I hate to disagee, but I do.
The simple fact is,Wookiees can wear necklaces. My best friend is a Wookiee CH/CM and she most definitely wears the Nyax Necklace (Medical Warfare Efficiency +5).
I also diagree with that the Devs have to respond to anything, it's in the game to solve puzzles, isn't it? But I agree they have to give such nice rewards to all species, many players have not choosen their specie entirely from mods and stuff, and actually some mods have changed post-CU.
The Dev's need to respond
As I stated they do not have to give spoliers. They need to confirm the existance and if it is a loot drop and not from where. Please read more carefully I was not asking for specifics. I clearly stated that
As for necklaces. Not all necklaces are wearable by Wookiees. Only the ones that wookiess have complained enopugh about were changed to be wearable. Like the master pilot medal.
We need the response t mip a potential issue in the bud.
Let this thread be what it was meant to, a collection of the useful info you look for. I have seen no post so far with some real content, only posts that more or less contains more whining and wishes, posts that should have gone into their own threads rather than this one. My only input was a minor correction on Scooters statement, spiced with one of my thoughts. I have edited the minor thingie in my original post that mislead some of you to wrongly bash at me.

Mustafar was 100 percent built for jedi dont let anyone say thats not true it is true. I am kind of getting tired of haveing jedi friends talking about wasteing a ultra high level mob that wastes me in 30 to 40 seconds at most. This is not a load its the truth I walk in on one of these super bugs and I get to be introduced to all sorts of quote AI tweeks to boot.
Here are some of my favorites everything group attacks everything. You shoot one thing and its buddy 30m away comes storming down the trail after you. Oh and I love this part anytime something aggros it immediately goes right for me not my pet thats doing the damage right for me.
My best pets are quickly working their way to the garbage dump. I dont know about everyone else but I have lost a grand total of 100 pet vitality points on mustafar so far. My favorite part is all the healers in the group will watch as my pet gets destroyed then they get ticked that I stick him in the bag and use a non special pet. What can I say I cannot afford to blow anymore vitality on you dimwits. So I cant actually even use my good pets because I cant afford to rebuild them if they can be rebuilt at all.
I also love the following aswell we have no necklace to use to even tame on mustafar our only content is apparantly off some super high mob. A mob which requires you to be in a large group. In a nutshell I have bought this expansion for one item this damned necklace and I cannot get it because I am not a holocron muncher. The one item that might make me attractive to a group is locked behind a wall that requires a group to get.
I am pretty sick of this nonsense. I just blew 30 bucks for nothing way to go devs.
ummm. yeah. Last time i checkedthe fact that"mustafar was built for jedi" has little to do with verifying/helping us uncover how to get this elusive necklace. Please stay on topic guys. if all people see is complaints about jedi and such, they'll become annoyed, and then not look farther to see the actually helpful info. As for me, i am trying to get my guildmates together to go on said quest, and my guildmates have all agreed that if anyone loots it off the NPC, that they'd give it to me. so hopefully something will happen soon!

please point out the 'new' info the title of this thread offers. all i see is the same 'what ifs'. how about not starting these threads at all until you have 'verified' information?

Hello kkelly9,
the "new" information put forward in this thread is that there appears to be a plausible account of the necklace being looted off of Doombringer on Mustafar as opposed to the original method suggested or rather hinted at by a dev with that "rubix" comment. The overall purpose of this thread, I assume, is to put in that verified proof we are all looking for and to collate the existing hints that have been sent our way into once place also. Another main reason to start this second thread was that the first one degenerated into a flame-fest which served no purpose and helped nobody.

The CH forum has been a mean-spirited mess this weekend... I really hope we can join together and solve this once and for all. PLEASE do not troll, argue, bicker, etc. in this thread!
Basically, we learned that the hints and information tossed our way during Beta may have been inaccurate and/or misleading, and a new direction has unfolded.
The current, unverified method of acquiring the Master Tamer's Necklace is to kill and loot Doombringer from the YT-2400/HK-47 quest series. Assuming it is proven, credit should be given to BloodfinKaars, who brought this to our attention.
I state that the method is unverified because no screenshot has been produced... however it is entirely possible that Doombringer or another NPC would drop the necklace, as the necklace was never found in Beta.
If it is indeed a loot, it is not a guaranteed drop. Similar to Necrosis, reports across the forums state that several different items (including the Jedi Master Cloak) drop from Doombringer.
Please report any further findings here, and if you have a screenshot or will allow me to meet you on your server to verify the necklace's existence, please PM me and I will get with you ASAP!
SPECIAL NOTE: It is not yet verified if the Master Tamer's Necklace can be worn by Ithorians or Wookiees. However, it also has not been verified that it can't be. I have stated before, there is no reason to lock two races out of advanced profession content, so if it is determined that the necklace cannot be worn by Wookiees or Ithorians I will immediately address the situation with the dev team. Until such time as it has been verified either way, please don't panic! And rest assured, if it's not wearable, I'll fight it tooth & nail.
I can't remember who posted this theory or where. I think it was here in the CH forums..
Speaking for myself, I am going to try to explore this theory since it will most likely be a while before I can work my way into the graces of another high-end hunting group that can handle the tougher areas...
So.. while some groups explore the theory that the necklace is a loot drop from the doombringer or some other boss, I am going to explore the other theory.. which is...
Someone mentioned that glowey items that were looted from the same base camp were able to be combined and created a loot item that was somewhat related to the type of camp it is and the quest reward item type. For instance, the camp in the NW has a quest for a BH rifle. Someone mentioned that glowey items from that area turned into a pro-BH loot item. He then went on to his theory...
Since a CH is a wilderness profession and is totally creature-related, then perhaps the types of glowey items we ought to be looking for drop from creatures.
I have not seen a compiled list of what types of creatures/npcs drop which glowey items. I am developing my own list, but at this point, it has 6 lines. haha. (I'm not a 24/7 grinder type).
So I am going to see if I can rustle up some of my friends and go open-field hunting. Perhaps spending a few hours in each area and recording whatever we get and what dropped it. Of course, we will focus on the higher end boss types if we are able to defeat them.
Is anyone else exploring this theory?
PVPers and most PVE hunter types do not hunt creatures much unless they are after pearls or some other armor/weapon enhancement. Since nothing similar to pearls drop on Mustafar from creatures, there are VERY FEW hunting groups doing this.
Noone found it during Beta... No surprise.. Where will everyone be during beta? Dungeons? Or out on the plains killing xandarks??
I am gambling that the item will drop from a mob or creature that is related to the profesion it is designed to enhance.
I'm going hunting.

Dodece,
As a fellow CH, I feel your pain about healers not healing your pets in combat. However, it has been explained to me by trustworthy healers that when your pet is not grouped they cannot see it's HAM bar. Therefore, they are generally unaware that your pet is even being harmed. The only way my pets ever get healed by others in groupis when someone is spamming area heals. Everyone knows area heals also draw major aggro. My suggestion is to stock up on pet stims and ask someone to heal your pet when it's health gets about halfway down. Keep asking and usually someone willheal your pet. Until they do, use the stims (there is no delay on reuse). I know it's a pain but it's the way it is. This is not meant to be a flame. It's just meant to inform.

I'm giving it a try. I'm using the list getting compiled here to start things out.
Some key pieces I'm going to try using (at least at the beginning):
- Faintly glowing slave collar (hey, it's a necklace...)
- Faint Feather (drops from onyx plated xandanks)
- Faint patch of hair (blistmoks)
- Faint ambush detector
- Faint retrofit kit
There's no guarantee that the created item has any real relation to the "normal" use of the components you put in the cube, but you've got to start somewhere.
