SWTOR: The missing manual Guide & FAQ

[Daelenn]

Had this posted in the Beta forums on the swtor.com site after the NDA was lifted. Going to re-post it here now that Beta is officially over.

http://www.liberi-fatali.net/the-old...guide-and-faq/

This is a comprehensive guide and FAQ for the game, compiled and updated from over 6 months of Beta testing. The guide portion is basically a look at the game that gives a ton of information about various aspects and lore, as well as an overview of how things work in the game. What the guide is not is a list of every item you can find in the game and strats on beating every boss you come across, I'll leave that to the database sites.

If you're curious what's in it, here's a list from the Table of Contents:

• Table of Content:
  General FAQ
  Timeline
  Classes
  Races
  Planets
  Companions
  Crew Skills
  Voice Cast

• Game Systems:
  User-Interface
  Keyboard Commands
  Class Resources
  Character Stats
  Item Mods
  Loot
  Enemies
  Codex
  Titles

• Gameplay:
  Quests
  Datacrons
  Space Combat
  Flashpoints
  Warzones/PvP
  Operations
  Tips & Suggestions

I hope everyone else finds the guide useful. If you have any comments or suggestions for additions to the FAQ, let me know.

If anyone has any questions they'd like to see added to the FAQ, or tips for the Tips & Suggestions page, let me know by the end of Friday.

Thanks

Thanks^^ Finished the guide for version 1.0 late Friday night. Already have a few things I'll add to it soon, but waiting till early access begins so that I can do a major update all at once depending on how much is changed. 2 days to go!

Hmm, you got all the datacron locations i guess and what stats they give etc?

Edit: think i've misunderstood, i imagine you are just explaining what they do

[Deleted]

Very very nice. Thank you so much for taking the time to put this together.

Very helpful, 10/10.

wait a sec...

SPOILER

“White Nova” 2-part Flashpoint
Boarding Party (Empire) – 32+
The Foundry (Empire) – 36+

Spoiler--->Does this mean Republic can't run these? Does this mean you have to be Empire to fight Revan?

[Deleted]

spoiler
{You can fight revan as empire and as republic you have to try helping him escape or so i've read , the republic bit could be wrong}

[Daelenn]

wait a sec...


Does this mean Republic can't run these? Does this mean you have to be Empire to fight ___?

Yeah, each faction has 3 flashpoints that are unique to that faction. The Republic version of "White Nova" is "Jedi Prisoner" and is sort of like an opposing view point of the flashpoints.

Wow that's a lot of great info! Even if someone already knows most of it I'm sure there's something new in there you haven't discovered yet and at the very least it's an interesting read. I enjoyed it very much, thanks for your hard work

After launch I may make some more guides as well, for things like Flashpoints, Operations, gearing, etc. We'll see

Awesome guide bro.

[conscript]

Fantastically well done. Bookmarking for reference once the game starts.

[Meeo]

Damn great guide!

[Deleted]

Amazing guide, many thanks for it. Waiting for early access and your guide cleared out many things for me.

Thank you =) Already found a few things to tweak and fix, so starting to jot down some notes for v1.1. I should be on for Tue's early access, so I'll begin updating the guide by mid week with any changes I find.

It's a fairly massive guide though, so if anyone finds some mistakes feel free to let me know and I'll add it to my notes.

I would like to see this guide/thread stickied : )

Especially now that there's so much discussion in the SWTOR forum.
