jradne Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 So I decided to subscribe again to get the 12xp boost for class and main story mission (on Makeb). But it seems like I am not recieving the advertised 12x boost. It is hard to say for sure since I do not know what the original xp rewards were like but 114k xp does not sound like 12x xp on a level 52 quest to me (the Monstrous Mesa of Solida Hesk). Anyone know what I am missing?
GythralSWTOR Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 They have changed things a bit, the boost is gone and now you have to do both class and planet stories to level (anything with a purple icon) anything else is now optional.
jradne Posted October 26, 2015 Author Posted October 26, 2015 I see. That's on me for not reading carefully enough I suppose. So "Purple" missions are enough to get me through Makeb with no need to do much else, or grind?
Giuse_Delre Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 The new weekly 2+ heroic missions give a nice portion of xp; you can easily do them at a pretty fast pace with a heals companion, doing those + main story quest, you will be gaining a lot of xp

Yes they are but anything else you want to do can be done now, as the level sync will ensure that even if you out level a planet you will still get good XP from doing missions there, as you will be synced down to the planets maximum level. Also you no longer have to ever worry about gearing a companion again!
Bookworm_Jedi Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeaaah can someone explain how comp gearing works now? I popped on my Lv. 28 knight. T7 now has like 11K in HP! I only have around 6K, but That's because I need to upgrade my mods....
Icestar Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeaaah can someone explain how comp gearing works now? You do not need to gear up your companions anymore they scale with your character. The only thing you need to do is put weapons in their hands and they will be fine. you can also change the colour crystal if you like. The stats does not matter anymore when it comes to companions.
Jerqa Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 I thought 12x was over on Makeb anyway. The GSI buff on Makeb is gone now as well. You can follow the purple missions only if you want just like everywhere else.

So even if you have lvl 12 greens on a lvl 28 - they'll be basically in lvl 28 greens. Once you ding to 29, they'll be in 29 greens (not technically, more of an example). I love how all companions are able to heal now too - especially for the beginning levels it makes it much easier / breezier

I only have around 6K, but That's because I need to upgrade my mods.... Companion gear is cosmetic now. They need a weapon in order to execute weapon attacks, but stats do not matter. Just find some armor and a weapon you like the looks of and that's it. Level 1 gear, level 65 gear, empty custom shells... It just doesn't matter. Your companion will perform the same. Role doesn't matter either. Whether you set up a companion to heal, tank, or DPS, the gear doesn't change how they perform, only how they look.
