Allakhazam.com: Star Wars Galaxies

And I need your help clearing
up all the little details, so please, start those PM's coming, over the
next two weeks I will be finalising the Guide, and I want to clear up
as many areas as I can.

Also, please note, THIS IS NOT A Q&A OR A BUG REPORTING THREAD.
I am sorry, but I cannot help you with these, especially the bugs,
however, I will either create or PM Garva and request an official Bug
Thread.

This Guide is here to answer
questions and provide guidance on how to progress from complete
non-force sensitive to Jedi Padawan. It will likely require numerous
revisions, but I'll try to do the best I can, if you spot something
wrong, please PM me. Keep in mind this is NOT a guide through each of
the Village Quests, I will be doing them all, and if the feedback to
this guide is positive, I will look to do more in the future based on
the Quests.

From 'normal' to 'glowing'.

This is the easiest part of the
entire Jedi grind, simply collecting badges and completing themeparks
and missions. Even a casual player should complete this in a week.
There are various levels of force sensitivity, which can be checked
using the /che command:

1 You feel no connection with the Force.
2 You barely notice something different about yourself.
3 You feel a faint sense of the Force.
4 You have a strong sense of the Force within you.
5 You feel the Force surge within you.
6 You feel an inner glow. The Force is with you.

Once you are 'glowing' with the Force, you are ready for the next stage, the Old Man.

See this Guide for a detailed explanation of the Badges required to get the inner glow of the Force:

Guide to Glowing v1.6

The Old Man

Once you are 'glowing' with the
Force, you should receive a visit from the Old Man, typically within
72hrs. The Old Man has been reported in many locations, both inside and
outside player cities. He spawns randomly, however, it does seem that
there are various things that you can do to hurry the Old Man to you.
They are:

Travel by shuttle to another location, and wait a few minutes

Walk approximately 1000m outside of any player or NPC city limit

Enter combat whilst 1000m outside of a player city

Log in and out

The best method is often a combination. Shuttle to a city, walk
1000m outside of the city, linger a few moments, log out, wait ten
minutes, log in, walk back, shuttle to another city, repeat. Eventually
the Old Man will visit you, and ask if you have ever considered the
possibility that you are Force Sensitive. If you say yes, he will offer
you a crystal to protect, which acts as a log on your journey to Jedi.
Once your conversation with the Old Man is complete, he despawns, and
you are ready for the next stage.

The Sith

The Sith come in two parts. The first
is a random spawn that operates in much the same way as the old man.
They will appear and attack within 72hrs, you can use the same
techniques listed above for causing an faster spawn, such as shuttling
to another city etc. When they appear, they are very easily defeated,
and you should loot them. There is a fair chance that they will have a
datapad to use containing information regarding their basecamp, and a
WP to it is added to your datapad.

[NB: If you do not loot the datapad,
more Sith will attack at a later time, so don't worry, further chances
to loot camp location datapads]

Once you have the Sith Camp WP, travel
there. The Sith Camp has 3-4 NPC's, again, very easily defeated, and
once more, a datapad with the Dathomire Village location, and a single
unit of some mineral. Keep the mineral, and use the datapad to obtain
the location for the Dathomire Village.

With the new WP for the Village, travel there.

The Village of Aurilia, and planning and training your Force Skills

The Village is located on Dathomire,
5000m South East of the Science Outpost. Once you are there, things
start to get a little more complex, so pay attention.

The Village Quests simply allow you to unlock a branch and devote Force XP into the unlocked branch. There are four total skill trees: Combat Prowess, Crafting Mastery, Enhanced Reflexes and Heightened Senses. Each of these trees has four branches, so sixteen branches in total.

You must master SIX of the possible sixteen branches.

The trees and branches are as follows [Bonuses are in brackets]:

Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy [+12 ranged acc]

Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed [+12 ranged speed]

Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy [+12 melee acc]

Combat Prowess: Melee Speed [+12 melee speed]

Crafting Mastery: Experimentation [+20 experimentation*]

Crafting Mastery: Repair [+20 repair]

Crafting Mastery: Assembly [+20 assembly]
Crafting Mastery: Technique [+4 technique]

*NB: This does NOT give 2 extra
points during experimentation phase, just a higher chance of amazing
success, and will probably work out better than a cities Research
specialisation. City specialisation is an either or, it does not stack
with this force skill, and the force skill will give better result than
city specialisation.

Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defence [+20 ranged defence]
Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defence [+20 melee defence]
Enhanced Reflexes: Vehicular Control [+20 vehicular control, +3 acceleration]
Enhanced Reflexes: Survival [+5 to: Camping, Foraging, Mask Scent, Creature Harvesting, Creature Knowledge, Trapping, Terrain Negotiation]

Heightened Senses: Healing [+20 to: Injury Treatment Speed, Wound Healing (Dancing), Wound Healing (Music)]
Heightened Senses: Surveying [+20 surveying]
Heightened Senses: Persuasion [+20 persuasion]
Heightened Senses: Luck [+4 luck]

The branches unlock four per village
cycle, and there are four cycles. What you can unlock is set though,
so, if you have free unlocks, ideally you want to unlock the skills you
want that are normally unlocked in a later cycle.

Here are all the Phases and what can be unlocked in each Phase:

Village Phase 1: Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy
Village Phase 1: Enhanced Reflexes: Survival
Village Phase 1: Heightened Senses: Persuasion
Village Phase 1: Crafting Mastery: Assembly

Village Phase 2: Combat Prowess: Melee Speed
Village Phase 2: Enhanced Reflexes: Vehicular Control
Village Phase 2: Heightened Senses: Survey Tree
Village Phase 2: Crafting Mastery: Crafting Techniques

Village Phase 3: Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy
Village Phase 3: Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defense
Village Phase 3: Heightened Senses: Luck
Village Phase 3: Crafting Mastery: Experimentation

Village Phase 4: Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed
Village Phase 4: Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defense
Village Phase 4: Heightened Senses: Healing
Village Phase 4: Crafting Mastery: Repair

Of these, you must pick six. For those who have free unlocks, the next part is important:

Imagine you want Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy, Melee Speed, Melee Accuracy, Ranged Speed, Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defence, Melee Defence.

You must bear in mind that YOU CAN ONLY DO ONE QUEST PER PHASE!

With this in mind, plan out what comes first in the list. For the above skills selected, my template is kinda like this:

Village Phase 1: Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy
Village Phase 2: Combat Prowess: Melee Speed
Village Phase 3: Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy
Village Phase 3: Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defense
Village Phase 4: Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defense
Village Phase 4: Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed

Now, you can see here that I have
two in Phase 3, and two in Phase 4. If I had no unlocks, I would have
pick one of the Phase 3 skills and one of the Phase 4 skills to unlock
through the quests, and then wait a FULL CYCLE before I could do the
second skill in Phase 3, and then the second in Phase 4, delaying my
Jedi Initiate by up to 12 weeks.

I would have to train in this order:

Week 1: Village Phase 1: Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy
Week 4: Village Phase 2: Combat Prowess: Melee Speed
Week 7: Village Phase 3: Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy
Week 10: Village Phase 4: Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defense
Week 13: Village Phase 1: Nothing I desire available
Week 16: Village Phase 2: Nothing I desire available
Week 19: Village Phase 3: Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defense
Week 22: Village Phase 4: Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed

However, if you are
clever, you can use your free unlocks to reduce your waiting time.
Imagine I have two free unlocks. First unlock would go on the last
skill you would train, Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed, and the second unlock would be used for Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defense.
This immediately means that the last skill you need to unlock by
waiting for the normal village cycle and performing the relevant quest
would be:

Week 10: Village Phase 4: Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defense

Now I am finished on week 10,
instead of week 22, all by careful planning of what skills I need, and
what order to use my free unlocks.

To get a free unlock, you must talk to Paemos,
who offers any free unlocks you might have. He will unlock the branch
of your choice, and allocate enough xp to master that branch. Training
is provided by Noldan.

Remember: Unlock ONE free branch at a time, train it, then return for another free branch.

Once you have attained your free
unlocks, it's time to do the quests relevant to the other branches you
want to do as part of the six required to move on to Jedi Initiate.
Personally, I would do all of the quests, as there are some cool
rewards.

Quests and XP Conversion

Each NPC offers a different Quest in
each Phase. One NPC will offer Quests to unlock Combat Prowess skills,
another would offer Crafting Mastery, and so on. They will offer
different Quests in each Phase.

Here are the Quests listed with their Phases, and their rewards:

Phase: Force Skill Tree: Specific Branch Unlocked: Quest Name: Reward

Phase 1: Combat Prowess: Ranged Accuracy: Angry Villagers: 10 Patrols unlocks, 20 obtains the Aurilian Banner
Phase 1: Enhanced Reflexes: Survival: Distraught Villagers: Aurilian Sculpure Part 3 of 4
Phase 1: Heightened Senses: Persuasion: Aid Station: 5 Villagers unlocks, 10 for +5 CM Exp necklace, 15 for House Plant
Phase 1: Crafting Mastery: Assembly: Clean Up Crew: Aurilian Sculpure Part 4 of 4

Phase 2: Combat Prowess: Melee Speed: Raiding party: Durable Lathe [300 use melee p'up with +30 speed]
Phase 2: Enhanced Reflexes: Vehicular Control: Quarter Master: Focus crystal, +2000 health for 2hrs, once every 3 days
Phase 2: Heightened Senses: Survey Tree: Construction Forman: Organic Survey Tool
Phase 2: Crafting Mastery: Crafting Techniques: Puzzled Engineer: Not Known

Phase 3: Combat Prowess: Melee Accuracy: Armed Group: Power Crystal, if grouped, a +900 mind crystal, useable every 96hrs
Phase 3: Enhanced Reflexes: Ranged Defense: Raiding Party: Item with limited uses, adds +10 to ranged defence
Phase 3: Heightened Senses: Luck: Construction Forman: Not Know
Phase 3: Crafting Mastery: Experimentation: Engineer: Not Known

Phase 4: Combat Prowess: Ranged Speed: Village Elder: Aurilian Sculpure Part 1 of 4
Phase 4: Enhanced Reflexes: Melee Defense: Village Elder: Not Known
Phase 4: Heightened Senses: Healing: Fenzied Doctor: Not Known
Phase 4: Crafting Mastery: Repair: Chief Engineer: Aurilian Sculpure Part 2 of 4

The following NPC's and their quest types:

Captain Sarguillo: Combat Prowess

Whip: Enhanced Reflexes

Silvarra: Heightened Senses

Quharek: Crafting Mastery

Alpoka: Heightened Senses

Once a branch is unlocked, you must
grind experience (any type) and talk to Paemos, who will convert the
normal xp into force xp. There are limitations on what kind of normal
xp can be used in what tree. For instance, unarmed, combat or rifles xp
is only suitable for the Combat Mastery and Enhanced reflexes. Merchant
and crafting xp is suitable for Crafting Mastery, and so on.

The conversion ratio is often steep,
you will have to grind hard in order to earn enough experience to fill
each branch. This will be no walk in the park. Here are the ratio's:

Combat & Reflex xp

Weapons (any type) xp 30:1
Combat xp 3:1
Squad Leader xp 90:1

Bounty Hunter Investigation xp 5:1

Sense xp

Image Design xp 15:1
Dancing xp 10:1
Musician xp 10:1
Entertainer Healing xp 10:1
Survival xp 5:1
Scout xp 8:1
Trapping xp 15:1
Medical xp 10:1
Surveying xp 5:1

Merchant xp 4:1

Creature Handling xp 9:1

Slicing xp 3:1

DNA Sampling xp 3:1

Crafting xp

General Crafting xp 8:1
Architect xp 35:1

All other crafting 5:1

The easiest method would probably be to pick your six branches from the Combat Prowess and Enhanced Reflexes
trees, as with an elite melee profession, you should be able to grind
xp very fast. Once you max out your xp, travel to the village, and talk
to Paemos to have the xp converted to force xp. Then it's back to the
grind for more xp, until you max, return to the Village and Paemos,
convert the xp, rinse and repeat, until you have enough force xp to
master a new box, and then you talk to Noldan, for training.

If there are no branches unlocked for
you to train in, you are perhaps waiting for a later stage, simply
grind xp anyway, and convert it, until your force xp is maxed out, and
then max out your other normal xp too, so that when you unlock another
branch, you have plenty of xp to devote to the new branch, speeding up
your grinding process.

No Force-Sesitive xp cap has been
discovered as yet, but it is safe to assume that like most other xp's,
it is twice the current highest skill box.

Once you have unlocked six branches, and converted enough xp to master those branches, you will be eligible for the Jedi Padawan Trials.

Jedi Initiate

When you have mastered six branches
of the Force Sensitive trees, you will again be visited by the Old Man.
He will give you a datapad that contains the location of an NPC
named Mellichae. You must find and kill him to start your quest for Jedi Padawan.

This ain't too easy, although if you
are a double melee elite master with some medic, you might solo it.
Otherwise bring friends. Here is the low down on what you will be
facing:

Mellichae:
55k HAM, 80% resist to everything except Lightsabers. Is surrounded by
four force crystals of some sort that you must destroy, as he uses them
to heal himself and is virtually unkillable until the force crystals
are gone. Armed with a Lightsaber, Force Choke, and Force Lightening.

Daxter: 25k HAM, 80% resists to everything except Lightsabers.

Sith: A bunch of Sith NPC's, roughly eight, not to difficult to dispatch.

You must first destroy the four
force crystals, each has approximately 40k HAM. Take out the Sith and
Daxter where possible, and finally, kill Mellichae. Upon completion,
you can begin your grind towards Padawan.

Padawan Trials

This is the best info I can find from various threads, I
don't know many people at this point, but a guild member is about to
undergo them in a few days, so I will update with better info as and
when I get it from him.

Some small points:

Avoid missions on Rori, apparently they are bugged.

You may need good Gungan faction for one of the missions.

For the Chef mission, you do not need high Cobral Faction, simply refuse to help him get revenge.

And, the Trials:

Architect Trial: A jedi must
gather all possible information before making his decision. You will be
given a waypoint. Travel there, and speak to two disputing parties. As
far as I can tell, speak to everyone involved, then your decision
should be that the Gungan can keep his land.

Artist Trial: A Jedi must
understand the motivations and desires of others without becoming
emotianlly involved. Again, you are given a waypoint to travel to.
Speak to the Artist, Sathme, and her assistant. The winning decision is
to return the supplies to the artist, and tell her that her assistant
will not be coming back.

Bad Cat Trial: A Jedi must do
everything possible to keep innocent civilians from being in danger.
Another waypoint, leading you to actor Yvana Bailer, who asks for help
ending the rampage of an escaped cat. Kill the wild cat to complete the
trial.

Chef Trial: A Jedi must be
willing to put himself in danger in order to do what is right. A
waypoint leads to a Chef who wants you to find out who is stealing his
goods. I would imagine that you would hunt down the people stealing,
however, since it is possible to cheat on this Trial, by telling him
you won't help [this completes the trial for you], I cannot find any accurate information. Will update later.

Old Musician Trial: A Jedi
must always display respect and dignity when interacting with others.
Travel to the waypoint, speak with Grizzlo, the old musician. He wants
you to find the members of his band. Travel first to Eisley, then to
Lok, speak to the NPC's at the wp's, and finally return to Grizzlo with
the ring you attain.

Pannaqa Trial: A Jedi should
always be willing to lend a helping hand whenever possible. Travel to
the waypoint, speak with the Farmer, Pannaqa, who needs help obtaining
parts for his vibro-tiller. Speak to the first NPC, and then move on to
the second NPC, who it appears you must tell you don't trust, and that
you will do it for him... you are given a vibro tiller to return to the
farmer, completing the trial.

People's Soldier Trial: A
Jedi must put aside personal feelings when aiding someone they might
not find appealing. Travel to the waypoint, speak to Torin Gundo, who
gives you a mission to kill a thug. Kill the thug to complete the Trial.

Sob Story Trial: A Jedi
should remain calm in the face of emotion. Travel to the waypoint, and
speak to Erim Thelcar. She asks that you find her brother, or his
remains, and return the blaster that was a family heirloom. I think
that there is another waypoint, where you find his remains, and loot
the blaster, which can be returned to Erim to complete the Trial.

Spice Mom Trial: A Jedi
should always strive for understanding rather than blind faith. Travel
to the waypoint, speak with Sola Nosconda, who will ask you to pick up
some items. Speak with the Spice dealer, obtain the spices, return
to Sola. You must get her to threaten you before you hand over the
spices. If you do that, the Trial will be successful.

Surveyor Trial: A Jedi should
be prepared to undertake that which others will not. Follow the
waypoints to Par Doiae, who wants you to kill a Sharnaff bull that is
terrorising a site he wants to build on. Kill the bull to complete the
trial.

Politician Trial: A Jedi
should be equally a public servant and a public defender. Travel to the
waypoint to speak with Kaul Dysen, who wants help killing a Bloodseeker
Mite that is terrorising the local populace. Find and kill it to
complete the Trial.

The Ring Trial: A Jedi must
recognize chaos but not become a part of it. Follow the waypoints to
Keicho, who has had his wife's mothers wedding ring stolen and wants it
back. Find the thug that stole it, converse with him and choose to
fight, then return the ring to Keicho to complete the Trial.

The Baz Nitch Trial: A Jedi
must be an able and courageous warrior. Follow the waypoints to Menchi,
who asks that you kill 20 Baz Nitch's. Kill twenty to complete the
Trial. They are found on Dathomir.

The Sludge Panther Trial: A
Jedi must do whatever is possible to protect the natural order of the
universe. Follow the waypoints, speak to Luha, who asks you to kill 20
sludge panthers. Kill 20 to complete the Trial. The can be found near
Dearic, or the Lost City of Durbin.

The Falumpaset Panther Trial: A
Jedi must understand that there are times when a greater good outweighs
a lesser evil. Follow the waypoints, speak to Braganta, who asks you to
kill 20 falumpasets. Kill 20 to complete the Trial. Gungan sacred place
or missions to complete.

Craft Lightsaber Trial:
Thanks to your progress thus far, you have been granted the rank of
Jedi Initiate. With this honor comes the ability to craft your first
lightsaber. Such is your next task... to craft yourself a lightsaber.
Craft one to complete the Trial, this is the final Trial, and once
complete, you are a Jedi Padawan. You will need a single force crystal
to tune to complete this Trial.

Ending the Guide here for now, until I can review it and add to it at a later date.
