Tracking a Bounty across water


Today's tip is for all of you Bounty Hunter's out there and it comes from Katalisha.


When tracking NPC Bounties, sometimes the waypoint spawns in the water


HERE IS HOW TO AVOID MARKS SPAWNING IN WATER:



  • When you arrive at the planet where your mark is hiding out, look at your planetary map (CTRL-V).

  • If the mark's waypoint is over water - go make a cup of coffee (after you send out your seeker droid).

  • Come back after you've made your coffee to find the waypoint has moved several hundred meters

  • Go kill your mark.

  • Loot your mark.

  • Drink the coffee.







Do you have a useful tip that you want to share with your fellow Star Wars Galaxies players? E-mail it to SWGTips and if we select the tip we'll post it as the Tuesday Tip and give you the credit! Send us the character name and server you'd like us to include if we post the tip.

I prefer to surf and post to the SWGmessage boards while I wait for the poor mark to make his first move toward impending death. Coffee is good, too, though.

On the same topic, is there a plan to makeMaster Force Healers more than a BH piggie bank?




--- Cancelled 24th November 2006
Reason: The lack of multiplayer pve content and Star Wars feel.
For 3 years I have tried to find excuses to stay in game but only the expansions offered me what I subscribed for in the first place: A multiplayer Star Wars pve experience with friends around the globe. I found friends but with almost no addition of pve content they dropped out one by one. Now it's my turn.

In other news, are there plans to make other proffesions more enticing other than Jedi and BHs?

Oh, Master Force Healer enticing?

Seeing a MFH is like spotting Elvis.

Least played masterbox in the game should tell you something. Ask around. You will have an easier time tracking down a Droid Engineer or Squad Leader.

MsNiL, I wouldn't expect this kind of trolling from you. I respect a lot of your ideas, and I'm honestly surprised to see you stooping to this. This is not a thread about Jedi vs. BH encounters it is a tip that relates only to NPC bounty targets. To try and push for Jedi Healer changes here is below you.


To the original poster, great idea, and a usefull one.

This is horrible! I return to find my new title on the forum is "Jedi". What's up with that? If they wanted to confer that I'm rare and learned, they'd make my title RANGER. and then make it camo colored.
