Thread: Unintended Glowing

So, up to this weekend I was at stage 4 glowing. I felt the Force surge within me. I've not been persuing the whole get the inner glow become a jedi pathway. I toyed with the idea (who hasn't), but decided really that it wasn't for me. No complaints against those who seek or follow the path though. I'm not a Jedi hater.


Anyways. I've read the guides to glowing out of curiosity and to know what "not" to do. I had everthing except the content badges. Well, I had the imperial themepark. Over the weekend I finished Nym's themepark and did Jabba's themepark. I figured I was "safe" from glowing as that is only 3 content badges; 2 less than what the guides claim is requried. I did a /che to see if I bumped up a level and found I'dbumped not 1 level but 2 levels. I now have the inner glow and the Force is with me.


Eeep!


The FAQ says that by dying before the old man visits me is a possible way to lower your glow level, but that has never been confirmed at the last edit of the FAQ. So, what I'd like to find out are asnwers to the following:


  • Has there been a confirmed way to lower your glow level?

  • If not then. I know I can ignore the old man, but will he continue to bug me forever or will he eventually stop asking for my help if I continue to ignore him?

I guess my other option is now that I'm all glowy, maybe see what it's all about. I'm gonna be a visitor here on your forums for a bit I guess. Gonna be good and read all the FAQs and hope I don't ask too many silly questions.


I guess mainly I want to know what all my options are before I close any doors.


Thanks.

Just what i was gonna say.

Also remember, there is one huge advantage to getting padawan, your second server slot. You could do village quests just for fun or the rewards, convert xp whenever you max from normal play, and you can bank your xp and never have to spend a skill point right up to the time you have 7.4mil banked. Then do the exit and padawan quests, get your second toon, and store your lightsaber and robes away and noone would ever know you were a jedi and you'd never get visibility/bounty hunters. The only cost is the 24 skill points which you'd permanently lose, though they would get you some decent offense and defense modifiers, etc...

If you wanted to after this you could surrender some of your FS-skills and lose your Jedi status in the process, so you can spend the skill point on much more exciting things, while still retaining your secondsupport character

if I am not mistaken, you canot drop the the FS skills once you complete the Mellichae quest. At that point you have become Jedi Initiate and cannot turn back (the 6 branches of FS-skills are a pre-req for Jedi Intiate.


Basically you cannot have the FSCS and NOT be a jedi (to reiterate what other have said, its not the 'get an extra character quest', its the 'Become a Jedi quest')


Though if you choose carefully, you can have the 24 SP in FS skill in boxes useful to you, and still retain dual profession mastery, AND have Padawan, and the FSCS. (though what it means is you lose the ability to have SP spread into a 3rd Elite profession, and those FS boxes dont really make up for that and being a Padawan by itself doesnt really give you anything)

yeah, at least get defenses and speed/accuracy for yer character (depending on if he/she is ranged or melee) they can help quite a bit, and at 1 SP per box, you can't beat the price. you can even get crafting/surveying/healing FS skills if you are a boring non-combat profession.

Is this true even if you do not use your lightsaber? At what point does one's character lose the ability to wear armor?

You can still wear armor as long as you have the armor certs, whether you're a padawan or not. You just can't use your lightsaber or force powers if you're wearing armor.

As far as wearing armor as jedi, you can wear armor, you just cant perform any jedi related skills while armored. i.e. light saber, powers, force heal, and all that jazz.



At least his was how it was explained to me.

you never lose the ability to wear armour ever, you just cannot use force powers while wearing it.

Have to disagree, you CAN lose the ability to wear armor, but not until you've dumped whatever profession gives you particular armor certs. By the time you are a full temp jedi, you definately won't be able to equip armor, but then again, why would you need to.
