Star Wars: The Old Republic has an increasing number of vanity pets for you to discover and collect. Some of them are very easy to get, some require a lot of time and patience while others are unobtainable (such as pets that were removed during Beta and never got to be implemented on live servers).

Either way, BioWare blessed us with plenty of pets for your collecting pleasure and we did our best to find and list them all for you (or at least almost all). Before adventuring on the vast planets of the TOR universe in the search for new pets here are a few things you should know:

- Pets are summoned/unsummoned from the PETS tab of your Abilities window
- You can only have a single pet summoned at a time
- You can have a pet and a companion summoned at the same time
- A summoned pet will follow you even if you are on a speeder

Game Update 1.2 brought us several mini-pets, such as the Orokeet/Orosquab/Orochick birds, obtainable in several steps. There are several places where you can get the eggs:

Step 1: Get the egg(s)

Orokeet (Unusual Egg)

There are 2 spawn places for the Unusual Egg, both on Alderaan. Reports show that the respawn time for the eggs is roughly 4 hours.

We decided to create a nifty little leveling star chart for you guys, along with all the Flashpoints you can complete along the way. As you can see, the chart is nicely structured by Empire and Republic, with all the Planets/Flashpoints and the required level for each. The credits go to prowlinger for this great chart.


We've also added 2 PDF versions of this chart, in a higher resolution, for all

As we all know by now, our decisions and actions can please or displease our companions. And since your character will be stuck with the same companions for the rest of his….virtual life, might as well make them like you. Unfortunately, you won’t win their hearts with good looks and a charming smile….yes, unlike real life, in SWTOR money CAN buy love!

Companion gifts are the way to gain the affection of your trusty comrades and they are categorized in ranks from 1 to 5, 1 being the lowest rank and 5 the highest.

Now here's an interesting Crew Skills map, from a slightly different perspective. It shows which class categories (Force/Non-Force users) benefit more from a specific crew skill and also, which are their complementary skills, in order to benefit more.
