After getting a quick lay of the land (as far as that’s possible) of my unlocked characters on Tuesday I resubscribed to SWTOR last night! It’s been a little over 3 years.
My characters were mostly 75 (well, 12 of them, plus a 54, a 16, and 2 classes missing) and had never seen Legacy of the Sith, but 2 had been to Onderon, so probably also finished it.
Of course this was again motivated by playing together, so I didn’t have to look up everything first, but got some hints. So I sat down and did the (short) LotS story on my Sage and was very, very surprised how fast I dinged 80 after just 2-3 long quests. Like, not even without the XP buff I would have finished half the content before that.
Anyway, playing Telekinesis Sage wasn’t that awesome this time around, but what can you do if it’s one of your two most-progressed ones?
This guide piqued my interest but meant I needed 400 Conquest Commendations, not 200, so we started doing some Dailies on my Juggernaut and he finished his Weekly Conquest at Level 77.9 and so I can buy that blue earpiece now, just not upgrade it yet. If the calculations are correct, you need to finish the Conquest goal 30 times to get a set of gear. 5 x 180 + 3 x 170 + 60 = 1470 FP-1 Stabilizers needed, and you need 2 chars to get 400 Commendations to buy 100. Unless you get some from other sources, but no, this is not confusing at all. Glad that gear is not that important to me, but I guess it’s a good idea to work on this.
So I guess the plan for now is finishing the quest line on the Sage, and getting a few more Conquest goals, which should already bring the characters that finish it half way to 80, and next week to 80 (or if I put in a little extra time). With the XP event maybe I’ll also focus on the Sniper to get her the missing 26 levels and also start my missing advanced classes, we will see.
I think it’s a little funny that for 12 max-level characters at the time, only having finished KotFE/KotET on two characters and the first 9 chapters on one… well, it’s not a lot and they were released in late 2015 and late 2016, and I played a lot after that, but they were just too weird and not really my cup of tea, and I guess I put in most of my play time in 2017-2019 there, so Onslaught had not yet launched and I was not missing out on story on those 9-10 characters. That’s also why in contrast to everything up to Ilum and Rishi… the “new” zones of the last 5-6 years are kinda unknown for me. Guess I should push that Juggernaut through KotFE and the remaining expansions and then actually do it a couple more times, if I can muster the will. Otherwise the other ones are set to only do dailies and conquests and achievements on the old planets. It’s a bit weird. Or I could just accept the default choices for KotFE/KotET and not worry, at least on some chars…
