Order of content? ((Both factions))

[JurassicKing]

I have played through all 8 classes and done the Makeb, SoR, Ziost, KotFE/ET storylines. I've noticed places such as the Czerka building, Oricon and Section X that seem thrown in without a clear explanation, only later to realize that I had missed content that failed to show itself to me ((likely because it's hiding on the fleet)). What order should I play all content in for a Republic character and an Imperial character, including Flashpoints, Ops and extra planets? I'm not looking for the chronology of the class arcs, but rather when to diverge from your class arc and go do content for everyone in your faction.

And after KotET: War on Iokath, Crisis on Umbara, a Traitor Among the Chiss.

It's funny that Galactic Command is included in the story chart, specifically the end of the story chart.

Yes, after you've played everything else you get to play Galactic Command. It's a thrilling adventure wherein you repeat content mindlessly ad nauseam in order to get crates that contain loot. And what is that loot, you may be wondering. Well, it could be a useful piece of gear you need, but that happens about as frequently as Oprah giving away new cars. The rest of the time it's gifts, but Tharan doesn't want your courting gifts. He's only interested in holograms. He's a holosexual. Or it's a cosmetic pet or vehicle mount. Which, you can only claim one of on that character, and you've already given one to all of your characters but Oprah just keeps handing them out like they're new cars. I DON'T NEED ANOTHER IKAS, OPRAH, GIVE ME SOMETHING OTHER THAN A GREEN PIECE OF TRASH!

 

 

Side note, I may be watching too much Last Week Tonight.

Okay, but I wrote including Flashpoints and Ops. No one mentioned any Flashpoints OR Ops, so I still don't know when to do what. I know there are flashpoints you can do during the story missions and I need to do when to do which flashpoint/op.

Here's a list of all the post-Class Story storylines, based on the chronological order that max-level content was released (which seems to track the in-universe progression).

 

The Cold War and the Start of the Second Great Galactic War

• Class & Planetary Quests up through Corellia and the end of your Class Story plus Flashpoints as they become available (all Flashpoints have one-time quests that can be picked up on Fleet as soon as you hit the level for that Flashpoint and most of these quests can also be picked up on the level-appropriate planets)

 

Ilum and the New Empire

• Ilum Planetary Quests (starts with quest you should receive automatically once you finish your Class Story)
  
• Battle of Ilum Flashpoint (continuing the Ilum quest line) [now available in solo-mode]
  
• The False Emperor Flashpoint (concluding the Ilum quest line) [now available in solo-mode]

 

The Return of the Infernal One

• Eternity Vault Operation (one-time quest picked up on Fleet)

 

Prelude to the Hutt Cartel Conflict

• Karagga's Palace Operation (one-time quest picked up on Fleet) [briefly foreshadows The Dread War storyline.]

 

The Rakghoul Plague Outbreak

• Kaon Under Siege Flashpoint (one-time quest picked up on Fleet)
  
• The Lost Island Flashpoint (concluding the one-time quest that started with Kaon)

 

The Black Hole Crisis

• Black Hole Daily Area (previously there was a one-time quest picked up on Fleet to start the progression, now I believe you just have to go there via your ship or the priority terminal on the fleet)

 

The Dread War Begins

• Explosive Conflict Operation (one-time quest picked up on Fleet)
  
• Terror From Beyond Operation (one-time quest picked up on Fleet) [because this Operation has been adjusted to max level it's worth noting that nothing is glaringly out of order if you do this after Makeb, but it should be done before Scum and Villainy]
  
• Section X Daily Area (previously there was a one-time quest picked up on Fleet to start the progression, now I believe you just have to go there via your ship or the priority terminal on the fleet)
  
• HK-51 Quest Line (starts with quest picked up in Section X)

 

Conflict with the Hutt Cartel

• Scum and Villainy Operation (one-time quest picked up on Fleet) [because it is a level 55 operation, this is something you'll probably end up running after Makeb. Other than a single line of dialogue on the Republic one-time quest (response to "But their leader is dead!" dialogue option), nothing is badly out of place if you do this content after Makeb. This Operation also ties in to The Dread War storyline and should definitely be run if you want to experience that full story.]
  
• Makeb Planetary Quest Line (starts with quest picked up on your ship's holo-terminal)
  
• Shroud (Macrobinoculars) and Seeds of Rage (Seeker Droid) Quest Lines (each starts with a quest that can either be picked up on Makeb at around the halfway point of the planetary quest line, or on the Fleet once you hit level 52)[seeds of Rage questline also ties in to The Dread War storyline, should definitely be run if you want to experience that full story]

 

The Fall of Czerka

• CZ-198 Daily Area (one-time quest picked up on Fleet starts the progression)
  
• Czerka Corporate Labs Flashpoint (continuing the CZ-198 one-time quest)
  
• Czerka Core Meltdown Flashpoint (concluding the CZ-198 one-time quest)

 

The Dread War Ends

• Oricon Planetary Quest Chain (starts with quest that can be picked up either on Fleet or CZ-198)
  
• Dread Fortress Operation (continuing the Oricon quest line)
  
• Dread Palace Operation (concluding the Oricon quest line)

 

Forged Alliances

• Assault on Tython and Korriban Incursion Flashpoints (order is determined based on your faction, one-time quest picked up on fleet)
  
• Depths of Manaan Flashpoint (quest to continue the progression picked up on fleet from same droid who gave part I)
  
• Rakata Prime Flashpoint (quest to continure the progression picked up on fleet from same droid who gave parts I and II)
  

 

Shadow of Revan

• Rishi Planetary Quest Line (starts with quest picked up from Forged Alliances Droid on Fleet or from terminal on your Ship)
  
• Blood Hunt Flashpoint (Rishi Quest Line directs you to it)
  
• Battle of Rishi Flashpoint (Rishi Quest Line directs you to it)
  
• Yavin IV Planetary Quest Line and Daily Area
  
• Temple of Sacrifice Operation (one of two options for how to finish the Yavin IV Quest Line)
  
• Ravagers Operation (one-time quest outside the Operation entrance on Rishi) [separate from main quest line with stand-alone plot, can be done anytime after you hit 60 and have been to Rishi]
  

 

Rise of the Emperor

• Ziost Planetary Quest Line (starts with quest picked up on fleet)
  
• Ziost Daily Area (planetary quest line leads into it)
  

 

Knights of the Fallen Empire

• Quest Line [Chapters 1-16] (starts with quest picked up on your ship)
  
• Star Fortress Flashpoints (pick up mission at Onderon base after Chapter 9 of the on-going quest line)
  
• Recruitment Missions (become available from your Alliance menu after Chapter 9 of the on-going quest line)
  

 

Knights of the Eternal Throne

• Quest Line [Chapters 1-9]
  
• Uprisings (available from the Galactic Command interface)
  

 

The Traitor

• Iokath Planetary Quest Line and Daily Area
  
• Gods from the Machine Operation
  
• Crisis on Umbara Flashpoint
  
• A Traitor Among the Chiss Flashpoint
  
• The Nathema Conspiracy Flashpoint [Coming in April with Update 5.9]
  

 

With 4.0, the 'breadcrumb' missions to the Black Hole and to Section X seem to have been pruned out as part of the 'streamlining' they did. All the missions in both areas are still there though, so you can still complete those and can still get HK-51 in SecX, you just have to head to the areas directly instead of picking up the "go there" mission from the Fleet.
