What to do While Subscribed to SWTOR
ฝัง

- One of the great things about Star Wars: The Old Republic is that players can subscribe for one month, and then unsubscribe afterwards and retain access to the latest expansions and the ability to level to level 70. Here are SWTOR Subscriber Tips for players who will only be subscribing for a short time, what to do while subscribed, and how to easy the transition of going from Subscriber back to F2P when your sub expires!

Going from subscription to preferred isn't too bad of a transition if you prepare beforehand - here's some tips and tricks for players going from sub to F2P in SWTOR.
*** Create Characters
Subscribing unlocks many more races, with each class gaining new default races you can choose from. After a player unsubscribes, these new options become unavailable again unless the player unlocks them through other means.
Additional races that become unlocked for subscribers:
Chiss: Bounty Hunters and Imperial Agents
Miraluka: Jedi Knights and Jedi Consulars
Mirialan: All Republic classes
Rattataki: Bounty Hunters, Imperial Agents, and Sith Inquisitors
Sith Pureblood: Sith Warriors and Inquisitors
Twi’lek: Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler, and Sith Inquisitor

*** Buy Expensive Things
Free-to-Play players have a credit cap of 200,000 credits. Preferred players have a credit cap of 350,000 credits.
Players may want to look into buying:
Cosmetic Armor from the GTN
Cosmetic Mounts from the GTN
Character and Legacy Unlocks from the Legacy Panel
Strongholds (expensive strongholds like Tatooine, Yavin 4, Manaan)
Stronghold Room Unlocks
Decorations for your Stronghold
Inventory, Bank and Legacy Bank Slots
Account & Character Unlocks from the GTN (availability is limited)
Put Excess Credits in your Legacy Bank
*** Rush or Take Your Time
If you aren’t already max-level, you’ll have two options. Subscribed players gain the ability to earn gear at level 70 through the Galactic Command system, which becomes deactivated once you unsub. If you are very interested in gearing up, you can rush to level 70 and then spend your one month doing activities that gain you gear like operations or pvp, or by doing activities that gain you CXP like heroics, story chapters or flashpoints.
If you’re still a low level, you may also just want to take your time. The good news is that you will gain the ability to reach level 70 and play the expansions even after you unsubscribe. Some players misunderstand the way the expansion unlocks work - you do not have to stay subscribe to level up and play the stories, you only have to have subscribed at least once to unlock them in the first place.
*** Section X
Section X is one of the areas that become unavailable after you unsubscribe, so players at level 50 or higher will want to complete this area and the HK-51 quest started in this area before they unsub.
*** Operations
Operations, the 8-man level 50+ group content, are one of the few activities that you can not do once you unsub. If you want to try operations, make sure to get into a group before your subscription expires.
*** Redistribute Your Goods Before Unsubbing
Preferred players have a default limit of 12 active characters per server. If you have many characters, you won’t be able to play them all while unsubscribed, so make sure to redistribute any credits or unbound items to characters you’ll be playing actively.
*** After you Unsub
Once you unsubscribe, don’t forget after 90 days you can use a friend’s referral code for 7 days of free subscription. You can use these free 7 days to earn high level gear, buy expensive things with your escrowed credits, and take advantage of any of the other subscriber-only perks like being able to gear up though galactic command or join operations.

Some person bought my weapon tuning for 69 million... and then my subscription ended.... oof
Hole moly that's a lot of money in escrow lol.
ouch
You only got to 69 once then
Mr. Bones lmaoooo
Nice
The preferred credit cap is now 1 million credits
this is an older video.... at the time of it's making it was different
What's the free to play credit cap now?
Rafiky 1m i’m pretty sure, n it sure about the preferred though
@@Davesmith12386 nice! I was always sad bc I couldn't get a nice speeder
@@Davesmith12386 afaik you don't need to sub to get preferred access, just buy something from the cartel store. thought subbing is worth it Imo.
Ah, here it is, perfect answers to all my questions, in 7 minutes. Love ya
Cheers!
yey my favourite youtube voice is back^^
If this voice replaces Alexa, I would consider buying such a useless Amazon thingy.
To make sure that you will be able to get all the races make a bunch of characters but don't level them up, I recommend that you get multiple different classes as well so you can enjoy different stories.
For new characters: Only if you are subscribed, you can learn Speeder Riding Rank 1 while below lvl 20 (at the class trainer).
Nice vid Swtorista! Will consider these tips next time I sub. I am very grateful for the Legacy Bank, very handy. You are my favorite SWTOR Influencer.
I was literally looking for this information last night! Thank You cause you gave me some information I didn't find online!
One thing I do when I'm preferred is to keep a watch out for sub rewards. They sometimes only require you to be a sub on a particular date to qualify and the sub via the 7day referral link counts. I recently got the armour and Chiss speeder by using the code a few days before the deadline date.
Good tip Trig!
I love your detailed video description. Incredibly handy and far superior to most TH-cam videos.
Thanks!
Your videos would really have helped me when i started out and was clueless. I appreciate you doing these videos to help the new players and returning players. :) I wish i found your channel before this past year lol.
Good to see your back Swtorista. I'm currently preferred due to lack of funds right now, so this is Grrreat. "The Academy" is so helpful. Your the best!
Cheers! Not really applicable for you right now, I've got some other stuff on my wishlist that will be more useful to preferred players in the future :)
thanks. as a long time player of SWTOR there were several tips in here that I did not know about. glad you're continuing to play SWTOR and create content for it.
Just the video I needed! Thank you!
I would just like to thoroughly thank you for this video and info. Will be very helpful as I’ve been a f2p for years now but plan on becoming a sub this summer.
Cheers! Glad you found it useful, have fun in the summer!
Where was this video when I needed it two years ago? Well Ivan resubed now for a bit. Awesome video.
I am taking my SWEET TIME with playing the main class storyline for my characters, but I haven't playing it for so long now.
this video was exactly what i was looking for....i would like to say as a current player that the lowest subscribe time is now 60 days instead of one month
Cheers!
On Steam you can subscribe for one month at a time.
Thanks for this video! I just have my first sub month this week and didn't know half of what you've said here! YOu are a life saver :D Oh, and... like a lot around here, I love your voice :3
Cheers! Glad you found it useful.
Yay been waiting for a vid like this
Great tips.
I bought Account Unlock Inventory, to full, back in the day on the gtn, best investment I ever made. Not having to blow through credits for no reason on any character, for inventory, ever again. Not sure what the prices are now and if it's still worth it (or worth it on cartel), but it's really nice to have.
Such a mindboggling amount of hoop jumping (your explanations were spot on, and well structured, my gripe is with the messy SWTOR business model) Also, maybe it was because of when I unsubbed initially (between the Hutt Cartel expack and the next one...shadow of Revan?) but I never got back around 4M credits that went into escrow. That, and then losing names due to numerous server merges, just kinda sealed the deal for me on ever coming back to SWTOR.
Always enjoy your videos, cheers
This was very insightful and funny at the same time.
Thank you so much for the information!
I was at the NYC launch for this game, met the Bioware founders. I just haven't played this game in a few years, more so after they honestly made the companions freaking OP.
They definitely are OP. If you did ever return, check out the Master Mode KOTFE/KOTET chapters... they don't care about OP companions haha.
Hi your guides have been so helpful ty so much and best part the voice is not annoying and very crisp and clear. Keep up the video quality and guides.
Cheers! I work really hard for the audio, glad the guides are useful!
this has been a lot of help thanks Swtorista
Im glad i found this channel. I have many questions regarding subscribing to the game. 🤣
Why haven't they made any new playable races in so many years... The last one I can think of was either cathar or togrutta... I've been waiting for years for them to make a new and awesome playable race from the Star Wars universe... Just saying
Actually, the upcoming Onslaught expansion is gonna include a new race. Kit Fisto's race, Nautolan
Indeed why i wonder . maybe because we also have EA shareholders to satisfy ? id bet the dev team at this time for this game is just a bare bones crew . and all theese fat sub payments just go straight in to EA's greedy Maw
The most usefull vido I ever saw for years , Diden't know that if my subs run out I can steal play the new campains and story . Nice worck.
becasue I was here on launch, and open beta. Im a prefered player. I had no idea about this coming back. Thanks for the videos
Cheers! :)
I'm just subscribed to support the devs. Good game!
same :)
lol the same dev's that won't give us twi'lek and togruta hoods.
id bet if the devs had theyr way they would have most of the game features unlocked for theyr players after the first subscription rather than trying to Milk them by restricting basic features like credits . the ability to trade . quality of life features . and the ability to gear up at the end game ...... all that money most of it anyhow goes to EA .They have a greed that can only bee described as a plague
YAY! Another academy video!
I'm subbed now to continue my BH story.
LESGOOO
POGGERS
Nice I like how you say that your voice is so perfect for this
I'll subscribe again. Someday. Maybe. I don't know..
But I always enjoy your video!
Thank you for this very informative video. Looking to come back to the game this week after giving up on it shortly after its release .
Good timing, have fun! There's a ton that's been added since then. If you're lost on where to continue if you are picking up an old character check out this story order list www.reddit.com/r/swtor/wiki/story
Swtorista, I really like the vids and thank you for all the content you put out! If i may, I would like to make an addition to this list. The Oricon quest line requires you to be subbed to complete the expansion. There is a point in the quest chain where you have to do, Operation: Dread Fortress, which is locked out for Preferred players. Maybe add it in the description? Just a thought. Either way, great video!! :)
Hello my dear, glad to see you uploaded again, I always enjoy watching your videos.
Wow, Swtorista, you must have some sort of Force precognition, because I just got a 30-day subscription (first time I've subscribed!) that I am not planning to renew. I thought your video was very informative and helpful--thank you very much! I just have one question: So Section X allows you to gain access to a new companion. Will I have to fully complete the missions needed to get the companion while I am a subscriber, or will I just be able to start the mission as a subscriber and finish it later when I am only preferred? Additionally, is the companion (once unlocked) account/server wide, or do I have to get the companion for every character that I want him on?
Thanks again!
Cheers great timing!
I haven't done it recently, so my memory is a bit hazy. dulfy.net/2012/10/11/swtor-patch-1-5the-hunt-for-hk-51companion-droid/ and this video guide shows you need to find all the parts and return to Section X th-cam.com/video/LEGL79VfO7I/w-d-xo.html and I believe you pick up HK-51 on Section X itself on the Fatality crashed ship. If you aren't subbed you won't be able to get back to Sec X I believe. Once you complete the quest line on any character, you can get a legacy unlock for any character for 1,000,000 credits.
For the credit cap, you can bypass it using the cartel coins gained with the security key app on phone
Good tip, thanks silver!
Pls elaborate
@@sayednaser7739 explain please?
@@sayednaser7739 If you get the security key app on the phone for SWTOR (like a second password that changes each time) you get 100 CC each month.
@@zecat3727 So it means you have to change your security question every month, or am I misunderstanding it?
Is that an exploit or working as intended?
Dope Video! Sending blessing your way, Keep inspiring!🎒🙌🏻
such a soothing voice
You guys are doing the god's work...
Think I’ll give this game a try again. Let’s see how my old 55 pureblood sorcerer has held up. Having played wow since bc and this game off an on since it’s launch, I have recently found myself immensely unsatisfied with wow. For some strange reason this game is like calling me back lol. I’m installing tonight and might even stream it !
Good luck and welcome back!
Awesome video that is helping me with some friends who decided to re-sub again. ~Countsmakula
Oh thanks :D I just subbed
Good timing!
Looking for HK parts is pain
This looks like something that might want to be updated with the new Sith expansion dropping in Dec.
buy and unlock all the big strongholds, go to gtn and buy most outfit and weapon skins
Ive been watching your awesome videos for about a week now, and it just hit me! You sound almost exactly like the adjutant from starcraft 1 :D
Nice Video
Where were u five years ago when I first played this game blindly
im so glad i used that valentines code and got an extra month
Cheers! I thougt this might be a good time for this with that promo having come out :)
Thanks for the video. I'm preferred until Friday when I get my check, so I take it I'd have to sub in order to send credits or is there an unlock you can buy? I stacked cartel coins and have around 5k atm. Btw, what armor is your vanguard wearing? The blue / white one, think I've seen it before but unsure as it looks cool :) *edit* I saw the part about the legacy storage, my bad.
Perfect video for you! That armor is similar to this one: torf.mmo-fashion.com/vandinite-asylum-pub/
some of the 'knights of the fallen empire cutscenes' froze on me, had to set my settings to low. And i have a decent pc
That can happen, it's a big and old game so glitches are prone
I’d say take advantage of the expansion packs I enjoyed the Fallen Empire story and I’m waiting to get a bit more cash in my steam to get at least a 90 day subscription.
dont buy it of steam brother, taht doesnt work and is hella buggy, just buy it via the swtor offical website
Narrate my life
"Zoe got some cereal this morning. It was not too bad - a little soggy, but Zoe ate it all the same."
👍👍💪🤣🤣🤣️🏆 With me it was oatmeal, 3 eggs over easy, crisp bacon, and dry toast. Followed by a half pot of coffee.
Swtorista Ty ❤️
@@OdeeOz damn
Thank u ! :)
The races remind me of when Rift went buy-to-play shortly after its 1st expansion. I bought it for 10$ but didn't get the promised extra races and classes. Had to write a polite mail to customer support and they corrected the bug. Rift is an okay fantasy mmo but obviously Swtor is better story-wise.
I love your videos. They are incredibly informative for a noob like me. Thanks.
Great job really convinced mee to sub! I have one question though, can you play expansions with someone who is not subbed?
No you can't sadly, though the first two expansions are free.
im not going to lie i would love to take advantage of alot of these things but i dont even know how to do half these things :(
Although its understandable since I am on my first playthrough
this is me, and i can’t even experiment because my pc can’t run swtor
@@nakseyyy have you tried minimum graphics? I have a cheap HP laptop that runs the game really well at min, its a small sacrifice imo.
Hey, I have a question about the referral code subscription. If I get a free week of subscription, do I get access to those exclusive story lines (excluding Section X) and the higher level cap still? Or is it necessary to pay for that?
Swtorista love your videos, recommended more than a few new players to your TH-cam channel, far better than the in-game tutorials will ever be. Would like to add, if players are serious about crafting, especially high end gear, you basically have to be a subscriber.
For example I spend about 20 Million credits just on materials, each time I craft about 40 high end 246 Mods/Armorings/Enhancements, to sell on the GTN.
And that is with me harvesting a lot of the tier 10 materials on Iokath myself, to cut costs.
Got sick of the high prices on the 246 stuff above, so I decided to force prices down. I sell my times at a flat rate of 530000 credits each, compared to the 700000 - 1000000 each my competitors sell at.
I put a wide variety of items up on the GTN for about a day, that way when people come along to undercut me, it keeps the prices lower for buyers since others come along and undercut them and that repeats usually until my next batch of stock is ready.
People have given up trying to buy out my stock since every few days I put another load of items up ;)
How do I make a profit selling that low? on the 40 crafted Items I make, I might only make 20000 credits after materials.
But when I craft those 40 items, I have a 28% chance of getting another one for free. The most crafting crits I have had so far is 16 free items, that's were my profit comes from and allows me to sell at affordable prices.
(anything you can't wear, has a crit chance of making a second item, which is how many crafters make their money. Any item you can wear only has a chance of getting a free augment slot. which is why gear prices are so high)
I play on the Satele Shan server (Bmnoble is my main character on the Imperial side)
Holy moly what a crafting tip! And definitely, high end crafting is for subs.
Space capitalism
Do i have to manually unsubscribe or does it ends if i don't renew it or something?
They used to offer operation passes in the cartel market for preferred players. Those were nice.
I think they mentioned they are looking in to them or another solution. I imagine it's hard to balance.
@@Swtorista that would be cool :)
Actually a dope vid ty
Well done.
I'll be a subscriber for a couple of month
They should remove the cxp restriction for preferred, as things are now preferred players cant get xp or spend credits and if they already did all the content there is no reason to grind
I am honored to be in the same guild as you :)
/wave!
Your voice is so... perfect damn
If I create some of locked races during subscription and lvl up it to lvl 50 after subscription is over can I make this race with difrent class without subscription again
I just started this game I'm 2019 bought a maxed character n lvled one to 55 so far very long grind but amazing story so far
long grind? im free to play and almost at 50 in a few days of just doing my class missions.....
souldragon121 Is there exp reduction still over lv 10 onwards?
For sure I'll get at least one month, but it's possible I'll maintain a subscription to support the game and keep the full benefits unless I can't afford it one month.
Hi. I have some question because a few thing is not clear.
I'm planning to buy 1 month subscription, but my englis isn't very good.
question 1: if I complete the HK-51 mission and I buy it for 1 million credit from the legacy panel, then can I use it on the other new characters after I'm unsub? (because i see a lot of player have these kind of companions on lvl.1)
question 2: If I buy a species from the legacy panel can I still use in character creation after I'm unsub?
question 3: Will I lost my authorizations after I'm unsub? or some of them are will still available?
So I know they made some changes recently, do you still have to sub to partake in ops? Just wondering cause my guild has quite a few new people coming in fresh and that could potentially be a deterrent
Yep you need to be currently subscribed to do ops
I bought /angrydance emote, best choice I made in my life :D
Haha! That one cracks me up.
lol this vid is almost 2 years old... still very useful since not much has changed (I hope at least)
and if there's still people answering comments: I know subs have access to stuff such as artifact equipment that'd you'd normally buy with cartel coins, when my subscription ends do I get to keep all of those too?
You lose artifact authorization when you unsub. But you can keep any gear you're already wearing
I wish I was still interested in this game, of course I am but there just seems so much to do and I don't have the time to invest in all of it anymore, I wish I was a subscribed player for longer when I was still a kid, and had all the free time in the world to play it. I remember my dream was buying a house on MOS Eisley and just wondering the deserts messing with lower-level players.
omg that voice :D
Hey Swtorista, i just got a small question! Just want to know how long you are playing swtor now? Because it seems like you just got everything in the game :D
For a long, long time. Since the game came out :) I don't have everything though - there's lots of achievements and gear I don't have!
So 350000 credits? So if i buy the suscription they will give me that amount of credits? And again what should be a great moment to buy the suscription? Oh and for the races i supouse is better to buy the legacy option (i supouse this will mean that the race ill buy can buy usable for all characters that i use), how i buy the items in legacy option (the races in this case)? If i make i character with the unlockable races (by the suscription) can i sill use that character after after the suscription ends?
I wonder if I unsub Premium do I keep all empty charater slots after premium time has ended?
what youtube would you suggest for someone returning to the game during a certain timeline. Have you seen this gif?
How could I send you a .GIF file?
question if i make 24 chars the designated limit for subbed players then go preferred am i Locked out of 12
I really like the game but some of these restrictions are weird. I can't even hide my helmet lol
I mean it's EA sooo...
So when you are subscribed and then your subscription runs out would your level 60 character revert to level 50 or do the levels stay the same? Can you still level up being a preferred player past level 50?
Nope your character's level would not revert. You keep the ability to get to max level and you keep access to the stories on any current or new characters :)
My friends and I are planning on starting today should we subscribe the first month or once we hit level 50. Also do you have a referral code we can use
Hey there Sam and friend! I recommend waiting to subscribe to see if you like the game. Here's the referral, make sure to use it before you each make your account! www.swtor.com/r/lvbKCY
I'm thinking of buying a laptop but i want one that i know can play swtor on. Anybody have any tips. I'd really appreciate it.
shame there is no trandoshan race to choose to play as :(
Norbiee I wouldn’t leave the game if that was an option. Same goes for Kaleesh(?), the race of General Grievous
This isn't Star Wars Galaxies lol
Yes. And all Trandoshans are ranked so you can see if your adventures please the Scorekeeper or not.
@@starkillermatt91 And that really sucks. Fuck whoever said that running two MMOs at once was bad.
Neither Trandoshan nor Kaleesh would sound particularly good with the existing character voices.
Now its 1m credits for ftp
how do I do section X now? I think I reset my HK quest... and now I cant get it anymore? I still have that thing to find parts with tho
Little update 'Your legacy bank can only be accessed in your stronghold' (at 3:55) They changed it :) There is a bank on the fleet in the middle bank area.
yes great change!
I'm not even subbed right now, and I still come back to Swtorista videos just to hear her wonderful voice.
you didn't do a sith inquisitor video last week
I was outside in the garden instead sorry :D
No worries, we love your vids.
So i still don't understand the whole refferal code thing?
1: Does it do anything else than 7 days free subscription?
2: What does the guy with the code you click get? / Why is everyone trying to promote their code?
3: I am currently a F2P and i'm wondering if a F2P can get those sweet 7 days of subscription?
4: If it really is that good to have a refferal code, how do you get one?
5: Is there a differnece on peoples refferal codes? / Can they offer different stuff?
That's pretty much it..
Haue 1- yeah you get a couple of extras aswell, little convenience items and that
2-the person who’s link you click gets cartel coins
3- yeah, you can
4- yeah, it’s worth it- everyone gets a their own referral code, you check it on the SWTOR page
5- nah
It's a shame that you can't buy legacy and stronghold room unlocks with credits you have in your legacy bank. My friend (f2p with credit cap) has 600k credits in his legacy back but can't spend it. A real shame...
Wora wtf you call it a shame? Keep in mind that f2p was involved to test the game and not to "play it" although you can do every class story as f2p which is very very fair
Well, ask yourself the question why that is. Clearly BioWare wants to push people into subbing or spending money (escrow) where they can. In the end I can't blame a company for wanting to make money but there's a lot about the how where BioWare could do a lot better.
I think how it is it's good. You're not buying what is, but future. Do you want swtor to stop exist? Do you want to just live knowing that old is dying while Diney is creating new ugly mutants?
I played this game from the beta. I was there when it went live with early access. I was there when about 80% of the players left in less than 6 months after release. I was there for the server merges in that year as well (two rounds there were) and the introduction of F2P and the cartel market.
I wasn't happy about F2P and the CM but I knew that the game was almost dead and they had to do something to give the game a future. So I bought cartel packs to support a brighter future for SWTOR.
Then RotHC came out and the abandoned the class stories. We just got a planetary story arc for each faction.
Then SoR came out and reduced everything to one story. Also this expansion was smaller than the previous one.
Then KoTFE came out. A single story again but no new group content. They just made everything easier and bumped existing group content to max level. Instead of new content we got the same content that we already beat many times.
Then KoTET came out and we got yet a smaller expansion and they did the same trick with endgame and added a terrible endgame reward system that drove many people away. This ultimately led to another round of server merges.
Now I've stopped playing the game. Now I spent easily 150 bucks per month on this game for quite some time and what I got in return was smaller and smaller expansions, rehashed content and bad progression systems.
So please, don't give me this bs about paying for the future. They put that money in EA's pockets and they'll do the minimum they can get away with. This game has no future. It's just going to be kept alive for those who are still willing to throw their money at it. This game isn't even a shadow of what it used to be.
I don't need it die, but it's fine by me if it does. I'd rather have no SWTOR than what it is today myself...but I don't mind if other people want to keep it alive. Good luck with it. I can't wait to see how disappointing 6.0 will be.
Hristos of Bosnia This is how haters see it. Fans of star wars, those with knowledge of economy, wow players.. For those it's normal. Look at wow and how it works there. Swtor has much better f2p
Hey swtorista I sen this video and tried to subscribe but keep getting errors are the severs having problems?????
No idea sorry dude. I don't think the servers are having issues. Try googling the exact error words it gave you.
