And the game is up!

So, 1.7 is officially out and the game is up. Site is still down though which means you can not buy Cartel Coins right now. Regardless, the new pack is out…

Anyway, as for reputation stuff… There’s 2 Gree Reputation pets. They are both 50K each–there is the Data Core at Newcomer and the Miniature Gray Sacant at Legend. I guess this will take a bit of grinding :/

I haven’t seen any of the other Reputation Vendors yet (kind of on Ilum so…), but going through the overview are the following titles:
Republic Battalion – Hero unlocks Hero of Section X, Legend unlocks The Section Guardian
Republic Space Armada – Hero unlocks Hero of Deep Space, Legend unlocks Hyperspace Legend
The Gree Enclave – Newcomer unlocks Gree Research Assistant, Hero unlocks Honored Silver Acute, and Legend unlocks Perfect Gold Bisector
The Voss – Friend unlocks Honored Voss-Friend, Legend unlocks The Chosen of the Voss

You can gain 12,000 a week… which seems like a lot, but I doubt you can get Legend in a week so I’m scared to think of how much you need total. Not to mention this event is only around for 2 weeks so… :/

but yes, shall update this randomly. Time to work on the pet list.

1.6.3

So, a new patch comes and besides fixes, there’s the inevitable edition of new Cartel Items (plus new discounts and the removal of all the Life Day and Anniversary related stuff).

What really caught my attention though is the Czerka CR-17 Incendia. Why? Ignoring my collectingness, it’s actually because of this:

The protection provided from being knocked off this vehicle is greater than Speeder Piloting III.

I’m not really sure what to think about it, but it makes me feel a little down. Especially as I personally prefer 2 other speeders and for the best protection, I’d have to use that one πŸ™ It also costs 1,800 Cartel Coins X__x And is a model I know a lot of people have wanted.

Besides that, there’s 3 new armor sets: Sand People Pillager Set, The Sanctified Caretaker Set, and the Malevolent Interrogator Set at 1,440 each and a special Preferred Player’s Pack which has a bundle of stuff. I don’t really care for any of them though.

On the bright side, I found someone to sell me a Flamehair Kowakian Monkey-lizard so I have all the pets again. Yay. Just 10 Skip Tracer items and 2 Blockade Runner items to go now…


flamehairkowakianmonkeylizard
It’s a nice touch how both Monkey-lizards laugh differently when right clicked too.

Also used the Cartel Coins I got from being a subscriber for another chance at the Skip Tracer packs… Got a Red-Orange crystal and a Republic Banner πŸ™ *sighs*

Some Progress on Miisha

Decided to work on Miisha with Mar-gon’s DPS Vanguard yesterday. Originally, we had planned to level them with a friend of his…but let’s just say that didn’t end well.

Thanks to Telanis, Miisha now has the Ice Scrabbler Jerky recipe πŸ˜€ so once she gets up more, hopefully I will be able to hand those out randomly to pet collectors <3 Anyway, we finished up Taris and will probably skip the bonus series there... Taris and Balmorra are our least favorite planets so... less time we need to spend there, the better. In the meantime, I did buy some Grade 7 Ship Parts as they have gone down a lot (all were under 100K)... Only one I still need is the Laser Cannons, but I didn’t see that up sadly. It costs 500 Fleet Commendations to get (or is 550 Cartel Coins for the Offensive Bundle). Found one on the GTN πŸ˜€ (also for under 100K) Yay!

Diplomat’s Meditation Chair is staying anywhere between 2.5 million to 3 million. Similarly, the Dominator’s Command Throne is staying around 1.5-2 million so I’ll need to just save up for those as it doesn’t look like they will drop anytime soon.

The White Crystal’s price doesn’t really surprise me considering it was originally 2.5 million to get one anyway. But yeah, chances are I never will get one.

Stupid expensive things πŸ™

Limit of Abilities

I’ve seen this once on the forum and mentioned a few times to me on here about users having their amount of mounts and pets cut off. The number seems to vary as to where, but more or less, when they try to learn a new pet or mount, the learning happens and the item/pet disappears, but the respective item/pet does not actually appear in the abilities tab.

Essentially, you have just lost the item you used. Customer Service is usually able to give the item back to you if this happens, but this doesn’t fix the problem long-term as all you can do is hold the item until this is fixed.

I have yet to have this problem and currently have 40 Pets and 59 Mounts (The Mounts total is including Rocket Boots). However, with some theories over this being a combined total of the 2, I wondered…what if it’s a combination of all abilities? I’ve found Sages have less abilities than a lot of other classes, which made setting up my bars from them much easier than with my Agent.

So, firstly, a survey:

Ability-wise:
Sage: 18
Consular: 23
General: 8
Legacy: 14 (All Social, All Valor, All Priority Transport Passes, Mail Droid, Repair Droid, Legacy Lightning Storm, Legacy Project)
Vehicles: 59
Pets: 40
Total: 162.

To compare on non-vanity abilities, my level 41 Operative:
Imperial Agent: 28
Operative: 20

As you can see, not only more in the original class–but the advancement as well.

Not to mention, if you have a Companion out, you also have a bonus 20 Abilities added on which would bring my Sage’s total to 182.

Regardless, I don’t see anything missing. So, if anyone feels like helping, please vote on the poll and leave a comment saying:
1. If this has happened to you before
2. How many abilities you have in each section.

Maybe we can at least figure something out πŸ™ And hopefully it can be fixed soon!

More Speedering~

So, I got the rest of the speeders I needed that could be bought T~T Which just leaves:
Ubrikkian War-rider – 1,000 Ranked Warzone Commendations and Rank 2200 in Ranked Warzones
Avalanche Heavy Tank – NM EC
Praxon Firaxa – NM EC Timed Run
Dominator’s Command Throne – Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack
Diplomat’s Meditation Chair – Blockade Runner’s Cartel Pack

Can’t be gotten right now:
Korrealis Prince – From Imperial PVP Vendor on Fleet. Technically, a friend got me one stupid bound-ness. *hopes for a bound remover in the Cartel Shop*

Nice to see the list so much smaller… but the Ubrikkian War-rider still makes me angry πŸ™ I don’t know how I will ever get that ranking and even though supposedly you will be able to get a rank solo come Season 1, I worry it may not be there anymore… .__.

Speeder Progress continues

So, because of Telanis and Prongs, I now have all speeders under 100K which just leaves the following:
Korrealis Prince – From Imperial PVP Vendor on Fleet. Technically, a friend got me one stupid bound-ness. *hopes for a bound remover in the Cartel Shop*
Ubrikkian War-rider – 1,000 Ranked Warzone Commendations and Rank 2200 in Ranked Warzones
Tank Mount – NM EC
Shark Mount – NM EC Timed Run

All mounts that can be bought gotten! Yay!

:( / Edit: T~T <3

There is always something awkward when you want to try and avoid your main character as to not run into someone :/

As it is, I will most likely be filling in for NM EC this upcoming Tuesday evening which just stresses me more EDIT: Looks like it’ll be HM EC! Still makes me nervous though πŸ™ Note to self: need all 27 armorings except for legs.

.___.

Edit: Eeeee T~T OMGTHANKYOUPRONGSFORTHETHRONEMOUNT:

YAY. …the skirt is kind of broken though. but still! yay!

but yes, speeders to go: Continue reading

1.5 – November 15th

So, in a week, 1.5 will be upon us. This will bring:

1. Nightmare EC (I will have to add that stupid tank mount to my list. I also have only a week to try and get all the speeders I still need… I don’t see myself getting the Ranked Warzone one–EC HM one is iffy… but I can always try to save for the ones I need to buy*)
2. HK-51 and new dailies + new world boss. I will be on immediately when patch goes up. FYI CERTAIN PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
3. The Cartel Market

So, in Nightmare EC, there was confirmed there would be a pet. I do feel it may be the Wonderous Egg (afterall, how did that rumor start?), but there is no confirmation… if it is though, at least it can be traded so I can just hope someone pities my sad existence outside the doorway.

I’ve already prepared enough gifts to get HK to 10K so yay. I’ll probably be camping myself near where the NPC will spawn the night before so I can grab the quest and head on over to Section X. I don’t really care about getting him geared out right away–I don’t expect to use him much afterall. I just want to see is story.

Still mixed feelings on the Cartel Market. Apparently it will be 5 dollars for 450 Cartel Coins so a bit under a direct transition which kind of stinks.. however, that’s been the kind of thing most cash shops have done lately :/ Still stinks though. I’ll be getting 2800 complementary though… plus a bonus 250 during the actual launch. I still feel it may be slightly off though… and well, I hope that 500 per subscribed month after launch is true. That’d be nice. I plan on buying the speeder and pet available plus 2 of the tops…rest will be spent on packs though.

I just really wish they’d make a list of everything you can get ._. Regardless, I have prepared a trade page and everyone in the Pet Channel is awesome so… shall just hope for the best.

*I have been asked a lot why I didn’t just buy these when they were cheaper. To be honest, if I could, I would have. However, my choices were between stuff that would be GONE and thus, would probably go up to ridiculous points or just the speeders sticking around. In the end, the money went towards the Koreallis Speeders, one of the Prime speeders that was rumored to be going, and to help my boyfriend get his white lightsaber crystal. Sure, I wanted one too, but I knew he wanted it more so that is where all my money went. And it sucks I couldn’t get the speeders at a lower price, but I don’t regret what I did use the credits for.

Free to Play Trailer!

So, on the website, a trailer was released for Free to Play!

Some highlights:


PARTY JAWA WOO.

FIREWORKS!

I remember it being shown in a datadump some firework items… I wonder if they will be sold or something to celebrate. May be a Cartel Market item…speaking of which…

CARTEL MARKET PREVIEW

Breaking it down:
-Ignoring that the prices are totally marked out… The Carbonite Chamber returns! For those who may be unable to read what it says under it: “Impress your friends by encasing yourself in carbonite! Encase your character in Carbonite while using this effect. This Carbonite Chamber will rapidly heal your character while out of combat.”
-I have circled pets because pets. There is no other reason needed but pets. The Monkey Lizard that was already confirmed is there, however, it seems that there is one other with it. I would guess either a Wraid, Horranth, or Blurrg but I am unsure.
-New speeder! The Longspur Sportster
-It does look like the Cartel Packs are just packs of certain items and not cruel random boxes. The Monkey Lizard is part of the “Crime Lord’s Cartel Pack”. I sure hope the items can be sold/traded or they can be bought separately as I just want the Monkey Lizard.

And while I did not take a screenshot, the Holographic Rancor was also shown so yes, both of the other Fan Favorite voting participants will be available–just not given for free.

so yay~

Data Dump Revisited

So, a while back, I posted about a data dump. Well, TOR Head recently updated with their 1.4 stuff. I immediately went to the Vanity Pets Category and well… there’s just…so many.

Once again, triplets seem a big theme (Only one that doesn’t have 3 is Nekarr Cat with 4) and while we still have no idea what’s going on with the Wonderous Egg/Orochick and have no clue if the Lobelode can be gotten (would be the first pet not to be available in the patch it was put in)… it’s still quite a bit. I won’t be adding these to the Pet List until more are found, but for now, it’s something to think about.

Anyway, onto the list:
Manka Lynx: (#10 in Data Dump)
Arctic
Jungle
Savanna

Womp Weasel: (#14 in Data Dump)
Black
Brown
White

Lylek: (#1 in Data Dump)
Bloodhusk
Slateshard
Venomcrest

Gizka (#8 in Data Dump)
Blue-Speckled
Green-Spotted
Red-Backed

Wriggler (#9 in Data Dump)
Deep – Which, as we know, is from Terror from Beyond and most likely a 100% drop from the final boss.
Lunar
Stellar

Nekarr Cat
Desert
Forest
Shadow
Tundra

Flutterplume (#7 in Data Dump)
Ebon-Wing
Gilded
Paradise

Vrblet (#13 in Data Dump)
Fire-bellied
Golden-Skinned
Green-Backed

Kowakian Monkey-lizard (#11 in Data Dump)
Flamehair
Ruddyscale
Sablefur

Lizardbat
Forest
Golden
Mountain

Mouse Horranth (#5 in Data Dump)
Ivory
Mossy
Slate

Miniprobe (#12 in Data Dump)
Low Atmosphere
Sub-Zero
Toxic Environment

Blurrg (#3 in Data Dump)
Lurker
Mottled
Speckled

Droid (#2 in Data Dump)
Micro-Aggressor
Micro-Defender
Micro-Patroller

The only ones not mentioned from the Data Dump were the Akk Dog and Wraid/Lobel. Similarly, Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat were not mentioned either so there is a chance the Lizard Bat and Nekarr Cat just share similar models with the former.

There are also some interesting mounts too, but I find those to be a bit more confusing (after all, many we haven’t seen since the game came out are listed still) so I won’t look into them too much just yet.

Regardless, I do think most of these aren’t out yet (if any) and several will be for Free to Play as many of the items included in the dump seemed like things for the Cartel Shop and future quests and things. And since it has been confirmed a pet will drop from NM EC, do you think any one of these pets could be it?
