    Hey, just so you guys know, there's a special sale going on today starting in the morning and going on till close to midnight in the game's cash shop. Each hour, something new gets a discount so keep an eye on the shop in the game or a site like Dulfy to see what you can hopefully get on the cheap.

  • OwenashiOwenashi Registered User regular
    Sorry for the double-post but Character Slots are going for 60CC in the cash-shop for the next 10 minutes.

  • ShadowenShadowen Snores in the morning LoserdomRegistered User regular
    But I already maxed out my extra character slots on my main server!

    ...fuck it. (logs on to other servers)

    ...wait, when the funk did the bonus character slots start affecting all servers?

  • OwenashiOwenashi Registered User regular
    Yep, it's an Account-wide item. Bought 4 to bring myself up to 12 per server.

    doesn't the leveling bundle only apply to one character?

    In which case, meh

    I know if you buy them one at a time from the legacy screen it is only per character. Made that mistake before realizing it.

    If it was for the whole account it would be pretty great.

    If the Improved perks are in the Character-only section of the Legacy window, then yeah they'll probably work only with whomever uses them. Not sure if they're sellable on the GTN but if they are, they could be profitable.

  • KanaKana Registered User regular
    Tho the preferred access bundle is only 648, and that's got a bunch of nice stuff for any nonsubscribers.

    crew skill slot, speeder piloting 1, character titles, unify colors

    It's the second neutral-faction Companion you can pick up. I think you can get the unlock for her in-game if you have a million credits. Not sure how else other then that and the cash-shop item frees her up to be a part of your crew.

    This (last?) deal is actually worth it - upgradable mount + speeder training 1 for 240 cc, + 80 to make it accessible for all characters

    Saves you a lot of credits, especially if you're not a subscriber

    Ok people, we can relax. I'm here now.
    "Finally."

    Hush, you.

    Codex Entry - Lord Paladius
    For much of his youth, Lord Paladius led an undistinguished career as a charismatic but petty Sith Lord. Uninterested in conquest or the pursuit of dark side knowledge, he left Imperial space for Nar Shaddaa and found a world ripe for his brand of manipulation.

    Becoming the leader of the Cult of the Screaming Blade has allowed Lord Paladius to enrich himself personally, expanding his collection of art and antiquities and living off the fruits of his cultists’ mad devotion.

    Welp, that's taken care of. What's y'all's story?

    Codex Entry - Destris Veran and Rylee Dray
    Former cultists of the powerful and charismatic Sith Lord Paladius, Rylee Dray and Destris Veran fled into hiding on Nar Shaddaa to escape the Sith Lord’s wrath.

    A clever but shy slicer, Rylee is drawn to power, while her companion Destris imagines himself someday becoming the ruler of his own cult. They are an unlikely pair, drawn together only by their disillusionment with the false promises of Lord Paladius and eager to find a new leader to follow.

    Hmmm, yeah. It seems your lovely friend here didn't quite make it clear enough, so I'll explain something to you: The last person that "Lady Sith" sent me to help out, ended up pissing me off to the point where I shoved my dashade's sword up his ass and then I shocked it until he exploded. Ya dig?

    Py7OKqd.png?1

    I'm so glad we're on the same page.

    Now, Paladius has an something I need, but he's hiding and needs to be drawn out. So tell me how you plan to do that.

    I was watching Spaceballs last night and it occurred to me that the surface Alderaan had never been shown before Druidia (a clear Alderaan stand-in)

    I have no idea how I'm skilling out this Jedi Sage. Right now I'm putting points into the "throw giant pieces of wreckage at people" tree. It seems to be working well while my Trandosian dude does the grunt work.

    So the casino event at Nar Shaddaa starts today. This first go only has two types of slot machines, each needing their own tokens to play. According to Dulfy:
    • Kingpin Casino Chip: 50k credits or 1 Cartel Market Certificate
    • Smuggler’s Casino Chip: 1k credits or 100 Warzone Commendation

    The Kingpin has two prizes it'll deliver right off the bat: a Rancor mount and a speeder-mount called the Vectron Magnus. Otherwise you'll be playing to win Golden Certificates to turn in for the other prizes. The Smuggler slot-machine actually gives it's own prize in the form of a two-minute buff to improve your chances on the Kingpin machine. Also, there's a hidden title and achievement to win.
    The machines have a 0.02% chance of EXPLODING, earning you The Unlucky title and the Quality Assurance achievement.

    Prizes usually go from 1-3 Golden Certificates with a pet droid being 5 and another mount, the Vectron Opus, at 15.

    So you get the rancor mount and speeder at the Kingpin slot guaranteed? Because I have a single cartel market certificate...

    *edit. Wait. I went to read the Dufly page seems like there are odds for the rancor and bike... :(

    I need that fedora ad blaster pistol though.

  • OwenashiOwenashi Registered User regular
    Yeah, when I said 'right off the bat', I meant the Kingpin machine has them as extra prizes alongside the Golden Certificate and will give you the mount directly rather then you having to pick it up from the event-vendor.

    Welp. Got a jackpot and won a Rancor. Can all my characters use it?

    Edit: Hmmm Considering this space tommy gun doesn't unlock anything in the collection I'm going to assume this Rancor is just once character. Gotta figure out who should get it then.

    Observations from the event *your experiences will vary*

    Took the 100k credits I had on my agent and spent them on smuggler tokens in two batches of 50. Went through both batches. Got about 20 kingpin tokens out of that. Got the rancor on one of the last tokens. Got a couple of jackpots on the smuggler slots which give a gold certificate. Got enough gold certificates to get the laser tommy gun.

    Then I remembered I had a level 40 smuggler that I made way back. Logged in and emailed my sage 200k. Spent 100k more on smuggler tokens. Burned through half then used the kingpin tokens then repeated. On the second kingpin run I got the jackpot speeder and six more gold certificates.

    Total spent: 200k credits
    Obtained: Rancor, speeder bike, space tommy gun, fedora for my agent, and a blaster pistol for my smuggler.

    Ok, aside from the hat, the Kingpin armor is the smuggler's Battlemaster gear set.

    So far in legacy gear they've released Trooper battlemaster (Kuat Drive Yards), Shadow battlemaster (Tython/Korriban tactical missions) and now Smuggler battlemaster. I was really hoping the next release would be knight battlemaster, but I guess I have to wait for one more event.

    I'm definitely going to be working on getting that gear tonight.

    Oh, big tip. Don't go to the casino after you get your free tokens. Leave and go to the promenade. Those two sail barges on the outside? Both have both sets of slot machines and a vendor. Way less laggy.

    AHAHAHAHAH So I take my level 39 smuggler over to the casino to use the gold certificates I mailed him from my Sage so he can get the Han Solo blaster. Get the five free smuggler slot tokens and after buying the pistol, I go to burn them for laughs. Get three kingpin tokens from those five smuggler tokens, then get the speeder bike jackpot on the kingpin slots on the first try. Guess Smugglers are lucky!

    Also Here's my Agent with his undercover hat and gun.

    Another FYI. The Kingpin pistol has a laser sight when it is drawn in the color of the crystal. Not sure how rare that is on a pistol. Not seen them do that yet.

    Also my quick travel is back up to half an hour. I didn't receive a notice my sub had lapsed, and it damn well better not have--I still have like two weeks left in my last month. But I can still send up to 5 companions on missions on level 50 characters.

    Did...did this latest patch remove a subscriber benefit?

  • CambiataCambiata Commander Shepard The likes of which even GAWD has never seenRegistered User regular
    Yeah I'm pretty sure that quick travel thing is a bug. I hope they don't take 3 weeks to fix it.

    Looks like they've got a fix-patch schedule on friday evening, so hopefully that'll fix most of these things

    Also I made a bounty hunter and spent waaaay too many credits equipping her
