Would someone please point me to a link describing this in some detail or if you have the time or are bored at work, a little explaination here would be greatly appreciated.


I've recently returned to the game and have respecced to BH(along with 99.99999% of the population) and am now curious as to how to increase my Combat Level and how this affects my choice of weapons with regard to certifications.


Thank you in advance.

Ok now this will probably be the worst guide in the world but here goes. Your combat level will now be around the 50's or 60's if I'm correct, to get to 80 (the maximum) you must master two elite combat professions. As to weapon certifications if you look at the description of the weapons it will have a combat level (CL) and any special skill requirements, such as a certain profession or skill box. Thats really all there is to it lol, hope this helps you out.

Weapons Certs

And as far as CLs are concerned, it's kinda screwy. I helped a friend respec 3 boxes from rifleman to bounty hunter, and he went from CL 39 to CL 40. Go figure.

Thanks for all the help chaps. I now understand how it works(kind of). I came in with the BH rspec at CL56 which appears to me means I am able to use most weapons and more importantly the BH specific ones to full advantage.


When fighting NPC's or PC marks does CL have any bearing on your effectiveness or success with regard to damage and chance to hit, or is it simply there to stop new players using the high end weapons?

Just reinstalled the game and I had the same question, after being away from SWG for a year, I'm trying to figure out the new CL.


I take it they increase as you move up in skill levels, but is there something that shows what boxes increase your CL?


I'm only at CL18 and that's with Novice TK, Novice Smuggler and several other combatskills with only 108 skill points remaining.


I have Pistols 4 and Ranged 4 but only seem to be able to use a scout blaster, I miss my sliced FWG5.
