I found a list of BH locations trainers , mission terminals etc and there was a listing of bounty Hunter droid terminals. What do they do? Also how fast do you go through them, just wondering how many i should purchase initially.



Thanks for any replies

Droid terminals are a thing of the past.. Have to buy them off a player DE now.

Hello

Today i tryed my first BH mission with droids...


I took a mission and talked to a spynet guy. Then i used an arkayad probe and it directed me to Rori, When i arrived at rori i saw the orange waypoint on the map, i launched a seeker droid and it updated the waypoint and afterwards saying it lost track. I went to the waypoint and my target was not there. I launched another seeker and it said wp updated (though the waypoint never changed) and after that it said it lost track, I did it again and same thing. Can someone pls tell me how these droids work?

That is what BHs affectionately call ... a &@%$!!@$ Bugged mission! Abort it and start over.

p.s some BHs try things like putting down tents or ranger tracking, I personally hit the keyboard violently a couple of times and then start over.

You can try /target <target's name>


Not saying you will be able to attack after you get him targeted, but the /target command is useful

I am new to the BH profession, I just reached novice BH a few days ago, and have yet to do a BH mission.


I have read the thread BH FAQ but the coords for BH droids are incorrect for the Shadowfire server. Do i have to find a DE to get some BH droids, or can someone please give me the coords to a BH droid vendor?


Thank you.

If you are at 0/X/X/X in BH you don't need droids yet. Do investigation missions till you cap at 10k of investigation xp and train up to 2/x/x/x in BH with 4k banked toward investigation 3. If you need droids hit CNTRL+V to bring up your world map and double click the vendor listing on the side and select droid it will help.

To further clarify: droid vendors were removed from the game in August. In their place droid engineers were given schematics for crafting bounty hunter seeker droids (charged items, not the DZ-70) and bounty hunter Arakyd droids (also charged items).


You only need to use these droids after you have trained Inv 1. As the previous poster said, do not train Inv 1 (unless you're a masochist) but keep doing the novice missions until you cap out on investigation exp at 10k. Then you will be able to train Inv 1 and 2 at the same time.


Novice missions are always on the same planet where you took the mission. The best place to do these missions from is Tyrena or Coronet on Corellia. These are optimal locations, not just because you have an informant near a terminal. Missions you get on Corellia will tend to be near cities more often than missions you will take on Naboo, Tatooine, Rori, or Talus.


At Inv 1 your droids will be very slow and fail to find their targetfrom time to time. At Inv 2 your droids never fail and will report back faster.


Buy your droids in crates. You should be able to find a DE who will sell crates of 5 droids (with 10 charges per seeker and 5 charges per Arakyd) for 5k-10k credits. Sometimes if you are in a bind you can find these on the bazaar, either as single droids or in crates (availability will vary from server to server).


Grind out that 10k investigation exp. Have fun doing the missions, and while you're doing them keep an eye out for a DE's shop that is well-stocked with droids.


Good luck.
