Odessen Mysterious Observers Guide

July 17, 2019July 17, 2019 - by Xam Xam - Leave a Comment

Here’s my overview of how to find the Mysterious Observers and what happens after… Note: You must have completed the ‘Hearts and Minds’ Mission to be able to see the Observers even if you have Macrobinoculars. To find the Mysterious Observers hinted in the Patch Notes, go to Odessen to the Alliance Landing Area and use your Macrobinoculars. When you click on the Unknown Camp, you will get a cutscene showing the camp. Once the cutscene completes, you will get a Mission ‘Mysterious Observers’. This mission instructs you to go to a higher vantage point. Go to the higher vantage …

Review – Peacetime Dantooine is Lacking but Worth a Visit

June 29, 2019June 29, 2019 - by Xam Xam - Leave a Comment

It is nice to be able to explore Dantooine and enjoy the scenery with the reduced chance of running into mobs. However, ‘Peacetime’ Dantooine leaves little else to be desired. You can either sit around for hours at a time waiting for food or mission items to respawn or spend 5 minutes doing lacklustre dailies. So let’s take a look at what there is to do. Dailies There are a couple of dailies you can do (different for each faction). However, there are no meaningful rewards for doing them. And, much like Rishi (ahem), there is no weekly to go …

Dantooine – While You’re Out There Mission Guide

June 19, 2019June 23, 2019 - by Xam Xam

There is a one-off mission found on Dantooine in its peacetime state on a Terminal inside one of the dwellings in the centre of the map (near the Republic Comms Centre). Once you click on it, you have to find five items scattered around Dantooine. Here are there locations. All these items are always found in the same spot but have a fairly long respawn time on them, sadly (no seriously the respawn times are ridiculous). When they’re highlighted blue and clickable, then you’re good to go! Protocol Droid Remnant Found Coordinates: 299,1131 Lightsaber Stash Found Coordinates: -47,527 Archaeological Notes …

You’ve probably discovered the Dantooine Cipher Achievement by now. But, there are more Ciphers to be found on other planets! Ciphers can also be found on Ossus and Rishi. They are hidden Achievements only discovered if you find a Tome. What does getting all these achievements–achieve? Nothing so far. But it sounds like there’s more to these achievements the meets the eye. Only time will tell. The location of the Tomes may vary but you should be able to find each one within the general vicinity of the screenshots/map references below. I’ve included the Dantooine Cipher as well for those …

The Reputation Vendors for each respective faction can be found at each factions base. Rewards are identical on both. The vast majority of items are bought with a Pirate Incursion exclusive event currency, “Dantooine Surveyors Notes” (DSNs). Unfortunately, this currency is bound to character.
