It's super hard to get Dark Side points now, but very easy to get Light Side points. Not all Dark Side decisions are worth it or logical, and the same thing for Light Side points if your character has been done wrong.
I've never wanted to play a Dark Side character, but I do want to try out the Sith Assassin combat style on my Jedi Shadows (because I play solo so much, I rely on stealthing). I'm so glad to have found this video, and luckily I have a Jedi Knight who I don't use much but who has a crew, so lots of people to send on Diplomacy missions.
a full DS run of the story gets you about Dark III(on Jedi knight, at least), if all expansions are included, you'll be right at home. also, Darkside Republic are the best
Honestly if TH-cam hadn't randomly recommend one of your videos I wouldn't have tried this game. So thank you for that even though this game has a lot of flaws I still love it more than any other MMO.
I was just looking for this type of video like 5 days ago. Found that Diplomacy is perfect. You really are the best source for SWTOR information, I don't even look at other TH-camrs.
its so stupid they removed LS/DS toogle button. i recall running cademimu HM FP ages ago because it was one of the few easy flashpoints with alignment choice just so i could swap alignment. when dvl arrived it was so refreshing and easier with the toggle button and now it got removed for no reason.
If you just want to get Darkseid and still be light side choices it can be done relatively easy as long as you have diplomacy and only send companions on the dark side missions
Doing my first run through of Swtor ever, used to play kotor and finally got into this game. My rule of thumb is if it sounds like I'm gonna be an asshole I select it, unless there's the flirt option, always flirt first.
You can also just hit a toggle in the menu to have the game show you the alignment of choices before they are made, which will differentiate between a choice just having a rude answer and actually being dark side.
Tbh the change they did with the dark side light side being as it was done in the new patch = stupid decision. Makes players who is "happy with being ds 5 and the crazy modification it gives to your apperance" "go out of their way" so to speak to keep it(no not really, but you have to watch your choices much more carefully etc(or pick up diplomacy..) Should have kept the old "ds/ls" system they had "commit" even if there was no "galactic impact on it". I do like that you showcase all of the quest that can give you "easy" earned allignment(even though I knew of most of theese, there was a few new to me). Sometimes change is good, and sometimes not so much ;)
Yep, the old system deciding to go DS or LS and then killing enemies, was a far easier way to get it done. I was a programmer for 30+ years of my life and we always said "never change a running system". Sometimes "improvements" are bad. Forcing me to play as devs or publisher want it, is not going to work. I'll skip all elements I don't like.
Really good video and explanation Swtorista and tank you for making this video really a big help to get the dark side points you're looking for and also here to support the Channel
Bummer it's more difficult to get dark points now. I just picked up the game again after not playing for many years, and realized that I needed to get the legacy dark side stuff done, as I'd always played light side characters before. It's been a grind, and I'm only to level 3. I probably shouldn't have done this on a Jedi Knight, but I also needed to complete that class story and companion stuff. I didn't know about the diplomacy thing, so I may have to switch out a crew skill now. Edit: Using Diplomacy is OP! I was able to go from dark 3 to 5 in a day and have my legacy done.
you can actually just about reach dark V on a character by picking every dark choice in the class story, RotHC, SoR, KOTFE and KOTET, give or take a few hundred from things like FPs
I'm sad they removed the allignment toggle, still trying to get my Jedi Knight all the way to Light 5 before she goes to face Vitiate is gonna be a pain in the ass
after watching this video, I again come to the conclusion that the game is grossly underrated. I don't understand why there are so few languages in the game. I think that's exactly the problem.
Since you can get set alignment points regardless of what choices you pick, I advise players to start with LS option (not necessarily choices), then do DS once LS is max level. That way you get all the titles associated with the various levels, AND you still be able to enable DS corruption on your character if you desire. LS has no visuals similar to DS, so you lose nothing.
Did companions change for 7.0? I haven't played in 2-3 years and my companions seem weaker than before. Did they change them and is every companion as good as the other or are some better than others? Thanks!
Is there any way to get the dark or light tokens anymore? I saw one of your other videos that said they removed it. Thanks as always for the amazing content! Kept me playing the game when things got confusing
my consular babe has shadow and jugger but she is pure light... i have 0 dark right now and i picked darkoption, what meant to be darklight option, but it didnt give me dark points which is awesome hahaha.. not picking it again tho, i only picked that once and my dark points still 0 lol
Can you get rid of Light side Points (rather than just accumulate Dark Side Points)? I have 50 Light Side Points that I want to get rid of for my Sith Warrior toon.
Can someone tell me why kira has a different outfit than what I gave her? I gave her a robe but she's shown wearing something else in conversations. Did I click on something or is it a bug?
So I came back to the game after not playing since around Hutt Cartel. I have a Consular at lvl 11, who had just landed(I think) on Coruscant. She has Light Side 4, with 9k points and diplomacy is only at 5/600. Any idea how this is possible?
@@Swtorista I'm pretty sure I only seriously leveled my main's crew skills. According to my achievements I only got Archaeology to 400 back in April 2013. Also the alignment achievements only have Dark 3 and Light 2 as obtained in April 2013. Dark 4-5 and Light 3-5 are also obtained, but from a couple weeks ago(when I came back). While my main, SI Assassin, my highest Dark Side character, is only Dark 3. The other highest Light side I have was a level 30 Guardian with Light 2. =/
@@Swtorista But they are still listed in the currency tab & the vendors are still there. How does that look to someone who is playing SWTOR for the first time in 7.0 or a player returning and there's a vendor but you can never buy things from them. Seems weird that they're still there if there's no way to get tokens.
hi there i have a question i just reached dark side corruption level 2 but my character still has blue eyes (human) and there is no checkbox at the character sheet for show corruption on/off is this a bug ?
I have this written down, it wrong? if so, darnit :( old Tier I 3000 Tier II 20000 Tier III 40000 Tier IV 67500 Tier V 100000 ------ new Tier I 1000 Tier II 2000 Tier III 4000 Tier IV 6750 Tier V 10000 --

great tip!! I knew you got lots from the story but wasn't sure how much.
DS pub/LS sith is my favorite way to play
I'm running a ds jedi and it's going to be hard to got d5 especially choosing LS at times
Honestly if TH-cam hadn't randomly recommend one of your videos I wouldn't have tried this game.
So thank you for that even though this game has a lot of flaws I still love it more than any other MMO.
cheers!! thank youtube algorithm haha

How do you send companions on missions? I only know how to have them sell my junk
@cyberfox2936 hit B, it will bring up your crew skills. The higher your level the more companions you can send out at once.

My favorite channel for SWTOR! Thank you for all that you doing and keep it up!!!
cheers!
I got dark side 5 in like 3 hours because of diplomacy granted i have 6 companions but its much faster than doing flashpoints that's for sure
Yep! Diplomacy is top tier. Can always flashpoint AND diplomacy at the same time!
@@Swtorista true never thought of that thanks for the info 👍
This was very helpful. Though I wish they did not get rid of the alignment toggle to switch to dark or light side.
cheers!

This came just in time as I realized that you no longer earn points from Warzones, so I was looking for a new way to grind points!
Yep that used to be a top method for sure!
thank goodness i got dark V for one of my characters before the update. it was a long grind but the diplomacy missions helped tho lol
i feel like this update to the dark/light system is quicker then the older one
Really good video and explanation Swtorista and tank you for making this video really a big help to get the dark side points you're looking for and also here to support the Channel
Thanks Vander!
awesome video thank the emperor there is a way to farm it other than doing story missions.
cheers!
Okay that characters outfit is fantastic I need it!
They added the update as I was on 9,000 dark side points lmao, so thanks for the video!
Haha! Luckily its just the numbers that changed, not the percentage you need for each tier.
I have no intention of doing a dark side run, as those choices make me sad.
I'm just here to support SWTORISTA
Thanks funky!
Just got back into swtor after a six year hiatus. Much different and better now.

i want the dark light thing back
why it took longer with that system
you can actually just about reach dark V on a character by picking every dark choice in the class story, RotHC, SoR, KOTFE and KOTET, give or take a few hundred from things like FPs
I'm sad they removed the allignment toggle, still trying to get my Jedi Knight all the way to Light 5 before she goes to face Vitiate is gonna be a pain in the ass
It's a shame we don't have the alignment toggle setting anymore but at least this is better.
ilysm Swtorista💯♥️
You helping alot a new player like me xD
It’s about time they let you romance Jaesa as Light Side.
I want to see how her personality would be under that type of relationship.
Be a goody two-shoes. :D
You can in the expansions! :) Sadly its quite short.
after watching this video, I again come to the conclusion that the game is grossly underrated. I don't understand why there are so few languages in the game. I think that's exactly the problem.
can you make a video about what is the best gear that's cheap and how to get the best gear
Thanks a lot for the help

fun tip!
finally the Alignment bar hahaha i think it was dissapear, thankyou
can you make a guide for Social Levels after 7.0? i have no idea how to do that now
Cool one of my brother's swtor charathers are some what like that
Did companions change for 7.0? I haven't played in 2-3 years and my companions seem weaker than before. Did they change them and is every companion as good as the other or are some better than others? Thanks!
Companions are weaker, it's a bug. Tank companions are struggling to keep aggro etc.
Yes. The developers are working on adjusting it better. 7.0 changed a lot.
What crew skills work well with diplomacy to make the rewards better or something like that
Just a major asking. It is very much possible to be a neutral sided with these kind of stuff?
Is there any way to get the dark or light tokens anymore? I saw one of your other videos that said they removed it. Thanks as always for the amazing content! Kept me playing the game when things got confusing
Nope sadly! Maybe in the future.
* May the force serve you well
First like, comment, and view. Keep up the good work and stay safe as always.
my consular babe has shadow and jugger but she is pure light... i have 0 dark right now and i picked darkoption, what meant to be darklight option, but it didnt give me dark points which is awesome hahaha.. not picking it again tho, i only picked that once and my dark points still 0 lol
If you get both Darkside V and Lightside V on the same character, that means you're eternally neutral/grey right?
Can you get rid of Light side Points (rather than just accumulate Dark Side Points)? I have 50 Light Side Points that I want to get rid of for my Sith Warrior toon.
Can someone tell me why kira has a different outfit than what I gave her? I gave her a robe but she's shown wearing something else in conversations. Did I click on something or is it a bug?
Yes it's a long running bug :( Companions may wear the opposite faction version in cutscenes
THEY REMOVED LS/DS TOGGLE BUTTON?!?!!? WHY!!!?? (Thank you so much for sharing this video
Something something darks side
I have LS 1800 and DS 1500 and I'm close to meeting Jaesa. Will I be able to convert her even if my alignment says LS 1 and I have 1500 DS points?
Is there any point to going dark side choices when you're already at dark 5?
Hello, I love your videos
will Diplomacy rank me up? I have over 2000 points but not seeing a rank by it--only my ls rank.
I know its probably not possible but can you max out both light and dark side on one toon?
it'll take you longer then just having another one progress up the other side.
I heard that when you reach dark v / light v your opposite points get reset. Not tested it though.
I just think it would be cool for one of my more Grey changes to have them.both maxed out
So I came back to the game after not playing since around Hutt Cartel. I have a Consular at lvl 11, who had just landed(I think) on Coruscant. She has Light Side 4, with 9k points and diplomacy is only at 5/600. Any idea how this is possible?
Light Side 4 but only level 11? Good question, no idea! Maybe you had reset your diplomacy at some point and started it over..? lol
