I've been totally "legacy unlocked" so long now I'd forgotten that quick travel even had a cooldown. Man, starting out in SWTOR was a grind back in the day. I sometimes miss it, but WoW Classic reminded me of why that nostalgia is actually misplaced.
@@enwmedez5573 yea, lvling was harder back then but i liked it way more then nowadays where you are almost always overleveled for every planet and its not even a challenge anymore. 1 reason why i stopped playing^^
@@Redemption956 yeha I definitely get you mate, they spent so much money making these rich world environments and then just give exp boost after exp boost so that you subscribe and don't bother playing the worlds. They want to get you to the new, end game content as soon as possible, which is a shame because the original stuff is so great.
Fun trick with Rocket Boost, they count when you're using "random mount" so, you can have no mount (except your legacy wide Rocket Boost) and you can use random mount to summon rocket boost at level 1 in lieu of a speeder, since they are faster than level 1 speeder piloting (though you can get dismounted) Edit: You circumvent the rocket boost cooldown timer when you summon via random mount. So you mount up, boost until it expires, and then mount again and get back to rocket boosting. (Does not work in no mount areas)
Wasn't there a referal speeder that had always level 3 speeder piloting enable on it ? Kurtob Aliance or something like that was the name. I basically use that one to save the hasstle. Doesn't expire :P
@@MCWojtekk No, I've level up quite a lot of alts and I still start new ones from time to time as well and I'm fairly confident that this one starts at "Speeder piloting 3" speeds, unlike the other "freebies" I've accumulated over the years. That speeder was intended to be like that from the get-go, so I'm not sure why would they change it back to the rest of the speeders ? But maybe they did ... Not sure. Haven't played in a bit.
Being a seasoned player, I really enjoyed this video and overall this channel. Informative content, took 3 years off and am back now, these are extremely helpful refreshers. Thank you!
Two things extra, might help some: I always use the taxi speeders to unlock all travel points because then I can just QT there. Secondly, do the heroics. You will get good gear for your character and of course XP and money. I have done this and the above mentioned in the video for a long time. I am mostly 5-7 levels above current world, which it of course easier to finished.
Anything I search for related to Swtor ,your videos are the first ones to pop up, and amazing videos at that. Thanks for all the time and effort put towards helping plebs like me understand Swtor. You're awesome.
Hey Swtorista! I just started playing at the beginning of the year after building my first PC and just want to say thanks for the wealth of information you have available for all of us. Like yourself, way back in the day, the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight/ KOTOR games were some of the first Star Wars video games I ever played. I was instantly hooked and have played the life out of those games since. I've been waiting to play this game since release and I just finished my first Character's arc and leveled to 75. I've got a bunch of expansion gameplay left to accomplish and I've been using your videos on the chronological way to do them, so I don't miss out on any detail. I've been going through your videos on what else to do as well, like veteran flashpoints etc, yet I've run into a problem trying to find Operation instances. That, and I have no idea what to spend my accumulated credits on. Anyways, I'm glad you're still making videos after all this time; they're very helpful for people like me who are somewhat new to mmos. Hope you have a great day!
Wow congratulations on reach level 755! Credits kinda have very little use. Flip through the legacy/character perks and unlocks see if you like any. Buy cosmetic items. Getting the best gear in the game gets quite pricy moving mods around, spending tech fragments, getting augments, and crafting if you're interested in that, check out getting the nicer strongholds, etc! As for operations. They are a whole thing. The hardest part is finding a group to do them with haha. I don't have a set list of tips for getting in to them yet.
@@SwtoristaI ended up just spamming general chat in the fleet for about an hour and I fortunately found a group and ran in it, just learned about the whole conquest system etc. It was very very very chaotic and fun. I have enough creds to get a stronghold, I may go that route and work on grabbing armor, or I may just jump into another class story. Thanks again!
Here's a quick little tip (kinda): the Sith Marauder (idk if Jugg also has this) has a short period invis ability called Force Camoflauge, which grants invisibilty for 4 or 5 seconds (can be upgraded to 7 seconds). It must be used right before getting attacked by mobs. But, it still works!
I played swtor for 4 years and then my mom deleted the game because it made the computer go slow while I was at school and I haven’t been able to play it since then and now I’m getting a new pc and your videos have been really helpful
Man... I was a preorder and haven't played in years. Came back recently and grinded up a sith inquisitor to level 71 while completely ignoring the legacy stuff. Life just got a lot easier!
I am new here old time wow player since 2004 and I rly found your 📹 clips very crystal clear speaking fpr helping a person to get into this game from the gego. Keep it up. Stwor seems amazing game thinking of starting especially since the new expansion coming
I always wanted to level up fast back in the day... now I like to level slowly, doing EVERY mission on EVERY planet and enjoying the content. Hitting the Level Cap is overrated anyway, lol
I think guild bonus goes up to 15% xp, from level 50+ guilds. On leveling, I highly recommended people try to run with dps companions if they are speed running, and put the many medpacs, that drop, on your bar. If you decide to do heroics, try out your companion on dps, or heals without the channeled heal on and see how it feels. (they'll do more dmg) If you are always higher level than the planet you're on, don't worry too much about the mod slot, but more about the enhancement slot and left side. Mastery power and endurance are capped. But you still get all of your secondary stats including defense. Do intro to crafting, when you hit the fleet, and talk to every trainer. Do intro to strongholds at level 15. Claim any titles you have unlocked in collections. Black talon spacebar is great xp until about level 30, it's decent until the 40s iirc. Makeb is underrated, use the gsi clicky, it will boost you stats if necessary, heal you in combat and boost exploration xp by 250%. Quicker daily zones are pretty good too, like the black hole and czerka. Kotfe is great xp from 60-66.(kotfe loses a digit of xp after 66, unless they patched it) (and Onslaught as well 70+) But don't do those if you want to preserve your class story. Imo a combination of bt and heroics were the fastest way to level pre 6.0, (excluding bug hunt and yavin cheese) Not sure how long heroics take now with the mobs being heftier, might be better to group level through them for speed. (side note reminder, that you don't need a ship to spam heroics, you just need to hit their minimum level, and they usually will appear earlier on the fleet terminal than they will in your control G interface) Sorry for the book :/
There is a 15% XP bonus a guild can always have applied, but that can be augmented by temporary guild ship-module boosts that Come-and-Go and expire after something like 30-60 days granting additional passive bonus boosts like: +3% XP All Sources, or +5% XP from Ops, Etc. So I think the max passive XP boost from all activities is potentially 18%, and maybe 23% for a specific activity. Absolutely everybody should join a guild. My biggest mistake was waiting until finishing my first character story and starting my 2nd before joining a guild.
I have found the single best _PLAYER ACTIVATED_ Guild Ability for any newish players is *_OMNIFICATION_* which grants the player ALL FOUR CLASS COMBAT BUFFS _(ie: +5% Crit, +5% Health/Endurance, +5% Internal Bleeding/DoT attacks, +5% Whatever-the-other-one-is)._ Like the application of the normal class buff, it lasts 60-minutes, so needs to be re-activated after an hour. The _Jedi War Council_ having _Omnification_ A.T.M. has me so spoiled!!
i would just like to say thank you for your videos! i just started SWTOR this week and they are extremely helpful and have helped me understand the game more and more as well as discover mechanics i probably wouldn't have found on my own. thanks again! ❤
One tip that slipped by was to change your settings to the auto-loot function. Saves you the trouble of manually picking up every individual loot that drops.
One "Double XP" weekend my guildmaster was complaining that we needed more ranged DPS in our ops groups. I offered to make a Gunslinger and when he got to 7 or so, we gathered three max level (65 at the time) characters to run Heroics with him. I didn't use anything off the cartel market, but just running heroics for two days with a max level group got me to 65 on the second day.
I speed run my characters as well and I found unlocking the flashpoints xp boost in the legacy + running hammer station was the most effective way to level up fast. I used to do heroics but trust me, hammer station is the way to go. You can start doing it from level 16 but this isn’t too bad.
1. Do the class story on the capital world, which gives you your ship. 2. Put you credits into the explorer experience boost. 3. Use XP boost items. 4. Then simply access the galaxy map and start visiting higher level planets. You can easily gain 3-5 levels on planets like Rishi and Yavin by simply speeding around, and revealing the map.
Rishi is only worth exploring early if you have a stealth character, takes too much time to maneuver around enemies otherwise. Yavin is great either way though.
@@tTaseric They were just examples really, Mek-Sha is another good option to explore. Agreed the mobs of enemies will one hit you on Rishi, but you can reveal the town and some of the other areas for some nice quick leveling up. Another risky trick you can attempt on Yavin is to be near your factions main camp in the jungle. Then find the nearest beasts and attack them, and flee back into the camp, and let defenders and turrets kill them for you, while you get the XP for it.
@@freakinpfeiff7831 They won't level on their own. Rest XP is a modifer that is placed on your XP gain, so after resting a certain amount of the XP you gain is doubled.
Great video and tips. I did two speed runs recently during the double experience event. I made a video series out of each one. Doing everything on a planet went much quicker at a little over 7 hours from 1-75. In a second run I did only the class stories and that took a little over 10 hours from 1-75. I might try again during the next double experience event, I think I can get it below 7 hours.
My own little guide: 1.: get a guild on the starterplanet, press U to travel to their flagship, retrieve about 1mil credits from your legacy bay to unlock all the important leveling perks like exploration boost. Make sure to have about 3 major exp boosts on you, either by getting them off gtn, guild bank or from the datacube missions on nar shaddaa. On fleet in general chat ask to be invited to someones rishi sh ( ns sh first if u need the exp boosts from datacube missions) and then let them kick you. Now explore the full map of rishi which will get you above level 20 withing 20 min. From here level with flashpoints to level 60 (50 and from there heroics is a bit faster esp with a group). Once lvl 60 play chapter 1 of Kotfe till 66 then do kotet chapters till 70. After that speedrun ossus in about 20mins and do the story missions on onderon. Gz youre done. This will take approx 12-24 hrs depending on how experienced you are, but with double exp around the corner you can level 1-3/4 chars a day if you really want to push it. Enjoy
I have two ideas that would make this game greater. 1st. We should be able to use your extra characters as a companion. It would be awesome to venture the galaxy with my Sith Warrior and Sith Sorcerer teaming together. 2nd. All characters should be interactive in your ship and homebase. And when you interact with them, they give you intel on your current quest.
Payed the game on and off since beta but never really got ‘into’ it. Started again and doing all purple quests along all the planets in the sequence. Having a blast. No idea what I’m doing, but it’s fun. Thanks for the vid also. Making me want to keep playing it 😊
Great video - I would also suggest, if you have already run them, skipping the planet story and just sticking to the character storyline. Also heroic or (H2) quests can be a quick way of getting xp. If you can get a like minded player to join you for any of your questing this will cut the time taken as you will fly through neccessary kills even faster. Also, getting onto the next planet as fast as possible is advised as the xp available will exceed that available from earlier planets. Finally, if you are familiar with the game "death porting" is always a fun way of getting around - this is where you kill yourself to end up back at a respawn point which will leave you nearer to your next quest giver.
I speedran the class story for 4 of the classes while I was waiting for Onslaught to release, honestly it isn't super difficult to stay a high enough level to keep up with the story if you're subscribed and do one or two side quests per planet, I finished the stories at around level 46-49 on each of the characters, although stacking boosters would definitely help if you're not subscribed.
I love the video but can you do a video about all the valuable legacy perks that you can unlock? This was very useful! As a returning player, I didn't know about these little known perks. Ex the legacy bank and rocket boot!
The quickest way i've been able to level up as a subscriber is playing flashpoints constantly lots of XP and being boosted to level 70 is an added bonus giving low level chars the chance to deal damage
Thank you for your helpful videos! I just returned after leaving the game 8 years ago and with all the changes and expansion packs since I'm totally lost and confused LOL
6:12 For HK-51, I've noticed that if you claim it from Legacy, you only get one sniper rifle with the purple cristal, while if you do the complete quest, you get 2 sniper rifle with the purple cristal (+36 crit). So if you like purple cristals, you might want to do the quest line. I know you can get purple cristal from the Championship vendors on Zakuul (+41), and sometimes on the GTN, but for Free to Play who can't use artifact quality cristals, this is the best they can get. Of course, if you unluck HK-51 from a ranged character for which you don't mind the cristal, you may transfer the cristal to a dual saber caracter through a legacy item.
Ive been off and on player since the beginning but after returning a couple months ago I actually paid attention to the legacy unlocks, so glad I picked up the jump boost and quick travel reductions, I havent't done the mount while moving one yet so I guess thats next. Despite how much Ive played I still feel very noob but also joined a pretty well done guild has made it enjoyable. Also done a lot of quick lvling through running Flashpoints often
You can hit max level in two days top. Finish first three planets and gather a crap ton of XP boosts, once you have like 5-6 of them start doing Heroics, that's pretty much it if you're looking for a max level toon with no titles or whatever, otherwise you'll be ready to hit the new expansion in no time. One day if there's an exp event, like the one coming in few days 25th if I'm correct - you can do it in a matter of hours, just find a mobs farming group. Imp side is on Balmorra, and the Rep I think Alderaan.
At launch I remember the ship missions being the fastest way but recently my guild was down a healer as they quit the game so I changed back to healer but didn't have a con as I hate that class story. A group of 4 of us started at level 1 and basically just the class stories till we got our ships then did heroics and the xp was insane.
There are also the intermittent double-xp weeks, which when combined with the xp boost items can get you from 1-75 in a matter of hours, especially if you join a Balmoran Bug Hunt or Nar Shadaa Imperial Raid op.
Swtorista.Very nice and useful video . My opinion as one of the first players involved in this game (since beta) is: fast leveling makes very bad favore for new players.Why I do think so is a matter of long explanation. However there are lots of people who prefers fast leveling, hence I find this is good guide for them.
Get level 15+ Spend credits on Legacy which gives you 6% more XP on killing mobs and can be stacked if upgraded max+ Sub+ use 1 or 3-hour XP boost+Join a guild that has xp boosts+ play Hammer Station Veteran Flashpoint.
For me, it has been basically "run story until you get your ship, after that - do whatever". I used to love leveling up with Flashpoints, but that was from back in the days when the level cap was 60. Nowadays it's just main story to get all the companions and by the time I reach Belsavis, I'm at the cap and I go do something else ... Like roll another Sniper or Operative, coz damn if the Imperial Agent story ain't the best there ever was ! :D
I usually add running space missions after your 2nd planet. I usually leave Coruscant at level 24-28. From gearing up on the Fleet station, I launch and take mission in space. These are good for ~3 levels by time I get maxed & can’t fly missions for a week, lol.
I just found a niche of the niche to consider when leveling. With Onslaught, there are amplifiers that appear on gear. Some of them increase experience point gains from completing certain tasks (missions, PvP, Flashpoints, etc). While these have no real effect when doing story quests, as the higher stats will always be better, in a scenario where you are scaled, like a flashpoint, those amplifiers can help give just that liiiiiiiiittle bit more experience here and there.
actually I have an off topic question. If you decine a group invite or guild invite, the message they get is a nice one, right? I always feel bad when I refuse invites.
@Swtorista it's so nice to hear your lovely voice again. Now I'm preferred since no new expansions had been released yet. Besides I've started as F2P way back in 2012 and during my return in 2015 :) I still miss the old UI system it had before KotFE Be safe and be such a sweet girl you always are ;)
Im not really looking to lvl up fast but this vid did tell me a few things to do like find a guild and get a ship,im a bounty hunter lvl26 and i dont know where to get a ship but this vid did give me some info ty for thet
Swtorista do you know if the new update has had an effect on levelling up I restarted the game yesterday and my character had a big problem leveling up I got to the last mission on koraban and my character was on level 7 as opposed to 11 which is what they usually are
Well ich leveled 5 Characters to lvl 50 and to the end of there class storys in the last 3 weeks to finally get all 8 done. I saw that the fastest way to level a character is to as you said just do the purple quests or sometimes even just the class quests, depending on your lvl and if you would die if you would just rush further. 3 hour XP-Boosts are granted after completing a class quest so these aren't really a problem to think about and as you said the quick travel maxed out is a life saver xD
I really lean on heroic missions on my alts. They might seem slow on some planets, but they give decent XP and give my character a big influx of credits from the rewards, which i can use to buy legacy unlocks.
Also in the beginning of each class you could not start the story and just Kill enemies till like, level 10 then when the story ACTUALLY starts..... You're a Little OP. ( i've not watched the whole vid, sorry still love the channel and the vids.) Just thought about the title and was thinking of MY way I leveled up.
Fastest way of lvling was running WZs in my time, if u are paying player and intrested in pvp at least... just do your start planet and as soon as u hit the fleet jump into gf for low-lvl WZs
They may be given out as rewards for subscribing within a time frame again in the future. I know I missed Nico the first time around but got it within the last two years since Ive subbed again starting in late 2017. Its probably going to be rare but keep an eye out on the swtor website for announcements. Hard to say when they might do that for him again though. I know I have seen a lot of complaints from players about how it was stupid that those that already had him the first time didnt get anything for subbing. Something on that line :/
The "fast" answer: Play. With Conquest exp. points for everything you do, it's ridiculous how quickly you level up now. It doesn't even matter what equipment you have, because you're always too high a level for the planet you're questing on, and your equipment/health etc. are auto-nerfed. In my experience, I have lower health and weaker equipment than someone playing at the correct level does (when you can find someone who isn't playing at a reduced level) and it's still usually not challenging. But it's fun for now, so I'll keep going. (It's just that I don't care about end-game content at all, and would rather enjoy the leveling experience.)
There is a dirty trick with the Yavin SH (or any high lvl SH). Gotta get invited, then get kicked. It should spawn you outside the SH, so on Yavin 4. About 20 lvls in half an hour just by exploration. Gotta have the money for the basic taxi service.
Yes I am expecting that at some point this will be "fixed' so I didn't include it in the video, but it's in the text version. Friend has a whole guide about how to do Rishi efficiently and fully.
fast traveling between planets is counterproductive when doing only story quests, you still have to be on ship to start the new planet main quest, therefore I use legacy perk personal ship teleport :)
Hiya again swtorista been awhile since ive left a comment on your video do to some complications i havent been able to play SWTOR lately only mange to complete sith warrior :/ . but ill be fine just wanted to say thanks for uploading these videos still enjoy seeing videos about swtor. have you ever thought about making a let's play of a character or anything like that?
I was thinking of trying to level bounty hunter in Hutta from start aka lvl 1 with assault cannon, only starter missions at first, then simply blasting low level NPCs nearby and stuff.. I want to find, if there isn't any leveling cap on Hutta missions. Crazy idea in itself ! ? Nice videos. WBR.
Ya I’ve been doing speed leveling up with my Jedi consular class and I will be doing it on my Jedi Knight class too. I just need to do it only the other classes I haven’t completed the story class too. I can’t wait to become legendary status
Nice👌🏼 I watch this video and it jogged something’s I forgot about but now I remember about the legacy perks stuff you can unlock with credits and such
Thanks for all the tips. But the most difficult thing about playing as F2P is the lack of weapons, as most of the better weapons need the certificate to wield. It could be bought in the market, but the price is always higher than the 1mil that none-subscribers are allowed to have.
If your just playing the story for fun you don't even need to worry about leveling anymore. The planet caps and nerfs make you level up so fast now you could just play through normally and still be maxed out by the end of 3rd chapter of each story
Hello i like very much your channel i whatched a long time but this is the first time i comment There is any possibility off this game come to ps4 ? Because me and my friends and more than 500k people want this game on ps4 because is so great and do you have heard if this game come to ps4 or not ?
@AL D but they make DC universe that have the same amount off buttons, eso, star trek and many other games there is a looooot off console players that will like this game and controls are not an escuse for not make an game
What I do is I have level and on the starting Planet I start doing Starfighter immediately. I continue to do Starfighter and class missions accordingly. You Can level fairly quickly to 50 within a couple of days. Once you're round 50 start doing dailies and between 30 and 50 flashpoints and then once you hit 50 start doing your dailies. Rinse and repeat it would take about 3 1/2 total days to get to level 75 that's been my experience
I have almost all of the Legacy perks unlocked, but there are some I don't have (such as portable trainer) because the Legacy menu stopped working for me last year. Accessing it the normal way freezes the game. The Help desk was no help. It's the only part of the game that doesn't work for me so I've just been doing without it.
i just started swtor two days ago. it’s really fun so far!
And it will just keep getting better! :)

Credits kinda have very little use. Flip through the legacy/character perks and unlocks see if you like any. Buy cosmetic items. Getting the best gear in the game gets quite pricy moving mods around, spending tech fragments, getting augments, and crafting if you're interested in that, check out getting the nicer strongholds, etc!
As for operations. They are a whole thing. The hardest part is finding a group to do them with haha. I don't have a set list of tips for getting in to them yet.
@@SwtoristaI ended up just spamming general chat in the fleet for about an hour and I fortunately found a group and ran in it, just learned about the whole conquest system etc.
It was very very very chaotic and fun. I have enough creds to get a stronghold, I may go that route and work on grabbing armor, or I may just jump into another class story.
Thanks again!
Query : Master, why are you making the opponents stronger.
Happy declaration: Yet no-one will ever reach my level
The HK-55 did you defeat arcaan yet?
Sentence : Almost, thank you for asking I just need Lana, Koth and Theron so I can grab my blaster rifle and kill him.
Appreciation: Thanks for asking
i took your adv ie and did only class missions and finally have my Legendary Status!!!!! Thanks, again. And I'm sure for other videos, again.
Your reading voice is so smooth and your diction is crisp - you are quite an orator ma'am.
Here's a quick little tip (kinda): the Sith Marauder (idk if Jugg also has this) has a short period invis ability called Force Camoflauge, which grants invisibilty for 4 or 5 seconds (can be upgraded to 7 seconds). It must be used right before getting attacked by mobs. But, it still works!
Good tip!
I played swtor for 4 years and then my mom deleted the game because it made the computer go slow while I was at school and I haven’t been able to play it since then and now I’m getting a new pc and your videos have been really helpful
Man... I was a preorder and haven't played in years. Came back recently and grinded up a sith inquisitor to level 71 while completely ignoring the legacy stuff. Life just got a lot easier!
I really like that you have the option to do that now.
I am new here old time wow player since 2004 and I rly found your 📹 clips very crystal clear speaking fpr helping a person to get into this game from the gego. Keep it up. Stwor seems amazing game thinking of starting especially since the new expansion coming

I always wanted to level up fast back in the day... now I like to level slowly, doing EVERY mission on EVERY planet and enjoying the content. Hitting the Level Cap is overrated anyway, lol
I love the cutscenes so much I removed the spacebar from my gaming keyboard.
haha!
aha! i bet you re the one who doesnt spacebar during flashpoints.
@@executor46 ugh I hate it when people are impatient during flashpoints. I'm like I want to see the story damnit
i wish there was a guild like you. who cares more about the story then killing the last boss and getting all the shinny.
@@deleteduser121 dude, the key of fun is playing the game by enjoying the story
Leveling up in this game is now so easy! My Sith Juggernaut is now over lvl 40 and is just leaving Nar Shaddaa.
Yeah I started a new bounty hunter yesterday evening and now it’s 44 lol wasn’t always this fast
@@Smoomty My Jugg was near lvl 60 when leaving the next planet.
How? What did you do?
@@KingRoony20 I just leveled up normally, with the help of the double xp
You sure that had nothing to do with the fact that not so long ago there was a Double XP boost for all players?
I think guild bonus goes up to 15% xp, from level 50+ guilds.
On leveling, I highly recommended people try to run with dps companions if they are speed running, and put the many medpacs, that drop, on your bar. If you decide to do heroics, try out your companion on dps, or heals without the channeled heal on and see how it feels. (they'll do more dmg)
If you are always higher level than the planet you're on, don't worry too much about the mod slot, but more about the enhancement slot and left side. Mastery power and endurance are capped. But you still get all of your secondary stats including defense.
Do intro to crafting, when you hit the fleet, and talk to every trainer. Do intro to strongholds at level 15. Claim any titles you have unlocked in collections.
Black talon spacebar is great xp until about level 30, it's decent until the 40s iirc.
Makeb is underrated, use the gsi clicky, it will boost you stats if necessary, heal you in combat and boost exploration xp by 250%.
Quicker daily zones are pretty good too, like the black hole and czerka.
Kotfe is great xp from 60-66.(kotfe loses a digit of xp after 66, unless they patched it) (and Onslaught as well 70+) But don't do those if you want to preserve your class story.
Imo a combination of bt and heroics were the fastest way to level pre 6.0, (excluding bug hunt and yavin cheese) Not sure how long heroics take now with the mobs being heftier, might be better to group level through them for speed. (side note reminder, that you don't need a ship to spam heroics, you just need to hit their minimum level, and they usually will appear earlier on the fleet terminal than they will in your control G interface)
Sorry for the book :/
It might be 15% these days! I forgot to re-check it for this year.
Great book of tips you got!
There is a 15% XP bonus a guild can always have applied, but that can be augmented by temporary guild ship-module boosts that Come-and-Go and expire after something like 30-60 days granting additional passive bonus boosts like: +3% XP All Sources, or +5% XP from Ops, Etc. So I think the max passive XP boost from all activities is potentially 18%, and maybe 23% for a specific activity. Absolutely everybody should join a guild. My biggest mistake was waiting until finishing my first character story and starting my 2nd before joining a guild.
I have found the single best _PLAYER ACTIVATED_ Guild Ability for any newish players is *_OMNIFICATION_* which grants the player ALL FOUR CLASS COMBAT BUFFS _(ie: +5% Crit, +5% Health/Endurance, +5% Internal Bleeding/DoT attacks, +5% Whatever-the-other-one-is)._ Like the application of the normal class buff, it lasts 60-minutes, so needs to be re-activated after an hour. The _Jedi War Council_ having _Omnification_ A.T.M. has me so spoiled!!
i would just like to say thank you for your videos! i just started SWTOR this week and they are extremely helpful and have helped me understand the game more and more as well as discover mechanics i probably wouldn't have found on my own. thanks again! ❤
One tip that slipped by was to change your settings to the auto-loot function. Saves you the trouble of manually picking up every individual loot that drops.
One "Double XP" weekend my guildmaster was complaining that we needed more ranged DPS in our ops groups. I offered to make a Gunslinger and when he got to 7 or so, we gathered three max level (65 at the time) characters to run Heroics with him. I didn't use anything off the cartel market, but just running heroics for two days with a max level group got me to 65 on the second day.
I speed run my characters as well and I found unlocking the flashpoints xp boost in the legacy + running hammer station was the most effective way to level up fast. I used to do heroics but trust me, hammer station is the way to go. You can start doing it from level 16 but this isn’t too bad.
Hammer station is still currently the fastest way to get your gear to 340 as well
So, I just watched old video you made and wondered if you would make an updated version. Talk about timing!
Yes there's an extra ten minutes worth of updates in this one haha! I left out so many details there!
1. Do the class story on the capital world, which gives you your ship.
2. Put you credits into the explorer experience boost.
3. Use XP boost items.
4. Then simply access the galaxy map and start visiting higher level planets.
You can easily gain 3-5 levels on planets like Rishi and Yavin by simply speeding around, and revealing the map.
Rishi is only worth exploring early if you have a stealth character, takes too much time to maneuver around enemies otherwise. Yavin is great either way though.
@@tTaseric They were just examples really, Mek-Sha is another good option to explore.
Agreed the mobs of enemies will one hit you on Rishi, but you can reveal the town and some of the other areas for some nice quick leveling up.
Another risky trick you can attempt on Yavin is to be near your factions main camp in the jungle.
Then find the nearest beasts and attack them, and flee back into the camp, and let defenders and turrets kill them for you, while you get the XP for it.
The rested bonus still works, so when you are signing out park your character in a cantina or a stronghold for the rested bonus.
Good tip forgot about that!
So would they level up while you’re away?
@@freakinpfeiff7831 They won't level on their own. Rest XP is a modifer that is placed on your XP gain, so after resting a certain amount of the XP you gain is doubled.
AuthorReborn okay thank you my friend
only for subscribers though
Great video and tips. I did two speed runs recently during the double experience event. I made a video series out of each one. Doing everything on a planet went much quicker at a little over 7 hours from 1-75. In a second run I did only the class stories and that took a little over 10 hours from 1-75. I might try again during the next double experience event, I think I can get it below 7 hours.
Ive been playing since 2012 and am a very experienced player and yet i still watch all these videos 😂😂
haha! :)
My own little guide: 1.: get a guild on the starterplanet, press U to travel to their flagship, retrieve about 1mil credits from your legacy bay to unlock all the important leveling perks like exploration boost. Make sure to have about 3 major exp boosts on you, either by getting them off gtn, guild bank or from the datacube missions on nar shaddaa. On fleet in general chat ask to be invited to someones rishi sh ( ns sh first if u need the exp boosts from datacube missions) and then let them kick you. Now explore the full map of rishi which will get you above level 20 withing 20 min. From here level with flashpoints to level 60 (50 and from there heroics is a bit faster esp with a group). Once lvl 60 play chapter 1 of Kotfe till 66 then do kotet chapters till 70. After that speedrun ossus in about 20mins and do the story missions on onderon. Gz youre done. This will take approx 12-24 hrs depending on how experienced you are, but with double exp around the corner you can level 1-3/4 chars a day if you really want to push it. Enjoy
I have two ideas that would make this game greater.
1st. We should be able to use your extra characters as a companion. It would be awesome to venture the galaxy with my Sith Warrior and Sith Sorcerer teaming together.
2nd. All characters should be interactive in your ship and homebase. And when you interact with them, they give you intel on your current quest.
Payed the game on and off since beta but never really got ‘into’ it. Started again and doing all purple quests along all the planets in the sequence.
Having a blast. No idea what I’m doing, but it’s fun.
Thanks for the vid also. Making me want to keep playing it 😊
Cheers! Glad you're having fun.
"Sometimes you just want to level up fast", puts this 14 minute video on 1.75 playback speed
What the heck??!! I started using the shown speeder like yesterday, what are the odds! :D
LOL very neat
Great video - I would also suggest, if you have already run them, skipping the planet story and just sticking to the character storyline. Also heroic or (H2) quests can be a quick way of getting xp. If you can get a like minded player to join you for any of your questing this will cut the time taken as you will fly through neccessary kills even faster. Also, getting onto the next planet as fast as possible is advised as the xp available will exceed that available from earlier planets. Finally, if you are familiar with the game "death porting" is always a fun way of getting around - this is where you kill yourself to end up back at a respawn point which will leave you nearer to your next quest giver.
“Clone travel” we called it in SWG
I speedran the class story for 4 of the classes while I was waiting for Onslaught to release, honestly it isn't super difficult to stay a high enough level to keep up with the story if you're subscribed and do one or two side quests per planet, I finished the stories at around level 46-49 on each of the characters, although stacking boosters would definitely help if you're not subscribed.
How long did it take you?
I love the video but can you do a video about all the valuable legacy perks that you can unlock? This was very useful! As a returning player, I didn't know about these little known perks. Ex the legacy bank and rocket boot!
I should there's a ton of new ones since I last covered it.
The quickest way i've been able to level up as a subscriber is playing flashpoints constantly lots of XP and being boosted to level 70 is an added bonus giving low level chars the chance to deal damage
Thank you for your helpful videos! I just returned after leaving the game 8 years ago and with all the changes and expansion packs since I'm totally lost and confused LOL
welcome back!
I've started playing SWTOR again since last week :) Love it so far!
welcome to the game!
6:12 For HK-51, I've noticed that if you claim it from Legacy, you only get one sniper rifle with the purple cristal, while if you do the complete quest, you get 2 sniper rifle with the purple cristal (+36 crit). So if you like purple cristals, you might want to do the quest line. I know you can get purple cristal from the Championship vendors on Zakuul (+41), and sometimes on the GTN, but for Free to Play who can't use artifact quality cristals, this is the best they can get. Of course, if you unluck HK-51 from a ranged character for which you don't mind the cristal, you may transfer the cristal to a dual saber caracter through a legacy item.
Ive been off and on player since the beginning but after returning a couple months ago I actually paid attention to the legacy unlocks, so glad I picked up the jump boost and quick travel reductions, I havent't done the mount while moving one yet so I guess thats next. Despite how much Ive played I still feel very noob but also joined a pretty well done guild has made it enjoyable. Also done a lot of quick lvling through running Flashpoints often
You can hit max level in two days top. Finish first three planets and gather a crap ton of XP boosts, once you have like 5-6 of them start doing Heroics, that's pretty much it if you're looking for a max level toon with no titles or whatever, otherwise you'll be ready to hit the new expansion in no time.
One day if there's an exp event, like the one coming in few days 25th if I'm correct - you can do it in a matter of hours, just find a mobs farming group. Imp side is on Balmorra, and the Rep I think Alderaan.
"space bar to victory" - i laughed so hard :D
Great informative video!! I have just recently started SWTOR and this is sure to help. Thanks
At launch I remember the ship missions being the fastest way but recently my guild was down a healer as they quit the game so I changed back to healer but didn't have a con as I hate that class story. A group of 4 of us started at level 1 and basically just the class stories till we got our ships then did heroics and the xp was insane.
There are also the intermittent double-xp weeks, which when combined with the xp boost items can get you from 1-75 in a matter of hours, especially if you join a Balmoran Bug Hunt or Nar Shadaa Imperial Raid op.
Swtorista.Very nice and useful video . My opinion as one of the first players involved in this game (since beta) is: fast leveling makes very bad favore for new players.Why I do think so is a matter of long explanation. However there are lots of people who prefers fast leveling, hence I find this is good guide for them.
Yeah, I think I'll stick to the slow leveling so things don't get too easy. Maybe next playthrough though
Get level 15+ Spend credits on Legacy which gives you 6% more XP on killing mobs and can be stacked if upgraded max+ Sub+ use 1 or 3-hour XP boost+Join a guild that has xp boosts+ play Hammer Station Veteran Flashpoint.
This video was very helpful now i can finally get back into swtor without trudging through leveling.
definitely useful for that! double xp is on now too.
Again another great video, thanks for your time.
I love the Balmorra music in the background! Best music in game.
personally i hate it because it’s so annoying and gets stuck in my head
For me, it has been basically "run story until you get your ship, after that - do whatever". I used to love leveling up with Flashpoints, but that was from back in the days when the level cap was 60.
Nowadays it's just main story to get all the companions and by the time I reach Belsavis, I'm at the cap and I go do something else ... Like roll another Sniper or Operative, coz damn if the Imperial Agent story ain't the best there ever was ! :D
that sweet, sweet voice...And of course, next week is the Bonus XP Event! Run heroics all day!!
Briansgate I’ve been preparing so many characters for bonus XP I have a miraluka assassin and a twilek PT ready
I usually add running space missions after your 2nd planet.
I usually leave Coruscant at level 24-28. From gearing up on the Fleet station, I launch and take mission in space. These are good for ~3 levels by time I get maxed & can’t fly missions for a week, lol.
@Swtorista Thank you for still puttin out videos on this Game. Partly thx to you i restarted the game again. So
Great vid Swtorista, definitely love the rocket boost.
A very useful guide and very well presented, thanks a lot! :)
Thank you so much! Sith Inquisitor and Jedi Consular takes a long time to level up them
Get your stealth on as a shadow/assassin haha!
Swtorista I haven’t tried the shadow and the assassin but their animation is really cool so I will try them out.
I just found a niche of the niche to consider when leveling. With Onslaught, there are amplifiers that appear on gear. Some of them increase experience point gains from completing certain tasks (missions, PvP, Flashpoints, etc). While these have no real effect when doing story quests, as the higher stats will always be better, in a scenario where you are scaled, like a flashpoint, those amplifiers can help give just that liiiiiiiiittle bit more experience here and there.
actually I have an off topic question. If you decine a group invite or guild invite, the message they get is a nice one, right? I always feel bad when I refuse invites.
Thanks for making this video and this was helpful
cheers!
Just bought a new Alienware Laptop after watching some of these Swtor vids.
Can’t wait to get back on my Sith Lord and level to 75!!!
I always do first 2 planets for ship then do couple heroics till lvl 30 then you farm warzones til 38 then go hammer station till 75
Spammer Station*
@Swtorista it's so nice to hear your lovely voice again. Now I'm preferred since no new expansions had been released yet. Besides I've started as F2P way back in 2012 and during my return in 2015 :) I still miss the old UI system it had before KotFE
Be safe and be such a sweet girl you always are ;)
Im not really looking to lvl up fast but this vid did tell me a few things to do like find a guild and get a ship,im a bounty hunter lvl26 and i dont know where to get a ship but this vid did give me some info ty for thet
You should get your ship at the end of your class story on Drommond Kaas.
Yep you get it naturally through your story :)
This video has helped me a lot in finding out things I had no clue about
cheers!
Swtorista do you know if the new update has had an effect on levelling up I restarted the game yesterday and my character had a big problem leveling up I got to the last mission on koraban and my character was on level 7 as opposed to 11 which is what they usually are
Well ich leveled 5 Characters to lvl 50 and to the end of there class storys in the last 3 weeks to finally get all 8 done.
I saw that the fastest way to level a character is to as you said just do the purple quests or sometimes even just the class quests, depending on your lvl and if you would die if you would just rush further. 3 hour XP-Boosts are granted after completing a class quest so these aren't really a problem to think about and as you said the quick travel maxed out is a life saver xD
I really lean on heroic missions on my alts. They might seem slow on some planets, but they give decent XP and give my character a big influx of credits from the rewards, which i can use to buy legacy unlocks.
Heroics are a great option if you can do them quickly plus they give the credits.
Thanks for this guide! Very useful!
cheers!
Another awesome video from Swtorista!
Thanks for all your information. Do you have a video on raising your legacy level quicker by chance?
Your legacy level is based on your XP you earn - so gaining XP fast will gain you legacy xp fast.
What armor are you wearing at 6:49? Also I read something about a double exp event starting here in April, do you know when that's happening?
Also in the beginning of each class you could not start the story and just Kill enemies till like, level 10 then when the story ACTUALLY starts..... You're a Little OP.
( i've not watched the whole vid, sorry still love the channel and the vids.)
Just thought about the title and was thinking of MY way I leveled up.
Haha!! That's one way to do it!
Fastest way of lvling was running WZs in my time, if u are paying player and intrested in pvp at least... just do your start planet and as soon as u hit the fleet jump into gf for low-lvl WZs
When was the last time Nico Okarr, Shae visla and Master Ranos available? I missed them and was wondering. I hope they become available again
They were only available during a short window a single time. No idea about future rewards.
Yeah, same here. Shame, Shae Vizla wouldve been AWESOME!
They may be given out as rewards for subscribing within a time frame again in the future.
I know I missed Nico the first time around but got it within the last two years since Ive subbed again starting in late 2017. Its probably going to be rare but keep an eye out on the swtor website for announcements.
Hard to say when they might do that for him again though. I know I have seen a lot of complaints from players about how it was stupid that those that already had him the first time didnt get anything for subbing.
Something on that line :/
I usually do as many quests as I can on the starting planets and slowly start ignoring the side quests the further I get into the story.
The "fast" answer: Play. With Conquest exp. points for everything you do, it's ridiculous how quickly you level up now. It doesn't even matter what equipment you have, because you're always too high a level for the planet you're questing on, and your equipment/health etc. are auto-nerfed. In my experience, I have lower health and weaker equipment than someone playing at the correct level does (when you can find someone who isn't playing at a reduced level) and it's still usually not challenging. But it's fun for now, so I'll keep going. (It's just that I don't care about end-game content at all, and would rather enjoy the leveling experience.)
There is a dirty trick with the Yavin SH (or any high lvl SH). Gotta get invited, then get kicked. It should spawn you outside the SH, so on Yavin 4. About 20 lvls in half an hour just by exploration. Gotta have the money for the basic taxi service.
What does SH stand for?
Yes I am expecting that at some point this will be "fixed' so I didn't include it in the video, but it's in the text version. Friend has a whole guide about how to do Rishi efficiently and fully.
StrongHold (player housing)
At what level would you attempt this?
fast traveling between planets is counterproductive when doing only story quests, you still have to be on ship to start the new planet main quest, therefore I use legacy perk personal ship teleport :)
The space bar is my go to just have to remember to not do it while streaming
Hiya again swtorista
been awhile since ive left a comment on your video
do to some complications i havent been able to play SWTOR
lately only mange to complete sith warrior :/ . but ill be fine
just wanted to say thanks for uploading these videos still enjoy
seeing videos about swtor. have you ever thought about making a let's play of a character or anything like that?
cheers Nya :)
I have a lets play but i had to stop that series due to work.
I was thinking of trying to level bounty hunter in Hutta from start aka lvl 1 with assault cannon, only starter missions at first, then simply blasting low level NPCs nearby and stuff.. I want to find, if there isn't any leveling cap on Hutta missions. Crazy idea in itself ! ? Nice videos. WBR.
I reached 60 before even finishing the class story. And with those xp boosts that they hand out like candy, shouldn’t be a problem :D
God I remember the original days of this game. Was a good 2 year period of my life for 12 hours a day.
How about completing the bonus missions?
They give some juicy XP. Espacialy those with 3 Parts.
Ya I’ve been doing speed leveling up with my Jedi consular class and I will be doing it on my Jedi Knight class too. I just need to do it only the other classes I haven’t completed the story class too. I can’t wait to become legendary status
Me too I'm working on the classes I'm missing!
Nice👌🏼 I watch this video and it jogged something’s I forgot about but now I remember about the legacy perks stuff you can unlock with credits and such
Great tips. I learned stuff I didn't know about. :)
cheers!
Thanks for all the tips. But the most difficult thing about playing as F2P is the lack of weapons, as most of the better weapons need the certificate to wield. It could be bought in the market, but the price is always higher than the 1mil that none-subscribers are allowed to have.
Thank you Swtorista!
cheers!
If your just playing the story for fun you don't even need to worry about leveling anymore. The planet caps and nerfs make you level up so fast now you could just play through normally and still be maxed out by the end of 3rd chapter of each story
Hello i like very much your channel i whatched a long time but this is the first time i comment
There is any possibility off this game come to ps4 ? Because me and my friends and more than 500k people want this game on ps4 because is so great and do you have heard if this game come to ps4 or not ?
@AL D but they make DC universe that have the same amount off buttons, eso, star trek and many other games there is a looooot off console players that will like this game and controls are not an escuse for not make an game
What I do is I have level and on the starting Planet I start doing Starfighter immediately. I continue to do Starfighter and class missions accordingly. You Can level fairly quickly to 50 within a couple of days. Once you're round 50 start doing dailies and between 30 and 50 flashpoints and then once you hit 50 start doing your dailies. Rinse and repeat it would take about 3 1/2 total days to get to level 75 that's been my experience
Good tips! Starfighter is a great way since you can start at level 1.
The shae vizla unlock is great!!
I have almost all of the Legacy perks unlocked, but there are some I don't have (such as portable trainer) because the Legacy menu stopped working for me last year. Accessing it the normal way freezes the game.
The Help desk was no help. It's the only part of the game that doesn't work for me so I've just been doing without it.
Oh how strange, I wonder why.
