Oisro Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) Now and then you see someone complain that getting the HK components is just to much work, so here is something that may help. I did the HK-51 quest on many characters (20 or more) and after the 3rd character or so I started to notice sometimes the locations were exactly the same sa before. So I started to keep a list and noticed that despite what people said, the locations are not random. On every site I have had locations that were exactly the same as before. The list doesnt always help, sometimes it still dropped in an unknown location. But on some characters it only took me 30 minutes and that was including travel times (we didn't have the fancy stronghold travel back then). So here is a list of the locations that I found (locations marked with a * have definately been reoccuring locations): Dark temple grounds: -1721, 477 * -1758, 517 -1558, 557 -1668, 575 -1663, 651 -1645, 613 -1682, 450 * -1571, 703 -1573, 707 -1558, 673 -1670, 523 -1639, 525 * -1622, 564 -1524, 620 Jedi temple: -2915, 3091 -2875, 3002 -3054, 2987 -3016, 2889 -3088, 2930 -2887, 2986 * -3020, 3061 -2962, 2905 -2958, 2874 -2964, 2888 -2951, 3027 -3109, 2927 -2905, 2940 -2921, 2947 -2898, 3069 -3124, 3043 Taris: -120, –157 -121, -148 -51, –142 -15, -114 * 2, -211 -33, -229 * -60, -91 * 99, -222 -56, -140 106, -162 124, -219 38, -178 48, -195 Hoth: 645, –869 * 499, -987 688, -834 * 520, -926 548, -977 476, -753 * 502, -964 * 684, -866 544, -978 611, -931 572, -904 * 665, -900 * 458, -789 493, -805 * 577, -831 Edited May 20, 2018 by Oisro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) 20 times, yikes! I've done it 3 or 4 times. And bookmarked this post in case I'm masochistic enough to do it again I wouldn't be surprised if it was selected from a (large) list of fixed positions. But that doesn't make it not random. Random probably just means it , well, randomly chooses from that set of fixed positions. And for those who have been scared of (or don't even know about it), it's worth doing on one toon. Yes, even though it involves a lot of time scanning for parts. The Theoretika part is pretty good. And, of course, you get HK (though he is pretty nerfed from pre-4.0) Edited May 20, 2018 by DocDAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YTTHYTTH Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Where do you even start this quest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDAM Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Section-X (Belsavis L50, post-story daily area). There's a droid there that starts the extended quest. All subs get this area included in sub. F2P/Pref only get it if they purchase an unlock (CM or GTN) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oisro Posted January 31, 2021 Author Share Posted January 31, 2021 For people who want to get this on more then one character i got a tip from a friend. Bring the characters you want it on to the search area and start looking. Once you found it relog to the next character and start looking around the area where you found it. According to my friend it is almost always close to the place where it was just found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my friend it is almost always close to the place where it was just found. Your friend is wrong, *but* if you manage to log in on the other character within a minute of the first one finding it, it's still where the other found it. After that minute is up, it moves somewhere else in the area, and it could be *anywhere* in that area. The procedure also assumes that the other characters get in the same planetary instance as the first was in. If nobody else is on the planet, that might not be true, and similarly if you were the last in the second instance and there's space in the first, it won't be true either.

For the Coruscant/DK parts, you can grab it, travel to your stronghold and dump it in your Legacy storage and return (not exit) to pick it up again.

SteveTheCynic Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 Very easily, if you place the storage close to your SH entrance. True, although what I really meant to say is "provided you do it ..." instead of "provided you *can* do it...". That is, don't dawdle while doing it.

ReKabNad Posted December 23, 2023 Share Posted December 23, 2023 Okay, so, silly question: Why go through all this work to get HK-51, when there's also the option to get HK-55, and it seems like it may be easier to obtain 55? 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the recent GUI/Map redesign, I'll have to figure out if we can still see the map coordinates. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedious (in some parts) and long-winded (in all parts) gameplay, to be sure, but just gameplay nonetheless. And because despite their physical similarities, the two droids are, in "personality" terms, completely different. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daanbever Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Question: At the end of the HK mission you get the last mission Heroic 2+ Warning: Rivals Detected where you need to defeat the dreadmaster forces to go to the HK unit to deliver all the components and clear a way. Can you solo play this heroic mission or is it better to do it in a group? Edited February 21 by Daanbever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did this quest alone with my AP and I don't remember any difficulties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried since. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whykara Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Great list, I'll see if it still works! I'm currently on the quest for the first time. Somehow I have the HK-51 legacy unlock without ever having finished the quest and so I never bothered doing it. But since there's nothing else to do in the game at the moment, I might as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
