i spent about 4 hours tonight hunting all the creatures in the middle to the north of the map. didn't loot anything cept the same stuff you get from kashyyyk, like creature brains and other body parts. i did get a little mini-quest from a heart to go kill 25 raptors. there is also a tulrus horn that gives a mini-quest. only reward was like 7k credits. i went in the facility to the NE where those two hard creatures are that are mentioned above with two jedi. we ended up running for our lives from them


-edit- i think ive done all the exploration and creature hunting quests, and no ch or 'glowy' items were looted or rewarded.

yeah, not at all surprised unfourtunately. I think the clues (still all we have) are all pointing in the same direction... there are 4 +10 wearable loot items on mustafar: DE ring, BE ring, WS ring and the CH necklace. 3/4 have been looted by either myself or another member of my guild within the last 72 hours. We've looted two WS rings, one off the kabuza beetle foreman, and one off the droid facility boss. the DE and BE rings were both looted off that same driod facility boss. the last of which, (still un-looted and un-confirmed) is the CH necklace. In true scooby doo fashion we're forced to follow what clues we have. +10 wearable loot? probably looted from the same things that drop the others, sigh...


thethird timewe killed the droid factory boss today he dropped a MBH lightning cannon with 800 max damage so go figure.


My guild sucessfully completed HK-47 today, (first on Bloodfin) *puffs chest* and we pulled some WICKED loot off that quest. i wouldnt put it past them to drop that particuilar loot somewhere among the bosses in that quest too. but if my money's on it....








There is a chef ring as well, gives +10 to assembly (which is useless because food assembly is borked and + mods don't add or detract lol).


I tooam guessingthe necklace is loot, but I am also working with the cube theory. I just want mine, no matter how I have to get it

Ok here's another one. Rapidly leveling a pet. This one is more of a "did you know" thing than anything else. You know how if you as a player are say level 15 and you group with a level 80... you become a lvl 80 for defensive purposes but if you kill a lvl 80 you gain xp as if you were a lvl 15 killing a lvl 80. Well if you have a pet that is level 70 and it groups with a level 1, the pet lowers down to the max level of the group and gets the defensives of a level 1. If that pet kills a lvl 4 it gets xp not as a lvl 70 killing a lvl 4, but as a lvl 1 killing a lvl 4. This way the pet gets approx 4k+ xp per kill. Now your lvl 70 pet is still going to maintain its damage and health, meaning 1 shot kills on rills. So either dual login a crafter alt, or hijaak a crafter buddy, or find a total newbie and hire him. Put the pet on friend to the lvl 1, have the lvl 1 group with the pet, then run around outside of (insert low level city here) wiping out the local wildlife. I got my new lava flea guard approx 3mil xp in 40 mins while watching tv and randomly running my shipwright around w/ my ch on follow.

Also working on the glowing items dropped by creatures -



you have the ancient talrus and ancient xandark in the research facility - both of which drop glowing loot.

Thus sets off page after page of responses. Halfof which are honest and true: "You must download the trial and see for yourself." Some are "sky is falling" responses. One or two suspect some trolling and question how the OP is able to post here. And the remainder latch on to one of the questions and debate the topic until flying pigs return carrying the wayward cows.

glow items,


so far all the glowy things i have looted have been off lvl 82 and up. i have not got any glow items as loot off anything lower.


i have noticed, i waited for this lvl 84 boss at the strike leaders camp. killed him 4 times and got the same thing. glowy batteries.


can't confirm any cycling of loot.


As for the expansion being totally jedi based might be possible. but i practally live there right now.


i play with 2 toons. one is my master creature handler, which pulls out a high level pet, and a combat droid. and he is a Master combat medic. ( this toon is totaly macro driven with his pets befriended to my main toon who is master rifle, master pistol. )


i have not tried any of the main quest bosses, but i have completed 23 of the quest with just the 2 of us and our pets.


so for most of the quest you do not need a jedi group. i for see only a couple of quest where i could use a little jedi help.


but thats how it is for DWB, or the avitar type quest.

Rnsthn may I ask what this has to do with the ch necklace???



How about starting your own thread givinf advice about your experiences. This is not a flame but is my advice on how not to turn the direction of a thread into something totallly off subject from the original posters intent.



I may just be speaking for myself and one voice but when I come to this ch necklace thread I quite simply would like to read about the CH necklace. this is thesecond attempt at a "CH Necklace thread"the first thread was redirected and morphed into something that required it to be dumped.

Hey again folks,

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.

SPECIAL SPECIAL NOTE: It has been verified that this is totally irrelevant as CH is now a dead profession. What a waste of 2 years of fun.

Welp, they locked them out of the Jedi robes... why not the CH necklace? Just my two cents.

This of course all seems to be mute. Have all of you noticed there will be no CH anyway in 2 weeks?
