Any advice??

I don't believe that Cries of Alderaan is considered a content badge, but I'm not positive. You may need to get the other Warren badge or get a Corvette badge. Other than that it looks like you have everything.

Woot.. got the second badge to warren and jumpped straight to glowie... thanks MCRP22

Well, but that's a true statement... as long as when you say itthe onlyplayers you're thinking of are thosewho've chosen to learn combat professions. It's sort of like using the word "content" to mean only dungeons and theme parks.

I don't know why Ilet myself hope that the Jedi revamp would be fair to all of SWG'sloyal players (when it needs all the loyal players it can get), but I did. That's why, although the new system for becoming Force Sensitive is definitely an improvement over the hologrind, it's still a disappointment to see some players needlesslyexcluded.

Once again, SWG's currentdevelopers have decided that only people who matter, who deserve "content,"are the powerleveling combat-oriented players; everyone else in SWG plays a mere "support" profession who only get noticed forchanges when those changes are necessary to support combat. So aslong as they're playing SWG,the crafters, healers and entertainers might as well just belt up and learn toenjoywhatever crumbsfall from the plates of those who seeJedi merelyas Tekken characters with lightsabers.

So what's next? Will the next tweak to Jedi be a mighty voice that, when you've nearly defeated your enemy, thunders out, "Finish him!"?

Sigh. It's funny how a series of movies that everyone can enjoy have been turned into a game aimed at pleasing only a few people....

Disappointment aside,Ido need toaddthat Utess did a fine job putting together this guide. That some players will neverfeel anything more thanthe Force surging in them is not Utess's fault.

I followed this guide and it works just fine. I had 4 professions mastered, alll the location badges, and the jabba-rebel-Nym-Warren parks. I now glow brightly just not bright enough for santa clause to speed up his trip to my house (aka the old man visit).

When I checked for the first time after Publish 10, I was faint. I went to surging after seeing the other two Jedi POI - I'd already had Ben Kenobi's house badge. I also had 3 mastered professions and a buncha POIs. I didn't get glowing until I: (and this was a busy week...)

Did Nym's theme park

Finished the Rebel theme park

Got both Warren badges (lucky me went down when the place had been cleaned out - I joined a "tour group" down there and got the two badges in 30 mins without seeing a single red NPC.

Did Jabba's theme park coast to coast on one set of buffs. If you can get past Reelo's very first mission solo (I did, thanks to buffs/brandy, and a set of composite armor); you should be able to handle everything else. Meat Beast was almost as tough as that Tusken Leader. Higher HAM, but nowhere near the resists.

At the end of Jabba's Theme Park I was glowing. Haven't been visited yet, but it's only been 36 hours. It was funny... while standing outside the Death Wish Bunker, one of our force got visited by the old man. Everyone of course started spamming him or demanding his head on a plate.

The only downside is my character is now an alcoholic from all the Vasarian brandy.

I have a character on Tarquinas as well - he's mastered one profession - medic, doesn't have more than 4 POIs, but he does have both Warren badges. He has no connection to the Force at all.

Thanks for the guide!

Started off "barely noticing" and already had all the difficult POI, some other random POIand also 1 Jedi POI (Ben's House), and also Jabba's themepark done & Master Marksman (only profession ive mastered)

Did the Nym's, The Warren (Both) and the Destroy Vette missions and went to "faint"

Did the imp themepark today and still "faint". Went and got Jedi ruins on Dantooine POI still "faint"

Went to Exar Kun temple on Yavin POI and went straight to "surging".

Than got the POI for the Woolamander Temple POI and went "Glowing"

Now to wait for the old man. Thanks again!

Ok, first I am going to try and help answer some questions and add a comment here or there, for my fellow crafters.

My wifes toon is or was pure Weaponsmith / Dancer. Right now, I got rid of a few useless skills from the Merchent line that she doesnt need right now, and got her toon Novice Marksman. Look for skills you can drop and relearn really easily. I know it sucks, but what can be done. While runing the parks, get a full 3hr buff from a doc, a good weapon and a nice suit of armor, and go to town.

Next, how to do a faction theme park if your a nuetral crafter. Simple, do the 2 Warren Badges. Upon completeing the Imperial Hero, you get 500 Imp faction pnts, enough to go Imperial. After that, ask for help from other players. It was thanks to several people, that I was able to get both Warren Badges for my wifes toon, and I didnt even fire a shot. Other theme parks, such as Nyms and Jabbas, get some friends to help you. If your on the Eclipse server, I will help anyone out with these dungeons, if only to force an overload of people on to the Dath server to pay SOE back for screwing every crafter in the game!

Second, it was asked why a crafter wants Jedi anyways. A lot of the crafters dont, such as the case with my wife. They just want to get some of the FS skills to improve their crafting with, thats all nothing more.

As for the Librarian counting toward content, this is wrong. I had it on my charachter, comlpeted both warren badges, nyms and rebel and did not get inner glow until I completed Jabbas.

It was also asked for a fast way to go from negative Jabba faction to posative Jabba faction. Here is what I did to go from negative to posative, I grabbed 2 missions against Valarians, both in the same direction. With luck, they were 200m roughly from each other. Then, I ran from one camp to the other, killing them over and over again. (key is, not destroying the camps, just the npcs)If you get camps with Assassins, Camp Gaurds and Enforcers, you will get 200+ Jabba pnts per group of 4 killed. This is 400 pnts per loop.

Now, many people, like myself, had either knowingly completed holocron classes, or mastered 6+ classes in general. My toon was stuck on, You barely feel anything different about yourself, since day one. It was not until I had, just today, gotten my 5th content badge, that I went from Barely to Inner Glow.

This guide works 100%. Utess made the guide, and like many of you, I was skeptical, but because of my skeptasism, I went and did everything I could to confirm that this guide works, not just for myself, but so that we, the SWG community, can give SOE one of the biggest headaches ever, by overloading the Dath server.

SOE cheesed me off from day 1 of this patch, as well as many others. And I for one feel its about time that we as the SWG community and as a consumer base, show our displeasrue through any means available to us, and as it stands, this is one way to do that in my opinion, by makeing the Live Team and Dev Team finaly start working for a change.

For those on the Eclipse server that wish help with geting theme park badges, you can look me up under my toon or my wifes. The names are Argzzmordon and Gwenavier. I am on most evenings from 6pm to 10 or 11pm EST. Give a shout if you need help, especially crafters, I know what your going through.

I have got to surge level with 2 different characters now, one of which has mastered no professions. What they have in common is Ben's Hut, Ruined Jedi Temple on Dantooine, Temple of Exar Kun, Abandoned rebel base on Dantooine and the rebel hideout on Corellia. I have yet to do any content badges with either of them, but according to the guide I guess I will have to get busy with the themeparks and the warren.

On a side note, I'm curious as to why non-combat proffesion oriented players would even want to be Jedi to begin with. You think they carry lightsabers to chop down trees to build houses with? I mean, you got bounty hunters, the whole galactic civil war thing goin' on, and so on an so forth. What're you gonna do when a BH picks your name off a terminal, throw crafting tools at him?

I'm starting to worry a bit about something here. I do some serious roleplaying with my imperial character. This means it would ruin the characters credibility if he started doing theme parks for criminals (being rebels, Jabba, and Nym). I've read through a lot of this but the info is a bit confusing at times. Please tell me it's possible to get to glowing without having to do anything to "compromise" myself? =)

Thanks in advance!

Well, you'll need four more content badges. So, if you do the 3 imperial corvette ones that will still leave you with one more to do. You could do 1 neutral corvette badge also. But I can see your point. I'm a roleplayer as well. Unless there is another way to get content badge credit that's not been found yet, you'll have to do at least 1 corvette neutral badge.

That is if I'm understanding all of this as well. LOL

Oh, I forgot, you can get the Warren badges.

So, you could have Imperial theme park, Warren badge 1, warren badge 2 and the 2 corvettes badges. That should do it.

then do Nym's themepark

then Jabba's themepark

then rebel or imperial themepark

now go and get yourself 2 warren badges.. this can be done easily tho you need to spend a little while at the warren due to the silly amount of people camping it (no problems with getting shot tho

)

The guide worked for me. At the beginning of Publish 10 I had only a faint sense of the force. I had done 2 holos 12 total professions, the rebel theme park, Acts 1 & 3 of COA, and abouta third of the POIs, but all of the required ones. I had also done the Valerian quests and the borov/darklighter quests.

After publish 10, first, I did all of the POIs. I did a check force after each one. No change. Next, I did the Jabbas theme park. No change. Then Nyms. No change. Finally, afterI did both warren badges, I was glowing.

My expereince is consistent with the suggested path to glowing. However, the fact that the COA badges, 2 holos, and non badge quests didn't help, suggests that those opitional credit choices don't actually work.

Thanks for the guide, I hope this data helps.
