Legacy Perks in Game Update 1.3 2p4j38

Hi, I’m Senior skill from their Sith Inquisitor father, or you might have unlocked new species options for your classes. No matter your personal choices, you have now started to build your very own Star Wars™ legacy.

With Game Update 1.3, we are continuing to expand the leveling and once you’ve reached level 50.

Character Perks Perks are also restricted by Legacy level and character level in addition to having a credit cost.

Let’s take a look at the types of Perks we’re adding for Game Update 1.3!

Advancement Perks 1s11v

Everyone has their favorite activities in The Play the way you want to play and you’ll get rewarded for it!

There are five categories of modification perks in 1.3:

Our goal with experience modifier perks is to make it easier for you to level up new of your bonus to the experience you receive from doing them. Figure you’ll be traveling a lot while you do that? Pick up the Exploration modifiers, so that every time you uncover a new part of the map you get a little extra experience.

Travel Perks 2j2126

The Travel Perks introduced with Game Update 1.3 will help new and old characters alike get around the galaxy a little easier.

For new characters that are leveling up, we’re introducing Improved Speeder Piloting perks that allow characters to access to level 50 speeders ten levels early.

Your more seasoned Corellia.

Companion Perks 3k1q1u

Companion Perks modify the way that you interact with your companions, as well as making them more useful to you at both low and high levels.

You can purchase perks that modify the rate that you gain crafting skills, and you can even modify the length of time that they are gone selling your trash items, so that they’re only gone a quick few seconds instead of waiting around a full minute for them to return.

Convenience Perks 1321e

Tired of being caught out in battle with damaged gear? Didn’t vendor at all levels, so you and your allies can unload unwanted gear while on the go.

What if you’re handling important auctions on the Galactic Trade Network and need to access your mail? Another Convenience Perk will let you summon a mail Droid assistant with the Field Mail Droid perk. The Droid assistant acts as a mailbox wherever you need one.

Finally, we also offer a perk which allows you to reset your skill tree window that enables this feature. Re-specializing in the field costs the same as it would if you did it in a city, and continues to increase in cost the same that it does normally. It functions identically to the current system, except that you can access it from anywhere once you have this perk.

The Legacy system will continue to improve and expand beyond Public Test Server and let us know what you think!
