In this article we will do a hands-on preview over the Group Finder (LFG Tool) function that is currently available on the PTS Game Update 1.3 - Allies server.

This tool was one of the most requested features by the SWTOR community and we will present it to you in full details.

Game Update 1.3 brings some improvements to PvP, aswell as new items, schematics and vanity pets.

New PvP Mission (Free Recruit Gear)

With the Game Update 1.3, as soon as you get to level 50, you will have a new PvP mission called New Technology available at the Mission Terminal on the Imperial and Republic Fleets located in the Combat Training Quarter. The mission is not repeatable, it can only be done one time.

Game Update 1.3 - Allies brings alot of new features and updates to the Star Wars: The Old Republic game from which in this article we will cover the Crafting Skills changes brought by this patch.

These Augmentation Kits can be sold on GTN or other ways to everyone. This means that now, any player that has an Augmentation Kit can now apply it on ANY equipable item (of green quality and above).

[UPDATE] Modified costs and materials for live servers.

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:

Game Update 1.3 - Allies brings important features and performance tweaks to the game. Besides the well-known new features, it also solves known problems gathered over the time and includes some class balances, flashpoints/operations loot balances, new mini-pets and new crafting schematics.


On the PvP aspect of the game, besides the new ranked warzones, new level 50 missions have been added for the fresh 50's that grant boxes containing Recruit PvP gear.

It seems like the long wait is almost over. Today Joveth Gonzales came up with the big news everyone was expecting: we are hours away from seeing Game Update 1.3 on the Public Test Server. For those that haven't found out yet, any player can fill out a form for character copy from live servers onto the PTS (read below for more info).
