen. For 0 choices, avoid any that make any mention of running away or anything cowardly. Esseles Passenger: 3,1,2,0,1 First Officer Haken: 0,1,3,0,0,1,0 Commander Narlock: (before boss) 1 (after boss) 1,1,1,0,2,1 Communications Console: (trapped engineers) 3,2,0,1,1,2 Ambassador Asara: 1,2,2,3 Bridge Door Controls: (Ironfist) 2 First Officer Haken: 0,0 Elevator: (first officer haken) 2,0,2 Power Station Controls: (grand moff kilran) 1,1 Hangar Door Controls: (vokk) 2,3 Ambassador Asara: 1 First Officer Haken: 0,0,0,0 Again, these conversation options will net you +455 affection from Qyzen which is far more than any gift will give him and at high levels this can be completed in well under the time it takes a companion to run a rank 5 gift mission.

Cheops Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 One thing to note about this guide is that if you follow its exactly you will be gaining 250 Light Side points thats fine if your light side.. but if your dark.. well.. you might want to alternate dark/light choices each run to balance it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resolute Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Excellent information. I was running it blind and netting over 400 every time. This will be handy to maximize reward for time spent. Good job again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dafpants Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks, Vellum, nice work! One thing to note about this guide is that if you follow its exactly you will be gaining 250 Light Side points thats fine if your light side.. but if your dark.. well.. you might want to alternate dark/light choices each run to balance it outThis is an excellent point. Remember that if you gain both light and dark during the same quest (before handing it in) they cancel each other out; 100 DS and 150 LS = only 50 LS awarded.

Slugamaniac Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 I'm leveling as a healer right now so Qyzen is pretty much my compaion of choice until I get Nadia. I may have to try this afformentioned stragety for Qyzen at 50 since right now he is at roughly 5400 and I'm not sure if I can cover that much rep in the 12 levels or so (only level 32 at time of writing) until I get Nadia. Thanks for posting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeera Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 You genius! Thank you so much! It will be a long and boring process but it'll be worth it! Any chance you know similar cheats for other consular companions? Mine just don't like me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrias Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 (edited) You genius! Thank you so much! It will be a long and boring process but it'll be worth it! Any chance you know similar cheats for other consular companions? Mine just don't like me. Sadly, you can only do this with the first class companion for each class. Further companions don't seem to have any affection gains available in Esseles (The same is true of Empire characters and Black Talon). Finding that out made me a sad bunny too I know it's probably too late for you with this character, but now that I've got a main character who can earn money well, I tend to buy affection up to 6k as soon as I get a new companion on any other character. It costs somewhere in the region of 40-50k's worth of gifts from the gifts trader on the fleet, and saves you a LOT of time and/or money later on because any affection gains you get through play with add on top of that 6k, and usually get up to ~8k each just through normal play.

Further companions don't seem to have any affection gains available in Esseles (The same is true of Empire characters and Black Talon). I believe that is why Qyzen is the only companion without a Love Strength gift. --------------------------------------------- Here's my version also. I've been meaning to put this up. Since someone already has I'll add mine to it. It has missing convo results for the rare offshoot: Jedi Consular, Qyzen Fess (Esseles): Key) (-) = no affect (-1) Minus one affection (x) Plus x affection (+xLS) Plus Light Side (+xDS) Plus Dark Side (x(*x.x)) goes to convo x.x, extra convo (?) = not certain (X) = No option (Convo) (Choice 1/2/3) (Location/info) Republic Fleet ---------------------------------------- 00.0) - / - / - _____________________robot mission to accept.

SaintMclane Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 The quest completion says I'm only getting 333 am I forgetting to add something or was this nerfed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obilam Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sorry to ask some questions that might be considered odd, but is this possible with a DPS sage? Also, I'm returned to the game and have only just hit my first level 50..... so I have no idea where to find these missions (or ANYthing I should be doing above level 50). Any hints on the above questions are most welcomed, along with any other suggestions for my first 50.... Regards Obilam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macetheace Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 The quest completion says I'm only getting 333 am I forgetting to add something or was this nerfed? that might be because they changed the affection gains of companions at 2.0 onwards, they don't give the same affection numbers they did pre-2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
