It features a unique method of increasing reputation. In this guide, I cover everything you need to know about the Shadow Syndicate Reputation track in SWTOR.


Overview

The Shadow Syndicate is run by Fen Zeil, the new Galactic Seasons 2 Companion. You are introduced to the Shadow Syndicate when you do their introductory mission.

Unlike other reputation tracks in the game, the Shadow Syndicate Track is hidden by default. To unlock it, you have to turn in Underworld Syndicate Plans.

Underworld Syndicate Plans are a new Currency that can drop from any mob in the game. They do however have a higher chance to drop from underworld mobs such as Exchange, Hutt and Black Sun aligned enemies. You can find these enemies on Coruscant, Nar Shaddaa, Tatooine and Quesh. This currency is bind on legacy.

You use this currency to increase your reputation with the Shadow Syndicate.

Reputation Rewards

The only known rewards associated with this reputation track are the Legacy Titles.

Legacy Title Rank
Shadow Initiate Newcomer
Master of Shadows Hero
The Shadow’s Veil Legend

A reputation vendor was not found on the PTS even by a player who got Legend Rank, sadly. Whether Bioware will add one on live servers remains to be seen.


Lore: Who are the Shadow Syndicate?

The Shadow Syndicate are an underworld organisation that has existed for a while but fell on hard times. Now led by Fen Zeil, they are trying to rebuild with the help of powerful allies.

Here is a current description of the organisation from the official SWTOR website.

Once a prominent organization on Nar Shaddaa, tensions between the Shadow Syndicate and the Exchange, as well as unchecked infighting, led to their downfall. Fen, who has a long history in the underworld scene, has established himself as the new figurehead and is looking to bring about a new Shadow of the Underworld–with your help.
