Ok, I am going to give the stats for my actual charachter first here, then update everyone on the progress I am haveing with my wifes charachter:


FSR = You barely feeling something different about yourself


Class Masterys = Merchent (Holo 1), Scout (Holo 2), Artisan (non-Holo), Droid Engineer (Holo 3)


Badges = Total around 61+, these include (and manually watched and checked), 44 POI badges (still can not trigger Deeja Peak), Rebel Story Arc badges 1,2,3, Librarian, the Explore Badges and the Badge Collectors Badges.


When the new system went into place, I only had my Mastery badges, the Story Arcs and several POIs, includeing Obi-Wans place and most of the Tat badges, except R2-D2 and C3pos Escape pod, Sarlacc and Krayt Dragon Skelaton, for a total of around 16-20 badges. After reading this threed and others, thats when I ran around all night long to get the rest of the POI badges and did not have an FSR change even after getnig all the Jedi POIs.


Now, lets look at my wifes toon.


For those who have not read my second post to this threed on page 3, please do so, so that you can see the progression. When I posted last night, my wifes toon was on Corellia, and I was about to start geting the rest of the POI badges from there. Here now is the continueing journal of progression:


Rebel Outpost - Status check: still at Faint sense of the force

Agrilate Swamp - Status check: no change

Rouge Corsec Base - Status check: no change

Theater on Verini Island - Status check: no change


Ported to Dantooin


Dantari Lake Village - Status check: no change

Dantari Stone Village - Status check: no change

Abandond Rebel Base - Status check: no change

Jedi Temple Ruins - Status check: no change


Log, went to bed, got up, and decided to Port to Yavin. At this point, I made the decision to do the Exar Kun Temple first, to see if things would change, after geting all 3 Jedi POIs, here is the results of my Yavin badges:


Temple of Exar Kun Status check: Status raised to: You feel a Surge of the Force with in you. Obtaining this badge result in also obtaining the Badge Collector 25 Badges and the Journyman Explore 20 Badges badge


Woolamander Temple - Status check: no change

Blue Leaf Temple - Status check: no change


As you can see, there is an intresting development here, 1st, I did get an FSR change after obtaining the 3rd Jedi POI, but I also got the 25 badges badge at the same time. Does this mean that maybe the 25 badges is what gave me the FSR change? Unknowen, but a theory that maybe someone else can check, by geting 25 badges through POIs and avoiding the Jedi badges the going back to get them later.


Also, we can now tell, that Surge is not the 5th rank in the list for FSR, but actually the 4th rank.


I will continue my badge collecting and add more info here as I do so, includeing any changes should they show up.









Pretty much this exact thing happened to me. I used one of my "mess aorund" toons AFTER Pub 10 to do all the badges I could. All I had pre-Pub10 was Master Entertainer and Dance Master(neither were holo's as far as I know because I never got a holo to and my /check was at "no sense" beforeI started badge hunting). I started on Naboo, then Tat, then Corelia, Dant, Yavin. By Tat, I was "barely feeling different". When I finished Tat(all but Tusken), I was "faint sense". Through all of Corelia there was no change. No change as well on all of Dant. Had started chatting with someone I met doing the same thing and at about the same point of badges. He however had already hit "surge" on Dant BUT he had been to Exar Kun's already. Decided to try it and SURE ENOUGH...Exar Kun gave me both the last of the 3 Jedi PoI's and got me the 20(explorer) AND MORE IMPORTANTLY...SURGING. One thing everyone needs to remember is that there are two different rewards for badge types. One is for overall badges and the other is for explorer(or hidden loc badges). Also keep in mind that "hard" PoI's do not count as lesser ones.


According to the info on this post (which I now believe is 100% correct) I have 5 content badges to go. This will be difficult as that toon has little combat ability. I keep hearing Nym's is easy so I'll try it first then prolly Reb Theme. Hopefuly I can build up some combat ability by the end of those to be ready for the harder ones.


Thanks SO much for starting this post! For once there is useful info and not wild speculation

I "Barely sense something different" about myself.


Help?







Try Nym's Themepark. It's the easiest of all themeparks, I did it in 15 minutes.


If that doesn't help, post every single badge or post a screen shot of your badge list, so we can see what is missing.








Oh, excuse me, I don't have Jabba's Themepark on that character at all. I have Jabba's Badge of Courage which is the Corvette badge. Sorry about that. Didn't mean to give misinformation.


Will try Nym's now. Thanks for advice

It really shouldn't require combat skills considering only 12 professions out of the 32 are combat only. It puzzles me why from what we know it requires combat skills.

These are potential alternates for Content Badges.
There is not yet enough information to garantee any of these.

- Large numbers of profession badges

EASY POI's (have done 5)
Looks like I just need to complete Jabba's Themepark. I have already done Valarians Themepark, so it looks to me as if Valarians Themepark does not give any credit as I have 4 badged ones already.

Great guide! Thanks and well done!

Ok, I promised I would update you on my situation:


As stated before, I started Pub 10 with the following setup:

4 Holo-Professions Mastered (Musician, Fencer, Combat Medic, Pikeman)

6 Basic Professions Mastered (after the Holos went silent)

1 Elite Profession (Squad Leader)

1 Additional Profession (Tailor)

1 Content Badge (Nym)

1 Cries of Alderaan Badge

45 POI Badges (All of them)

/checkforcestatus: 'Faint'.


Step 1: Jabba's Theme Park = Faint

Step 2: Librarian Badge = Faint

Step 3: Warren 'Compassion' = Faint

Step 4: Warren 'Hero' = Faint

Step 5: Rebel Theme Park => GLOW!!


I'm a happy man! Fear not people, you too can jump from Faint to Glow in a single Content Badge. I will post more when I know more. I'm working on a theory about badges being worth points and the point scale NOT being linear. Good luck everyone.

Here is my update on doing POIs with my wifes toon. As of my post yesterday, I had Talus, Dath, Endor, Lok and Rori to go before haveing all or most of the POI badges. Here is the results.


All Talus badges recieved - Status, no change, still at Surge

All Dath badges recieved - Status, no change

All Endor badges recieved - Status, no change

All Rori adges recieved - Status, no change

All Lok badges recieved - Status, no change


Through this run of POI badges with my wifes toon, I also obtain the 50 Badge for collectors and the 40 Badge for Explorer. At this point, I only need the Deeja Peak badge to have all POIs and the 45 Badge for Explore, but I still can not get the damn thing to work. lol


I also went to do the Warren this morning, to start the content badges, but was unable to get in, and realized I need combat in order to survive, or have a group with me. The people who promised to aid me in doing the content badges, have not lived up to their part of the bargin.


If there is anyone from the Eclipse server that is reading this post, and would be willing to help me with these badges, so as to help keep this journal going, so that others will have something to use in their quest to geting into the village to get Jedi, or just some FS skills to enhance their current charachter, please let me know. I am on most days from 6pm Eastern Time till about 10pm Eastern time. My wifes toons name is Gwenavier and mine is Argzzmordon.


Thank you for any help in advance.

The /check command is not always working correctly, so don't worry too much about it. It will tell you when you glow.

YOu're going to have to get those content badges, i guess. I think the whole point of the badges is that you do have to grind a bit to be able to survive getting them, if not a whole lot. If they wanted to be really mean, they'd make the corvette badges an absolute requirement.

Here is my continueing update on the progression of my wifes toon toward obtaining Glowing status.


I just completed the Warren, both quests. This was difficult to do since my wifes toon is non-combat. But with help from several people, I was able to do it. Special thanks goes out to Tyre for helping keep me alive at one point with heals and some needed info, and to Firio, who helped lead me on with the remaining info needed to get the evidance and find the women with which to give the letter. Thanks a bunch guys, much appreciated.


Now, the results of geting these 2 badges is, no change, still at Surge of the Force within.


Another person who was down in the Warren though, completed the 2 quests, and got Glowing. The only content badges this person had were, the Rebel, Jabba and Nyms Theme parks.


As soon as I am able to do those theme parks, I will give an update.

Ok, I've read the guide to glowing and I have the following:


4 Content Badges (2 Warren, Nym's Themepark, Rebel Themepark)

6 Mastered Profession Badges

ALL Exploration Badges (Including the Jedi POIs)

Trivial Librarian Badge


But yet I still recieve the message "You barely sense something different about yourself..."


I lack the following:


Imperial Themepark

Jabbas Themepark

All the Corvette Badges

and

The Hero of Tattooine Badges


I don't know exactly what I'm doing wrong, but it seems like others do less and they are glowing, maybe my character is not meant to be a jedi?

The /check command is currently bugged. But you seem to be missing one content badge. Do jabba and 100 credits says you will turn glowy
