The Orobird Mystery

Mar28

So, thanks to Nyjin on the forums, we have found the Orobird (Or well, one of them at least). It is, indeed, in Alderaan. At the bridge in the Serene Meadow in Alsakan Lowlands. Coordinates are: X: 140, Y: 1810, Z: 209.

Walk next to the lower part of the bridge and position yourself right on top of the straight horizontal log. Jump down onto it and then run across it. Then, jump down to the nest below it. The Orobird Egg appears a little before the egg that is always in the nest.

It IS on a cooldown that lasts 8 hours. (Edit: May have changed to 4 hours on the Live server)

I received an Unusual Egg. It’s possible that the egg is random (you can see what kind it is when you hover over it). This location will always grant the Unusual Egg.

There is still at least 1, most likely 2 (As there’s also the “Wonderous” and “Mysterious” eggs according to databases) so let’s up they are found soon!

Let’s Talk About Pets

Mar27

Now, when I have free time (or even when I don’t because multitasking rocks), I periodically look through the SWTOR forums for any news on pets. They are my number 1 priority in the game (and part of why I make such a big deal about Karagga’s lately).

Unfortunately, I have had no luck finding much information and when I made a topic to work together…it was deleted 🙁 On top of that, I could find no info on the Orobirds–just people talking about the Tauntauns (which I love as well, but all pets deserve love!). I did, however, recently stumble upon this topic which not only talks about Tauntauns, but the Orobirds a little too.

And if that wasn’t enough, recently mentioned were 3 different kinds of Rakling pets: Crimson, Pale, and Midnight. The question now is “Are they currently available?” or if they are just data in the game for something that is not available yet?

Regardless, I’ll be adding them to the pet list shortly.

There’s also 4 current Orobird eggs known: Unusual, Mysterious, Wonderous, and Orobird. Nobody has actually found the eggs ingame as far as I know, but I won’t actually separate/specify the Orobirds on the list until I have specific info on each. Afterall, just because 4 eggs were found in the data doesn’t mean they are all available, so for now the general Orobird (with separate ones as we learn information like I did for the Tauntauns) will do.

But yes, if the NYSCCS (A new item sold at the vendor you get the grapple hook from on Alderaan starting from 1.2 onward) isn’t used in some way for at least the Tauntauns, I’d be very surprised.

First real entry.

Mar24

Well, I’ve been wanting to write for a while and Guild blogs have been down so this is kind of as good a time as any. Even though I can easily keep track in my head, for some reason, I just like to write things down too.

Currently, our days on SWTOR involve doing PVP dailies (as we try to get to 65 Valor) and then sometimes a few other misc. things. Plus a raid if there is one. I don’t care for PVP, nor does my boyfriend, but I do like collecting things and with the Korrealis speeders discontinuing…we do need to get that out of the way. Of course, I still have two others to get. The Baron, which costs 2 million credits, and the Prince, which is an Imperial PVP speeder. I do not see myself getting that, so my hopes are currently lying with one of our guild mates…otherwise, I’ll have to stalk the market and save up even more money. And getting money has never been easy for me.

While it’s true that dailies do exist… they suck and I hate them XP Too repetitive and just not worth it for me. Unless I could like easily get them done in 10 minutes or something. As it is, I’m still having issues with space dailies. I’m just not very good at them.

But yes, for now, my main focus is to make sure I get the Sorveign and Baron speeders before 1.2 at the very least, plus have 200K on hold for Taunta (from the Collector’s Edition Vendor) among a few other things. I’d have liked to get a white lightsaber crystal for Nadia and maybe a purple one for Zenith, but that’s an extra 2,750,000 and I just can’t afford that and I mean they’ll be back eventually (well, white in a few months and purple somehow? Still kind of iffy on the details there).

Other things I’d like to do before 1.2 hits that probably won’t happen:
1. Get as much lore and map clear-ness as possible.
2. Buy some more Advanced Resolve 22 Augments.
3. Maybe Buy some Enhanced Insight 25 stuff. (Critical+Alacrity stuff)
4. Get full Rakata Gear
5. Finish Eternity Vault on Hard Mode (Just Soa to go) and Nightmare mode (Everything but pylons and Solo fight)
6. Finish Karagga on Normal (Fabricator onward), Hard (everything), and Nightmare modes (everything)
7. Do Battle of Ilum, False Emperor, and Kaon on normal.
8. Do Esseles, Directive 7, and Battle of Ilum on Hard mode.
9. Get Legacy to at least 35–preferably 50.
10. Save up to about 10 million or so for various legacy things. (Specific prices will be up on the “When it comes to Collecting” page.)
11. Get the Gold Pet from Karagga’s <--- Pretty much priority along with getting 65 valor and at least about 2,300,000 credits~ (2 million for Baron, 200K for Taunta, 100K so I'm not super poor and can afford repairs) 12. Finish class story (at least the first part) on Test Server for title (already hit level 10). 13. Finish Hoth Bonus Series (About the only main quest series thing I still have v-v; ) 14. Finish up Space Missions and have all the Ship parts. 15. Completely open up all my Storage Bins I will probably set up pages either later today or sometime this weekend regardless. They will mostly be used for checklists, but I suppose the pet page will be helpful to people regardless. Anyway, there isn't too much to say...but my plans for 1.2 at the moment are currently to log off by the Collector's Edition Vendor to immediately buy Taunta then rush over to Voss to try and find the Voss World Boss due to the Mastercraft Magenta schematic...as I want my upgraded pink lightsaber. Also, a little down as this adorable Tauntaun is being given out at PAX East. I will most likely not be going :/ As 3 day tickets are sold out and I can’t justify the price for the hotel, gas, and tickets if I’m just going one day. It’s also Easter weekend which is a big deal in my family. I just hope I can get one somehow.

Now that most of that is out of the way, I will say that the Sorcerer story is interesting and less creepy than the Sage one can be at times, though, I do still prefer my sage. Sorcerer’s grandfather is pretty cool though (I know he’s like a great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandfather, but I could care less and just saying grandfather is shorter). It’s too bad Lord Zash is going to betray you (too many people say it at this point and I read enough so yeah), but it’s not too surprising I suppose. But she was so nice 🙁 Though, I totally called Syo being the first son in the Sage storyline too (okay, maybe not exactly the first son, but I was suspicious of him being evil).

On the bright side, this totally makes my character a noble and thus, I proclaim them Princesses. Because I can.
