Exploration Badges Link

[bt2066]

Started a few days ago, and tested this and it works. Currently at 4/7

10 Exploration Badges got me 2/7
20 Exploration Badges got me 3/7
30 Exploration Badges got me 4/7

I am just TKM nothing else in professions. I checked TKM with no badges my status and had 1/7

My theory and I love a good theory is its Exploration Badges, Quantity of Professions (Maybe) and Quantity of PVP Unique Kills. People reaching for straws for crazy things will have a hard time, just playing the game is the best way to go.

People have mastered almost every profession in the game(Minus Politician) and have every badge possible - and are still only 6/7.

I'm in no rush. I'm 6/7 and just playing the game. If some old man comes up and tries to bring me into his cult while I'm doing such, I'm fine with it.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing getting to level 3 or 4 is pretty easy for a combat toon who does a fair bit of exploring... I don't get enough continuous play time in to really enjoy my main Hefeweizen, but he has hit 30-40 Badge locations... in terms of "real" accomplishment, he has only completed Jabba's Theme Park, all 6 of the Racetracks and mastered Scout and that got him to level 3 no problem... last week he finally mastered Rifles (took forever to get the last of the combat xp) and the next visit to the Force Shrine said he was at level 4... I have an Entertainer character with 4 masters, along with 10-15 exploration badges, and he's at nothing special... same for my primary Crafter who is a triple master (Artisan, Merchant, Architect) with about a dozen badge locations... "nothing special"...

I'm also guessing that even though the Ent and Crafter are more accomplished than Hefe from a professions mastery standpoint... their exploration badges tend to be the "easy" ones everybody picks up on the beginner planets, while Hefe is only missing a handful that will require buffs to survive (he got all the rest without buffs thanx to high Maskscent/Camo skills from his Scout/Ranger lines, but still at least one on Dath he couldn't find because it wasn't at the published waypoint, and the 3rd or 4th time buzzing by all those Rancor finally annoyed them to the point of one shot cloning me... ^-^

Hefe mate, how did you get the Agrilat swamp race track? I still cannot get waypoint one to change to two. I've looked all over the googlesphere and although old SOE adverts for the racetracks show waypoints for three tracks the other tracks were lacking in this data.

Have you any waypoints I can use or did you have a different method?

Look forward to finding out how to get around this bug, cheers mate!

How many people, have actually done pvp though. I love PVP myself, and I am curious to its population for it. My best guess is not alot of folks focus on PVP and thats the tracking error. I could be ignorant and wrong about the PVP activity here but from what I have heard not alot of folks do it.

I have literally been SF for the past two weeks solid and havent run into a single sf reb, even going to major rebel towns and pois. I sat in diarmid for an entire day afk buff macroing and forgot I was SF the entire time, no one attacked me nor did I ever see an SF. I would love to pvp, at this point I'm just hoping for some pvp events because casually/unstructured seems to be nonexistent atm. :-\

[bt2066]

Ya that is what I heard... if its a PVP related objective to get 7/7 hopefully the devs here can recognize its population isnt PVPing and maybe adjust it. I hope its PVP and hope to get some action soon, I hear there are alot of Imps and not alot of Rebs.

Have you tried doing it right when the server comes up? that was my issue. I had to be the first to do it.

[StepoKedur]

That's certainly doable mate I think it resets about 11:30 ish my time (BST). When is server reset exactly (ish) ?

Cheers!

Every 2.5 hours it resets. So try right when it reboots.

Steppo - see below... the map POIs are misleading to say the least...

And as others have mentioned, unless you have a super fast vehicle and feel very lucky, try to do it before anybody else gets up on the leader boards to guarantee "best time" for that day... Agrilat is tricky (in terms of waypoints... the badge location is one place, the map POI marker is another, though I thought it was near the Race Start location... have a new toon that needs the Badge location so will put all the info here...

Go to the overhead map and start by activating the POI waypoint called "Agrilat Swamp Track"

The Yellow Triangle "Points of Interest - Agilat Swamp Track" takes you to: [1857, 4636] and, guess what? nobody is there... but if you have the Overhead Map on (Ctrl-M), you should see a white triangle not too far away from the POI location...
Overhead Map White Triangle near the above POI - "Race Coordinator Droid".. he is actually at [1681, 4698]

Anybody looking for the Exploration Badge should head about 1000m away to: [1377, 3765]

The Overhead Map white lettering "Points of Interest - Agrilat Swamp" takes you to: [1377, 3765] and the Exploration Badge location "Heart of the Agrilat Crystal Swamps"

I just did this in the last hour 6pm EST and nobody has tried the track today so the best time is yours for the taking :))

Ive been seeing a lot of the Remoku in Dairmid SF Rebel.

No Jedis? I've been away for quite some time

No Jedis? I've been away for quite some time

WHO would be dumb enough to say they have Jedi? There are hundreds of BH's ready to roll. This isn't Blahfin or Nutwing.

That would add to the fun of being a Jedi, IMO. That being said, I don't think anybody has unlocked yet.

Not fun early on as you can't kill a Durni! I wouldn't bet on it either way. Smart Jedi would be silent until strong enough to properly defend myself which can take months if it's similiar to PreCU grind.

Im pretty sure you meant "themselves".
The length of a Jedi grind would depend on how prepared they were (grinding template, saber resources, pvp and planet knowledge), how and if the visibility system has been changed (Pure use of skills adds Visibility points-No9 in another forum post) and whether or not other players may aid that Jedi when they are under attack by a BH.

Irony is that if pvp is part of the unlocking, one of the BH's may find themselves being the next target.

Erp, is that Freudian?

Well you should leave your cantina if you want some pvp. I have run into pvp every night so far while walking around SF. Maybe our play times are different. Also I'm sure if you hop into TS with the BDSM people they will let you know if they see anyone that may be SF, they have a nice network of Imperials on at just about any time.

[bobaphat]

I've decided to take a toon Rebel again. I don't want to but shit, we need pvp.
