Mek-Sha Mastery Datacron

Everyone: Do not read if you don't want to be spoiled.

 

Devs: the datacron is visually red from a distance (good) but when you click on it and go into the cut scene, it's green (bad). Mastery should be red (Green == Endurance usually).

 

Also, Devs, I loveLoveLOVE the design of Mek-Sha. It's visually arresting and there is so much to look at. It's very different from any other place in the game. The paths are labyrinthine like the Nar Shaddaa bonus area and there are people standing everywhere and junk piled all over the place. I especially love the massive stacks of glowing crates, and the atmospheric force-field shell with the port hole for entry/exit surrounding the whole asteroid. It's just cool, I really like oogling all of it. (I can't wait to get some of the new decos created for this place)

 

 

The advertizement drone that you have to ride on has a two-cycle ~180 degree arc it follows back and forth under the docks. It goes back and forth twice, once for a high pass and again for a low pass. You can only jump onto it when it's in its high pass cycle.

 

Fortunately, there are a number of places you can successfully jump onto the drone from. As shown in the video, I prefer the bridge. The other guy you'll see in the video prefers the loading platform. The good thing about that guy's spot is that you get two shots to jump onto the drone before it goes into its low cycle where you can't jump on it (the bridge you only get one chance). I just happen to find making the jump from the bridge easier and more consistent for me.

 

Also, you can jump onto the lower dock from the drone the first time it goes by the dock, however, you're higher up and farther away, and it's harder to control your fall and successfully hit the dock, but you can do it. I did it a number of times that way until I realized you could just wait and jump to it from lower and closer on the second/lower cycle pass.

 

The drone's full cycle takes ~3 minutes
