SWTOR

I was doing first boss Story Blood Hunt and then resetting for 5 runs/hour then working on something else in the meantime. Literally 2-3 minute a run since it gives you the uber droid to tank/heal and has a decent emperor chip chance too.

i283 and just got a double i286 epic relic + implant drop from it.

Are there forum guilds one either server? Just to see green chat. Haven’t touched this in about 7 years.

I assume because of conquest that larger more structured guilds are preferred for the bonuses. As to which those are i have no idea, there doesn't seem to be a website that tracks conquest results any more.

L > Guild Invasions shows the top 10 for each planet at least. I saw #2 for a planet recruiting on imp side so i hopped in that.

Yay new week, stupid reputation cap gone! 45 minutes later capped again.

These caps are incredibly stupid. I was capped on 7 different reputations.

Ah. I’ve been itching for a month of an mmo. Been debating a few stories on this or maybe lotr. Need something not endgame focused.

Edit: wrong thread. Thought I was in the he eso thread.

I'm playing catch-up in LOTRO right now. Game feels a lot smoother than it used to, but it's hard to recommend to anyone not into lore/story. Although, if that's what you're looking for, the game has lots of it.

I had read somewhere that you could take old companions back through black talon to gain influence but it isn't working for me.

Having fun playing this with a lot of new players from Steam

People were already coming back to make credits off swoop week and general chat is going as well as you can expect.

I want swoop week again. I want the beks biker jacket.

Any idea what this current week's thing is about? I stumbled onto the biker one, but I have no idea where this one even starts.

I don't think that's the case. As far as I knew it was always the first companion you got that you could power level influence in there. like 7k a run.

I like this armor

For manually gathering mats where's the best place for Grade 10? I skipped over whole tiers and the level 70 one i have zero mats for, but i still need enough for leveling and anything else.

You can level up a few specific companions (not the one pictured), fairly easy, once you get to 75 and start spamming LFG Flashpoints. Dissembling gear for the Tech Frags gives you a TON of Jawa parts. With Jawa parts, you can buy Rank 5 Delicacies (used to be artwork) and Maintenance (used to be consumable). All robots in the game love Maintenance, and there are a few companions that like or love Delicacies (such as Lord Hexin, who comes from an achievement to do 50 groupfinder flashpoints). Slightly outdated Influence guide linked below (less influence per item now).

On a related note, here is some info on how companions rank according to the min/maxer parcing, it generally goes:

I think level 10 should be KOTFE & KOTET (all the chapters). So, any 60 to 70 level zone should do it; Zakuul has a bunch of nodes in the swamp, which you play in the early chapters. Iokath might have stuff, but didn't spend too much time there.

I bought a bunch of companion gifts but... I need some kind of homer simpson key presser. This is going to take hours.

Even with the legacy upgrades that make turnins faster/give more influence, definitely sucks.

They sold an official Star Wars ToR keyboard (Razer) during the first years of the game, that came with macro software, so, while officially against the ToS, I have never heard of any bans for it. A whole bunch of people macro a repeating "1" key to level up their companions. I used the Logitech macro software, to save my wrists, while leveling companions, every time I have played this game, going all the way back to release. If the program came with your keyboard or mouse, it's fairly safe, as long as the macro is simple.

Other third party programs built just for macros are a bit more risky. I couldn't figure out how to get the Logitech software to repeat a mouse click, so, after manually going through ~1000 Kingpin tokens, I setup Auto Hotkey (AHK) for turning in the remaining 2000+ tokens (that I had built up from the using the Emperor machine). AHK is a bit complicated, but a simple repeating mouse click or "1" wasn't too difficult to set up. Just don't macro for 7+ hours doing complicated shit or fuck around in PvP where people would get pissed.
