Leveling Tips

December 10, 2011 5:15:38 PM

OOC:: This is a work in progress that will be updated through-out the game to provide more tips/tricks for faster leveling. If you have other tips, feel free to add them up to the topic so they can be included in the initial post.

Overall Tips

Accept and run as many quests as you possibly can. Look at your map to find the quest givers.
Complete quests that are grouped together for faster leveling. You'll normally get multiple quests at the start of a new area all grouped together.
Make sure to complete all your quests before moving onto the next area.
- This includes HEROIC quests as well for Armor/Weapon Upgrades.
Don't spend credits on weapons or armor. You can get weapons and armor from questing and item drops. Training your skills will become much more expensive, so make sure you have enough for training.
Complete FLASH POINTS for Armor Upgrades. You may even want to run them multiple times so you can get all your upgrades. It seems as though there are about 2 different upgrades that drop for each class in each flash point.
If you find people on your same quests, grouping with them will help you complete them faster.
Grouping up to do quests actually results in bonus XP, having at least one person with you will make leveling faster not only because you're killing things faster but because you're actually getting more XP for it (plus Social points).

Level 1-9 Tips

LEVEL 9: DO NOT LEAVE THE FIRST PLANET BEFORE YOU ARE LEVEL 10
- You need quests when you drop in route to the second planet (Dromund Kaas) that aren't available until you are level 10 so you can get your advanced class.

Level 10-19 Tips

LEVEL 10: Train your advanced class as soon as you get to the Imperial Station.
LEVEL 14: You get Sprint, so make sure to train asap.

Level 20-29 Tips

LEVEL 20: Start saving for your speeder bike at LEVEL 20 so you have enough for 48,000 Credits at LEVEL 25.
LEVEL 25: Train your speeder bike skill for 40,000 Credits and purchase your speader bike at a speeder vendor for 8,000 Credits.
- There are speeder vendors at the Imperial Space Station and Tatooine (near first towns taxi-stop). If you pre-ordered the game, you'll be able to get the pre-order vehicle.

Some ammendments and additions for this list:

Grouping up to do quests actually results in bonus xp, having at least one person with you will make leveling faster not only because you're killing things faster but because you're actually getting more xp for it (plus Social points).

Training the advanced class at level 10 is super double-plus important.

Sprint is actually gained at level 14 (as of last beta weekend).

There are also speeder vendors elsewhere, I found one on Tatooine near the first town's taxi-stop. It had some speeders that the one on the station didn't.
