HI, I am a Smuggler in training. Once Ireach that profession I would like to buy a house and get a vendor to sell my spice. I've gone into many player shops now and have seen a number of different vendors from the machines to the NPCs. In the skill tree it is very vague about what type of vendor becomes available at each skill level be it Buisness I-IV or Hiring I-IV. It says NPC, droid, terminal - no specifics about species and what not.

Most of the NPC vendorsI have seen look ... well... kinda goofy. I went into a player shop today however and saw a Hammerhead NPC vendor. That is the guy I want selling my spice! That or a Walrusman if that is even an option. When it said NPC in the skill tree description I automatically assumed that it was limited to player species, so I was jacked to see ole' Hammerhead.

So my question is this: What skill level in the Business and/or Hiring skill lines do I need to get access to something like a Hammerhead vendor? That was the first one I have seen so it made me wonder if the requirements are high. Also once I reach that skill level do you get to choose the NPC species? I mean, is there a list or some such where I select "Hammerhead" or is species random and if so did that player just get lucky?

Lastly, since playing this game I have come to realize "Hammerhead" does indeed have an actual species that he belongs to. I saw it in a cantina but I cannot remember it so I am banking there are fans/players out there who know who I talking about. What can I say that was one of my favoriteguys when I was kid. ;p

Thanks!

I got access to the Ithorian Vendors at Hiring III. Very cool looking i think, and very tall, which looks odd standing next to the tiny Devaronion vendor I have.

Can I correctly assume you replied because Ithorian is the correct species name to which "Hammerhead" belongs? If so, then you are saying Hiring III is the magic skill level to get one?

Yes.. the Ithorian is the "Hammerhead." You get access to him at Hiring II however. The only new thing in Hiring III was a "Fancy Terminal." It turned out to be the terminal used for selling travel tickets. So in hiring II you got some very cool npc vendors, and in hiring 3 you get an ugly terminal. Was quite disappointing with that. Not sure where the "uniforms" thing comes in, which is what the title of hiring III is.

Uniforms must be handed to a vendor to wair, there is no radial menu, and once you have the item to the vendor by draging it gtom you invintory to the NPC its non-replaceable
