The Golden Dupe – How to lose 150 Million Credits in The Old Republic

- by Xam Xam - Leave a Comment

Now here’s a story about how my character got a ‘golden glow’ in Star Wars The Old Republic. Shiny, right? It all started when I went to check out the Reputation Vendor on Dantooine after the 5.10.3 PTS was patched. Among an assortment of new additions to the vendor, I found this curious item, ‘Yarvok’s Gratitude’, which gave little away as to its purpose (or so I thought). Not being able to find the achievement, to get the item, listed among the other Dantooine Achievements (it’s hardly the only hidden achievement on Dantooine), I proceeded to test the dailies…Again… Then …

- by Xam Xam

Written by Lorhin, Edited by Xam Xam. Healers heal. Obviously. Everyone knows that. I could just end the guide here, but you didn’t come to read my guide just to see me tell you what the healer’s job is in a one word summary.
