I finally dragged a crafting toon through to glowy status about 4 weeks ago. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had a free unlock - the first I've had on any toon. The system is still active, if you have the required masters. He had 5 master badges, and 3 of those must've been holoprofessions for him to get a free unlock.

Yes, Revamp hit and I got to guinea pig their new system ended up with fubar'd force trees. I have skills that are useless to me as a jedi, and I cant change them without dropping and regrinding how fun eh

Unless you actually did all 4 holos before publish 9, you will not get any credit at all. The 4 silents were 4 random profs and you had to get all 4 silent as well if you wanted all the free unlocks.


So it was a table like this :


1 Holo prof - 0 unlocks
2 Holo prof - 0 unlocks
3 Holo prof - 1 unlock
4 Holo prof -2 unlocks
5 Holo prof -3 unlocks
6 Holo prof -4 unlocks
7 Holo prof -5 unlocks
8 Holo prof -6 unlocks


The OP problem is going to be how to prove you got those profs before Pub 9. Additionally if you were a really early player, there was a bug at some point in 2003 that basically cancelled some of the profs you had done, but this was before the holocron system I believe.








Anyway to verify if any holo grinds have been done??

You didn't have to pop a new silent holo pr profession, after you got you silent holo you just kept mastering, a friend of mine did 18 professions after the 4th silent holo, he got 4 free unlocks

It depends on how many holocrons you mastered. I mastered 2 of them and got no credits at the village. Was need 3+ to get credits, up to 8 holocrons (4 of them were silent) to have 6 free unlocks. This way some guys went jedi without the fs grinding at all.

Unless it changed in the last couple weeks you should still get them, I did mine a few weeks ago and i got them. I grineded every prof except for pikeman and armorsmith and when i went to the village i got 5 free unlocks and something like 7.5 mill FS xp. hope you do get them, would suck if you didnt.

hey,


So i grinded the holocrons before they brought in the FS Village. I was told that i will get free unlocks since i did holocrons but when i went to go get the free unlocks i couldent get them. So i fill out a Ticket and a CSR responds and say there not giving me the free unlocks. Any ideas?






cancel your sub because your nerfed as a jedi anyway?

I did not complete ONE holo. I used a holo and it said to master pikeman, but I decided not too and just went on playing the game. I ended up mastering 8-9 profs pre pub 10 and when I got to the village I recieved TWO free unlocks.

it is not the number of professions mastered, it is the number of 'secret holo' professions mastered. so even if you did 10 or 12 or 14 professions....you may not have unlocked your own special ones (unless you used the holocrons as a guide..in which case you would unlock 4 for sure and then wing it for the others.


originally, it took 5 professions. the devs secretly increased the number as more and more jedi unlocked to 8.


hope you get what you deserve. that seems only right.

Talk to Paemos. If you have N free unlocks, you completed N+2 holoprofessions.
