• Game Update 1.3 Preview: Legacy Character Perks

    To begin a series of Game Update 1.3 previews, we bring you the complete list of Legacy Character Perks along with their costs and benefits.

    These are a great way to increase experience gained throughout the leveling process for the types of content of your choice, but also acquire a number of improvements for travel, crafting, companion affection gain and others.

    Unlike Legacy-wide unlocks, many of the character perks seem quite affordable for a player with at least one level 50 char, but you must be aware that upgrading a perk to a higher rank (if any) requires the previous one so you can't purchase only the highest rank. Check out the full list below:

    Improved Flashpoint Experience (Rank 1 to 5)

      The increased xp perks are way to expensive to be per character instead of legacy side. Poor execution, Bioware.

      They probably thought you shouldn't afford to buy ALL of them, at least not very soon...to prevent people from leveling too fast.

      Did they remove the Crit Chance for Crafting?
    1. Lizzy's Avatar

      Yes, I've noticed that too. While we may feel disappointed, I think they removed it because it could have a negative influence on the production of consumables (meaning it could increase it too much).

      That sucks but I can deal with it. Other than PvP XP, none of these seem too useful for my 50, but for my alts these sound great.

      Im glad they kept the perks affordable unlike the ones that are in game now

      *edit* crap I didnt read these are all per character and not legacy. They are a tad expensive there but atleast doable now

      Price aren't bad, unless you are going to max out everything. Who really needs 15 min mailbox or repair droid in the field.

      The field mail droid is actually pretty cheap, just 60k credits with all the upgrades. I couldn't say the same for the repair droid tho....

      The main focus of Legacy so far has been on alts - mainly to get "content locusts" to consume more of the content. Right now, a lot of 50s have pushed up one toon and are bored... It's a new game, and while there's a good amount of endgame content there is nowhere near enough for man hardcore players. The alt-friendly Legacy perks entice these content locusts to stop chewing in a straight line, and instead chew a few rows of content with alts.

      The +Class, +WZ, and +FP perks make it so that you can grind a whole lot less of the generic non-class storyline quest material that even I started spacebarring through, despite the fact that I'm a story-locust and alt-o-holic.
