Tips for Free-to-Play SWTOR Players

Описание: One of the nice things about Star Wars: The Old Republic is that you can try out the game as a free-to-play player without investing any money in to the game, and play all 8 class stories from levels 1- 50. Unfortunately, in return for the ability to play for free, SWTOR F2P players are penalized with restrictions in the game. This video is specifically for free-to-play players, and I’ll be going over tips and tricks on how to mitigate the effects of the free-to-play restrictions.

F2P Story & Quests - 00:58

Free-to-Play players only have a limited amount of story quests available to them – they basically have all the quests and storylines that were released with the launch of the game, but they don’t have access to the expansion storylines. While you play your class storyline from levdel 1-50 though, you’ll have the exact same amount of quests available as a subscriber would.

• Main Questline
• Exploratory Quests
• Repeatable Heroics
• Black Hole
• Solo Flashpoints
• Group Flashpoints
• 8 Class Stories, 2 Factions
• Achievements
• Warzones
• Galactic Starfigher
• Space Missions
• Roleplay
• Expansions (not F2P)

Credit Cap - 06:11

One of the biggest restrictions free-to-play players face are the Credits Restrictions. Free-to-play players are limited to only being able to hold a maximum of 200,000 credit – and credits they earn over that amount go into escrow, and won’t become available until they subscribe. A large majority of cosmetic armors, mounts, pets and decorations on the GTN are going to be out of reach for Free-to-play players.

• GTN Searching (limiting price and sorting by price)
• Legacy Bank
• Trade with other trustworthy players/friends
• Have friends buy you items

Fashion on a Budget - 09:26

Due to the free-to-play credit cap, it can be hard to buy good-looking armor for your characters.

• Adaptive Vendor
• Crafted Armor
• Low-level Armor
• Social Gear

Mounts on a Budget - 10:22

The mounts vendor in the Galactic Trade Market section of the fleet has mounts for as long as 8,000 credits, and there are 5 mounts within a free-to-play player’s credit limit,and htere's more on:

• Voss
• Tatooine
• Quesh
• Social Vendors

Decorations on a Budget - 10:34

Although most cartel market decorations will be outside of your 200,000 credit limit, there are many decorations that can be earned from other sources.

• Groupfinder Solo Decos
• Crafted Prefab Decorations

11:06 - Cartel Coins

Cartel Coins are normally earned by subscribing or can be purchased with real money, but can be earned for free.

• Security Key
• Achievements

Unlocks - 12:00

Some of the free-to-play restrictions can be removed with unlocks, while others are permanent. Here’s the unlocks I recommend saving up for.

• Referral Code (if you don't have a SWTOR account yet)
• Quickbar
• Personal Bank Unlock
• Inventory space, Legacy Bank tabs and personal bank tabs
• Unify Colors
• Hide Head Slot
• “Going Places” bundle for Rocket Boost

Gearing at Level 50

Gearing up as a free-to-play player is pretty tough – but there’s very little content in the game you will need “great gear” for. Players who want to gear up as free-to-play do it mostly for fun and personal prestige.

• Companions
• How to Gear Up
• Color Crystals
• Cheap Gren Mods
• Blue Mods
• Augments
